77. Mentality
"Grandma taught me a lesson. My granddaughter was too angry at the time and didn't take things into consideration, so she acted rashly. I asked grandma to punish her."
The old lady sighed, hugged An Xiaoqing into her arms and said:
"Idiot, grandma and my wife had a quarrel in the past. She was cold-hearted and didn't want to take care of things, which made you and your mother suffer. Now it seems that the one who is really angry with grandma is you, the child.
Grandma also knows that you are not to blame. They all try to make you worse, for fear that you will get better. If it were the grandma who was young, she would go even further to ensure that you are not harmed.
It’s not that you didn’t think things through, it’s that you have suffered too much and it’s hard to regard them as your relatives in your bones.”
The old lady's words were like a knife, splitting open the embankment that An Xiaoqing had worked so hard to build. Her nose felt sore and she fell into the old lady's arms and burst into tears.
She lost her parents when she was young and grew up in an orphanage. Only An Xiaoqing knows how much hardship she has gone through. She originally thought that God was still kind to her and allowed her to meet Chen Zihan. When they first fell in love, Chen Zihan cared for her meticulously.
She also gave him her whole heart without reservation.
But what happened later? Her sincerity was rewarded with betrayal!
He was pushed into the river by his mistress and drowned. He was reborn again, but he had such an identity that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. Few of the so-called relatives around him were kind. He was repeatedly killed and plotted against. Even a clay figure would do it.
If you are cold-hearted, you will also be angry.
The old lady is right. She does live in the house with a bystander mentality. She doesn't care about the reputation of the Pei family, and she has never regarded the Pei family as relatives.
However, the old lady's care and love in the past few days gradually melted her cold heart, and the long-accumulated grief and grievances poured out like a flood that had opened a floodgate.
She needs to vent as much as she wants.
The old lady hugged her tightly, gently caressed her back with one hand, and let her cry as much as she wanted.
When she was tired of crying, the old lady asked Zi Sang to wash the hot handkerchief, wiped An Xiaoqing's face herself, pulled her messed up hair behind her ears and said:
"I'm crying like a kitten, little fool. If you have any grievances in the future, just tell grandma. Although grandma is not necessarily very smart, she always eats more rice for decades.
When things have reached this point, we have to think about how to repay and how to minimize the consequences."
An Xiaoqing sheepishly leaned into the old lady's arms again. She really regarded the old lady as her own grandmother now. It was the first time in her life that she acted like a spoiled child in the arms of an elder. She was a little reluctant to leave. "Zisang said you were in Jingninghou Mansion.
Did you come out holding the hand of Prince Ning’s second son?”
"He...can't see."
Thinking of this, An Xiaoqing still felt a little uncomfortable. The old lady should have known about Chu Yunxi's physical illness for a long time, but she never explained it to herself...
The old lady sighed and said:
"Prince Ning's second son was not born blind. I heard that when he was ten years old, he contracted some kind of disease. After he was cured, he became blind. He used to be one of the most famous sons in the capital, and his appearance and talent were almost unparalleled.
He was the only direct descendant of Prince Ning, and Princess Ning paid more attention to him than her eyes. He was supposed to be the heir apparent, but after he contracted an eye disease, Prince Ning gave the title of heir apparent to his concubine's eldest son.
