"It's fine to meet, there's nothing to it. Who knows if Madam Qin can actually persuade Qi Mingzhu.
Soon, mother and daughter met.
"Mother, why did he ask you to come out?" Qi Mingzhu asked, somewhat surprised.
Looking at the daughter she had always cherished, Madam Qin felt a surge of sadness, her eyes reddening. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Why must you do this?" Madam Qin choked out, "You deserve so much better."
Qi Mingzhu shook her head bitterly, "Mother, ever since Lu Chen broke off the engagement, I haven't been well. Or rather, ever since the Yun family, mother and sons, returned, I haven't been well, we haven't been well."
Madam Qin was also filled with regret. Why hadn't she handled things cleanly back then? If not for the Yun family, mother and sons, she would undoubtedly still be the esteemed wife of the Marquis's mansion, and her daughter would still be the beloved eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion. As it turned out, one wrong step led to many, and they, mother and daughter, had fallen to such a plight.
"Your father said that if you are willing to give up the child, he can find you a husband in a faraway place as a principal wife after some time," Madam Qin said, wiping away a tear, her heart aching.
"A faraway place, it must be some small, insignificant family. Would you be content with such a family, Mother? Besides, we wouldn't have ended up so miserable if our maternal grandparents had supported us. But what about them? They always claimed to love you the most, to dote on me the most, but what happened? Mother, do you know? Not long ago, I exhausted all my efforts to seek their help, and they wouldn't even grant me an audience, only sending me away with some silver, jewelry, and cloth." Qi Mingzhu's teeth were almost ground to dust, "They want to sever ties with me and you, then I will not let them have their way."
Seeing Qi Mingzhu like this, Madam Qin knew she had made up her mind.
"You must know that being a concubine is not so easy."
"If my maternal grandparents still hold even a sliver of affection, my life won't be too difficult," Qi Mingzhu said indifferently.
Madam Qin could not be sure if her husband and his parents would treat their daughter well.
But her sister-in-law would certainly not welcome her daughter.
Her son had married the daughter of a Grand Scholar, and with the Grand Scholar's guidance, his future was bright.
Under such circumstances, how could the Lu family tolerate her daughter entering the family with a child, especially when their own daughter was not pregnant?
Moreover, Mingzhu was not a girl from a humble background who could be easily manipulated.
Therefore, the sister-in-law's anger at losing face in front of the Lu family would inevitably be vented on her daughter.
Thinking of her daughter's future, Madam Qin couldn't help but embrace her and weep.
After crying, Madam Qin wiped away her tears, "Don't worry, Mother will do her best to fight for you."
Even if she were to be a concubine, her daughter had to be a favored concubine.
When Qi Tianming and Madam Qin arrived at the Prince of Qin's mansion, the masters of the mansion were greatly surprised. After all, they knew about Madam Qin's predicament and had accepted the outcome that she would be confined forever. Now that they had come together, had Qi Tianming changed his mind?
With this doubt, Prince of Qin and Princess of Qin, with smiles on their faces, asked people to invite them to the courtyard where they lived.
It would be too formal to meet in the flower hall when the family was gathering.
To show their importance, they even specially sent someone to invite the Prince's heir, who had already gone to his duties.
Of course, the Prince's heir's wife was also present.
Qi Tianming scanned the room. Good, the main characters were all present. Oh, wait, Qin Xuan was still missing.
"Prince, Princess, why don't I see Xuan'er? I haven't seen him in a long time and miss him dearly," Qi Tianming said.
Not calling them father-in-law and mother-in-law made the Princess of Qin somewhat annoyed. Thinking that he was still angry at the mansion, she decided not to argue with him and thus instructed the servants to invite Qin Xuan over."
