Chapter 226 - 228: Thought_1
Outside the courtyard, Old Mrs. Qin called for Li Qiao to come out and bask in the sun.
"Coming." Li Qiao got up and went outside, and not long after she sat down, Old Mr. Xue came over with a gray paper package the size of a brick in his hand. She greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Sir Xue, what do you have there?"
"A friend gave me some donkey-hide gelatin, and I thought I’d bring some over for you to try."
"Donkey-hide gelatin can last a long time, you should keep it and eat it slowly, there’s no need to bring it here." Old Mrs. Qin didn’t want it. If Jiang Wanqiu found out, the couple would surely argue about it.
"Don’t stand on ceremony." Old Mr. Xue insisted on entering the kitchen and placed the bag on the table.
Li Qiao moved a stool for him.
Old Mrs. Qin brought over some tea.
Old Mr. Xue asked, "Why didn’t you go to school today?"
"She’s ill." Old Mrs. Qin explained what had happened.
Old Mr. Xue talked about Xue Lingqing, who was also ill and resting. "Jingyi and Sufen are perfectly fine, but Sufen’s tooth broke in half, she cried all night, acting like a three-year-old child despite being grown." And when she got home, she actually said that Qiaoqiao and Jin had conspired to set her up.
The slippers were the evidence.
