However, it was clear that Madam Qin was overjoyed too soon.
When it was time for lunch, the mansion was peaceful and quiet all morning.
Madam Qin was in a very good mood and thought she should eat more for lunch.
But as she watched the food brought up by the servants, Madam Qin's face slowly twisted in pain.
"What are all these things?"
Madam Qin pointed to a black mass and a blue mass on the table.
Several dishes were served, but none of them were recognizable to Madam Qin.
Pei Zhi brought up the last dish.
"Mother, why aren't you eating?"
Pei Zhi placed a plate of still-wriggling insects on the table.
Women are afraid of such writhing things, and even Madam Qin is no exception.
Madam Qin took two steps back, holding the hand of the maid beside her, and asked after she had stopped, "What is this?"
"Mother, didn't you say you weren't feeling well?"
"After returning to her room, the daughter thought it over and decided to cook a sumptuous lunch for her mother herself."
"I guarantee that after your mother finishes eating this, she will feel much better."
Madam Qin's mouth trembled slightly. After eating all the dishes on the table, she felt not only physically comfortable, but also incredibly relaxed.
I'm afraid she's going to meet the King of Hell.
"Why would a young lady like you cook?"
"What if you accidentally hurt your hand or burn your face?"
"The cooks do all the work in the manor. If you take their jobs away, what will they do?"
After pretending to complain, Madam Qin deliberately let out a burp.
"You've served the food a little late. I just had a lot of tea and snacks, so I'm not hungry at all."
Pei Zhi's face immediately filled with a look of frustration.
"Mother, is it because you see what your daughter made that you don't want to eat it?"
Madam Qin hurriedly said, "How could that be?"
"The main problem is that Mom isn't hungry at all right now, so she can't eat anything."
"If Mother isn't really hungry, how about she tries a little of each dish?"
Madam Qin protested, "I'm already feeling unwell, I really can't eat anymore."
Madam Qin thought to herself, "Since she has said all that, if this wretched girl has any humanity left, she shouldn't force her anymore, right?"
Who would have thought that Madam Qin had underestimated this wretched girl?
"Even if Mother isn't hungry, won't she at least try a bite since her daughter cooked it herself?"
"Where in the world is there a mother like this, who doesn't appreciate her daughter's feelings at all?"
Madam Qin was thoroughly exasperated by what she was being said.
In other matters, Madam Qin remembered Mr. Qin's instructions and yielded.
But there was nothing on the table that Madam Qin could possibly eat, even if she were beaten to death.
"Mother is really not feeling well, it's not that she doesn't want to eat."
Pei Zhi snorted, grabbed her skirt, turned around, and ran away.
"Madam, what if that girl goes back and causes trouble?"
Madam Qin snorted, "Let her make a scene, as long as she doesn't go out."
Madam Qin looked at the things on the table again, "Hurry up, hurry up, throw all this away, it makes me sick just looking at it."
Madam Qin, still somewhat shaken, instructed, "Next time, no matter what, you absolutely must not let her go into the kitchen again."
"If I refuse this time, it won't be so easy next time."
Madam Qin ordered her servants to quickly prepare a sumptuous lunch and send it over, as she was extremely hungry.
During lunch, Madam Qin listened to what the servants were saying.
After returning to the courtyard, the girl smashed and wrecked the place.
Having just escaped death, Madam Qin had no time to feel sorry for the decorations.
"Let her do whatever she wants, smash it if she wants."
Madam Qin pondered whether she should find an excuse to hide away for a few days.
This wretched girl is really too difficult to deal with; Madam Qin is truly exhausted.
It wasn't until evening that Mr. Qin returned home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Pei Zhi making a scene in the yard, packing her bags and trying to run away from home.
"What's going on? Where is Madam?"
"I just sent someone to inform Madam, but she hasn't arrived yet."
Master Qin didn't care about anything else, "My dear daughter, what's wrong? Where do you want to go?"
Pei Zhi shouted, "This is not my home at all, and you are not my parents. I don't want to stay here."
Master Qin's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Master Qin's eyes held a probing look: "If we are not your parents, then who are your parents?"
Pei Zhi roared, "I don't know, but it wasn't you!"
When Master Qin saw that the girl didn't remember, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? Have you suffered some grievances at home?"
"My mother said she wasn't feeling well today."
"I thought I would cook a meal for my mother myself to make her happy and help her get better."
Pei Zhi pouted and said, "But your daughter worked so hard to prepare a whole table of dishes, and your mother didn't even taste a single bite."
Pei Zhi questioned, "Where in the world could you find a mother like this?"
Madam Qin rushed over and heard the girl complaining about her.
Lady Qin felt a wave of dizziness; she was even more wronged than Dou E.
Master Qin looked at Madam Qin and asked, "Is this really true?"
"Yes, that is true, but sir, please listen to me!"
“Look, she admitted it. If she were my own mother, she wouldn’t do this.”
"Also, I was so busy today that I didn't even have lunch, and my mother didn't send anyone to check on me."
"If she really cared about me, why didn't she send someone to ask if I had eaten lunch?"
With a stern face, Mr. Qin asked, "Were you aware that she didn't eat lunch?"
Madam Qin was now truly feeling guilty.
She was so tormented by this wild girl that she no longer wanted to hear what was coming from her room.
Therefore, Madam Qin truly did not know whether the girl had eaten lunch or not.
Seeing Madam Qin's guilty look, Master Qin immediately understood.
And now, this girl is making a huge scene, clearly indicating that without an explanation, this matter is not going to end well.
"See?" Pei Zhi pointed at Madam Qin. "If she were my own mother, how could she not care about me and treat me with such indifference?"
Master Qin said loudly, "You guessed right, she is indeed not your biological mother."
Madam Qin suddenly looked up at Master Qin, not understanding what he was planning to do.
"She is not your biological mother. In fact, your biological mother has already passed away."
"When I was sent to serve as an official in a remote area, I met your biological mother."
"I had a sweet time with her."
"But fate was unkind. After I brought her back to the manor, she died of grief not long after giving birth to you."
Pei Zhi listened with a frown, "So, my real mother isn't her, and my real mother died a long time ago?"
Master Qin nodded: "Yes."
"How could a perfectly healthy person die of depression?"
Pei Zhi suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at Madam Qin, "It must be because you were jealous of my mother that you killed her!"
