Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Qian Lai was scared by her father's loud roar. It was not that she was not trying hard enough. It was because her father did not give her a chance to rest, the night before the competition he forced her to stay awake till the morning and only let her sleep a few hours before waking her up at dawn.

He told her that learning in the morning would help her remember the content better. Qian Lai did remember the content but she was too tired to even write the content properly which caused her marks to be lowered.

Qian Lai tried to explain the matter to her father but he was so angry that he did not hear a thing that she said and only felt like she was blaming him which led to another round of scolding.

" Daddy, I told you... it's because you did not let me sleep! I .. I could have won but I was too tired," Qian Lai replied with a hint of grievance in her voice, she hated her little sister. Her daddy was so good to her but after her little sister went far away, it was her who had to be beaten and scolded. Why did her little sister have to leave?

If she stayed her daddy would love her.

Now he always compared her with the children of the second and third branches.

" You are good! I am doing this all for your own well-being and now you are blaming me? You really are the good daughter of your mother!" Yuan Jiuqi said angrily. " You always make excuses but I have never seen you work hard. If you had worked half as hard in your studies as you do while making excuses, you would have been the one who would have received all the praise! This is good now!

In the past, it was those brats daddies who pressed and stepped on my head and now those brats are stepping on my head as well. If only my other daughter was alive then I would have at least taught her better since you are no good!"

Qian Lai had been listening to such things for months. It had been about a year and a half ever since she started listening to such things, in the past, Qian Lai had been polite and tried to understand her father but now she could no longer withstand his scolding.

She flailed and then asked her mother to put her down before glaring at her daddy as she shouted, " I hate daddy and I hate sister too! I haven't done anything wrong but you scold me every day! If you want to stay with sister then go and bring her back home! You can leave me where sister went! I don't want to stay here!"

Then without waiting for either of her parents to say anything, she turned on her tiny feet and then ran inside the house while crying.

" Stop! How dare you! How dare you say such a thing? Your sister suffered so much when she was alive and you are still not leaving her?" Yuan Jiuqi immediately shouted after his daughter however Qian Lai did not listen to him and ran away.

She was fed up already. If not for her being too small, Qian Lai wanted to run away from her home.

Mother Qian looked at her husband who was screaming at her daughter and then said, " Jiuqi, I beg you. I know that the death of our daughter is a knot in your heart but stop taking it out on our daughter. If you keep doing this then she will really stop listening to you and her heart will go cold. Are you really going to push your daughter to an edge?"

" I am pushing her to an edge? Isn't it because those mer concubines of yours make fun of me every day saying that I could not protect my daughter that I cannot teach the one who made it out alive? If you want me to stop then who will stop them?" Yuan Jiuqi did not think that he was in the wrong. He scolded his wife right away before snatching the vegetables that she had brought.

He glanced at the vegetables that were bought by his wife and sneered, " You only know how to waste money all the time. You either waste it by buying these useless things or you hand it over to those messy goblins. The last time you visited the second branch you brought that bastard a silver hairpin and I got a bunch of vegetables. Very well!"

Madam Qian did not lose her patience with her husband as she knew this was what she was at fault. When she was young she had promised her husband that she would only marry him but with the rage of youth, her promises went down the drain as well.

After marrying Yuan Jiuqi she brought a bunch of mers back home as her mer concubines and when Yuan Jiuqi made a fuss, her father suppressed him by the heavenly law which allowed a man to have as many wives as he wanted and similar to a man, a woman who chose to marry a mer was allowed to marry as many mers as possible.

In the past, Yuan Jiuqi was at least cordial with the other mer concubines but ——

It was during this time that she married the mer who poisoned her daughter causing Yuan Jiuqi to be eternally dissatisfied with her.

Thus, even though Yuan Jiuqi sometimes went over the board Madam Qian did not dare to flare up at him as she was not only worried about him going crazy but also because she knew that if she made Yuan Jiuqi angry then her daughter would suffer as well. Discover more content at empire

She shook her head and then walked inside the courtyard where she found her daughter who was burying her head in the pillow of her bed. Madam Qian walked over to where Qian Lai was before patting her on the back as she said, " Hey, are you still upset?"
