The Sun Clan hugged Qin Huining. Her precious daughter for fourteen years was crying her heart out. She also felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart. Qin Huining was right. This matter had nothing to do with her. The one who was wrong was the person who swapped her child!
The Sun Clan couldn't control herself. She immediately hugged Qin Huining and cried bitterly.
Qin Yining slowly lowered her raised arms. Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the yellow collar of her dress. The corners of her mouth trembled and curved.
It turned out that this was her mother's attitude towards her.
Qin Huining saw that the Sun Clan was sobbing uncontrollably. She held back her tears and took a handkerchief to wipe the Sun Clan's tears. She pretended to be strong and said, "Mother, don't be sad. Now that Xiaoxi meimei can return to your side, this is a good thing. I will never forget your kindness in raising me and old madam's kindness in cherishing me. Even if I leave Prime Minister's fu in the future, I will still be your daughter. Don't cry. Father and old madam will feel distressed for no reason. "
The weak young girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She didn't forget to comfort her emotional mother. This made old madam feel that she was sensible and sensible. She immediately felt reluctant to part with her. However, the sympathy and pity she had for the wild girl just now was diluted.
The Sun Clan also felt the same. Her tears fell even more fiercely. She cried loudly, "What sin have I committed! Why did this matter fall on our family's head! "
Second Madam and Third Madam both came to comfort and persuade her.
The Sun Clan cried like a child who had been wronged.
Qin Huining promptly coaxed her, "Don't cry. If you miss me in the future, I can come back to see you. Xiaoxi meimei is your biological daughter. She will definitely take care of you on my behalf. Look at Xiaoxi meimei. She looks exactly like father. She must be father's flesh and blood. There's no mistake. Now that our family can be reunited, this is a blessing from the heavens. Mother, your good days are still ahead. Don't be sad. "
Her words were extremely filial, but also extremely provocative.
Because no one said that they would send her away, but she deliberately mentioned it several times. It was clear that she was worried and guilty.
The Third Miss Qin Jianing and the Sixth Miss Qin Shuangning looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Seventh Miss Qin An curled her lips and sneered.
The members of the Sun Clan lowered their eyes and pondered over Qin Huining's words. Suddenly, they seemed to have thought of something.
Qin Yining's hands, which were hanging by his side, slowly clenched into fists. He looked at the mother and daughter with an indecipherable expression. Finally, his gaze landed on Qin Huining, who was putting on a good show.
The members of the Sun Clan seemed to sense something. They looked up and met Qin Yining's gaze.
Sister Hui was right. This girl was indeed very similar to her father. Her beautiful eyes and delicate face reminded her of the young Qin Huaiyuan.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that Qin Yining did not resemble him at all!
When she was young, she was beautiful and dignified, but this girl was bright and charming. Every woman who saw her would find her attractive. How was this like her? How could she be sure that she was her biological daughter? Looking at Qin Huining again … Her Sister Hui had some of the elegant character she had when she was young.
It was said that Qin Huaiyuan's trusted aide met this girl in Liang City. When he saw that she was shockingly similar to Qin Huaiyuan when he was young, he couldn't help but become suspicious. Later, he went to investigate and brought her back after several twists and turns.
But this was only Qin Huaiyuan's side of the story!
The members of the Sun Clan frowned and looked at their silent husband.
Could it be that Qin Huaiyuan had a mistress who gave birth to this girl?
After all, this girl was about the same age as Sister Hui. Qin Huaiyuan had always been a person who cherished his reputation. Could it be that he had taken advantage of her pregnancy to have a bastard child? Now that he wanted to bring her back, he made up such a story to win sympathy?
That's right. Even though Qin Yining looked thin and malnourished, her aura was very calm. Although she was shy when meeting strangers, she didn't have a timid aura. How could a "savage" who grew up in the mountains have this kind of aura?
Maybe Qin Huaiyuan said that on purpose to trick people into sympathizing with him!
Qin Huaiyuan was in a high position, but he had few children. He only had one daughter. There were countless women who wanted to give birth to Qin Huaiyuan's children. The Sun Clan didn't feel safe being the wife of the Prime Minister. Moreover, from the bottom of her heart, she was unwilling to accept the fact that the daughter she had raised for more than ten years wasn't her biological daughter. Now that she thought of this, she suddenly felt that she had grasped the crux of the problem. When she looked at Qin Yining again, there was a trace of suspicion in her eyes.
Qin Huining had been nervously observing her mother. The Sun Clan's obvious suspicion of Qin Yining calmed her down a little.
However, Qin Yining's heart gradually turned cold.
When she was young, before the flames of war reached Liang City, her adoptive mother once took her to a fortune-teller. The fortune-teller said that she had the fate of "sisters have no one to rely on, six relatives of ice and charcoal". Now, it seemed that the saying "six relatives of ice and charcoal" was indeed true.
Her biological mother's suspicious gaze was even more unbearable than when she was stared at by wild wolves in the mountains. A chill crept up from the soles of her feet, causing her entire body to turn cold.
She was greedy and shouldn't have asked for too much.
Qin Yining closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there was an unyielding light in her eyes.
Her unyielding spirit was polished by many years of survival experience. The more adversity she faced, the more tenacious and unyielding she had to be. This was because she had encountered many dangers while growing up. If she had slacked off even once, she probably wouldn't have lived to this day. Her tenacity had been honed by survival, so she would never lower her head in the face of difficulties.
Although this home was cold and indifferent, it was still easier than living deep in the mountains. Moreover, it wasn't like she couldn't slowly change these people's opinions. There was no reason for them to like her at first sight, right?
Qin Yining slowly relaxed her tightly clenched fists and regained her composure.
Qin Yining had been secretly observing Qin Yining, but he was dazzled by the light in her eyes. He originally thought that she was a country bumpkin and would retreat after a scare. Now, it seemed that he had underestimated her.
The Sun Clan member walked towards Qin Yining and asked, "Do you live in Liang City?"
Was he going to interrogate her again?
"Yes, I lived in Liang City for as long as I could remember. My adoptive mother, Madam Liu, was a widow. When I could remember, she told me my background and raised me until she passed away due to illness when I was eight years old."
"From the way you speak, you seem to be literate?" The Sun Clan member was suspicious.
"My adoptive mother was once a maidservant of a wealthy family. Her late husband was a scholar. She was also somewhat literate. When I was young, she enlightened me and taught me a few things. However, later on, life became difficult and we were robbed by bandits several times. Most of the books in our home were lost. My adoptive mother was busy with the household and rarely taught me. "
There was no loophole in this story.
The Sun Clan member twirled her handkerchief around Qin Yining and looked her up and down.
At this moment, everyone in the room could see that the Sun Clan was suspicious of Qin Yining. Some didn't understand and some didn't look at her with disdain. All kinds of gazes fell on Qin Yining and the Sun Clan.
If she was an ordinary girl who hadn't seen the world, she would have been frightened by this scene. However, Qin Yining was very calm and allowed everyone to size her up.
After a while, the Sun Clan member said, "When is your birthday?"
"I only know that I was born in the sixteenth of the sixth month. My adoptive mother picked me up early in the morning on the sixth day of the sixth month. She said that I was by a small stream behind Sicui Mountain in the southern part of the capital."
"So you're saying that you lived in the capital for a while when you were young?"
"Perhaps, but as far as I can remember, I was in Liang City. Mother, you …"
"Don't call me mother!"
The Sun Clan member suddenly raised her voice and gave everyone a fright.
Perhaps the Sun Clan member realized that her attitude was too much, so she stiffly said, "In a large family like ours, we don't call people mother. Those who have a title need to be called madam. Those who don't have a title need to be called madam. Only those from small families need to be called father and mother."
Qin Yining blinked her long eyelashes. In the end, she didn't mention that Qin Huining had called her 'mother'. She obediently called her 'madam'.
The dowager madam coughed, "Since you've confirmed that she's Meng Ge 'er's daughter, then she can stay. But let me say something first. My Sister Hui will never leave my side! "Qin Huaiyuan's courtesy name was' Meng ', and his middle name was Meng Ge' er.
The dowager madam thought for a moment and said, "After all, this girl grew up in the countryside. I'm afraid that she won't know the rules if she rashly returns to the Prime Minister's fu. In two days, Sister Jia will be of marriageable age. At that time, there will be many guests and friends. It won't be good if she loses face. It's better to send her to the fields first and hire a mama who knows the rules to properly educate her. Then, we can pick a day to bring her back. "
When everyone heard this, they looked at the dowager madam in astonishment. They didn't expect that she would be so biased towards Qin Huining.
If they really sent her to the fields, it would be hard to say what day they would bring her back. If the dowager madam wasn't happy, she could casually invite a fortune-teller to perform divination and find an excuse to delay.
When the Sun Clan heard this, they were somewhat hesitant.
Although she didn't care about this wild girl and suspected that she was raised by an outsider, she was still Qin Huaiyuan's blood. It was also possible that she had given birth to her …
After muttering to herself for a moment, the Sun Clan said, "Laoye has few children. For so many years, he only has one daughter. Even if both girls stay, our eldest branch only has two daughters. Dowager madam, this daughter-in-law has a presumptuous request. Although Sister Yi has been found, Sister Hui has fate with our family. In the future, she will still be my eldest legitimate daughter. Sister Yi will be counted as my youngest daughter. She will enter the register and be counted as the second legitimate daughter. Is that okay? "
The Sun Clan's plan was exactly what the dowager madam wanted. "It's best that you think this way."
The Sun Clan said, "As for the rules that the dowager madam mentioned, we can invite an old mama from the palace to teach them. It's also good for her to go to the farmstead. This way, this will give this daughter-in-law, Sister Hui, and all the other sisters in the family some buffer time."
The Sun Clan obeyed the dowager madam and planned to send their daughter away.
Qin Huining heaved a sigh of relief quietly. Her hanging heart was finally relieved.
Qin Yining bit her lip and looked at Qin Huaiyuan for help. She didn't do anything wrong, so why did she have to be sent away? Could it be that she wasn't the daughter of a Qin family?!
Her eyes were helpless and soft, which made Qin Huaiyuan's heart skip a beat.
"Sister Yi can stay in the fu. The tutor and the old mama who teaches the rules can be invited to the fu to teach her." Qin Huaiyuan finally spoke, "A legitimate daughter is a legitimate daughter, and an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter. Could it be that because she wasn't raised by your side, Sister Yi isn't a legitimate daughter?"
Qin Huining's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
