Madam Qin's sharp gaze fell on Li Wanjun. "Didn't your etiquette teacher teach you that you shouldn't interrupt elders when they're speaking without their permission, and you certainly shouldn't lay a hand on them?"
Li Wanjun had just raised her hand, intending to pat Old Madam Qin's back, when she awkwardly stopped in mid-air, unsure whether to lower it or retract it.
However, Madam Qin paid no attention to Li Wanjun's embarrassment and continued without giving her any face, "I remember you were invited to our house by Tang Xue, right?"
Now that Tang Xue is no longer at home, shouldn't you go back to your own home too?
Li Wanjun awkwardly twisted her hands together, biting her lip to suppress the humiliation in her heart, and said, "Grandma Qin, it was... it was Brother Qin Huan who asked me to stay as a guest."
Madam Qin frowned slightly. "Since Huan'er asked you to stay as a guest, then you should stay in the second house's courtyard and not wander around unless necessary."
"Yes, Grandma Qin, I understand," Li Wanjun replied weakly.
Next door, Su Xixi and Xiao Ruanruan, the two sisters, were lying on the sofa, their little heads huddled together, discussing something.
"Sister, I think Qin Sihan is annoying, but not that bad. Should we help her?" Xiao Ruanruan asked.
Su Xixi looked utterly shocked. "She even pulled out Grandpa Qin's oxygen tube, and he's still not alright? That's her own grandfather!"
Xiao Ruanruan said with a serious face, "Trying to frame me by pulling out Grandpa Qin's oxygen tube is not an idea that Qin Sihan could come up with."
Sister, do you remember yesterday afternoon when we saw Li Wanjun talking to Qin Sihan for a long time in the yard from the balcony?
"Little Ruanruan, are you saying that Li Wanjun made Qin Sihan do this? No way! If it really was Li Wanjun who made her do it, why didn't she say anything about Li Wanjun even though her hands were swollen from being hit by Grandma Qin?" Su Qianqian looked incredulous.
"I think it's possible that Li Wanjun asked her to do it. We'll find out if that's true or not by asking her," Xiao Ruanruan said, standing up.
Next door, in Madam Qin's room.
Li Wanjun has already left, but Pei Liuxuan is still not giving up.
Little Ruanruan walked over and gently knocked on the door. She poked her little head into Madam Qin's room and asked in a sweet, soft voice, "Grandma Qin, may Ruanruan come in?"
The old lady Qin's originally stern face softened the moment she saw Xiao Ruanruan, and she beckoned to her with a kind smile, "Xiao Ruanruan, come here, come to Grandma."
Little Ruanruan shuffled over and jumped into Old Madam Qin's arms, looking up at her with her chubby little face. "Grandma Qin, is Sister Hanhan locked up in the ancestral hall all by herself?"
Old Madam Qin reached out and gently pinched Xiao Ruanruan's delicate little nose, then deliberately put on a stern face and asked seriously, "What? Even Xiao Ruanruan wants to plead for Hanhan?"
"No!" Little Ruanruan shook her head seriously. "If Sister Hanhan does something wrong, Grandma Qin said how to punish her, and we have to do it."
but……"
Little Ruanruan lowered her head, biting her thumb in a troubled voice, and said, "When Ruanruan was little..."
She had barely begun to speak when Old Madam Qin couldn't help but pinch her cheek to tease her, "Ruan Ruan was little once too?"
After all, it's really interesting to hear a four-year-old talk about his childhood.
"Yes!" Little Ruanruan nodded heavily. "When Ruanruan was little, she was in an orphanage. One day, she was locked in the dark storage room of the orphanage by some naughty older children."
As it slowly got dark, Ruan Ruan became so scared, so very scared…
A flicker of heartache crossed Madam Qin's eyes, and her expression softened even more. "So, little Ruanruan still hopes that Grandma can let Hanhan out tonight, doesn't she?"
Upon hearing Madam Qin's words, Pei Liuxuan looked at Xiao Ruanruan with hopeful eyes.
At this point, as long as Xiao Ruanruan speaks, the old lady will never refuse.
"No!" Little Ruanruan shook her head firmly under Pei Liuxuan's hopeful gaze.
Pei Liuxuan gritted his teeth, and a flash of hatred crossed his hopeful gaze as he looked at Xiao Ruanruan.
That scheming bitch!
It's all her fault that her daughter was punished and locked up in the ancestral hall. Now that things have come to this point, she still refuses to plead for her daughter and ask the old lady to release her.
They're clearly deliberately trying to antagonize her and her daughter!
Although Xiao Ruanruan sensed the change in Pei Liuxuan's gaze, she didn't want to pay attention to it.
She lay on Old Madam Qin's lap like a cute little kitten, letting Old Madam Qin gently stroke her hair.
"Grandma Qin, can Ruanruan go to the ancestral hall to keep Hanhan company? The time Ruanruan was locked in the storage room, it was Brother Shiyu who climbed in through the window to keep her company, and that's why Ruanruan wasn't so scared."
Little Ruanruan's bright, watery eyes were pleading, making it impossible for anyone to refuse her.
Moreover, this is actually the solution that Old Madam Qin wanted.
Qin Sihan hasn't admitted her mistake yet. If she releases Qin Sihan now, it won't have the desired educational effect on Qin Sihan.
However, if Qin Sihan were locked up alone inside, on the one hand, I was worried that she would be frightened, and on the other hand, I was afraid that she would get stuck in a rut and not only would she not realize her mistake, but she would also harbor more resentment.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Xiaoruanruan to keep Hanhan company," Old Madam Qin agreed.
"Thank you, Grandma Qin." After thanking Madam Qin, Xiao Ruanruan stood up and flew out of the room like a happy little bird.
His joyful little face also brought a smile to Old Madam Qin's face.
Madam Qin's smile faded as she looked at Pei Liuxuan. "Eldest daughter-in-law, your father and I are both old and gray now. This family will be yours sooner or later."
To be a good housekeeper, you must first learn to be discerning and distinguish between good and bad people!
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Mother. I understand," Pei Liuxuan replied respectfully.
Old Madam Qin waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
