The Sun Clan had always been a proud daughter of heaven. When had she ever suffered such grievances? Being reprimanded by the old madam to her face really made her lose all her face.
Her face flushed red, and she quickly refuted, "Old madam, you can't say that. Why did you always say that Sister Hui was raised under your watch when Sister Hui performed well in the past? Previously, you said that in order to help your daughter-in-law, you personally taught Sister Hui. Why is it that now that Sister Hui's servant made a mistake, you instead questioned me first? I wasn't the only one who taught her to be like this. "
When the old madam heard this, she was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
At that time, she was really blinded by lard. How could she think that Sun Haihan, this stupid woman who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, was worthy of her outstanding eldest son!
"Sun Clan, is this the tone that a daughter-in-law should use to speak to a mother-in-law? What do you mean? As a mother-in-law, I helped you raise your daughter. Not only are you not grateful, but you blame me for not teaching her well? Am I her mother, or are you her mother? "
The old madam was furious. She pointed at the Sun Clan and said, "I originally thought that you were already more sensible when you took the initiative to come back this time. I didn't expect you to still be like this. You really are a rotten wood that can't be carved!"
The Sun Clan was scolded until tears welled up in her eyes. She straightened her neck and said, "Old madam, do you still love your sweetheart or not? Why are you implicating me again?"
"I'm a rotten wood that can't be carved now. But in the end, it wasn't my Sun Clan that tried to form a marriage alliance! Wasn't it your esteemed residence who found someone to make peace with our Duke's residence? Although I don't say how good I am these years, Qin Meng has a meteoric rise. I still have the luck to bring fortune to my husband. Why does old madam dislike me now! "
"You, you!" The old madam was livid by the Sun Clan's words. "If you were my daughter, I would have slapped you away!"
A mother-in-law could set rules for her daughter-in-law, but if she really hit her daughter-in-law, she would still be laughed at by the people in the noble circle. If this spread out, it would also give old madam the reputation of being an evil mother-in-law.
Therefore, even though there were times when old madam was willful, she had never touched her daughter-in-law.
It was just that the Sun Clan's words today had gone too far. Old Madam was already very angry because of the incident caused by Qin Huining. Now that she was angered by the Sun Clan, her vision turned black. She held her head and her body swayed. She almost fell down.
"Matriarch!"
Mammy Qin and Qin Yining hurriedly supported her.
"Are you alright? Go inside and have a rest. "
Qin Yining, on the other hand, secretly shook his head at the Sun Clan, indicating that she shouldn't say anything more, lest she get into trouble. He turned around and helped the old madam into the room with Mammy Qin.
The Sun Clan clenched her fists tightly and trembled with anger.
It wasn't that she didn't want to control her temper, but controlling her temper was too much for her. She had been raised by her grandmother since she was a child. Her parents were also very kind to her. When had she ever suffered like this? If it weren't for Qin Huaiyuan's face, she wouldn't be bothered to serve this kind of unruly and evil mother-in-law!
The Sun Clan really wanted to turn around and leave. But after thinking about it, they still had to care about old madam. Otherwise, they would be gossiped about. They could only follow behind the three people and enter the room.
Qin Yining and Mammy Qin had already helped old madam lie down and confirmed that old madam was fine.
Then, the two of them persuaded her in a low voice.
The Sun Clan stood to the side and quietly watched them help old madam take off her shoes and socks. They comforted her softly. Old madam closed her eyes and looked like she didn't want to say another word. The Sun Clan knew that it was useless to plead for leniency today.
She thought about it. In the end, she still felt that Qin Huining wasn't such a person. Perhaps someone was sowing discord behind Qin Huining's back.
The Sun Clan went to the warm room and found Mama Cai, who was by Qin Huining's side, to ask about the ins and outs of the matter.
Mama Cai was Mother Jin's niece, and Mother Jin was the Sun Clan's wet nurse. When the Sun Clan saw Mama Cai, they felt that she was one of them, so they spoke directly to her.
"Did Sister Hui instruct Bitong to frame Sister Yi's maidservant?"
"Madam, how can you think that way? You know how gentle and sensible Miss Huining is. She's living like she's walking on thin ice now. Last night, she almost hanged herself, but she didn't succeed. Instead, she was strangled by Fourth Miss. She said that she wanted to die but didn't dare to, so she could help us … "
At this point, Mama Cai's voice was full of tears. "Now, if Madam refuses to believe Miss Huining, then Miss Huining really won't be able to make a name for herself. Bitong is usually arrogant. Perhaps she has some crooked thoughts and deliberately framed Miss Huining!
As Mama Cai wiped her tears, she didn't forget to carefully observe the Sun Clan's expressions. When she saw that the Sun Clan most likely believed her, she secretly sighed in relief.
How could she admit that Qin Huining framed someone?
Because she was the one who came up with that idea for Qin Huining!
Now that Qin Huining was exposed, Mama Cai was afraid that people would find out that she was the one who instigated her master. She would definitely insist that Qin Huining was wrongly accused.
When the Sun Clan saw Mama Cai's determination, they firmly believed her. When she heard Mama Cai say that Qin Yining had once treated Qin Huining in such a way, she couldn't help but frown. However, her impression of Qin Yining had improved. She felt that this matter was most likely exaggerated, so she didn't ask any further.
"Since you say so, I'll believe Sister Hui. But who would deliberately frame Sister Hui? Also, how could Bitong and Xiao Ai be so coincidental that Master and the Crown Prince happened to pass by and say those words? No matter how I think about it, I feel that someone set that up. "
When Mama Cai saw that the Sun Clan believed her, she finally felt relieved. She pursed her lips and said, "Madam is a sensible person. There are some things that need this servant to say. It's obvious who framed Miss Huining. Now, the person who benefits the most is that person."
Who benefits the most?
The Sun Clan thought back to what happened today. Although she wasn't in the matriarch's room to serve her, she knew that Qin Yining had brought back two servant girls from Duke Ding's residence. Moreover, one of them was Ruilan, who had been suspected of theft.
Now, who benefits the most? It was obviously Qin Yining.
The Sun Clan's brows furrowed into a knot. She didn't want to believe that Qin Yining would harm Qin Huining. However, after hearing Mama Cai's words, her heart wavered.
Just as the Sun Clan's mind was about to turn into a pot of paste, Qin Yining brought people to the warm room.
"Madam is really here. I guessed that you were here." Behind Qin Yining were Bing Tang, Song Lan, Yao Qin, and Yu Qi.
The Sun Clan was very busy today. She only brought Cai Ju with her, and she wasn't by her side right now.
Thinking back to Qin Yining's appearance when he first returned to the residence, and then looking at her current situation, the Sun Clan couldn't help but think carefully.
Qin Yining's methods were so powerful. Did he have the heart to harm others?
"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me without saying anything? "Qin Yining had some guesses in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
The Sun Clan frowned and said, "Come with me."
As she spoke, she pulled Qin Yining's hand and quickly walked towards Xingning Garden.
At the same time, in the woodshed, Qin Huaiyuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Qin Huining, who was kneeling on the ground and crying. He said in a deep voice, "Say what you need to say. Don't drag it out. I don't have that much patience."
