Wei Ziqin looked at her daughter and held her hands as she said, "Actually, it was me who brought your Aunt Wen back."
"When I went out yesterday, I ran into her on the streets. She was being chased and bullied by two evil tyrants from the western district and was in a sorry state," Wei Ziqin explained. "Mother thought that it was uneasy for a girl like her to be by herself. She has a mild personality and doesn't even dare to speak loudly. Plus, she was sobbing and begging for Mother to take her in, so Mother was softhearted and relented."
"Did Mother do something inconsiderate? Qiaoqiao, what happened earlier? Why did you…" '…react so violently?'
Qiao Mu nestled her head in her mother's arms and shook her head. Her voice was muffled as she glumly said, "Mother, it's nothing. I just… don't like outsiders injecting into our family."
