It's unknown what tricks her biological mother, Madam Zhou, had prepared for her.
Ye Qingxue put down Qizai's paw, turned around and left, with Qizai obediently following behind her.
Xiao Bao pounced on Qi Zai, hugged Qi Zai's neck, and flipped onto Qi Zai's back, where Qi Zai carried him.
Seven looked docile, as if he had gotten used to it, and didn't even try to shake him off.
Ye Qingxue watched this scene, her gaze falling on Xiaobao again, with a look of inquiry.
The child probably guessed that he was not welcome and might even be driven away, but he would not drive away Qi Zai, so he stuck to Qi Zai. Such cunning at such a young age.
Whose man is he?
Even in the village, Ye Qingxue had never seen this child. She had seen almost all the families working in the village who had children, and if she hadn't seen them, she at least knew about them.
But this child appeared out of nowhere, his hands were so cold, devoid of human warmth...
Ye Qingxue suddenly thought of a question: Is this child... a living person?
She was able to appear here only because she was brought back from the dead. Could it be that she was too yin and was tainted by something unclean when she was reborn, so she brought this child, who is as cold as a ghost, from hell to the human world?
The idea was somewhat absurd, but Ye Qingxue decided to take a look first.
...
Madam Zhou lay on the couch, her face pale. She hadn't slept well all night and looked extremely haggard.
Seeing Ye Qingxue enter her room, she propped herself up and sat up. The nanny quickly placed a pillow behind her so that Madam Zhou could lean on it.
Ye Qingxue walked to the bedside and stood there, looking at Madam Zhou expressionlessly. There was not a trace of warmth in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think they were two strangers.
Madam Zhou reached out to her, wanting to take her hand, but Ye Qingxue took a step back and avoided it.
"What does Madam have to say?" Ye Qingxue said coldly.
Seeing her like this, Madam Zhou sighed, "I heard you didn't come home last night. What if a young lady like you encounters bad people while acting like this? Are you alright?"
Ye Qingxue had never experienced her mother's tenderness before, and she was stunned when she suddenly received her mother's concern and care.
But she quickly realized what was going on and retorted sarcastically, "Outsiders have no grudge against me and won't easily beat me up like the First Madam did."
Madam Zhou seemed speechless, staring blankly at her before tears streamed down her face. Her complexion was pale and haggard, and she looked pitiful as she wept.
"Are you blaming me for hitting you yesterday? I only hit you a little too hard because I saw your sister's face was disfigured and I was worried that your bad reputation would spread and you would be seen as an orphan..."
Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears, her face full of sorrow and self-blame.
"It's all my fault. I didn't raise you well, which led to your discord with your younger sister and caused you to do things like spending the whole night secretly meeting with other men."
“If you are wrong, then I, as your mother, am even more wrong for giving birth to a child and not teaching him.”
Her tears fell in a steady stream, and she couldn't stop wiping them away.
Her actions, including her words, were like a stone thrown into water, creating ripples in Ye Qingxue's mind.
