Just as she had finally mastered the difficult Peach Needle, she arrived at the doorway only to find that her daughter had turned into a little lunatic. Her hair was a mess, and there were a few blades of grass sticking to it. Her face was sweaty, with black soot on the tip of her nose. Her clothes, dress, and shoes were all covered with dirt and grass. She didn’t walk like a young lady; she either ran or hopped.
Her daughter was still in the courtyard, and her loud voice calling for Zi Zhu carried into the small courtyard.
Cheng Yue was taken aback by the sight of her daughter, then covered her face with a handkerchief and started sobbing. She blamed herself for not disciplining her daughter properly, and lamented that she had let down her mother, and let down Brother Jiang. She also ordered Qian Xiaoyu to spank Zi Zhu ten times on the palm and deducted two months of her allowance.
A beauty’s tears are pitiful to behold.
The sound of sobbing was unbearable for Qian Yixiu, who quickly went to her mother to admit her mistakes and promised not to repeat them, but she couldn’t console her. Her mother ran back to the bed in the left wing and continued crying, not listening to any of her daughter’s explanations.
Seeing her crying like this, the rest of the family was terrified. Lady Wu and Qian Manxia tried to comfort her inside the small room, while Qian Sangui persuaded from outside the window, but none could console her.
Cheng Yue had become fixated, blaming herself for being negligent with her daughter, and the more she cried, the sadder she became, close to fainting. This frightened Qian Yixiu into crying along with her.
The commotion had grown quite large, and had even attracted both Elder Mr. Yu and Qian Yijin from the main courtyard.
Qian Yijin also ran into the small room to persuade Cheng Yue.
After listening to everyone’s persuasion, Elder Mr. Yu roughly understood why Cheng Yue was so upset: she was blaming herself for raising her daughter so roughly.
Raising a daughter delicately is the way of wealthy families.
