Duan Hong felt guilty all the time. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "Whatever Xi'er wants, Daddy will definitely satisfy you!"
Duan Qingxi smiled and said, "Xi'er hopes that Dad and Brother can keep this a secret for me. Don't tell them that it was me who suggested letting Sister Shishi come back."
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin didn't seem to understand Duan Qingxi's meaning, so Duan Qingxi said, "Sister Shishi is arrogant, and she's always misunderstood me. I'm worried that if she knew I was the one pleading for her, she wouldn't want to leave because of the knot in her heart. If she doesn't want to come back, how can we resolve the misunderstanding? So, please keep it a secret, Dad and Brother!"
After a pause, she continued, "Wait until Sister Shishi likes me as much as Dad and Brother do, then tell her about this. Maybe her dislike for me will disappear completely. A favor should always be expressed at the right time."
She pleaded for Duan Shishi just to create the image of a good sister in front of Duan Hong and Duan Sijin.
Judging from Duan Shishi's personality, she will definitely deal with her after she comes back. She might even team up with people from the second house to frame her.
If she told him, Duan Shishi would definitely make a fuss about it, and she couldn't give her any chance.
But Duan Hong and Duan Sijin didn't know what Duan Qingxi was thinking. They just thought she was too kind and sensible!
After Duan Sijin took people to pick up Duan Shishi, Duan Qingxi stayed with Duan Hong to accompany him.
Duan Hong was very happy, and there was a little more doting in his eyes when he looked at Duan Qingxi.
While Duan Qingxi was making tea, he couldn't help but ask, "Xi'er, have you ever resented Daddy?"
Duan Qingxi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.
Honestly, the original owner must have resented it, but as for her...
"When I was little, I didn't understand why, as a young lady from the General's Mansion, I had to wash clothes for the servants all day and do the dirtiest and most tiring work. At that time, I didn't blame Daddy, but I envied my sister Shishi. I wanted to be like her and act like a spoiled child in Daddy's arms."
"Later, when I grew up a little, I realized it was my mother's fault. At that time, I felt resentment and hatred, thinking that my mother was dead, so why did I have to bear all this? Obviously, I... didn't understand anything..."
When saying this, Duan Qingxi's emotions were well brewing. Duan Hong, who was listening to him, felt his heart throbbing and thought that he was really an asshole back then.
Duan Qingxi continued, "Actually, I've never understood why Daddy insisted on marrying my mother if he didn't like her. Let me tell you something Daddy won't like to hear. If Daddy hadn't married my mother, perhaps those bad things wouldn't have happened, and I... wouldn't have suffered so much, and Sister Shishi wouldn't have become what she is now."
She is now unsure whether the original owner is really the second wife's daughter.
But even if she wasn't, and there was some misunderstanding, she really wanted to know why.
In modern times, Duan Hong married Duan Shishi's mother after much persuasion and matchmaking from relatives because his mother died in childbirth and she was very young. He was worried that she would have no one to take care of her.
But even after marrying Duan Shishi's mother, Duan Hong never touched her once, because he was worried that having a child would cause property disputes.
Of course, this point was made very clear when he married Duan Shishi's mother, and Duan Shishi's mother also agreed.
One is looking for a mother for the child, and the other is looking for money. Both of their needs are obvious.
But it is obviously different here. The original owner and Duan Shishi were born almost at the same time, which means that Duan Hong married the second wife before the first wife died.
This is not like Duan Hong's style.
