Qin Yining was actually very nervous. Because she couldn't be sure of her father's attitude towards the matter of Dingguo Gongfu.
His father was a calm, reserved and resourceful official. Such a person must not be a soft-hearted person.
She must save the granddaughter's family.
She is not afraid of the old lady's objection, because no matter how much the old lady opposes, it is impossible to form any strong obstacles to her actual actions.
But father is different.
If her father made up his mind to object, there must be a way to control her actions.
He followed Qi Tai to the study room in the outer courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw two beautiful maids dressed in light blue fine cotton armor waiting under the corridor, it was Mo Xiang and Dan Qing.
Seeing Qin Yining coming, the two bowed their knees and saluted, one entered the room to pass the message, and the other greeted him.
"Fourth Miss is well, the master instructed the maid to wait for you here."
"There is Sister Lao Danqing."
Dan Qing carefully raised the dark green folded bamboo warm curtain for Qin Yining, Qin Yining nodded and smiled before turning into the study.
Qin Huaiyuan was wearing a light gray Taoist robe and a brocade jacket with an inky blue squirrel fur collar on his shoulders. He was sitting cross-legged on the black-lacquered Arhat bed by the window, reading a book.
"Come back? Come and sit." Qin Huaiyuan turned a page.
Qin Yining first did a good job of politeness, sat down on the other side of the Luohan bed, took the tea from Moxiang and placed it on the small table beside him.
The maids all withdrew.
Qin Huaiyuan was still reading, and asked with two minds: "What did you do today? Tell me about it."
Although Qin Yining was mentally prepared, his heart still couldn't help but jump. He got up and bowed his head and replied, "Go back to my father, I originally heard that the eldest uncle and the second uncle have come back, and they are going to greet the two uncles. I didn't expect to follow my mother to the gate of the Guogong's mansion, and I ran into a house raider. ."
"Yeah." Qin Huaiyuan gently placed the book button on the small table, with the words "Zuo Zhuan" on the cover.
"Cao Guozhang took people to raid the house and announced that the men of the Sun family, regardless of their age, would be beheaded, the female relatives escorted the church, and the servants and maids would be sold in three days. The people onlookers were in an uproar, and Cao Guozhang ordered someone to kill him on the spot. The common people have a peaceful voice."
Qin Huai said, "What about later?"
"Later, Cao Guozhang ordered the people to be taken away. Grandfather and grandmother, uncles, aunts, cousins and sisters-in-law were separated. The scene was very... My mother was crying. We were seen by Cao Guozhang." Avoiding the important is light, but he had to tell his father that Cao Guozhang had discovered them, so that he could be mentally prepared if something happened.
Qin Huaiyuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What about you? You didn't do anything after that?"
Qin Huaiyuan's voice was low and warm, as if he was still smiling, but Qin Yining clearly felt a chill rise from his back, so he hurriedly knelt down and gave a salute.
"Father, let go of his anger. At that time, the fifth cousin and the fifth cousin were young husbands and wives who were unwilling to part. The scene was really pitiful. The officers and soldiers were tearing apart. , I really can't watch Sister Wu Biao lose her life like that. I immediately ordered someone to find a relationship and saved Sister Wu's life. Fortunately, Sister Wu gave birth to a baby girl... "
Qin Yining glanced at Qin Huaiyuan quickly, but Qin Huaiyuan's expression was the same from beginning to end, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Qin Yining could only continue to say sincerely: "As for my order to do the lease, I think it's okay. Since the emperor ordered the convicted women of the Sun family to enter the church and become slaves and maids, they are waiting for the lease of Zhao Yunsi. .There is no other convict in this court who has the right to rent a church, right? Unless... unless the emperor is oversight and doesn't know that Zhao Yunsi has given it to me."
The emperor really doesn't know.
It is estimated that the emperor has regretted it at this time, and he should have thought about the business of Zhaoyunsi when he copied the government's mansion.
Qin Huaiyuan coughed, and then said softly, "Presumptuous."
Although the voice is not loud, there is not a lot of majesty in the words.
Qin Yining hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes. My daughter knows that she is wrong, so she shouldn't talk about the emperor behind her back."
Qin Huaiyuan was so amused by her appearance that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she held back her mouth and said, "Are you just talking about the emperor's fault?"
Qin Yining pursed his lips, and when he raised his head, his clear eyes were like a clear spring, and he looked at Qin Huaiyuan with doubts.
"My daughter did not resist the decree, nor did she do anything excessive. The emperor ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Even if the prince was found guilty, he could commit the matter of maternity and childbirth. There is no reason to ignore it. I think, even if I do not If you take action, the emperor will send someone to rescue Wubiao's sister-in-law. What's more, I am the owner of Zhaoyunsi, and a new prisoner has come to the Jiaofang. My Zhaoyunsi is short of manpower. What's the fault. Isn't this the rule of the Zhaoyun Si Renren set by the royal family?"
"You girl!" Qin Huaiyuan picked up "Zuo Zhuan" and gently patted Qin Yining's forehead: "The reason is still yours."
It doesn't hurt at all.
There is also a touch of pampering.
Qin Yining touched his forehead, and when he looked at Qin Huaiyuan again, the love in his eyes almost turned into a hot spring and immersed Qin Huaiyuan in it.
Qin Huaiyuan felt warm in his heart and said, "Get up, Danqing just ordered someone to prepare the cinnamon sugar cake, you can use it with me."
Qin Yining is not a picky eater and likes to eat everything. But cinnamon sugar cake is her preference.
Can't believe that my father knew? And also considering that she is busy today and has no time to eat
Qin Yining was very moved, smiled and said yes, got up and sat in the seat just now.
Dan Qing and Mo Xiang brought in various cakes and placed them on the small table.
Qin Huaiyuan first picked up a piece of cinnamon sugar cake.
Seeing this, Qin Yining also picked up a piece and took a bite.
The mouth is fragrant and soft, but not too sweet. The sweetness and deliciousness made her feel much better after a tense day. She couldn't help but move her index finger. She ate four pieces in a row and poured a bowl of tea. Only then did she feel a little bit in her stomach.
When he looked up, he found that Qin Huaiyuan was just holding the piece of cake and didn't enter, but smiled and watched her eat it.
Qin Yining immediately understood that Qin Huaiyuan was afraid that he wouldn't move, and she didn't dare to move, so she picked up a piece to pretend.
"Father." Qin Yining called out movingly.
The girl's bright and clear almond eyes were wet, and those who saw it couldn't help but soften. That handsome appearance seemed familiar, so similar to what he saw in the mirror when he was young. Such a smart and lovely child is the only possible bloodline in his life, the only continuation of his life.
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but touched her head again, her eyes were full of surprise and smile, and she subconsciously rubbed his palm like a small animal, which made Qin Huaiyuan burst into laughter.
It turns out that bringing children can also be fun.
Although her daughter was fourteen years old when she came home, she was the age to talk to her.
But in Qin Huaiyuan's eyes, she was just a smart and cunning child.
If the world is at peace, Qin Huaiyuan really doesn't mind how her daughter gets into trouble. The child is naughty and gets into trouble outside, and then goes home crying to find her father. He can use his abilities to help her solve the trouble, and then get the child's admiration and admiration. How nice.
Too bad it didn't happen at the right time.
"Are you full?" Qin Huaiyuan asked when he saw that Qin Yining was not moving.
Qin Yining nodded, her cheeks flushed.
Qin Huaiyuan said solemnly, "Although what you have done today is impeccable morally and ethically, you have forgotten what kind of discovery you are facing."
Qin Yining lowered his head and said honestly, "Back to my father, I didn't forget it. It's just... "
"It's just that you wanted to do it and did it?"
"Yeah." Qin Yining nodded and said, "I just don't want to do things that go against my conscience, and I don't want to live in regret and guilt for the rest of my life. I know I'm taking risks, but I believe that the emperor is also someone who cherishes feathers, even if he wants to. If he finds fault, he will also find an upright reason to let him stand on the highest point of morality. After thinking about it, I feel that there is nothing wrong with it, and this is the reason why I don't think about our family's situation. "
Glancing at Qin Huaiyuan, seeing that his expression was still the same, Qin Yining said again: "Besides, I am my father's daughter, and my father is now the crown prince, if something happens to my daughter's grandmother's house, and my daughter still stands by, she is obviously capable of saving Wu Biao. My sister-in-law still refuses to take action. How will people in the world talk about our family? How will they talk about our father? We are no longer the white-eyed wolves who are greedy for life and fear of death? My daughter doesn’t want to stain her father’s innocent reputation for a lifetime because of a momentary fear.”
Qin Huaiyuan was silent for a moment, but did not speak, did not reprimand Qin Yining, and did not accuse her of her fault, before saying, "What are you going to do next?"
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan had no objection, Qin Yining let go of his dangling heart and became more sure and worshipped of his father's character.
She knew that if Qin Huaiyuan didn't want her to save people, there were 10,000 ways to erase what she had done before, so that no one would be able to catch them.
Since her father didn't stop her, then he acquiesced to her actions and would help her deal with the aftermath.
It's just that there are some things she can do, but Qin Huaiyuan's position is inconvenient.
Qin Yining was a little excited, and his mind became active. He thought about it and said: "Go back to father, the next thing is the mother's place, and then there is the questioning beheading three days later. If the emperor did not give orders to behead people in this dynasty, they would basically be thrown away. When I went to the mass graves, I didn't say that people were not allowed to help collect the corpses."
Qin Huaiyuan heard the words and said, "I thought you would let me ask the emperor for mercy and let the male of your grandfather's family go."
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said, "I beg you to beg, but it's not easy for you to beg the emperor."
The emperor was frightened by Da Zhou's national letter, and he must find a way to calm Da Zhou's anger. Unfortunately, the Sun family hit the knife edge, and the emperor was already determined to use them.
When a person is in fear, one side of the scale is his own life, and the other side is the life of others. Of course, he will choose to save himself. Qin Huaiyuan just went to say it was useless, maybe he would get burned, and if he didn't get it right, he would harm the entire Qin family.
Qin Yining is not a fool. Qin Yining is very grateful for her father's acquiescence in allowing her to do something for the Sun family behind his back.
