After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Qin Jingshu certainly didn't want to agree to this condition.

She recalled every bit of her time with Niu Niu. If the care that the Second Lady occasionally brought her in the past filled some of the blanks about her mother, then Niu Niu was her only friend.

Niu Niu taught her what a real family is and taught her how to express herself bravely.

It was also after meeting Niu Niu that Qin Jingshu felt that her situation at home was gradually improving. She felt more and more like a person, not a tool in the eyes of her elders.

Yes, a tool.

She looked at the Second Lady, who was lying on the bed with a haggard look, and she felt that she was no different from a tool.

"Is it enough for me to become the queen?" Qin Jingshu asked.

The Second Lady's eyes suddenly burst into amazing spirits, and she grabbed her daughter's hand: "When you become the queen, you can reverse the case for the Li family. You have to bring back the exiled relatives of the Li family. You must always remember that you also have half of the blood of the Li family. It is because we have worked hard for you that you are where you are today!"

Qin Jingshu sighed deeply.

Good children really can't lie.

But her good friend Niuniu also said that sometimes you have to tell some white lies, just like now, she is facing a dying person.

"I promise you." Qin Jingshu said.

The second wife breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When you grow up... you will know... I am doing this for your own good..."

After getting her daughter's promise, the second wife's tight string also loosened, and then she gradually declined.

Qin Jingshu accompanied her for another whole day. The second wife was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep. When she was awake, she would grab her daughter and ask the child to promise this again and again.

Qin Jingshu accompanied her honestly.

The second room master did not show up all day, as if the love between the second room couple in the past was just a mirage.

The next morning, Qin Jingshu had just gotten up when a maid came in with a sullen face and reported: "Miss, the second wife died last night. You need to change your clothes."

Qin Jingshu's nose was sour. Even though she knew that the other party was using her as a tool, she couldn't help feeling sad. After all, in the past years, the second wife did give her warmth and was still her biological mother.

But from then on, her life experience was like a mountain, weighing heavily on her.

Qin Jingshu was helped by the servants to change into mourning clothes and was led into the mourning hall by hand.

The second wife was allowed to die in the Xian Guogong Mansion during her last days. Now that she is dead, because of her surname, the funeral was not held in a big way. Compared with her status as the second wife of the Xian Guogong Mansion, the mourning hall was very simple.

Qin Jingshu was sent to kneel behind Qin Jing and her second brother as a junior.

The wife of Duke Xian frowned slightly and whispered, "Why did she die at this time? With this incident, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold a flower viewing banquet this year."

The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at her daughter-in-law, sighed, and said, "The second daughter-in-law made a good medicinal diet, what a pity."

Qin Jingshu felt sad in her heart. The second wife died, and it seemed that no one at the scene was really sad for her.

The wife of Duke Xian asked the servants to bring a few cushions over: "Although it is spring now, the ground is still cold, don't freeze the children's knees."

She turned back and said to her two sons, "After all, she is just your aunt, and the relationship is not that close. It will be fine after a while. If the guests are not here, you can rest for a while."

Qin Jing shook his head and said to his mother, "I didn't have the opportunity to be filial to my aunt when she was alive. Now that she is gone, I should also mourn for her."

When he said this, Qin Er, who wanted to take the opportunity to rest, stopped moving, and could only kneel down and go back honestly.

Lady Xian Guogong thought that her eldest son was too rigid, but he was her future support after all, so she said nothing and turned her eyes to Lady Rongjia.

"Cry with more heart, you can't even pretend!" Lady Xian Guogong scolded her daughter-in-law harshly.

Lady Rongjia lowered her head and rolled her eyes, then pretended to be sad. In the past, she might not have looked down on the position of the second young lady of the Xian Guogong Mansion.

If it weren't for the Qi Wang Mansion, she wouldn't have to act according to Lady Xian Guogong's face like now.

Lady Rongjia married into the Xian Guogong Mansion before the beginning of spring, so she didn't have to face the situation of exile like other family members, but there were many difficulties in the Duke's Mansion.

But even if her mother-in-law made things difficult and there were a lot of little goblins in her husband's yard, she didn't have the slightest intention of divorce.

After Lady Xian Guogong had finished finding faults with her youngest daughter-in-law, her eyes fell on her eldest son's daughter-in-law. Compared to her youngest daughter-in-law's family, she was the granddaughter of the cabinet elder. With such an identity, she naturally could not find fault with her, and she took back the reprimand that she was about to say.

But the anger in her heart still did not dissipate, and finally her eyes fell on her youngest daughter.

"Cry, cry, you're gone when you come back, you should cry for her." Lady Xian Guogong said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"Mother!" Qin Jing was the first to jump out to stop her.

The old lady also looked at Lady Xian Guogong with a warning look.

Although Lady Xian Guogong's words were implicit, they were not much different from accusing Qin Jingshu of killing her aunt.

"Old eldest daughter-in-law, if you are tired, go to the back and rest for a while." The old lady said.

Mrs. Xian Guogong was a little embarrassed. She didn't know why she couldn't control her mouth. Of course, she didn't think it was her problem. Instead, she thought it was because Qin Jingshu was too unpleasant, so she couldn't help but get angry when she saw her.

Qin Jingshu raised her head and looked at her mother. She had never realized so clearly as she did at this moment that Mrs. Xian Guogong really didn't like her.

The two of them didn't have much similarity in their faces, but Niu Niu looked more and more like Mrs. Xian Guogong. Qin Jingshu couldn't help thinking, if Niu Niu returned to the mansion of Duke Xian Guogong, would Mrs. Xian Guogong treat Niu Niu well?

Qin Jingshu hadn't figured out how to talk about the exchange of life experiences and who to tell.

Mrs. Xian Guogong suddenly felt more and more displeased with her daughter. She frowned and looked at Qin Jingshu. The more she looked, the more she felt that her daughter's appearance was annoying.

"Why do you look so much like your aunt..."?

Before Mrs. Xian Guogong finished her words, she heard the doorman come to report.

"In reply to the masters, Lord Gu and his wife have come to pay their respects, and they are almost at the second gate."

The wife of Duke Xian glanced at Qin Jing.

Because the second wife's surname was Li, there were not many people in the capital who came to pay their respects, and many people even avoided them. The Gu family came at this moment, obviously for Qin Jing's sake.
