"Mother, please, give me a chance, give me a chance!"
Mother, I will never make the same mistake again.
I won't make any mistakes!
If I make another mistake, may...may I die a horrible death, and may my son never see his mother again.
He Miaomiao was heartbroken when she talked about her son, Ayan.
That year, when Sun Ce besieged Lujiang City, her home was empty, and she made a mistake in a moment of weakness.
She gave birth to a son in the past two years. Although she and Qiao Er already had two concubines, Qiao Er treated her well overall.
With the Qiao family growing in number and becoming more prominent, and with Qiao's mother being particularly kind to Qiao Er, often subsidizing him and providing for their branch of the family, He Miaomiao's life was far more comfortable than in previous years. If it weren't for Liu Ajiao suddenly revealing the past today…
"Mother, please, please, for the sake of your grandson Ayan, spare me this time and don't send me away."
A mother cannot bear to be separated from her child.
Jo was also a mother; she had been forced to separate from her children in the past.
Now, when faced with the mistake He Miaomiao made that year, Qiao's mother appears extremely resolute.
"A vicious woman like you, keeping you by my grandson's side, won't you corrupt him?"
Qiao's mother was determined to drive He Miaomiao away.
In the end, Qiao Er came over with the child and knelt down beside him to beg for mercy.
There's no way.
Mrs. Qiao was determined.
They simply refused to see Qiao Er, disregarding their grandson's feelings, and insisted on driving away their second daughter-in-law.
Qiao's mother instructed the old woman beside her to urge He Miaomiao to pack her things and leave quickly.
They snatched Ayan from Qiao Er's hands. When Qiao Er started to make a fuss, they simply locked him in the woodshed.
He Miaomiao had been beaten by Qiao's mother's cane for a long time and hadn't recovered yet. Qiao Er's two concubines, Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister, even cried crocodile tears and rushed over to help her pack her things.
They said they were helping to tidy up, but in reality, they stripped He Miaomiao of all her valuables.
"Sister, you've been strong your whole life. We know you can't bear to leave this family right now, but what can we do? It's your fault for making mistakes back then! You deserve to be punished for your mistakes, and you can't blame anyone else!"
"Sister, hurry up! What's the use of dawdling? Erlang has already been locked in the woodshed by the old lady because of you. Do you want Erlang to suffer even more for you?"
He Miaomiao was betrayed by the concubine and regretted her actions.
With no one to turn to and nowhere to hide, they could only grasp at a straw to save their lives.
She told Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister that she wanted to see Fourth Miss in person before she left to apologize to her.
He received two concubines who gave him sarcastic smiles.
"Hey! Sister, go if you want, anyway, the Fourth Miss doesn't like you."
"Go ahead! If the young lady slaps you, you'll be asking for it."
Even if Qiao Jingjing slapped He Miaomiao, she would accept it.
If Da Qiao could say a good word for her.
Despite the heavy blows she had received, He Miaomiao limped to Qiao Manman's door and knelt down with a thud.
The sound startled Qiao Manman so much that she jumped.
"You...you..."
When Qiao Manman saw He Miaomiao's appearance, she told her to leave quickly.
“Mother told you to leave tonight, who would dare to keep you? Second brother has also been punished, and my nephew is crying nonstop. Our family… sigh, what a mess… Second sister-in-law, I'll call you Second Sister-in-law one last time!”
That day, my elder sister was taken hostage by Sun Ce, and my father, second brother, and third brother went to the city wall to defend against the enemy. Only you and I were at home. How could you have such evil intentions to harm me?
Why!
I am my second brother's own sister! How could you do this to me?
Do you know... I was taken to Shouchun by that Liu Ajiao to serve her as a servant. If I hadn't met my elder sister along the way, if my elder sister and I hadn't managed to escape..."
He Miaomiao wasn't upset at all when Qiao Manman scolded her.
He Miaomiao wiped the tears from her face:
"Yes! I was confused back then. Xiao Qiao, you don't understand my situation. You're not married yet! Sister Da Qiao is the boss at home. Seeing how Grandpa dotes on you and Da Qiao, and is always criticizing his two sons, your marriages have been undecided for so long. I was afraid that if you stayed at home, I would be constantly oppressed by you, so I did something wrong!"
"You only realize you've done something wrong after you've done it! There are all sorts of medicines in the world, but there's no medicine for regret." Qiao Jingjing had already walked over.
She had already heard the commotion outside Qiao Manman's house.
He Miaomiao was still kneeling on the ground, looking haggard, but she had nothing to say to Qiao Jingjing.
She had come to ask the two sisters for help.
Having said so much, I don't want to say any more.
She has been married into the Qiao family for many years. Although she had some conflicts with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, she was sincere towards Qiao Er and filial to her parents.
Now, it seems that fate is trying to tell her this:
She, the married woman with children, is entirely at fault. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who didn't marry and stayed home to upset their elderly mother, are completely innocent.
That's ridiculous.
He Miaomiao started crying and then started laughing.
"No way to undo your mistakes? Da Qiao, do you know that you have something even more palatable to say!"
The day you rescued me from the Liu family, you held my hand.
He said, "From now on, treat Xiao Qiao the same way you treat me."
I was filled with unease at that time, but you treated me the same way you treated Xiao Qiao.
Erlang and Sanlang were cheated out of their family's food. Dad tied them up once, and you scolded them a couple of times. At the time, I thought that was already quite a big deal.
Now it's my turn to be punished for my mistakes.
