Jiang Shuhua clenched her back molars involuntarily. She suddenly discovered that some people below her could be so annoying.
It's just a pity that Mother Liang is now the most trusted person in front of the Qi family. She can't do anything to Mother Liang, otherwise her visit today will be in vain.
But nothing is absolute. Even if it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Is it possible that she still has to be angry with a mother-in-law now?
After this confrontation, neither of them spoke, and they had already walked to Qi's house.
Mrs. Qi had already put away her embroidered bandages and put a tea set on the table. She did not change her clothes.
Jiang Shuhua saw Qi's plain appearance at a glance. She didn't know why, but her eyes suddenly felt a little astringent, and her nose felt sour and uncomfortable.
Mother Liang noticed this and took another look in surprise.
Mrs. Qi raised her head first, saw them at a glance, and seemed to chuckle, "Here you are? Why don't you come in yet."
As soon as the familiar voice sounded, Jiang Shuhua herself didn't even react, tears rushed out first.
"mother!"
She ran directly inside, while Mother Liang and Hemerocallis were still in a daze.
Jiang Shuhua had already rushed into Qi's arms and hugged her waist.
This indescribable feeling of longing was stronger than Jiang Shuhua's own imagination. The first time she saw Qi, it rushed out on its own.
Then she fell into such emotions that she couldn't extricate herself, and cried heartily in Qi's arms.
Faced with Jiang Shuhua like this, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but shed tears.
Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, while Mother Liang on the side was frightened, so she lost her bet today?
Only Hemerocallis looked very calm and stood quietly beside it, as if he didn't see it at all.
The two cried for a long time, and Jiang Shuhua gradually stopped, but she was still sobbing, "Mom, I miss you so much!"
This sentence is true, it even directly skipped Jiang Shuhua's reason, as if her mouth said it on its own initiative.
Mrs. Qi's hand stroking her hair paused for a moment, and then said warmly: "Okay, sit down first! What does it look like to be crying now?"
Jiang Shuhua finally calmed down slowly, with a shy smile on her face. Then she glanced at the tea set on Qi's table and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm really free now. I haven't had it for many years."
I’ve seen my mother sharing tea, and it seems that it’s only when I’m laughing that you have time to do such a thing!”
After saying that, as if he was a little embarrassed, he picked up the power fence he had thrown down from the side, and then sat on the opposite side, watching with a smile on his face as Mrs. Qi boiled water and added tea leaves.
Mrs. Qi only responded with a faint smile to Jiang Shuhua's words, "I haven't touched these things for several years, and even my hands are raw."
"Mom, you are very good at serving tea. I have heard from my uncles before, but you are always too busy. It seems that such an elegant thing has nothing to do with the Summer Palace."
Mrs. Qi had already divided a cup of tea and gently handed it to Jiang Shuhua, "Try it."
Jiang Shuhua took a sip and nodded: "It's really good!"
But then he saw the tea set and frowned: "Where did this come from? Why don't I remember that my mother had a tea set of this quality?"
This is not Qi's dowry, nor is it her belongings, but she suddenly thought of it and asked someone to buy it.
An made a list of all the expenses here and delivered them. Tea sets like this also have standard portions and cannot be changed at will.
So the people below tried their best and only found one set like this, which was barely usable.
"I heard that An's family is in charge of the house now. Is she deliberately trying to make things difficult for you? It's also a disaster for such a woman to stay in the house. You don't know how much grievances you will suffer from her in the future!"
Mrs. Qi raised her eyes and glanced at her, then added some tea to her tea cup, "Drinking tea is about one's state of mind. The so-called tea, tea leaves, and tea sets are secondary.
For example, when I was in the house, no matter how good the tea set or the best tea leaves were, I couldn't make it taste like it does now. I was always occupied with things all day long, so how could I get in the mood to enjoy tea?"
Jiang Shuhua glanced at Mrs. Qi and saw that she had a peaceful look on her face and eyes, but she didn't look unhappy at all, so she swallowed all the words that came to her lips.
But for some reason, Jiang Shuhua felt a bit ominous after hearing Qi's words and seeing her look like this.
"Mom, I have been trapped in the palace during this period and encountered many things. Mother and daughter have no way to see each other. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel? I am worried that you will not be able to see you.
Even though I was able to leave the palace, the Xie family did not recognize me. Not only did they not recognize me, they also regarded me as a savage beast and wished they could stay away from me.
Mom, Shu'er really misses you. I feel really uncomfortable and scared in the palace. I heard that you can walk around now. I wish you could come and see me and hug me, but I also know
That's impossible. There is no way for you to enter the palace, let alone to avoid other people's sight.
So I came out, I ran out secretly, as long as I can see you, I feel relieved."
She was talking nonchalantly, and Mr. Qi just listened quietly.
After hearing her words, Ms. Qi finally spoke, her tone gentle and plain, "Everything is fine with me, don't worry about me. You can live your life well. Although it is difficult in the palace, you can still survive if you work harder."
.”
Jiang Shuhua's face suddenly froze.
It's not because of Qi's words, but because of the tone of Qi's words and the expression on her face at this moment.
These words are not very caring, but they are also words that ordinary friends would say to comfort each other.
But Qi is not a relative or friend, how could she say such a thing?
What's more, when she said this, there was no concern for her in her tone, let alone distress and worry for her.
"Mom! Why do you seem like you don't care about me anymore?" Jiang Shuhua originally had better words to say, but in the end this was what she said.
To her own surprise, this sentence was a bit too childish.
Mrs. Qi was also stunned for a moment, and her hand that was about to add tea to Jiang Shuhua paused in the air. She raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Shuhua, then refilled her tea cup with tea, sighed inaudibly, and then said:
"I know you. You are smarter than anyone else. In such an environment, as long as you are willing, you can live better than anyone else."
