Qing Lingyi was surprised.
This person's identity must be extraordinary, otherwise the old lady would not describe him like this.
She stepped forward and sat down and asked, "Who is he?"
Mrs. Xue suppressed her smile and started from the beginning: "You should have heard about Xiao Anle and her biological mother."
Qing Lingyi had a bad premonition in her heart and frowned slightly: "I know this."
"Her name is Qingli, and she is a maid brought from her hometown in Jingzhou. In the past, there was no woman around the third master, and she was the only one. Sometimes he would take him with him when he went to fight. But one time, the third master returned in triumph with a child in his arms. It was said that she was born to Qingli, but Qingli didn't come back. The third master said that she felt embarrassed and ran away. He discussed with me, gave the child a name, and raised it in our family. This is Xiaoanle."
Qing Lingyi felt strange.
Feeling embarrassed, she abandoned her child and ran away. Can she still be considered a mother?
When Qing Lingyi was young, many people persuaded Qing Yan to let her give her daughter to someone else's family to raise, so as not to ruin her reputation and marry into a good family.
Qing Yan ignored her and said, if I didn't have the ability to raise this daughter, I wouldn't have given birth to her in the first place. As for saying it's hard for me to marry with a daughter, I would like to ask who is worthy of marrying me. ?
"This morning before dawn, she came to my house and came to me, saying that she hoped I could keep her."
Mrs. Xue has finished talking about the basic situation.
She turned to Qing Lingyi and said sternly: "Firstly, now I have left all the management of our family to you; secondly, you are the third master's wife and the mother of Xiao Anle. So, whether Qingli stays or not, It’s up to you to decide how to deal with it.”
Qing Lingyi thought: "Call Qingli over first, let me see you."
"That's right," Old Mrs. Xue turned to Nanny Qi, "Go and bring this person over."
"yes."
Not long after, Grandma Qi brought in a woman.
She is slender and frail in stature, timid in manner, with a delicate and fair face, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes filled with water.
"This is Qingli." Mrs. Xue said.
Qing Lingyi looked over and was distracted for a moment, thinking that Cheng Yang liked this kind of woman.
Qingli looked at her cautiously.
When their eyes met, Qingli immediately buried her head and said softly: "Qing, Qingli, give my regards to the general's wife."
Qing Lingyi said indifferently: "Let me ask you, what are your plans when you come to the General's Mansion?"
Qingli did not speak, but knelt on the ground first: "Qingli wants to stay in the general's mansion."
Qing Lingyi hummed: "This is impossible."
Qingli was startled, raised her face, and opened her eyes wide: "I, I am Anle's mother!"
Qing Lingyi frowned.
If you give birth to a child but don’t support it, and run away to care for yourself, is this worthy of being called a mother?
She was sarcastic in her heart, but her tone was slightly cold on the surface: "Tell me what conditions are required to leave the General's Mansion and never come back."
Qingli bit her red lips, tears kept accumulating in her eyes: "Madam, you think Qingli came here with a request?"
Qing Lingyi had a tough attitude: "Whether it is true or not, I will not keep you in the general's mansion."
Qingli turned to Mrs. Xue: "Does the old lady think so too?"
Mrs. Xue said indifferently: "I told you everything, housekeeper Lingyi."
Qingli was desperate, tears finally rolled down uncontrollably.
Qing Lingyi looked at her and remembered her special constitution of crying when she was excited. She couldn't help but wonder, would she be like this when she cried?
That's quite hypocritical.
Cheng Yang had seen her shed tears before. Could it be that he regarded her as Qingli and that's why he treated her like that?
Suddenly, there was a "plop", and Qingli fell to the ground, her face pale and bloodless, with wet tears hanging on her face.
Qing Lingyi was shocked.
Are you dizzy now?
Mrs. Xue was very calm and said, "Come here! Carry her back to the guest room!"
Aunt Qi led several other nuns in and divided the work to lift Qingli out.
Qing Lingyi turned his head with a complicated expression: "Mother, I didn't expect..."
"It has nothing to do with you. Her thin arms and legs can be blown down by a gust of wind." The old lady sneered.
Qing Lingyi sighed with relief: "Then I'll ask Doctor Wu to take a look at her."
"Doctor Wu is unwell and cannot see a doctor these days," the old lady said. "Now the doctor in charge of the house is the doctor who accompanied the third master when he joined the army. His surname is Xin."
"What's wrong, Doctor Wu?" Qing Lingyi felt that a lot of things had happened in his house recently.
"I'm probably sick." The old lady replied casually.
Qing Lingyi nodded slightly.
Old Mrs. Xue looked sideways and called Zangsu: "Go and ask Doctor Xin to come."
"yes."
Dr. Xin is a little old man with gray hair on his temples. He is not young but energetic. There is wind under his feet when he walks.
He went to check Qingli's pulse. When he came back, he said bluntly: "She is pretending to be faint."
Mrs. Xue sneered: "I knew it! The same method as Zhao Wanrong back then!"
Qing Lingyi was a little confused.
"Lingyi, what will you do next?" asked Mrs. Xue.
Your Majesty's expression was at a loss.
"You might as well listen to my story first," the old lady said, "Before I got married, I swore that as long as I was a couple for the rest of my life, if my husband had another woman besides me, I would definitely get rid of this couple. And then quickly. But when I saw Zhao Wanrong and the old general lying together with my own eyes, I failed to kill him. Later, Zhao Wanrong knelt in front of me and begged, just like Qingli just now, pretending to be faint, and even threatened death. I finally Because she couldn't be cruel enough, she just became an aunt."
Qing Lingyi said softly: "Mother, you have a kind heart."
Mrs. Xue sneered: "What's the use of having a good heart? Originally, the old general and I were very close as husband and wife. After that time, until he died in battle, I never slept with him again. Whenever I touched him, , I feel sick. I always have a hard time with myself, and my temper is getting worse day by day. Before you got married, half of my body was already in the coffin!"
She stared at Qing Lingyi, "Being kind to others is cruel to yourself. I didn't understand this until my life was almost over. I'm going to teach you now. You must remember it."
Qing Lingyi nodded solemnly.
"You definitely can't tolerate sharing the same husband with another woman. You must think carefully about how to deal with Qingli."
The old lady reveals her own scars, and her words are well-intentioned, and Qing Lingyi understands.
She frowned tightly, and after thinking for a while, she made up her mind.
Arranged preparations with the old lady, and then went to the guest room.
"You all just wait outside."
After saying this, Qing ordered Yi to enter the room.
Qingli lay on her back on the bed, her eyes closed.
Qing Lingyi said coldly: "Stop pretending."
Qingli remained motionless.
"Or I'll throw water at you."
Qingli's eyelids rolled, she slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
She curled up and said pitifully: "Qingli has been weak since childhood. Madam, please forgive me."
Qing Lingyi was too lazy to argue with her and said: "You came to the General's Mansion either to make money or to seek status. I said I would give you silver and you refused, which means it is the latter. Do you want to Be the general's concubine. If the general had not married, you might still have a title, but I have already married you, and I will never allow this to happen. As long as I am here, you have to leave."
"Okay, it's all up to the madam's arrangement."
Qingli's voice was sweet and sweet, but her eyes overflowed with resentment.
When the cold light suddenly appeared, she pulled out the short knife from her sleeve and stabbed Qing Lingyi!
