AWB Chapter 62 Why Not Tell Mother
Chapter 62 Why Not Tell Mother
Xie Yanli looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him and couldn't help but recall the bowl of medicine he had seen that morning.
On their wedding night, he told Qin Jiuwei that he would not touch her.
He worried that once Qin Jiuwei had her own child, she wouldn't care as much about the three children.
Now that she's taking contraceptives voluntarily, shouldn't she feel that it's convenient for her?
Why is he so angry...?
-
"Say it again, did you personally see Young Master Chun walk into that casino?"
The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "Yes, I did see Young Master Chun walk in with my own eyes."
“I followed behind Young Master Chun the whole way, but he didn’t notice me.”
After he finished speaking, he paused, "However, Young Master Chun did not enter through the main entrance of the casino, but through the back entrance."
Qin Jiuwei frowned deeply, "The back door?"
Why did Xie Jingchun go through the back door? If he wanted to gamble, shouldn't he have gone through the front door directly?
As Qin Jiuwei pondered, she suddenly felt someone tugging at her sleeve. Looking down, she met Xie Jue's large, watery eyes.
He raised his fair little face and asked curiously, "Mother, what is a casino? Are there delicious foods and fun things to do inside?"
He exclaimed excitedly, "Hehe, then I want to go to the casino too!"
Qin Jiuwei: ……
I was so preoccupied with my worries that I almost forgot about this little rascal.
She looked up and glanced at Granny Zhao.
Granny Zhao immediately understood and stepped forward to Xie Jue, saying gently, "Young Master Jue, shall we go play in the street?"
Xie Jue was young, and her attention was quickly diverted. She followed Granny Zhao out.
Qin Jiuwei pursed her lips, intending to investigate this matter thoroughly.
She immediately stood up from her chair, turned to look at the servant who had led the way, and spoke in a clear but authoritative voice.
"You lead the way, I want to see it for myself!"
Qin Jiuwei had never had a child in her previous life, and only now does she realize how much care and worry it takes to raise a child.
Before long, the group arrived at the back door of the gambling den.
This place is completely secluded, unlike the hustle and bustle of Qianmen. The weeds in the corner tremble in the breeze.
The accompanying nanny, Song, glanced at the servant, who immediately understood and walked over to knock lightly on the door a few times.
The knocking sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet back alley.
With a creak, the back door opened.
A raggedly dressed servant peeked out, wanting to see who was knocking on the door.
Before he could react, Qin Jiuwei led her men and rushed in.
The backyard of the gambling den was a mess, with clutter piled up in one corner and emitting a pungent smell.
Qin Jiuwei's skirt was stained with water from the ground, and her delicate embroidered shoes were covered in mud, but she didn't care at all.
After navigating several corridors and passing through a small, overgrown courtyard, she stopped in front of a dilapidated woodshed.
The door to the woodshed was ajar, and faint sobs could be heard coming from inside.
Qin Jiuwei hurriedly pushed open the door and saw Xie Jingchun squatting in the corner of the dimly lit woodshed, next to a little girl who looked to be about nine years old.
The little girl was dressed in rags, her old clothes were covered in dirt, and she was covered in injuries.
The wounds were shocking, some new and some old, as if they had been whipped or cut by a sharp object. The wounds were still bleeding, and the little girl's face was dirty.
Xie Jingchun was holding a white handkerchief and wiping her wound.
The door was suddenly opened, and Xie Jingchun's eyes widened when he saw Qin Jiuwei.
"Mother, you... why are you here?"
Xie Jingchun pursed his lips, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, and slowly began to explain.
"This little girl's name is Nan Nan, and I want to help her..."
“That day I passed by the clinic and saw her kneeling in front of the clinic begging for medicine. She was covered in injuries and looked very pitiful.”
"Nan Nan told me that her mother had passed away, and that her father had sold her to work in some kind of workshop..."
"Are you trying to say gambling dens?" Qin Jiuwei asked.
Xie Jingchun's eyes lit up. "Mother, how did you know? It's this gambling den!"
"Nan Nan brought me here. She said this is where she lives. Whenever I have free time, I come to bring her food and medicine to help her as much as I can."
Xie Jingchun said solemnly, "Mother, I did nothing wrong."
Qin Jiuwei nodded.
Indeed, who would have thought you came to the casino for this reason?
Immediately afterwards, Qin Jiuwei's gaze fell on the little girl.
She huddled in the corner, her limbs as thin as hemp stalks, her arms and legs almost devoid of flesh, her skin clinging tightly to her bones, her small face so thin it was nearly sunken.
If this child's mother knew, how heartbroken she would be...
Xie Jingchun is also kind-hearted and a truly good child.
They are willing to put in so much effort to help one person.
"Then why didn't you tell your mother?" Qin Jiuwei turned to Xie Jingchun and asked.
