There was an eerie silence in the house.
Mu Jinghu sat slumped on the armchair beside him.
Qin Yining couldn't think of how to comfort him, Mu Jinghu was not someone who would slander others at will. When he said this, he was saying that it really happened.
She received a letter from Bingtang earlier, and said that Qiu Feishan was in a strange condition. Now it seems that if she pretends to be sick, Bingtang can't be diagnosed, but she has a headache. Bingtang naturally doesn't know the reason, and can only be attributed to a strange disease.
Qin Yining felt that there were two reasons for delaying Mu Jinghu's pace. One is that Qiu Feishan doesn't want Mu Jinghu to participate in Pang Xiao's affairs, and the other may be for the sake of Mu Jinghu's safety.
Qiu Feishan is extremely intelligent, and her mind and means are top-notch. She is willing to think about this for her husband, but it doesn't mean that she is completely unintentional towards Mu Jinghu.
It's a pity that Qiu Feishan miscalculated Mu Jinghu's reaction. He didn't expect Mu Jinghu to take loyalty so seriously. He would rather choose a loyal brother and keep his promise than favor Qiu Feishan because she is his son's mother. . Qiu Feishan did not expect to come to Mu Jinghu, and she would feel annoyed and chilling for him to leave.
Qin Yining opened his mouth, and faced with a woman who had plotted against him and Pang Xiao, it would be impossible to say that Qin Yining could still treat her as before. But if it was said that she hated Qiu Feishan so much, she didn't. It's just that the position is different. She would do such a thing. Although she doesn't agree with it, she can understand it.
Just pity Mu Jinghu.
The daughter-in-law he chose by himself did not hesitate to rob her and negotiate the conditions to get her forcibly, so he must be very fond of Qiu Feishan. But the woman he loves has deceived him and is even suspected of taking advantage of him. He is not a man who refuses to be in charge, and Qiu Feishan gave birth to brother Yan again.
This is a really bad debt.
Qin Yining shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Mr. Mu, it's me and Xi that have tired you. If it wasn't for this, you and Boss Qiu could be an ordinary couple and live a stable life."
Mu Jinghu shook his head with a wry smile, "You don't have to comfort me. I know her temper too well. She is not the kind of person who would live a peaceful life. Even without you and Zhixi in the middle, her temperament will not change. , as usual, she will go to find trouble and cause trouble. If she wants to go back to Tianji Valley with me to live a peaceful life, she is afraid that she will be suffocated to death! "
Qin Yining was dumbfounded.
"I don't want to pay attention to her anymore!" The more Mu Jinghu thought about it, the more angry he became.
Seeing his temperament like this, Qin Yining couldn't help but sigh again, Mu Jinghu is not a particularly complicated person, he will act according to his heart after he has identified his own set of principles. He was hurt by Qiu Feishan's actions, otherwise he wouldn't have said that to his wife in front of her.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. After all, she is Brother Yan's biological mother. Brother Yan is your eldest son. He is innocent. If you are angry, you will be angry. You still have to think about it, Brother Yan."
Hearing the words, Mu Jinghu grabbed her hair in pain, obviously confused to the extreme.
Qin Yining didn't know if she should continue to persuade, because it was the first time she saw Mu Jinghu showing such an expression.
She didn't feel good either. After all, she regards Qiu Feishan as her ally.
"I will never trust her again." After a long time, Mu Jinghu said in a dry voice: "I don't care about a rich life, what I care about is her feelings for me, he has been deceiving me and using me from beginning to end, this is me The most unacceptable thing. I also know that Brother Yan is innocent. After I'm done with the business here, I will take Brother Yan to my side to teach him well. I will have nothing to do with Qiu Feishan in the future, she will leave her Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, and even if I take Brother Yan to live in poverty, that is the life our grandfather should live."
When Qin Yining heard the words, he knew that Mu Jinghu was angry at this time, and he already meant to be disheartened. He didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he only calmed down: "Don't go to the horns of everything, just deal with it calmly, in any case, there are I'm here with Zhixi, you and Brother Yan have a home to go back to."
Hearing this, Mu Jinghu raised his head, looked into Qin Yining's sincere eyes, and nodded for a long time.
Soon, Jing Zhe and others took care of their luggage, and Ji Zeyu also came.
"Leave as soon as possible, while the Tatars are repairing and have no time to take care of so much, I will lead people to protect you and leave."
Qin Yining shook his head and said worriedly, "It's easy for us to escape, but it's not easy for you to stay here. The people in the city don't have much food. You don't know how long you have to stay here, and what people eat and horses chew is A lot of expense."
The words were not finished, but Ji Zeyu understood Qin Yining's concerns.
The treasury is not tight for a day or two. All the money of the saint was used to repair the emperor's tomb, and the old capital was almost consumed. Now the world is in a major disaster, the people are displaced, and there are people in every state who rise up because of starvation. These chaos have not been suppressed yet, the Tartar Taking advantage of the emptiness, Li Qitian didn't want to bring food and grass to Ji Zeyu, but he himself was stretched.
"Don't worry, I will find a way." Ji Zeyu didn't say much, raised his eyebrows confidently, and chose someone to go out of the city to harass him, and there was a slap in the face.
Qin Yining said goodbye to Lu Weigui, boarded the carriage and led Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing and others to break out beside Ji Zeyu.
The Tatars were exhausted from their long-distance raids. In addition, they were just preparing to set up camp and their defense was still weak. Ji Zeyu's men caught them by surprise. During the battle, Qin Yining's team chose an inconspicuous path and fled quickly.
The shouting and killing gradually faded away, Qin Yining raised the curtain of the car worriedly and looked back, only to see two teams of people fighting in one place, Ji Zeyu and his party were heading to the city gate to fight and retreat, and some people in the city opened the city gate and came out accepted.
Qin Yining sighed, "We're leaving, and all the mess here will be cleaned up by Duke Ding."
"It's not your fault. The fault lies in the fact that the Tartars took advantage of the vacancy to enter, and the saints are dull. If they were willing to put in a little thought, they wouldn't be completely helpless at this time." The more Ji Yun said, the louder his voice became. Liao Zhibing and Meng Qin, who were following the car, had their blood boiled and started talking.
Mu Jinghu rode his horse to the side of the team, and said nothing with a sullen face.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain of the car and looked at Mu Jinghu, and couldn't help sighing again.
Because they were on their way, and the capital was not far from here, Qin Yining and his party camped outside for two nights and soon arrived in the capital.
However, the sight in front of them made the group even more shocked and powerless.
In front of a large open space, there are victims lying or sitting everywhere. There was even a woman with a thin handful of bones, her cheeks sunken, and she did not forget to hold a child and rock it gently in her arms.
There are victims everywhere in the large open space in front of the city gate, and there are even people arranged in the city to patrol the places where the victims are located. Incinerate the remains and put them in the ground for safety.
Qin Yining naturally knew that these people's actions were correct. In the face of disasters, preventing epidemics was the most important thing. No one would care about the mood and tears of a few people.
But this tragic situation has extended to the capital, and it still makes people feel cold.
"Princess, let's..." Ji Yun's throat was dry, he coughed several times before he recovered his voice, "Let's go into the city now."
Nodding, Qin Yining pursed his lips and frowned as he got into the carriage, daring not to look at the tragic situation outside.
The gates of the city were tightly closed, and the vehicles passing by were carefully checked, but Qin Yining returned to Beijing and had a guide, so he was naturally released respectfully.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw the still tidy streets, as if the heavy city wall separated the inside and outside into two worlds. Qin Yining couldn't help but sighed in relief when those tragic situations were no longer seen.
Ji Yun sighed and said, "It would be great if the world were like this."
Qin Yining was silent, and everyone outside the carriage was silent.
After a long time, Qin Yining asked Mu Jinghu outside the carriage, "Your Highness is with this palace now?"
"Yes." Mu Jinghu said, "His injury is not serious, he will not go to court for a long time, and he is recuperating in the mansion."
Qin Yining nodded. Thinking of Pang Xiao's injury, he became more and more anxious. He lifted the curtain of the car and urged, "Let's hurry up. Everyone can rest well when we arrive at the palace."
Putting aside the troubles outside for the time being, everyone's mood finally relaxed as they were about to get home.
Soon, Xingbian came to the gate of Yuci Palace.
Menzi was a close associate arranged by Pang Xiao. As soon as he saw Qin Yining's carriage approaching, he became vigilant, but after seeing the person following the carriage, he immediately smiled and told inside: "Go and tell inside, the princess is back. "I myself greeted him and saluted.
Qin Yining chatted with the car curtain and smiled: "No gift. How is the house? Has anyone visited the prince recently?"
Menzi said with a smile: "Don't worry, wangfei, the lord's injury is getting better." He didn't talk about the visit.
Qin Yining knew something in his heart.
Qin Yining got out of the car and entered the mansion gate with everyone.
Someone had already prepared a pole for walking. Qin Yining had just sat down when he heard footsteps coming from the house.
Running ahead was Bingtang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and beside her were Shion and Hanxiao's two maids.
Ji Yun saw Bingtang, and laughed firstly: "You girl went to the south, why does your face look rounder? Could it be that your life is too comfortable? It can be seen that Huzi has protected you and your party well."
Bingtang's face turned red, and he spat at Jiyun: "You will bully me sloppily, princess, you won't let me decide."
"What are you calling the shots, where did I bully you?" Ji Yun said with a smile.
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Call the shots, call the shots, both of you are people by my side, I will naturally call the shots for you, you are old, you should have been released and married long ago, and you will come back to me in the future. It's also good to be a steward by my side."
This time, not only Bingtang blushed, Ji Yun's face also blushed, and the two of them shyly called out, "Princess!"
Everyone laughed for a while, sweeping away the gloomy mood when they just returned.
Qin Yining took Bingtang's hand and asked, "How's your lord's injury?"
