Chapter 239: Taking Responsibility for Injury
Madam Qin obviously didn't expect Qin Xiangnuan to answer like this. She was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked Qin Xiangnuan, "What's wrong with it?"
"Nuanyang's leg injury will prevent him from walking for at least a month, and he lost too much blood this time, so he might need some rest later." Qin Xiangnuan said this while staring at Qin Xiangsong.
Of course, Qin Xiangnuan did not deny that she had exaggerated a lot, but if it was scary, she had to exaggerate.
Madam Qin was so protective of her grandson that she simply assumed what Qin Xiangnuan said was true. She murmured, "It's so serious. What should I do?"
"That's easy." Qin Xiangnuan smiled.
Qin Xiangsong shuddered, Qin Xiangnuan's laughter made him want to stay away.
At this time, Old Lady Qin was fully focused on finding ways to mitigate Qin Xiangsong's mistake, and only stared at Qin Xiangnuan. She did not notice anything wrong in Qin Xiangnuan's smile, so she did not know Qin Xiangsong's fear.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her chin, pointed in Qin Xiangsong's direction, and said to Old Madam Qin, "Grandma, Qin Xiangsong is now able to help you with some things within his ability. It is very appropriate to let him take care of Nuanyang."
"Song..." Old Madam Qin still couldn't understand why Qin Xiangnuan's words were meant to protect Nuan Yang.
"Nuannuan." Old Madam Qin was relieved now that she knew Nuanyang was fine. "Song'er is just a child. How could he know how to take care of others?"
When Qin Yi heard this, his first reaction was no, but then he remembered Qin Xiangnuan's words, and thought that Qin Xiangsong's status was not so noble that he could not help others, so why not make up for the mistake in this way?
"Mom, when I was this old as a child, I could also help with housework." Qin Yi stood on Qin Xiangnuan's side.
Madam Qin frowned, "How can this be compared?"
"Why not?" Qin Yi also frowned, and became more determined to help Nuan Yang.
Qin Xiangsong seemed to have just come to his senses and understood what Qin Xiangnuan meant. He tugged at Old Madam Qin's clothes and said, "Grandma, does she want me to serve that silly...Nuanyang?"
When Qin Xiangsong was about to blurt out the word "fool", he received Qin Xiangnuan's death gaze and consciously changed the address. With this pause, his whole momentum dropped.
"No need to serve." Old Madam Qin patted his hand to reassure him.
But Qin Xiangnuan was standing there all the time, so how could Qin Xiangsong feel at ease?
"Grandma, I'm not as strong as my older brother. I can't even tie up a chicken..."
"Oh."
Qin Xiangsong was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Qin Xiangnuan's cold snort.
"Nuannuan, this is indeed inappropriate." Old Madam Qin said to Qin Xiangnuan with a worried look on her face, "If Nuanyang needs someone to take care of him, we can just send someone over."
"Grandma, who do you think we should send?" Qin Xiangnuan knew that Old Madam Qin was protecting the younger generation, but she had underestimated her level of protection before.
"Mom, Song'er is capable." Qin Yi made the final decision. "Descendants of the Qin family should be able to take responsibility for their own actions."
The other members of the Qin family didn't participate much in this conversation at this time, but they could all guess the final outcome.
Faced with the double-sided attack from Qin Xiangnuan and Qin Yi, no matter how dissatisfied Madam Qin was with this decision, she had no choice but to agree to them.
"Grandma, I don't want to go!" Qin Xiangsong couldn't believe it. Old Lady Qin pushed him out just like that.
After Old Madam Qin agreed, they persuaded Qin Xiangsong together, "Song'er, the world is about karma. You did something wrong this time, but fortunately Nuan Yang was not killed. You still have a chance to make amends."
Qin Xiangsong was not willing to listen to such a big theory. He only knew that the Qin family asked him to take care of a fool. The fool couldn't walk and needed to be supported. The fool needed to eat well, so he had to save food for him.
He also told Qin Xiangnuan that the nutritional needs of a fool are huge and it costs money, so they have to save the money from him.
"I, I didn't mean to hurt him!" Qin Xiangsong's eyes turned red with anxiety.
From the time of the incident until this moment, they had only listened to Qin Xiangning's brief account of what had happened, and then he began to comfort the child with kind words and concentrate on treating the wound.
No one asked how the incident happened, and Qin Xiangsong also decided that it didn't matter. After all, he was surrounded by his own people, and there would be someone to help deal with any problem.
But at this moment, Qin Xiangsong himself mentioned the cause and process of the incident, just to defend himself and not obey the judgment that he had to "atone for his sins".
"It's such a deep wound. How could you have stabbed it if you didn't do it on purpose?" Qin Xiangnuan said calmly.
If Qin Xiangsong hadn't heard her words clearly, he would have thought that Qin Xiangnuan didn't care! But the fact was just the opposite.
"I, I was just anxious at the moment." Qin Xiangsong lowered his head and avoided looking at everyone.
Madam Qin touched Qin Xiangsong's head and whispered, "We all know you didn't do it on purpose, so don't be afraid. Just help Nuan Yang for a few days and he'll be fine."
Qin Yi was lost in thought. He was arguing with Qi when the child started making a fuss, and he had no idea when the carriage stopped.
When he learned about the accident, he ran directly to the carriage where Nuan Yang was. He had no time to think about how Qin Xiangsong had injured Nuan Yang, nor did he know what the weapon was.
Everything was pieced together into a complete story after I met Qin Xiangsong.
"Who taught you to hurt people with the silver hairpin?" Qin Yi stared at Qin Xiangsong with anger in his eyes.
"What are you doing!" Old Madam Qin looked at the aggressive expressions of Qin Yi and Qin Xiangnuan and fought against them like she was protecting her own children. "He doesn't know how to hurt people. It was just an accident while playing!"
Qin Xiangnuan exhaled, her voice sounding a little tired. "Grandma, aren't you curious about who this silver hairpin belongs to?"
As she spoke, Qin Xiangnuan took out the bloody hairpin from her bosom, wrapped it in a handkerchief and placed it in front of them.
"This..." Madam Qin's strong aura of protecting her cub instantly weakened.
The hairpin in front of me is very unfamiliar, and I have never seen a similar style before.
"Song'er, where did this come from?" Old Madam Qin pointed at the hairpin and asked Qin Xiangsong.
Qin Xiangsong stammered, "My mother gave it to me."
Madam Qin first glanced at Qin Yi, and seeing that he was also puzzled, she frowned, and then asked Qin Xiangsong, "When did your mother give you the hairpin, and why did she give it to you?"
Qin Xiangsong knew that all the trouble was caused by this hairpin. When asked by Old Lady Qin, he explained everything honestly, and even said a few more words for fear that he was not clear enough.
Zou was terrified when she heard this and hugged Qin Xiangning tightly, feeling a little scared. Fortunately, Qin Xiangning was fine this time.
"Alright." Qin Yi interrupted impatiently, "Don't go looking for your mother again."
Madam Qin nodded repeatedly, "Your mother's mind is too evil now, you must not let her teach you bad things."
Qin Xiangsong was unusually well-behaved at this time, shrinking his body and praising repeatedly.
