Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 464

Since that day, Qin Sui became like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and would not speak unless she could.

If Grandma Qiao didn't call her to eat, she would not eat or even drink water.

I will just gradually increase my piano playing from the morning to the afternoon.

Grandma Qiao didn't understand the music of the piano, but she could feel the resentment in Qin Su's heart. Thinking of how much she missed her family, she let Qin Su do what she wanted. As long as she didn't make a noise or leave, it was fine.

After Du Ziren left, he never came back. The people guarding Qin Su reported that she played the piano every day to kill time. Although he was curious and wanted to come and listen, he was delayed by other things and could not go forward.

Qin Sui had already forgotten how many days she had been trapped, and her melancholy gradually turned into helplessness and numbness.

She even thought that death would be the worst that could happen. Maybe, after death, she could go back to the past. Of course, it could also be the end of everything.

Of course, if it is not absolutely necessary, who can easily give up life and everything they have?

One afternoon, Qin Su was playing the piano again. Suddenly, a stone fell from outside into the grass on the ground. The sound startled Qin Su.

She was about to get up to pick it up when she saw Grandma Qiao coming over. Qin Sui was still playing the piano and her face was indifferent, as usual, ignoring Grandma Qiao.

Grandma Qiao put down the teacup, stood for a while, suddenly sighed, opened her mouth to say something, but was held back by Qin Sui's cold attitude.

Thinking back to the first two or three days after Qin Shi arrived, she treated Grandma Qiao very well. She spoke to her in a soft voice every day, helped pick vegetables and do some housework within her ability. Grandma Qiao was very happy.

If a person stays alone for a long time, he will either go crazy or become too lonely.

Grandma Qiao thought she never needed company, but she found that as people get older, their mentality changes.

Afterwards, Grandma Qiao looked around and didn't find anything wrong, but her intuition came from decades of experience and natural sharpness, so she was still worried, so she pretended to be nonchalant and took the broom under the eaves to sweep up the fallen leaves.

Qin Sui's hands trembled slightly, and the sound of the piano changed.

Grandma Qiao didn't understand, but after listening for a few days, she could tell Qin Su's emotions. Even though she was extremely angry, the sound of her piano was steady.

Her hands did not stop, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Sui. There was no sign of old age or kindness in these eyes. Instead, they were like a bottomless black pool that was hard to see clearly, let alone understand.

Qin Sui is a person who has been reborn. She has experienced a lot and met countless people. Not to mention the young prince, she can even look the Ninth Prince and General Huo Jianguang in the eye without any fear.

But in front of this clever old lady, she lost her composure. After staring at her for a few seconds, she suddenly turned her head away.

The music came to an abrupt end, and Qin Sui placed her hands on the strings to stop the lingering sound.

Her heart began to pound. Qin Sui closed her eyes, then opened them again. The panic in her eyes disappeared, and she looked up at Grandma Qiao.

Grandma Qiao didn't even move her eyelids, still staring at Qin Sui, as if she was staring at not a person, but a prey.

If she saw correctly, Qin Sui even saw that she was vaguely excited.

Qin Sui's heart was filled with alarm bells: What was this old woman so excited about? Was she expecting something?

"Grandma Qiao, I want to drink the tea you had yesterday. Let's remove this tea today!" Qin Cui ordered like a master.

Grandma Qiao raised her sparse eyebrows, and after a long while she smiled and said, "Just follow Madam's instructions. I'll go make tea for you right away." She came over, bent down and picked up the tea tray. Her eyes paused for a moment on Qin Sui's hand that was still pressing on the strings of the zither, and then she said, "Madam, what's wrong with your fingers?"

Qin Sui looked down upon hearing this, and indeed saw a little red on the tip of her left index finger.

In fact, it was not obvious. It was just that a piece of nail was broken, revealing some tender flesh. Qin Cui did not notice it just now, but now she felt a slight pain from her fingertips.

"It's nothing. Compared to being trapped here, this injury is insignificant. Of course, I still need to trouble Grandma Qiao to send me some medicine powder to apply."

Grandma Qiao picked up the tea tray and stood up, looking around as she walked, and indeed she didn't find any problems.

Qin Sui had discovered one thing a long time ago. Perhaps Du Ziren had specifically instructed her to do so, so Grandma Qiao still respected her. As long as Qin Sui didn't go out, she would do whatever she wanted with the rest of the matters.

As soon as Grandma Qiao left, Qin Sui ran over to pick up the stone, regardless of whether she would be discovered by Grandma Qiao.

Most of the tension just now came from this stone. Qin Sui thought that the stone must be wrapped with something, or had something written on it, but now it seems that it is just an ordinary stone, nothing unusual about it.

But who could throw stones into someone else's yard for no reason?
If it was Xiao Chenyu, wouldn't he ask loudly to make sure it was him?
Qin Sui turned the stone in her hand back and forth. After thinking for a while without any clue, she threw the stone away casually. This time the stone hit the stone floor with a crisp sound.

Suddenly, long-lost memories flooded into my mind.

When Qin Shi was a child, she often played the piano in the yard, while her teacher would sit under a big tree or under the eaves with his eyes closed to rest. However, if Qin Shi made a mistake or was distracted, her teacher would definitely open his eyes or close them to scold her.

Now that I think about it, my teacher was actually quite strict with me.

At that time, Xiao Hanyang lived next door and always liked to pick up stones from next door and throw them over. One time, a stone hit Qin Su on the head. The sharp stone broke Qin Su's head and a lot of blood flowed.

Su was scared to death and cried to find Xiao Hanyang to ask for accountability, but was stopped by Qin Sui, who said that he did not do it on purpose.

Naturally, Qin Sui was also angry at Xiao Hanyang's recklessness and planned to ignore him. As a result, Xiao Hanyang knew he was in the wrong and disappeared for several days.

As time went by, Qin Sui began to miss her only friend, so she composed a comforting song and played it for Xiao Hanyang who lived next door.

When the song ended, Xiao Hanyang threw something over from next door again. This time it was a small round stone. Even if it hit someone, it would not hurt, let alone cause any injury.

There is also a little man begging for mercy and bowing drawn on it with a brush, which is quite funny.

Qin Cui expressed her feelings through music, and the other party would respond with flute music.

The love between the boy and girl was quietly born in the rhythm of music day after day, but ultimately it could not withstand the torture of reality, and the two were not destined to be together.

Qin Cui walked back, bent down and picked up the stone. She then discovered that the stone was round and had traces of polished edges. Because it was very rough, she had not noticed it just now.

When Grandma Qiao came over again, Qin Sui started playing the piano again.

Grandma Qiao put down the tea tray, which contained new tea and medicine bottles.

"This song is quite lively. It seems that Madam is in a good mood!" Grandma Qiao said with a faint smile, clasping her arms.

Qin Sui would no longer think that her smile was flattering and kind. It was obviously a fake smile, but it was just too profound.
