Chapter 283: That Daughter
Buzzing.
Qiaoyu was stunned.
She stared at the old lady blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
The old lady did not speak.
Those words had been repeated many times in her heart.
After the initial cut-off was opened, it was not difficult for the old lady to continue talking.
However, for Qiaoyu, who listened to her story, it was the most difficult moment.
This kind of difficulty is not rejection, nor questioning, but confusion.
People are confused, and their brains are confused.
No matter how attentive and sincere the words are, they can't be completely conveyed to Qiaoyu's heart.
It's worse than going in the left ear and out of the right ear.
The old lady knows very well that the most taboo at this time is the word "eager".
Gotta slow down, slower again.
Give your child more time to accept.
Instead of adding more stuff to it when it's a mess.
This is all stiff and blocked, how can it be smoothed out after that?
Qiaoyu is different from Nianzhi.
Nianzhi has been doubting and pursuing for more than ten years, and he is prepared for everything.
Qiaoyu is indeed the one who doesn't know it.
Even though she has had some incomprehension in her heart recently, she has never thought about her life experience.
The old lady was not in a hurry to explain, nor did she rush her, she just held her daughter's hand, not very tight, but also did not let go.
After a long time, Qiaoyu's eyes had some brilliance.
"Slave maid...... "Slave maid" her voice trembled as soon as she spoke, "Slave maid is your biological daughter?" ”
The old lady nodded firmly.
Qiaoyu bit her lip.
Just now, she didn't actually think about anything.
Or rather, she tried to think hard, but her mind went blank.
Now, she can sort it out a little, and the old lady's words give her only three words.
"Unreal".
Because, her life in the early twenties ahead of her life was too real.
A loving grandmother, a gentle mother, a kind father, and a lovely brother.
Every day, every year, she spends at home, is real.
She is the girl of the family.
Although each family is different, in Qiaoyu's impression, grandmother, parents, and younger brother, they should be like that.
After entering the house, her identity changed and she became a maid.
It is also true that she does her own thing diligently and lives every day with her feet on the ground.
And the old lady's words overturned all her twenty years of life.
Yes, the folk girl, and the girl from the Guogong Mansion, really choose when you are reincarnated, and nine out of ten people will choose the latter.
But she is not reincarnated now.
She has grown up and is a person with a living "past".
As a result, her origins are fake, her past is fake, and her parents are fake......
Wandering and dazed, like a white mist, surrounded her.
The old lady looked at Qiaoyu's reaction, gently pinched her fingertips, and said, "I know that you will find it difficult to accept for a while, and this matter also needs to be calmed down, let's talk slowly." If you are in a mess, sort it out first, and if you can calm down, I'll talk to you again. What do you see? ”
Qiaoyu lowered her eyes.
Chaos is chaos.
It is said that the knife is quick to cut through the mess.
Hemp can be chopped, but life can't.
No matter how abrupt and unreliable it is, the matter is spread out in front of her, and she needs to calm down and sort it out.
When she was very young, her grandmother taught her to be a female red.
Thread the needle and lead, and you can't be in a hurry.
Splitting the line, you must be more patient.
But if you dry up for a moment, and pull it randomly, that section of the line will be completely wasted.
The words of her grandmother's teachings are still in Qiaoyu's mind.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly, she tried to calm herself down.
"You say," Qiaoyu curled her lips and squeezed out a smile that wasn't good-looking, "the slave listens, it will listen well." ”
"Nianzhi's biological mother is my cousin......" The old lady slowed down and explained to Qiaoyu what happened that year.
The prince was killed, and before he died, he entrusted the safety of his wife and children to Lin Xuan.
The crown princess gave birth to a son early, but fortunately, she took good care of it, and the child was slowly raised.
When the time the daughter was born, they changed children.
As a parent, how can you not worry about your own children?
But since they have chosen this path, they can only endure it, and the only thing they can do is to find a reliable and good family for their daughter.
And then, year after year......
Lin Xuan died of illness, she brought Qiaoyu back to her side, and she waited with the eldest princess and Lin Zhi for Nianzhi to grow up when he could make choices for his own life......
"He figured it out for himself," said the old lady, "and maybe it's the right time." He figured it out himself, thought it through, and then, walked on. ”
Qiaoyu never spoke.
As she herself said, she listened very carefully to the old lady's story.
In this dusty old affair that has been sealed for more than 20 years, there are too many people and too many choices.
It's not that she can't understand their choice.
She grew up in a relatively well-to-do private family, but her grandmother and parents had gone through troubled times, and they would recall a lot of old pains.
After entering the mansion, she learned about the Dingguo Mansion from the mouths of the grandmothers.
The deeds that have been built, the blood that has been paid.
She doesn't understand such and such things in the court, but she understands what courage and loyalty are.
If she is not the daughter in the story, she will definitely applaud and admire, and work hard for this high righteousness, courage, and perseverance.
But she is.
She's that daughter.
What she felt was pain and helplessness.
This emotion does not come from her heart, but from the heart of the old lady.
Obviously, what the old lady wanted to express was only her "guilt", but what she felt was the sincerity that the old lady wanted to hide.
This is mother and daughter......
Whether it is pain or helplessness, it comes from the old lady's own choice.
The old lady wanted to carry it herself, and she never wanted to put pressure on her.
Even if unconsciously.
But they are mother and daughter.
Heart to heart.
How could she not understand?
She is the daughter in the story, so in addition to admiration, she will also be sad and sad.
In her childhood, where she didn't know anything, how did her mother taste the thoughts of her alone?
The decision was a last resort.
Two swaddling children, there is no room for beaks at all.
Now it's different.
The grandfather of the country and the grandson of the emperor chose to face the difficulties.
Then she didn't want to be left behind.
"The slave and maid haven't figured it out yet," Qiaoyu sorted out her thoughts and said frankly, "It's not that you don't believe it, and it's not that you blame anyone, but that the slave and the slave are very hesitant...... However, the slave will continue to think, and believe that she will quickly straighten out and get used to it......"
You can't make a shrunken turtle.
Do not cover your eyes and ears.
She has a good grandmother and parents.
There is no consanguinity, but upbringing does not distinguish between consanguinity.
Whether it is the girl of the Guogong Mansion or the daughter of the dart master's family, the principle of basing herself on the world is the same.
She had to be worthy of her grandmother and adoptive parents.
She also had to be worthy of her biological parents, who couldn't raise her herself, but they chose the best home for her.
