Not only did Mo Mo's act of coquettishness and infatuation not arouse the loving hearts of his parents, but he also received a few slaps on his little buttocks. He covered his buttocks and huddled in the corner in aggrieved manner, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

The next morning, the two brothers got up early as usual and went to the martial arts arena to practice basic skills such as squatting on horseback. In just six months, they had made a lot of progress and were able to hold still for about a moment.

On such a cold winter day, the two brothers persisted despite the wind and snow. Not only Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng were surprised, but also the Princess Protector, who was strict with them, was also very pleased.

The children had worked so hard, and Qin Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to sleep in. She almost got up before they left for the martial arts field, and then the three of them had breakfast together. After that, the twins went to the Xu Mansion for classes, while Qin Xiaoxiao was busy handling government affairs.

After finishing breakfast and sending the twins out, Qin Xiaoxiao went back to her room and changed her clothes, preparing to go to the small courtyard to meet her family. She found that the white jade hairpin on her head did not match her clothes, so she picked it out of the dowry box.

Put on the jade hairpin.

At this time, Xingtian walked in with a solemn expression and said: "Madam, someone from the Qin Mansion came and said that the old lady fell and is not well."

Qin Xiaoxiao let go of his hand, and the jade hairpin fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Mrs. Qin's body and bones have never been as good as those of other old ladies. She would suffer from coughing every autumn and winter, and she would become very depressed and depressed. Even taking medicine would not help. She would not get better until the weather got warmer in spring.

This year is the same.

The weather was not very good a while ago. It was either blowing cold wind or raining and snowing. Mrs. Qin was bored in the house all day, and her energy was even worse. Finally, the day before yesterday had beautiful weather, and she was supported by her maid.

I couldn't wait to get out of the house.

She originally wanted to walk around in the yard and bask in the sun, but as soon as the warm sun hit her, she felt sleepy and had someone bring a royal couch to rest outside.

However, the wind picked up not long after resting. Mrs. Qin was reminded by her maid to prepare to return to her room. Unexpectedly, when she was going up the steps, she tripped her legs and feet and threw herself out.

The maids serving on the left and right were unprepared. Under the impact of inertia, they not only failed to support Mrs. Qin in time, but were also thrown down with them.

The two maids were fine, but there were a few bruises on their knees and elbows. Mrs. Qin couldn't stand up after falling. People are even more confused today, even Mother Liu, who has served her for decades.

Can't recognize it.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qin Mansion, Qin Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage and ran all the way to Mrs. Qin's yard. Seeing Mrs. Liu and others standing at the door of the room, she slowed down, her chest

Ups and downs violently.

As soon as Liu's mother saw her, tears fell from her red eyes: "The old lady is waiting for the girl, please go in quickly."

Qin Xiaoxiao's throat was severely clogged, and there was a faint smell of blood. She nodded to Liu's mother, and quickly walked into the room, followed closely by Mingyue, who was carrying a medical box.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, and there was a heavy depression in the room.

Mrs. Qin was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was pale and even her lips were abnormally purple.

Qin Huai was wearing court clothes and sitting on the side of the bed with his back to the door, his originally straight back hunched over. He looked motionless at his mother on the bed, the sadness in his eyes almost solidifying.

The old lady was in good spirits yesterday, and he went to court early today as usual. As soon as he left the court, he received bad news from someone sent by the housekeeper that the old lady was not in good condition, and he hurried back without even bothering to change his court clothes.

As if she heard the sound at the door, Mrs. Qin suddenly opened her eyes and looked over eagerly: "Xiaoxiao, is Xiaoxiao girl here?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red instantly, and she quickly passed Qin Huai and rushed to the bed, tightly holding the old man's stretched out hand: "Grandma, it's me, I'm here to see you."

Mrs. Qin looked back and forth for a long time before her eyes focused on her granddaughter's face. A kind smile appeared on her face: "You are so busy and you come here. What's so good about an old woman like me?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. Tears fell down and hit the back of Mrs. Qin's hand. She hurriedly wiped her tears and showed a happy look: "Grandma, you are talking nonsense.

The most beautiful old lady I have ever seen, I can’t get enough of her every time I look at her.”

Mrs. Qin opened her mouth and wanted to laugh like before, but her chest was so heavy that she couldn't laugh at all. She realized something and looked at her granddaughter longingly: "Smile, grandma is going to die.

If you look a few more times this time, you won’t be able to see it again..."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt great grief in her heart, as if she had been hit hard by a heavy hammer: "No, you are so young, you will live a long life! Last time you said you wanted to see your great-grandson get a wife, you want to see

Until your great-great-grandson is born, you can’t keep your word!”

Mrs. Qin sighed and patted the back of her hand feebly: "This time grandma is going to break her promise..."

After saying that, she took a breath and looked at her only child: "Do you remember everything I told you?"

Qin Huai nodded stiffly and looked at his mother attentively: "Remember."

Mrs. Qin felt relieved and her expression became calmer: "Just remember it. I'll be relieved if you remember it... I want to talk to Xiaoxiao alone for a while. You can go out and don't get in the way here."

Qin Huai glanced at his daughter, endured the grief in his heart, slowly got up and walked out.

Mrs. Qin held her granddaughter's hand in vain, and her eyes fell on her face for a long time: "More than ten years have passed in a flash. The first time I saw you, you were only a little older. I liked you as soon as I saw you. I thought...

I want you to be my goddaughter..."

Qin Xiaoxiao had heard the old lady say this many times, but it was still as if she heard it for the first time. A smile appeared on her face: "Isn't this because grandma and I are related?"

Mrs. Qin said happily: "Yes, God has been kind to me. He sent you to me when I was old. You and a few children have been hanging around in front of me from time to time over the years. I have no regrets in this life!"

Qin Xiaoxiao coaxed: "You are less than sixty years old, and you are younger than my grandparents. When you get better and live to be a hundred, you will be happy to see five generations living under the same roof and six generations living together."

She still couldn't believe that the old lady was dying, and she silently prayed to God to let the old lady pass this test and get better.

"Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will have to leave one day. Grandma has no regrets. Even if she is gone now, she is satisfied." Although Mrs. Qin was reluctant to give up, she also took life and death lightly and did not want her granddaughter to feel sad about it.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes felt hot again, and she grabbed the old lady's cold hand tightly, trying to warm her up.

Mrs. Qin looked at her and asked unexpectedly: "Xiaoxiao, do you still blame your father?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "If you still blame Mr. Qin, you won't call him grandpa if you make noise in silence."

At first, the truth was not clear. She hated the murderer who maliciously exchanged children, and she also had no good impression of her biological father. Later, when the truth came out and he severely punished the evildoer, she no longer felt any resentment.

However, the father and daughter have been separated for more than ten years, and she also has a father who loves her dearly, so it is difficult for her to transfer her admiration for her father to him.

Until they had closer and closer contact in the past few years, she felt the father's love from him, and unknowingly regarded him as another father. She would care about his welfare, and worry about being plotted against him because of his high position.

They would be afraid that he would be feared by the emperor and cause disaster...

If the truth had been revealed when she was young, she might have acted coquettishly and complained to him when she returned to her biological father. However, the separation of more than ten years could not be repeated, and she would probably never be as close to him as she was to her father in her entire life.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin said excitedly: "It's okay if you don't complain, it's okay if you don't complain. I'm afraid that if I go there in the future, you will never come back with the children again."

Speaking of this, a sad look appeared on her face: "He will only have your child in this life, and he will never marry again in the future. When I leave, he will be the only one left in this huge house. If you don't

Come……"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, the scene of his biological father sitting alone at the dinner table came to mind, and his heart suddenly became sour: "Don't say these unlucky words. If that day comes, I will bring the children back to accompany Mr. Qin."

, won’t leave him alone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she knew that these were false. In the next few decades, even if she could bring her children here every now and then, she could not compare to having someone who could greet her every day.

Thinking of this, a thought quickly flashed through my mind.

Mrs. Qin was most worried about her only child. Her eyes became wet after receiving her granddaughter's approval: "Okay, good child, this way I can leave with peace of mind..."

Tears burst into Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes: "Grandma, you will get better. Can you just hold on a little longer, even if it's not for yourself, then do it for Mr. Qin?"

Mrs. Qin also had wet eyes, and her voice became weaker and weaker: "Okay, listen, listen to you, grandma, grandma, try to get better..."

Looking at the old man's dim eyes, Qin Xiaoxiao burst into tears and hugged her tightly until she couldn't help crying.

"Don't, don't cry. When you cry, I won't feel at ease when grandma leaves..." Mrs. Qin used all her strength to pat her granddaughter's shoulder and back, with a loving smile on her face.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

At this time, silent noises came from outside the door. Before the two of them arrived at the Xu Mansion, they were brought here by people sent by Qin Xiaoxiao.

Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up again when she heard her great-grandson's voice: "Okay, okay, that's great..."

Soon, Jing Heng also arrived, and Mr. Qin and others who were supposed to be watching the ceremony at another Qin Mansion also came over.
