Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

”Raised in the countryside for many years.”

”Adopted daughter, weak and sickly.”

”Often needs blood transfusions, almost died several times.”

...

What exactly sounds so familiar?

Qin Wenrou pondered as she walked.

When she got home, Mrs. Qin was already anxiously approaching, ”Rou’er, where did you rush off to? You haven’t even had the dumplings, come quickly...”

Qin Wenrou lifted her head, fixed her eyes on Mrs. Qin, and said word by word, ”Mom, tell me the truth, why did you say that it wasn’t a good thing for sis to marry into the Nalan Family?”

Mrs. Qin was startled.

Then she evaded the topic, ”Oh dear, your sister and Xiao Shuang haven’t come back for dinner, I must save some dumplings for them. Rou’er, do you prefer sesame or peanut flavor? You pick first, and the rest goes to your sister and Xiao Shuang.”

Qin Wenrou pushed the bowl in Mrs. Qin’s hand aside, ”Mom, now is not the time to discuss sesame or peanut. Look into my eyes and tell me the truth, don’t think about hiding it from me. Anyway, I already know about that adopted daughter, left in the countryside, weak and sickly, living on blood transfusions from the Nalan Family...”

Mrs. Qin’s arm trembled, and the bowl of dumplings beside her was knocked to the ground.

”Clang——!” It shattered into countless pieces.

But she didn’t care to pick up the bowl, instead, she trembled and said, ”You know? You know your sister gave blood to that adopted daughter?”

Qin Wenrou’s head buzzed like a cracked dumpling bowl.

What?

Qin Xin had given blood to that adopted daughter?

No wonder something seemed familiar about that detail.

Because Qin Xin had spent some time in the hospital as a child.

And also had been hospitalized every few years since.

The most recent time was half a year ago. It was said there was a massive hemorrhage in the hospital, and she lost a lot of blood. When brought home, she looked extremely pale.

Could it be she went to sell blood?

Qin Wenrou’s shock was beyond words, but she still tried to appear as if she knew everything all along, coldly laughing at Mrs. Qin,

”So, you’re saying that marrying sis into the Nalan Family is to provide a regular blood supply for their ailing adopted daughter? Is that the true reason behind the marriage agreement between the Qin Family and the Nalan Family?”

Mrs. Qin’s expression stiffened, her eyes reddening, ”Don’t ask anymore. In any case, you should thank your sister. She made a great sacrifice by marrying into the Nalan Family, and I feel it’s unbearable. You shouldn’t mention it anymore about either you or your sister marrying your brother-in-law. Just focus on preparing for your marriage with Ying Jun. The Nalan Family... though very wealthy, is truly not an appropriate match for us; you cannot bear the consequences of marrying into that family. Your mother hopes you live a peaceful life, attaining a plain and steady happiness. Ying Jun is very suitable for you, he’s reliable and steady, and nothing will go wrong.”

Qin Wenrou heard something else, ”Are you saying something unexpected might happen to Mr. Nalan? Mom, can you tell me clearly just once?”

Mrs. Qin avoided looking at her and for the first time severely rebuked Qin Wenrou, ”What are you asking so much for, you’re just a child. Your brother-in-law has nothing to do with you, stop asking.”

Qin Wenrou: ”...”

Of course, she wanted to ask.

Her brother-in-law was the man she desired.

There was no man more powerful and charismatic than her brother-in-law in the world.

Even sitting in a wheelchair, he exuded masculinity so dominantly arrogant.

But she couldn’t speak these out loud.

She glanced at Mrs. Qin’s slightly reddened eyes, realizing Mrs. Qin still cared for Qin Xin, thus hiding something from her.
