"Hello, Mrs. Qin!" Qin Xiaoxiao did not hear Mrs. Qin's words clearly. She stood five steps away and gave a respectful junior salute to Mrs. Qin.

"Good boy, come here and let me have a good look." Mrs. Qin had a great impression of Qin Xiaoxiao and waved to her eagerly, wanting to pull her forward to take a closer look.

Qin Xiaoxiao was not afraid of strangers. She approached Mrs. Qin seriously, with a pleasing smile on her pretty and lovely face.

Mrs. Qin's well-maintained hands gently touched her eyebrows, which gradually coincided with her son's childhood face in her mind. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart: This girl, isn't Huai'er's child left outside?

Thinking of this, her expression became more loving: "What is your name and how old are you this year?"

Qin Xiaoxiao replied crisply: "Old madam, my name is Qin Xiaoxiao, I am five and a half years old this year."

"Five and a half years old? Oh, he's the same age as that naughty boy Chen'er!" Mrs. Qin was very surprised, and she felt that the little girl was destined to be with her family: "It's only been ten years since I smiled, and my name sounds good!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was very narcissistic and nodded heavily in agreement with Mrs. Qin's compliment: "My father gave me the name!"

Mrs. Qin saw that Qin Xiaoxiao was not shy, and she liked her even more. Then she followed her words and praised: "Your father is so awesome, he gave you such a good name."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes. She also felt that Mrs. Qin was kind and kind, and even flattered her: "The old lady is also very good. She smiles like the Bodhisattva enshrined in my shrine!"

"Oh, look at this mouth, you have to eat several kilograms of honey to be so sweet, right?" Old Madam Qin was coaxed to smile. She hugged Qin Xiaoxiao and liked it very much: "Tell me to go out more, you can call me

I said 'Grandma Qin' and we were so affectionate."

Qin Xiaoxiao had called many people grandma, so naturally she was not afraid of calling one more, and decisively shouted: "Grandma Qin!"

"Hey, okay, I only have one grandson, and I lack a beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter like you." Mrs. Qin was so happy that she suddenly felt that she couldn't get the meeting gift she had prepared before, so she immediately told Mother Liu: "Go,

Go to the warehouse to pick out some good things for this girl as a greeting gift."

Qin Xiaoxiao was not familiar with Mrs. Qin and was embarrassed to ask for her greeting gift, so she quickly said: "Grandma Qin, no, no, no, I don't call you Grandma Qin to coax you."

"Haha, you girl is so funny." Mrs. Qin laughed heartily. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao still shook her head and refused to take it, she deliberately said with a straight face: "The elder is kind enough to give it to you. Just take it."

."

Qin Xiaoxiao was very distressed. At Mrs. Qin's insistence, she had no choice but to say: "Thank you, Grandma Qin."

"Be good, this is the right thing." Mrs. Qin regained her smile and winked at Mother Liu.

Mother Liu agreed with a smile, took the key and went to the warehouse.

Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao intently. She was satisfied everywhere she looked. She actually thought that having a granddaughter who looked like her son would be a great joy. She couldn't help but treat Qin Xiaoxiao with the same attitude as a grandson.

.

If there were outsiders present, they would think they were a pair of biological grandparents.

Li Yingran secretly marveled that she had learned how to please her little niece, and how she could make the seemingly uncharitable Mrs. Qin so happy with just a few words. She couldn't help but suspect that there was no one in the world she could not please.

The same goes for Yunshi, but she is even more sad.

After so many years of being a child in front of Mrs. Qin, she has never received a compliment from Mrs. Qin, let alone a sincere smile from Mrs. Qin.

When she saw an old man and a young man who were as close as grandparents, she couldn't help but feel terrified, fearing that Qin Xiaoxiao was Qin Huai's daughter living outside. If that was the case, she didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Yun's fear was also Mrs. Qin's suspicion. After kissing Qin Xiaoxiao, she asked about the Qin family: "What are your parents' names? How do you make a living at home? Are there any brothers and sisters?"

Qin Xiaoxiao answered them one by one. When it was the last question, she included the four Dabao brothers and sisters, as well as Hu Qingqing, Zhao Yinyin and other brothers and sisters.

After being reminded by Li Yingran, she realized that she had made a mistake, so she corrected her previous statement: "My mother gave birth to my only child, and she wanted to have another one to keep me company, but the god was too stingy and refused to give in.

My mother gave birth to one more child."

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Lin Qiuniang couldn't give birth, and she couldn't explain it to the girl, so she threw the blame on the Bodhisattva.

Thinking that Lin Qiuniang got married early, was older than her son, and was unlikely to have anything to do with him, she didn't know whether to feel more relieved or regretful.

Suppressing all the thoughts in her heart, Mrs. Qin asked about other things. When she learned that Qin Xiaoxiao had become a wife at a young age, she repeatedly said: "It’s good to study, it’s good to study. No matter if you are a boy or a girl, reading too much will not help you."

wrong."

It is said that the ancestors of the Qin family had high-ranking officials, and the Qin family has always regarded itself as a scholarly family. Even in Qin Huai's generation, it has declined to the point where he has to rely on the support of the Yue family to advance, but the matter of studying has firmly penetrated into the bones of the Qin family.

.

But at this moment, Mrs. Qin was almost certain that Qin Xiaoxiao had nothing to do with her son. The resemblance was purely a coincidence. Otherwise, no one would go to great lengths to educate an unrelated girl.

Mrs. Yun on the side breathed a sigh of relief. She had the same idea as Mrs. Qin. They both felt that Qin Xiaoxiao was a child of the Qin family, and only the Qin family would do this for a girl.

Although she thinks so, she still wants Qin Huai and Qin Xiaoxiao to meet each other to confirm that they are indeed not related, so that she can truly feel at ease.

After receiving the meeting gift from Mrs. Qin, Qin Xiaoxiao said a lot of flattering words to her. In the end, Mrs. Qin lost energy and wanted to go back to her room to sleep, so she left here with Li Yingran and the Yun family.

Yun did have the Southern Rouge sent by her parents, so she took Qin Xiaoxiao and Li Yingran to her yard.

Knowing that she was the only one who came to the house to reward Rouge, the something wrong in Li Yingran's heart emerged again.

Seeing Yun's soul wandering around again, her eyes often falling on Qin Xiaoxiao, who was playing with the maid in the yard, she couldn't help but suspect that the reward for rouge was a lie, and that recruiting Qin Xiaoxiao to the Qin Mansion was real.

"Sister, where are you? I can't even catch you." Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what Li Yingran was thinking. She was blindfolded by a silk handkerchief and was playing blind with a few maids.

"Girl, the slaves are here, you can catch them if you go forward." The maids were young and they just wanted to play. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have the airs of a young lady, they boldly played with her.

stand up.

"Hehe, don't move, I will catch you soon." Qin Xiaoxiao followed the voice and moved forward, grabbing the air with his two small hands, but always when he was about to catch him, he

It slipped away from my hand.

"Mother, mother, do you have any chestnut cake? I'm starving to death!" Outside the yard, Qin Zhichen arrived without saying a word. Before the people in the yard could recover, he rushed in quickly and met someone who emerged from the corner.

Qin Xiaoxiao came out and bumped into each other.

"Ah, I caught it, I caught you!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she grabbed Qin Zhichen's clothes with one hand and pulled off the silk handkerchief from her eyes with the other hand. After seeing who the person caught was, she shouted loudly

: "Who is it you?"

After not seeing each other for half a year, she was able to recognize Qin Zhichen at a glance. It was all because Qin Zhichen made trouble three or three times that deepened her memory, to the point where it was difficult not to recognize him when she saw him.

"Wild girl, let me go!" Qin Zhichen also recognized Qin Xiaoxiao, who had made him frustrated many times. He raised his hand and slapped her hand hard, making a loud snapping sound.

Qin Xiaoxiao was in great pain and subconsciously let go of his hand: "How can you hit someone?"

The effect of force is mutual. Qin Zhichen also retracted his hand in pain and rolled his eyes at Qin Xiaoxiao: "Who asked you to pull my clothes? If your hand is broken, it will be fine!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was furious and wanted to reason with him. Realizing that he was not a reasonable person, he followed his example and rolled his eyes: "Huh, I don't want to reason with uncivilized barbarians!"

After that, she returned the silk handkerchief to the maid who was playing hide and seek with her, and walked quickly into the house with her head held high.

She was afraid that if she walked too slowly, the uncivilized barbarians would get angry and rush over to beat her.

It's not that she's worried about not being able to beat Qin Zhichen. She feels that this is his territory. If he wins, she'll be rude. If he loses, she'll suffer. She won't be able to get anything better, so avoiding Qin Zhichen is the best choice.

"Stinky girl, stop for me!" Qin Zhichen realized that he had been scolded and angrily went to Qin Xiaoxiao to settle the score. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao dared to run, he immediately opened his legs and chased after her quickly.

Qin Xiaoxiao was startled and ran quickly: "I'm not a fool. If you have the guts, don't chase me!"

The maids and servants in the yard were afraid that the two would really fight, so they also chased after her to stop her: "Master, Miss Xiaoxiao is a guest, you can't do anything!"

"Don't run away if you can. If you don't run away, I won't chase you!" Qin Zhichen ignored the words of the maids and servants and chased Qin Xiaoxiao as fast as he could escape from his father's hands.

"You won't run if you don't chase me!" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't trust Qin Zhichen, so she ran even more happily with her short legs. When she found a step under her feet, she hurriedly jumped on it and sped up to run towards the house.

"Stop, stand for me... Ouch -" Qin Zhichen became increasingly angry. He was only focused on chasing people without paying attention to his feet. He fell to the ground with a "plop" and hit his forehead on the top step, which hurt him.

He covered his head and screamed.

"Master, are you okay?" Several maids and servants were frightened and rushed over to help Qin Zhichen up. They saw him crying profusely, a big bump bulging on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their faces were all pale.

Qin Xiaoxiao was also frightened, and hurriedly turned back to see Qin Zhichen's condition: "Are you okay?"

"Ouch, it hurts so much, I'm going to hurt so much!" Qin Zhichen was in so much pain that he couldn't care about her, and cried with snot and tears, so pitiful.

Li Yingran and Yunshi in the room noticed something was wrong, put down their rouge, got up and walked out.
