Madam Qin asked bitterly, "You know everything?"
Qin Ming nodded and smiled shyly. "I just remember that day when Dad finally came back. The atmosphere in the mansion was very lively. After Mom coaxed me to sleep, she put me in the back room. Actually, I didn't sleep very well at that time. I was trying to stay awake and wait for Dad to come back so that he could tell me a story!"
He coughed a few more times, took a deep breath, and continued, "Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard my father talking and my mother crying."
He paused and murmured, "So I have a younger sister. If she were still alive, she would be the same age as Erlang!"
Mrs. Qin's expression darkened. She had once lost a lovely daughter. It would have been great if the child could grow up healthy.
She was exhausted at the time. Her own daughter died shortly after she was born, but her husband sent back a baby boy. You can imagine how depressed she was during that period.
On one side is her dead daughter, and on the other side is her husband's illegitimate child.
At that time, she was already a little nervous, and could not bear to hear the child crying, and she cried all day long.
Three months later, when the husband returned, he saw his wife, haggard and listless, with sunken eyes. She was indifferent and distant to him, as if she would leave him forever in the next second!
Qin Bin knew that hiding it any longer was not a solution, so he told his wife about Qin Yue's origins.
Qin Bin hugged his crying wife and comforted her softly. He said that he had committed too many sins of killing in his life, and that his daughter's failure to survive was God's punishment for him. If she wanted to blame anyone, she should only blame him and not torture herself!
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Qin cried bitterly, even though she knew that Qin Yue was not her husband's illegitimate son.
But she still had a knot in her heart. Whenever she saw Qin Yue, she would think of her deceased daughter. If her daughter were still alive, would she be this old? Would she be naughty and play tricks on her? Would she lean on her arm and act coquettishly with her?
She couldn't act as if nothing had happened, let alone pretend that nothing had happened, so she could only choose to distance herself from him.
That time, when her son fell into the freezing cold pool with her in winter, her fear reached its peak again. She was afraid that her son would leave her like her daughter.
She didn't want Qin Yue to get close to her son again. She scolded him and punished him!
Looking at his mother's gloomy expression, Qin Ming knew that she must be thinking of something bad.
Qin Ming spoke frankly with his mother about the matter, not because he wanted to make her sad, but because he wanted her not to carry such a heavy memory anymore.
"From now on, I will accompany you to commemorate my sister. I will share your sadness with you, so you will suffer less in the future!"
He held his mother's hand and continued to comfort her, "Let the past be the past. Erlang is doing very well with father now. He will praise him to me when he sends me a message. Mother is afraid to see him, so let Erlang stay with father. I will accompany you. However, we cannot decide his marriage for him. Mother should send a message to father as soon as possible so that they can prepare in advance!"
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but tear up when she heard what her son said.
She didn't want her son to see his loss of composure, so she turned away and wiped away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks with her other hand.
The surging tears burst out of my eyes uncontrollably, like beads strung on a string, falling down.
At this moment, she felt mixed emotions: the pain of having her scars revealed, the relief of being understood, and her son's understanding made her feel distressed.
She was so moved by her son's words of comfort that she burst into tears!
Qin Ming looked at his mother's shaking shoulders and knew that she was crying very sadly.
Instead of trying to comfort her, he wanted his mother to take this opportunity to cry and vent her emotions.
Mother is too depressed. My father stays in the army all year round, and there are a lot of things at home waiting for her to take care of. In addition, I am a sick child and always make my mother worry. Qin Ming knows that his mother is actually very hard-working!
After a long time, Mrs. Qin's mood gradually calmed down. She still had her back to her son and said in a hoarse voice, "You have a good rest. I'll go write a letter to your father right away!"
Mrs. Qin stood up and ran away.
The maids and servants outside the door saw the lady coming out with red and swollen eyes. They lowered their heads, looked straight ahead, and followed her.
Mrs. Qin walked hurriedly, looking a little embarrassed. How could she lose her composure in front of her son?
At this time, she had not yet realized that the depression in her heart was gradually dissipating. It turned out that the pain buried in the heart would really become easier after it was spoken out!
She stepped into the study, asked the maid to fetch a basin of water, and then waved away the maid who was serving her.
She put a cold, wet towel on her red and swollen eyes.
There was some regret on her face at this moment.
In fact, she would naturally write a letter to her husband without her son's persuasion.
As long as Qin Yue's surname is still Qin, he will still be a member of the Qin family.
Although she had a barrier towards Qin Yue, she could not bear to see their Qin family being tied to the Second Prince's chariot because of Qin Yue alone. Naturally, she would not ignore this matter.
After the soreness and pain in her eyes faded away, Madam Qin began to write the letter. She told her husband in detail what the Second Prince's wife had said when she came to the mansion today. At the end, she talked about the recent situation at home, asking him to take care of himself and not to worry about home.
Qin Ming leaned against the head of the bed, looking at his mother who walked out with her back straight, with a smile on his lips. He wanted to use this incident to prick the abscess in his mother's heart.
Due to his health, he often stayed at home. In addition to reading a lot of poetry and books, he was also good at exploring the other person's inner thoughts from the slightest expression.
After listening to the conversation between his father and mother that night, he knew that his mother was suffering. He originally thought that when his mother saw Erlang, she would think of her deceased sister, so he could understand why his mother was distant from Erlang.
Since Erlang went to the army last year, he has not appeared in front of his mother, but he saw that his mother was still unhappy, and there was still a layer of sadness between her brows. Then he realized that the problem was not with Erlang, but with his mother herself!
She sealed her heart and used the pain buried in her heart to constantly remind herself that she had lost a daughter!
She didn't want to forget this incident, didn't want the world to be without anyone caring about this precious child who had come into the world. She couldn't forget, and she didn't dare to forget. If even she, a mother, forgot her daughter had come, then who else would remember her?
Today he talked about this matter with his mother, hoping that she would not have to bear the pain of recalling the past alone!
From now on, there will be one more person in this world who cares about my sister, and she will always live in their hearts and will never disappear!
