A woman who is tricked by fate and at the mercy of others, her suffering is indescribable. Aunt Qin, the personal maid of Mrs. Xu of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, was forced to become a concubine, and she couldn't even talk about the right to give birth. Originally, her heart was like ashes, but the death of the child in her womb became the pain of her life.
Aunt Qin, formerly known as Qin Pomegranate, was sold to the Yongping Marquis Mansion since she was a child, and won the appreciation of Mrs. Xu because of her intelligence and meticulousness. When Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi was injured and unconscious, Qin Pomegranate was closely cared for. **Later, in order to protect her innocence, Xu Lingyi accepted her as a concubine. However, Qin Shimei did not want to be a concubine, but she was powerless to resist. In order to ensure that she did not give birth to her eldest son, Mrs. Xu asked her to take the decoction of avoiding children.
Although she knew it in her heart, Qin Shiliu still looked forward to having her own child. When Aunt Wen and the Luo family's concubine had children and became the main house respectively, the envy and longing in her heart became stronger and stronger. Finally, she became pregnant, and she was full of joy and prepared everything for the child. However, happiness is always short-lived. After a day of severe pain, the child was stillborn, and it turned out that the medicinal properties of the decoction were too strong, which made her unbearable. Since then, she has never been able to have children of her own.
The death of the child has become the obsession and shackles of Aunt Qin's life. Whenever I dream back at midnight, that scene always lingers; In the heart of the day, the longing for the child is flooded, and over time, it becomes a demon. This pain and helplessness accompanied her through countless days and nights.
Qin Pomegranate's sky seemed to have fallen, and such a blow was too heavy, making her breathless and sad to the point of despair. She blamed the pain she endured on Mrs. Xu and Xu Lingyi. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu, she wouldn't have to become a concubine, she wouldn't have to take the child decoction, and she wouldn't have lost her child and her qualification to be a mother. And Xu Lingyi, as her husband, has never had a trace of affection for her, and his indifference makes her suffer from loneliness.
In order to retaliate, Qin Pomegranate took refuge in the Xu family's sworn enemy, the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and became the internal response of the District family, and informed the Xu family's affairs of all the affairs of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. Qin Shiliu wanted to use the power of the Ou family to bring down the Xu family. Ou Lixing promised that on the day the Xu family fell, he would send her away, give her freedom, and give her an ownerless child to raise.
However, when Xu Lingyi came to her room rarely, she found that she had nothing to say to this so-called husband. Seeing the box of the child's clothes, he persuaded her to put it down. But she said to him: "I can't have children in my life, how can I let go?" ”
Once, Qin Pomegranate also thought about stopping. When Xu Wuye's illegitimate son was ** and raised by Xu Lingyi under her own name, when she saw the poor child, she remembered the child who had been in her womb but was not born. So, she knelt down and begged Luo Shiniang to hand over the child to her own raising. If there is this child, why not let her let go of her hatred? However, Luo Shiniang obviously agreed to her, but let the child be raised under the name of the second lady. Qin Shimei also heard that it was Luo Shiniang who persuaded the second lady to adopt the child. Her hopes were once again dashed because of the Xu family.
For the Xu family, Qin Pomegranate no longer has a trace of nostalgia and hope. When she mistakenly thought that Luo Shiniang was pregnant, she deliberately said in front of Aunt Qiao that pregnant people should not smell the strong fragrance of flowers. This is her last revenge, and it is also a complete disappointment and abandonment of the Xu family.
originally planned to frame Luo Shi Niang's child through Aunt Qiao's hands, but who would have thought that Luo Shi Niang's pregnancy turned out to be fake news. Luo Shi Niang stabbed Xu Lingyi by mistake, she and Aunt Wen were aware of this fact, but they were warned by Xu Lingyi not to disclose it to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu ordered Qin Shiliu and Aunt Wen to be severely punished in an attempt to force them to confess. However, under Qin Pomegranate's ingenious arrangement, the outspoken Aunt Wen took the lead in confessing everything.
Qin Pomegranate seems to be indisputable on the surface, busy taking care of flowers and plants every day, but in fact, she is deeply hidden and full of scheming. She followed Ou Lixing's instructions and tried to drive a wedge between Luo Shiniang and Xu Lingyi. By chance, she found out that the sister that the late Aunt Tong had been looking for turned out to be Amber by Luo Shiniang's side.
Qin Pomegranate used the mouth of Luo Yuanniang's nurse Tao's mother to spread the rumor that Xu Lingyi and Luo Yuanniang were the culprits who forced Aunt Tong to death, thus arousing Amber's resentment. Amber is extremely loyal to Luo Shi Niang, she does not want Luo Shi Niang to continue to stay in the indifferent and affectionate Xu family, it just so happened that she misunderstood that Holly, who grew up with Luo Shi Niang, had a secret love for Xu Lingyi, so she revealed that Holly had a secret possession of Xu Lingyi's belt.
Mrs. Xu was furious and gave Luo Shiniang two choices: either let Holly become a concubine, or sell Holly's hair. Amber took advantage of the deep relationship between Luo Shi Niang and Holly, prompting Luo Shi Niang to leave the Xu family with Holly. All this happened under the secret inducement of Qin Pomegranate, aiming to drive a wedge between Luo Shiniang and Xu Lingyi.
However, Luo Shiniang and Xu Lingyi realized that all this was a trap designed by someone, so they calculated it. When Qin Pomegranate thought that he had succeeded and was about to leave, Xu Lingyi chased after him. Qin Shiliu informed Ou Lixing of this situation, and he led his private soldiers to intercept and kill Xu Lingyi.
However, Xu Lingyi had already prepared, and Ou Lixing's actions not only exposed himself, but also handed over the evidence of the crime of privately stationing soldiers to Xu Lingyi. And Luo Shiniang finally confirmed from Ou Lixing's mouth that he was the one who killed his mother back then. After the failure, in order to avoid implicating the Ou family, Ou Lixing chose to commit suicide.
Marquis Jingyuan was grief-stricken after learning the news of his son's death and vowed to fight the Xu family to the end. Later, he detained his daughter-in-law at home when Qin Shiliu met with Ou Lixing's wife, and he went to meet Qin Shimei. However, Qin Pomegranate, as the internal response of the Ou family, led to the defeat of Marquis Jingyuan.
In the eyes of Marquis Jingyuan, Qin Shimei, a seemingly ordinary woman, actually hides an ulterior secret. Her true identity was revealed, but no one knew about it, which undoubtedly pushed Ou Lixing to a dead end. So, Marquis Jingyuan had a poisonous plan and took the opportunity to poison the wine. After he left, Qin Pomegranate was poisonous, but fortunately, the people sent by Xu Lingyi to protect her found it in time and urgently sent her back to Xu's mansion.
Perhaps knowing that his time was running out, Qin Pomegranate poured out his resentment over the years. She told Mrs. Xu that the bowl of child-avoiding soup had made her incapable of giving birth, that she had lost her child for many years, and that her resentment towards Mrs. Xu had gone deep into her bones. Over the years, she has silently endured loneliness and despair in the corner of Xujiadong's courtyard, has no children, and has lost Xu Lingyi's favor. When she proposed to ***, she was rejected by Xu Lingyi, and on the grounds that the status of the second lady was more suitable, she was forcibly deprived of her qualifications as a mother.
However, the tragic fate of Qin Pomegranate was not self-inflicted. When Mrs. Xu heard of her pain, she felt deeply guilty and sincerely apologized to her. She admitted that she had always had a good impression of Qin Pomegranate and specially arranged for her to become Xu Lingyi's concubine. At the beginning, she was not allowed to give birth to her eldest son, but also out of concern for her, afraid that entering the main room in the future would cause her trouble. Unfortunately, things turned out unexpectedly.
Faced with Mrs. Xu's apology, Qin Shimei did not appreciate it at first. At the moment of her death, why bother to be pretentious? However, when Mrs. Xu expressed her love and concern all the time, and apologized for everything she had done, Qin Shimei's heart couldn't help but be moved. And Xu Lingyi's apology made Qin Shimei cry bitterly, she finally waited for this belated sorry.
Qin Pomegranate fell into Xu Lingyi's arms, and she understood that her fate was self-inflicted. Despite this, she did not intend to forgive the people of the Xu family. In this life, the two do not owe each other. In "Jinxin Like Jade", Aunt Qin is the ultimate boss who is the most hidden. She walked between the Xu Mansion and the District Government with a quiet and gentle appearance, secretly plotting a conspiracy to destroy the Xu Mansion and venting the resentment in her heart. If she hadn't gone through the pain of losing her son and not being able to become a mother, maybe her life would have been completely different.
So, would the ending be different? She knew in her heart that Luo Shi Niang was a different person. On her deathbed, with endless remorse, she failed to reveal the truth of her mother's death to Luo Shiniang as soon as possible. She has always understood that although Xu Lingyi has no feelings for her, she is a broad-minded person. However, hatred blinded her, and those pains and loneliness needed an outlet for catharsis.
In her short life, she chose the wrong way to spend it. We can't choose where we come from and what we do, but we should strive to create a better future for ourselves. Qin Pomegranate's mistake was that she used the most inappropriate method to change her fate.
She doesn't ask for much, she just hopes that she can be reincarnated into an ordinary family in the next life, live a simple life, be a mother, raise her own children, and enjoy ordinary happiness and satisfaction.
