Chapter 272: Which one should I stretch out?
[Overthinking will lead to neurasthenia. If you are stimulated again, you may become depressed, anxious and have an accident. It is normal to live in this era with a low life expectancy. It is really dangerous. 】
Su Qianqian followed the maid to the upper room with emotion in her heart. The maids did not dare to neglect her and asked Su Qianqian to sit in the living room first, while someone went to the bedroom to call Xin.
Su Qianqian was startled by the sudden scream. Without thinking too much, she ran to the inner room and saw a maid and a nanny supporting Xin. A white silk was hanging on the beam in the room.
"Madam, if something really happened to you, we servants would be dead. Please have pity on us and don't have such foolish thoughts."
The one who was crying and talking was Xin's personal maid Su He. The nanny next to her was the wet nurse who came with the dowry. At this time, she was in tears and helped Xin to the bed.
Xin closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Everyone is forcing me, you are forcing me too, should I live for others in this life, or should I die for others?"
Su Qianqian waved her hand and asked the servants to go down and sit on the brocade stool beside the bed.
"It's easy to die, but why should you let others control your own life? Whether you live or die, it all depends on your own will!"
Su Qianqian said slowly.
Hearing Su Qianqian's voice, Xin opened her eyes, then closed them again in shame.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam San. Jilan has suffered a lot of misfortunes, and she can't blame anyone else. As for her own feelings, how many women can make their own decisions?"
"Xin Jilan, I call you this because I want you to know that you are first Xin Jilan, and then the daughter of the Xin family, the second wife of the Wuning Marquisate, and the mother of Mian'er. Be yourself first, and then you can be who others see you as."
After hearing what Su Qianqian said, Xin slowly opened her red and swollen eyes, with no spirit in them:
"I was taught since I was young that I am the daughter of the Xin family and I must not break the rules and bring shame to the Xin family.
When I was newly married to the Second Master, it was the first time I knew that someone cared about me. I could eat snacks and wear clothes according to my own preferences without having to abide by many rules. However, I only lived such a life for 56 days...
After so many years, I no longer have any longings. I just hope that Brother Mian will come back home soon.
But after meeting Prince Zhou, it was as if the Second Master had returned, and I wanted to restrain my thoughts. Unfortunately, I accidentally injured my foot and was saved by his persuasion.
But when I came back from hunting, I heard that Prime Minister Xue intended to marry the second daughter to him, so I gave up the idea. I was sad for a few days, and I would take care of Mian'er and this yard for the rest of my life.
Today my brother suddenly came to my house and scolded me for being unfaithful and bringing shame to the Xin family. He asked me to end my life. Am I keeping my life going just to save the Xin family's reputation? ”
Xin finally vented the grievances and injustice in his heart, raising his voice and almost shouting.
Su Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to vent her feelings so that they could communicate better afterwards.
"Of course not, and you don't have a husband now, and Prince Zhou hasn't married yet. It's normal for women to remarry, so why would you say it's embarrassing?
Prince Zhou went to the Xin family to propose marriage in order to give you the status of a legitimate wife. If the Xin family was sensible, they should have accepted it calmly and celebrated for you. Even if they should not, they should have pointed out the reason why Prince Zhou was not suitable, not that you had been married before.
Sister Jilan, now I only ask you, no matter what the future holds for Prince Zhou, no matter how much criticism you will face if you are with him, are you willing to share the burden with him? ”
Xin Jilan slowly propped herself up and sat up. Her eyes gradually brightened up on her face, which had obviously become much thinner. She thought for a long time before nodding firmly: "I do."
"There will inevitably be obstacles in your marriage, but you can't just let him walk the whole way to you alone. He has taken ninety-nine steps, and you must take one step to meet him. If you die because of this, how will you let him live the rest of his life?"
Su Qianqian reminded Xin again to prevent her from thinking about ending her life again.
Xin was shocked, ashamed and afraid: "Thanks to the Third Madam's reminder, I almost harmed Prince Zhou. Don't worry, even if this fails, I will never have that thought again."
"That's right. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. If you can't overcome it, just smooth it out. There is no knot that cannot be untied. If you can't untie it, just cut it off. Your life is your own, so you have the final say. There are many people who don't like us, so who does he think he is!"
Su Qianqian rolled her eyes, and Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the grievances and resentment that were pent up in her heart disappeared.
"You are only responsible for living a prosperous life. If anyone wants to ruin your future, you can chop off their limbs. If you bow your head and they get even more aggressive, then you will raise your head and be criticized by thousands of people. I will break whatever sticks out to you and I won't give them a single cent!"
Su Qianqian was talking excitedly, pinching her waist with one hand and snapping her fingers with the other.
"Third sister-in-law is mighty!"
Qin Yuzhuo's sudden voice startled Xin Jilan, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. She looked up and saw Du following Qin Yuzhuo in, and she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Jilan, no need to be so polite. Yuzhuo and I were on our way to your grandmother's place and passed by your yard, so we came in to take a look."
Mrs. Du quickly raised her hand to stop him.
[Fu Shou Tang is next to your Qing Cang Courtyard. How did it get here? 】Su Qianqian’s dark eyes moved around, and she was very curious.
Qin Yuzhuo and Xin Jilan both held back their laughter and looked at Mrs. Du without changing their expression as they said:
"You should take good care of yourself. I will take care of everything for you. You are the daughter of the Xin family, the wife of my Qin family, and the mother of my grandson. It is not the turn of others to point fingers at you."
Xin's eyes couldn't help but turn red and she nodded gratefully.
Mrs. Du gave Mrs. Xin a few more instructions and took Su Qianqian and Qin Yuzhuo to Fushou Hall.
Uncle Xin would never come to visit someone unless he had something important to do. When someone came, he naturally reported it to Madam Qin. Several old ladies were studying the case together and didn't take it seriously.
Knowing that he had said such inhumane words, the second and third old ladies were ready to fight, waiting for Madam Qin's order to rush to the Xin Mansion to seek justice.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt and Third Aunt. You need to set up battle formations in a war, and the same applies to fighting. Just leave him alone for three to five days. Once we have figured out the details of the Xin family, we can give them some dumplings stuffed with coptis root, so that they will feel bitter but can't vent it."
Su Qianqian calmly stretched out a scallion-like finger and shook it, narrowing her eyes insidiously.
Qin Hanzhang saw this scene when he walked in.
Su Qianqian immediately put away her fingers and acted like a cautious young wife again.
Qin Family: All your vests have fallen off, and you are still picking them up...
While the servants were setting the table, Madam Qin discussed today's case with great interest, praising Su Qianqian for her accurate judgment, which left the suspect no way to escape.
Su Qianqian forced a smile: "Grandma, are you praising your granddaughter-in-law for her good fortune-telling or her good judgment of the case?"
"All is good, hahaha, all is good!" Mrs. Qin realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly laughed it off.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"But who is this leader? Where did all the money go?"
Mrs. Du asked the question on everyone's mind, and everyone looked at Su Qianqian.
