"Mother," Qin Huaiyuan said with displeasure in a deep voice, "Sister Yi is my only daughter and your granddaughter! She has been kidnapped and we don't know if she is alive or dead. Instead of worrying about her situation, why are you thinking about arranging people to be by her husband's side? Is this what a grandmother should do? "
Qin Huaiyuan was thinking about his daughter's life and death. Also, he didn't know if Your Majesty would be able to come back to her senses after getting away with it this time. He was even more worried that the location where he hid his in-law's family of three would be discovered.
These things had already made his mind chaotic. In addition, although the Tatan had temporarily suspended the war due to the loss of provisions, who could be sure that the Tatan didn't have provisions to support the war?
What if Si Qin had the same idea as him and sent people off on horseback without bringing too many supplies? They would attack wherever there was provisions and charge all the way into Da Zhou to plunder. At that time, wouldn't the people at the border suffer unspeakably?
Qin Huaiyuan was already mentally and physically exhausted from thinking about these things. Yet, old madam brought up this matter again after experiencing a battle of wits.
No matter how patient he was, his patience had been completely worn away by her selfish words just now.
Old madam was stunned by her son's reprimand. She said in disbelief, "Meng Ge 'er, what do you mean? How am I not doing this for Grandmother? Am I not doing this for our entire Family Qin?
"Sister Yi is my granddaughter, but I don't only have one granddaughter. Moreover, she isn't the most filial to me. Shouldn't I be planning for the future of other girls with Family Qin families?
"Moreover, the marriage between the two families is an alliance. Since one granddaughter can't solidify the position of wangfei, isn't it time to send another one over? What are you feeling so awkward about? "
Qin Huaiyuan's face sank as he listened. The imposing manner that he had cultivated in the court for many years was completely released when he suppressed his anger.
Although old madam spoke confidently, she still felt a bit scared when she met Qin Huaiyuan's cold eyes.
However, she didn't feel that she was wrong. She only felt that her son was definitely siding with an outsider. Now that he had a wife and daughter, he didn't want his mother anymore!
Old madam felt so wronged that her tears fell down. She sobbed and patted the pillow on her knees: "Why is my life so bitter! How did your father teach you? I think you've forgotten! You refuted my words time and time again. You think that your wings have hardened and that you are the head of the family, so you are no longer filial to your mother! "
Usually, when old madam cried at this time, Qin Huaiyuan would comfort her gently and say some nice words to coax her.
But today, Qin Huaiyuan just stood there silently, looking at her with a distant and unfamiliar gaze.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan wasn't coaxing her as she had expected, the Dowager Duchess felt even more wronged and burst into tears.
"What a sin! I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore! Oh, my heart, my heart, it's all in vain! How much do you all dislike me! "
As she cried, she beat her chest and stamped her feet. She covered her face with a handkerchief. Half of the jade hairpin on her head slipped off, and the bun she wore loosened. Her white hair was scattered, as if she had been bullied.
As if she had been abused.
Second Old Master, Second Old Madam, and Third Old Master all silently watched old madam make a fuss.
Originally, Second Old Madam wanted to go forward and comfort her. There were already a lot of things happening at home. She cried and made a fuss. Where was the appearance of an old woman?
However, Second Old Master secretly pulled Second Old Madam and didn't allow her to approach.
Third Old Master couldn't bear to see his di mother like this. He sneered, turned around, and left first. Out of sight, out of mind.
There was only Mammy Qin standing awkwardly beside old madam. She didn't know whether to comfort her or leave.
There was silence in the room. Old madam's throat was hoarse from crying, but she didn't see anyone come to comfort her. Qin Huaiyuan also didn't come to apologize. Her anger became more and more intense.
She beat her chest and pointed at the Sun Clan, who had been silent beside Qin Huaiyuan, and scolded, "It's you, this b * tch! You urged my Meng Ge 'er to learn bad things. Tell me, what pillow talk did you have?! "
Qin Huaiyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Sun Clan couldn't bear it anymore and finally mocked, "It's really funny! I urged your son to learn bad things? Why don't you take a look at whether your son is a three-year-old child or not?! Would he listen to me if I pillow talk? I also want to tell him to drive out those people who are disturbing the peace of the family. Would he listen?! "
"You!" Old madam's eyes widened in anger. She knew that the Sun Clan was scolding her indirectly.
The Sun Clan's expression was still as stubborn as before. The words seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of her teeth.
"I've really had enough! Old madam is obviously the mistress of the family. You should think of ways to maintain the harmony between your children! But why are you the one who instigates trouble every time?!
"What's wrong with Sister Yi? Why do you have to harm her like this?!
"You urged Eighth Girl first and made her fall in love with the son-in-law. Didn't you think that if this matter of becoming a concubine didn't work out, would the sisterly relationship between Eighth Girl and Sister Yi be good? Did you think about how your daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law would get along?
"You're dissatisfied? You feel that your son isn't filial? But let me tell you, this residence, not to mention other people, even us husband and wife, as the biological parents, feel ashamed to live in it! This residence was bought with Sister Yi's money!
"You lost all your belongings on the way here! If Sister Yi hadn't used her own money to buy this residence first and was afraid that us husband and wife would lose face between brothers, she quietly transferred the property rights to us. Our whole family would still be renting a residence now!
"You don't have to work and eat Sister Yi all day long. Our Sister Yi didn't want your gratitude and only wanted to show her filial piety. But you? She was kidnapped and we don't even know if she's dead or alive. You actually stabbed her in the back! I think you don't care about your granddaughter's life at all!
"You're a grandmother! Do you still have a human heart?! "
"You're presumptuous!" Old madam angrily beat the mattress, "Brother Meng, if you were raised by me, divorce her for me! Divorce her! "
"Divorce me? I can't wait! I've seen through it! When my father and brother were still alive and our Ding General Manor was flourishing, who was the one who rushed to propose marriage? I wasn't the one who rushed to marry into a Family Qin family!
"I managed to conceive for ten months and gave birth to Sister Yi. Why did I lose her? We were separated for fourteen years. Who will make up for this hardship?
"You despised me for not being able to give birth to a son for your son. You despised my maternal family for losing power. When my maternal family was being persecuted, you shamelessly welcomed the Demon Empress' sister into the family to be a concubine!
"After suffering a natural disaster, the whole family tightened their belts. Sister Yi was so hungry that she went to work and hunt. The food she saved was eaten by you. You didn't know how to feel sorry for her. You smacked your lips and turned around to eat the little rabbit she raised! You even dared to eat such a palm-sized little bastard! Do you still have any shame?!
"You enjoy the happiness of family but don't know how to cherish it. Instead, you instigate the relationship between your children! If I don't say it, you'll treat me as a mute? Divorce me, that's even better! My mother has already become rich in the south. I'm not homeless and have nowhere to go! I'm going to go out and talk about how you, as a mother-in-law, treat your children! "
The Sun Clan cursed angrily and spat fiercely. She turned around and left.
Qin Huaiyuan's brows were already knitted into knots. He turned around and pulled the Sun Clan. "Don't go. It's dangerous outside now. A war is about to break out …"
"Let go of me!"
The Sun Clan shook off Qin Huaiyuan's hand. Tears streamed down her face. "Qin Meng, I've been with you for most of my life. I've endured and experienced all the grievances, vexations, and dangers with you. I've endured what I should endure and what I shouldn't. Even when your mother despised me for not being able to give birth to a son, I raised your children one by one. I might be jealous, but it was because I cared about our many years of relationship. But when did I not take in concubines for you?
"Your mother is a mother. She loves her children and grandchildren, but I'm also a mother! I only have one daughter, Sister Yi. I was foolish in the past and did not treat her well. When Sister Yi went missing, it was as if someone dug out my heart and put it on the fire to roast! Your mother wanted to ruin my daughter's marriage for another granddaughter! She wanted to bully my daughter, and you want me to endure it?
"If you're a man, divorce me now! If it's inconvenient for you to leave the capital, I'll go! I'll go to Tatan to find my daughter! "
The Sun Clan's voice was trembling in the end. She was sobbing uncontrollably.
Qin Huaiyuan's eyes were also red. He ignored the Sun Clan's fierce struggle and slowly raised his arms to embrace the Sun Clan.
"Alright, I didn't do well enough. We're not young anymore. Be careful not to hurt your body from crying. It's not worth it. We still have to live to see Sister Yi give birth to children in the future, right?"
It would have been fine if no one coaxed her, but at this time, leaning into Qin Huaiyuan's arms and breathing in the faint scent of ink on his body, the Sun Clan grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's lapels and finally burst into tears. She cried and pounded his chest.
"It's all your fault! What kind of official are you? You work hard for the Family, but why do you have to sacrifice my daughter? My daughter is not even seventeen yet. She's still so young! "
The Sun Clan's long-suppressed worries, grievances, and dissatisfaction were vented out this time. She buried her head in Qin Huaiyuan's chest and cried until the sky turned dark.
Qin Huaiyuan rested his chin on the top of the Sun Clan's head and allowed her to cry until his lapels were wet. His eyes also gradually turned red.
Seeing the husband and wife like this, Second Furen also sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of that catastrophe. Her family members and servants died or were lost.
Old madam was dumbfounded. The Sun Clan had been married for so many years, but she had never seen her make such a scene. She actually dared to cry in front of her son's chest!
She cried just now, but her eldest son didn't come to coax her!
Old madam pouted and sobbed again. She muttered, "Sinful, unfilial son, unfilial son …"
Second Old Master rubbed his temples. Seeing that his eldest brother ignored his mother, he could only brace himself. He sat on the edge of the bed and handed a handkerchief to old madam.
