5267 Chapter 5267, hesitation

Qing yuande took the bowl of Medicine Qing si handed to him and immediately drank it.

Qing si glanced at the books on the table and her eyes dimmed. She said, “Father, your health is not good. Don’t waste your energy reading these books.”

Qing yuande shook his head. “Da Fang is pressing me step by step. Only by developing a puppet that can attack autonomously can I make your great-grandfather take back his orders.”

Qing si smiled bitterly in her heart. Even if her father could develop a puppet that could attack on its own, it would be impossible for her great-grandfather to change his mind. This was because her great-grandfather had clearly been restrained by the second branch.

However, Qing si did not say what she was thinking.

In fact, she knew that Qing yuande might know this, but he was just deceiving himself.

Now that da Fang was silly, crippled, and the number of people dwindling, if he didn’t have any more thoughts, Qing yuande might not be able to hold on anymore.

Therefore, Qing si nodded and said, “What father said makes sense. Then you should continue reading. Just don’t be too tired.”

Qing yuande nodded. After Qing si left, he slumped on the chair in a somewhat dejected manner. If it was possible, he would rather Qing si never return to the Qing family.

When he thought of what his daughter would face, Qing Yuande’s eyes could not help but be filled with anger. Even if he died, he would not let his daughter be manipulated by his second wife.

Qing yuande put away the books that he had placed on the table and picked up another book. It was a formation book..

After Qing si came out of Qing Yuande’s study, she went straight to the backyard.

A few women were washing clothes. Qing Si and Ren Dong quickly went over to help.

Qing si’s mother, zheng shi, quickly said, “Nan Nan, there’s no need for you here. Go back to your room and rest!”

Qing si smiled and said, “Mother, I’m not tired. Hurry up and finish washing these clothes so that you can rest earlier.”

Zheng Shi sighed and did not say anything else, at this moment, one of the women said hatefully, “Second concubine is really going too far! We were originally the masters of the Qing family, but now we’re forced to do laundry. This is clearly humiliating us.”

The other woman said, “Second sister-in-law, what’s the point of saying all this now? Let’s hurry up and wash. If we can’t finish it, Yuan Han and the others won’t have any medicine left.”

The two people who spoke were Qing si’s second aunt, Li, and third aunt, he. The Qing Yuan Han mentioned was the son of He.

Second branch held the prescriptions of Qing Si’s two uncles, three brothers, and two cousins, forcing the women of the eldest branch to finish laundry every day.

Although the prescriptions of the second branch could not cure them, it could slightly ease their pain.

Li Shi said mysteriously, “I heard that someone from the LAN family came. Sister-in-law, doesn’t your family have some indirect relationship with the Lan Family? Why Don’t you go and ask the ancestor of the Lan Family? Maybe it can help us escape from the sea of bitterness.”

Zheng Shi said with a bitter smile, “Let’s not talk about the fact that my family and the Lan family are unrelated relatives. Even if they are legitimate relatives, the LAN family might not offend the second branch because of this. After all, the Qing family will belong to the second branch in the future.”

Li Shi said unhappily, “Who cares if he can do it or not? Let’s give it a try. Otherwise, Qing si will…”

When she saw Zheng Shi’s pale face, she hurriedly tugged at Li Shi’s sleeve. Li Shi was embarrassed and stopped talking.

Zheng Shi stood up abruptly and said to Qing si, “Nan Nan, mother will go in and change her clothes. After that, we will go to the guest house to visit the Lan family’s ancestor.”
