Chapter 7: The Slap
Qin Huining saw the person coming from a distance in the sunset, and his pupils shrank.
Qin Yining is tall and bright, and when she walks, the honey-colored cloak is slightly unfolded, revealing a ripple-like goose yellow long skirt, the ripples are light, it seems that her gait is very light, with some vigor in the weakness, her back is straight, and she smiled slightly when she saw Qin Huining, Xiao looks like Qin Chengxiang's appearance when she was young, so that Qin Huining felt that she had lost when she saw it.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Huining told herself: I am the concubine! I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! That's just a wild man! I'm familiar with surviving in this mansion, so Qin Yining should be nervous!
After doing a good job of psychological construction, Qin Huining walked towards Qin Yining with a smile, took the initiative to hold her hands and curtsy: "Sister Xiaoxi, you are here." I was thinking of ordering someone to invite you to Sydney Temple, because there is a rule in the house that morning and dusk are fixed. β
Still clinging to her title, this person is not finished!
Qin Yining returned the salute with a smile: "Miss Huining, thank you for your kindness, it's just that Mother Jin thought of the rules to tell me about the province first, so she didn't make me make a fool of myself in front of my wife." But I appreciate your kindness. β
Hearing the words "Miss Huining", Qin Huining's smile stiffened for a moment, and then she heard that it was Mother Jin's telling, and she inevitably began to doubt the attitude of the eldest lady, and glanced at the Cai family next to her without a trace.
Cai immediately blinked knowingly.
Qin Huining took Qin Yining's hand and walked into Xingning Garden, and said gently: "You have just come back, and you don't know much about everything in the house, if you need anything, you can come and ask me, although I am not talented, I still know some of the most simple truths." "Ironically, Qin Yining doesn't understand the most superficial rules.
"Thank you, Miss Huining, my father will arrange for Xixi and the grandmother who teaches the rules to explain these things." Qin Yining spoke slowly and was extremely kind: "But I grew up in the countryside, so naturally I can't compare to the blessing that Miss Huining grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion." The allusion is that she is still triumphant about occupying the magpie's nest.
The two of them walked under the porch and looked at each other with smiles.
Qin Huining kept staring at Qin Yining's eyes at first, and she didn't know if it was because Qin Yining looked like her father, her eyes were clear, and there was a sharp cold that belonged to a beast, which made Qin Huining can't help but dodge, and when she realized what she had done, she began to sulk again.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yining's edge was not weak at all.
"The fourth girl and Miss Huining are here." The sound of the big girl picking oranges broke the deadlock, curtsied, and lifted the warm curtain to the side.
Qin Huining's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
The fourth girl is no longer calling her, with her father's words, she has changed from a concubine to an adopted daughter.
Qin Yining saw her expression clearly, and frowned slightly.
The dim light cast a faint halo on the ground under the feet of the two, and a wave of heat and a faint fragrance of melons and fruits came to the surface, as if it was spring.
They each handed their cloaks to the maidservants to put away, and Qin Yining couldn't help but blink curiously and look around with her big watery eyes. She originally thought that the place where she lived was already very good, but now she didn't know what it meant to be gorgeous when she arrived in Xingning Garden.
At least there's the warmth she doesn't have there.
Bypassing the interstitial screen to the side hall, Qin Huining smiled coquettishly: "Mother." Have you ever had dinner? Curtsied, then quickly stepped forward and sat beside Sun, looking at Qin Yining as if demonstrating.
Qin Yining saluted in a formal manner and saluted, "Madam." "I was a little envious that Qin Huining could be so close to the Sun family.
Sun patted Qin Huining's hand, looked at Qin Yining with complicated eyes, and said coldly, "You can also sit down." Did you have dinner? β
The orange picker immediately put on the embroidery pier and placed it five steps away from Sun's side.
Qin Yining sat down sideways, looked at where Qin Huining was sitting and the hand he was holding with Sun, his eyes became cold, and he lowered his eyes politely and politely: "Mrs. Hui, I have already eaten." β
Sun let out an "oh" and didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
Qin Huining seemed to understand Sun's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Is Xiaoxi still used to living in Sydney Courtyard?" What is missing? β
Sun immediately said: "Yes, if you lack anything, tell your subordinates and ask them to prepare." He nodded approvingly at the tip of Qin Huining's nose.
That intimacy made Qin Yining feel even more like an outsider.
In fact, when Sun suspected that she was an outer roomgirl, she was already an outsider, right?
Burying expectations and disappointments deep in his heart, Qin Yining curled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and two small pear vortices appeared on his cheeks, "Yes, thank you for your care." β
Sun looked at Qin Yining, his gaze slightly softened.
A girl who is so similar to Qin Huaiyuan, and her temperament is not annoying, which is really disgusting, but she still has doubts in her heart, but she is sure whether she was raised in the outer room.
Seeing Sun's attitude soften, Qin Huining felt uneasy, and asked coquettishly knowingly: "Mother, where is my father?" Are you coming back today? β
When Sun heard this, his face turned half darker.
Qin Huaiyuan has a four-room concubine room, and it is Aunt Hua's turn today, just now Qin Huaiyuan ordered someone to say that he will not come back today.
Thinking that their husband and wife had quarreled because of the hooves in front of them, and they couldn't meet at night if they wanted to ease the relationship, Sun couldn't help but get angry, and looked at Qin Yining's eyes with a little more disgust that he couldn't hide, and couldn't help but burst out of his harsh words.
"The lord loves you, and he has ordered someone to go to the palace to invite the grandmother who has brought up the rules and etiquette, and will come early tomorrow morning, and he will also spend a lot of money to invite you to a western seat. This is the original preferential treatment that Sister Hui and none of them have. The more Sun Shi said, the more sour her heart became, and she had already persuaded herself to believe the things that had not yet been determined, and she felt that Qin Huaiyuan was so good to Qin Yining because she was good to the outer room, and her voice couldn't help but rise.
"I don't care where your mother is now, since you have arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must abide by the rules of our Prime Minister's Mansion, and tell you to study, so you will study carefully, don't think about being lazy or pushing. People like us will have more opportunities to show up in the future, if you make a fool of yourself outside and lose the face of our prime minister's house, I will lift your skin carefully! β
Hearing Sun's reprimand, Qin Yining had already stood up. At this time, she lowered her long eyelashes expressionlessly, and her heart seemed to have been ripped off by Sun's knife, and it was frozen into an ice lump by the cold blood.
The biological mother refused to recognize her several times, doubting her origin, which really broke her heart!
When she returned to the house, it was only half a day, she was disliked by her grandmother, suspicious by her relatives, bullied by her subordinates, and even her biological mother treated her like this!
Was she angry when she came back?
She endured it again and again, thinking that she could impress the hearts of these people with her well-behaved and sensible, but what could she get in exchange?
Perhaps, she is too naΓ―ve and imagines the life of the hairpin clan too beautifully.
Everyone who lives here does not hesitate to use all kinds of malice to speculate on people's hearts, obviously it is not in their way, and they also hate to trample others under their feet to highlight their tallness.
These people are even more terrible than the beasts!
Wild beasts eat people in order to survive.
They "eat people" for their own desires!
Qin Yining suddenly understood that blind weakness and concession would not be exchanged for pity! If she continues to show weakness and gentleness like this, I am afraid that one day she will be poisoned by the people around her, and she will not know!
"Madame, do you still refuse to believe my identity? You have been married to your father for many years, have you ever seen your father cheat on you because of such things? The father and the heirs are thin, if he really has blood, he can bring it back openly, and no one will say anything about him, why deceive you into a woman? You are so chasing after the wind and shadows out of nothing, you don't care if you hurt your daughter's heart, don't you care if you hurt your father's heart? . β
Sun's face turned red, and just one sentence of "the heir is thin" had already poked her heart, not to mention the questions in the back?
Because Qin Huaiyuan's heirs are thin, she is not less disliked by her mother-in-law, she can't give birth, so she has to allow Qin Huaiyuan to take concubines, but the concubines can't be born and raised, which can only show that Qin Huaiyuan has a problem, but her tricky mother-in-law blindly thinks that she is jealous of the concubine and gives them medicine.
Now that this little hoof is mentioned in a grand manner, how can she not be angry?
"Shut up!" Sun Shi pointed at Qin Yining with trembling hands: "What are you!" Mrs. Ben taught you two sentences, and you still dare to talk back! Give you three points of color and you will dare to open a dye shop! Come! Teach me a lesson this wild girl! β
With a finger of his hand, Sun called the big girl to pick oranges.
Picking oranges should be, rolling up his sleeves and about to slap his mouth, but as soon as he raised his head and met Qin Yining's ice pick-like eyes, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, and he couldn't fall with the hand he raised, thinking in his heart that this girl was really a wild man, and her eyes were like beasts!
Sun Shi was shocked by Qin Yining's cold eyes, stepped forward to pick up the orange, and raised his hand to give Qin Yining a slap.
Qin Yining covered his face, his eyes changed from disbelief to clarity.
The slap sounded crisply, and Sun's palms were numb, but her heart was a lot more relaxed, she held Qin Yining's shirt in one hand, and said hatefully: "Whether you are my daughter or not, I will naturally go to check, but whether you are or not, I can't talk to you in front of me!" Qin Meng's heirs are thin, has it become my fault? If you avenge his grievances, then only recognize him as a father, and don't think about recognizing me, a 'female streamer', as a mother! β
"Madam, you are angry." Mother Jin saw that Sun had said everything, and hurriedly came forward to persuade her.
Qin Huining also helped Sun to sit down on the side in a timely manner, and persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Mother, don't be angry, it's all about your daughter, if your daughter hadn't been embraced, there would be no current thing, let alone make you feel wronged, mother, no matter how angry you are, didn't you stick a knife in your daughter's heart." β
Sun pursed his lips when he heard this, and tears fell down his eyes.
Looking at the girl who was stunned by his own slap, Sun felt a little guilty and distressed for some reason. She thought that whether she was biological or not, she had to teach when she was supposed to be a mother-in-law, so she suppressed the guilt and said coldly: "You still don't get out!" β
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huining's posture and learned a few more points.
She lowered her head and hid her sneer, but her voice was very soft: "Please Madame, please calm your anger." β
Sun didn't look at her.
Qin Yining was about to leave.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the warm curtain being opened, and then saw Qin Huaiyuan enter the door wearing a light gray cloak with a big fur collar, looking at Sun with a gloomy face.
