Qin Jingshu lowered her head and did not dare to say the name of Mrs. Xianguo.

During this period, she wrote to her mother several times to beg her, but the other party always scolded her back with such words. According to Mrs. Xian Guo, her daughter wanted to go out to the palace because she ignored the honor of the family and was a complete white-eyed wolf.

Concubine Li Xian touched her adopted daughter's hair and said, "No matter who said it, don't listen. I raised you so I can experience the joy of being a parent. I should be the one thanking you."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Li Xian in disbelief.

She immediately received the soft gaze of her foster mother.

"Concubine Shun is blessed to have a biological child, but I am not necessarily an unlucky person. You have been with me for nearly a year, and I almost forgot that you are not my biological daughter." Concubine Li Xian said with a smile.

She has been taking Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu to and from school for a while, and she must admit that Niu Niu is a particularly lovable little girl.

But after all, she had raised Qin Jingshu for a while. Sometimes when looking at the two little girls, she always felt that Niuniu was someone else's child.

Qin Jingshu imitated the way Niu Niu got along with the Queen Mother, and slowly walked into Concubine Li Xian's arms: "Concubine, you are just like my own mother."

Concubine Li Xian felt a sore nose and hugged the little girl tighter.

Concubine Li Xian was a person who kept her word. She was determined to fulfill her daughter's request and asked to see the emperor and the queen mother in the shortest possible time.

Because it concerned family members, and it was Concubine Li Xian, the adoptive mother, who requested it herself, both the Queen Mother and the Emperor readily agreed.

The Queen Mother also asked her niece one more time: "Aren't you afraid that she will not come back after leaving the palace?"

Concubine Li Xian said helplessly: "Aunt, I will be very happy if I can take care of you for a while."

The Queen Mother turned around and said: "It's not the same thing to keep these children in the palace all the time. The Ai family and the emperor plan to release these children from the palace in a few years and find a good marriage for them. Complete."

Concubine Li Xian also wanted to fight for more for her adopted daughter and asked: "Aunt, I heard someone said early that you are going to ask for a title for Niu Niu. I don't know what your plans are for the other children..."

The Queen Mother glanced at her: "Just put your heart into your stomach, the royal family will not treat these children badly."

Concubine Li Xian was very relieved when she heard this.

But Qin Jingshu's hard work for the opportunity to return home was definitely not as pleasant as she imagined.

As soon as she arrived home, Mrs. Xianguo lost her temper.

"Who asked you to come out? She's just an aunt. Why are you so concerned?"

Tears welled up in Qin Jingshu's eyes after being scolded by her mother, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "Auntie has always been very good to me and cared about me like a mother. I can't not see her for the last time..."

However, Mrs. Xianguo glared at her fiercely: "Don't you have a biological mother? Do you need to find maternal care in others? Or are you blaming me for not doing a good enough job?"

Qin Jingshu's lips trembled, and she did not dare to answer these words.

The person who came to rescue her was still her eldest brother Qin Jing.

"Mom, since my sister is back, why do you need to be more harsh? It's better to let her visit her aunt as soon as possible to avoid regrets."

Qin Jing walked in at some point and put her hand on her sister's thin shoulder.

When Qin Jingshu saw her brother, she felt like she had seen a savior.

Mrs. Xian Guo Gong saw her son walking in wearing official robes. Apparently she hurried back from the Yamen after receiving the news.

"Why did such a trivial matter reach you?" asked Mrs. Xianguo.

Qin Jing often feels that his mother's stubbornness makes him embarrassed.

His mother unconditionally met all the demands of his eldest son, but she was always as mean as a stepmother when it came to her younger sister.

It is precisely because of this that he will be so anxious when receiving a message from his sister, for fear that mother and daughter will conflict again.

He rubbed his brows tiredly at this time and said: "Mother, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house? It's a good thing for my sister to be filial to her elders, so why do you stop me?"

Seeing that she couldn't deal with it, Mrs. Xianguo could only give her daughter a helpless look: "Okay, since your brother has interceded for you, then go ahead and don't delay your brother's business!"

Qin Jingshu's face suddenly beamed with joy, and she ran to the backyard almost like flying.

When there were only mother and son in the room, Qin Jing said again: "Mother, when my sister comes home this time, you should not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, and don't stare at her too closely."

"I know, I know." Mrs. Xianguo agreed without hesitation.

Qin Jing couldn't keep trying to persuade her, so she got up and was about to leave. Mrs. Xianguo suddenly defended herself: "It's not that I don't like the good relationship between your sister and your second aunt, but your second aunt's surname is Li. If your sister gets too close to her, I'm afraid it will offend the people above."

Qin Jing paused after hearing this, and then said: "Don't worry, mother, the Li family has been getting married all over the capital in the past few years, and there are many relatives. None of them have been implicated, and nothing will happen to the Xianguo Palace."

Mrs. Xianguo waited for her son to leave, then sat back with a frown, thinking that her son was still too naive. The emperor did not anger the Li family's in-laws, but how could these families dare to keep the Li family's female relatives?

Qin Jingshu entered the courtyard of the second room. It was always lively here in the past, but today it was particularly deserted.

The relationship between the second uncle and the second aunt has always been very good, but she saw no sign of him today. The servants who used to be always orderly were now scattered lazily in every corner of the yard.

Only when they saw Qin Jingshu coming in did someone stand up and greet her, but it was very perfunctory.

"Miss San is here, Madam Er has been waiting for you."

The speaker was Xiaoqing, Madam Er's personal maid.

Qin Jingshu noticed that Xiaoqing's eyes were red, as if she had cried for several times.

"Aunt...Aunt she...Could it be..." Qin Jingshu was a little afraid to say the next word.

Xiaoqing shook her head and urged Qin Jingshu to go into the house.

"Miss San, you will know when you go in. If it weren't for waiting for you, Madam would not have been able to hold on for so long." Xiaoqing cried and said.

Qin Jingshu pushed open the door and walked in.

There was no one else in the room, but the originally bright and beautiful room now seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, and everything seemed so old and decayed.

She smelled a strong smell of medicine at the tip of her nose. She slowly walked to the bed and saw that the woman on the bed was now skinny.

The moment Madam Er saw Qin Jingshu, her eyes burst into amazing brilliance.

"You're back... You're finally back... My baby... Daughter..." The Second Lady said with effort, as if this short sentence had exhausted all her strength.
