Mrs. Qin lowered her eyes. "I know, I know Xian Guiying is innocent. It's because your grandmother's heart and body are getting worse day by day that I'm really afraid she's going to be affected."
Qin Gengxin pondered for a moment. "I'll figure out a way to deal with this."
"What method can you think of? This knot can't be untied from your grandmother's heart for the rest of her life! What can you do about it?" Mrs. Qin looked at him.
"There must be a reason behind all this. I will find the source and think of a way to solve it."
"Solve it?" Mrs. Qin scoffed, "How will you solve it? What will you use to solve it?"
Before Qin Gengxin could say anything, the door of the ward next to him opened. Wei Zhengsheng walked out and looked directly at them. Qin Gengxin gave him a bland look before walking over.
Wei Zhengsheng looked at him, "Did Mrs. Zhang pick up Qianqian this morning?"
Instead of answering his question, Qin Gengxin's eyes wandered inside the ward and looked at Xian Guiying, who was leaning against the bed. She looked up and their eyes met each other. She looked at him for a moment before slowly turning away and closing her eyes.
Qin Gengxin looked over his shoulder at his mother before saying to Wei Zhengsheng, "Let's talk."
Wei Zhengsheng looked at Mrs. Qin. Qin Gengxin knew what he was worried about, so he said, "My mother couldn't hold her temper yesterday, that's why she lost her control, but now that she's calm, she won't do anything to Guiying again."
Of course, Qin Gengxin would not let anyone else hurt Xian Guiying. Wei Zhengsheng was pretty sure about this.
Qin Gengxin walked towards the elevator and Wei Zhengsheng followed him from behind.
Xian Guiying was resting on the bed when she heard the ward door open. She opened her eyes and saw Mrs. Qin walking in. She slowly sat up.
Mrs. Qin walked to the edge of the bed and looked at her for a long time. They did not speak until the doctor came in and saw Mrs. Qin. The doctor asked who she was and Mrs. Qin said, "I'm her mother-in-law."
The doctor reapplied the medicine on Xian Guiying's head and left. Mrs. Qin sat in a chair and looked at her.
Xian Guiying was not traumatized by her presence. Although there was still some form of courtesy between the elders and juniors, it was better to avoid the formalities between the daughter-in-law and the seniors. Thus, she didn't open her mouth to chase her away.
Because silence was the best method to drive her away.
After the doctor and nurse left, Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, "I heard that you and Gengxin had known each other for a long time before you got married."
Seeing Mrs. Qin spoke calmly, Xian Guiying looked at her in a slightly different way. Logically, didn't Mrs. Qin always dislikes her. Now that she had a chance, shouldn't she use all the available means to mock her?
Seeing Mrs. Qin's calm expression, Xian Guiying looked at her before answering, "Yes."
"How long did you know each other?" Mrs. Qin asked.
"Ten years."
"Ten years? Was it Gengxin who liked you first? No, that doesn't matter anymore. It's already this far, Xian Guiying. Before you get divorced, we should have a good discussion with each other. Was it really my son who forced you to get pregnant?"
Xian Guiying didn't expect that Qin Gengxin would take the blame for her pregnancy. She was stunned for a moment before looking at Mrs. Qin. She had no way to explain the real reason behind her pregnancy.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Qin laughed coldly, "I know for sure there is something suspicious here. Xian Guiying, my son has taken care of everything for years, do you know how well he protects you? While he's busy protecting you, you're not shy to hang out with other men? Is this what a daughter of the Xian Family is like? How did Xian Tingfeng teach his granddaughter?!"
"Mrs. Qin, there is no need to involve the elders in Qin Gengxin and my problems." Xian Guiying looked at Mrs. Qin coldly, "Besides, my grandfather is your elder. Is this how your mother educated you?"
"You …" Mrs. Qin looked at her, speechless. "You usually don't talk much in front of us, but I don't think you're so eloquent. I really underestimate you."
Xian Guiying smiled indifferently, "If you weren't my mother-in-law, I would definitely have fought back when you hit me yesterday. You're right, not only am I eloquent, I'm also not someone to be trifled with."
"Hehe, are you threatening me?" Mrs. Qin scoffed.
"Not a threat." Xian Guiying raised her hand to rub the wound on her forehead and said softly. "After all, I respect you as my mother-in-law. After all, this marriage isn't over yet, so I know what I should do. Don't think too much about it."
Mrs. Qin held her breath and was speechless. That wasn't because she was shocked by Xian Guiying's words, but because she didn't expect this girl to be rude to her.
Mrs. Qin thought for a moment and calmed down. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Xian Tingfeng's granddaughter, hehe …"
Seeing Mrs. Qin's face, she immediately asked, "Did my grandfather ever offend the Qin Family?"
Mrs. Qin did not think Xian Guiying would ask for this directly and so suddenly. She couldn't hold her gaze.
Xian Guiying saw the astonishment in Mrs. Qin's eyes and apparently, the doubt in her heart was correct. Apparently, this had something to do with her grandfather.
"Offended?" Mrs. Qin scoffed, "Our Qin Family will be good enough if we don't offend that high and mighty grandfather of yours. How dare we offend Old General Xian."
Xian Guiying suddenly thought of something and searched for a picture of Cui Luixian on her phone. She then handed the phone to Mrs. Qin. "Is there a woman who looked like her when she was young?"
Mrs. Qin looked at the young woman in the photo and was immediately stunned. Xian Guiying could already guess a little from her expression.
There appeared to be a reason why his grandfather adored Cui Luixian so much.
"Where did you get this from?" Mrs. Qin asked.
Xian Guiying kept the phone. "The woman in the photo is the granddaughter of my grandfather, who was adopted more than 23 years ago. Her name is Cui Luixian and I heard her grandfather sacrificed himself to save my grandfather on the battlefield. My grandfather always said that he adopted Cui Luixian to repay the debt."
Xian Guiying looked into Mrs. Qin's eyes. "There must be another reason, right?"
She remembered that Old Man Xian went to see Cui Luixian and took her back. Cui Luixian had been very good-looking since she was little, and she looked like the woman in the old photos Xian Guiying once saw in the attic.
She did not know what the connection was, but there must be a story behind it.
"Adopted?" Mrs. Qin's eyes were cold. "I don't know the woman in this photo, but I've heard that your grandfather once adopted a grandchild. So this is her."
Xian Guiying smiled and deliberately added, "Grandpa loved her very much, more than his own granddaughter."
