Chapter 378 When a secret is no longer a secret, there is no need to forbear

Although the Zhao family married the eldest daughter of the Qi family by accident, Zhao Huaijin would not have proposed to her if he had no interest in her.

Zhao Huaijin didn't think that he couldn't express his love for Qi Huan because he couldn't speak.

Although he learned that it was due to a misunderstanding and that the Qi family was forced to accept their daughter's marriage to him for the sake of face, he still cherished this misunderstanding very much.

Qi Huan could also feel Zhao Huaijin's meticulous care for her, but with Nanny Bao watching her at all times, she dared not say anything to him.

Unable to see what was happening to Qi Huan, Zhao Huaijin struggled to break free from Qi Mingjing's hand and rushed to the bedside and stood still.

Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan simply lifted the quilt at Qi Huan's feet. After Zhao Huaijin saw clearly, his body trembled slightly, and then his eyes instantly turned red.

Then she saw Zhao Huaijin gesturing to Qi Huan. Qi Huan looked at him steadily, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huaijin became anxious, opened his mouth, and made an "ah ah" sound from his throat, while his hands kept gesticulating.

Qi Huan lay on the bed and kept shaking his head, as if he didn't want to answer.

Ran Qingxuan looked at Madam Zhao, who suppressed her anger and explained, "Huai Jin asked her if she was bullied by this servant every time she said she felt uncomfortable..."

Qi Huan obviously didn't want to tell the truth to Zhao Huaijin. Ran Qingxuan knew the reason very well. It was simply because Nanny Bao was from the third room, and she knew the truth that the third room had poisoned Qi Mingjing.

The person she was going to marry was not Zhao Huaijin at all. The husband she had originally considered good was snatched away by Qi Ying, which proved that the third branch had plenty of means.

Besides, she now has a child, and the people from the third room asked Bao Ma to use the child as a threat. No matter what Bao Ma wanted to do to her, Qi Huan dared not resist.

Because once she resists, the next person to suffer will be her child or her husband's family.

Ran Qingxuan looked at Madam Bao with murderous intent in his eyes. When they came, there was not even a maid or servant in the courtyard, and even the servant who opened the door was indifferent. It was obvious that these people were not her dowry, but perhaps spies from the third room.

Thinking of this, Ran Qingxuan asked Qi Minghe, "How many maids and servants did your eldest sister bring to the Zhao family as a dowry? Are they life or death contracts, or are they brooding servants of your Qi family?"

Qi Minghe opened his mouth and a look of hesitation flashed across his face. He actually knew nothing about the question.

"Hey, to put it bluntly, this matter is your Qi family's family affair, and I, an outsider, should not interfere.

Sister Qi has been bullied and beaten by Nanny Bao over the years, and the Zhao family should be completely unaware of this. This shows that these things were done behind the scenes. If we hadn't caught her today, I'm afraid she would become more arrogant and wanton in the future. ”

Thinking that Ran Qingxuan was going to frame her on behalf of the Qi family, Nanny Bao's face was full of scorn.

"Who do you think you are? Even if you want to convict me, it's not your turn!"

"Heh...I'm much more capable than you!"

"you..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!" Qi Minghe was so angry that he kicked Nanny Bao until her mouth was full of blood.

Even though she was planted by the third house, Qi Minghe was openly her master, so she couldn't confront him directly. She could only cover her mouth and lower her head.

Mrs. Zhao turned the child around and covered his eyes to prevent him from seeing.

Ran Qingxuan looked at it calmly and suddenly spoke.

"Madam Bao, even if Wei Xue asked you to watch Sister Qi and stop her from talking nonsense, she didn't tell you that you can beat and scold her at will, right?"

Nanny Bao shuddered all over and opened her mouth to make excuses.

"Alright, stop looking at us like fools. It's because Sister Qi saw Qi Ying poisoning Qi Mingjing that year that you guys framed her!"

"Miss, what did you say?" Mrs. Zhao held the child in her arms with a look of shock on her face. Zhao Huaijin also widened his eyes and looked at Qi Huan helplessly.

Qi Minghe was a little surprised why Ran Qingxuan said it in front of the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that Qi Huan, who was lying on the bed, spoke up.

"My brother shouldn't have told you the truth. If the doctor tells you this now, won't it bring danger to the Zhao family?"

Ran Qingxuan immediately understood that Qi Huan still had feelings for the Zhao family. If Qi Huan remained indifferent after she told him the truth, it would mean that the Zhao family had nothing to do with her.

Since she is worried, it proves that she cares about the lives of the Zhao family.

"Sister Qi, the lives of the Zhao family are lives, so your life is not a life?"

Qi Huan slowly stood up, and Zhao Huaijin immediately went forward to help her lean against the head of the bed.

Ran Qingxuan stood up and made way for the Zhao family and continued.

"In order to prevent you from telling the truth, Wei Xue ordered Aunt Bao to torture you for a long time." As he said this, he looked at the child in Madam Zhao's arms.

“And you chose to endure it all the time for the sake of your children, and you didn’t tell anyone even when you suffered such a great injustice.

But have you ever thought about what will happen to your children and your loved ones who care about you and love you when you are tortured to death?

When a secret is no longer a secret, there is no need to endure it, otherwise you and the people you care about will be hurt! ”

Qi Huan was already in tears, and Zhao Huaijin kept gesturing to her with moist eyes, and even took her hand and placed it on his heart in front of everyone.

Mrs. Zhao explained to Ran Qingxuan with tears in her eyes: "Huai Jin said it was all his fault for not discovering the clues early and letting her suffer such pain alone. Now he doesn't care what the truth is, even if it means he will die immediately..."

Qi Minghe felt mixed emotions as he could see that the Zhao family was unaware of Qi Huan being tortured by Nanny Bao.

Besides, the Zhao family genuinely felt sorry for Qi Huan's situation, and it would be inappropriate for him to ask them to divorce.

Zhao Huaijin gestured gently to Qi Huan for a while. Qi Huan's eyes flashed with determination, and he mustered up the courage to nod heavily.

The sleeves of her outer robe were lifted up, revealing the new and old wounds on her arms. Although there were not many, for a woman, any scar on any part of her body would affect her image in her husband's mind.

This was the sadness of being a woman in ancient times. Qi Huan could expose herself in public and she didn't care at all.

Qi Minghe turned his face away, anger flashing in his eyes.

"They thought that I was forced to marry Huai Jin and would definitely not get close to the Zhao family. Aunt Bao didn't show any signs in the first two years until I gave birth to my birthday celebration. She was afraid that I would reveal something to Huai Jin, so whenever we were alone, she would find an opportunity to force me to tell the truth.

When Qingsheng was older, she punished him in front of the children and even threatened to hit him if I resisted...”

Ran Qingxuan felt sad for Qi Huan's experience and felt deeply helpless because of her weakness.

When Qi Huan showed up with tears in her eyes and turned her back to them with the wound on her shoulder exposed, Zhao Huaijin, who could no longer contain his anger, rushed towards Aunt Bao like a madman.

Madam Zhao's eyes were filled with heartache. After handing the child over to her personal maid to take him out, she stepped forward to help Qi Huan put on his clothes tightly and angrily said to Madam Bao, "How could you be so vicious, you damned bastard!"
