Mother Liang originally thought that Mr. Qi was just a little discouraged at the moment.
When I heard this, I was shocked to realize that my master was not complaining or analyzing the past, but she was thinking about the future.
Thinking back to the fact that Qi asked her to deliver a letter to Xie Langhua just now, Liang's mother couldn't help but become nervous, "Are you worried about something, madam?"
"My dearest daughter is Mo Ruomu. Although I may not be her biological mother, but the adoptive mother who has raised her for so many years is still a mother. Now I am no longer like before, thinking about the past and trying to see through her thoughts.
It’s not difficult.”
Mother Liang put away her emotions, sat quietly on the footrest, and looked at Mr. Qi seriously.
"In the past, when she was in and out of the house, no matter who she was, when she was mentioned, they would always speak highly of her. After all, after so many years of traveling around and inviting so many people to help spread the word, her reputation as a virtuous lady was finally spread out.
In the mansion, even when facing the maids and servants, she was very talkative.
But is this really the case? If others don’t know, don’t I know? None of the maids in the house has been beaten by her.
Speaking of which, in fact, as the mistress of the house, I am in charge of the life and death of everyone in the house, and I have never beaten as many people as she has.
It’s just that I used to feel sorry for her, doted on her, and thought about how hard she worked day by day. Not only did she help me deal with things in the house, but she also helped me fulfill my filial piety in front of the old lady Xie Maocai, and earned money for me.
The good reputation alone is enough to move me, enough to make me feel that she is very wronged, and it is normal for her to vent her anger on some servants."
It is not a secret that Jiang Shuhua often punishes her servants, especially to the people in the Summer Palace, everyone has seen it.
It's just that the people in the Summer Palace are tight-lipped and know that such things cannot be spread to outsiders under any circumstances, so others don't know about it.
I just didn't expect that Qi would mention it one day.
Mrs. Qi then continued: "So, she has never been a truly kind-hearted person, and she has never really been so considerate and caring about others.
What's more, I know better than anyone else that she is the strongest, not to mention the other noble girls who are similar to her in the capital, let alone the Xie family.
She is already the most promising and famous girl in the Xie family, but facing her sisters, she has never relaxed. Whenever the girl from the third bedroom brings any new jewelry or wears any new tricks, the next day
Her house must have it, and it must not be worse than others.
When someone thanked the sixth girl for her good looks, she was so angry that she let someone secretly put something in someone's rouge. If that girl's skin hadn't been sensitive, she would have noticed something was wrong the first day, and we don't know what would happen next."
Mother Liang had never heard of this matter even in the Summer Palace. She couldn't help being shocked and exclaimed: "Madam! Since you knew about such a thing, why didn't you stop it? What if the sixth girl just did this?
My face is bad, then..."
Mrs. Qi was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Stop it? At that time, I just thought Mrs. Yu was good at pretending. She knows how to pretend to be a talented girl all day long. I really couldn't stand it. Her daughter was said to be compared to others.
My daughter is good-looking, but that Xie Sihua is also light-boned, and he still shows off his power in front of my daughter.
I wished in my heart that something happened to her face, so when she came to me crying and confessed her mistake, I just felt distressed and hated myself for not making her look prettier, how could I have thought of anything else."
Mother Liang never expected to hear such words from Qi's mouth, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Qi probably saw through her thoughts and smiled to herself, "Isn't it a bit ridiculous? Now that I think about it, I am indeed a bit ridiculous.
So I have never been a qualified mother, not only for her, but also for Brother Lang, and I am the same. I always force him to read, force him to make progress, force him to compare with others, so that he can be better.
I can compare with others."
"Madam, you didn't force me to do this. Our brother is already motivated. Look at the whole capital, how many people can compare with our brother?
My brother is a filial child, and he wanted to make you famous. In addition, he was born smart, so he passed the exam and got the official status he has today."
Mrs. Qi shook her head slightly, "I certainly have something to say about Brother Lang, but that happened later. When it comes to her, in fact, I am more aware of the selfishness in her temperament.
Why do you think Brother Wen, the elder brother, didn’t like her later? Apart from anything else, there is absolutely no redeeming quality about An.
But the son she gave birth to is actually a real treasure. He is kind to everyone and is sincere to everyone. Look at the many brothers and sisters in this house, who has a bad relationship with him?
Our concubine always brings back gifts, and her sister will not be left behind."
Mother Liang nodded lightly and said, "The eldest young master is really a rare and honest man."
"But such a sincere person treats her differently. Do you know why? It's really ridiculous to say it. It's because he gave her the same thing as Tu'er on Women's Day that year. What are the details?
I can't remember exactly what it was, but I vaguely remember that the pattern of something Tu'er got that time had a better meaning and was more beautiful than hers.
From then on, she was no longer happy to play with her eldest sister. However, the eldest sister was a bigoted person and did not notice her emotions at all. On the contrary, she still had a good relationship with the other sisters.
This actually made her feel resentful. She actually felt that the eldest brother was deliberately targeting her, and later did a few things. It was a pity that although the eldest brother was a little big-hearted, he was not that slow.
He avoided it, and because of this, the relationship between the two people immediately became cold."
How did Liang's mother know that there was such a festival? She couldn't help but sigh: "This is too small-minded."
Mrs. Qi smiled bitterly and said: "With her, if anyone does anything bad to her, everything in the past can be erased, just like me at this time.
I don't even know what I failed to do to make her complain to me so much, which directly wiped out the mother-daughter relationship we had for so many years."
Mother Liang's expression was complicated, and she didn't know how to persuade her. She held her breath for a long time and said, "Madam, this is none of your business. It's all...it's all her fault."
Ms. Qi shook her head slightly, "Since I can tell you all these things today, it means that I have really let go and accepted this reality.
But think about it, with her temperament and her cleverness, how could the incident at the New Year's Eve banquet have nothing to do with her?
I have met and spoken to that girl from the Ye family several times. I dare not say anything else. She would not do such unwise behavior as she would get involved in the affairs of the Prince and the Zhao family.
, since it was done, there must be a reason, and the person who benefited in the end was her, so everything is clear."
Mother Liang nodded lightly, "My wife thought it through clearly, so it seems there is nothing wrong. I just don't know how she did it all."
Ms. Qi chuckled lightly, "It doesn't matter whether she knows it or not. She will eventually achieve her goal, but..."
She looked at the void in the distance again, "Now that I have decided to wake up, there are some things that I have to face. The struggle between friendship and enmity. Except for me, the rest will probably go to my brother Lang."
