The servant carefully chose his words and reported.
"Mother Li brought some clothes to the children this afternoon. The young master was unhappy when she saw them and wanted to take them back. But some of the clothes had already been worn, so the young master refused to comply and started making a fuss."
So that's how it is. But Quan Ge'er originally wanted to give those clothes to the little beggars, but suddenly he changed his mind. I know without asking that someone is trying to sow discord between them.
When Quan Ge'er saw Xie Wanyun come in, he lowered his head guiltily.
"What's going on?" Xie Wanyun asked directly.
"They..." Quan Ge'er hesitated, stiffened his neck, and said angrily, "Anyway, I don't want them to live here!"
"There must be a reason. How did they offend you?" Xie Wanyun asked slowly.
Seeing that Quan Ge'er still didn't speak, he said, "Didn't you give those clothes to Xiao Douzi and the others yourself? How can you go back on your word?"
Seeing that Quan Ge'er still kept his head down and said nothing, he patiently persuaded him, "I know you're not reluctant to part with a few clothes, you're just still unwilling to accept them, right?"
"Madam, now that you have Jinbai, you have to take care of so many people. Will you ignore me in the future?" Quan Ge'er finally asked out his deep concern.
"I answered you before, have you forgotten?" Xie Wanyun knew what the child was worried about. He was simply afraid that he would ignore him. Especially now that his own mother had also ignored him.
She reached out and stroked his hair, comforting him.
"But if I stay with beggars, people will laugh at me." Quan Ge'er said in a low voice.
"Nonsense! Beggars are human beings too. If someone looks down on you for that, then they're wrong. Isn't that what you read in the books? All beings are equal, we should be compassionate to the weak, and we should be kind. Do you think you can forget what you read?"
When Quan Ge'er heard her say this, he blushed. He whispered, "I understand. I won't do that again. Well, Madam, Jin Bai doesn't look down on them. She even makes friends with them. Is Jin Bai better than me?"
Xie Wanyun knew that he had been secretly competing with Jin Bai, so she deliberately kept a cold face and did not answer him. Quan Geer waited for a long time without a response, and became anxious, shouting, "Madam!"
Xie Wanyun then smiled and said, "Jinbai has his own good qualities, and Quan Ge'er has his own good qualities. They are both good children."
Only then did Quan Ge'er feel relieved and laughed embarrassedly.
That afternoon, Liu Yuner came again while Xie Wanyun was away. Quan Ge'er was also very happy to see his mother. The two talked for a while, and Liu Yuner put on an indignant look and said, "Quan Ge'er, you are a legitimate son of a marquisate. How can you hang out with beggars? If this gets out, you will be laughed at. If the mistress doesn't agree, go to her and cry and make a scene. In short, you must drive these little beggars out."
Quan Ge'er blinked his eyes and said in embarrassment: "Mom, those little beggars are also very pitiful. No one cares about them. It's so cold, they will freeze to death without clothes."
Liu Yuner poked him angrily, "There are so many pitiful people in the world, how can you be as pitiful as them? Just take care of yourself, why do you care about other people's business?"
"Mom, you are wrong. That is not meddling in other people's business. The eldest lady said that people should be kind and help those in need as much as possible." Quan Ge'er spoke a little haltingly, but very seriously.
Liu Yun'er was so angry that she thought that this child had been corrupted by Xie Wanyun and was acting so stupid.
Then he said with a gloomy face: "Are you planning to associate with these little beggars? You won't even listen to your mother's words?"
When Quan Ge'er saw her stern face, he felt a little nervous. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded solemnly.
"You idiot!" Liu Yun'er was furious, thinking that it was over. Her son had been brainwashed by Xie Wanyun and was no longer on the same page with her.
He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Quan Ge'er in the face!
"Snap!" With a crisp sound, Quan Ge'er covered his rapidly swollen face and looked at Liu Yun'er in disbelief.
"Mom, you hit me?" Quan Ge'er's eyes welled with tears. The pain was secondary; the grievance was greater. His mother had always loved him, even when he was naughty and got into trouble, she wouldn't lift a finger against him.
She actually hit him today? And hit him so hard! Is it because she's going to have another child that she doesn't love him anymore?
