Just as Bai Yueyue had guessed, Liu Sixian's smile vanished the moment Qin Limin appeared.
Seeing Qin Limin's astonished look, you can tell how much he doubts his own eyes right now.
When he looked at Li Jieyue with a puzzled expression, Li Jieyue simply shook her head gently.
"What are you looking at? You're not happy that I'm back?" Liu Sixian grabbed Qin Limin's ear and roared, "If I hadn't come back, were you going to let those two brats turn the world upside down?"
Good heavens, stepmother, are you really that free? Aren't nobles supposed to be gentle, virtuous wives and mothers?
Just as Bai Yueyue was once again stunned by Liu Sixian, the personal attendants of the group turned around with remarkable insight.
However, Liu Sixian still gave Qin Limin some face, and quickly let go of his hand, then turned and walked into the manor.
"Jieyue, why didn't you tell me she's back?" Qin Limin glanced at Liu Sixian, who seemed to have walked away, and came to Li Jieyue's side to ask in a low voice.
How would I know she didn't tell you when she got home?
Okay, that's true. If other people knew, she wouldn't be Liu Sixian.
He sighed, but it was good that Liu Sixian was willing to come home. Qin Limin no longer cared too much; he needed to report Liu Sixian's return to the Qin family to Qin Zhenming immediately.
"Second Miss, welcome back." Xiao Zhou also received news of everyone's arrival. As Bai Yueyue's personal servant in the Qin family, he naturally had to come and serve Bai Yueyue as soon as possible.
"Mm." As Bai Yueyue nodded, Xiao Zhou also stepped back to Hu Meier and the other woman's side.
Following Li Jieyue into the Qin family home, they soon arrived at the main hall. It was in this very place that Bai Yueyue had taken Cui Ye as her personal attendant last time.
However, now Qin Limin and Liu Sixian are both seated in the main seats.
"Yueyue, come sit next to me." Liu Sixian smiled and waved to Bai Yueyue.
Without a doubt, if Bai Yueyue actually went to sit there, Qin Zijin and Qin Ye would be even more jealous of her.
Should I refuse? If I don't refuse, there will be trouble. But these are the words of an elder, and it's tiring to refuse.
While Bai Yueyue was thinking, Qin Limin said, "Yueyue, since your godmother wants you to sit next to her, then go and sit down."
Well, since they've both spoken, it would be rude of me to refuse again.
"Yes, thank you, Godmother." With Hu Meier's help, Bai Yueyue sat quietly and obediently next to Liu Sixian.
"Well, I must say, Qin Limin, you have a good eye for people," Liu Sixian said, looking at Bai Yueyue beside her and taking her hand to place in front of her. "Look how well-behaved and cute Yueyue is."
"Hehe, yes, I've worked really hard to teach Yueyue well." Qin Limin chuckled as he recounted his experiences with Bai Yueyue.
This made Bai Yueyue wonder if there was something seriously wrong with her memory. "Godfather, is the person you described who painstakingly prepared these lessons for me really you?"
However, Bai Yueyue wouldn't offend Qin Limin like Qin Ye did.
So Bai Yueyue replied with a smile, "Yes, Godmother, Godfather has been a great help to me."
This is true. Although Bai Yueyue had a lot more trouble because of Qin Limin, she also had fewer difficulties and headaches because of Qin Limin.
"Oh dear, it seems Qin Limin is a decent godfather after all?" Because of Bai Yueyue's words, Liu Sixian's gaze towards Qin Limin became more satisfied.
"Of course!"
"Master, Madam, the two young masters have arrived at the gate. Shall we let them in?" The manor's head butler asked the two men.
"Let them in," Liu Sixian said calmly.
Huh? Why do I feel a bit cold?
"Father, Mother." Qin Zijing and Qin Ye saw the three people in the main seat the moment they entered, and knelt down to pay their respects.
However, the two were more focused on Liu Sixian, especially Qin Ye, whose eyes were sparkling. If Liu Sixian allowed it, he would probably come up to her and act cute. Therefore, the two did not pay much attention to Bai Yueyue.
"However, are Yueyue's hair and eyes naturally silver and red?" Liu Sixian ignored the two of them, simply making them kneel there, and then spoke with Bai Yueyue.
Qin Limin knew that Liu Sixian was disciplining the child, and he didn't intend to interfere, otherwise he would be the one being disciplined later.
My dear godmother! How could you do this? Look at the way they look at me, like they want to kill me!
"My dear Mother, my hair and eyes are natural." But what you acquire later in life is still part of it; how can something you change later not be considered natural?
"Oh my, that's really cute," Liu Sixian said.
"Thank you for your praise, Godmother. It makes me really happy."
“Mother, she…” Hearing Liu Sixian praising Bai Yueyue, Qin Yusa’s “imposter,” Qin Ye couldn’t help but want to refute her.
"Shut up! Who gave you permission to interrupt? I haven't taught you in so long, have you lost even basic manners?" Liu Sixian yelled at Qin Ye before he could finish speaking. This startled not only Qin Ye, but also Qin Zijing and Bai Yueyue.
Qin Ye's personal attendant also knelt down quickly as Liu Sixian became angry, and begged for forgiveness from Liu Sixian.
"Qin Teng, punish him with five strokes of the cane according to family rules." Liu Sixian's voice was unwavering, even somewhat stern.
"Yes, sir." Qin Teng was the head butler of the Qin family, and one of Qin Zhenming's adopted children in his early years. Just as Bai Yueyue needed to respect Zhao Shuli, even Qin Zijing and Qin Ye had to respect Qin Teng.
"Mother!" Qin Ye exclaimed in disbelief. In his memory, Liu Sixian clearly loved him the most, so why would she punish him? It must be because of that imposter.
Bai Yueyue felt exhausted, having been unfairly blamed again.
"Ten strokes of the cane," Liu Sixian said again. "What kind of look is that? Who taught you to be disrespectful to your sister? You have the guts to yell at your sister, so now I'm punishing you. If you have the guts, then look at me with those eyes."
Huh? Godmother, are you being so fierce?
"Son wouldn't dare..." Sensing Liu Sixian's anger, Qin Ye lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"Don't dare? Weren't you very bold? The personal attendant I arranged for you, you actually wanted to use him to slander your own sister? Because of a few instigating words from outsiders, you sided with them and bullied your own sister. And now you don't dare? Qin Ye, you're even bolder than your mother. Qin Teng, what are you standing there for? You're not even listening to me anymore?"
"Yes, madam." Qin Teng wouldn't offend Liu Sixian for Qin Ye's sake, so he would naturally take action. At the same time, knowing his wife's temper, he wouldn't show any mercy.
"Qin Zijin, don't look down. Look at me properly. You've done quite well as the eldest brother. Do you think you're destined to become the head of the Qin family? You can bully your sister like this and turn a blind eye to your brother's actions?"
"Mother, I know I was wrong, please punish me." Qin Zijing knew that he absolutely could not go against Liu Sixian at this time, so he immediately began to admit his mistake.
