Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Qin Ye with red eyes, full of accusations and grievances.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have died with you in the snow and ice back then, and I wouldn't have to suffer the injustice I have today..." An held her face in her hands and cried inconsolably.

"My life is so miserable... You ungrateful bastard... You grew up drinking my blood!"

"Mom..." Qin Jiaojiao hugged her mother and her eyes turned red.

Qin Ye sat there stiffly, as if there was a piece of blood stuck in his throat, blocking it, unable to go up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

yes.

She is a piece of flesh that fell off An's body.

Without Anshi, she wouldn't have grown up.

No matter what she did, she could never repay the kindness of raising her...

Qin Ye pursed his lips, looked at An who was crying, and said, "I... promise you."

An was stunned for a moment, then raised her head happily and quickly took Qin Ye's hands:

"Xiao Ye, do you agree?"

"Don't blame me for forcing you. I'm actually doing this to keep everyone fair."

"If you want to have a better life, help Jiaojiao; if Jiaojiao wants to have a better life, help you. Sooner or later, I will die. You two sisters must always be united and help each other. Only then will I feel at ease!"

An's voice was hoarse and she spoke earnestly.

Qin Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Mom, please don't say any nonsense. Your daughter will definitely work hard to make you live a good life!"

"Jiaojiao is such a good daughter. Xiaoye, you should learn more from your sister. Ahem... When mom was pregnant with you, she was frozen in the snow and has been in poor health ever since. What if she passes away one day..."

Qin Ye pursed his lips, not wanting to say anything more, just nodded.

"Sister, when did you buy this jade pendant? It's so beautiful." Qin Jiaojiao noticed the jade pendant around her waist with her sharp eyes.

Warm jade from Jiangnan.

An took a quick look and sighed, "Tomorrow your sister will go boating on the lake with Prince Li. Over the years, mother has been oppressed by the Madam and has been short of money. She can't even afford to buy anything good."

"How about you lend this jade pendant to me for a few days?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Jiaojiao reached out and deftly untied it and hung it around her waist.

"Thank you, sister!"

She said, "Sister, I will remember all your kindness to me. When I marry Prince Li and have a better life, I will definitely repay you double."

Qin Ye pursed her lips, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment. She didn't want to stay here any longer. The atmosphere in Prime Minister Qin's Mansion made her feel oppressive and uncomfortable.

After responding to a few random words, he left in a hurry.

Outside the palace.

When Yue Er saw the woman coming out, she immediately went to meet her, but she found...

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little pale?" He held the princess' hand, which was also very cold.

"I……"

Qin Ye felt very depressed and uncomfortable, "I..."

But when I opened my mouth, I couldn't utter a word and didn't know where to start.

Family ties are hard to cut and difficult to sort out.

Although she knew that An was partial to her, she could not fight back because of this. After all, An had been pregnant for ten months and had gone through a lot of hardships to give birth to her.

Can……

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Yue'er asked hurriedly, "Please don't scare me, did the Madam and the Third Miss bully you?"

"Don't be afraid, I will tell the prince right away!"

"No need!" Qin Ye suddenly grabbed her and sorted out his thoughts at this moment.

She first helped An with the matters concerning the southern tour and Prince Li.

If there is a next time, she will never give in. This time, she will just consider it as repaying An for giving birth to her.

But how should I tell Zong Zhengchen...
