Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qi didn't know what to do for a moment.
The old lady's attitude towards Shu'er was already very obvious. She really couldn't think of any other way to get her daughter to attend the princess's banquet.
Of course, she could also let her daughter go secretly, but she knew exactly what this meant.
Now his position in the old lady's heart is in jeopardy. If something like this happens again, Shu'er's life-long affairs will really be lost.
But seeing her daughter's desperate look at this moment, she was very sure that if she said she couldn't do it, she would still think of ways to commit suicide if she didn't turn around.
That was a tragedy that could never be undone. How could she bear it?
Rationally speaking, Mrs. Qi also knew that she should persuade her daughter, which might be the easiest way to go.
But her daughter's words just now were so clear and clear that she could feel her daughter's emotions and thoughts in her heart, and she couldn't say those words to dissuade her.
Xie Shuhua looked at her as if there was still the last glimmer of expectation in her eyes, and then faced with Qi's silence, her expectations dimmed little by little.
Finally, she sighed, "That's it, mother! Go back!"
"Shu'er!"
Xie Shuhua didn't look at her, she just lowered her eyes, covering up all the thoughts in her eyes.
"I..." Mrs. Qi finally couldn't help but broke down and cried again, "It's all useless for my mother. I used to hold my breath in my heart and refused to bow to your father. Now the husband and wife respect each other as guests, otherwise they wouldn't have made things worse.
It has developed to this point.”
When she thought about the relationship between her husband and wife over the past twenty years since she was young, she had to admit that in this aspect, she had really failed and was too conceited.
Therefore, whenever things happened between her and Xie Yuncang, they would mostly have a business-like attitude. The two of them did not look like a married couple, but rather like two accomplices who were cooperating in business.
And such a relationship can only survive under various family rules. If it breaks away from the rules, there will be no affection at all.
It was precisely because of this that the old lady opened her mouth. The word "filial piety" left her no room to refute.
Unexpectedly, at this time, she also lost the power of being a middle-aged woman. This was like a fig leaf, which suddenly exposed her external strength and internal affairs.
Although Ms. Qi really didn't want to admit it, she also knew in her heart that she, the so-called mistress, was really not that important to the Xie family today.
"Shu'er!" Qi wailed after thinking about this, "What on earth are you going to do if you want your mother!"
Xie Shuhua's hands hidden under the quilt couldn't help but clenched into fists. She suddenly realized that the mother she had always relied on was so useless. In this situation, she could do nothing but cry.
She quietly gritted her teeth, tried her best to adjust her mentality, and then said: "Mom, please stop crying. When you cry like this, I feel more and more uncomfortable, and it makes you worry about me.
This is all my fault. You can feel more at ease in the future. The second brother is now in high school. No matter what, the old lady and father will still like you because of the second brother. Don’t worry, as long as you relax your mind,
Don't worry about me anymore, things will be fine in the future."
These words clearly meant that she wanted to leave. Qi's heart ached unbearably, but at this moment she was also prompted by her words, "Yes! Erlang! And Erlang!"
Mrs. Qi wiped the tears on her face, grabbed Xie Shuhua's hand and said excitedly: "Shu'er, don't be discouraged, there is your second brother too! I asked your second brother to tell your grandmother! He just won the Jinshi.
His identity, your grandmother will not deny him this face!"
Xie Shuhua hurriedly said: "Mom, goodbye, my second brother has already abandoned me in his heart. Please don't quarrel with me anymore because of me."
Mrs. Qi immediately frowned and said, "What are you talking about? He is my son and your brother. How can you say that you will never abandon him? I can't do anything about my mother-in-law, and I can't control my husband. How can I even bring up the son who I raised by myself?"
Isn’t it incredible?!”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She shook Xie Shuhua's hand vigorously and said, "Don't worry about it. When mother comes back, she will definitely handle this matter for you. You must wait for news about mother. Don't worry about it anymore."
.”
After saying that he was still worried, he called a reliable maid from his Summer Palace over and asked her to wait in front of Xie Shuhua, and then hurriedly went out.
Seeing her panicked figure, Xie Shuhua felt relieved, and finally the risk was not in vain.
She looked at the maid left behind by the Qi family, found an excuse and moved away, then called the servant in, "You didn't reveal any flaws, did you?"
"Don't worry, girl! This slave is strangling her tightly. No one can see the girl's state when she is drowned except this slave." She said and quickly took out a box of plaster from the cabinet over there. "This slave will apply the medicine for you. Wait.
I’ll go to the princess’s mansion in two days, and I can’t leave such a mark.”
In order to make the show realistic, Xie Shuhua was ruthless and asked the servant to take Bai Ling and strangle her hard, leaving bruises on her before she stopped. Otherwise, she would not be able to frighten the Qi family like this.
Seeing that the maid from the Summer Palace had not come, the servant asked in a low voice: "Girl, even if we go to the princess's mansion, we still have to move to Banxiangzhou. It depends on what the madam wants. The old madam is watching.
!”
When this was mentioned, Xie Shuhua became furious. She never thought that the old woman could be so amazing!
Not only did she not be allowed to attend the banquet at the Princess Mansion, she also directly redefined her identity in the mansion, told everyone her dislike of herself, and spared no effort to suppress her!
She was directly downgraded in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. This kind of humiliation was even worse than sending her directly to Jiangzhou.
If she were sent directly to Jiangzhou and she left, even if her life would be miserable in the future, she would not have to face these people in the house now.
And in the current situation, although her life is still more comfortable than most people outside, she has to live in various perspectives and has to face the embarrassment of falling from a high place.
What is this called?
This is called murder and heart-breaking!
But, does she really give in so easily?
impossible!
Going to the princess mansion is her only and last chance, and she must seize it.
When she was three years old, the great spiritual master Daoxuan personally said that her life was precious and that she could not lose to anyone else in the Xie family.
One day, she will trample all these people under her feet. At that time, she will hear the old woman pleading with herself!
The servant didn't wait for Xie Shuhua's voice. When he raised his eyes, he saw his girl's expression filled with hatred and a bit twisted. The chill that he had felt before suddenly appeared again.
And because of what happened yesterday morning, although everyone in the Xie family didn't say anything, they were all guessing in their hearts. They didn't know what the old lady and Xie Yuncang and his wife said in the end, and what was the final result of Xie Shuhua.
Therefore, early the next morning, when everyone came to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects, they were vaguely looking forward to it, wondering whether Xie Shuhua would come.
When the old lady came out, she was still missing. Not only her, but also the Qi family did not come.
This explains the problem very much. What did the old lady say yesterday? Is it so serious?
Is Mrs. Qi not coming because she is unhappy or because of some other reasons?
The old lady seemed not to notice the absence of their mother and daughter, and continued to chat with others as usual, mostly giving instructions on what to pay attention to when going to the princess's mansion.
Today's greetings took longer than usual, and it took nearly an hour to leave. Qi's mother and daughter still didn't come, but Xie Langhua, who had been blessed with a good rest these days, came when everyone was leaving, with a look on his face.
