"Him?" Hearing Murong Qiqi mention Murong Tai, Li Qiushui snorted coldly, the contempt and disdain in her eyes apparent, as if she felt that Murong Qiqi's words were lowering her status.
It seemed that she really wasn't Murong Tai's daughter. However, who was the "father" that Li Qiushui mentioned? Could it be that Li Qiushui had betrayed Murong Tai back then, and she was the daughter of Li Qiushui and someone else?
"Mother, who is my biological father?" Murong Qiqi looked at Li Qiushui quietly. She was a mysterious woman.
She was the Eldest Miss of the Li family and had a noble bloodline. Back then, Li Qiushui went against the wishes of her parents and married the poor scholar Murong Tai without any hesitation. With her help, Murong Tai not only won the title of Zhuangyuan in the imperial examinations, but he also got along well in the officialdom.
However, sixteen years ago, after giving birth to Murong Qiqi, she suddenly entered the temple hall and never came out again. No one knew why she would enter the temple hall when Murong Tai was famous throughout the world.
Many people said that it was because Murong Tai took in a concubine and broke the promise of being together forever. That was why Li Qiushui was heartbroken and broke off their relationship.
Some people also said that she was instructed by Guanyin to meditate in the temple so that Murong Tai could be promoted. For the man she loved, Li Qiushui finally chose to enter the temple, and Murong Tai was promoted step by step because of this.
There were also people who said that Li Qiushui was proud and arrogant. She injured her body when she gave birth to Murong Qiqi, so she could not give birth in the future. She could not accept this fact and could not accept that the son of a concubine would inherit Murong Mansion. That was why she broke up with them.
All in all, Murong Qiqi had heard of all sorts of rumors, but no one knew which were true and which were false apart from the person in front of her.
Murong Qiqi's directness caused Li Qiushui to panic. "I can't say. Qiqi, don't force me! "
Li Qiushui evaded Murong Qiqi's gaze. "All you need to know is that Murong Tai isn't your biological father!"
Li Qiushui's expression made Murong Qiqi very suspicious. Why did she see hatred in Li Qiushui's eyes?
Although it was a fleeting flash, she was still sensitive enough to capture that intense hatred. Who did she hate? Did he hate Murong Tai? Was that why he betrayed him? Since she hated Murong Tai, why did she insist on marrying him despite the difference in status? What secrets were hidden within?
"Qiqi, it's all my fault. I've neglected you and caused you to suffer a lot. I'm sorry!" Li Qiushui held Murong Qiqi's hand emotionally as tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. Her face was filled with regret and heartache for her daughter. "I'm sorry!"
Murong Qiqi was stunned by Li Qiushui's sudden action. Could it be that she really had her own difficulties?
Since that was the case, she would not pursue the matter any further. After all, who didn't have their own unspeakable secrets? What's more, it wasn't a glorious thing for Li Qiushui to have feelings for someone else behind her husband's back. If she and that person truly loved each other, what was wrong with that? Let's just turn the page.
Murong Qiqi didn't know what to do with a woman who was crying. Even though this person wasn't her birth mother, she was the one who had given her life. Even if she couldn't be as filial as a daughter to her mother, Murong Qiqi still knew how to comfort her.
"I'm not the only one who's sorry. Have you forgotten about Elder Sister in the palace? A few days ago, Elder Sister had a miscarriage and is in a bad mood. If Mother were to visit her, perhaps she would be in a better mood. "
"Her?"
In comparison, when Murong Xuelian was mentioned, Li Qiushui's voice was a lot more indifferent. It was not as intimate as before and was a lot more distant. There was even a tinge of shame in her voice.
What kind of complicated family was this!
Murong Qiqi finally realized this problem. She suddenly thought of Murong Xuelian's birth date from the information that Su Yue had found. She was born eight months after Li Qiushui and Murong Tai's wedding and Murong residence told the public that Madam had a miscarriage …
But looking at Li Qiushui's resentful expression, could it be that Murong Xuelian did not have a miscarriage and was born at full term? Could it be that Li Qiushui was pregnant with Murong Xuelian before the wedding? If that was the case, then Li Qiushui was married because she was pregnant. Could it be that Murong Tai forced Li Qiushui and she was forced to marry Murong Tai because she was pregnant?
No wonder there was no love in Li Qiushui's eyes when she mentioned Murong Tai and Murong Xuelian.
Even when Li Qiushui used 'husband' to call Murong Tai when she was doing her hair, there was no emotion in her voice. Murong Qiqi could hear this. No wonder it was like this …
After sorting out the relationship, Murong Qiqi sympathized with Li Qiushui. Although she was born into wealth, she was still a weak woman and could not control her own fate. Could it be that she, Murong Qiqi, was born from Li Qiushui's revenge on Murong Tai?
Thinking of this, Murong Qiqi suddenly felt that the original owner of this body was even more pitiful. Li Qiushui gave birth to her only as a tool to take revenge on Murong Tai … Could it be that this kind of complicated and extreme feeling was human nature?
"Qiqi, don't worry about your sister. She is an adult and knows how to take care of herself. You're married to North Zhou and the mountains there are far away and you're in a foreign country. Mother is most worried about you now! "
Li Qiushui held Murong Qiqi's hand, her words filled with concern.
"Does Feng Cang treat you well? Being a daughter-in-law can't be compared to being at home. Although he doesn't have parents and you don't have in-laws, he is a member of the royal family. The etiquette of the royal family is very complicated and there are many rules. The relationships in the royal family are also very complicated. You must be careful! "
At this moment, Li Qiushui was like an ordinary mother, carefully reminding her daughter about the ways of a wife. The night was quiet, and only Li Qiushui's gentle voice could be heard, reminding her again and again.
"The most important thing is to give birth to a child for him. We women have to rely on men for our entire lives. We follow our father at home, our husband when we get married, and our son when he dies. Father cannot accompany you until you grow old. If your husband has someone else, he will not be able to rely on you. The only person you can rely on is your son.
"After you marry over, you will be the consort. Giving birth to a son and inheriting the throne is the most important thing. This way, even if Feng Cang has someone else in the future and your son is the heir, no one will dare to look down on you. No one will dare to shake your position! "
