"Zijin, I know that everyone around you has praised you since you were little, and you've worked very hard," Liu Sixian said with a sigh as she looked at Qin Zijin.
She knew how Qin Zijing felt. After his elder sister Qin Yusa disappeared, he was burdened with high expectations, but also with considerable pressure because Qin Yusa was too outstanding.
Qin Zijing is not smart; he is far inferior to Qin Yusa, a fact that Liu Sixian is well aware of.
Similarly, Qin Yusa handles everything with ease, confidence, and perfection, and she also dotes on her two younger brothers. To Qin Zijin, Qin Yusa is the perfect girl.
Because of Qin Yusa's disappearance, Liu Sixian and Qin Zhenming had a big fight. After that, Liu Sixian returned to Jinshi alone, leaving Qin Zijin in Yashi. This was something she owed Qin Zijin.
Similarly, Liu Sixian knew why Qin Zijing and Qin Ye disliked Bai Yueyue. In their eyes, Qin Yusa was the most perfect older sister, and she couldn't be allowed to be defiled. However, Bai Yueyue and Qin Yusa were almost identical, so they naturally magnified Bai Yueyue's shortcomings to argue that she was not as good as Qin Yusa.
If Bai Yueyue knew what they were thinking, she would be furious. She never wanted to become Qin Yusa! She really didn't know much about Qin Yusa!
"But you should also know that you still have your father and grandfather to protect you. But you also have a younger brother and now a younger sister. What you should be doing now is fulfilling your duties as an older brother, taking care of them, and leading them forward, instead of causing conflict between your siblings."
"I understand, son." Qin Zijing replied calmly without looking up.
Bai Yueyue understood Qin Zijing's current behavior, but he certainly didn't.
Liu Sixian knew this too, but this matter needed to be handled slowly. The most important factor in managing the relationship between the three was her eldest brother, Qin Zijing.
As for Qin Zijing and Qin Ye, both were punished with ten strokes of the cane by Liu Sixian using family discipline. Before leaving, Qin Zijing didn't show much emotion, and didn't even glance at Bai Yueyue, but Qin Ye still looked very unwilling.
Ugh, why are these two so stubborn? Bai Yueyue was speechless. She felt that if she didn't have this appearance, she would have far fewer troubles.
"Yueyue, will you blame me for handling things this way?" Liu Sixian asked as Bai Yueyue was thinking about how to get as far away from the two of them as possible.
"Oh, Sixian, how could Yueyue possibly blame you..." Qin Limin tried to smooth things over.
"Shut up!" Liu Sixian silenced Qin Limin. "I'll deal with your problem separately later."
Bai Yueyue gently shook her head: "Of course not, Godmother, I understand how you feel."
Liu Sixian's handling of the situation was actually quite lenient, mostly involving verbal reprimands, which Bai Yueyue could understand, since Liu Sixian felt indebted to the two of them.
More important than the outcome was how to prevent those two from causing her trouble. If she could at least make them dislike her but not cause her any trouble, Bai Yueyue would be satisfied. She no longer expected Qin Limin to accomplish this task; she was now relying more on Liu Sixian.
"I'm sorry, Yueyue." Under everyone's gaze, Liu Sixian stood up, squatted down in front of Bai Yueyue, and hugged her tightly. "You are really as sensible as Yu Sa. Please rest assured, I will protect you."
Hey! Shouldn't such an impolite action be done in a small room?
Somewhat at a loss, he used magic to force himself to calm down and looked at Li Jieyue, who simply nodded slightly.
Bai Yueyue understood Li Jieyue's thoughts and gently hugged Liu Sixian: "Godmother, it's okay. I will try my best to be as amazing as Sister Yu Sa."
"wrong……"
"Huh?"
"You should call me Mom! Calling me Godmother is too formal!"
...Help! Dear Godmother, could you give me a little time to prepare?
"Lady Liu Sixian, please be mindful of your status." Li Jieyue couldn't help but feel annoyed by Liu Sixian's words. How dare this person poach her boyfriend right in front of her?
“Oh, Jieyue,” Liu Sixian said, turning to Li Jieyue as she released Bai Yueyue, “Yueyue is now considered my daughter too.”
That's why I call you Godmother.
"This is too formal! Yueyue, what do you think?"
Hehe, Godmother, you are now just like Qin Ye, the source of my headaches.
"Godmother, if I only call you Mother, then Godfather will be too pitiful, and it's also not in accordance with etiquette." Never mind, Godfather, the time has come to need you!
"Oh dear, it could be a little cuter!"
"I've already used a very cute tone, please consider my godfather!"
Then, Qin Limin felt a dangerous gaze.
"Okay, okay~" Liu Sixian let go of Bai Yueyue as if giving up.
"Miss, Old Master Qin said he misses you." After the two finished talking, Xiao Zhou stepped forward and whispered in Bai Yueyue's ear.
Hmm, Xiao Zhou was originally Grandpa's personal attendant, so it seems Grandpa already knows about the situation here. What do you mean, "miss me"? You want me to bring my godmother over, right?
This was a difficult problem for Bai Yueyue. Based on previous information, Bai Yueyue guessed that the two did not seem to have a good relationship. How could she tactfully persuade her godmother to go over?
"Did Father ask you to call me over?" Liu Sixian looked at Bai Yueyue's thoughtful expression after hearing Xiao Zhou's words and guessed the reason.
"Ah, Grandpa misses me and wants me to come and keep him company. Godmother, Grandpa has been thinking about us a lot lately."
Bai Yueyue's words were very tactful; she was telling Liu Sixian that Qin Zhenming missed her, not ordering her to take Liu Sixian there, and that Qin Zhenming was getting a bit old now...
"Alright, don't I know my father well?" Liu Sixian said. "He's only saying that because he can't let go of his pride. Let's go. If I don't go, he'll definitely come and bother us again."
Huh? Dear Godmother, is it alright for you to talk about Grandpa like that?
"Then please, Godmother, accompany me." Qin Zhenming meant that the two of them should go, and Li Jieyue and Qin Limin could not go.
Li Jieyue and Qin Limin, accompanied by their personal attendants, went to another room to discuss the preparations for inviting guests to Bai Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony.
Although Liu Sixian is usually very free, her aristocratic gait in formal occasions is very standard, at least on par with Bai Yueyue.
Upon arriving at Qin Zhenming's door, Xiao Zhou knocked on the door, and Bai Yueyue said, "Grandpa, it's me, Bai Yueyue. I've arrived. My godmother missed you, so she came with me. Please forgive my presumption and allow us to enter."
“Father, I am Liu Sixian. Please allow Yueyue and me to pay our respects to you together.”
Although Qin Zhenming wanted to see Liu Sixian, which is why he sent Bai Yueyue, he ultimately did not give the order for Liu Sixian to come as well. Therefore, the two of them naturally needed to bow to each other at this moment to obtain permission.
"I grant you permission." As the door opened, Qin Zhenming's voice seemed to have aged a few more times in Bai Yueyue's ears.
