Watching Song Qin walk away, Xia Yue sighed in resignation, glancing towards Xia Xi. "I guess there will be another scene after the banquet."
"Why does she treat us so differently from how she treats Xia Qing?" Xia Xi couldn't understand. They were all her biological daughters. The difference was so stark that it was as if she were an adopted child.
"Xia Qing was a child she eagerly awaited, while she initially just wanted two kids. You came third, and your birth was coupled with severe bleeding which nearly cost her life. So, she dislikes this third child."
"She'd meticulously plan everything for Xia Qing to make her happy and satisfied. She'd give her anything she wanted."
"As for the third child, it was enough not to starve or freeze," Xia Yue replied with a smile.
"Oh, never mind. I don't think we could get along well anyway. It's better this way." Xia Xi nodded, reflecting on their few interactions and the stark difference in lifestyle. She felt this was better.
