Chapter 402

Chapter 402

Cui momo personally sent Old Physician Li out. Qin Zeyu quickly walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, following Cui momo’s example of massaging Old Madam Qin’s acupoints in her hand as he sweetly coaxed her. “Grandma, don’t say it as if you are hopeless, you still have to pick up a sister-in-law for big brother!”

Old Madam Qin, similar to old people, like to be coaxed by the younger generation, so when Qin Zeyu teased her, she could not help but laugh thinking this was indeed a good reason. Just a few days ago, she was thinking of picking a wife for her eldest grandson, and right now this matter must be put on the agenda; otherwise, when her third granddaughter gets married, who would manage this big marquis mansion?!

The more Old Madam Qin thought about it, the more she felt that she needed to quickly recuperate herself and her eyes began to shine.

Qin Zeyu took the teacup from the maidservant and personally handed it to Old Madam Qin, continuing to coax her, “Grandmother, drink tea.”

This tea was a medicinal tea, also prescribed by Imperial Physician Xu, which nourishes qi and calm mind.

After Old Madam Qin drinks the medicinal tea, her complexion eases. She asked. “When will your second uncle be exiled?”

Qin Zening answers, “20th of the nine month.”

“...... “Old Madam Qin was silent as she twirled the Buddha beads in her hand, and did not speak for a long time.

It wasn’t until Cui momo came in again that Old Madam Qin whispered, “He hates me.” He hated her for not obeying his wishes and not begging the eldest grandson to save him. Thus, once he realized that dingyu* was beneficial, he gave her up.

(*mourning after the death of parents)

Qin Zening also understood and remained silent in response.

Old Madam Qin had been depressed for several days over this matter. Fortunately, Qin Zeyu was a sweet talker; except for studying and practicing martial arts, he would run to Ronghe Hall and coax her when he had nothing to do.

This old madam was originally soft-eared, so now that someone was encouraging her, she gradually regained her spirit, but after going through this catastrophe, her appearance looked several years older.

Originally, Old Madam Qin, who was in her fifties, looked like she was still in her forties, but now, her temple was covered with white hair, and the corner of her forehead and eyes had a few deep wrinkles, making the person look much older.

After resting for another three days, Old Madam Qin was able to get out of bed and walk around. Qin Zeyu volunteered to accompany her go for a walk in the small garden, Qin Jiu was also there.

Qin Zeyu who heard this for the first time slightly widened his eyes in shock.

Old Madam Qin’s eyes were in a trance, “Xin’er was only three years old when she first came to the mansion, so what can a three-year-old child know and she couldn’t possibly have had the opportunity to interact with the Li family again afterwards, so how could she possibly know so much, that’s why I’ve always believe she was innocent and it was because your older brother was overthinking.”

Withdrawing her gaze, Old Madam Qin looked at Qin Jiu and grabbed her hands. “But now, I believe it.”

“Xin’er has always known that truth, she knows that she is not from the Qin family so no matter how well I treat her, for her, the Qin family is just an outsider...even if I single handedly brought her up.”

With these few words, Old Madam Qin’s voice grew hoarse, and her eyes flooded with water again; however, she quickly calmed down and wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Cui momo, who quietly listened to the side, sarcastically said to herself: Qin Xin is just a white-eyed wolf who is not well fed with Old Madam’s kind hearted heart!

Looking at Old Madam Qin’s sad face, Qin Zeyu quickly calmed down and affectionately hugged the old madam, as he said: ”Grandma, don’t be sad. Third sister said that people always needed to be stupid a few times to learn from their mistakes. As long as you don’t commit the same stupidity again after you’ve been stupid, you’ll be fine.”

Qin Jiu: “...”

The corner of Qin Jiu’s eyes twitched, as she thought that Qin Zeyu was indeed a brat, a jerk and a dick!

“It’s Jiu’er who sees clearly.” Old Madam Qin’s hand tightly gripped Qin Jiu’s right hand and sincerely said, “Jiu’er, it’s grandma who has wronged you.” As she said this, her eyes began to redden again.

“...” Qin Jiu felt sourness in her heart as if she had a grievance that was hard to describe in words, followed by a lake-like serenity calming her down again as if she was relieved and let go of things.

Qin Jiu knew that it was the emotions of the original owner. The original owner probably wanted to hear this sentence all this time. In the novel, the original owner’s life was too short and oppressed.

Pursing her lips Qin Jiu just smiled but did not respond.

Because the person Old Madam Qin was sorry for was no longer here...

She had no right to forgive Old Madam Qin instead of the original owner.
