Qiao Lan got up and called the maid to prepare water for her to wash up, then closed the door and ate breakfast alone.
Qiao Lan picked up a cooked egg on the plate, knocked it towards the corner of the table, rolled it in the palm of her hand, peeled off the egg shell bit by bit, and chatted with the system in her head.
.
"You said I cried all night last night. Was it me crying, or was it Qiao's crying?" Qiao Lan asked doubtfully.
Although she felt upset, she was far from that sad. She cried all night while dreaming.
[When the host is bound to this body, all the souls in the body have dissipated.] The answer given by 1818 is very clear.
"Is there no surprise?"
[Human emotions are a very complex thing, and the body is a container of emotions. 1818 cannot explain emotions from a scientific level. If the host still feels sad, 1818 can try to enlighten the host! 】
"No, I'm fine!" Qiao Lan just sighed a little.
To her, Qiao's memories are like items hidden in a mountain of transparent boxes in the attic. She doesn't know where something is exactly, and she can't open it all at once. She only has a rough outline.
After what happened yesterday, all Qiao's resentments over the years were revealed in her mind.
Qiao Lan feels that Qiao and her husband have reached this stage because both of them have problems.
She sees it from the perspective of a bystander.
We can see some shortcomings in Ms. Qiao's body. She was raised pampered and brought up with her own pride and a bit of a temper. As a daughter of an aristocratic family, her husband came from a poor family but worked hard to make progress.
In the circle of noble ladies around her, the precarious Qiao family was a handful of mud hanging over her head, but it was Duan Yuexiu's single-mindedness that made her the envy of everyone.
Ms. Qiao enjoys the envious looks of people around her, feels complacent in her heart, and often boasts about it in front of outsiders, but her love for her husband is also true.
But Duan Yuexiu suddenly created an outer room, and it was like a bucket of sewage poured directly on her, ruining her exquisite makeup and gorgeous dresses, and ruining everything she had worked hard for.
The relationship between the couple broke down...
In the following decades, the relationship between husband and wife never eased. It was not that Duan Yuexiu did not admit his mistake, but that Mr. Qiao was unwilling to accept it.
When Duan Yuexiu was dying, her family's children and grandchildren invited Mrs. Qiao to come over, but Mrs. Qiao did not go. She only grieved in front of her body for a day, then she fell seriously ill and stayed behind closed doors.
Duan Yuexiu did not tell her the truth about Qiao's temperament, and Qiao Lan also understood to some extent. If Qiao knew the truth, maybe the women in the back house would know about it tomorrow, and the streets and alleys of the capital would know about it the day after tomorrow.
At that time, the Duan family's eldest son had passed away, the second son was ineffective, the fourth son was still young, and there were a house full of children. The Duan family needed someone to support them.
Duan Mingqing is the best candidate. Only by letting him take the imperial examination and become an official can he protect this family. This is probably the best ending that Duan Yuexiu can think of, so he allows this mistake to continue.
As for Duan Yuexiu himself, although he acted like a gentleman, he was too generous to others.
For the Du family in Duanjia Village, he gave them the income from the old house and fields. For Tang Yunqing, he patiently led his family to find people.
This is especially true for Mrs. Qiao! The husband and wife have been together for more than ten years. Duan Yuexiu is well aware that Mr. Qiao has some minor problems. Instead of correcting his wife and teaching her to become better, he blindly tolerates her and makes her even worse.
Qiao Lan felt that if she were Duan Yuexiu and a child needed her to go, she would never be able to be so careful. After she went there a few times, she might ask her assistant to handle everything on her behalf. The child would have to be willing if he didn't want to, and he wouldn't let him
Too long.
If Duan Yuexiu's fault is that he is too kind, then Shi Xiyuan's fault is that he is not kind at all. He has no heart!
A family member died in the capital without a tombstone, and he did not come back for decades.
If he is serious and comes back every few years, he might meet his friends and know that his wife and son are still there.
But he didn't! He was too cold-hearted and too selfish.
If Shi Xiyuan had the three-point virtue of Duan Yuexiu, he would have found his son long ago!
Therefore, you can neither learn from Duan Yuexiu nor Shi Xiyuan in life. You will be bullied if you are too kind, and you will lose a lot if you are too indifferent.
Qiao Lan sighed and saw that most of the swelling on her eyelids had disappeared and she had almost eaten breakfast. She turned on the land detection function of the system to check the status of her 10,000 acres of fields.
Outside the courtyard, the maids and women were watching quietly.
In the room in the main courtyard, Duan Mingjing and others gathered together. After breakfast, the children went to study and go to class. No one spoke in the room, and it was eerily quiet.
Until there was a slight movement at the door, everyone in the room looked at it.
Mrs. Wang walked in slowly, her expression brisk.
"Sister-in-law, how is mother?" Duan Mingjing asked with concern.
Mrs. Wang said easily: "When Grandma Xiang came into the house to pour tea, she said that my mother had used all the breakfast and ordered them to spread paper and grind it!"
Being able to work as usual proves that you are okay!
The people in the room breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Duan Mingjing nodded and suddenly spoke: "What about Shi Xiyuan?"
Mr. Duan felt that he was a man with a clear sense of right and wrong. In his opinion, the feud between Shi Xiyuan and his parents was inseparable. He was busy talking to Duan Mingqing yesterday and forgot about this person.
Now that I think about him still living in the house, eating his own food and sleeping in his own house, I feel angry just thinking about it.
Mentioning Shi Xiyuan, Wang's face showed embarrassment.
Even if the Wang family didn't like him, Shi Xiyuan was her father's savior after all, and was brought to the capital by her brother.
Just when Mrs. Wang was confused about how to deal with this person, Duan Mingqing suddenly said: "I will deal with this person."
Wang looked at Duan Mingqing worriedly: "Third brother, do you really want to go?"
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, just let me go." Duan Mingqing insisted.
Wang nodded and let Duan Mingqing handle it by himself, which was most appropriate.
Mrs. Liu was still looking at her husband with some worry. Except for the children of the Duan family, the rest of the family knew about what happened yesterday.
Everyone was filled with emotion after hearing this!
This is an old story of my elders' adulthood. It is not their turn to distinguish right from wrong. The only hope in my heart is that the old lady can be well and not to be too distracted by this matter.
No one knew what Duan Mingqing did with Shi Xiyuan. They only knew that Shi Xiyuan packed up his things and left Duan's house that afternoon, leaving only Wang Kaizhi in the guest room.
Qiao Lan heard about Shi Xiyuan's departure in the afternoon and called Duan Mingqing to him.
Qiao Lan: "If one day, Shi Xiyuan really beats gongs and drums to recognize you, what are you going to do?"
Duan Mingqing's answer was decisive: "Mom, my son is a member of the Duan family when he is born, and a ghost of the Duan family when he dies. I will not change my name, and I have no other parents. My son will take care of you until the end of his life..."
Needless to say, it is necessary to provide for retirement!
Qiao Lan feels that she is still young and does not need to think about it so early.
She thought for a while and said: "Do you hate Shi Xiyuan?"
