"Mother Qin, but what is the old lady's order?" Qin Yining saw that it was Mama Qin who was speaking, and stood up hurriedly.
Mother Qin led Qin Yining to the side porch and whispered, "Fourth Miss, the new concubine is in the house, the old lady likes it very much, the servant knows that you are a filial girl, but you must be careful. Don't be impulsive."
Don't be impulsive in one sentence, it contains too many deep meanings.
Don't you bump into the new auntie on impulse
Or don't rush into the old lady on a whim
Or don't be impulsive and hate the old lady
Mother Qin is a capable person by the old lady's side. Ninety percent of what she means is the meaning of the old lady.
Why, the old lady did such a dirty thing to kill the donkey, do you still want to bully her mother and buy it from her at the same time
Qin Yining's lips curled into a smile, but her eyes gradually turned cold.
From the moment the old lady learned that the man of Dingguo's manor was beheaded, she imprisoned the Sun family in the ancestral hall, and even shouted that she was going to leave her, she had seen the old lady through.
Mrs Sun is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family. The relationship with the old lady has been less than 30 years.
Normal people, even if they keep cats and dogs, have feelings for a long time, let alone people
But the old lady was able to blacken her heart with regard to Sun's half-daughter.
What about yourself
She and the old lady had only met for less than two months.
If the old lady loves her ten points, then five points are due to her father's love for her, three points are because her grandfather is Dingguo Gong, and the remaining two points, half is due to her status as the daughter of a great teacher and marriage. Must be of great use. There is only one point left, which is the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren that have gotten along these days.
Now that Duke Dingguo's mansion has collapsed, she has lost three points of support.
She would never see her mother being bullied, and she would abandon her mother and switch to the camp for so little illusory happiness. It's only a matter of time before she breaks her face with the old lady. The love between her grandparents and grandchildren that she can regard as that point is no longer there.
Then all she has left is her father's love and the status of her first daughter.
As long as her father still loves her, she has a six-point chance of winning, and can guarantee that she and her mother will live in the back house.
Qin Yining is a person who calms down the more he encounters problems. Just breathing, he has already sorted out his thoughts, smiled at Mother Qin, and said, "Thank you for your advice."
Mammy Qin looked at Qin Yining's bright eyes, and for some reason, she felt a little cold in her heart.
She is too similar to Qin Huaiyuan when she was young. So much so that Mama Qin was in a trance for a moment, as if she saw Qin Huaiyuan, a young man who once fought wits and courage in order to protect the old lady.
Mother Qin smiled dryly: "It's nothing, girl, please come in first?"
"Okay." Qin Yining walked side by side with Mother Qin to the main room and asked, "Mother Qin, where is my father now?"
"Master just went to the study in the outer courtyard."
"Father should be very happy when he has a new aunt."
Mother Qin could hear that Qin Yining wanted to use her mouth to know Qin Huaiyuan's attitude towards this matter.
This matter is not a secret, even if she doesn't talk about it now, Qin Yining has a way to ask others when she turns around. Qin Mama has not been confused enough to even distinguish the seriousness and the seriousness, so she just wants to be a good person.
She whispered: "Master just sat down for a while and left. Then the old lady held the eldest lady to account."
In other words, Qin Huaiyuan didn't know that Sun's punishment was kneeling here.
Qin Yining smiled gratefully. "Thank you very much."
"Four girls are too polite."
The two stood under the porch, Qin Yining thought for a while, then called Bingtang to his side, whispering a few words in her ear.
Bingtang immediately nodded and said, "Okay, the servant will go now."
Grandma Qin didn't know what Qin Yining arranged for Bingtang. The girl ordered the people around her, and she couldn't control it. He personally lifted the warm curtain and invited Qin Yining into the room.
Qin Yining smiled soothingly at Mrs Sun, and then instructed Song Lan and Qiu Lu: "You two, go get three thick warm pads, and then bring two charcoal basins, the old lady is kind, even if she is angry. Punishing my mother to kneel, it is impossible to let her kneel on the cold stone ground in the cold weather at night, if my mother is really frozen, the old lady will feel distressed."
"Yes." Song Lan and Qiu Lu immediately went to prepare thick warm pads, charcoal pots, cloaks, hand stoves and other items.
Qin Yining's stern gaze swept across the stunned servants and maids of Cixiao Garden under the corridor, and said coldly, "You are all serving by the old lady's side, how can you misinterpret the old lady's orders? This matter is closed behind the door, everyone knows it is If you do things as slaves without thinking, if it spreads out, wouldn't the reputation of the old lady be ruined by your group of people?"
Mother Qin secretly admired Qin Yining's wit and courage, she was intimidated by her, and she saluted with several maids, "This servant knows you're wrong."
Qin Yining was satisfied, and gave Sun, who was looking at her with bright and hopeful eyes, a reassuring smile, and turned around and entered the room.
Sun's room has thick cushions, two charcoal basins on the left and right in front, and a thick cloak, holding a warm hand stove.
Mama Jin and Caiju were so warm that they almost cried, and their trust and admiration for Qin Yining rose to a new level.
However, Qin Yining did not avoid people when she spoke, and her words were clearly heard by the people in the room.
The old lady's face flushed with anger when she accused Sang and scolded Huai.
Qin Yining entered the room, and with a smile on his face, he bypassed the "Happy Eyebrows" interstitial screen and went to the inner room. When his beautiful eyes turned, he could clearly see the people in the room.
The old lady wore a rose-purple brocade robe and a forehead with rubies of the same color on her head. She was very festive.
Sitting next to the old lady was a very bright young woman in a light pink makeup and a phoenix hairpin. She was born with pink face and peach cheeks, Qiong nose and cherry lips, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and she seemed to be smiling even if she didn't smile. She was really almond eyes with affection, and her pink face was full of spring. It looked like she was only in her early twenties, not like thirty people.
This is the queen's first sister, Cao Yuqing.
Cao Yuqing and the queen are not very similar in appearance, but they are exactly the same.
Rao is Qin Yining who is also a woman, and when she sees her, she can't help but want to take a second look.
And when she was looking at Cao Yuqing, Cao Yuqing also looked at her up and down without hesitation, her eyes were full of surprise.
"This is the fourth young lady? She looks so handsome! The fourth young lady and the master are so similar when they were young!"
Cao Yuqing seemed to be insane. She shook off Qin Huining who was holding her arm, got up to meet Qin Yining, raised her hand as if to touch Qin Yining's face, but only halfway through her movements, she regained her senses, retracted her hand, and placed her wrist on her wrist. A pair of suet and white jade bracelets fell off, and they were held by Qin Yining with both hands.
"Fourth Miss, don't dislike it, this is my intention."
The beauty smiled, with bright teeth and bright eyes, it was really unbearable to refuse.
Seeing Cao Yuqing's diligence, Qin Huining's eyes were straight, and the old lady was also very surprised. Just as she was about to scold Qin Yining for not knowing the rules and not being polite, she swallowed it back.
Qin Yining looked at Mrs Cao with a smile, bowed her knees and gave a half salute, and said, "Aunt Cao is very kind, I shouldn't have declined, but when my aunt entered the door today, I should have prepared a gift for my aunt, but I really shouldn't accept it. A gift from my aunt."
She is the direct daughter, the real master of this manor! Cao Yuqing was just a little concubine, even if it was bestowed by the imperial concubine, she was just a concubine!
Concubine Tongtong business, the status is a little higher than the ordinary tongfang girl, and she has to call herself a "maid and concubine" in front of his wife. What qualifications does a servant have to see her as an elder? Where did you get such a big face to give her a meeting gift for this young lady
Qin Yining's words are too heavy!
The second lady and the third lady were all nervous, and the third, seventh and eighth misses on the side all tightened the handkerchiefs in their hands.
On the contrary, Qin Huining sneered, secretly laughing at Qin Yining not knowing whether to live or die.
The old lady was very nervous, and scolded in a deep voice: "Sister Yi! You are presumptuous! Don't kneel down and apologize to Concubine Cao!"
"Kneel down? Apologize?" Qin Yining looked at the old lady in surprise, and said innocently, "Grandmother, my granddaughter doesn't know what's wrong, why do you want to apologize? Could it be that the rules that grandmother taught her granddaughter a few days ago were all fake?"
The old lady choked, and before she could speak, Qin Yining continued: "Grandmother said that concubines are in business, and in some families, concubines are used to entertain guests, and the status of concubines is only a higher-level slave. I am my father. My daughter, my grandmother asked me to be a daughter-in-law and kowtow to a slave to admit my mistake? Are you mistaken?"
"I, when did I say this!?" The old lady blushed and smiled nervously at Cao Yuqing: "Yuqing, don't listen to the child's nonsense, mother has no intention of looking down on you."
Cao Yuqing was stunned, Mei Mei looked at Qin Yining, there were many emotions Qin Yining could not understand in her eyes, and then unexpectedly gave Qin Yining a salute.
"It's the maid and concubine that went over the line. The maid and concubine were just too happy to see the fourth young lady, so she lost her mind for a while. Please don't blame the young lady."
"Aunt Cao doesn't need to be so polite. From now on, it will be a family." Qin Yining smiled generously.
The quiet breathing in the room could be heard for a while.
Ever since Cao Yuqing entered the door, the old lady has been holding her in her arms, offering her as an ancestor. In order to please her, she even found an excuse to pull Sun shi out and punish her to kneel.
Who would have thought that this "savage" lady would not care when she came back, and gave Cao Yuqing a dumb loss in person!
Cao Yuqing actually took this loss docilely and obediently!
The second lady and the third lady also looked down on the old lady's actions in their hearts. Sun's current tragic situation made them feel like a rabbit, a dead fox, and something hurt. Now, seeing Qin Yining supporting Sun's way, inexplicably felt good. Heart gone!
Miss Three, Miss Seven, and Miss Eight looked at Qin Yining with admiration, but they were filled with worry in an instant.
This is Cao's!
This is the eldest daughter of Cao Guozhang, the sister of Empress Cao!
Qin Yining bumped into him face to face so hot, isn't he afraid that Cao Yuqing would go back and sue him
Their worries, the old lady naturally thought of it.
But the old lady was not afraid that Cao Yuqing would sue Qin Yining, but that he would anger Cao Guozhang and the queen all of a sudden!
The old lady was so angry that she threw the brass cigarette pouch at hand at Qin Yining, and shouted angrily, "Beast! Don't you kneel down for me!"
