I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

249 Rehabilitation Plan

“I believe that Lady Qin can grasp this sense of propriety. After all, to the imperial court, ores are like grains and salt. They are all controlled materials and not just anyone can have them. If you don’t want to get into trouble, it’s best to stay far away.”

“However, if the amount is very small, it is not that I can’t give it to you within the scope of my authority. It is just that there is no free lunch in the world. Even if I don’t say this, Lady Qin should understand.”

Duanmu Xize knew that Mo Ruyue had a straightforward personality, so he didn’t beat around the bush when he spoke to her. They didn’t even avoid Qing Xi, who was present.

“Father, we are in my house right now, and you still want to bargain with my savior? You’re still planning your own scheme?”

!!

Qing Xi, who had been listening quietly, suddenly flew into a rage. She did not care about Duanmu Xize’s face at all and directly flared up at him in front of Mo Ruyue.

“Qingqing, father was only joking with Lady Qin. If you don’t like it, father won’t say it.”

Although Duanmu Xize had been embarrassed by his daughter in front of an outsider, he did not seem to feel embarrassed at all, nor did he feel angry. Instead, he even coaxed and persuaded her with a pleasant expression. He really had a rare image of a kind father.

However, Mo Ruyue saw a trace of sadness and pain in Qing Xi’s eyes. However, she carefully hid it in the impatience and mania in her eyes, which quickly disappeared completely.

It seemed that there was more than a little misunderstanding between the father and daughter. However, she was not a psychiatrist, and there was no need to get involved in other people’s family affairs. It was enough as long as she could get what she wanted.

In the end, in order not to agitate Qing Xi, Duanmu Xize wisely chose to change the topic. The rest of the conversation revolved around Qing Xi’s health.

Mo Ruyue was not a doctor with a good temper, but she was a very responsible doctor.

She took out a small booklet, which was filled with all kinds of plans and formulas, and even the exact timing was written.

“This is the rehabilitation plan I’ve made according to Qing Xi’s physical condition. If we follow the schedule strictly, we can greatly speed up her recovery.”

Duanmu Xize first took the booklet and flipped through it before handing it to Qing Xi.

She slowly read through the pages as if she could see through every word. Even Duanmu Xize had never seen her so serious.

“Father, please leave first. I have something to say to Lady Qin alone.”

After a long time, Qing Xi’s first words were to send her father away.

“Alright, then I’ll go and settle some official matters first. If you need anything, just let Madam Du know. No matter what it is, I’ll do my best to help you.”

Duanmu Xize knew that his daughter was asking him to leave. In reality, he was already very satisfied that he had stayed by his daughter’s side for so long before being chased away.

If it was in the past, she would even suddenly become irritable when she heard his voice.

In order not to aggravate her illness, he could only choose to reduce the time he spent with her as much as possible. However, this would not be conducive to him getting the appreciation of his in-laws’ family.

He had been worried about how to make his daughter happy and then put in a few good words for her in front of his father-in-law, but now he seemed to have found a good way, but he still needed to confirm it a few times.

After Duanmu Xize left, Mo Ruyue asked her directly, “Qing Xi, what do you want to tell me?”

“Lady Qin, please sit down. I just want to say thank you.”

Qing Xi was usually pampered by Duanmu Xize. At home, she always kept her word and would never lower her head to anyone. Thus, she was not used to speaking in a soft voice.

“I’m just trying my best. If you didn’t cooperate, you wouldn’t have had such a good result.”

Although Mo Ruyue was not arrogant, she was not overly humble either. She just did what she was supposed to do. This made Qing Xi heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she had a better impression of Mo Ruyue.

“Lady Qin, you are a smart person, you can’t see how much my father pampers me. If you can please me, it will make my father look up to you and bring you more benefits that others can’t get. But why don’t you have any plans at all?”

Qing Xi could tell that Mo Ruyue was not playing hard to get. She really intended to do so.

“I earn money with my own abilities. I deserve it no matter how much I earn. Why should I do extra useless work?”

Mo Ruyue asked in return.

“But if you do it, you can easily get more benefits, whether it’s money or convenience. You don’t even have to look at the faces of many people you originally need to look up to. Isn’t that good?”

Qing Xi knew that some people were very proud and arrogant, but people always had a goal in life. Just like Mo Ruyue, didn’t she take such a big risk to perform the operation on her because of the conditions that her father promised her?

“You’re right. Yes, it’s just adding flowers to my brocade. Even if I don’t have it, it won’t make me hungry and cold. So, since it’s dispensable to me, why do I have to force myself to do it? ”

Qing Xi listened to Mo Ruyue’s words seriously. She felt that she seemed to have understood, but she was a little confused when she thought about it. Perhaps she needed to think about it carefully before she could understand.

“Alright, Lady Qin, no matter what my father asks of you, as long as you don’t want to do it, come to me. As long as I step in, my father will definitely not make things difficult for you.”

Qing Xi decided to put Mo Ruyue’s words aside for the time being. Instead, she told her the main reason why she had asked her to stay.

“Alright, I’ll remember your words.”

Mo Ruyue’s response once again confused Qing Xi. She originally thought that according to Mo Ruyue’s previous judgment, she would also reject it. She didn’t expect that she would agree to it so readily.

“Why did you reject the previous proposal, but you agreed to mine?”

Qing Xi knew that she hated to ask many questions like this, but she just couldn’t help but want an answer.

“I saved your life, not your father’s, so I’ll accept your gratitude. Is that hard to understand?”

Although Mo Ruyue had been using a rhetorical tone to answer the questions, Qing Xi did not feel disgusted at all.

She also felt that this was very strange. If it was someone else who dared to speak to her like this, she would definitely ask her father to teach her a lesson.

But toward Mo Ruyue, she just couldn’t be cruel.

Perhaps it was because her care and seriousness toward her was not mixed with any utilitarianism or hypocrisy.

When Mo Ruyue finally left Qing Xi’s room, it was already half an hour later. After Qing Xi said that sentence, they did not talk about the related topic again.
