Chapter 100 Coldness

Over there in the main house.

Song Xiu went to find Song Jin, and old Mrs. Liu found out.

I was worried that Song Jin would come to seek justice for Song Xiu, but after waiting for most of the day, there was no movement.

Old Liu secretly pondered the reason.

He thought that although Song Jin was Song Xiu's sister, she was also the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family. It was impolite to question the elders. Since ancient times, the younger generation had no power over the elders.

Thinking of this, Old Liu immediately stood up again.

Just wanted to go out in a rage.

Old Man Qin warned at this time, "If you dare to cause trouble for me and disturb my family, watch out for your skin."

Old Liu was so frightened that she trembled and said, "You damn old man, when did I cause any trouble?"

"Wait until Si'er comes back and see how you're going to explain it to him."

Old Man Qin's words really stumped Old Mrs. Liu.

Old Liu was embarrassed but refused to give in. "It was Song Xiu herself who failed to keep the baby. What does it have to do with me? Every young wife in the village works hard every day. Only she is precious."

"You can just keep talking tough, but you know what you did."

"What did you do?! I didn't do anything!"

Old Liu retorted in a timid manner.

When he met Old Man Qin's angry eyes, he suddenly became silent and turned his head away in panic without looking at him.

Old Man Qin said gloomily, "Are you sure that I dare not send you back to your parents' home?"

"I'm already so old, but I'm being sent back to my parents' home. Will I still be able to survive? If this gets out, will the Qin family's reputation be ruined? Will Si'er's reputation be ruined? He's going to take the imperial examination next year."

Old Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she shrank her neck, and her voice was trembling at the end of her speech.

On the night Song Xiu had a miscarriage, Old Man Qin beat Old Liu severely and made her lie in bed for three days.

In fact, Mrs. Liu knew it clearly.

If it weren't for his bad reputation, Old Man Qin would have wanted to send her back to her parents' home long ago.

No matter how bad Mrs. Liu was, she still attached great importance to her offspring.

But she failed to control Song Xiu, and instead caused her to have a miscarriage. Old Liu also regretted it. But she would not admit it no matter how much she regretted it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be confirmed that it was her fault? How could she hold her head up in this family in the future? Besides, Song Xiu learned that Qin Mingsong had not returned home for a long time because he took the beauty to Huangshan to see the rime. She said she didn't believe it, but she was greatly shocked.

He didn't leave the room for several days.

All the food was sent by Qin Daya.

If it’s not sent to her, Song Xiu won’t eat it.

He seemed to not care about starving to death, so the Qin family couldn't just ignore it.

Qin Mingsong returned home in the snow and wind.

He originally thought that someone would come to greet him, but unexpectedly, when he stepped into the yard, even Old Mrs. Liu did not come out, so he had to come in carrying the boxes by himself.

Qin Mingsong went to push the door of his house first.

I pushed it a few times, but it didn't open.

He knocked on the door instead, but there was no response for a long time.

"Xiu'er? Xiu'er isn't here?" Qin Mingsong called a few times, but no one inside responded to him.

I knocked on the door again, but still no response.

Someone finally showed up from the main room. It was Old Liu, who came out wearing cotton shoes. "Fourth son, are you back? Come to the main room and warm yourself up. It's too cold outside. Come in quickly."

Qin Mingsong walked over puzzled.

I looked around the main room, and the doors of the second and third rooms were all tightly locked, and no one came out.

Carrying his own boxes and cages into the main house.

Old Liu closed the door and the room became much warmer. Qin Mingsong relaxed and walked over to the charcoal basin in front of Old Man Qin and sat down.

Then he stretched out his hands and warmed them in front of the charcoal brazier.

Old Liu went to pour a cup of warm water.

Qin Mingsong took it and drank a few sips, "Dad and Mom, is everyone else at home okay?"

"Everyone is fine, except your wife."

Old man Qin said this with a hint of meaning.

Old Man Qin had already heard about Qin Mingsong's trip to Huangshan to see the winter scenery. He learned it from Song Xiu.

And Song Xiu said it was said by Song Jin.

Therefore, Old Man Qin had no doubt about the authenticity of the news.

Because of this, even he felt a little chilled.

Regarding Song Xiu's miscarriage, Old Man Qin asked someone to write a letter to Qin Mingsong.

If he didn't know, Qin Mingsong's late return wouldn't be a big deal.

Even though he knew that his wife had lost their child, Qin Mingsong was still in the mood to travel.

This is a bit cold and indifferent.

Qin Mingsong's face changed slightly, and he even stopped drinking hot water. He quickly found an excuse and said helplessly:

"Dad, I am going to Huangshan with a few of my schoolmates. Among them is the son of the prefect's wife and the son of the headmaster. As you know, most of the students who can study at Ziyang Academy are from wealthy families. I can't refuse their kind invitation. Besides, making friends with them will be of great benefit to my future."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Old Man Qin nodded.

He agreed with his son's approach.

When choosing between a better future and a wife who suffers, most men will choose the former.

Old Man Qin said, "Go down and comfort your wife."

"My son will."

Qin Mingsong knew that his father accepted his statement.

He then looked at Old Liu.

He found that Old Liu was very quiet today. "How is Mother? Is your waist, which was injured last time, feeling better?"

"Okay, everything is fine."

Old Liu didn't dare to say more.

Old Man Qin did not say much. When he wrote to Qin Mingsong, he simply mentioned a few words about Song Xiu's miscarriage, but did not elaborate on how it happened.

Therefore, Qin Mingsong still doesn’t know that Song Xiu’s pregnancy is lost, which has a lot to do with Old Liu.

Qin Mingsong stood up again and knocked on Song Xiu's door.

But Song Xiu never opened the door.

When Old Liu saw this, she got furious and went to the door and started banging on it. "You bitch, you didn't even open the door when your man came back. Are you planning to rebel?"

"Mom, could you stop swearing?"

Qin Mingsong spoke up to stop Old Liu.

Old Liu paused and cursed, "Fourth son, isn't this for your own good? It's just a miscarriage, isn't it? How dare you turn your face away? I also had miscarriages when I was young, but I never dared to let your father get angry with me."

In this world, it is common for women to have miscarriages or for children to die at birth. For example, Mrs. Lin had suffered two miscarriages.

No matter how the mother and son quarrel outside.

This time, Song Xiu unexpectedly did not open the door.

Even Song Jin looked at him with a new respect.

Little Liu was so curious at home that she couldn't help but sneak over to Song Jin and said, "Dear Dalang, do you think his aunt will open the door?"

"I don't know about that."

I'm not lying, Song Jin really doesn't know.

Song Xiu is much more experienced than her in dealing with men.

Qin Chi sat aside flipping through a book, and from time to time he would look up at Song Jin and Xiao Liu huddled together, whispering gossip.

A beautiful lady with a pure and elegant temperament.

A simple country woman.

The two people get together, they don't match at all, yet they are strangely harmonious.

This made Qin Chi unable to help but spread out a piece of white paper.

Then he bent over his desk and picked up his pen to describe the scene before him in detail.
