After saying that, he looked at Qin Xuanyi again. Oh, I almost forgot there was a sheep here!
"Brother Qin, my mother and your mother are very close friends. Although you broke your promise, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. However..."
My grandmother taught me from a young age that one should act with a clear conscience. She said the most important thing a person can't betray is their conscience, don't you agree?
She blinked her bright eyes, her gaze towards Qin Xuanyi full of encouragement.
If the Qin father and son still don't know what she's up to, they might as well give up their jobs.
"Heh, heh heh, yes, yes, Xuanyi, to be honest, you were wrong about breaking off the engagement. Aren't you going to apologize to your sister Bai..."
The old fox gestured to her son with her eyes, signaling him to go along with her for now.
Qin Xuanyi's heart softened when she mentioned his mother. He thought of the marriage agreement his mother and Aunt Kang had made for them years ago, and how he...
"This was my fault, and I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he stood up, bowed, and then took a box from his study next door and handed it to her.
When Bai Yajing opened it, she found the golden phoenix hairpin, a pair of golden earrings, and a golden necklace.
"This was originally a gift from my mother to you, so please keep it safe. The earrings and necklace are also my apology."
Bai Yajing coughed lightly and closed the lid.
"Thank you, Brother Qin. I appreciate your sincerity."
After saying that, he clapped his hands again and looked at Bai Yazhu, whose face had been pale ever since she came in.
"Oh, Bai Yazhu, you're here too! Speaking of which, my mother wouldn't have died if it weren't for you and your daughter. You know, you have to be fair..."
The veins on Bai Yazhu's forehead were throbbing; I really wanted to tear her mouth apart!
But Qin Xuanyi stopped her and shook his head at her.
"Bai Yajing, so many years have passed since this incident. The mother and her two children have been punished. For so many years, they have not been recognized by Old Master Bai, have not been included in the family genealogy, and have been the subject of gossip."
That's enough, don't go too far!
Bai Yajing's smiling face instantly fell, and she looked at Qin Xuanyi with a stern and displeased expression.
"Let me ask you, if Aunt Qin was forced to her death by her mistress, could you live peacefully with that mistress and her illegitimate child?"
Qin Xuanyi's face stiffened, and he stammered, unable to speak. Of course he couldn't do it! Not killing the mother and child was already a favor!
"Ha! You make it sound so easy for yourself since you haven't experienced it yourself or been stabbed in the back!"
I should have had a happy and fulfilling family, but because of that mother and her two children, my family was destroyed and I died.
Having grown up without a father or mother, I've never even experienced what it's like to have parents.
The three of them were simply not recognized, yet they still lived a life of luxury, loved by their parents and relatives. What punishment did they suffer?
You even took away the last thing my mother left me, what grievances does she have? You can't even do what you're told, what right do you have to lecture me? Forgive me on my behalf?
These words made the Qin father and son blush; they had never thought of that aspect before.
He didn't care how much the girl on the other side suffered because of this, how much gossip she heard while being fostered in the countryside since childhood.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Bai Yazhu knew she couldn't let her continue...
She quickly took a brand new watch out of her bag and pushed it over.
"I just bought this as an apology for stealing your fiancé. But I don't regret it. You can't force a relationship. I did this for your own good."
She avoided the topic of Xu forcing Kang to her death, because she had no way to defend herself on that matter.
I just bought the watch at the department store as an engagement gift, but now I have to reluctantly give it up.
