Chapter 472: Small Character A Miao
Madam Qin reached out and picked up the teacup to hide the upward smile on the corner of her mouth, but she could be heard muttering a few words in a dissatisfied manner.
"What's so good about choosing? You're the real winner when you can have it all."
"How can it be called a banquet if you've bought the whole banquet by yourself?"
Jiang Wan also smiled and picked up the teacup, offering a polite toast.
"It's not good for people to be too greedy. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. I hope Madam Qin can relax a little."
"She's such a calculative person, not at all like your mother. That girl is very generous, and lives up to the reputation of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family. She's the most qualified woman to be from an aristocratic family."
“Well, I’m like my grandmother.
She would pay the price three times for a needle and thread. She often said that people can endure hardship in life, but they cannot suffer losses.
I have a personality quite like hers, I like to be serious."
Madam Qin tightened her grip on the bottom of the cup, and as she looked across at the person opposite her, a hint of pleading flashed in her aged eyes. Jiang Wan didn't meet her gaze, but continued to chat about some family matters with a smile on his lips.
"When I was little, my family lived in poverty. But even when we were on the verge of starvation, my family never had the heart to abandon me.
I remember what my grandfather said at the time: Zhaodi is already stupid. If we throw her away, how can she survive? Keep her. Even if you just treat her like a kitten or puppy, at least give her a chance to survive.
So you see, it's hard to have it all in life. But you can't let down someone you shouldn't let down, because that would only mean you let down the wrong love.
My mother probably thought the same thing, otherwise she wouldn't have made that choice. As her daughter, I certainly respect her choice. It might not be right or wrong, but I can't make the decision about what happened in the past.
She is the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and she must live up to the Xu family's reputation. I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and I must live up to the Jiang family's love."
A sip of tea goes down the throat. It’s not hot, but it still makes the throat feel dry and astringent.
She put down the teacup, stood up, and solemnly raised her hand and bowed three times as the Queen Mother of Dayu.
"On behalf of the Emperor and the people of Dayu, I would like to thank the Qin family for their righteousness.
Next, I will have to trouble Madam Qin to run some business, and I thank you again.
Then I will go back to prepare and wait for good news.
Goodbye.
She turned and left quickly, and when she reached the door, Mrs. Qin finally spoke. Her voice, hoarse and suppressed, was filled with suppressed pain, all coming from a loving mother's heart.
"Wanjie!
I admit that what you said is right.
But it was the tyrant emperor and the world that were wrong, not my son.
Your father has taken care of your mother his whole life, you can't let him down like this!"
Jiang Wan stopped and did not look back, because she saw the middle-aged man standing at the door, who was still handsome and elegant.
The corners of her mouth lifted again.
"I can be Qin Zhenning's daughter, but Jiang Wan's father cannot be Qin Zhenning.
Father, have you ever given me a nickname?
"Ami."
He laughed too.
"Your mother has been very smart since she was young and is good at calculating people's minds.
I used to joke with her that if we got married and had a daughter, we'd just name her Ah Miao. I hope she can be as good at calculating and strategizing as she is."
"Have I ever given you what you wished for?"
"The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, a master of strategy and imperial court.
You're better than I thought."
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
"Go back first. The Ministry of Revenue is still waiting for your dispatch. I'll take care of everything here, don't worry."
"Ah Miao thanks father."
"good."
This was the first time he could respond to his daughter as a father.
In this life, I will never ask for more.
After watching the child go away, Qin Zhenning turned around and walked into the house until the door opened and closed again, and sat opposite his mother.
"You fool, you've been thinking about this your whole life, why are you trying to stop me?"
Mrs. Qin was truly disappointed with her son. This little scoundrel had caused her so much worry all her life. She wondered if she would be able to see him find a proper resting place before she died.
"Mother, don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry?"
Raising a child for a hundred years means worrying about him until he is ninety-nine.
When he was young, I was afraid that he would get sick and die young. When he grew up, I was afraid that he would be naughty and difficult to teach. When he became an adult, I was afraid that he would be affectionate but die young. When he was old, I was afraid that he would have nowhere to rely on.
I've been afraid of this little bastard for my whole life.
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she picked up her crutch, raised it high, and then brought it down gently, hitting the brat's leg again.
"You, you, I wonder who will serve you by your bedside when you are old? Where will you live after a hundred years?"
Qin Zhenning sat there with a smile on his face, letting his old mother's cane gently hit him.
"Did you guess it?"
"nonsense!"
No one knows a son better than his mother. Madam Qin has already figured out most of the bastard's crazy plans.
"Whenever something happens, you always ask the Qin family to expel you from the clan.
At first I thought you were trying to threaten your family, but later I realized you were thinking about it all the time!
Qin Zhenning, you are really becoming more and more promising."
After hitting her several times in a row, Mrs. Qin put down her crutches helplessly and sighed.
"Wouldn't it be great if Mom could help you get Sister Jin back home in marriage? Isn't that better than you abandoning your family and career and following someone else around in obscurity?"
"not good."
Qin Zhenning also sighed and shook his head.
"There are too many things involved. The good reputations of the Qin and Xu families must be maintained and cannot be tarnished by a selfish person like me.
And there is also the reputation of Jin Jie'er and A Miao. I can't let them live under the criticism of others.
And mother, I can't bear to see you repeatedly begging for help on my behalf."
He raised his hand, grabbed the skinny old hand, and placed it quietly on his head, just like the gesture he often made when he was a child and acting coquettishly.
“Please stop making trouble with the elders about my affairs. They are right to disagree.
Don't worry about me either.
You see, I have Ah Miao now, and I also have Ah Zhu. I will definitely be fine in the future, don't worry."
This bastard has known how to please his parents since he was little, that's why he's been favored for so many years. Madam Qin rubbed his head hard a few times in annoyance, then grabbed his ear and sighed.
"Little Yelang, be well. Even if mom is gone, you must be well too."
"Um."
Qin Zhenning often felt that God had treated him too unfairly, but he also knew that if it weren't for his mother's hand holding him tightly for so many years, he might not have waited for A Miao to come back.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son."
"Nonsense! My son is the most filial."
Madam Qin raised her hand and pushed the person away.
"Let's go settle the score with your daughter from Tyrant Star!"
"Thank you, mother."
"Don't say so many nice things to me, go and have a good time with the elders later!"
