"Mother, I want to take Qingtian out for a while." Qin Hexuan asked Mrs. Qin for permission.
But Mrs. Qin knew in her heart that it was more of a disguised notification than a request for instructions.
She naturally wouldn't stop her son, and only said, "It's the end of the year now, and there are a lot of people outside. Bring a few more people with you."
"Okay, don't worry, mother." Qin Hexuan nodded, turned around and asked someone to find one of his coats for Qingtian to put on.
His clothes were too big and long for Qingtian, making him look like a cloak.
Mrs. Qin watched from the side, but couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
If she was not mistaken, the clothes seemed to be the sable feather coat that Princess Rui gave to Qin Hexuan after he returned to Beijing this time.
Sable feather eyes are rare, and it is rare to be able to add a border to clothes.
That is to say, Qin Hexuan is still young, and Princess Rui has saved up for several years to have someone make him such a piece of clothing as a gift to celebrate his return to Beijing from outside the Great Wall.
Mrs. Qin had never seen him take it out and wear it on weekdays, and she thought he cherished it too much and was reluctant to wear it. Who would have thought that he would put it directly on Qingtian at this moment.
Qingtian looked down at her clothes curiously. The hem of her clothes was almost dragging on the ground.
"It's too long. If it gets dirty down there..."
Qin Hexuan buttoned her collar without giving any explanation and said, "It's cold outside, dress properly. You've just recovered from your injury and you've forgotten your lesson?"
After buttoning up his shirt, he picked up Qingtian and said, "If you don't go to the ground, you won't get dirty."
Mrs. Qin felt that she could no longer stay here, and led the servants back to the main room with a depressed look on her face.
"Look at this kid. He always seems to be separated from his family by something, but he's so open and sincere to Qingtian."
After returning to her room, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but complain to Nanny Jiang.
"It's not that I hate Qingtian, she's so well-behaved and sensible, I like her.
"But Ma'am, don't you think Hexuan is being too nice to Qingtian?
"I gave the jade pendant to Qingtian, and now she's wearing the sable eyelashes that my eldest sister gave her..."
The more Mrs. Qin spoke, the sadder she became. She was his biological mother, but she was not as good as a sunny day.
Nanny Jiang listened quietly to Madam Qin's complaints. After she had vented all her anger, she sighed and said, "Madam, I have heard something recently.
"I was afraid that Madam would be upset, so I didn't dare tell you...
"But now that I hear you say this, I feel that telling you this may help you understand the young master a little better."
"What's the matter?" For some reason, Mrs. Qin had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Actually, I also heard it from Mu Zheng." Nanny Jiang's words immediately increased the credibility of her subsequent content.
As the orphan of the Mu family, Mu Zheng could not be treated as a servant, no matter whether he was raised in the Wen family or later went to the capital to follow Qin Songyin.
So when he arrived at the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin asked Madam Jiang to take good care of him.
After getting to know each other, Nanny Jiang really loved this child with a difficult life from the bottom of her heart, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
"If it weren't for the fact that my relationship with Mu Zheng has become increasingly close over the past few years, he wouldn't have said these words..."
"Madam, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!" Madam Qin urged anxiously.
“Mu Zheng said that the young master was actually bullied a lot when he was a child in the Wen family.
"Mu Zheng and I became acquainted because one day he saw other kids bullying the young master and went to help him out.
"He felt sorry for the young master and even taught him some martial arts, hoping that he would be able to fight back..."
"Impossible!" Madam Qin denied excitedly, "With my father here, who would dare to bully He Xuan?"
"Madam, General Wen is very busy with official duties and he's a rough and tumble man. He might not even know about these things."
Mrs. Qin's anger instantly subsided, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Nanny Jiang sighed and continued, "Madam, you should know that children are the most innocent, but they can also be the most cruel.
"They don't care about the young master's identity at all. They just say that he's a wild child abandoned by his parents. He's, he's a jinx who even his parents don't want..."
Mrs. Qin covered her mouth with her hands, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She knew that without his parents around, his youngest son must have suffered a lot, but she never imagined that such a thing would happen...
No wonder when she traveled thousands of miles from the capital to her parents' home and finally saw the little son she had been thinking about day and night, Qin Hexuan only bowed to her politely after being introduced by his father, without showing any surprise or emotion of finally seeing his mother.
So, in fact, for all these years, He Xuan has always thought that he was a child hated and abandoned by his parents?
Nanny Jiang continued, "Qingtian's background is also unknown, and he lives with his adoptive parents.
"I once heard the young master privately ask Miss Qingtian whether her current parents were treating her well. He even said that if they weren't treating her well, he would take her home and raise her as his younger sister."
“So this old servant guesses that the young master has been doting on Miss Qingtian ever since he met her on his way back to the capital.
"Maybe it's just because Miss Sunny reminds him of his childhood, and he hopes Miss Sunny won't suffer the same pain he suffered..."
Before Nanny Jiang finished her words, Madam Qin was already crying uncontrollably.
No wonder she always felt that her youngest son was very alienated from her and the family. It turned out that it was not an illusion at all.
