Chapter 369 - 366: Sever an Arm
Qin Liuxi came to Old Mrs. Qin just to confirm whether the Qin Family’s Third had an accident or not. Now that it was confirmed, the prescription was written, and she did not stay long. She performed the ritual and left as if she truly came just to check the peace pulse for Old Mrs. Qin without any delay, leaving Mrs. Fang from the northeast, who was chatting with the Old Lady, baffled.
"Miss is really straightforward, speaks her mind, and is quite decisive," Mrs. Fang remarked meaningfully.
In other families, which girl wouldn’t try to please their grandmother and say nice things? Only her, came just to check the pulse, and even spoke unpleasantly without fearing to upset the elder.
From her perspective, it seemed like Qin Liuxi deliberately belittled someone.
Old Mrs. Qin was unsettled these past few days, and with those few words from Qin Liuxi, she wasn’t pleased, waving her hand, "She’s considered an outsider after all, different from the real great clans. Let’s not talk about it. Mrs. Fang, you shall set off back tomorrow. Don’t mention too many upsetting matters to Yingniang; taking care of the pregnancy is important..."
Seeing her low spirits, Mrs. Fang tactfully continued along this topic.
Qin Liuxi, unaware of being eyed, even if she knew, wouldn’t care; in her eyes, these petty tricks were not worth mentioning.
As she walked out of the Old Lady’s courtyard, she encountered several young ladies coming to pay respects to the Old Lady. Although they were dressed in cotton dresses and thin cloaks, which was a significant improvement from when they first arrived, their hair adorned with twin bead flowers.
Their outfits and appearance were apt and youthful, indeed a beautiful sight.
Qin Liuxi glanced at them, thinking that the young Miss Qin claimed hardship but wasn’t truly suffering. They were still rather fortunate; others might end up as lowly servants or maids.
Seeing Qin Liuxi, they instinctively stopped and bowed their knees in greeting.
Qin Liuxi nodded her head and walked on without uttering a word.
