The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 140 Qin Family Secrets
Qin Ruo spoke up, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. Only then did Old Lady Qin adjust her mood and continue speaking.
"Your mother is not an orphan, but a person from the capital."
When Old Lady Qin said this, she stopped to watch the reactions of the siblings.
The brothers Qin Zimu and Qin Ziyan both had traces of shock on their faces and were waiting impatiently for what Old Lady Qin had to say. Only Qin Ruo looked normal, as if nothing had happened.
"When Erlang was just one year old, a man who claimed to be your mother's elder brother suddenly came to our Qin family in the dark one night with a dozen guards and wanted to take your mother away by force. Your father and I were naturally unwilling to do so, but they were so numerous and powerful that we could not stop them at all."
"Your mother didn't want to leave at first. She couldn't bear to leave you three siblings. The man from the capital saw this and threatened your mother with the lives of the Qin family. Your mother stopped him by threatening to die. In the end, she had no choice but to agree to go with that man. Only then did our Qin family escape. Your mother didn't even have a chance to talk to us before she left. She didn't say anything."
Qin Ziyan's breathing became heavier. He never expected that his mother was not dead at all and had such a bizarre life experience.
He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to speak out for fear of disturbing Old Lady Qin.
Even Qin Tiaotiao sat up straight and became a spectator.
Banxia, Xundong, and Song Shiqi remained silent the entire time, sitting silently by the side.
When Qin Zimu heard this, his tense body finally relaxed completely.
The huge rock that had been weighing on his heart was suddenly removed. He could finally confirm that he was not the nemesis that others said he was.
Qin Zimu covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down from between his fingers.
After so many years of grievances, I was finally released at this moment.
Qin Ruo held Qin Zimu's cold hand and patted it twice to comfort him.
When Old Lady Qin saw Qin Zimu crying, she couldn't help but shed tears too. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and continued:
"This matter is not over yet. After that person took your mother away that day, he came back again. He controlled you three siblings and threatened your father to release the news that your mother had died of an acute illness. It was not until they witnessed your mother's empty coffin being buried in secret that they sent you back."
"Before he left, the man warned us that your mother was born into a noble family and had the misfortune to end up here. We country folks can't marry her. He told us not to look for your mother again. This time he showed us mercy for your mother's sake. He said that from now on, there will be no more Shen family in the world."
When Old Lady Qin thought about what happened back then, she still felt a little scared.
At that time, his son Qin Huaizheng had no choice but to hold a fake funeral for Shen.
After Shen left, Qin Huaizheng did not give up. He saved money and secretly went to the capital. Three months later, he returned home with injuries all over his body, but he did not say a word about what happened in the capital.
Old Mrs. Qin didn't dare to ask at that time. She was really afraid that there would be trouble in the Qin family again.
Since then, Qin Huaizheng never mentioned anything about the mother of his children.
He just worked harder to earn money and sent his two sons to school, hoping that they would have a bright future.
As for Shen's identity, apart from knowing that her former daughter-in-law was from the capital, Old Lady Qin still knows nothing else.
The man who claimed to be the eldest brother of the Shen family looked noble and was accompanied by so many guards. He could definitely not be an ordinary person.
After Qin Huaizheng went to the capital, he seemed to have gradually let it go, but it also seemed as if he had never let it go.
He tried his best to help Dalang and Erlang pass the imperial examinations. Wasn't he also thinking of sending the two brothers to the capital?
I'm afraid my son had not given up on Shen back then.
Over the years, those people never appeared again, and Old Lady Qin gradually relaxed her vigilance.
Now that Qin Huaihai suddenly came to the door with an unflinching look on his face, this old secret had to be brought to the surface again.
What Old Lady Qin is afraid of is that the person behind Qin Huaihai is really related to someone in Beijing.
Before that group of people showed up, Old Lady Qin was also curious about the origins of her daughter-in-law.
Shen was good at embroidery and could read and paint.
Old Mrs. Qin once saw the paintings that Shen had drawn on the ground with charcoal. With just a few strokes, the portraits seemed to come alive.
After she accidentally discovered it that time, Shen never painted in front of her again.
As for her excellent embroidery skills, Shen's explanation at the time was that her family was well-off enough to learn embroidery from an embroiderer for a few years.
At that time, Qin Huaizheng protected Shen like the apple of his eye. She did not dare to ask more questions, for fear of upsetting her son.
"Grandma, what you mean is that my mother, she, she is not dead. She was just taken away, right?"
Qin Ziyan looked at Old Lady Qin, wanting to hear a definite answer from her again.
Old Mrs. Qin nodded at him and then let out a long sigh.
"I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know how she is doing now. Grandma knows this much. I'm not afraid of Qin Zhengde and his men in the village. I'm afraid of the people in the capital. Although our Qin family's life has improved, and A Ruo has made some money, we are just ordinary people and can't fight against the powerful."
"I don't want anything to happen to our family anymore. I just want peace and security. Your mother's family won't tolerate our Qin family. They're probably worried that one day we'll try to get close to the rich and powerful and go find your mother, so they turn around and join forces with Qin Zhengde and the others to deal with our Qin family."
Old Mrs. Qin explained the pros and cons clearly, hoping to persuade Qin Ruo and her siblings to leave.
Although it is still uncertain whether this matter is related to the capital.
But Old Lady Qin was really scared. Her life as an old woman was worthless, but her three siblings were still young, and no accidents could happen to them again.
What Old Lady Qin said was almost exactly what Qin Ruo had guessed.
Therefore, there was no trace of surprise on her face.
As for the original owner's mother, Qin Ruo didn't know what her current situation was, or whether she was involved in the incident.
No matter how good the Shen family was to the Qin family in the past, it is all in the past and people change.
If Shen really came from a powerful family in Beijing, why did she ignore the Qin family in the past ten years? Qin Ruo reserved her attitude towards Shen for the time being.
"Has mother never thought of coming back to see us in all these years? Does she really not want us anymore?" Qin Zimu asked the question that Qin Ziyan dared not ask.
"Erlang, don't hate your mother. I think your mother has her own difficulties. A woman's situation in this world is difficult. You will understand it when you grow up."
Old Mrs. Qin let out a long sigh.
Qin Zi felt sad when he heard this. He couldn't understand why his mother was not dead but never came back to see them.
Even if it was not done secretly, if you say that you had no choice back then, then what about now? Is it also out of your control?
