The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 20: Take Aunt Su's Daughter Back Home

Xinhe wanted to inquire about the news about Concubine Shen in the palace, but under her mother's strict control, no one dared to say anything in the house.

Poor Miss Xinhe, she walked around every corner of the Qin Mansion with her short legs and ears perked up every day, hoping to get some more news. Unfortunately, even after running so many legs, she still couldn't get any news about Concubine Shen.

In fact, ever since the two little girls were beaten with ten boards last time, the servants in the mansion heard that it was because the young lady heard the two of them gossiping about right and wrong, so the lady found out and punished them.

Therefore, after this incident, whether it was the maids or the guards, when they saw the young lady coming, they all kept their mouths shut and dared not say a word. They almost ran away when they heard that the young lady was coming.

A few days later, Xin He finally discovered this strange phenomenon. She looked at Liu Niang who was following her in confusion and said, "Nanny, do they not like Xin Er? Why did they run away when they saw Xin Er coming?"

Liu Niang looked at the maids and servants who were trying to avoid her, and she suppressed her laughter as she comforted her young lady: "Our young lady is a fairy from heaven, how could they not like her? They are unruly, and I will discipline them later."

Xin He shook her head sullenly, "No, don't hit them." Liu Niang picked up the kind young lady, "Okay, listen to you, I won't hit them, I'll just teach them the rules. Don't worry, young lady, let's go find the master and the lady. It's time for lunch."

Lunch finally aroused Xinhe's enthusiasm, and Xinhe immediately revived to full health. So she happily followed the nanny to find her parents.

As soon as I walked into the inner courtyard hall, I heard a woman sobbing: "Brother Mingxuan, Yun'er has such a miserable life! Her husband died early, and her mother-in-law hated me for killing her son. She took away my daughter and didn't allow us to meet. Every time I went to see my daughter, I was turned away."

It was that bad woman Su Peiyun who had returned. Xin'er immediately signaled the nurse to put her down, and quietly hid by the door to peek at the bad woman.

Dad and Mom sat in the center of the main hall, and Su Peiyun sat in a side seat. She was wearing a smoky blue dress, her eyes filled with tears, which made her look even more pitiful.

Humph, this bad woman always plays pitiful to gain sympathy, but little does anyone know that this seemingly weak woman is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion behind the scenes. Xin He gritted his teeth secretly and continued to watch this woman play pitiful.

"This time when I went to see my daughter, my mother-in-law pointed at me and yelled at me. My poor daughter is already three years old, and as a mother I can't be with her. I feel so heartbroken!"

Su Peiyun wiped her tears with a handkerchief while speaking. Qin Mingxuan lowered his head and said nothing. Ji Wanran looked at Su Peiyun with complicated eyes and was also sad and speechless. As a mother, Ji Wanran still sympathized with Su Peiyun's experience. She didn't know how to comfort Su Peiyun.

Xinhe looked at her mother's complicated eyes and knew that her kind-hearted mother must have been softened by Su Peiyun's lies.

She clearly saw Su Peiyun wiping her tears and secretly checking her father and mother's faces with her handkerchief. She was pretending, and she knew it was fake.

Su Peiyun saw that Ji Wanran's cold eyes had softened at this moment, and she felt secretly proud in her heart, and continued to cry in a fake manner: "Uncle Qin found a good family for me, and he hoped that I would have a worry-free life. Who would have known... who would have known... that I would end up like this. I am really sorry to Uncle Qin. Sob... "

Xin He couldn't listen any more. This bad woman actually mentioned her grandfather again, saying that she felt sorry for her grandfather. In fact, she was openly and secretly blaming her grandfather for finding a bad husband for her, causing her to become a widow at a young age and separate her mother and daughter. She was so pitiful. In fact, she wanted to imply to her father that it was the Qin family who felt sorry for her, and make her father feel guilty, just like her grandfather, who took good care of Su Peiyun out of guilt, and coax her father and mother into treating her well.

She crossed the threshold angrily, called out "mother" and threw herself into Ji Wanran's arms. Su Peiyun was acting vigorously when she was interrupted by the little girl who broke in.

When she saw the fat girl throwing herself into Ji Wanran's arms, she gave her a fierce look. This little girl used to be at odds with her and always looked at her with disgust and disgust. Su Peiyun didn't care.

But today, the look this child gave her made her feel cold all over. That look was full of hatred, and it was definitely not the look a three-year-old child could produce. Su Peiyun was so overwhelmed by that look that she forgot how to continue her acting.

Xin He was held on her mother's lap. She looked at her in confusion, "Mom, why is Aunt Su crying? She's crying like an opera singer on stage. It's so sweet!"

Su Peiyun almost choked when she heard what the little girl said. This damned little girl's words were really poisonous. She was so angry that she had nothing to say.

Ji Wanran had just heard the tragic story of the separation of mother and daughter, and now she almost laughed out loud when she heard her little girl's words. In order not to embarrass Su Peiyun, she coughed and held back her laughter and said, "Your Aunt Su misses her daughter!"

Su Peiyun smiled awkwardly at Xinhe, her smile was uglier than crying. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief in a hypocritical manner: "Aunt Su's daughter is the same age as Miss Xinhe, but my poor daughter can't be loved by her mother like Miss Xinhe, how pitiful!"

Xin He couldn't help but roll her eyes at her again, cursing inwardly, "Humph, it's all your fault. You stole my daughter and separated me from my daughter. You're so mean."

Xin He ignored her and looked at her father: "Dad, since Aunt Su misses her daughter so much, why don't you go to Aunt Su's house and plead for her and bring Aunt Su's daughter over to raise in our house."

Su Peiyun's face changed and she began to stutter: "No, it's impossible. They won't agree."

Xin He immediately refuted her: "Why not? I heard that the grandfather of this family is my grandfather's best friend. Grandfather married Aunt Su to this family because he saw that their family has a good family tradition. We just need to say some good things to Aunt Su's mother-in-law. Xin Er thinks that most kind-hearted people would not have the heart to see the mother and daughter separated. Only those with evil minds would do such a thing. Aunt Su, do you think Xin Er is right?"

This sentence made Su Peiyun speechless. Why did she feel that this stinky girl was scolding her? She couldn't give a reason for her objection, so she could only look at Qin Mingxuan nervously.

Qin Mingxuan looked at his wife, and Ji Wanran also felt that what his fat daughter said made sense. If Su Peiyun's daughter was taken over and raised in the mansion, the mansion would not mind raising one more person.

Su Peiyun went to see her daughter every once in a while, but was always rejected. After coming back, she cried in front of the couple, and they had already said all the words of persuasion and comfort they could.

On the day of Su Peiyun's wedding, Ji Wanran met Su Peiyun's husband and mother-in-law. The young man was handsome, elegant, and gentle. Her mother was also a kind and amiable old lady. No matter how you think about it, she is different from the evil mother-in-law that Su Peiyun mentioned.

Ji Wanran nodded to her husband: "Husband, why don't we give it a try. Maybe the old lady is too sad about losing her son in her old age and her temperament has changed drastically. Maybe if we go and persuade the old lady, who knows what Xin'er said may really work. The old lady will agree to let us take Peiyun's daughter over."

Su Peiyun panicked as she saw that Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran were both persuaded by this stinky girl. Once Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran went to her husband's house, all the lies she had woven would be exposed.

Su Peiyun stood up suddenly, took two steps towards Qin Mingxuan, and quickly asked him, "Brother Mingxuan, please don't go yet. Brother Mingxuan is busy with court affairs, and Sister Wanran is busy with government affairs. You two really can't leave each other. You can't go back and forth for my little thing!"

Xin He knew that Su Peiyun would panic when she heard that she was going to bring her daughter back. Xin He recalled that when she lit the first incense stick, her soul traveled through her past life and saw that when Su Peiyun coaxed her mother to go out to burn incense, her husband had not died yet. She came back crying and said that she was pregnant, but her husband's family insisted that she give birth to a boy or they would give her husband a concubine. It must be a lie. This bad woman was full of lies. She lied about being pregnant to get her mother's sympathy so that she could coax her mother to go out to burn incense.

The baby in her belly must be a fake. She must have already planned to secretly take the baby away from her mother and let her mother suffer the pain of separation.

And after she took the child away, she would definitely not raise the child in her husband's home. She would probably raise the child secretly in a house outside, just like the courtyard house she saw in her previous life.

And when she went back to visit her daughter, she would definitely not go back to her husband's house. She didn't dare let her husband's family know about the child, nor could she let the Qin family know that her husband's family didn't actually have the child.

Xinhe heard from Liu Niang that after Su Peiyun's husband passed away, her mother-in-law took her son's coffin and Su Peiyun back to her husband's ancestral home, which was far away from the capital.

Later, it was also Old Master Qin who received Su Peiyun's letter, in which she begged Old Master Qin to take her back to the capital, saying that she was being tortured by her mother-in-law.

Ever since Su Peiyun lost her father, Old Master Qin has always felt guilty for not finding a healthy husband for her, causing her to become a widow at a young age. After receiving the letter, he sent someone to bring Su Peiyun back without thinking too much.

The people who came to pick up Su Peiyun only brought Su Peiyun back. Su Peiyun cried and said that her husband's family would rather die than let her child go back to the capital. After that, she often left the capital in the name of visiting her daughter.

Because her husband's family lived too far from the capital, the connection between the two families was basically severed after the death of Old Master Qin. Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran never thought of going to Su Peiyun's husband's family to investigate whether what she said was true or false.

Therefore, he has been deceived by Su Peiyun, and has been living a carefree life in the Qin Mansion by taking advantage of Old Master Qin's guilt and Qin Mingxuan's promise to Old Master Qin before his death.

Today, Xinhe asked Su Peiyun in front of her that her parents should go and take Su Peiyun's child back to Beijing. Su Peiyun didn't have a daughter at all, and she didn't dare to send the stolen child as her own daughter.

Su Peiyun knew that the child was her twin. As soon as the child showed up, others could tell that something was wrong. It would be strange if Su Peiyun didn't panic!

Xin He watched Su Peiyun trying to refuse Qin Mingxuan from picking up her daughter, and thought to herself, "Bad woman, let's see how you can conjure up a daughter?"

She saw that her father was a little hesitant after hearing what Su Peiyun said. It was true that her father and mother had a lot of things to do and could not spare the time to leave Beijing for the time being. This was indeed very troublesome.

She rolled her dark eyes and said to her mother, "Mother and father are indeed very busy, but mother can send the nanny by her side to pick up the child. Father just needs to write a letter to persuade the old lady to let us take the child away and promise that we will take good care of Aunt Su's child."

She looked at Qin Mingxuan again: "Dad, think about it, the old lady is the child's grandmother. If she can send the child to her biological mother in Beijing, who would be willing to leave the child in a remote place and delay the child? Nannan thinks that all grandmothers love their grandchildren and hope that she is well. Isn't that right, Dad?"

Ji Wanran listened to her fat daughter speaking in a serious and logical manner, and she touched her daughter's big head with satisfaction, feeling very proud of her.

Although my daughter was smart before, she has become more sensible and polite after recovering from her illness.

When it comes to Su Peiyun's daughter, my husband and I always listen to her crying and feel a little sympathetic towards her, but we have never thought about really solving this problem.

My daughter is right. Even if a grandmother has a feud with her daughter-in-law, she will always be loving and caring to her grandchildren. Sending the child to the capital will obviously be good for the child's future. How could a grandmother refuse?

Ji Wanran made up her mind and discussed with Qin Mingxuan: "My husband, I think what Xinhe said makes sense. I will send my capable nanny to make the trip. Since Liu Niang has to take care of Nannan and can't leave, let Wu Ma go. My husband, please write a letter and send a few guards from the mansion to go with us to ensure a safe trip. This way, we can definitely get things done properly."

Qin Mingxuan heard that the madam's arrangement was very appropriate, so he nodded and said, "Just do as the madam said. I will write a letter later and ask Uncle Qin to bring two guards with him. Uncle Qin is an old servant who follows my father. He is quite familiar with Peiyun's husband's family. The old madam will give him some face."

Su Peiyun watched Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran finalize the matter of bringing the child back to Beijing, and could not help but look at the little fat girl in Ji Wanran's arms with shock and anger.

It was this stinky girl who persuaded Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran to go to their ancestral home to pick up the child and bring it back to Beijing with just a few words. Where could they pick up a child? She had deceived Ji Wanran to take her child away and deceived the old man Qin's pity. She pretended to be pregnant, but she didn't have her husband's child at all. The weak scholar had been sick after marriage and died of illness not long after. It was the Qin family that made her a widow at a young age.

Seeing that she couldn't stop Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran's decision, she could only accept it temporarily and think of another way later. She tore the handkerchief in her hand angrily, thinking that she had to contact her master as soon as possible and ask her master to help her pass this test. The master would definitely help her, because the master still needed her to continue to be an insider in the Qin Mansion.
