On the carriage, Qin Yining's face was still crimson, and the thought of Yao Zhixi's bad appearance made her teeth itch with anger, but there were always some images lingering in her mind.
He suddenly put away his cowardice and asked her domineeringly, "Who am I and why should I tell you?"
There was the appearance of him rushing over to grab her hand and grasping the sharp arrow that stabbed at her throat.
There was his tall back in front of her.
And his shoulder was pierced by an arrow, and he looked back at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, breaking the tail of the arrow with one hand.
The more she thought about it, the more fearful she became.
Even though this person has a bad mouth and always likes to tease her, it is true that he saved their lives regardless of previous suspicions, otherwise she, her mother and grandmother would have to confess to Xianguguan today.
"Bingtang, Master Yao's injury is really okay, right?"
Bingtang said: "Yao Gongzi's injury is very serious, although the arrow pierced through and did not hurt the bones, but in the end he lost too much blood, and there is still that kind of poison that numbs the brain, he will be very weak these days, and he will be very weak after the injury. It would take a while to survive, but I can guarantee that I will be fine with my life."
Qin Yining was relieved and said, "Let's go back to the warehouse to have a look. I remember that I still have a 70-year-old ginseng. I can use it if I can, otherwise I will always feel bad."
Bingtang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, girl, there is me."
"Of course I can trust you. It's just that I have been rescued by wild horses and dogs in my life... But the number of times I've been rescued by people is very limited. My adoptive mother rescued me as a baby and raised me to eight years old. It's a pity Before I could repay her kindness, she passed away."
Qin Yining's eyes fell on the swaying fringe beside the car window, but his eyes gradually became distant.
"When I was seven years old, my adoptive mother was seriously ill, and the family ran out of money. At that time, I was really desperate and had no way to complain. I had already made up my mind to sell myself as a slave, and I had to save my adoptive mother. Brother Meiren passed by my house begging for water, and gave me ten taels of silver and dozens of big money. Although his tone was very bad, I could see his kindness. This is the second person who saved me. I want to repay him. , but couldn't find him."
"And the third one is today's Young Master Yao."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Although the people I met, such as my father and my grandmother, all had good intentions towards me, but these are relatives, and they are different from outsiders. I used to be unable to repay my adoptive mother and that Brother Meiren, but now I can repay this Young Master Yao, and it is a prerequisite not to let him fall into the root cause, and it is not a reward. If he has anything in the future, I will do my best to do it."
Song Lan and Qiu Lu both smiled and nodded. When it comes to repaying their gratitude, Bing Tang and Song Lan also felt the same way.
Bingtang said: "The girl is warm-hearted and grateful, and there will be good rewards."
Qin Yining said with a smile: "I don't want anything like good news, I just want to have no regrets. Later, let's go back to the warehouse to find medicine, and prepare some supplements, rock candy, you go to see Master Yao tomorrow, drop by. Bring it to him."
"Isn't the girl going tomorrow? I see that Young Master Yao really wants to see you."
Qin Yining's face heated up when she heard the words, she shook her head and said, "There are differences between men and women. Besides, there is a new concubine at home, so I don't know what the situation is."
Qin Yining felt one head and two big when he thought of this Aunt Cao who was going to be carried into the door today.
The mother is bound to make another scene, and I don't know how to end it.
Moreover, the Cao family has a lot of background, and the emperor is the matchmaker, and Cao Guozhang and the queen are the backers. Although they have not met, she thinks that this is a bigger name than the old lady in the family.
The carriage went all the way back to the Qin Mansion, and Qin Yining took Bingtang, Songlan and Qiulu quickly to the Cixiao Garden.
Entering the courtyard gate, going around the shadow wall, passing through the hall, and then going down the steps, you can see the red lanterns hanging in the courtyard like New Year's, and the Cixiao Garden is as bright as day. There was bright light from the window of the main house, and several people's figures were cast on the window, and the light from the window lattice also stretched the shadows of Sun, Mama Jin, and Picking Orange, who were kneeling in the yard.
Qin Yining stepped forward quickly, and before he could get close to the Sun family, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter in the room.
The warmth and liveliness in the house formed a strong contrast with the lonely figure of the sobbing Sun shi in the courtyard, which also ignited Qin Yining's anger.
"Mother, the old lady punishes you to kneel?"
Sun raised her tear-drenched eyes, and when she saw Qin Yining, it was like a wronged child seeing his parents, sobbing: "Sister Yi, you're back! The old lady told me that I was not virtuous and jealous. , I can't lay eggs myself, I'm not allowed to take concubines, I don't want to come to take Cao's tea, I explained it, but the old lady didn't listen. cry.
Qin Yining had already seen through the old lady's snobbery, and she could guess what the old lady was thinking without asking.
It is nothing more than the fall of the Dingguo Gongfu, and the Sun family has no need to hold it. Anyway, he can't help Qin Huaiyuan in his official career.
As for the Cao family, even if there is a lot of scolding outside, Taishi Cao is the head of the state, even if he has been removed from the official position, but he has many party members in the DPRK and the relationship can be described as intertwined, not a Qin Huaiyuan with an unstable foundation can compare .
But now, the Cao family has become a concubine bestowed by the imperial family to Qin Huaiyuan.
In this world, the most reliable way to bind two families is to marry.
In the past, even though the participation of King Ning and Dingguo's government caused a rift between Cao Taishi and Qin Huaiyuan, but now that Qin Huaiyuan has become the son-in-law of Cao Taishi, Qin Huaiyuan has a strong backer, not to mention that in the eyes of Cao Taishi I also have a good son-in-law in the house, and the previous matter can be relieved. Anyway, the position of Grand Master Cao was also given to his son-in-law, and it did not fall into the hands of outsiders.
I am afraid that the court has been shuffled again.
And what the old lady thinks, if you stand in the old lady's position, it makes sense.
If you don't take advantage of Cao's entrance and ruthlessly step on their mother and daughter's feet in front of Cao's face, how can you show your welcome to Cao.
It's just, it's too impersonal to do this.
But this is the discovery.
Not to mention that her mother has no support now. As the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo, she is afraid that she will also be implicated.
"Mother don't cry." Qin Yining squatted down, wiped Sun's tears with her sleeve, hugged her in her arms, patted her on the back like a child, and whispered in her ear:
"Mother, remember, we have no backer now, we have to rely on ourselves for everything, no matter what the old lady does, what Sister Hui does, or what my father chooses, I and you are bound together, I am yours Daughter, it will always belong to you, I will protect you, and no matter how bad it is, I will accompany you."
Sun shi nodded helplessly.
When Mama Jin and Caiju on the side heard Qin Yining's words, their tears fell down again like beads.
At this time, Mother Qin was just smiling and talking to Jixiang, and opened the curtain and came out.
Seeing that Qin Yining was back, he quickly closed the door curtain and stepped forward to salute respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Four girls, you are back. Please take a step to speak."
