Chapter 477: 482 Instigating discord2_1

She deliberately spoke slowly, her words carrying between-the-lines meanings.

Lin Xiangwan was no fool and obviously understood that she seemed to be deliberately stirring up conflicts between her and Qin Muchuan. So, she turned to the mistress. "Aunt Xu, what do you mean by this? What do you think Qin Muchuan might think?"

Xu Feng’e didn’t expect her to ask so directly. Wouldn’t this woman, who has been told not to have children, be sad and wonder why her husband doesn’t allow her to have children?

Surprisingly, this woman disregards important matters and questioned her about this irrelevant issue, and even asked her so directly.

Xu Feng’e laughed inexplicably. "How would I know what Qin Muchuan is thinking? He never mentioned anything to me!"

Lin Xiangwan also slowly raised the corner of her mouth, counter-questioning. "So he didn’t tell you anything? I was thinking he had told you something, and you must know something, which prompted you to say those words earlier!"

Xu Feng’e continued to look confused. "How could it be!"

Lin Xiangwan turned serious, patting her chest. "Well, it’s good that he didn’t say anything. Otherwise, I would have been so worried, thinking that Qin Muchuan doesn’t like me and doesn’t want me to give birth to his child. Ah, I don’t know why, the older I get, the more fragile I become, just like fragile glass, can be broken so easily! Aunt Xu, it nearly broke me into tears just now. Please, don’t ask misleading questions if you’re unsure about the answers, okay!"

Grandpa Qin looked at his daughter-in-law with discontent, and grandma Qin’s face was even more serious and disapproving.

Both Qin Yutong and Lin Haoran were especially unhappy, especially young Haoran. He, relying on his young age, had no verbal taboos and would ask whatever he wanted. "Please, could you not speak out of turn in the future, it could influence my parents’ relationship. If their relationship breaks down, and my sister and I don’t have a complete family, we will hate you for the rest of our life, curse you to... die horribly!"

Lin Haoran truly loathed this old woman deep down, his words reflected exactly how he felt, he was not talking aimlessly.

Qin Yutong nodded vigorously, glanced at the wicked grandma. "Yeah, the end of the wicked will be miserable. Your children don’t care about you, neither husband nor wife likes you, you get your comeuppance...

The children’s sarcastic comments made Xu Feng’E’s face turn red and white, she wanted to teach those little brats a lesson.

Great Grandma Qin spoke up. "Well, Lady Feng’E, the words you said earlier really were irresponsible. See, even the children can’t stand it, they know there’s something wrong with those words. As for how Chuanchuan and Xiangwan are getting along, they know that themselves. Please, just stand by and watch. You are, nominally, Chuanchuan’s mother, but you’re still a stepmother, it’s better to avoid any suspicion, right?"

Xu Feng’e gave an awkward laugh. "Right, Mom. You’re right!"

Mr. Qin elder spoke in a lower voice. "Alright, it’s mealtime now. No more talking about irrelevant stuff. Tongtong, Ranran, please eat your meals, even if you hear those lousy remarks, just pretend that you don’t. It’s better for children to not interrupt the adults!"

Tongtong obediently replied. "Yes, Great Grandpa!"

Lin Haoran, being the smart little boy he was, knew that his great-grandfather was protecting him and his sister, so he was even more cooperative. "The chef in the kitchen is really talented, the ribs are so delicious, even better than what mom makes!"

Mentioning this, Lin Xiangwan’s face subtly twisted. This naughty boy, touched on the matter which she was most reluctant to address - she hadn’t yet successfully cooked ribs!

Grandma Qin smiled. "I wonder when will I get a chance to taste Xiangwan’s home cooking!"

Grandpa Qin chuckled as well.

Seeing the two old folks teasing her, Lin Xiangwan’s cheeks turned even redder. She answered in a very soft voice. "Anytime, but today’s meal was so sumptuous, I didn’t get the chance to shine!"

"Hehe..." Grandpa Qin chuckled.

Lin Xiangwan was smiling too, as if she had no other way to pretend that she wasn’t embarrassed!

.........

Upon returning to her room, Xu Feng’e was filled with anger. "That old fool didn’t appreciate the gift I gave him. I spent an entire afternoon in the mall picking it out!"

The maid, standing on the side agreed. "Exactly, she doesn’t appreciate good things!"

"It’s fine if she didn’t try it, but she even had the cheek to offer it to the butler in front of me!" Xu Feng’e’s chest rose and fell with her heavy breaths, she was livid.

"Madam, don’t bother about it. If no matter what you do, she remains unapproachable, then there’s no point in trying to please her!"

"What do you mean I shouldn’t try to win her over? Wouldn’t it diminish my status in this house?" Xu Feng’e unwillingly said. "It’s all that damn girl’s fault!"

"True..."

"I will never let her have a good life, never!"

"Yes!"

The maid lowered her head, not knowing what else to say.

.........

Lin Xiangwan was playing in the yard with the children after dinner, a daily activity that reinforced their bond.

When educating a child, one should not establish oneself as a parent but instead be their friend.

In this way, if the child encounters any issues in school or develops psychological knots while growing up, they can be detected early. Then, as a parent, one can timely address these issues, avoiding any undesirable outcomes.

Present-day children are particularly fragile and timid, making parents worry endlessly.

"Today, a new student came to our class!" Lin Haoran whispered to his mother.

"Oh? A boy or a girl?" Lin Xiangwan feigned interest in asking.

Lin Haoran’s face turned red. "It’s a girl, very pretty!"

"Oh?" Lin Xiangwan, having speculated what her son’s sly glances meant, asked, "Did you greet her?"

Lin Haoran’s face turned even redder, his head hanging down, appearing shy. "Not yet!"

Seeing her son’s state, Xiangwan, as a mother, was quite concerned. "If you really like her, why not greet her?"

"I’m embarrassed!"

"What’s there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Xiangwan asked inquisitively. "She is your new classmate, you could offer her any help she might need. And you could introduce yourself to her and become good friends. Right?"

"But I didn’t... I wanted to!"

Lin Xiangwan felt that children should be bold and not hesitate to act.
