Return of the Swallow

Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Yining with a deep look, as if he was examining something. The aura he showed inadvertently was quite stressful.

Sun's heart was already trembling, and she turned back worriedly: "Sister Yi, otherwise listen to your father. Let's go back. I have also lived in the palace for a while, so I can go back and say goodbye to the old lady. ."

Qin Yining looked at Sun with pity.

The mother has been in the palace for many days, and she does not know the ruthlessness of the old lady. She thought the old lady was her mother-in-law, but the old lady only thought she was an outsider.

The old lady is selfish and ruthless to the extreme.

Qin Yining didn't want to tell Sun's this.

The Sun family is not good at forbearance, and she will return to the house to live in the future. If the Sun family knows everything, how can she face the old lady calmly?

So Qin Yining just shook his head: "I hope the father and mother can forgive the daughter's willfulness. The daughter is not disrespectful to the old lady, but in order to avoid being bullied in the house in the future, the daughter can only do this."

Seeing that Qin Yining was so restrained and did not tell the Sun family what happened in the mansion, Qin Huaiyuan could vaguely guess one or two.

"I know for my father. You mother and daughter can stay here temporarily." Qin Huaiyuan sighed and stood up, saying, "I will find out when I return to the manor for my father."

"Thank you, father." Qin Yining smiled gratefully, the dimples on her cheeks were extremely cute and pleasing.

Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "You mother and daughter will live happily."

"Master." Mrs Sun gave Qin Yining a helpless look, then got up to see Qin Huaiyuan: "I will persuade Sister Yi, and I will go back soon."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, "Sister Yi has an idea, you can just keep it safe."

The Sun family sent Qin Huaiyuan out before returning to the room.

Qin Yining had asked someone to prepare delicate and delicious side dishes, had a simple dinner with the Sun family, and then went to bed with the Sun family after washing up.

The mother and daughter were gossiping about each other, Qin Yining only talked about some interesting things during the peace talks, and didn't mention the affairs of the mansion. It was rare for her to be so close to the Sun family, and now she can speak so calmly with her mother, not to mention how happy she is.

After she returned to the mansion, wasn't she asking for this day?

Qin Yining's happiness infected Sun's family,

Sun's mood also relaxed. However, there are doubts in my heart.

To make Sister Yi refuse to return to the mansion, what did the old lady do?

The Cixiao Garden is brightly lit. Brand-new and bright palace lanterns hang high under the eaves of the corridor. The blue brick floor, which has just been soaked by a drizzle, reflects the outline of the palace lanterns and houses, making the spacious courtyard look like a fairy palace.

Qin Huaiyuan was wearing a cape, Qin mama held a lamp in front to guide the way, and two maids in the back held up oil-paper umbrellas and raised their hands to cover the fine rain for him, and the group walked quickly to the main room.

Mother Qin said with a smile: "It's good that the master comes back safely. I don't know how much the old lady will like it."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled peacefully and said nothing.

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan's expression, and he came back alone, Qin mama changed the subject immediately: "It's getting warmer, it rained lightly in Beijing two days ago, and we already have some in our back garden. It's green."

"Yeah." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "The spring sun has arrived in the blink of an eye."

Passing through the yard, going up the steps, Ruyi curtseyed, and carefully put up a warm bamboo curtain with dark green embroidered magpies climbing branches for Qin Huaiyuan. The warmth and laughter in the house came out together, but Qin Huaiyuan did not show a single smile.

Ruyi still wanted to go into the house to serve, so Mother Qin pulled her and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare what the eldest man likes to eat."

Ruyi nodded when she heard the words, smiled gratefully at Mother Qin, and hurried away.

Mother Qin stood under the porch and did not enter the house.

Not to mention that she doesn't enter the house, even if the idle people in the house will come out later, she should not join in the fun.

Qin Huaiyuan went straight into the room and saw Cao Yuqing, Qin Huining and Miss Six around the old lady, standing or sitting talking.

Seeing her return, Cao Yuqing, Qin Huining and Miss Six all stood up and saluted.

The old lady happily got out of the Arhat bed and grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's hand, "Brother Meng is back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Qin Huaiyuan saluted the old lady, and then took a look. Seeing that the old lady's face was ruddy and her complexion was as usual, she said, "How is your mother always?"

"Okay, okay, I'm just worried about you. Look, you've lost a lot of money these days when you went out. Let's make up for it later."

He smiled at Cao Yuqing again: "Just now, Yuqing and I were still talking about your favorite food, and Yuqing also said that the weather is getting warmer, so I have to prepare summer clothes for you."

Due to the time-consuming manual work, the clothes in the house are prepared every other season.

Qin Huaiyuan glanced at Cao Yuqing lightly, and said, "Don't worry about it, the madam will take care of it."

This is to remind Cao Yuqing that you are just a concubine, don't go overboard.

Cao Yuqing heard that her smile faded and her face turned white, but she still maintained her smile, "It's not troublesome. Doing these things was originally a concubine's job."

"Internal affairs?" Qin Huaiyuan helped the old lady sit down on the mahogany Arhat bed with a brand-new light blue mattress, and chuckled lightly, "I thought that your internal affairs were in the palace, not in the palace. ."

Cao Yuqing's complexion turned from white to red, and her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Huaiyuan with anger, as if she didn't understand why Qin Huaiyuan suddenly gave her a show. But before she could breathe, she bowed her head and bowed humbly: "Sir, calm down."

The old lady's face turned pale when she saw that her son dared to do this to the Cao family!

This is Cao's! Queen Cao's sister, the eldest daughter of Cao Guozhang!

She winked at Qin Huaiyuan again and again, but Qin Huaiyuan didn't seem to be able to see, and he could sit down and eat tea leisurely.

The old lady was sullen for a while, so she had to help Cao Yuqing in person, and helped her to sit down at the embroidered pier beside her: "Good boy, ignore him, he's a mess, let me talk about him."

The voice fell, but Qin Huaiyuan spoke first: "You go out first, I have something to say to the old lady."

Qin Huining and Sixth Miss, who were silent like a cicada, hurriedly saluted and retired.

Cao Yuqing glanced at Qin Huaiyuan hesitantly, then got up and left.

There was no one else in the house soon. The old lady saw Cao's aggrieved look and said anxiously: "Meng Ge'er, what are you doing? Just come back and show Yuqing's face!"

"Face? She is the son's concubine. She did something like cheating the mistress to enter the palace. The son has not taught him a positive lesson, but he can't say a word from the side?"

"Don't forget, her surname is Cao!"

"She's surnamed Qin now."

The old lady pointed at Qin Huaiyuan and said, "You bastard child, don't forget who her sister and her father are! If you don't get these two together, what will happen in the future!"

"Mother worries about her son, cherishes her son, and the son knows." Qin Huaiyuan helped the old lady to sit down again, and continued the tea for the old lady.

"I just ask my mother to understand that my son is also a husband and a father." Qin Huai stopped short.

The old lady's face changed a few times, and she cursed with an angry brow: "I knew it must be that bitch of the Sun family and that little brat of Qin Yining who were behind the instigation! What did they arrange for me?"

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved, the old lady choked up: "Sunshi dares to provoke the imperial power, but that precious girl of yours is still going to save people! That kind of savage and stupid woman, if she dies, she will be clean, and it will not tire you! I am you! My mother is the old mistress of this family, can I let a stinky fish from the Sun family stir up a pot of soup!"

"Mother calm down."

Qin Huaiyuan lowered his head and said, "A mother's love for her son is the same as her son's love for Sister Yi. Mother probably forgot that when your grandmother made things difficult for you in every way, your father spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, and raised the Jiang family high. How did you wash your face in tears, and how did your son do it."

Hearing this, the old lady was angry, but she was also aroused by the sadness when she was young, and recalled how Qin Huaiyuan protected her when she was young.

"What my mother hated most back then was my grandmother's unkindness and eagerness for quick success, but now, look at yourself, what's the difference between you and your grandmother back then?"

"You unfilial son! I'm not doing this for you!"

"For the sake of the son, then ask the mother to take good care of the son's reputation. The son cannot bear the reputation of being ungrateful and spoiling his concubine. The son is already an extremely noble official, and now he has a title. With Dayan's national fortune, the son has There is no hope for reaching the top. The son has been sitting upright all his life, just to avoid being criticized and scolded, and begging the mother not to make unreasonable opinions."

"Good! Good! You think I'm superfluous!"

"Mother knows what I'm talking about, so why bother talking about him?" Qin Huaiyuan looked directly at the old lady and said, "Sister Yi and Mrs Sun are staying away for the time being, the son doesn't care, the mother can handle it. As for Mrs. Cao, the mother doesn't know the inside story of the matter between her son and her, so please don't intervene."

Qin Huaiyuan gave up after saying that, turned around and went out.

Looking at his back, the old lady burst into tears, "This unfilial son, unfilial son! What wrong have I done!"

Mammy Qin, Jixiang and Ruyi under the corridor bowed to Qin Huaiyuan, and then ordered someone to hold an umbrella for Qin Huaiyuan to send him away.

Mother Qin took a breath of the moist and cold air, patted her cheeks to sort out her expression, and then went into the room to comfort the old lady.

Although Qin Huaiyuan was talking to the old lady, she turned away from others, but there was no airtight wall. Soon the second and third rooms learned the news. Hearing the news is unavoidable.

No matter what the people in the government secretly talk about.

At this time, in the Yingbin Pavilion under the banner of Honglu Temple, the minister of Honglu Temple was leading the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the main hall.

Lian Shengjie was wearing casual clothes with a straight back.

The minister of Honglu Temple said with sincerity and fear: "Prince Zhongshun of your country has arrived first, and now he is waiting for you to have a banquet in the flower hall. The lower official has prepared an exquisite banquet and singing and dancing with Chinese characteristics. Please do not dislike it."

Hearing that Pang Xiao was also there, Lian Shengjie couldn't help showing a hint of fear on his face, but when he thought about the will of the sage, his mind became firm again.

The "characteristic song and dance" said by Honglu Siqing made Lian Shengjie's heart rippling even more.

Some people sing songs, some dance dances, these people must not be rough men, right? He doesn't have to worry about being lonely any longer.

Just thinking about it, the group entered the flower hall.

Pang Xiao sat in the first place and squinted at the sound: "It turned out to be Lord Lian."
