Chapter 427 I also feel sorry for my child
Ignoring the hesitation on her son's face, Madam Qin continued to recount Jiang Wan's great achievements, even pointing at her son's nose and scolding him.
"Especially when she was so bold as to invent that movable type printing technology, the construction of the Broad Bookstore in various provincial capitals interrupted the inheritance of the Zhangwen Daoxing family.
If I hadn't sacrificed my reputation and went from house to house to ask my relatives and friends to help suppress the counterattack, do you think that girl would have been eaten alive?
Third brother, you are a descendant of an aristocratic family, how could you not know the rules? Now, how dare you betray the interests of your family and vote for the imperial power?
Are you crazy!
Throughout history, anyone who dared to touch the foundations of an aristocratic family always met with a disastrous end. "That girl is now stirring up trouble, and it's obvious that she's going to target the aristocratic family in the end, and you're actually going to get involved?"
"That's why my son came here today."
Qin Zhenning's eyes were firm and unwavering.
"Of course I can see clearly the path she wants to take, so I also know the path I should take in the future. This path is destined to be impossible to go hand in hand with the interests of the aristocratic families.
You can expel me from the clan today, so that I won't be blamed by others in the future. This can be considered Qin Zhenning's last act of filial piety."
He raised his hands to his forehead again and kowtowed three times solemnly. Then he stood up from the ground, his smile filled with a look of desperate relief.
"Madam Qin, I'm leaving."
He turned and left, his steps as calm as when he came.
Mrs. Qin watched her son's back as he walked away, her whole body shaking with tears. However, she remained strong and did not let the pain spill out of her lips and teeth, only turning the Buddhist beads in her hands with despair.
She hoped that her son would turn back, but she also knew that he would never turn back. He felt sorry for his daughter who didn't know whether she came to collect a debt or to repay a favor.
Only when she could no longer see the hem of her son's clothes did Mrs. Qin collapse into the large armchair, clutching her chest. Her old eyes were misty with tears, but she couldn't help but look at the yellow wooden box that her son had brought to her.
He used all his strength to force himself to stand up, staggered a few steps over and sat down, and his fingers trembled several times before he successfully opened the small buckle on the box.
When I opened it, I saw a pile of deeds.
After flipping through the pages a bit, Mrs. Qin's tears began to fall again, and she muttered curses to herself.
"You idiot, you think you're even if you just give back your share of the family fortune? How can you repay your parents for giving you life?
Without a family fortune, how would you have the spare money to pay off the debts of your daughter who was born from the planet Tyrannosaurus?
You feel bad for your son now, but do you know that I feel bad for my son too? Are you trying to tear out my heart? You bastard..."
At this time, Madam Qu, the close confidant, came in and saw Madam Qin crying so hard, so she hurried forward to comfort her.
"Master, the Third Master was confused for a moment. Maybe he'll figure it out after a while. Your eyesight is already bad, so you can't cry like this anymore. I'm afraid it will hurt your body!"
Madam Qin shook her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, unwilling to show her weakness in front of others.
"If he could really change his mind so easily, he wouldn't have suffered so much for half his life.
Alas, having a child is like collecting debts!
I guess it's because I owed this little bastard too much money in my past life, so he's torturing me in this life!"
When Aunt Qu saw that her master was about to comfort herself again, a smile flashed in her old eyes. She turned around and brought her some delicious tea for her to moisten her throat.
Sure enough, after drinking a cup of tea, Old Mrs. Xie began to talk to herself skillfully.
"Alas, to be honest, I can't blame my son for being too foolish or too stubborn. A girl like Xu Jiajinniang, who has everything, could have easily chosen a husband from all over the world, but she chose my son instead!
What does this mean?
This shows that my son is also very good and outstanding. A good woman deserves a good man, and a good horse deserves a good saddle! Who made my son meet such a good person at such a young age? How could he look down on anything else in his life?
Ah Qu, do you think this is the case? "
Aunt Qu stood aside and echoed repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, isn't that right? Our Third Madam is such an outstanding talent, it's only right that Third Master should be more cautious."
"What Third Madam? Where did the Third Madam come from?"
Madam Qin curled her lips in anger and snorted unwillingly.
"Xu Ruojin was buried in the Jiang family's ancestral tomb, and the children she gave birth to also bear the Jiang family's surname. There's no such immortal figure in our family tree."
Aunt Qu lowered her head and smiled secretly.
Since you don't intend to acknowledge this daughter-in-law, why do you have to rush to make trouble with the elders? What are you doing with the tablet for the Third Master to marry the daughter of the Xu family?
Then I heard Madam Qin sigh again.
"It's hard. I don't know if I can hear that girl call my son "father" before I close my eyes."
Her eyes became moist again. She reached out to take the yellow wooden box and held it in her arms, as if she could still feel the warmth left by her son.
Memories are surging in my mind.
Thinking about the ups and downs of her life, she lost her father in childhood, her husband and son in middle age, and now she only has this one biological son left. She doesn't want her youngest son to die suddenly in pain one day.
Before this girl suddenly appeared, the third brother lived like a living dead. If it weren't for the responsibility and the desire to find Xu Ruojin, he might have already gone to the underworld.
So when she first learned that her son had a daughter, she was truly grateful to Xu Ruojin from the bottom of her heart. She was grateful that she had given her son a reason to live.
Although she hadn't met that girl in all these years, it didn't mean she didn't care about her at all. After all, her only two direct descendants were Chen'er and that girl.
well.
She slowly sat up straight, a look of determination in her eyes.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Zhao family."
The Zhao clan's wife was also a noblewoman from the Xie clan, and she and the Qin clan's wife were cousins. Although the Zhao clan was not as powerful as the Cui, Xie, Wang, and Lu clans, they were still on par with the Qin clan.
The Madam was planning to contact her family and have a fight with the Qin family elders. She couldn't let her last legitimate son die in such a situation.
Yes, the lady is very smart and perceptive.
If his son no longer has the protection of being a direct descendant of a noble family, he will surely die miserably after becoming prime minister and wielding the sword to pave the way for the queen!
This is something the lady cannot tolerate.
Just like what she said just now, the son loves his child, but the mother also loves her child!
