Return of the Swallow

The carriage slowly stopped at the side door of Qin Mansion, and Mr. Sun looked out from the gap in the curtain with a stiff expression.

Qin Yining observed Sun's demeanor, and knew that Sun must feel that she had come back and fell dignified.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place?

It's no wonder that Mrs. Dingguo is so angry. The Sun family is at this age, and she acts so casually. For so many years, she has been able to sit firmly in the position of the prime minister's wife, and her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law get along quite well. Good luck too.

But if this is the case, Qin Yining will not stand idly by about the Sun family.

Madam, don't be angry. My daughter already knows it's wrong. Qin Yining deliberately turned Sun's embarrassment and twisting into anger, and smiled, I will explain to the old lady later that Madam is for the sake of I only came back after teaching my daughter, and the old lady will definitely feel relieved when she finds out, and will no longer worry about teaching her daughter.

Sun shi was stunned when he heard the words, but did not immediately reflect.

On the other hand, Mama Jin, who was serving on the side, laughed. Her sense of Qin Yining had changed drastically in her heart. How much she doubted Qin Yining in the past, she now has much respect.

Look, Madam, the fourth young lady is really interested, so don't get angry about this. Besides, we are all a family. You and the master have been married for so many years, so what's the problem? Men's family loves face, so please let it go. One step has passed.

Why do you want me to give in? Sun shi whispered, but he didn't get angry.

Qin Yining saw through Sun's thoughts, and after thinking about it, he hinted: Madam is not angry, let's go into the manor? Now I go to see the old lady and reply, you can go back to Xingning Garden and repair it. , after all, I haven't been at home for so many days.

When Sun shi heard this, she really froze. She wanted to go back and see which concubine's house Qin Huaiyuan stayed in these few days when she was away.

Let's go, go back to the house! Without hesitation, Mrs. Sun ordered the maid who was following the car to knock on the door.

Seeing this, Mama Jin smiled and nodded to Qin Yining, who returned a gentle smile.

The carriage entered the mansion, and Sun and Qin Yining switched to the oil-walled carriage to get off at the second door.

Only after entering the Cixiao Garden, I saw the big girl Ruyi talking to the little girl.

Qin Yining first smiled and said, Sister Ruyi is busy.

If the opinion is that the person who comes is Qin Yining,

There was a three-pointed smile on his face, and when he saw Mama Jin, Caiju and Cailan waiting for Sun to come back, they immediately smiled and saluted: Eldest Madam, Fourth Miss Wan'an, the old lady is having a good time right now. , you two, please come in. As he spoke, he led the way.

The maids under the porch had already passed through the room, and the two maids lifted the warm curtains, and both Jixiang and Qin mama came out to greet them.

Qin Yining helped Mrs Sun into the house, and each took off their cloaks. Qin Ma and Ji Xiang immediately smiled and took over.

When he looked up, Qin Yining saw Bi Tong.

Bi Tong's eyes didn't dare to meet Qin Yining's eyes. Seeing Qin Yining looking over, she quickly lowered her head and shivered involuntarily.

Qin Yining just pretended he didn't see it, and helped Sun to bypass the black lacquer-carved happy brow screen to the back room.

The furnishings in the house have changed again. The original cool-colored chairs, tablecloths and throw pillows have been replaced with scarlet ones. The fresh flowers in the vase have also chosen red ones. The red flowers accompany the snow-white beauty flower goblets. It gives people a sense of festivity when you look at it, which is in line with the big happy event of Qin Huaiyuan's promotion.

The old lady wore a blue-green brocade jacket embroidered with large cranes and cloud patterns, and sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed by the window smoking dry cigarettes.

Qin Huining, on the other hand, held a delicate sputum box and waited for the cigarette ashes. Seeing Qin Yining and Sun's coming back together, she was a little surprised.

Qin Yining glanced at Qin Huining, whose face was full of astonishment.

Sun shi endured the embarrassment and said, Old lady, my daughter-in-law is back.

The old lady tapped her cigarette pouch and snorted coldly, leaving only a pair of eyes to the Sun family.

Sun's face flushed instantly, even her ears and neck were flushed. She gritted her teeth and endured the humiliation: A few days ago, my daughter-in-law was too impulsive, and I hope the old lady doesn't mind.

Mind? The old lady slammed the ash into the phlegm box, and the brass cigarette bag and the ceramic slammed into a loud sound.

If I care, have you been mad at me all these years? Mrs. Sun, you said that I, the mother-in-law, in the Qin family have ever made you angry? Or is there something wrong with my Qin family? Why don't you live? What are you dissatisfied with, just picking things up every three days? You say, is my son not worthy of you? Or are you looking at me as an old woman who is not pleasing to the eye?

Sun clenched his teeth and said nothing.

The old lady scolded again: You have been in the door for so many years, and you haven't given birth to a male child to Meng Ge'er. You say, have I ever blamed you for anything? , what do you want my old woman to do?

The old lady threw the cigarette bag aggrieved, Qin Huining immediately caught it, carefully extinguished it, and took the handkerchief to wait on the old lady to wipe her hands.

The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Huining, and said: You said, you have not been able to teach your children these years, I will keep my sister Hui carefully under my eyes, you will not get along with my sister-in-law, behind me How many good things have I said to you in front of the second and third daughters-in-law? You can't see them, even if others treat you well, you should take it for granted?

Meng Ge'er is also the great Yuan of the imperial court. You are a high-ranking woman, and you can't share your husband's worries. Not only did you make trouble for many times, but you also quarreled with him face to face. Where have you learned from the three obediences and four virtues? Is this your Dingguo Gongfu? tutor?

Sun's grievance began to cry, thinking only of one question: Do you want to endure it? Why don't you go back to your mother's house now! Don't look at these people's faces again!

The old lady made a lot of scolding, and her heart was much more relaxed. Seeing Sun shi crying non-stop, she hummed, Why, are you still wronged?

Old lady. Qin Yining saw that the old lady had also given a lesson, and Caesar's anger was also relieved, so he saluted: You must calm down, this time is all my fault, and my wife is also eager to teach children. This will be the case. Madam has also discussed with her grandmother the experience of teaching children in Dingguo Gongfu these days. Didn't she rush back when she wanted to understand? I beg the old lady to take care of the harmony of the family, so don't be angry.

The old lady's impression of Qin Yining now is no longer the time when she first returned to the house. Because Qin Huaiyuan treated Qin Yining as a son, the old lady also paid more attention to Qin Yining.

The old lady knows that the Sun family has such a strong backer as the Dingguo Gongfu, and he can't do anything to her. Since he will continue to accept her in the future, it is not good to say too much.

Thinking of this, the old lady said: Forget it, this matter has just passed, let's not take this as an example.

Yes. Thank you old lady. Sun saluted the old lady with a sigh of relief.

Qin Yining smiled and said, Thank you old lady for your kindness.

Forget it, you girl knows that you have a sweet mouth. The old lady smiled lovingly.

Qin Huining, who was on the side, watched Qin Yining persuade the old lady with just a few words. She had some hope in her heart, but now her hope has been completely dashed.

It seems that the old lady really recognizes Qin Yining, and likes it to the extent that she obeys her words, and there is no room for remorse.

How will she live in the future?

Qin Huining bit her lip anxiously, and then stepped forward to support Sun's arm: Mother, how are you doing these days? There are some things in the house, and my daughter can't get away, so she has no time to see you.

Sun's heart has been circling what Mrs. Dingguo said, and now when she looks at Qin Huining, her eyes become a lot more complicated.

What, what?

Qin Huining glanced at the old lady, then at Qin Yining, and forced a smile, as if she had to swallow her own pain and save others, she only said, It's nothing.

Let me first say that there is something, Sun shi asked and said nothing.

This is obviously playing tricks, in order to arouse Sun's interest.

As long as the Sun family is interested, they will naturally go to investigate, and no matter how the Sun family investigates, the rumors outside are not good for Qin Yining. Sun shi is not at home these few days, and the unbearable rumors outside will reduce Sun shi's goodwill towards her.

Qin Yining could see clearly, but did not express his position, just smiled as usual.

Sun was also really curious. But because the old lady was in front of her, she didn't ask her face to face, she just wanted to go out and ask Qin Huining later.

Seeing that the Sun family didn't speak as usual, Qin Huining answered, a little annoyed, and then asked, Why did my mother come with sister Yining? Did they meet on the road?

Another trap!

Qin Yining just wanted to interrupt, but Sun shi has already said without heart: It was Sister Yi who went to the Guogong's mansion to kowtow to admit her mistake, and I came back.

The old lady frowned when she heard it.

Qin Huining caught the old lady's expression, she was proud, and nodded calmly on her face: So it is. After all, it was sister Yining who was convenient to go out, so she left as soon as she said it. Alluding to Qin Yining going out without talking to the old lady at all answer.

Qin Huining wanted to take this matter to accuse Qin Yining in front of the old lady, and now she can say it and go out.

But Qin Yining knew that this sentence would definitely arouse the old lady's dissatisfaction with the Sun family.

The old lady really sank her face and said, Sister Yi went to kowtow to admit that you were wrong before you came back? Why, if Sister Yi doesn't invite you, you haven't come back yet?

I... Sun shi was startled, then immediately shook his head and said, Don't get me wrong, old lady, it's just a coincidence, even if Sister Yi doesn't go, I'll come back.

The old lady was too lazy to listen to Mrs. Sun's words anymore, so she waved her hand impatiently: Stop it! Go and rest, I think you are too lazy to come and see me, this old lady, you can save your morning and evening in the future. .

Sun's face turned pale, and then she looked at Qin Huining angrily.

The dissatisfaction and suspicion that had been accumulated for many days broke out at this moment.

With a sullen face, Mrs Sun took a lot of energy to stop shouting out in front of the old lady, gritted her teeth and said, If that's the case, then the daughter-in-law will retire. Sister Hui, Sister Yi, you are all with me. Come. I've got something for you.

Turn around and leave.

Qin Huining's face turned pale, and she followed up nervously.

Qin Yining shook his head helplessly, saluted the old lady, and followed him out.
