After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 158 Love is the least worth mentioning in a large mansion, do you understand?

On the second day of living in the Qiao Mansion, after breakfast, Qiao Rongjin was dragged by Qiao's mother to her room.

Today, the Qiao Mansion has returned to its former appearance. Some go to school, some go to court, some are on duty, and even Qi You and the other kids go to Zhixing Hall to start their classes with Mr. Liu after breakfast. The eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang, is pregnant and easily sleepy, so she doesn't do anything. She only occasionally sews clothes for her unborn child. The second daughter-in-law, Liu, manages the household affairs, and the third daughter-in-law is also busy looking at the revenue accounts of the shops under her name.

The most idle people in the entire Qiao Mansion nowadays are Qiao's mother, Qiao Rongjin, and the eldest sister-in-law Jiang. Jiang usually stays in her own yard.

In Qiao's mother's room, the mother and daughter were talking and laughing, talking about Qiao Rongjin's interesting past. Fortunately, Qiao Rongjin still remembered it, otherwise it would have been exposed. Qiao's mother really loved this daughter.

"My daughter, has anyone bullied you in the palace? I'm talking about everyone except Prince Rui." When she said the last sentence, Qiao's mother's eyes turned red.

Wasn't it Prince Rui who bullied her daughter the most? Thinking of this, Mother Qiao hated Prince Rui even more, but she also knew that she had thought of this day since her daughter entered the palace, but she still couldn't help wanting to know if her daughter was bullied by others in the palace.

She endured it all day yesterday, thought about it for a long time last night, and couldn't help but ask today.

She knew that her daughter loved Prince Rui to the point of madness, and that her love for him was too deep to last long, so she still wanted to remind her daughter. Her daughter's personality had changed so much in these years in the palace, and it must be because of the things that happened in the backyard that made her grow up.

Qiao Rongjin was stunned when she heard this. Then she looked at her mother's worried expression and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. Your daughter is a person of character. She won't suffer any loss. I'm not made of clay. How can I let others bully me without fighting back? Don't worry."

"But... forget it. If someone bullies you, you must come back and tell me. I will find a way to avenge you. If I can't do anything, your father and your brothers and sisters-in-law are still here. The girls of the Qiao family cannot be bullied. We cannot let people think that we are easy to bully."

"Well, I know, mother. Your daughter is not a soft-hearted person. Don't you know that?" Qiao Rongjin smiled and patted Qiao's mother's hand to comfort her.

The original owner's personality was indeed not the kind of person who would allow herself to be bullied. She was the kind of person who would take revenge for any slight. In this respect, she was very similar to Qiao Rongjin.

Obviously, Qiao's mother also understood her daughter. Although her daughter had been a little spoiled in the past, she was not stupid. However, when she thought of Prince Rui, Qiao Mu was still worried. With a trembling mouth, she still wanted to persuade her daughter, "My daughter, I am not too worried about these. I am worried about other things."

Something else?

Qiao Rongjin looked at Qiao's mother in confusion, not understanding.

Seeing her daughter like this, Qiao's mother sighed in her heart and could only say, "My daughter, I know you care about Prince Rui very much, but you have to think about yourself and You'er. There are some things you have to fight for, and some things you don't have to fight for. If you want to live well in the deep mansion, you have to be hard-hearted and guard your feelings. I don't want you to go into a dead end."

After hearing this, Qiao Rongjin finally understood what she was worried about. To be honest, Qiao's mother's words were quite sober. However, why did she feel so touched?

"Mom, why are you so deeply touched? Could it be that Dad..." Qiao Rongjin couldn't help but guess whether his father had done something. After all, Qiao's father had always had deep feelings for Qiao's mother, and he had only had Qiao's mother in his life. Because of the influence of her parents, her brothers also only had one woman, and never had any concubines, let alone mistresses.

Hearing this, Qiao's mother laughed and said, "You think too much. How could your father dare to do that? It's just that mother has seen a lot, so I feel that people like your father and brother are rare. There are many heartless men in this world. No, don't interrupt me. You must remember what mother said just now. If you want to live a good life, you have to give up some things. No one is more important than you and You'er. Love is the most insignificant thing in a large mansion. Do you understand?" Qiao's mother was afraid that her daughter would not take it seriously, so she had to say it again.

After hearing this, Qiao Rongjin really liked her mother's character. She put her arm around her mother's arm and looked at the scenery in the courtyard with a distant and indifferent look. "Mom, don't worry. I am no longer the same as before. Now in the palace, I only care about You'er. I will let go of some things after hitting the wall."

Thinking about why the original owner died, Qiao Rongjin's expression became more indifferent.

The original owner was pitiful, tragic and hateful, but Prince Rui was not a good guy either. As Qiao's mother said, it was really foolish to expect love in such a large mansion!

Seeing her daughter like this, Qiao's mother's eyes suddenly became wet.

How much suffering has my daughter endured in the past few years? Otherwise, how could she become like this? She is so indifferent even when Prince Rui is mentioned. There is no affection in her eyes. She knew how passionate and admiring her daughter's eyes were whenever she mentioned Prince Rui, but now...

I guess what happened to You'er this time made my daughter even more heartbroken, so she was so disappointed with King Rui.

Coming back to his senses, Qiao Rongjin was a little caught off guard when he saw that Qiao's mother was crying. "Mom, why are you crying? Don't worry about me. Now that I have come to my senses, the things you worry about will not happen."

Mother Qiao nodded, "Okay, daughter, I understand." As long as her daughter doesn't dwell on it, the situation will at least be half better. After all, jealousy makes people crazy and makes them do irrational things. Now it seems that her daughter has really let it go.

After calming down, Qiao's mother began to ask again, "My daughter, you have been in the palace for so many years, why don't you think about having another child? It would be too weak for You'er to be alone. It would be easier to have a brother or sister to take care of him in the future."

When Qiao Rongjin heard this, she knew that Qiao's mother definitely didn't know that it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

However, she still told Qiao's mother about her situation and plans.

Seeing that her daughter looked unwell, Qiao's mother was startled and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Mom, when I gave birth to You'er, I had heavy bleeding, and the doctor said it would be difficult for me to get pregnant in the future..."

"Are you sure? Mom will ask the doctor to come and check you out!" Qiao's mother was so scared that she stood up quickly without waiting for Qiao Rongjin to finish his words.

It is such a terrible thing that it is difficult for a woman to get pregnant again. This is like a bolt from the blue for a woman. Qiao's mother burst into tears out of heartache.

Qiao Rongjin quickly pulled Qiao's mother to sit down, "Mom, please listen to me. This is true, but it is exactly what I want."

"Mother, please ask a doctor to come and check you out. Don't worry, they are all trustworthy and will not leak the news. Mother promises."

Qiao Rongjin was helpless, "Mom, no, the doctor won't make a wrong diagnosis. It's enough for me to have only one child, You'er, in my life. If this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have wanted another child."
