The rain was getting heavier.
In just a moment, the small courtyard covered with sand and dust turned into a muddy pool. The people standing in the courtyard were all soaked and looked very embarrassed.
Qin Feng's arm was still bleeding, which was not so obvious in the rain, but the pain in his arm was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. He thought that he had treated his precious daughter as the apple of his eye and gave her all the best, but in the end his daughter drew a sword against him! As a father, how sad and lamentable it is!
"Unfilial daughter! You attacked your father, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Qin Feng's roar was accompanied by rolling thunder, and the sky seemed to be covered by a layer of black cloth, gloomy and depressing, with lightning rolling in the clouds, right above Qin Huairou's head, as if it could fall at any time.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
This was the sky's anger and roar, as if it was a warning to Qin Huairou.
Xiaoyue, the only maid standing under the eaves, had already been frightened to death by this scene. She knelt on the ground with a pale face, hugging a doorpost and shivering: "It's over, Xiaoyue will also be punished!"
However, Qin Huairou didn't care. She still frowned under the rolling thunder god, and her hand holding the sword didn't move at all. She let the rain wash her already pale face, and she didn't blink when the rain flowed into her eyes.
"Ministers often say that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time since ancient times, and women can't be loyal and filial at the same time. I would be considered unfilial if I attacked my father, and if I let my father kill my husband, it would be considered unfaithful. Since loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, a daughter can only be unfilial and loyal!"
"What a loyal person who is unfilial! Good! Very good!" Qin Feng trembled, and felt that his blood was boiling, and he felt that he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The one who was most heartbroken at this moment was not Qin Feng, but Qin Shi, who was crying without tears beside Qin Feng. Both sides were his dearest ones, but now they were confronting each other like enemies. What should he do?
"Master, let's go! I feel dizzy, hurry... go back!"
Qin Shi just wanted to leave here. She didn't want to see the father and daughter tearing her heart apart. This kind of pain was really too hard to bear.
Qin Feng had already lost control. How could he see the pain of his wife? He turned around and slapped her!
"Pa!"
"Look at the good daughter you taught. I raised her for 18 years, but in the end she wanted to kill me. This is all your fault! I, Qin Feng, have been a soldier for half of my life. I didn't expect that I would suffer such retribution in my twilight years!"
"Ah!"
After speaking, Qin Shi's mind was scattered, and she fainted beside Qin Feng with a wail.
"Mother!"
Qin Feng supported his wife and turned back to glare at Qin Huairou: "Evil creature! Don't come over here! Now that the Xia family has offended His Royal Highness Prince Yong, your willful behavior will not only put yourself in danger, but also implicate the entire Qin family! Do you want to put the entire Qin family in trouble?"
Implicate...
The two words from his father's mouth pierced Qin Huairou's heart like a needle.
The past appeared in Qin Huairou's mind like a stream of light and phantom.
...
When I was young, I was laughed at by my brothers and sisters because I was too tall, and my father didn't look at me seriously. I thought that if I learned a good hand at women's work and read a set of "Women's Training", my father would treat me better. But she didn't expect that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her father's approval. She would always look at the high wall in the small backyard...
"The Qin family has a Miss Gao, with big breasts, fat hips and a thin waist. When she walks, she sways and can be blown down by the wind. Hahaha..."
"You...you are not allowed to talk nonsense."
"Er...er...you are so ugly and you don't let people talk about it?"
"Wuwuwu...I will tell my father about you."
"Go ahead! We are not afraid, and father will not care about you!"
"That's right! I heard from mother that you are the joke of the Qin family! Do you know why father doesn't let you go out? He is afraid that others will see you so ugly and tall and laugh at the Qin family!"
"You...nonsense! This is not true!"
...
"Daddy! Daddy...my brother and sister said that Daddy doesn't let Rouer go out because he is afraid that I will be embarrassed ..."
"Don't mess around, Dad is going out for a while, we'll talk when I come back."
"Dad... Tell Rou'er that this is not true... Dad, don't leave!"
...
"Rou'er, tell me why you practice martial arts."
"Rou'er doesn't want to be bullied or laughed at! Rou'er wants to be a woman who can support a family, and in the future, my parents, my husband, and my servants will not dare to look down on me!"
...
"You have to marry today, whether you want to or not! Have you forgotten the three obediences and four virtues your mother taught you? Dare to go against your father?"
"Parents' orders, matchmaker's words! If my father thinks his daughter is only worth this ten thousand taels of gold, my daughter will marry Xia Shang!"
...
The unforgettable wounds were sprinkled with salt again because of the word "involved", and the scarred heart seemed to be torn apart!
"Daughter...daughter! I always thought that my father cared so much because he was afraid that I would not live well! It turns out...it turns out that he was afraid of bringing trouble to the Qin family!" Qin Huairou felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her little hands, which were blackened by the rain, clenched tightly together, "It's easy to deal with it. From now on, you and I will sever our father-daughter relationship! I, Qin Huairou, will no longer have any connection with the Qin family! This is the hundred taels of silver I brought from the Qin family, and now I will return it to you!"
A purse embroidered with delicate chrysanthemums fell at Qin Feng's feet through the rain curtain...
A flash of lightning illuminated Qin Huairou's face.
Qin Feng, who thought he knew his daughter very well, suddenly found that his daughter was so strange. It turned out that the daughter who was a little inferior because of her height and tried her best to maintain the posture of a little woman was as strong as iron in her heart.
I used to think that my daughter was like her mother, but it turned out that my daughter was another me!
"Evil creature! You have to think it over carefully. Xia Shang is a useless beast, heartless and ungrateful, and he is even more harsh and heartless to you. The Xia family is now in ruins and surrounded by enemies. You have chosen a path, and there is no turning back! Have you really thought it through?!"
Qin Huairou turned back and glared at Xia Shang, stabbed the long sword in her hand heavily into the ground, clasped her hands together, and knelt on the ground: "Forgive me for being unfilial! The path I chose, no matter how hard it is in the future, I, Qin Huairou, will finish it even if I kneel down, and I will never regret it in this life!"
The path I chose, I will kneel down and finish it. To finish...
"Young Madam is so kind! I... I... If I, Li Zhong, am lucky enough to marry and have children in the future, my descendants will serve Young Madam from generation to generation to repay Young Madam's kindness to the Xia family!"
This love and loyalty have long exceeded the love between children. Li Zhong was unable to express his inner feelings. He knelt in the rain and kowtowed to Young Madam repeatedly, and couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "Master, Madam! Did you see it? The Xia family is saved! Young Madam... Young Madam will become the pillar of the Xia family in the future!"
What kind of woman is this? !
Even Yazhi was frightened by this resolute momentum and retreated under the eaves.
"You, woman, have a good heart, but you speak and act too sharply. To be honest, you are not very likable. No wonder I wanted to divorce you before."
Xia Shang came to Qin Huairou with his hands behind his back, gently helped her up, and said lightly, looking at her, less than half a foot away.
Qin Huairou was upset at this time. Everything she said was not for the man in front of her. Perhaps part of the reason was because the Xia family was in trouble, but more because she insisted on what she thought was right in her heart. I thought this man would be moved by what I did, but I never thought that he would say such a sentence right away. Suddenly, my heart ached and I wanted to push Xia Shang away.
At this moment, Xia Shang suddenly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Qin Huairou's face. The gentle and gentle movements and the smile on the corner of his mouth were so gentle!
Qin Huairou was stunned, not only because Xia Shang's appearance was very handsome and his movements were a little ambiguous, but also because this was the first time she saw her husband treat her like this. This was the tenderness she had never seen before. From her husband's eyes, she could feel the pity from the bottom of his heart, and the deep warmth she felt in her heart at this moment.
Xia Shang's mood was also very complicated. It seemed a bit too much to say that he fell in love with Qin Huairou, but his heart was really moved by her. If there was such a wife, he would not have to ask for anything in this life.
Of course, it is not so easy for a 30-year-old soul to express his inner feelings directly. He believes that the gentle touch at this moment can make the other person feel his touch and pity.
After all, women are women. No matter how strong they appear, they are very fragile inside.
A gentle touch became the greatest warmth and comfort Qin Huairou has ever felt in her life, and it is also a wife's little wish to be cared for by her husband.
When she was ruthlessly driven out of the house, she did not cry.
When she drew her sword against her father, she did not cry.
When she decided to sever the father-daughter relationship, she did not cry.
But in a gentle touch, tears fell like rain...
All the grievances, discomfort, and sadness came out at this moment, and they could no longer be hidden!
"Get out! You heartless man! Was your heart made of iron before? Woo woo..."
