After the disastrous outcome of the last spoiler, Qin Qingyao really doesn’t dare to speak without restraint anymore.
What's more, what Lin Xiafeng said was just her one-sided statement, and no one knew the specific details.
It's already enough that she has to worry about and grope around by herself now. If Dugu Yu is dragged into this, and he runs around like a headless fly like her, it will only get more chaotic.
But why would Ling Jingxuan marry her? Even if things broke up with Lin Xiafeng, there were plenty of young, beautiful girls from noble families in Yulin City. If he closed his eyes and picked one, it would be more reliable than a married woman, right?
The more Qin Qingyao thought about it, the more confused she became. Could it be that Lin Xiafeng had also been controlled and was talking nonsense? Forget it, the probability of this happening was almost zero!
While Qin Qingyao was still deciding to keep a low profile and wait and see, two major events occurred in Yulin City.
The first major event was that the prince personally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, wanting to marry Lin Xiafeng, the sixth daughter of the Lin family, as his concubine.
This sudden move caught many people off guard, but even more people felt that it was natural. After all, Miss Lin has always been beautiful, intelligent, well-reputed, good character, talented, and has an even better family background.
If she had not been born a concubine, no one would have thought there was anything wrong with her becoming the Crown Princess!
This proposal went exceptionally smoothly, as both Prime Minister Lin and Miss Lin Liu agreed immediately.
Although the Prime Minister's wife wanted her own daughter to take the position of concubine, the Crown Prince had set his sights on Lin Xiafeng.
She would rather marry a concubine's daughter than your legitimate daughter. The eldest lady's face was slapped, but she still had to put on a smile for Lin Xiafeng and pretend to be virtuous to prepare a dowry for her.
I can’t even describe how resentful and aggrieved I felt inside.
The second major event was that Qin Qingsang, the daughter-in-law of the Ming family and the eldest daughter of the Qin family, actually bullied her unmarried sister-in-law in her husband's family. After being scolded by her parents-in-law, she was still not convinced and simply packed up her bags and left to return to her parents' home.
When Lin Xiafeng heard the news, she was looking for the eldest lady to ask for her mother's original dowry. She planned to take everything to the Prince's Mansion, and not a single needle could be missing!
Over the years, the eldest lady had taken away some things from her mother's dowry box. This time, even if she had to sell everything she had, she would have to replenish the list for her.
When she heard that Qin Qingsang had actually gone back to her parents' home directly, she was very disappointed with Ming Ruoxi. In her Ming family's territory, the fighting power was so little?
If Qin Qingsang ran back to the Qin family, how would Ming Ruoxi deal with her in the future? Who knows, in the end, the Ming family might have to go and beg her to go back. What a useless person!
She still had high hopes for Ming Ruoxi and specifically reminded her to go back and build up a good relationship with her sister-in-law!
…
When Qin Qingyao heard the news, she immediately wanted to go home to check on her elder sister. Before she left the house, Hou Hongtu came to her house and gave her two invitations.
It was all about how her eldest sister, Qin Qingsang, abused servants, disrespected her parents-in-law, was mean to her sister-in-law, and didn't allow her husband to take a concubine...
While blaming Qin Qingsang, he also indirectly mentioned the notoriously domineering Princess Wu Ling. Even Madam Qin and the second sister of the Qin family were inexplicably implicated, and their virtues and upbringing were questioned.
It's like the pot comes from the sky while you are sitting at home.
Qin Qingyao was almost furious when she saw the disgusting obscene words and fabricated so-called facts. Isn't it tax-free to spread rumors these days?
Putting aside other things, if her eldest sister did not allow her husband to take a concubine, could it be that the concubines in her eldest brother-in-law's room grew out of the ground?
Each of them described it vividly and realistically, as if they had witnessed with their own eyes how arrogant, unreasonable, and cruel Qin Qingsang was at home. They seemed to want to drown her with their spit!
Qin Qingyao looked at the posts, her hands shaking with anger. The more she read, the more frightened she became. In the original novel, there was no such part about her eldest sister returning to her parents' home in the Qin family.
Could it be that Qin Yuelin and Qin Yuefeng no longer have any black spots, so they have to start with the girls of the Qin family to bring the Qin family down?
With just a few false accusations, are these people too naive, or do they look down on the Qin family?
…
Qin Qingsang is the eldest sister in her mother's family. Qin Yuefeng is the only one in the Qin family who is older than her. When she was a child, she took care of a large group of naughty brothers and sisters, which made her gentle and good-tempered.
After marrying into the Ming family, she and her sister-in-law Ming Ruoxi were not as close as sisters, but at least they were quite kind to each other and had never had a quarrel.
But Ming Ruoxi went out with Prince Duan for a few days this time, and when she came back she seemed like a different person. When she saw her, her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.
Ming Ruoxi deliberately went early in the morning to pay her respects to the elders, and then caught Qin Qingsang and said that she came too late and had a casual attitude, and that she was disrespectful to her parents-in-law?
Please, the men at home haven't gotten off work yet, and she's busy changing diapers and breastfeeding her baby early in the morning. Can she get up like a little girl like you and come over to pay her respects?
During the meal, Ming Ruoxi started to make trouble again. She picked up some food for her parents and said sarcastically that after her daughter got married, no one would remember what they liked to eat and no one would be willing to pick up food for them.
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Qin Qingsang.
Qin Qingsang was so angry that her teeth itched. She was holding the child and hadn't even had time to eat. Is Ming Ruoxi blind? There are so many servants setting the table, aren't they enough for you to order around?
Although she was extremely angry, Qin Qingsang still did not turn against Ming Ruoxi. After all, these were just trivial matters. If she really made a fuss about it, it would be her, as the sister-in-law, who was being petty.
But after a few days, Ming Ruoxi not only did not restrain herself in the slightest because of Qin Qingsang's tolerance, but instead made things even more difficult for her.
Qin Qingsang gave birth to three sons for the Ming family. The eldest was six and a half years old, the third was still in swaddling clothes, and the second died before he was one year old.
The twists and turns are nothing more than backyard fights and children suffering.
So after the third child was born, she did everything by herself. Even though she couldn't take care of her husband because of the child, and had to stay alone in her room every night, she never thought of leaving the child to be taken care of by others.
So the third child doesn’t even have a wet nurse.
The Ming family still hasn't found out how the child died and hasn't given her an explanation.
Therefore, the Ming family also felt guilty towards Qin Qingsang, so they agreed to her decision in taking care of the third child.
But it has been more than seven months, and Ming Ruoxi, a little girl, has taken it upon herself to find a wet nurse for her little nephew?
Qin Qingsang certainly disagreed, and every time the child cried, Ming Ruoxi would jump out and point fingers and speak in a sarcastic tone.
She also accused Qin Qingsang of being spoiled, not acting like a mother, not being able to take good care of her child, causing him to cry all the time, and being very defensive, thinking no one was a good person.
Then she swore that she was the child's biological aunt and the person she hired was absolutely reliable. Qin Qingsang did not hand the child over to the wet nurse because she did not trust her and treated her as an outsider.
Just when Qin Qingsang was about to explode, she added, "If you continue to act like this, and if you end up losing my nephew again, can you afford the compensation?"
The death of a child is a permanent wound in the mother's heart. Ming Ruoxi knew that she was the child's biological aunt, but not only did she not have any mercy on her deceased nephew, she also cursed the seven-month-old baby. How could Qin Qingsang tolerate this!
So, without saying a word or telling anyone, she took her two children and returned to her parents' home empty-handed.
She can give in to anything, but she absolutely cannot allow anyone to touch her child!
Qin Qingsang said nothing at the Ming family, but when she returned to her mother's home and saw her own mother, the grievances in her heart suddenly burst out and she burst into tears.
Although Minister Qin and his wife felt heartbroken, they looked at each other in bewilderment after learning what had happened, feeling completely helpless.
You said that if your parents-in-law or your husband bullied you or treated you badly, your family would stand up for you no matter what, but this little sister-in-law...
Even if their arms are long, they can't control the unmarried girls of the Ming family, right?
If this gets out, no one will care about what grievances you, as the sister-in-law, have suffered. People will only say that you are asking your family to bully your sister-in-law, and you will definitely be labeled as a bad sister-in-law.
Minister Qin and his wife felt extremely upset that they couldn't help their daughter vent her anger, so they let Qin Qingsang and the child stay at the Qin family for the time being.
She will go back when her husband realizes the seriousness of the problem, comes to apologize, admits his mistake and takes her home.
After all, the reason she suffered this injustice, and even Ming Ruoxi wanted to take it out on her children, was because the Ming family didn't value her.
Since they don’t care about the Qin family’s daughter, why should the Qin family care about the Ming family’s reputation!
The daughter-in-law took the child back to her parents' home. Even if this happened in the village, the neighbors would still gossip about it, let alone the lively atmosphere of a high-ranking official's home.
The people watched with great interest, and with the help of those posts on Fenghuaxueyue, this incident soon became a topic of joke among the people of Yulin City after dinner.
Qin Qingyao originally planned to go back to her parents' home to see her sister, but after seeing Fenghuaxueyue's post, she followed Hou Hongtu back to Fenghuaxueyue first.
"Find me all those posts about my big sister right now!"
"Also, Xiao Tiantian, bring some people to watch for me and find out who is spreading rumors and causing trouble. Find out the identities of all those people."
"I want to see whether these people are the Ming family's guards or maids. How can they know so much about the Ming family's affairs?"
Hou Hongtu frowned in worry as he listened to Qin Qingyao's order. "I understand that the princess is concerned about my sister, but we at Fenghuaxueyue have our own rules. If someone doesn't want to show up, we can't deliberately check the identity of the poster."
Otherwise, the pen name would lose its meaning. Who would dare to speak freely in Fenghuaxueyue in the future? Wouldn't that be a blow to one's reputation?
"What the eldest master said is correct, but these people are obviously using our romantic interests to fabricate rumors and slander others. The target of these rumors is my own sister!"
