Chapter 81 She didn’t believe he would hold it in like a turtle
Isn’t it ridiculous?
The grandmother respected by the Qi family was actually adopted from outside the Qi family and was not their biological daughter at all.
This also involved a bloody and ridiculous incident that is hard to be ashamed of.
The Qi Mansion was a good place in the past. The head of the mansion was kind to others. Madam Qi gave birth to four sons, all of whom were filial. In the eyes of outsiders, she was considered to have a perfect life. However, she always felt a little regretful in her heart and wanted to have a daughter to make it perfect.
But life cannot be too full. If it is too full, God will take back some things.
Madam Qi's obsession was too deep, but her body could not give birth again. In order to fulfill his beloved wife's wish, Master Qi adopted a girl from outside and treated her as his own. It was just one more mouth to feed, and the Qi family could afford to support them, right?
This girl is the current Madam Qi.
With such a family and such good-tempered parents, if she lived a good life in the Qi Mansion, she would be loved by everyone in the Qi Mansion because she was the only daughter, and her future life would not be miserable.
But, she is not a good student. I don’t know where she learned that foxy behavior from, and she even had an affair with the fourth young master of the Qi family?
What's even more ridiculous is that her fourth brother is twelve years older than her, a full generation older. To put it bluntly, if Fourth Brother Qi was a few years older, he could have given birth to her and raised her as a daughter.
Such an illicit love affair made Madam Qi so angry that she couldn't get out of bed. She pounded the edge of the bed and regretted her decision. However, the matter was already done and it became a fact. No matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. She could only find a way to cover it up.
The Qi family can't afford to lose face like this.
But what was funny was that Old Madam Qi came up with an idea. She said that she was not an adopted daughter, but a child bride given to Qi Si. Now that she had grown up, she would naturally marry him. In this way, she could not only well explain the love that the Qi family had shown her over the years, but also make up for the adultery.
Only after hearing this did Madam Qi realize how deep her stepdaughter's thoughts were. She actually wanted to bring disaster to her son and the entire Qi family.
An adopted daughter, no matter how pampered she is, will eventually have to get married. But it is different for a daughter-in-law. She can rely on the Qi family for food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But what made Madam Qi even angrier was that her own son, Qi Si, the foolish man who was blinded by beauty, pleaded for her in front of everyone, saying that if she didn't do what she wanted, he would go out and say that he had raped her and bring disaster to the entire Qi family.
Madam Qi fainted again on the spot. When she woke up, the matter was already settled. The adopted daughter became Qi Si's concubine and the situation could not be changed.
Although this secret and scandal caused a sensation at the time, it did not cause much trouble because of this excuse. After so many years, when it reached the ears of Lin Qingjun and others, it had already become an unknown secret.
However, being unknown does not mean that it will not be known. There is no airtight wall in this world, and there is no paper that can cover fire.
She was able to know this because in her previous life, when she went to celebrate Old Madam Qi's birthday, she was punished by Qi and was trapped in a remote backyard. She happened to meet a one-eyed old woman burning paper in a dense bamboo forest.
She only heard her burning paper and crying bitterly as she accused Old Madam Qi of her vicious deeds in the past. Only then did she know the whole story.
At that time, she had not yet discovered Lin Yingxue's viciousness, so she would not take the initiative to mention it. Rather than letting her know that such a scandal had occurred in her maternal grandparents' family, it would be better to keep it in the dark and let her know nothing. This secret has lasted until this life.
Now, she is restraining Lin Yingxue because of this incident. It is quite ridiculous to think about it. This really proves the saying that the boomerang shot out in the past will hit the forehead one day.
Lin Yingxue and Qi would never have imagined this day.
Lin Qingjun raised her head and looked at her father, only to see that there was no surprise on his face. Her eyes flashed slightly, which meant that he also knew about the scandal of Old Madam Qi back then?
Lin Qingjun frowned slightly. If that was the case, then her father was really a master of acting. For so many years, how could he tolerate this old hag meddling in his Lin Mansion?
A long time passed.
Lin Zhi just spoke, "Qingjun, although you are my daughter, there are some things that a father cannot do anything about."
Lin Qingjun was startled and felt a chill on his back again.
She was clearly speaking up for him, but he acted helpless? In other words, if the people in the Qi Mansion knew that she was the one stirring things up today, she would definitely be retaliated by the Qi Mansion, and he would not intervene or protect her, but would just let her be tortured by the Qi Mansion?
Lin Qingjun's fingertips dug deep into his palm, and the coldness in his heart became even colder.
Even though she had never longed for a trace of fatherly love from Lin Zhi since her rebirth, she never expected that not only did he not love her at all, but he would also ruthlessly push her out like a chess piece.
The sourness and bitterness immediately spread from her heart to her limbs, causing her unbearable pain.
She swallowed the bitter saliva and said, "Father, I understand what you mean."
The reason why Madam Qi can be so arrogant towards the Lin family is because she has the support of Princess Chaoyang. If the Qi family is affected, the princess must have an explanation. Her good father will naturally use her to explain in order to appease the princess's anger.
only.
Lin Qingjun curled her lips into a smile and looked at Lin Zhi with burning eyes.
"But father, are you really sure that the eldest princess is very fond of Madam Qi?"
Could it be that she had already long since grown disgusted with this old woman who was trying to repay her kindness? Could it be that she was hoping someone would teach this old lady a lesson for her, who thought she had nursed her for a few days but wanted her to remember her gratitude for a lifetime?
Don't forget, she is the eldest princess, truly precious and the only sister of the emperor. Even if it is to repay a favor, the favor has long been repaid. The Qi family said that they would send several sons to become officials, and she agreed. They said that they would support a grandson-in-law, and she did so. The eldest princess also sent gifts to Madam Qi's annual birthday banquet every year.
Isn’t this enough?
Moreover, the eldest princess has been giving it to him for so many years. Isn't this enough? What else does she, Old Lady Qi, want?
Giving gifts every year is even more frequent than giving gifts to the old queen mother. What will the old queen mother think? Will they be happy?
Giving it once or twice as a token of appreciation would be fine, but she wants it every year? Where in the world is there such a clueless person?
The corners of Lin Qingjun's lips darkened, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.
"Love in this world is the most fragile thing. I said this for your own good. Of course, I am just a person from the harem and don't understand the affairs of the court. I am just putting myself in the eldest princess's shoes. Father, please don't take it seriously."
She bit the last four words very hard.
She dared to guarantee that the more she told him not to take it seriously, the more Lin Zhi would take it seriously.
He is such a conceited and cautious person. Moreover, he has been suppressed by the Qi family for so many years. She doesn't believe that he would be like a turtle and hold it in forever.
