"Qingtian has suffered a lot in the past. The reason she has grown up to be what she is now is all due to her own kind nature, not anyone else's credit."
Mrs. Qin didn't expect that her casual compliment would lead her son to talk so much.
These words seem to be talking about Qingtian, but in fact, how can they not be talking about himself!
Children are actually very smart. They can keenly perceive the character of their caregivers and then test their bottom line step by step.
Only children who know that they are loved unconditionally do not need to worry about anything else and just make themselves happy.
Mrs. Qin just felt sad.
But how could the nine-year gap between mother and son be filled by just a few words or a few sets of clothes?
Madam Qin recalled the news that Nanny Jiang had heard from Mu Zheng.
I feel like I can understand more and more why my son likes and dotes on Qingtian so much.
He must have wished that there was someone who could do these things for little Hexuan, who was placed by his parents in his maternal grandparents' home where no one loved him and who suffered many grievances?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin suddenly found it difficult to open her mouth to talk about the second topic she had prepared.
But there were some things that Princess Rui had specifically instructed her to say, and she had to say them.
Qin Hexuan saw that Madam Qin's face first showed understanding, then a hint of distress and hesitation, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mother, is there anything else you want to tell your son?"
“It’s not a big deal, but since you’ve just returned to the capital, everyone’s eyes are on you!
"You brought Qingtian out in such a grand manner, which made many people curious about Qingtian's identity.
"Even though Qingtian is young and it's not a problem, you're ten years old after all, so you still have to avoid suspicion..."
Mrs. Qin had great difficulty saying these words, and she felt like a vicious stepmother who specifically poured cold water on her son.
Sure enough, after she said this, Qin Hexuan's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy, even uglier than when he talked about Qin Hedong before.
"It's not that mother doesn't like you playing with Qingtian, but there are already many messy rumors in the capital, and they have even reached your aunt's ears.
"Just for the sake of sunny weather, we should be a little more careful, don't you think?"
After listening to Mrs. Qin's explanation, Qin Hexuan's expression eased slightly.
He automatically understood Mrs. Qin's words to mean that as long as he didn't show Qingtian in public too often, it would be fine.
Mrs. Qin spoke carefully, watching her son's expression, and ultimately did not dare to relay the last few words of Prince Rui's wife.
Before leaving, Princess Rui specifically said, "I have a rough idea of what I'm doing. Although the Ye family is just an ordinary citizen, they have a clean family background.
"If He Xuan really likes her, it wouldn't be impossible for him to bring her in as a concubine after he gets married.
"Just keep it in check on a daily basis. It's not good for Hexuan's reputation."
To be honest, before hearing what Princess Rui said, Madam Qin had never thought about it in that way.
The main reason is that the two children are still too young, and Qin Hexuan's love for Qingtian is just the love of a brother for his sister. She always feels that it is too early to say these words.
However, she still wanted to give Qin Hexuan some hope, so she said vaguely: "Your aunt is doing this for your own good. You have just returned and haven't established yourself yet, so it is inevitable that people will talk about you.
"When you become capable in the future, no one will dare to say anything bad about you. Even if you want to bring Qingtian home, it won't be a problem."
Mrs. Qin's words were too vague. Qin Hexuan completely failed to understand what the Princess of Rui meant, and instead misunderstood her meaning.
Qin Hexuan asked in surprise, "Mother, is it true?"
He had previously thought about asking Madam Qin to adopt Qingtian or recognize Qingtian as her goddaughter. Wouldn't he then naturally be Qingtian's brother?
By then, he would be able to take care of Qingtian and be nice to her more naturally. It would be best if he could pamper her a little and stop her from being so sensible.
So, to Qin Hexuan, Mrs. Qin's ambiguous words meant that as long as he worked hard and could gain a foothold in the capital, Mrs. Qin would consider adopting Qingtian and let Qingtian enter the Qin family legitimately.
When Mrs. Qin saw how excited Qin Hexuan was after hearing what she said, she felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, I had assured my sister before that Hexuan was young and had not yet figured things out, and Qingtian was several years younger than Hexuan. The two children were just good at playing together and it was impossible for them to have any extra thoughts.
Who knew that I had just finished saying it at noon and was slapped in the face by my son in the evening.
Do you like sunny days so much?
Are you so happy when you hear that you can bring her back home?
Forget it, the Ye family has a pretty decent family tradition anyway. If this can motivate his son to make progress, it’s not impossible for him to take Qingtian into his family in the future.
In the end, the mother and son's awkward conversation, which seemed to be harmonious but was actually awkward, ended with a misunderstanding that both sides found acceptable.
"No need to send it out. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
Mrs. Qin said this and stood up and left Qin Hexuan's room.
Although she said no, Qin Hexuan still stood up and walked her out the door politely.
Mrs. Qin thought that there was indeed a deep gap between her and her youngest son.
If you are the eldest or the second child, you will not care about these etiquette issues at all.
However, the ice that has accumulated for many years cannot be easily broken in a short period of time.
