Chapter 317 A Different Story
"I just heard some stories about you from Young Master Qin, so I wanted to get to know you."
"If I marry the eldest son in the future, I will be your elder sister-in-law, and it is my duty to care about my younger brother."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curved up a little.
But Qin Mo's expression did not ease, and he even looked a little surprised.
"What did you hear from Qin Yi?"
"It's just some stories about your past. For example, Young Master Qin said that there was something wrong with your legs."
As he spoke, Gu Chaoxi's gaze shifted slightly downwards.
She couldn't actually see what was happening below through the table, but she could still feel that Qin Mo had just moved his feet back.
After a while, Qin Mo raised his eyes and looked over.
His voice was very soft: "What did he tell you?"
"Were we sent to a farm in the countryside? Was I thrown into the mountains by someone in revenge, and that's why I broke my leg?"
He seemed to know what kind of story Qin Yi told Gu Chaoxi. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his aura became a little agitated.
Qin Mo tightened his hands on the table and sighed deeply.
"Miss Shen, would you like to listen to my story?"
His voice was light and a little disembodied.
Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything, just waited quietly, and then Qin Mo slowly spoke.
When the Qin family became prosperous in their early years, they only had one lady and one concubine.
This lady is naturally Qin Yi's mother, and the concubine is Qin Mo's biological mother.
However, that lady was not Mr. Qin's true sweetheart. Instead, the concubine was Mr. Qin's sweetheart.
That’s the story about the older generation.
When Master Qin was still a young master, he and Qin Mo's mother, Aunt Liu, fell in love with each other and were in love with each other.
However, Aunt Liu’s family is very ordinary. She is just the daughter of an inconspicuous breakfast shop on the street.
Such an identity was definitely not worthy of the young master of the Qin family at that time.
So Mr. Qin had no choice but to marry Qin Yi's mother, a woman from a high-class family who was a good match for him at that time.
Qin Yi's mother did have some tricks.
Before she married Mr. Qin, she knew that he had someone he liked, but she said nothing and just did her job well.
Since she couldn't be faulted, Mr. Qin naturally had no way of saying anything to her.
This went on for two months before Master Qin married Concubine Liu.
According to the rules, it is best for the wife to give birth to children first, followed by the concubine.
Qin Yi's mother did nothing wrong, so Mr. Qin naturally treated her with respect.
Besides, having three wives and four concubines was common in this era, so Qin Yi's mother became pregnant with him soon.
Half a year later, Aunt Liu became pregnant with Qin Mo.
In fact, everything was normal at the beginning, until Aunt Liu gave birth, when problems arose.
Probably because of the injuries she suffered during childbirth, not long after Qin Mo was born, Aunt Liu fell ill and has been bedridden ever since.
When Qin Mo was three months old, Aunt Liu could not hold on and passed away.
Mr. Qin is a loyal man. After concubine Liu passed away, there have been no other concubines in the mansion, leaving only one main wife.
When Qin Mo was a child, he actually had a pretty good impression of Mrs. Qin.
But later, when Qin Mo went out to play, he met Aunt Liu's biological father and was recognized.
Qin Mo heard some things from Old Man Liu that he had no idea how to accept.
Aunt Liu's death was not due to childbirth, but was caused by someone who took advantage of her situation and poisoned her.
At that time, the entire Qin Mansion was managed by the main wife, and except for her, no one had the opportunity to take action against Concubine Liu.
Even though Old Man Liu knew that his daughter died unjustly, there was nothing he could do.
He didn't dare to ask Master Qin for an explanation, even though Master Qin was capable of being the head of the family. Without evidence, Madam Qin was still Madam Qin.
If Mrs. Qin treated Qin Mo badly in the future because of what he did, it would also hurt Old Man Liu's heart.
So after Old Man Liu found out that Qin Mo knew about this, he begged him to pretend he knew nothing about it. Only in this way could he grow up safely.
Even though Qin Mo felt more shocked and angry, he could do nothing about it.
He was only five or six years old at that time and knew nothing.
Mrs. Qin is his mother, who is in charge of the food, clothing and expenses of the entire Qin family.
If he wants to grow up well, he must pretend that he knows nothing.
After all, when Madam Qin killed Aunt Liu, Qin Mo was just a baby and he knew nothing.
After returning that day, Qin Mo changed.
He liked to go against Qin Yi more and more. Whatever good Qin Yi had, he hoped to be better than him.
Unfortunately, mothers always treat their children differently.
Although Mrs. Qin did not abuse Qin Mo, she did not care about him that much either. Everything depended on Qin Mo's own efforts.
Until later, something happened to the Qin family and they had to send their two children to a farm in the countryside.
There was no one in the country village who could protect Qin Yi, so Qin Mo often went against him.
But how could Qin Yi, a legitimate son who was personally taught by Madam Qin, be a person who knew nothing?
He naturally knew that Qin Mo's hostility towards him came from his mother, so he used some tricks to make the country children like Qin Mo less.
Even later, Qin Mo was thrown on the mountain with Qin Yi's tacit consent.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Qin family at that time, which child would dare to offend them?
But Qin Yi also makes mistakes sometimes. His original intention was just to make Qin Mo remember this lesson, but he didn't expect that what happened that night.
When the children realized they hadn't seen Qin Mo for several days, they finally panicked.
They spontaneously went to the mountain to look for Qin Mo, only to find that he had fallen into a hunter's pit.
The hunter who built the hunting pit had moved away a month ago.
That's why no one has checked it out.
At that time, Qin Mo had been in that pit for seven days.
His legs were completely unable to move, and he could only survive by eating raw wild boar meat.
When he was found, he was lying in a miserable state on one side of the pit, with one leg curled up and the other leg stuck in a bamboo.
Beneath his body was a pool of dried blood, some of his own and some of the wild boar's.
After the group of children rescued him, they sent him to the most famous doctor in the area.
But it had been delayed too long, and even though the doctor was very skilled in that area, he was still unable to fully restore Qin Mo's legs.
Out of guilt, the group of children told Qin Mo the truth.
It was then that Qin Mo realized that the person he had always hated actually disliked him just as much.
But there is no evidence to prove that Qin Yi was the mastermind behind all this.
Qin Mo chose to swallow his anger.
