Cao Shuqing was silent for a moment before continuing: "To put it bluntly, you still don't believe your mother. Why? Is it because he was deceived by the rest of the Cao family? Or do you have a grudge against your grandmother? Did your grandmother treat you very coldly when she was alive? Love to ignore it? Don't get me wrong, she told me a long time ago that if she cares too much about you and your brother, your uncle and second uncle will use your brother and sister as bargaining chips to threaten her, and you don't know what kind of harm you will suffer at that time. That's why she deliberately pretends to be indifferent to you, but in fact, she still loves you and your brother very much. ”

If Xie Yinghui had heard these words half a year ago, she would have believed them without saying a word, and she was deeply moved by the kindness of her grandmother, Duchess Chengen, and would not ask anything else. But now, Xie Yinghui, who is well-informed and has seen through the true face of the Cao family, is not so easily deceived.

She looked at her mother and said with a straight face: "I know very well how much my grandmother used to love my brother and me. It's just that no matter how kind her old man is, she didn't stop her third uncle and you from framing her father and embezzling the Xie family's property. She knew that by doing so, my brother and I would have a great impact on our future, and the wealth that should have belonged to us would fall into the hands of others! But she would rather let the Chengenhou Mansion and the Cao family's second, fourth, and fifth rooms share the benefits, rather than leave some family funds for me and my brother.

"So...... My grandmother loves my third uncle, I believe it, but her love for your mother is definitely not as good as that of your third uncle, so she knew that you were not happy and still married you to your father. As for your children, my brother and me, they will naturally be even more at the back of the line. I am saddened by my grandmother's death, but I am not so much saddened by the death of her old man as I am ...... What I can't bear is actually a carefree childhood, right? ”

Cao Shuqing was speechless for a while. In this matter, she does owe something to her children. She has tried her best to fight for more benefits for her two children, but her nephew Cao Wenheng is unlucky, and the third sister-in-law Cheng turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, destroying her original plan.

She lowered her head rarely, and comforted her daughter softly: "This matter is the fault of your third aunt and cousin Wen Heng." When I left Beijing, I couldn't have imagined that they would go so far! Originally, I thought that they would also take into account the wishes of your third uncle when he was alive...... I believed them wrongly. She looked at her daughter and hesitated, "What are you interested in about that marriage ......now?" What do you think? If you insist on marrying Wen Heng......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xie Yinghui directly interrupted her: "Don't be kidding! His kind of bastard, why would he want me to marry him?! Besides, it is still unknown whether he will become a cripple now, and you are still not my own mother? You want me to marry a waster?! Or a notorious waster! ”

Cao Shuqing hurriedly said: "If you don't want to, forget it." Originally, I was not very satisfied with Wen Heng. His reputation has been ruined like this, and it is very likely that he will not be able to inherit the title of Earl Pingnan in the future, if you marry him, won't you be ruined for the rest of your life?! It's just that I thought that you liked your cousin so much in the past, and if you still think about him, then I, as your mother, will help you realize this wish. ”

Xie Yinghui sneered: "In the past, he deliberately coaxed him, so I mistakenly regarded him as a good person." Now that I have recognized his true colors, of course I can't jump into the fire pit by myself! How ruthless their mother and son are to me, you are not in the capital, of course you don't know. But Cao Wenfeng burned me not long ago, and the wound is still not complete! Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go to the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion every day for follow-up. Don't you know anything about it? Or do you know that I still have a deep affection for Cao Wenfeng's brother? Do you think I'm stupid?! ”

Of course, Cao Shuqing doesn't think that her biological daughter is stupid, but she herself is a dedicated and affectionate person, and she has seen her daughter's eyes full of Cao Wenheng, so she thinks that her daughter is still obsessed with the marriage contract with Cao Wenheng, and plans to persuade her daughter to give up. After all, Cao Wenheng is no longer suitable now, and marrying him is really not a good future.

If Xie Yinghui knew her mother's thoughts, she would definitely scoff at it. Her mother herself failed to insist on her relationship with Fang Wenshan, in order to help her brother, she obeyed her mother's order to marry Xie Pu, and it was not until Fang Wenshan became famous that she rekindled her old relationship, why did she think that she was a dedicated person, and her daughter would also recognize a man, and she would no longer be able to accept marrying someone else?

Xie Yinghui is still most concerned about the old question: "Are you married to Fang Wenshan?" If not, my uncle is lying to me. Now that their husband and wife have spread your reputation in the capital, they are almost about to get you out of the family tree, and they have implicated my brother and me. If this is all a lie, I will set the record straight for you, save some of your reputation, and at least don't let my brother and I be ridiculed as soon as we go out! ”

Cao Shuqing has wanted to avoid this topic more than once, but she didn't expect her daughter to still chase after her. She knew that it was useless to hide this matter, because she was going to propose to take her daughter away in a while, if she didn't make it clear in advance, and when her daughter saw Fang Wenshan, it would be difficult to clean it up.

She could only reply in the most tactful tone possible: "Your grandmother has already instructed me, so after I left Beijing, I first went to settle near the place where your uncle Fang worked. I originally thought that after your third uncle's filial piety, I would marry him again, but I didn't expect your grandmother to ...... again However, your grandmother and her old man thought of it before, so I discussed with your Uncle Fang, and got married in a hot filial piety, as if marrying a desolate relative, and waited for three years of filial piety before ...... Round room again to complete the ceremony......"

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly explained: "This is also a matter of no choice." I am a weak woman alone, although I played the banner of the daughter of the Cao family, but I can't get the protection of my mother's family, a year and a half is good to say, after a long time, there will be people suspicious. Your Uncle Fang and I have not been married for a day, so it is inconvenient to protect me for a day, and it is not good for my reputation...... A year of filial piety can barely survive, if you keep it for another three years...... It's so inconvenient! And if I had married him first, he would have been my husband at least nominally, and he would have been able to stand up for me in case of trouble. I'm not in a strange place, and I'm not left alone......"

She said so much, and repeatedly emphasized that she was acting on the orders of her deceased mother, not eloping to get married, but Xie Yinghui looked at her and still showed a disappointed expression: "I knew it...... What about marrying a desolate relative? There is no way to hide the fact that you are marrying with filial piety. Many excuses are just a cover-up, worrying that it will be inconvenient for you to be out alone, so why do you have to live in a strange place? Why not come back? My grandmother has passed away, as long as you don't deliberately go against your uncle and aunt, do they still need to deal with you?! You are stranded outside, isn't it to be with Fang Wenshan?! Uncle and aunt spoke a little ugly, but they never wronged you. My brother and I, as your sons and daughters, can only bear all the hardships of your bad reputation...... Even if you are ridiculed and despised by others, it is a matter of course! ”

Xie Yinghui looked at her mother, and the expression on her face gradually became indifferent: "I have known these things for a long time, and I still have a trace of extravagant hope for you, hoping that you are not what my uncle said...... I'm so stupid, really! ”
