"If you can't raise a son, at least you had a daughter before. If your daughter isn't even yours, you have to think about it yourself! 'There are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is to have no descendants'. You broke off Qin Meng's descendants, so you committed the 'seven ways'. Even if Qin Meng divorced you, your father and I would have nothing to say! "
Sun Clan was stunned by Duchess Ding's words. After a while, she screamed sharply, "He won't. He won't dare to divorce me!"
"He won't dare?" Duchess Ding sneered. Looking at her daughter's stupid look, she was so angry that her head hurt, "What kind of person is Qin Meng? That was an extremely talented and decisive person. At a young age, he was able to use tricks to get rid of the original Beiji Protector General. Later, he had a meteoric rise in his official career. Have you ever seen anyone in our Dayan Dynasty who entered the Cabinet at such a young age? "
Hearing this, Sun Clan shook her head blankly. In her memory, there was indeed no man who had a smoother official career than Qin Huaiyuan.
However, Sun Clan was still unconvinced, "That's also thanks to my father's promotion …"
"Idiot!" Duchess Ding pushed her daughter's forehead hard, and Sun Clan fell to the ground.
"Our family and Family Qin are in-laws, so it's natural for us to mutually benefit and complement each other. If you always talk to the son-in-law in such a superior tone, not to mention the son-in-law, even I will be annoyed to hear it. The son-in-law is an upright person. Is it worthwhile for him to not even dare to bring back a mistress? "
Sun Clan's lips trembled. Thinking of all kinds of things after seeing Qin Yining today, she murmured, "Is Sister Yi really my child? Was Sister Hui really exchanged? "
Duchess Ding, who was originally in a rage, saw her daughter's sad appearance, and her heart softened. Her tone was much softer than before.
"Since Young Master has said so, then the matter should be eighty to ninety percent accurate. Moreover, no matter who gave birth to the child, you have to acknowledge it, and you have to acknowledge it with joy. If you don't acknowledge her, you will become a sinful woman who has no children. If you acknowledge her, you will have another daughter and another layer of support. Do you need me to teach you such a simple truth? "
Sun Clan's daughter's tears fell like beads again. She stammered, "I've raised Sister Hui for so many years. How could she become a fake? It's all Qin Meng's fault! If it wasn't for the fact that he had offended someone outside, how could the child have been swapped when he was still an infant? "
"When you married Qin Meng and were popular, why didn't you thank him? Shouldn't husband and wife share weal and woe together? "Duchess Ding's mood, which had just eased a little, was wiped out by Madam Sun's ungrateful attitude.
Madam Sun was taken aback. Then, she put on a strong front and said, "Anyway, he's in the wrong!"
"Is it because in your heart, everyone can't stand you? . You don't have to tell me this. Just tell me, what are you going to do next? "Duchess Ding rubbed her eyebrows helplessly.
Sun Clan's daughter thought for a moment and said, "Mother, why don't we secretly take some of that girl's blood and don't let anyone know that I once did a blood test with her? You see …"
"At this time, we don't even need to test! Didn't I just say it? I've said so much. Was it all in vain? "Duchess Ding shrieked.
Sun Clan's daughter was so frightened by her mother's rage that she shivered and lowered her head.
"You should know the situation in Dayan now. Your father, brother, and I have analyzed it more than once. Da Zhou is getting more and more prosperous. Emperor Zhou is cunning, and Pang Zhixi is tyrannical and unrestrained. Our Dayan is declining day by day. I'm afraid that we won't have a good future. At this time, it's time for our Duke Ding's Mansion to cooperate with the Family Qin. Our family and the Family Qin can't have the slightest hostility."
When it came to the serious national situation, even the Sun Clan's face became solemn.
The Tiger Army led by Little Wang Ye was like a sharp blade that was inserted into people's stomachs and was still stirring. They were stirring so much pain that they wished they were dead. It was as if every breath was waiting for the sentence of death.
Sun Clan's daughter felt that her hands and feet were cold.
Compared with the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, she didn't feel that the sky was falling down when the child was swapped and found.
Seeing that her daughter had finally calmed down a little, Duchess Ding also felt a lot better. She said in a slightly relaxed tone, "You should believe in Qin Meng's character. Maybe he will use tricks for other things, but when it comes to his own children and the bloodline of his Family Qin, he will not allow things to be mixed up. You really shouldn't have questioned him today. "
Sun Clan's daughter thought of Qin Huaiyuan's flushed face and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Duchess Ding said again, "Sister Han, think about it carefully. Now that you have found your biological daughter, you have a Sister Hui who has been raised for 14 years. If you have a daughter out of thin air, it's equivalent to having a good son-in-law in the future. Isn't it one more thing to rely on? For such a good thing, do you think it's better to have one or two? "
Sun Clan's daughter thought for a while and finally nodded obediently.
Duchess Ding breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was finally no longer stubborn.
In the face of her daughter, who was nearly forty years old, she had to break down the truth. It was more tiring than taking care of her granddaughter. She could help the Sun Clan plan, but she couldn't accompany her for the rest of her life! Sun Clan's daughter was so old, but she was still so ignorant. What would she do in the future?
Mama Bao understood Duchess Ding's wife's melancholy. Seeing that the matter had been discussed, she came forward and said with a smile, "My dear aunt, you must be tired today. I have already asked someone to prepare the courtyard where you used to live. You should wash up and rest first. How about we talk about the rest tomorrow? "
Mama Bao was Duchess Ding's dowry. She had a high status among the servants in Duke Ding's Mansion. Even the Sun Clan had to be polite to her.
When Madam Sun heard this, she smiled gratefully at Mama Bao. Then, she looked at her mother, whose expression had turned ugly because of her anger. Madam Sun said shyly, "Mother, don't be angry. Your daughter will listen to everything you say."
Duchess Ding shook her head helplessly and ordered Mama Bao, "Ask someone to send the ointment to Sister Han later." Then she said to Sun Clan, "You should also think of an excuse carefully. Go back to your house tomorrow and explain it to your mother-in-law."
"What's there to think about? I will say that Qin Meng bullied me. "Sun Clan's daughter snorted.
Duchess Ding had the urge to hold her forehead again, "How can you say that in front of your mother-in-law? If I were your mother-in-law, I would make you cry! You can say that I was not feeling well and rushed back to take care of the sick without telling my mother-in-law. I came here at night. "
Sun Clan's daughter said unhappily, "How can I do that? Mother, you are not sick. How can you talk nonsense like that? Besides, the matter of me coming out is big. The second branch and the third branch should know by now. They will know that I am looking for an excuse if I say that. "
This stupid girl let the matter spread out!
Duchess Ding felt that if she talked to Sun Clan again, her life would be shortened by at least ten years. Fortunately, she waved her hand and shooed her away like a fly.
"Go and rest. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
Sun Clan's daughter saw that Duchess Ding was really annoyed, so she didn't dare to continue to pester her and obediently left.
Mama Bao instructed Mother Jin and Cai Lan to serve her carefully and watched her leave before returning to the house. Seeing Duchess Ding's tired look, she smiled and advised, "Madam, don't take it to heart. I've made a lot more progress than before. It's just that this matter involves children. Don't women care about their children the most? It's pardonable for me to do this."
As parents, they naturally favored their children. Even if Duchess Ding felt that Sun Clan's daughter was really reckless and brainless, she felt warm in her heart when she heard Mama Bao's words.
"Sister Han is true to her nature. She has been like this since she was young. I just don't know if the Family Qin people will think so."
"Speaking of this, Madam, you don't have to worry about it."
Mama Bao smiled and handed the exquisite white porcelain teacup to Duchess Ding. "Look, our grandaunt has been married for so many years, but she is still so honest. It's enough to see that the son-in-law has protected her very well. Even the Old Madam of the Family Qin is tolerant and gentle to her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, with grandaunt's intelligence, if there were really so many fights in the harem to train her, wouldn't she have become a master long ago? It seems that naivety has its advantages. At least it shows that grandaunt hasn't suffered much. "
Mama Bao was indeed the most capable person around Duchess Ding. After hearing her words, Duchess Ding felt as comfortable as if she had eaten a ginseng fruit, and the anger she had just felt dissipated.
Duchess Ding thought carefully and said, "I still need you to go with her tomorrow. Sister Han is wrong. Our family is not a family without rules. We can't not express our position completely. We also need to let the Family Qin people see our sincerity. You go and explain it to Madam carefully and take a look at the two children by the way."
Mama Bao nodded cautiously. "I understand."
"Also, tomorrow you go and find out what happened in the Prime Minister's Manor after Sister Yi came back. Pay attention to the reactions of Sister Hui and Sister Yi. Come back to me tomorrow when you have a clear discussion. I can also think of a way for Sister Han. "
"Yes." Mama Bao's expression turned cold, and she knew what to do.
**
Qin Yining was used to getting up early. She got up before dawn. After washing and changing clothes, she tucked her skirt into a towel and ran around the yard.
Last night, Yu Xiang was punished to boil water. She didn't sleep until midnight. Ruilan endured the pain and served Qin Yining until midnight. They thought that the girl would be sleepy and couldn't get up today. Who would have thought that as soon as they got up, they saw the girl running around in the yard?
How could a girl from a noble family get up in the morning like this?!
Ruilan didn't dare to delay. She hurriedly wiped her face, put on her clothes, and came out. She saw Qiu Lu holding a honey-colored cloak and waiting in the corridor. She smiled and asked in a low voice, "When did the girl get up?"
"I've been running for about two hours."
Two hours?
Ruilan carefully looked at Qin Yining. She found that her face was only slightly red, and even her breathing didn't change. She couldn't help but be shocked.
This girl's physical strength was completely different from that of ordinary girls from noble families!
After Qin Yining's exercise, her body was finally relaxed and tired. Seeing that it was about time, she asked Ruilan and Qiu Lu to help her dress up. "Later, I will go to Ci Xiao Garden to pay my respects to old madam."
Ruilan and Qiu Lu looked at each other and were a little nervous.
