The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

“Little Gui, did you already know this?”

Qin Gui nodded to Empress Wei’s question.

She dropped her eyes half and muttered, “Since childhood, they beat and scolded me as they wished. I did all the work but they never looked happy.”

“They even sold me to a fool of the Xu family in order to provide Li Jiabao a seat at the county school. When I said I didn’t want to, they beat me and said that I deserved to die. Then, they wrapped me in a thin sheet and threw me away.”

“That day, after Zhao Aman beat me up and went out, I overheard Li Jinzhu say that I was still Miss Qin. If I really died and in case someone in the Qin family came for me in the future, they couldn’t afford it.”

“I just know that I am not their child, my surname is Qin.”

“Qin Gui is the name I gave to myself.”

Qin Gui said part truth and part lies. At that time, she didn’t want to go back to Marquis’s house when she ran away. She simply used her real name Qin Gui, which wasn’t hidden from her. Therefore, she had used the loophole to use her real name under the guise of hearing.

Empress Wei grew increasingly annoyed the more she listened to Qin Gui. She couldn’t help but smack the desk hard.

“Damn it!”

Her heart ached so much as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand.

How can there be such hateful people in this world? Their daughter grew up lavishly in the Marquis’s mansion, but they treated other people’s daughters so badly. They made her work like a horse, bullied and humiliated her at will.

Had this kid had not used her wits to run away, she would have been married to a fool. Wouldn’t her life and marriage be ruined by them?

Thinking of this, Empress Wei could not help but want to tore Li Family into pieces.

But unfortunately, the couple killed someone and left their hometown.

Empress Wei endured the pain in her heart and barely managed to maintain the smile on her face. She then gently caressed Qin Gui’s hair.

A kid of her age should have silky hair but they are rough and dry. This kid has led a pitiful life!

“Mrs. Gu.”

Qin Gui’s soft and coy voice interrupted Empress Wei’s chain of thoughts. She raised her palm-sized little face and stared with those pure and black apricot eyes as she asked with difficulty, “You said that you are my aunt. Who are my parents? Why… why don’t my mother and father didn’t want me?”

Empress Wei heaved a sigh and replied, “You are the legitimate eldest daughter of Zhongyi Marquis’ Qin Family, and also the legitimate second daughter of the Qin Family.”

[TLN: 嫡女, eldest daughter or the eldest daughter of legal wife.

嫡次女, second daughter or much like second in succession or rank.]

She took Qin Gui’s cold and little hands and told her about her past one by one. But she covered up all kinds of things that were almost abolished when the emperor was the crown prince. She simply concluded that the Qin family was exiled because of being framed by others, so they had no choice but to entrust their newborn child to others.

“… After the Qin Family’s reputation was restored, we sent someone to pick you up, but we didn’t expect that they had replaced you with their own daughter.”

“So it’s like this…” Realization suddenly dawned upon Qin Gui.

After a while, she asked again, “Mrs. Gu, who else is in my family? Would my parents like me?”

Qin Gui looked a little uneasy. Empress Wei patted her hand as she smiled and comforted her, “Your parents are no longer alive. You still have an elder brother and a younger brother. Your elder brother is Qin Zening, and your younger brother is Qin Zeyu. As for the rest of the Qin Family… “
