Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qi chuckled, "But you don't dare to offend the Xie family, and you don't want people to know that the relationship between the Qi family and the Xie family is bad, right?"
The embarrassment on Old Mrs. Qi's face became even worse, and then she sat down opposite Mr. Qi, "You also know the situation at home now.
Your eldest brother is used to living in the local area. When he came to the capital, he was not familiar with many things. After coming to the capital, everything was unsatisfactory.
Your father is not here anymore, and many of the connections he had in the past have almost been cut off in the past few years since he left Beijing. The people he was close to were either no longer in the capital, or the relationship has become extremely weak.
Then we were reprimanded. If it weren't for the fact that you were Xie Maocai's wife, I don't know how many people in Beijing would laugh at us.
What you don’t know yet is that these people have always worshiped the superior and pushed others to push them against the wall. How can you, my mother, stand up for you?
It's not like I haven't been to Xie's house before. Your mother-in-law is really hateful. Now she clearly despises your natal family. When I went there, she didn't seem to have a good look on her face. She even got angry at me.
Speaking of which, the two families are in-laws and we are on equal footing. Do I still want to flatter her? Are you willing to see your mother suffer with such anger? "
After Mrs. Qi said this, she never saw any moved expression on Mrs. Qi's face, and she felt embarrassed again for a moment.
"Girl, you don't really blame me from the bottom of your heart, do you?" Old Mrs. Qi took out her handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, her eye circles immediately turned red, "I can't help it, there are still so many people at home.
Son, I always have to think about them."
Mother Liang had already gone to make tea with great discernment. Mrs. Qi picked up a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mrs. Qi, "I don't blame you."
She spoke seriously and her tone was very calm.
Mrs. Qi was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up and saw the calm expression on her face, she hesitated, "Really?"
"real."
Although she said that, Mrs. Qi also believed that what she said was true, but for some reason, she felt even more uneasy in her heart.
"That……"
"It is said that when a hand is stretched out, the fingers are still long and short. After all, I am a married daughter. My mother considers her brothers and nephews at home, so it is normal for her to make this choice." There was no trace of any emotion in Qi's tone.
He complained, "But, since mother made such a choice, why did she suddenly come here today? Is there something else?"
Mrs. Qi was very uncomfortable with asking this question directly on her face.
The eldest wife of the Qi family on the side said quickly: "Sister-in-law, please don't be too sensitive. Although my mother has no way to argue with the Xie family, how can she not be worried in her heart? When I heard that you came out, I wanted to come over and take a look.
you."
Old Mrs. Qi immediately said: "Yes, yes, how do you feel now? You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Two days ago, Dr. Peng from the palace came to the house to check my pulse. I think his medical skills are pretty good."
, how about asking your brother to take the post and ask him to come over and show it to you tomorrow?
Your place is nice, but it's a little too deserted. There aren't many people here who can serve you wholeheartedly, and many places are not decent."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Mrs. Qi's clothes, and she obviously felt that Ms. Qi now did not look like the wife of a chief minister.
Mrs. Qi just smiled faintly and did not answer.
Old Mrs. Qi glanced at her daughter-in-law, and then continued: "Why don't you let your niece come and live with you? The little girl is also smart. On weekdays, it will be more lively for your aunt and nephew to sit together."
"Didn't Mother Liang say what she said when mother came in?" In fact, Wen Sheng said, "I need to rest now, and I don't have so many people around me. It's also for this reason."
Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi looked at each other.
Mrs. Qi's face was inevitably a little ugly.
Even though my sister-in-law had her reasons, in Mrs. Qi's opinion, this was just a deliberate attempt to make fun of Zhang.
What kind of rest? Since there are already so many servants here, why add an extra little girl? Will it disturb her?
I have never seen her have so many talents before.
After all, Mrs. Qi was still worried about offending her daughter, so she nodded with a smile and said: "You are right, so it seems that you have also seen an imperial doctor for this disease, right?
Let's just listen to the imperial doctor. Your sister-in-law and I are mainly worried about your health. No one in the world cares about you now. In the end, your family is the most important thing."
As he spoke, he began to shed tears again.
Mrs. Qi didn't feel moved by the mother in front of her, but felt a bit strange.
Why have I never thought that my mother was so good at acting?
Mrs. Qi acted so hard, but the audience didn't buy it, and the crying voice gradually became quieter.
After a while, Mrs. Qi didn't show any relief, so she had to stop first and said with a sly smile: "This man is old and easily sad. Don't think it's funny."
What Mrs. Qi said was a bit strange, but she had to admit that a mother was crying so sincerely, while the daughter opposite had barely taken out another piece of rice paper to draw on.
The scene does look a bit ridiculous.
Before Mrs. Qi came here today, she never thought that this would be such a situation, and she couldn't help but feel dumb for a moment.
Mrs. Qi glanced at her mother-in-law, thought of the purpose of their coming today, took over the conversation, and asked with a flattering smile: "Does my sister-in-law have any plans now?
You can't just live here like this forever, right? Apart from anything else, you are now the true wife of the chief minister, and there are not many women in the world who can be as noble as you."
Mentioning this, Mrs. Qi's face showed a somewhat proud smile. She nodded involuntarily and sighed: "Yes, yes! If your father were alive, he would be so happy right now!"
I’m not saying that, even your brothers are not as successful as you. With so many children, you are the only one who can get ahead."
"So, having said all that, why did mother and sister-in-law come here today?"
Mrs. Qi was really impatient. In today's meeting, she didn't see any warmth between relatives. All she saw was the calculation between each other.
Old Mrs. Qi's expression turned stiff and she subconsciously looked at her eldest son-in-law.
For a moment I was a little unsure whether I should say it or not.
Mrs. Qi directly winked and asked her to speak.
In the end, Mrs. Qi had no choice but to open her mouth, "In theory, we have just met now, so it is not easy to say these words, but now... the world is not as good as it used to be, and I really feel that you are my daughter.
, I’m not an outsider, so it’s easier to tell you.”
