Chapter 73 Are you teaching me?
Xie Changning stroked her temples gently, her eyes full of smiles, "Anyone who comes is a guest, please invite him in."
Butler Zhao responded and turned to leave.
Xie Changning turned to look at Mother Du, "Tell them to invite the two young masters and the fifth young lady to come out to meet the guests."
Mother Du was a little puzzled. Qin Kaiji and Wu couldn't wait to come to the Marquis' Mansion. Wasn't it just to see a few children?
Why didn't the lady stop them, but let them have their way?
Xie Changning had his own plans.
Now those little beasts are all injured. How does the saying go?
When a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain.
I guess it’s the same for fathers.
Naturally, Qin Kaiji and Wu had to take a good look at them.
She had already asked someone to send Mother Huang to the farm. In fact, she did not believe what Mother Huang said. In her previous life, Wu had given Shen Jingyun and Shen Jingshu a lot of makeup.
Maybe she misheard, maybe not.
Or maybe there's some other reason...
Soon, Qin Kaiji and Wu came in under the guidance of housekeeper Zhao. They brought a lot of local specialties.
In the past, they always bypassed her and went directly to see Qin.
Now that Qin is paralyzed in bed, they naturally have to come and pay their respects to her as the Marquis' wife first. This is the most basic etiquette.
"Greetings, Madam Marquis!" The two people were dressed very respectably, but because they had just returned from a long journey, even though they had bathed, changed clothes, and dressed carefully, they still looked tired.
This shows how anxious Qin Kaiji and Wu were.
"Cousin and cousin-in-law, you don't have to be polite. Please have a look at the tea." Xie Changning smiled kindly. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing the demeanor of a marquis's wife.
"I heard that my aunt was ill and her condition was very serious. It was really heartbreaking. My husband and I came here rashly without giving a visiting card in advance. I hope Madam Hou can forgive us for our impoliteness." Mrs. Wu looked shrewd and her words were flawless.
Qin Kaiji also spoke up, "Aunt has always been in good health. How could she fall ill so suddenly? It's really hard to accept."
He looked emotional.
Why is Qin Kaiji questioning her?
A cold glint flashed across Xie Changning's eyes, and she sighed, "Who says it's not true? I'm also deeply saddened by Mother's illness, but what can we do? No one can replace her! I just hope she can recover soon."
As she said this, she flicked her handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her eyes inadvertently swept over Qin Kaiji, and sure enough, he looked very much like Qin, especially those overly shrewd eyes.
It is quite common for a nephew to resemble his aunt.
Shen Wenyuan's writing style is also similar to Qin's, which shows that Shen Wenyuan must also be a descendant of the Qin family, but he is not Qin's child!
Mrs. Wu was still the same as before, looking harmless, but actually shrewd and cunning. She was also very cruel and could give all the children she had carried for ten months to others to raise.
In fact, after Qin Kaiji and Wu spoke, Xie Changning should have taken the initiative to ask them to go visit Qin, as this was their purpose today.
But Xie Changning just didn't bring up this topic.
Wu could only speak, "Father and Mother knew that Aunt was seriously ill, and they were extremely worried. However, they are not in good health now, so they asked us to come and visit. We also ask Madam Hou to allow us to meet Aunt, which will be considered as fulfilling our filial piety."
She stood up as she spoke.
Qin Kaiji stood up with her.
The two people already knew about the children, and now they couldn't wait to meet Qin and ask her what was going on.
Why was Zhixu expelled from the Marquis' Mansion?
Not only did he lose his position as crown prince, but he also became infamous.
What's going on with Zhiyan?
Why did he insist on marrying a prostitute? He even sent out the invitations.
And Jingyun, she is the legitimate daughter of a marquis, how can she be someone's concubine?
Even being Song Wenjing's concubine is not acceptable.
"I'm afraid that won't work. The imperial physician has specifically instructed that mother needs to rest. Not to mention you, even the children are not allowed to disturb mother's recuperation in the next two days. Please forgive me. I'm doing this for the sake of mother's health. I think you both have the same feelings as me, and you both hope that mother can get better as soon as possible." Xie Changning still had a smile on her face. She shut Qin Kaiji and Wu up with just a few words.
Qin Kaiji and Wu's faces froze, and their hearts sank instantly.
Could it be... Xie Changning knew?
He treated the children like this and even stopped them from seeing their mother!
But how can they find out what happened if they don't see their mother?
What are they most worried about?
I’m afraid my mother has already been killed by Xie Changning!
Wu clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand. "We just want to see our aunt from a distance and won't disturb her. Otherwise, how will we explain to our father when we return?"
Qin Kaiji agreed, "Yes! Father and Mother are still waiting at home. We must give them an explanation. I hope Madam Hou will be lenient!"
Obviously they are not giving up and still want to fight for one or two more.
"Mother, why don't you allow us to see grandma, and why don't you allow us to go out? What have we done wrong that you are watching over us like criminals?" At this moment, Shen Zhizhou walked in angrily, and he questioned Xie Changning as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Jingshu followed behind him. Several of them were injured yesterday, so they were a little slow in their movements today.
They had long wanted to find Xie Changning to argue, but Xie Changning had always refused to see them.
Now, they can give full play to their abilities.
Shen Jingshu cried, "Grandma is sick, we just want to spend more time with her, why can't mother even allow this? Can't she bear to see us treat her well?"
Shen Zhiyan sneered, "Also, why did mother drive my aunt away? This is also my aunt's home. What qualifications do you have to do this? Do you want to drive all of us out of the Marquis' Mansion before you will give up?"
As soon as they appeared.
Qin Kaiji and Wu's eyes fell on them.
The look in your eyes that shows you want to stab someone cannot be hidden, and the look in your eyes that shows you genuine love for someone cannot be hidden either.
For example, at this moment, no matter how hard Qin Kaiji and Wu tried to hide it, they could not hide the love and longing in their eyes.
Only then did a few people notice Qin Kaiji and Wu.
"Uncle, aunt, you are here too, please judge for us." Shen Jingshu said, looking at the two of them.
Xie Changning saw it clearly.
Qin Kaiji and Wu Shi seemed to treat Shen Jingshu the same way...
Seeing them like this, Wu felt extremely distressed. She couldn't help but say, "Madam Hou, the young master and young lady are still young after all. If they do anything wrong, just teach them slowly. If you act too radically, it may backfire."
"Mrs. Qin, are you teaching me how to educate my children?" Xie Changning curled his lips slightly.
Immediately, her face darkened and she looked at the little beasts, "Kneel down!"
