Twin Brocade

Chapter 262 Confessing the Aftermath
Seeing the arrival of the two friends, Qiao Tongxuan cried "Wow", and then burst into tears.

Wu Wanling was taken aback by her, Fang Jinshu said: "It's a good thing to be able to cry, let her cry a little longer." As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged her, letting Qiao Tongxuan vent his emotions wantonly.

After a long while, Qiao Tongxuan stopped sobbing, and said with a sob: "You don't know, she is here to be my stepmother."

Sooner or later, everyone will know about this matter, and she simply stopped hiding it from her friends who cared about her.

"Stepmother, who is it?" Wu Wanling was confused and said, "Your mother..."

Fang Jinshu held Qiao Tongxuan's hand like a mirror in his heart and said, "Don't be sad, your own body is important. Mrs. Qiao loves you brothers and sisters more than her life, and she won't feel good if you suffer."

"If she really loves me so much, how can she bear to leave me behind?"

Qiao Tongxuan had always thought that her parents were in harmony with each other, and they didn't even have a concubine. They were an unparalleled loving couple in the world.

But now, she suddenly discovered that the marriage between her parents, all the beauty, turned out to be an illusion.The truth of the matter is that the interests of the Qiao and Lu families are married.

In order to consolidate this bond of interests, the lingering sick mother had to die early in order to make room for her cousin Lu Shiman as the main house and maintain the relationship between the two surnames.

The father who thought he had a deep affection for his mother was actually a cold-hearted person.And the cousin who is gentle and kind to him has such shameful thoughts.

She used to like Lu Shiman so much, but when her mother was seriously ill, she secretly communicated and flirted with her father.

Some of the above were witnessed by Qiao Tongxuan, some were guessed by her, and some were specially told to her by her elder brother Qiao Shijie.All this confirmed the quarrel between her parents that she heard before the new year.

The once proud happy family suddenly became a drama full of lies and deceit.All of this made Qiao Tongxuan unacceptable, and quickly became haggard.

Fang Jinshu hugged her distressedly, and said softly, "Sister Xuan, if it's possible, your mother definitely doesn't want to abandon you."

"You have to be strong." Looking into her eyes, Fang Jinshu said slowly but firmly, "Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, your self-pity will only hurt the people who love you."

"Such as me and sister Qing, such as your mother and elder brother."

In the road of life, there are some ups and downs that you have to go through before you can mature.Fang Jinshu didn't want to see Qiao Tongxuan's bright and chivalrous temperament, because of this incident, she became a narrow-minded and resentful woman.

"Sister Shu is right." Wu Wanqing comforted her and said, "You can't make us worry like this. Mrs. Qiao is not in good health, you should cheer up so that she can feel at ease."

"Wouldn't she be more anxious seeing you like this? It's not good for her condition."

Qiao Tongxuan wiped away her tears, and said stubbornly: "She has already wanted to die, what about my daughter, how can she take it to heart." Although she said this, she still couldn't help but believe in the sisters' love. persuade.

"Sister Xuan, don't say that." Fang Jinshu said seriously, "If your mother hadn't been so concerned about you, how could she have paved the way for you in advance?"

Qiao Tongxuan was stunned for a moment as she thought about the marriage her mother had arranged for Fang Ziquan, tears streaming down her cheeks silently.

With the help of the two of them, Qiao Tongxuan finally cheered up. After eating half a bowl of porridge, she redressed and went to serve her mother.Since my mother's time is short, I should be more filial and not let her worry.

Seeing her change, Mrs. Qiao was very pleased.

Originally, she was already prepared to pave the way for her children even if she was complained by her daughter for a while.Seeing Qiao Tongxuan so sensible at this time, it was both heartbreaking and comforting.

However, Qiao Tongxuan was still unwilling to accept the fact that Lu Shiman was a stepmother, so she had to let her go.

A few days later, the first month came out, the earth returned to spring, and the climate became warmer.

Fang Jinpei's matter has not yet come to fruition, but life must go on.According to the agreement, Si Lansheng invited a matchmaker to Qiao's house to propose Fang Ziquan's marriage to Qiao Tongxuan.

After receiving the news, Mrs. Qiao pulled herself together from her illness, met the matchmaker in person, and agreed to the marriage.

Marrying Qiao Tongxuan to Fang Ziquan was one of Mrs. Qiao's conditions. The Qiao and Lu families had a tacit understanding, and the agreement was very straightforward.

Mrs. Qiao presided over Xiaoding, and the whole talent completely collapsed. Before the sick bed, she took Qiao Tongxuan's hand and said, "Xuan'er, the mother is most worried about you."

"Fortunately, the Fang family can trust you. Your mother-in-law is soft-tempered and not someone who can handle her daughter-in-law. After you are married, you can take care of your in-laws. Brother Quan is a good man. As long as you are filial to your in-laws, he will treat you well." it is good."

"Mother can't see that you are married. Please keep this box well. There are a land deed and a few body deeds in it. When you are old enough, find a chance to go to the house on the land deed. The dowry and money that your mother has saved for you The servants are all there."

Knowing that her mother was explaining her funeral, Qiao Tongxuan cried so much that she couldn't help herself, sobbing, "Mother, I don't want these, I just want you to be well."

"Stupid boy..." Mrs. Qiao stroked the top of her head with trembling hands, and said, "If you want to be well in the future, you won't waste all your hard work for your mother."

"When I grow up in the future, I will always understand that my mother is for your own good."

Qiao Tongxuan burst into tears in her mother's arms.

Mrs. Qiao's embrace was not comfortable. She was so thin that only her bones were left, and she could no longer find her healthy, plump and soft body.I have been in bed for many days, and there is also a lingering smell of medicine on my body, which is not pleasant.

However, for Qiao Tongxuan, this is the warmest embrace in the world.

Standing on the bedside, Qiao Shijie wept silently. He also wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms like his younger sister, seeking the last warmth.But as the eldest son of the Qiao family, he would have to protect his younger sister in the future, so he could only think about it in his mind.

"Georgie." Mrs. Joe called him.

Qiao Shijie hurriedly stepped forward, and replied, "Mother, I'm here."

Mrs. Qiao put his hand on Qiao Tongxuan's back, and said: "From now on, the younger sister will be handed over to you, and you brothers and sisters should support each other. Without your mother, your journey will be very difficult."

"You have to remember that the imperial examination is your only way out. After I pass away, you will go to Songxi Academy to study, away from Qiao's house. When you arrive at the academy, there will naturally be someone who will take care of you."

Her personal maid gave Qiao Shijie an inconspicuous wooden box, and Mrs. Qiao motioned him to open it, saying: "This is for you. In the future, you will meet the person who is obsessed with the other half of Tian Songshi's seal. Just trust him."

Qiao Shijie took the box, and couldn't hold back the tears anymore, rolling down from his eyes.

After talking so much, Mrs. Qiao is also a little tired.Panting heavily, she said, "There is one last thing, you must remember it, remember it!"
