"If there's a problem, it needs to be solved as soon as possible. If my sister-in-law keeps living outside and doesn't come back, won't their relationship be ruined?"
The two elders were talking, and Ming Ruoxi, a little girl, kept interrupting them. It was really annoying. Now she was accusing her, as the mother-in-law, of destroying their relationship?
Mrs. Qin was so angry that her chest heaved violently, but the man was just a junior and his mother was sitting next to him. If she made a fuss about it, it would be beneath her dignity, but if she didn't, she would be very angry.
At this time, Qin Qingyao finally spoke, "Miss Ming said that there is a problem between your eldest brother and my sister? What problem? So, it is your eldest brother who irritated my sister and brought her anger back to her mother's house?"
"Then why did you just say that my sister wanted to go back to her parents' home and you couldn't stop her? Which of your words is true and which is false?"
"Or is it that in the Ming family, your family members are also like this, relying on their two mouths to make up their minds and say whatever they want?"
Madam Ming, "We elders are talking, how can you, a married girl, interrupt?"
"You mean to say that unmarried women can butt in? I, the princess, can't even criticize a little girl from your family. Madam Ming, do you have any opinions about our Wuling Palace?"
Madam Ming was choked to the point of being speechless. Ming Ruoxi's handkerchief was almost torn to pieces. Damn it, marrying well is so great, right? You Qin family are really going too far!
Looking at Qin Qingyao's arrogant face, Ming Ruoxi recalled the humiliation of being punished to work in the paddy fields. She was almost fainting from the scorching sun and almost vomiting from the smell of farm fertilizer...
She didn't know how she managed to get through it!
Qin Qingsang has just come to this point, and you are already feeling distressed and anxious?
Haha, Qin Qingyao, you can be arrogant in front of me, but I will repay your elder sister tenfold or a hundredfold whatever you treat me, so that you can see whether I, Ming Ruoxi, am easy to bully!
Madam Ming took a few deep breaths, and after recovering herself, she spoke again, "Since you, Madam Qin, insist on not letting Qingsang go home with us, then we can't hinder your deep love for mother and daughter, right? However, we will not trouble you to take care of our Ming family's grandson. Bring the child out, and we'll take our leave!"
Madam Qin covered her mouth and smiled. "So, mother-in-law, you are here to take the three of them back to the Ming family? You should have told me earlier. I thought you came here just to cause trouble."
Mrs. Qin stopped smiling and changed the subject, "None of them will leave. Please go back. Goodbye!"
Madam Ming slapped the armrest of her chair and said, "Are you determined to detain my two grandsons here?"
"Detain? You're the child's grandmother, and I'm his maternal grandmother. If your family really cares about the child, why don't you find him some random wet nurse without Qingsang's permission? Do you want this tragedy to happen again?"
"You don't feel sorry for the child, but I do. If you want to leave, hurry up and don't be so hypocritical in front of me. It's disgusting!"
Madam Ming glared at Ming Ruoxi, and her tone finally softened. "Mother-in-law, it was Ruoxi who was making a fuss. Don't worry, I'll get rid of those two wet nurses when I get back. As long as Qingsang has enough milk and the child doesn't starve, we won't do anything rash."
Mrs. Qin looked at the mother and daughter, feeling really angry and helpless. They said everything nicely to me, but who knows how they will treat my daughter when they go back?
If you were really so sensible and willing to negotiate, would Qingsang be so angry that she would take the child back to her parents' home?
Perhaps Mrs. Ming also thought of the grandson she had lost, so she felt a little guilty. She was no longer aggressive and domineering, but walked slowly and would not leave until she saw the person.
When Madam Qin was almost at the end of her temper, Qin Qingsang arrived with her two children. "Mother, mother-in-law, I'm sorry. It's Qingsang's fault for not being sensible. I've caused you all so much worry. I just came back with the children to visit. I have no quarrel with Zhengyan. I'm going back with mother-in-law now."
"Qingsang!" Mrs. Qin obviously disapproved, but she could not stand Qin Qingsang's firm attitude. She was a sensible person and would not do anything that would cause unhappiness between the two families for her own selfish reasons.
She didn't want anyone to lose face or be laughed at by others.
Qin Qingyao felt that something bad was going to happen when she saw her elder sister come out. She had no idea what people were saying about her outside. The matter had not been investigated clearly yet. If you go back now, wouldn’t you be asking for trouble?
Seeing that Qin Qingsang had made up her mind, Qin Qingyao could only compromise and first ensure that the Ming family would not bully her again.
"Sister, since you've made up your mind, let's talk about what you've been wronged about in the Ming family today while mother and your mother-in-law are here. Otherwise, if you go back confused, people will think you're a weak-tempered person who's easy to bully!"
Ming Ruoxi, "How can you talk like that? It's not certain who is bullying whom!"
"you……"
Qin Qingsang grabbed Qin Qingyao and said, "Alright, little sister, stop talking. Ruoxi, don't be angry. I haven't been wronged, and no one has bullied me. This is my fault. Stop arguing over me."
Ming Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Qin Qingyao and snorted triumphantly. Seeing her face, Qin Qingyao knew that she would continue to make trouble after returning!
But it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Her eldest sister insisted on going back, and she couldn't hold her back.
When Qin Qingyao saw the group of people leaving the Qin family, he was so angry that he kicked the pillar.
Dugu Yu quickly pulled the man back, "Are you stupid? Does your foot hurt?"
"My feet don't hurt, my head hurts! You didn't see how proud Ming Ruoxi was just now. I have a feeling she's full of bad intentions. She's definitely going to make trouble for my eldest sister when she gets home!"
"So what do you want to do? Go to the Ming family and look after your elder sister?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"That's right. If Big Sister needs help, we will certainly help her at all costs. But if she doesn't need our help, and you insist on getting involved, won't it make her even more embarrassed in the Ming family?"
Qin Qingyao knew that what Dugu Yu said made sense, but she felt a little upset. "I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I feel like Ming Ruoxi has become a different person. The way she looked at me today is really hard to describe."
"What do you mean by a changed person?"
"Uh... nothing much, she just doesn't look like a good person!"
Minister Qin let his spineless eldest daughter run away without paying attention. Before the matter was sorted out and the Ming family had given no explanation, she ran back on her own. What a fate to be bullied!
Minister Qin was furious and muttered, "A daughter who's married off is like spilled water. If you get mad at someone outside, don't go back to your parents' house. It's annoying!"
Qin Qingyao, "Dad, I'm still standing here."
Minister Qin, "I'm talking about you!"
Who did I offend?
Qin Qingyao slapped Dugu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Did you hear that? If you dare to make me angry, my father will take this basin of water back from me and won't give it to you anymore!"
Dugu Yu, "I heard it."
Minister Qin, “…”
The couple had lunch at Qin's house, and at least they managed to appease Minister Qin.
The main reason was that their eldest sister was a very gentle and virtuous person. After being married for seven or eight years, this was the first time she was so angry that she went back to her parents' home to cry. So the Qin family felt that things must not be that simple.
People wanted to support her and ask for justice with good intentions, but she bowed her head first. She didn't want any conflict between the two families, and she didn't want others to laugh at her. Everyone in the Qin family understood.
But even at this time, he was still so filial, sensible, and concerned about the overall situation, which made the Qin family even more angry and upset.
…
When Qin Qingyao and Dugu Yu returned to the palace, they felt that the atmosphere in the mansion seemed a bit depressing. The servants all lowered their heads and the atmosphere was solemn.
"What's going on? What happened in the mansion?"
"Princess, Aunt Baiji is back...back."
Qin Qingyao suddenly felt much happier. "Finally this girl came back. I thought she was lost!"
After she finished speaking, she went straight back to the yard to find Baiji. She hadn't seen her for so many days and she really missed that girl.
She walked so fast that she didn't see the red eyes of the little maid who answered her when she raised her head.
Dugu Yu frowned and looked at the person in front of him, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, Aunt Baiji has passed away."
Dugu Yu was stunned for a moment and then hurried to chase Qin Qingyao. As soon as Qin Qingyao entered the yard, he heard Bai Zhi's heart-wrenching cry. There were many people standing in the yard. Zhao Jinghan was also standing at the door of Bai Ji's room, like a pillar, motionless.
Qin Qingyao had a very bad premonition in her heart, but refused to believe it. "Jinghan, what's wrong? Why are they crying? Who has been wronged? Tell me, I will help you get justice."
Zhao Jinghan was speechless as he looked at Qin Qingyao's self-deceiving face pretending to be strong. Just as Qin Qingyao was about to enter the house, Dugu Yu, who had followed her, grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't look at Qingqing..."
"Let me go!" Qin Qingyao pushed Dugu Yu away and walked in stiffly. She saw the corpse lying straight on the bed, and Bai Zhi, who was crying beside the corpse and almost fainting.
Baiji's eyes had turned into two black blood holes at this time, and her face was covered with blood stains that covered her originally fair face, making it almost impossible to recognize her appearance.
Qin Qingyao's legs went weak and Dugu Yu supported her. "Okay, stop looking. I promise, I will catch the murderer and give her justice."
This was the first time Qin Qingyao had seen a corpse since she came here. Dugu Yi thought she would be frightened and would not dare to look at it again.
But Qin Qingyao just swayed, stood firm, pushed him away again and walked to the bed.
"Bletilla striata..."
Qin Qingyao held Baiji's wrist gently with trembling hands. The cold touch of her palm made her tears burst instantly.
Baiji's body was already emitting a foul smell, and the sockets of his eyes were particularly severely rotten. He was bleeding so much that it was obvious that he was blinded by a blunt object while he was still alive.
How painful it must have been for her then...
