During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"Auntie Ye." Qin Hexuan greeted her when he saw her.
Mrs. Ye quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Qin."
"Is Auntie Ye okay?" Qin Hexuan couldn't think of what Auntie Ye might want to talk to him about. His first reaction was to worry about whether something had happened to Qingtian. "Qingtian was pushed yesterday. Is he okay?"
"Ah? Someone pushed her? What happened? Why didn't the child tell her when she got home?" Mrs. Ye was anxious when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. "I went back to see her yesterday and she was very happy. She didn't say anything was wrong. When I got home, she was still playing with sandbags with her father!"
"It was just that the other kid was ignorant and wanted to bully Qingtian. When I rushed over, Qingtian seemed to have been pushed on the shoulder by her."
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Ye was relieved and said, "So that's how it is. When children play around, they don't know how to control their strength.
"But we country kids are tough, so a push isn't a big deal.
"But, could it be that the other party is some rich lady?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye felt worried again.
If the girl we offend is really a daughter from a wealthy family, and we are just ordinary country folk, we won’t be able to protect Qingtian!
"It's okay, it was their fault in the first place, I've already taken care of it.
"Qingtian did nothing wrong. She was the one being bullied. I hope Aunt Ye won't blame her."
"No, of course not." Mrs. Ye thought to herself, my daughter was bullied, I feel so sorry for her, how could I blame her.
But there is no need to say this to Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan saw that Sister Ye was not here for Qingtian's matter, so he finally couldn't help asking, "Sister Ye, what is it that you came to see me for?"
"Oh, yes, yes." Mrs. Ye finally remembered and took out the jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom, "I saw Qingtian wearing this around her neck last night. She said you gave it to her.
"We absolutely dare not accept such a valuable item!"
Qin Hexuan looked at the jade pendant on Mrs. Ye's handkerchief and frowned, "This is a gift I gave to Qingtian. Since I can give it, she can accept it. What's there to be afraid of?"
"This..." Mrs. Ye didn't know what to say after hearing what he said.
She thought to herself, you may agree, but Mrs. Qin may not agree!
What if Madam Qin finds out and blames me? What should I do?
But when Mrs. Ye saw Qin Hexuan's expression that said, "I have the final say," she didn't dare to say what she was thinking.
Children of this age have strong self-esteem, especially Qin Hexuan, who has a high status. If he is told that he cannot make the decision, he might be unhappy.
In fact, Qin Hexuan was already a little unhappy at this time.
Why should Mrs. Ye return the things he gave to Qingtian on behalf of Qingtian?
He felt uncomfortable and asked directly: "Don't you want Qingtian anymore?"
Mrs. Ye quickly said, "No, no, it's just that I feel..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Madam Qin coming out.
When Madam Qin saw Sister Ye, she immediately said, "I was just saying I wanted someone to look for you, but you came here on your own. Come in and talk!"
Mrs. Ye's heart skipped a beat, and she only thought that it must be Mrs. Qin who discovered that the jade pendant on Qin Hexuan was missing last night, so she wanted to settle the score with her today.
She quickly picked up the jade pendant and said, "Madam Qin, I returned the jade pendant to Young Master Qin. It's because Qingtian is young and doesn't know how valuable the jade pendant is, so..."
"What jade pendant?" Mrs. Qin chatted with Princess Rui a little late last night, and her son was already asleep when she came back.
Only Song Tao knew about the jade pendant, but Song Tao had just been beaten by Qin Hexuan last night and was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything to Mrs. Qin.
So Mrs. Qin had no idea about this at all, and only looked over after hearing what Mrs. Ye said.
At a glance, he saw the jade pendant that symbolized the identity of the young master of the Qin family.
Mrs. Qin was about to ask her son what was going on when she suddenly noticed Qin Hexuan's tightly pursed lips.
She recalled what Princess Rui had said last night, and the words on the tip of her tongue suddenly changed direction, and said to Sister Ye, "I didn't know what to do then. This jade pendant is indeed Hexuan's, but since he gave it to Qingtian, it belongs to Qingtian."
Qin Hexuan was already prepared to be scolded, but he never expected Mrs. Qin to say that.
He looked at Mrs. Qin in surprise, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
It was the first time that Mrs. Qin was looked at by her son with such an expression, and she was extremely happy.
Not to mention one jade pendant, even if it was ten jade pendants, as long as it could help the mother-son relationship, it would be fine to give them all to Qingtian.
Thinking of this, Madam Qin said to Sister Ye, "Put the jade pendant away quickly and give it to Qingtian when you get home.
"Jade nourishes people and wards off disasters. Wearing it is good for children."
When Mrs. Ye heard Mrs. Qin say the same thing, she was immediately confused.
Is it because I am too ignorant and this jade pendant is not actually valuable?
But no matter what, since Madam Qin had spoken, she felt relieved and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Madam Qin, thank you, Young Master Qin. I will put it on Qingtian when I get back."
"That's right!" Mrs. Qin said, "Come in first. I have something to tell you."
Mrs. Ye thought that the matter of the jade pendant had been discussed, so what else could there be?
After everyone went in and took their seats, Mrs. Qin explained her intentions.
"The prince's palace wants me to prepare a banquet?" Sister Ye was terrified and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I don't have the ability to do that..."
"If the princess thinks you have it, then you have it," Madam Qin said, "Didn't you do very well this time?"
