The atmosphere on the carriage was very dull, Qin Yining had not slept all night, and under the stimulation of the news that Jingzhe was about to be executed, she had a splitting headache and a very bad face. He pinched his eyebrows.
Qin Huai said far: "My father thought you had already gone home. I didn't expect you to be guarding the Wucheng Military Ma Siyamen. I just went home, and your mother was in a hurry, so I knew you were here."
"I'm worried about my father, it's my daughter's." Qin Yining opened his eyes, bloodshot in his bright eyes, "Did my father not go home last night? Was he in front of the saint all the time?"
"Yeah." Qin Huaiyuan was also tired and said, "I happened to be there when Cheng Shangshu brought someone into the palace yesterday."
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if my father said it. It must have been a quarrel. It's my fault, and I caused such a big trouble for my father."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled when he heard the words, and said, "How can you be counted as yours? You are also affected by the pond fish. The reason is that the father was shocked by their horse team that day, and the father did not want to give in, nor did he want them two. Shizu ran rampant in the capital and disturbed the people, so he pursued and fought hard, and he never thought that he would cause such trouble."
Qin Yining said, "Father, my daughter is not afraid of trouble, but... is Jingzhe really helpless?"
Qin Huaiyuan sighed and nodded, and said, "Sister Yi, you are a smart person, you don't need to be told by God to be a father, you understand that now the sage made the decision to punish Jing Zhe himself, but he just used a subordinate to block Cheng Shangshu's mouth. Well, in this matter, we only lose one person, and we can maintain the balance that we have managed to maintain now, and it is not considered a loss for us, the one who loses is Cheng Shangshu."
"But after all, there is still a life in between!" Qin Yining's voice was a little hoarse.
Qin Huai said far: "My father knows your thoughts and knows that you are kind. But the imperial decree has been issued, what else can we do? Sister Yi, I also know that you are smart, maybe you can think of a way to make Jing Zhe live. But you have to remember that you are the daughter of the Qin family, and you must think twice before doing anything."
Qin Huaiyuan's meaning is quite clear.
Jing Zhe is just a servant. If necessary, sacrificing a servant is not a big deal. The Qin family has not yet established a firm foothold in the capital. What they need is the attention and protection of the saint. Now that the sage has sentenced Jing Zhe to beheaded, it is already a sure thing. If they dare to intercede, it is equivalent to slapping the emperor's face without knowing what to do.
If this matter is viewed from the sidelines, Qin Yining knows that he should not intervene, and it will make things worse.
But the reason why Jing Zhe took action was to protect her.
If it wasn't for her, how could the tired Jing Zhe lose his life
After all, Jing Zhe is the person next to her. If something happens, she will shrink her neck and leave it alone. What will she do to convince the public in the future? What's more, out of her own will, she never wanted Jing Zhe to become a victim for protecting her.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining said, "Father, I promise not to harm the interests of the family."
This is what she was telling Qin Huaiyuan that Jingzhe was saved.
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan nervously, thinking in her heart, what should she do if her father denied her decision, or even severely reprimanded and stopped her.
Who knows the next moment, Qin Huaiyuan actually burst out laughing, making Qin Yining jump.
"Father, you..."
"As a father, I know that your temper is Zuo Qiang. It's like when my father was young, he decided to do something for himself, and he had to do it according to his own ideas, and he didn't care if others would stop him."
Qin Yining listened with a smile: "How can such a rational and calm person have such a time? Are you kidding me?"
"Where did I lie to you? Isn't everyone rash and high-spirited from the beginning, and gradually settled down to become calm?"
Qin Huaiyuan took off his official hat, rubbed his face, and said, "Sister Yi, if you want to do anything, just do it, just remember what you just said for your father, don't forget that you are from the Qin family, first of all It is necessary to keep the family alive, and only when the family grows, will you have more confidence in the outside world in the future."
"I remember everything my father said." Qin Yining said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding."
Qin Huaiyuan only smiled and touched Qin Yining's head.
When the carriage returned home, Qin Yining went to see the Sun family and said that he would go back to sleep.
But everyone can see that Qin Yining's face is really ugly, especially the people who know Qin Yining.
Qin Yining sat cross-legged on the heated kang by the window. Although she was sleepy and tired now, she was not sleepy at all because of the Jingzhe.
Jing Zhe's questioning was sentenced by Li Qitian himself.
Since they can't plead for mercy, they can only find a way to let Li Qitian speak and avoid Jing Zhe's death penalty.
But Li Qitian is so good, why did he let Jingzhe
In Li Qitian's opinion, if the Qin family loses only one servant, they can make Cheng Shangshu's family suffer that loss. This is already favoring the Qin family. If one is not careful, it is very likely to anger Li Qitian, and the consequences will change. unimaginable.
Qin Yining pinched his brows with his fingers and sat on the heated kang by the window, thinking of a solution without saying a word.
Ji Yun and the others saw that Qin Yining refused to rest.
Qin Yining didn't move the lunch he brought.
So is dinner.
She didn't eat or sleep like this, which really upset Ji Yun and Xianyun, and also made Xiaoman, Xiaoxue, and Dahan particularly moved.
Qin Yining has done his best on this matter. Jing Zhe was burdened and had nothing to do with Qin Yining. Although they felt sorry for their brother, they would not anger Qin Yining.
When Bingtang and Jiyun were so anxious that Qin Yining was about to tell Qin Huaiyuan, Qin Yining suddenly went down to the ground and ordered, "Go and call Xiaoman and the others, I have something to tell you, and send Yun to another one. When I went to the shopkeeper Zhong Da, I said that I would use our people in Dayan and let him come quietly."
Seeing that Qin Yining's eyes were clear and high-spirited, and there was no sign of despair, they wondered if she had already thought of a solution.
When Qin Yining saw Ji Yun and Bingtang staring at him, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "I think of a way, it should be feasible, and you should follow my instructions quickly."
"Yes." Everyone was busy splitting up.
Qin Yining called Xiaoman to the front and whispered a few words. They looked at each other in confusion, nodded, and went to work according to Qin Yining's instructions.
The shopkeeper Zhong Da arrived shortly after. Because it was already dark, it was inconvenient to speak in the house, so Qin Yining put on his clothes and went to the carriage outside the house to meet the shopkeeper Zhong Da.
