Chapter 331
“Eldest girl, how are you doing now?” Zhao Aman asked with an expectant face, her voice slightly trembling.
These days of fleeing and hiding as fugitives outside were not easy, and now she could only count on her daughter.
Upon hearing the words, Qin Xin’s eyes once again covered in a mist of tears as she bit her lips with her white teeth, Zhao Aman seeing this felt her heart hurt, and was feeling uncomfortable.
Zhao Aman cautiously asked, “Eldest girl, did the third child really come back?”
Originally, when she saw that the eldest was still living in the Marquis’s Mansion, she felt fortunate, thinking that the third child was just a fourteen-year-old girl, and seeing how chaotic the outside was, she might have been kidnapped or died on the road.
The tears that Qin Xin managed to restrain with difficulty suddenly flowed down like pearls that had broken thread, choking she said, “She, she did not only come back but she also destroyed everything I’ve been working hard on…”
What?! Zhao Amman and Li Jinzhu face each other.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Aman said anxiously, “Don’t cry, eldest girl, quickly tell mother, what did that stupid girl do?”
Qin Xin said with a tearful tone, “I was originally appointed as the Second Prince’s Consort by the imperial decree, and the Empress Dowager also likes me, treating me like a real granddaughter and always inviting me into the palace to talk with her…”
At that time, she was still the most dazzling pearl in the capital, and all the noble ladies respected her.
At that time, her opportunity was boundless, and her honor seemed to be still in front of her eyes as if it was within reach…
But now!
Everything was gone.
Everything in the past has passed away like flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake.
Except for Yingluo, those noble ladies’ disdain being with her, they all laughed at her for being a lowly concubine.
Qin Xin tightly clenched her fist and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth and said, “But now, I have nothing… nothing.” And all of this was caused by Qin Jiu!
Zhao Aman was stunned and stammered, “…… you, what did you say, you’re going to be the second prince’s imperial consort?”
Her breath almost didn’t come back.
Prince! That’s the son of the emperor, and the empress dowager… These nobles were not something that ordinary people like them could even see, and she wouldn’t even dare to think about it but her daughter almost became the second prince’s consort?
That’s just a step up to the sky, her daughter may become a consort or even an empress in the future!
“So, what about now?” She asked with a trembling voice.
Qin Xin’s voice became cold as she repeated expressionlessly, “There’s nothing.”
The Empress Dowager was extremely disgusted with her now, and although the Second Prince still likes her, his love was like she was some pet, and refuses to fight for her.
“How can it be? How could this… happen…” Zhao Aman said incoherently.
Qin Xin did not even want to mention these humiliating things at all and just said to them directly. “Mother, I told you guys long ago not to keep this stupid girl! Why didn’t you guys listen?!”
If Qin Jiu hadn’t returned, how would she have ended up in this situation? She would have still been the future imperial consort and a noble daughter in the capital!
When Zhao Aman heard this, her heart ached even more, she regretted and complained. “I, I also did not expect it ah!”
The thought of her daughter almost becoming the imperial consort, and her almost becoming the imperial consort’s mother, but now everything has gone down the drain, Zhao Aman’s heart aches as if there was an invisible knife stabbing her in the heart.
She sobbed and patted her thighs, gnashing her teeth and scolding, “I have worked hard to raise her, pooping and urinating. If it weren’t for me, she would have died fourteen years ago!”
“The lowly, stupid girl, is so heartless, coming here to harm you.”
She should have strangled her early on!
Zhao Aman felt so regretful that her intestines turned green.
Just a few months after her daughter entered the marquis, she brought a letter asking them to destroy that stupid girl’s birthmark.
At that time, she felt that her daughter was really attentive, realizing that indeed that little girl’s birthmark was a hidden danger, and it was risky to keep it. Therefore, she burned that little girl’s birthmark with charcoal, thinking that no one would know the truth again.
Later, her daughter wrote again, urging the couple that they had better not leave a scourge behind.
Their daughter spoke vaguely in the letter, but Zhao Amman understood what her daughter meant. If her daughter wanted her to kill that little girl to prevent future harm, it would be murder. It’s not like burning it just like birthmarks, so Zhao Aman still didn’t dare to take action in the end.
She was hoping that the little girl would fall ill and die, since there were several times when the little girl had a high fever for several days and was so sick that she almost died, yet managed to survive.
And because she was still alive, Zhao Aman had no choice but to continue to raise her, not thinking that after raising this stupid girl she would bite them back!
The more Zhao Aman thought about it, the angrier and resentful she became. She said in a sharp voice. “I just raised a white-eyed wolf!”
“Heaven is really blind, why doesn’t she just die, she’s really a disaster that lasts forever!”
Zhao Amman was both angry and resentful, thinking that not only did that little girl not think of their kindness in bringing her up, but she instead harmed their family like this. Moreover, it wasn’t enough to harm them, she also harmed her daughter!
“What’s the use of saying this now?” Qin Xin’s head was throbbing from Zhao Amman’s sharp voice. After these years of living a pampered life in the capital, she had never heard anyone talk in a shrill voice like this.
Qin Xin interrupted Zhao Aman and asked, “Father, Mother, I heard that little girl say that you two killed someone? What is this all about?”
