Chapter 34 Mother, Don’t Leave
At this time, many people from the Governor's Office were unable to evacuate.
Hearing the crying and clamoring here, the people who were gathering to search the Governor's Office turned their heads and looked over here.
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows when she saw this scene and looked down at her two stepsons.
Yan Yunrui's expression was very fake, he pretended to cry and scream loudly, and it was obvious that he had no acting skills.
But Yan Yunyue... the little girl who was only eight years old was crying so miserably and sadly, as if Qin Mingzhu's departure was like taking her life.
Qin Mingzhu did not push them away.
In full view of everyone, the two children just grabbed her clothes to prevent her from leaving and did not dare to do anything out of line.
"Mother really can't bear to leave you. How about you two come with me to stay at the General's Mansion for a while?"
After hearing Qin Mingzhu's gentle words, the two children's crying instantly became much quieter.
Yan Yunyue blinked in confusion, forgetting how to respond for a moment.
Grandmother only told them to try their best to stop Qin Mingzhu and not let her leave the Marquis' Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mingzhu actually asked to take them away.
"I……"
Qin Mingzhu looked at Yan Yunyue earnestly.
"Yue'er is the best. You probably haven't been to my mother's house yet. There are a lot of good things there. I'll take you back this time and see if there's anything you like. I'll give it all to you, okay?"
Her smile grew gentler.
But when he saw that smiling face and remembered the slap Qin Mingzhu had given him not long ago, Yan Yunyue's young heart felt a sense of panic.
Children are sensitive and they already know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.
"If I don't go and leave the Marquis' Mansion, you...you will beat me!"
Qin Mingzhu became unhappy when she heard this.
There were many people watching around, how could she be exposed?
"Yue'er said I hit you? If I really hit you, why would you be so reluctant to let me leave? When did you learn to lie, girl? This won't do."
"I...I didn't lie!"
There was a loophole in Yan Yunyue's words, and she couldn't explain it for a moment.
But she just felt that Qin Mingzhu's words made her very uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"You still don't admit it? Then I'll punish you by not allowing you to eat sweets for a month."
Although it was called a punishment, Qin Mingzhu's tone sounded like she was joking with her daughter.
Coupled with the reputation Qin Mingzhu had accumulated in the past, many people smiled and looked away.
Yan Yunyue stood there, looking at Qin Mingzhu with a cold look in her eyes. Even though she was young, she understood that Qin Mingzhu in front of her was not easy to deal with.
However, Qin Mingzhu's voice was like a death warrant.
"You two, are you going to leave with me, or stay?"
Yan Yunrui spoke, the young boy's voice was cold and hard.
"Grandmother said that you must stay and not leave the mansion."
Qin Mingzhu looked directly at her stepson, her eyes flickering slightly.
To be able to become the top scholar in the future, Yan Yunrui cannot be unintelligent.
Ten-year-old Yan Yunrui is actually very smart and has a lot of ideas, but he seems a little taciturn on weekdays.
He kept all his little thoughts to himself, and was as cold-hearted, sinister and vicious as his father.
If she had not dodged that day, and a child of Yan Yunrui's age had hit her hard, her already weak body would have been in even greater danger.
This is a very dangerous and ruthless character. Don't look at his young age, he has a very vicious heart. Yan Yunyue is vicious in public, but this kid is vicious in private.
Qin Mingzhu did not respond directly, but smiled and asked: "Without mentioning your grandmother, what do you think, do you want me to stay or leave?"
Yan Yunrui stared at her with dark eyes.
Suddenly, he said with a bit of viciousness: "I hope you get out and never come back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became quiet.
Chunhua's eyes turned red with anger.
"Young Master, how can you speak to Madam like that!"
Qin Mingzhu pulled Chunhua, but she was not angry at all, and even the smile on her lips did not change.
Madam Qin and General Qin frowned and looked at Yan Yunrui with unfriendly expressions.
However, the two knew that this was a family affair of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and it was not convenient for them to interfere.
But seeing my daughter being bullied by the children left by my original wife, I can't help but feel even more uncomfortable.
Qin Mingzhu said to Yan Yunrui, "After all, I am your father's legitimate wife, carried into the family in a sedan chair, and I am also your legal mother. The way you speak to me shows that your mother didn't teach you well. If outsiders see this, it will only bring shame to your biological mother, do you understand?"
Her voice was calm, neither anxious nor impatient.
It was very different from what Yan Yunrui had imagined, where he saw the other party getting angry and furious, or even going crazy to hit him.
Qin Mingzhu's casual words made him feel embarrassed and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing him silent, Qin Mingzhu's smile deepened.
Yan Yunrui has always been obsessed with his biological mother who has passed away for several years and respects her very much. As long as she makes a fuss about his biological mother, it is like strangling his lifeline.
"Your mother passed away early, and she didn't allow you to study more and learn some etiquette, integrity, benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety. If you don't want people to look down on your mother, you should at least respect me, your stepmother."
Yan Yunrui was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Why should he respect a woman who stole his father from his own mother?
"You don't deserve it!"
Qin Mingzhu shook her head helplessly.
He had an expression that said, "This child is incorrigible."
"You're not a child anymore. I've always said I'd find a way to send you to the Imperial College, but I was wrong. How could the Imperial College accept a student like you? Your character alone wouldn't be enough. Yunrui, you're not young anymore. Don't make the mistake."
Yan Yunrui wanted to say something else.
When mentioning the Imperial College, Madam Yan's voice was heard again.
"Yunrui, shut up and talk to your mother properly!"
Hearing his grandmother's voice, Yan Yunrui lowered his head in front of Qin Mingzhu with red eyes.
Qin Mingzhu smiled and put her hand on his head, rubbing it hard.
Yan Yunrui hated it most when someone touched his head, so he subconsciously slapped his hand. However, Qin Mingzhu retracted her hand at the right time, and the slap landed right on the top of his head.
Qin Mingzhu almost laughed out loud.
She certainly did this on purpose.
"Don't hit yourself. You were quite smart, but you've become stupid."
This tone was obviously mocking, and it made Yan Yunrui, the proud young man, blush immediately.
His shoulders were heaving with anger, and he was breathing desperately, as if there was a violent temper hidden deep in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Qin subconsciously pulled her daughter.
A ten-year-old child is already quite tall. In addition, Yan Yunrui eats well and develops early, so his height reaches the tip of Qin Mingzhu's nose.
If a child of this age gets angry, it is inevitable that he will hurt Qin Mingzhu.
However, Qin Mingzhu was not afraid at all.
Even if she was pregnant and mentally prepared, she had practiced martial arts with her father for several years and was so skilled that a child could not hurt her.
That time, Yan Yunyue was caught off guard by the accident.
"Are you too timid to leave the Marquis' Mansion with me?"
Yan Yunrui was already extremely angry, and this provocation made him even more excited.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who dares? I'll follow you now!"
