Return of the Swallow

The carriage traveled on the official road leading to Xiangu Temple. Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing shared a carriage, Qin Yining brought rock candy, and Cao Yuqing brought an old mama who served personally. The four people sat on both sides of the carriage. Followed by the six nursing homes accompanying him.

Qin Yining and Bingtang both sit in a dignified and elegant posture, with standard etiquette.

The old lady that Cao Yuqing was taking with her was a little more relaxed, but it was Cao Yuqing, who was leaning lazily on a large throw pillow, holding a small bag of snacks in her hand, the cherry mouth slightly pouting, with a side of a plum in it. While reading the book while eating, he would occasionally let out a chuckle.

Her voice was soft and soft, and her smile was like a yellow warbler coming out of a valley, which was especially sweet to the ear. A trace of light from the gap in the car curtain shone on the gold-studded pearls inserted by her temples. The skin is better than the snow, and the complexion is extraordinary.

Bingtang hung his head and was playing with a small wooden box three inches wide with his thumb in his hand, hiding his resentment towards the Cao family very well.

Qin Yining admired the beauty unceremoniously and generously.

Cao Yuqing spat out a fruit pit, raised her eyes, met Qin Yining's face, and couldn't help but smile: "Why is the fourth lady looking at your maid and concubine like this?"

"Aunt Cao is beautiful and everyone has a love for beauty. If I was fortunate enough to ride in the same carriage, I naturally have to seize the opportunity to take a look." Qin Yining smiled and said seriously.

If this was said by a man, it would be unabashed flirting. But in the face of Qin Yining's seriousness, it does not make life feel any resentment.

Cao Yuqing said with a smile, "Miss Fourth is joking. The maid and concubine are middle-aged, so what is the beauty of the city? But Miss Four is right. At present, the beauty must seize the opportunity to take a look."

As soon as she threw away the words, she lazily supported half of her body with her elbows, admiring Qin Yining.

Her eyes did not contain any hostility, and fell on Qin Yining's face, as if admiring a precious antique.

If Qin Yining was an ordinary girl, she would have blushed long ago.

But she is not, she just thinks that Cao Yuqing can just let her see if she wants to. Anyway, she doesn't look at her less.

Gradually, Cao Yuqing's eyes when looking at Qin Yining's pretty face became softer, as warm as a spring. His eyes gradually became empty, as if he was looking at others through Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was keenly aware of the change,

Thinking of the evaluation of people's own appearance, it is a little clear.

Qin Huaiyuan now has a beard, and with age, his temperament has changed, and he must not be the same as when he was young. Now Qin Huaiyuan is an elegant middle-aged man with a somewhat immortal style.

And what Cao Yuqing saw through her face was probably that Qin Huaiyuan who was called "Zhi Pan An" when he was young without a beard.

"How long have my aunt and my father known each other?"

Qin Yining's words brought Cao Yuqing back to her senses.

She blinked and smiled: "The acquaintance is mutual, so the real acquaintance is not long. But before I left the cabinet, I met the Hou Ye and his wife at the palace banquet."

Qin Yining nodded clearly.

In fact, she could see that Cao Yuqing was happy with her father.

Regardless of whether Cao Yuqing is the daughter of Cao Guozhang's husband, or why Cao Yuqing led her mother to live in the palace, what role did Cao Yuqing play in this process. It is undeniable that when facing her father, Cao Yuqing was extremely polite and restrained, and she even catered to her.

This kind of catering is not only for favor, but because of genuine love.

When Cao Yuqing was not out of the cabinet, his father should have been in his thirties.

Thirty years old is the heyday of men. Fading away the youthful youth, the most handsome and mature age.

It is a pity that I am already old.

Qin Yining smiled slightly: "Auntie recently..."

Before the words were finished, the carriage vibrated violently!

The horse neighed, and then there were scolding from the nursing home: "Who are you!"

Qin Yining's heart froze, and he hurriedly opened a gap in the car curtain to look out, while Cao Yuqing lifted the curtain.

Outside the carriage, a group of men dressed as poor commoners, each wearing a rag mask and holding a stick, and a few people holding knives, there were more than 20 people, and the carriage was surrounded by water.

At this time, they were in a place where there was no front or back of the village and no shop. There were trees on both sides of the road. The road to Xiangu Temple was straight and smooth, but no one else passed by!

Qin Yining shrank back into the car in fright, and seeing that Cao Yuqing was looking out desperately, she hurriedly pulled her back: "Auntie, be careful not to show your face!" Is this person going to cause trouble! The appearance of her birth made Mountain Bandit Roadhog look at it, and if she didn't mean anything, she would be mean!

"What to do, what to do with this!" Bingtang pulled Qin Yining anxiously.

Cao Yuqing was also supported by the old lady surnamed Lu, and both of them shook.

The bandits outside the carriage had already rushed up and fought with the nurses.

When the sticks intersected, Qin Yining could hear a rude man shouting, "That girl is very handsome! Take it back and be a Mrs. Yazhai!"

Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing looked at each other with horror on their faces.

"At this time, we can only give it a shot!" Qin Yining pulled out the silver hairpin on his head and held it in his hand, "Look for it, if there is anything that can be used as a weapon, get ready!"

"Yes, but they have knives!" Cao Yuqing also learned from Qin Yining and pulled out a hairpin to hold it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, there were several screams from outside the carriage.

It was the Qin family's nursing home that was cut off from the carriage!

A blood-stained steel knife lifted the curtain of the car, and then a rough man with thick eyebrows came in. Although he was covered with a cloth towel, he couldn't see his face clearly, but when he saw Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing, his eyes burst with amazement. But make no secret.

"Tsk tsk, the little lady is really handsome!" As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand to Qin Yining's face.

Qin Yining glared at the man with gritted teeth, and the moment his hand approached, a hairpin slammed into it.

The man was caught off guard, a blood hole was poked in his arm, and a hole was cut open, and the blood spurted out immediately.

"Ah!" The man stepped back.

His comrades laughed when they saw that he was actually winning the prize.

The man was angry, pointed at Qin Yining with the tip of the knife and scolded: "Stinky girl! You are courting death!" Then he threw the knife and rushed up.

Qin Yining fought with the man with all her strength. Although she is strong, she is not good at kung fu. Of the four women in the carriage, she is the only one who can handle a little thing. Paralyzed, they dare not move, and Bingtang's resistance can be ignored in their eyes.

In the end, all four women were still caught.

Cao Yuqing was so frightened that she screamed and fainted, while Madam Lu supported her, tears streaming down her face.

Bingtang calmed down a little, but her face was pale and trembling.

Qin Yining's hands were cut behind her back by two men, and she had to bend over in pain, but she still stared at the man without showing weakness, and asked, "What are you doing!"
