Mrs. Ning was amused by her childlike words, she laughed and started to cry again. After two years of eagerly waiting, countless times of despair and struggle, she finally got the result that made her happy today.
Her daughter is still alive!
Live healthy and happy, like a sparkling little sun, warm and brilliant.
All the haze in her heart was dispelled by the warm sunshine, leaving only emotion and joy.
Ning squatted down, opened her arms to Meng Qixue with tears streaming down her face, and asked in tears: "Xue Bao, can you let me hug you?"
"Okay." Meng Qixue also opened her arms and jumped into her arms with her short legs.
Ning held the soft little dumpling in her arms tightly, crying and laughing. The bright sunshine passed through the wooden window lattice and hit her eyelashes. In the interlaced light spots of light and dark, she seemed to have returned to two years ago.
Xiao Huan, who had just learned to walk, staggered into her arms, and then giggled. The crisp, childish laughter flowed in her ears with the clear wind of early summer.
That was the most cherished and precious memory in her life.
Shen Qingqing smiled from the bottom of her heart when she looked at the warm scene in front of her. Mother and daughter reunited, their affection was unfailing. There should be nothing warmer than this in the world, right?
She turned around, took Meng Yuan's hand, and walked out of the room quietly.
When the maid Taozi saw this, she covered her mouth and walked out crying.
Seeing her crying sadly, Shen Qingqing kindly handed her a veil and said, "Good girl, stop crying now. Your eyes will turn into peaches from crying later."
"Wuwu, it doesn't matter if you cry like Tao'er, my name is Taozi anyway, Wuwu, I'm so happy..."
Shen Qingqing laughed, pulled her to the small table in the courtyard, and said as if coaxing a child: "Then let's sit down and cry slowly, don't worry."
About the time it took for a stick of incense to be poured, Ning took Meng Qixue and walked out of the wing. Their eyes were red, and they had obviously cried.
Ning patted Meng Qixue on the back and asked her to move aside. She knelt in front of Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan, "I know that you two are both generous and generous people who don't care about complicated etiquette, but I should thank you."
Thanks anyway."
"Thank you for taking Xuebao in, giving her a complete home, and saving her from the pain of wandering and poverty."
After saying that, she kowtowed in a dignified manner, stood up and took off the green jade pendant from her waist, "This jade pendant is a keepsake of the Qi family. With it, you can stay in the Qi family's restaurants and inns at will, and you can use the money from the Qi family's bank."
Withdraw as you wish.”
"Now I hand over the jade pendant to you as a thank you gift for taking care of Xuebao."
Shen Qingqing refused to accept it: "Mrs. Qi, there is no need to do this. Meng Yuan and I sincerely raise Xuebao as our daughter. It is only natural for parents to raise their own children. There is no word of thanks. So you should take the jade pendant back."
"Qingqing, are you afraid that if you collect the things, I will have a reason to take Xuebao away?" Ning shook her head, "No, I can't do such a thing."
She looked at the little girl standing under the tree with tears in her eyes, her eyes as gentle as water, "As a mother, I really want to keep my child by my side, but after experiencing so many twists and turns, I have long thought about it."
.”
"As long as she is alive and living happily, I will be satisfied. Everything else depends on her personal wishes."
As for Xiao Xuebao's wishes... she didn't dare to ask.
Although I didn’t ask, I already had the answer in my mind.
Xuebao was very kind to her, he would praise her, coax her, and defend her when she was wronged, but there was a limit to that kind of kindness, and it was completely different from the way he treated Shen Qingqing.
In front of Shen Qingqing, Xuebao's eyes were filled with admiration, trust, and full dependence.
But in front of her, those eyes were filled with pity and distress, as if she was comforting a sad friend or an injured kitten on the roadside.
It would be a lie to say that she is not sad, but at the same time, she feels very lucky that her daughter can still meet someone who treats her sincerely after leaving home.
Ning sniffed, suppressed the sadness in her heart, and without any explanation put the jade pendant into Shen Qingqing's hands, "Take it, it's a thank you gift from your mother who has found it again."
Shen Qingqing did not continue to refuse. It was just a token. It would probably not be needed under normal circumstances, so just wear it as a decoration.
After giving away the jade pendant, Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shen Qingqing: "I don't know if you have time tomorrow. If so, I want to take Xingtang to Yanghua Village to see Xuebao. Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Xuebao yet.
Woolen cloth."
"I've seen it!" Meng Qixue said quickly: "He was the one who asked those people to arrest me. I remember it clearly! He is a bit old, so I always call him grandpa."
No wonder she cried to death miserably at that time, and that person wouldn't let her go. It turned out that he called her by the wrong name.
It seems that calling someone based on their face is not very reliable. If possible, you might as well ask about their age first.
The maid Taozi pinched the handkerchief and burst into laughter, "Master will be very sad if he hears this."
What a treat to be called grandpa by your own daughter.
"He deserves to be sad!" Thinking of what happened before, Ning was so angry that she wanted to rush home and beat her husband.
A certain person feels that he is extremely smart all day long, but in the end he is deceived and almost kills his own daughter. Is this something that a person with a brain can do?
Shen Qingqing was also snickering beside her. After laughing, she gave Meng Qixue an angry look and said, "Don't mention these things in the future. Let's leave the past behind."
Meng Qixue puffed up her cheeks and nodded obediently: "Okay, I won't talk about it anymore."
Shen Qingqing rubbed her head and looked at Ning with a smile, "We have time tomorrow, come if you want."
"Okay, let's see you tomorrow. I'll go back and tell Xingtang first. If he knows that Xuebao is his daughter, he will definitely be happy to death."
Meng Qixue put Mrs. Ning on the carriage with a smile, then turned around and asked Shen Qingqing: "Mom, should I buy a gift for Aunt Qi? I remember you bought it for grandma at that time."
"If you want to buy something, buy it. Take your personal money and let's go pick out a gift. And buy some food by the way. Maybe your parents will stay at our house for dinner tomorrow."
Shen Qingqing was inexplicably nervous, just like her mother-in-law who was about to meet her in-laws, fearing that she would do something wrong and embarrass her daughter.
On the way, she secretly told Meng Yuan what she was thinking, and after saying it, she laughed first, "Do you think I was really infected by Yuan Xudong? My imagination is going to the sky."
"Can I say that I am also very nervous?" Meng Yuan murmured in her ear: "I also had a dream. I dreamed that Qi Xingtang was robbing me of Xuebao. We even fought and Xuebao was crying next to me.
She was shouting, 'Dad, please stop fighting, stop fighting', and I cried so sadly."
In order to imitate more closely, he deliberately changed the tone of the last sentence, making Shen Qingqing laugh out loud, and the tension that had just arisen in his heart disappeared instantly.
"To be honest, I really want to see that scene. It should be very exciting, hahaha..." This chapter has been completed!
