Marrying into a poor family

In the Qin family in the capital, Mrs. Qin Si is also called the old lady.

In the past, Mrs. Qin Si was very majestic in Dancheng. Now that she doesn't care about the house, she has aged very quickly. In this short period of time, she seems to have aged several years.

When she first came here, she was very low-key because she was still a little scared about her own affairs. And because of her daughter-in-law's natal family, she was very courteous and tolerant to Mrs. Liu. For a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at peace with each other.

But as time passed, Mrs. Qin Si couldn't control her temper.

But now she has no concubine, concubine, or aunt to torture, and she doesn't want to lose her temper with her son and daughter Qin Yao. Her grandchildren are her treasures, so she can't help but target the Liu family.

Of course, the most important problem is that Mrs. Liu dared to be friends with Qin Xiang, and even encouraged Qin Yaozu to be friends with Qin Xiang. This was a slap in her face.

She had looked for her son, cried, scolded, and even beaten him, but his son remained silent and went his own way.

No, today I accidentally heard that Mrs. Liu went to Qin Xiang's house again, and Mrs. Qin Si's temper got worse.

Several people were sent to the gate to inquire, but they all said that Mrs. Liu had not returned yet.

Mrs. Qin Si was sitting in the room with the windows closed, and the light in the room was not very good. Mrs. Liu felt uncomfortable when she came in.

"Mother, what do you want from your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Liu still followed the rules and bowed first, then asked with a smile.

The next moment, Mrs. Qin Si placed the tea cup heavily on the table. Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she trembled and quickly looked at Mrs. Qin Si's face carefully.

Mrs. Qinsi snorted coldly: "You know that I hate that little bitch Qin Xiang, but you actually come to her door again and again to befriend and chat with her. Have you ever taken my mother-in-law seriously?"

Madam Liu was feeling upset, wasn't she just wiping away the good things her father-in-law and mother-in-law had done before?

But she didn't dare to talk back, but she was in a very bad mood.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Qin Si thought she was guilty, so she scolded her again: "You are like this every time. You seem to be obedient, but in fact you don't listen to me at all. Instead, you make my son think that I am the one." That arrogant and domineering person. You are so scheming!"

Mrs. Liu saw that her words were getting more and more outrageous, and she was getting involved in scheming, so she had to defend herself: "Mother, my daughter-in-law went to Qin Xi's sister's house to discuss important matters."

"What's the important matter? You should tell me so that I, an old woman, can listen."

Mrs. Liu didn't know what to say and didn't dare to mention Qin Yan's matter.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Liu said: "Mother, when the matter becomes clearer, I will definitely inform you of the details, but the time has not yet come."

Afterwards, Ms. Liu stood up and said goodbye: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has gone back to change her clothes and needs to deal with some things, so she will leave first."

Without waiting for Mrs. Qin Si to say anything, she left. Mrs. Qin Si was so angry that she smashed a tea cup on the ground and it immediately broke into pieces.

Mrs. Qin Si's temper has become increasingly violent recently, and those who serve her are afraid to let out her anger.

Those who could hide were all made excuses to avoid, but the personal maids and mothers-in-law around them could not avoid it. They could only become the people for Mrs. Qin Si to vent her anger.

Outside the house, three maids and two women were pushing and shoving silently. Finally Aju was pushed out and went in with a teacup to serve the fourth wife.

"Is this tea for people? How dare you look down on me and give me cold tea?"

Aju knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Old lady, please spare me this time. I will go and make another pot of tea."

The next moment, the tea cup hit her forehead, and the still hot tea dripped down her cheek with blood, looking so miserable.

But Aju didn't dare to cry, let alone wipe it.

People outside heard it and knew that the fourth wife was angry, so they opened the curtain and came in. Naturally, the mother-in-law comforted Mrs. Qin Si and helped her to the back room, where she accompanied her and said some bad things about Mrs. Liu.

The two maids quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, but only one maid helped the kneeling Aju and took her back to the house to apply medicine.

Ah Ju is not a child born in the family, but a little maid who came to the capital.

She also worked hard to become the fourth wife's personal maid. Although she was a second-class maid, she was envied by many sisters.

But things were not as good as she thought. Mrs. Qinsi seemed fine on a normal basis, but in private she was very scary.

And Aju finally understood why the maids and mothers-in-law who were personally serving the fourth wife helped her become second-class maids. It was probably because she was honest and had no foundation in the Qin family.

The person who gave Ah Ju the medicine was named Xiaoxiang. She came from Dancheng and was not born in the same family. However, she joined the Qin family at the age of eight. She was cautious enough to become a maid now, and she was naturally smart.

"You should hide a little bit next time, or kneel farther away, so..."

"Xiaoxiang, how can I hide? Our lives are just dust in people's eyes!"

Xiaoxiang was her only friend, but she could only sympathize with Aju. After all, if Aju didn't become the punching bag, then it would be her Xiaoxiang.

"How about we escape?" Xiaoxiang said suddenly.

Aju trembled all over and quickly covered Xiaoxiang's mouth with her hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? Give up such thoughts quickly."

Xiaoxiang put her arm around Aju's shoulders, and the two comforted each other silently for a while.

"There is another way to try!" Xiaoxiang said again, but this time her voice was softer and more solemn!

Aju raised her head and covered her forehead, which was wrapped with a cloth bandage, with her hand. The pain seemed to be less obvious. In fact, it was just a scratch, not very important.

"The old lady wants to choose someone from among us to be my housekeeper. I, I'm willing to give it a try. What about you? Do you have any thoughts on leaving here? Anyway, I would rather serve my wife than stay here anymore!"

Aju was still a little dizzy and couldn't react for a moment, so she asked blankly: "Who is in the room?"

"Did you really get hit in the head? Who are you talking about in the room?"

After saying that, Xiaoxiang blinked her eyes, her meaning was very obvious.

Xiaoxiang reacted and immediately blushed. After thinking carefully, she said: "Xiaoxiang, I'll help you, but I don't have extravagant expectations. With my appearance and popularity in this courtyard, it's all in vain. It's better to do it from the beginning." Do your duty as a maid honestly."

A smile flashed in Xiaoxiang's eyes, and then she promised: "If I become an aunt, I will take you to take care of me. I will definitely treat you like a biological sister. I promise that we will be blessed together in the future. Enjoy!"

Aju was so moved that she hugged Xiaoxiang's waist, leaned her cheek against Xiaoxiang's chest, and said softly: "Yeah, Xiaoxiang, don't worry, I will help you!"

That night, Qin Yaozu went home and Mrs. Liu went in to help him change clothes.

"Sister Qin Xiang called me over today and talked for a while. When I came back, my mother called me. I was stupid and I probably made my mother unhappy. You can go and say hello to your mother later, and remember to give me a round of greetings. Don’t let mother be angry again!”

Qin Yaozu frowned slightly: "My mother has suffered repeated blows and is in a bad mood. You should be more patient and take care of her when you are free. When you are free, take your children to accompany her. As time goes by, she will naturally know your virtuousness!"

"What your husband is saying is that I, as a daughter-in-law, have not done enough. I will be more careful in the future." Mrs. Liu suppressed the secret hatred in her heart and agreed with a gentle smile.

Qin Yaozu touched his wife's cheek with his hand, which was a silent comfort and apology!
