Inside the courtyard, the servants all hung their heads, afraid of being implicated by their masters in the palace. Qingya's hoarse and desperate accusations made the governess and maids around her tremble with fear.
They were considered part of the second batch of candidates. At the beginning, Fei Yanggu replaced some irresponsible nannies and maids, and all the people left by Qingya's biological mother were laid off by Fei Yanggu.
Back then, when Jue Luo saw that Qingya was only a few years old, she made up her mind to teach her well. Children don't remember things, and as long as she put her heart into it, even if she wasn't her biological daughter, there shouldn't be much of a barrier between them.
At this moment, she wished she had never raised the child at all. Her actions and words surprised Fei Yanggu. "Jue Luo, it seems you're even making up stories about your own daughter?"
Qingyan lowered her head, inwardly cursing, while Qingya used the dumbest method to resist.
Outside the palace, how many servants were sent by Kangxi? Fei Yanggu had a mental record of the situation. It wasn't just that Jue Luo Shi was instigating things; Qingya should remember the punishment her own mother had suffered.
Back then, he never hid the punishment of his concubines from his children, and now, he's finally getting his comeuppance. Qingya, with her neck stiff and a righteous expression, looked at Fei Yanggu and the others. Jue Luo Shi still had feelings for Qingya and hoped that Fei Yanggu would let her up first.
Looking at Qingya's appearance, Yin couldn't help but feel sorry for Qingyan. Even if you were to raise a dog, such kindness would make the dog wag its tail, right? Now, Qingya is a snake.
"Little darling, I'll let it go this time. But next time, no matter what this woman begs you for, you're not allowed to interfere!" Yin's deep voice made Jue Luo Shi pause. Was Yin deciding to give up on Qing Ya?
No!
Jue Luo Shi understood that if she didn't take good care of Qing Ya, she would have no last shield left.
"Qingyan, your sister is just angry, she doesn't care about your favor." Jue Luo Shi turned her attention to Qingyan, of the three people present, Qingyan was the easiest to fool.
Yin tugged at Qingyan's sleeve, urging her to pay close attention.
"Father, let it go. I don't want our family to be ridiculed by outsiders anymore!" Qingyan recalled that when Fei Yanggu took her to work outside the new residence, Ulanara was subjected to cold words and sarcastic remarks.
Now that she's grown up, she's learned to accept this kind of loss.
Yin looked at Qingyan with heartache. It was clearly none of Qingyan's business, yet he was being asked to swallow this insult.
"With Father here, Little Darling, don't say anything!" Fei Yanggu angrily looked at Luo Shi. What they needed to solve was Qingya's problem, what did it have to do with Qingyan?
Jue Luo's eyes narrowed. Fei Yanggu was angry again. Usually, she wouldn't care much. Fei Yanggu always made a lot of noise but did little. This time, she probably wouldn't let him off easily.
"Are you even a mother? If you can't treat your two daughters equally, then don't come looking for Qingyan anymore. You only remember that Qingyan is your daughter when you want something. Where were you when she was being bullied?" Fei Yanggu looked at her angrily.
Qingya secretly regretted her words. Why did she have to voice her resentment? Fei Yanggu was never usually this angry. Could it be that the rumors she spread had been used against her?
Jue Luo was stunned. She had taken extra care of Qing Ya, but she had not looked down on Qing Yan!
etc!
At this moment, Jue Luo remembered that she had handed over one-tenth of her network of contacts to Qing Ya. Could it be that these people had done something?
"My lord, I treat both daughters the same!" Jue Luo said confidently.
She divided her network of contacts into four parts: one-tenth was a reward for Qingya's companionship over the years, one-fifth was for Qingyan, since she was her biological daughter, and the remainder would be divided in two and given to her two sons.
Such a distribution certainly wouldn't cause any trouble; the Jue Luo clan was quite pleased with themselves, thinking they had done an excellent job. How could this be...?
“Foolish woman, there are many rumors about Xiao Guai outside, and they are being spread from your dowry!” Fei Yanggu saw that Jue Luo Shi was not clear about it, and he understood what was going on.
Outsiders, unaware of the inside story, would certainly assume that Jue Luo was retaliating against Qing Yan. It's common knowledge that the mother and daughter don't get along. Qing Ya is planning to escalate the conflict between the mother and daughter to a certain level, deliberately sowing discord between them.
"Qingya, you did this, didn't you?" Jue Luo looked at her illegitimate daughter, whom she had devoted herself to teaching. She had used the same teaching methods on her younger sister. Should she laugh or cry?
Qingya lowered her head. Her father had actually said it out loud. How could she possibly speak up for herself? Her mother would definitely no longer believe her. What should she do?
A series of questions surfaced in Qingya's mind. She didn't want to remain passive forever. It seemed that it was time to fight back.
"Mother, I won't treat my sister like that." Qingya looked at Feiyanggu and Jueluo through teary eyes. She absolutely could not bear this infamy, otherwise, things would be even more difficult to explain. Qingyan and Yin, however, saw a scheming glint in her eyes.
Qingyan had long since given up hope on this half-sister. In the past, Qingya always said ambiguous things in front of her, deliberately sowing discord between them. If Qingyan hadn't had a heart transplant, she would definitely have become estranged from the Jueluo clan.
After several attempts to sow discord failed, Qingya changed her strategy and went to show off in front of the Jueluo clan, completely outshining Qingyan.
As time went by, Jue Luo Shi believed that Qing Ya genuinely appreciated her, while Qing Yan's feelings were somewhat different.
“Isn’t that right?” Yin asked in return.
A few days ago, Yin received a message from his secret guards that Li Liuyan's intentions outside were only known to Qingya. He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Fei Yanggu about it. It seems that Fei Yanggu had already discovered it, but just didn't want to say more.
Qingya's back began to break out in a cold sweat. How did Yin know? She glanced at Fei Yanggu out of the corner of her eye, whose face was even more gloomy.
"Qingya, is your mother not good to you? Why do you cause such a commotion in the family!" Jue Luo was very disappointed. Of all her children, only Qingya was someone she had raised single-handedly.
E'shuo and Sai were boys who were six years old. They lived in the front yard and were raised by Fei Yanggu. Qingyan was taken away by Fei Yanggu at a very young age. Only Qingya was taken care of by Jue Luo Shi. In the end, however, she made Jue Luo Shi's teachings a winning formula.
Qingyan gave a cold laugh. They all felt they had given her too much care, but they had forgotten their mother who had been beaten to death.
"How did my own mother die?! My biological mother, for so many years, I have always listened to her and hoped for a better future. Even Ah Hun has been hiding to avoid the limelight. Ah Hun is no worse than the eldest prince and the princes!" Qingya felt that she had been harboring resentment for too long, and her disguise had become her protective color.
Every month, she meets with Ah Hun and his siblings, and they reminisce about the time when their mother was still alive. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
