Because there was no shortage of guards around Yuan Baoshu, these fake members of the White Lotus Sect did not successfully kidnap Yuan Baoshu - or in other words, their purpose was just to pretend to kidnap him.
Yuan Baoshu originally wanted to catch all these people and take them to the government without landing, but she couldn't stand the fact that this was a busy street, and they were blocked by the flow of people, so they escaped.
When Yuan Baoshu came back, she was a little annoyed and said, "I let them escape."
Su Yueling smiled instead, "I specifically ordered your guards to release the water. I still keep them useful."
Hearing this, Yuan Baoshu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't hold back her sister-in-law.
"You can send her an invitation and invite her over."
Yuan Baoshu nodded and didn't ask any other unnecessary questions.
Su Yueling glanced at her, "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do next?"
Yuan Baoshu said: "If you know too much, you will worry that clues will be revealed accidentally."
That's enough for now. Anyway, my sister-in-law will definitely tell her after this matter is settled.
On the other side, Qu Lin, who received the invitation, couldn't help but smile confidently that she had everything under control.
Things went more smoothly than she imagined, and she gained Yuan Baoshu's initial trust as she wished.
Next is Su Yueling.
In the following period, Qu Lin became a frequent visitor to the Yuan family.
Before the investigation results come out, Su Yueling will also meet Qu Lin if she has nothing to do.
During these limited meetings, Qu Lin, whose pseudonym was Dong Lin, also mentioned her past to Su Yueling.
According to her, she was not the biological daughter of the Dong family. The Dong family only adopted her because they wanted a girl with a prosperous horoscope.
"Although they treat me well just because of my destiny, I am still very grateful to them. It is the Dong family who gave me a new life."
While Qu Lin was speaking, the corner of her eye fell on Su Yueling - to her disappointment, the rumored pity for the weak Princess Wei turned out to be careless and indifferent.
Yuan Baoshu was very cooperative, "Do your parents also agree?"
Qu Lin let herself show a somewhat sad expression, "My father happily sold me for a good price, and my mother couldn't stop him. Maybe she didn't want to stop it, because she hated me in her heart, hated that I was not a man, hated that
My birth caused her to lose my father's love."
Yuan Baoshu's eyes widened slightly, "Do your parents favor sons over daughters?"
She didn't know if the stories Dong Sanniang told were fabricated to make her feel soft, but it didn't stop her from becoming interested in them.
Su Yueling also put down the cup in her hand and listened to Qu Lin's story about the past.
Qu Lin said: "According to my mother, before I was born, my father and mother had a very good relationship. My father did not hesitate to disobey my grandmother in order to marry my mother. But my mother has not given birth to my father.
Heirs passed down the family line, and my father began to take concubines for the sake of his heirs, forgetting the promise he had made to my mother never to take concubines."
"One of the aunts successfully gave birth to my brother-in-law, but my father's heart began to go astray, and he even allowed his aunt to bully my mother. He used to kneel in the temple for three days and three nights for my mother."
When she said this, her long eyelashes were stained with tears, and the sadness on her face almost turned into reality, "He obviously loved my mother so much, why did he change his mind so quickly?"
This performance with excellent singing and composition made Su Yueling very excited to eat melon seeds.
Continue to watch her performance quietly.
"My mother took a lot of secret medicine, prayed to gods everywhere, and finally got pregnant successfully. At that time, the doctors said that my mother would give birth to a boy. My father was very happy and began to treat my mother tenderly and lovingly again. It seemed that the two of them had returned to each other again.
To the deep affection of the past."
Yuan Baoshu sighed, "Then you were born, right?"
The sadness on Qu Lin's face became even more intense, "After I was born, my father never entered my mother's yard except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. He, my aunt and my brother, the three of them are like a real family."
"Because of my father, I can't believe men's promises. For them, children are always the most important thing."
Yuan Baoshu didn't know what to say. Although Qu Lin's story was most likely made up, similar stories are not uncommon. This itself is the current view - men are naturally superior to women. The only thing she can do is,
It means opening more textile factories so that some women can have the ability to leave their homes and earn their own living.
She suddenly lost interest and quickly found an excuse to leave. She didn't want to continue listening to Qu Lin's story, even though she knew very well that her behavior was actually an escape.
Yuan Baoshu's departure was exactly what Qu Lin wanted. After she left, she looked at Su Yueling and continued: "Later, my aunt told me that when my mother was pregnant, they did a second job for my mother.
They prepared pregnant women of about the same age as my mother and used money to buy their children who were about to be born."
"My maternal grandparents thought that if my mother's baby was not a boy, then they would replace me with a baby boy. But my mother refused. She wanted to trust my father again."
"She lost the bet this time. I know she regretted not replacing me when I was born."
After Qu Lin spoke, her voice became more choked up.
Su Yueling suddenly realized that this person was also the captain of the birth team. Was he trying to encourage her to have a second child, and then engage in a trick of stealing a baby from a dragon to a baby?
She said: "I don't think daughters are worse than sons. I am satisfied with You Ning. Suijun and I have the same idea."
Qu Lin blurted out, "My father used to think so too."
Su Yueling was a little impatient, "So? Your father is your father. Don't compare people like your father with Suijun. That is an insult to Suijun."
Listening to these words, Qu Lin felt that Su Yueling was extremely naive. It was ridiculous that she would believe a man's sweet words.
Such Su Yueling made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She suppressed the strong emotion and showed a broken and melancholy expression like morning dew, "You are very similar to my mother. You both treat feelings the same way."
