When the old lady met Qin Yining's gaze, her face became a little embarrassed. She smiled comfortingly at her, and said, "Sister Yi, come and sit here with grandma."
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat, and she sat quietly beside the old lady, and the clear Jianshui looked at the old lady suspiciously.
The old lady was looked at by her pure and pure eyes, and she felt guilty in her heart. The dry hand grabbed Qin Yining's white hand and patted it.
The dryness and coldness of the elderly's hand wrapped Qin Yining's hand, she couldn't help but want to withdraw it, but she still forced herself not to move.
Seeing that she was well-behaved, the old lady said softly, "Sister Yi, don't worry, your mother entered the palace a few days ago."
"My mother is still living in the palace at this time?"
"Yeah. But don't worry, your Concubine Cao went with your mother, it's good to live in the palace to relax, lest your mother be dying all day. This way, you can also let your mother and you go. Aunt Cao is very good at exchanging feelings."
Is this all human
Qin Yining's heart burst into flames for a moment, the blood in his chest seemed to have turned into magma and rushing through the blood vessels, and his face flushed with anger in an instant.
She forced herself to keep her complexion unchanged and said with a smile: "So that's the case, this time is the empress summoned by word of mouth?"
As he spoke, he looked at everyone's expressions. Seeing that the second wife and the third wife both lowered their eyes and couldn't see their expressions, the expressions of several cousins were clear at a glance, and they were all a little embarrassed and worried.
Qin Yining knew that the Sun family was probably not summoned by the queen. I'm afraid it's for other reasons to enter the palace.
But the old lady didn't feel embarrassed at all, smiled and said: "You can rest assured. Your aunt Cao also wants to get along well with your mother, and pity your grandfather's family. Knowing that your mother is depressed, this is why you think To take her into the palace to relax."
"So it is. Aunt Cao is really a caring person." Qin Yining's voice was still as calm and soft as usual, "I wonder how many days it has been since my mother entered the palace?"
When the old lady saw that Qin Yining was not as violent as she imagined, she liked it a lot and said with a smile, "The second day you go out, your mother will go to the palace."
"I see." Qin Yining's mind changed, and he understood the whole story immediately.
The origin of this incident, I am afraid that the old lady in order to please the Cao family, let the Cao family bring the Sun family to the palace to toss and humiliate the Sun family to lift the Cao family.
But there is one more point, I am afraid that the old lady's mind is unexpected.
Qin Yining smiled warmly and said, "I must have said hello to the Queen before entering the palace?"
Before anyone could answer, Qin Yining stood up and said, "This time my father and I went out to participate in the peace talks. The emperor is putting the burden of Dayan's life and death on his father. Although we are a rich and prosperous hometown, we have been weak for many years. Shi Bian is like a weak woman who has lost the ability to resist walking in front of the mountain bandits with a large bag of silver taels. Not only the silver taels are not guaranteed, but she is also unable to protect themselves. My father is an unparalleled talent and his talent is known far and wide. Old lady, you said that the emperor will let me go Father goes out for peace talks, what are you most afraid of?"
Qin Yining's back was straight when he spoke, and although he had a smile on his face, his aura was very intimidating. When everyone looked at her at this time, they all thought of Qin Huaiyuan, who had a straight face on weekdays. Although Qin Yining had never been involved in the officialdom, the wildness that was once an enemy of beasts and could still survive, did not add a bit of deterrence to her.
The old lady looked at Qin Yining's face, and remembered what Aiko once said to her, her expression changed in an instant.
She stared at Qin Yining blankly, her red face that was still smiling gradually turned white, and she said in fear: "The emperor is afraid, naturally..."
Without saying anything later, everyone is not a fool, and they all understand.
The second lady and the third lady looked at each other.
Qin Huining, Miss San and others also looked solemn.
"Yes." Qin Yining said with a smile: "The emperor is worried that my father is going to join the enemy, and he will naturally try to let his father restrain him. What is the biggest restraint of my father? Is it just my mother?"
Qin Yining walked slowly to the old lady and said with a smile, "However, fortunately, I succeeded in the peace talks with my father and returned safely. The crisis at home can also be resolved."
She looked at the old lady and the two aunts with a keen eye for everything, and then smiled: "Otherwise, whether it's someone who wants to get something while my father is not in Kyoto, or someone who wants to get something while I'm not in Kyoto, Anyone who seeks something will not get what they delusional, not to mention whether everything I and my father owns is burnt, just seeing that we are all Qin family, our lives are tied together. Isn't it obvious that there is no end to the egg?"
It's not Qin Yining's villain's heart, but that these people's surprises and hostility toward her return were too obvious.
The Qin family has not yet separated, Qin Huaiyuan is the eldest son of the long house and the pillar of the Qin family. The second uncle is the second son and is also an official, but the official position is not high, and he has been suppressed in the court. The third uncle is a concubine, in charge of business, and the economic lifeline of the Qin family.
When Qin Huaiyuan was there, both the second and third rooms performed their duties.
But if Qin Huaiyuan is gone, the second and third rooms will be ready to move. The second son felt that he could inherit the family business, and the concubine felt that he was the lifeblood of the economy, so why should the money from his own management be given to others.
Qin Huaiyuan didn't dare to say the words of the family separation, but everyone behind the scenes made a lot of calculations.
And what about her? If nothing else, if she was gone, Zhao Yunsi would be a big piece of fat. She and her father knew that the emperor had a heart for Zhao Yunsi, but the family didn't know.
Maybe seeing her come back alive, those who have fantasized about Zhao Yunsi's ownership are still very embarrassed.
Qin Yining's eyes fell on Qin Huining.
Qin Huining must be the one who is embarrassed, because Qin Huining considers herself to be Qin Huaiyuan's adopted daughter, and once called Mrs. Dingguo's grandmother. When she is gone, another granddaughter should take over the things that her grandmother gave her.
And now that the Sun family has seen through Qin Huining's sinister calculation, naturally he will not allow Zhao Yunsi to fall into Qin Huining's hands. Therefore, the existence of the Sun family is a stumbling block for Qin Huining to implement this plan.
These simple-minded people who only looked at the petty profits in front of them did not think that if the peace talks failed, or if she and Qin Huaiyuan did not come back, they were afraid that their lives would be lost, so what else could be calculated from them
Qin Yining was not alarmist, but revealed these truths and let them think for themselves.
If they can think more and fear more, it can be regarded as a kind of punishment.
The old lady's face was white.
Even the faces of the second and third wives were very embarrassing and ugly.
Qin Huining's face was even whiter, and she pursed her lips for a moment. Seeing that Qin Yining was looking at her, she would not show weakness and go later. It's just that her hands that kept twisting the veil betrayed her nervousness.
The old lady finally figured it out.
"So, Mrs. Cao wants to take your mother into the palace, maybe it's the emperor's intention?"
"Eight out of ten, nine out of ten, it's like this." Qin Yining smiled and said, "After all, it's not good for the emperor to directly take people into the palace as hostages. It's hard to say if it spreads, but this peace talk has already caused a lot of criticism and criticism. Well, the emperor is not that stupid, so he borrowed the hand of Concubine Cao."
Yes. It is inconvenient for the emperor to issue an decree, so he can only use the legitimate reason of the Cao family to visit relatives to relax!
"This, this... I can't think of Cao's heart, not to our family!" The old lady looked shocked.
Qin Yining's expression remained unchanged: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The old lady doesn't need to get angry."
Isn't this exactly what the old lady and monarch did? Could it be that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lights
Hearing Qin Yining's words, all the children in the house looked solemn.
The second wife and the third wife once again appreciated Qin Yining's power, and even came up with the idea that they would not be able to face her face to face in the future.
Facing the old lady who let a concubine bring her mistress into the palace to torture her regardless of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, Qin Yining didn't make any noise or made a fuss. Just by analyzing the court situation, her face turned pale and she wished she could go back in time. This is no longer intimidation and threat, this is completely intellectual crushing!
Seeing the old lady's appearance as if struck by lightning, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandmother, now that father has returned safely, everything can be solved. Presumably mother and Aunt Cao will be able to go home soon."
That being said, how can the old lady trust the Cao family in the future
She felt like she was being cheated on emotionally.
Qin mama listened for a long time, and never interrupted. Now that the topic finally came to an end, she came forward with a smile and saluted: "Old lady, can we have dinner in the warm pavilion?"
The old lady nodded with a pale face, a look of no interest.
Qin Yining lowered her eyes, hiding all her emotions under her long eyelashes.
After the dinner was over, everyone went back to their respective courtyards with their own thoughts.
Qin Yining wore a small jacket and sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed by the window with Erbai in his arms, frowning in thought.
Qiu Lu added a lamp to the room, brightening the slightly dim bedroom a lot.
Songlan and Bingtang were both indignant and cursed while they put the soles of their shoes to make needles and needles: "It's so shameless, I've never seen such a person before. What kind of skill is it to bully Madam while we're not at home!"
Qiu Lu sighed: "There's nothing you can do about it. Miss Hui Ning will only make fun of her in front of the old lady. It's not like you don't know the old lady's temper. I can't find the North anymore."
"I don't think she can find Bei!" Bingtang poked the sole of her shoe with a needle.
Song Lan made a "shush" gesture and looked back at Qin Yining.
Qiu Lu changed the subject and said, "Girl, during your absence, a few of us from Shuorenzhai have also left."
Qin Yining came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I found out, Liu Ya and the two girls below are gone. Did you go to Sydney Courtyard?"
Qiu Lu nodded and said, "Liu Ya took the two little girls to join Miss Huining. Miss Huining told the old lady for some reason, and the old lady agreed, saying that there were already more pine orchids in our yard. And Bingtang, Songlan and Bingtang used to eat the salary of Duke Dingguo’s mansion, and now they also eat from our mansion, so there is no need to keep more people in Shuorenzhai.”
