Return of the Swallow

It was a hot time at noon in August. Pang Xiao, dressed in black, was sitting on a "dark cloud" with shiny fur. A thin layer of sweat had broken out on his body, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

However, he didn't care about this at all. He looked at the front of the official road expectantly. In a short time, he had left Ji Zeyu, Qin Huaiyuan and his party far away.

"This kid is so anxious." Mu Jinghu laughed.

Qin Huaiyuan lifted the curtains of the carriage and watched Pang Xiao riding Juechen, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

He hadn't seen Qin Yining in a few years, and he missed her dearly, but as an elder, he couldn't behave too humiliatingly in front of others.

Ji Zeyu smiled and said nothing for a while.

Qin Huaiyuan saw Ji Zeyu's expression from the corner of his eye and sat back in the car.

Ji Zeyu and the eldest princess Anyang are husband and wife after all, and there are rumors that the eldest princess was killed by the people who rescued Qin Yining. Ji Zeyu did not show any strangeness in front of Pang Xiao, and was willing to follow Pang Xiao. This is their brother Friendship.

But no matter how deep the brotherhood is, it doesn't mean that Ji Zeyu will not care at all about the death of the person next to him.

Qin Huaiyuan was a little worried. When he met Qin Yining later, if something unpleasant happened, it would be detrimental to the harmony between Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao in the future.

Qin Yining was wearing a coarse cloth dress and was sitting on a carriage with two children playing with the rope.

"Mother, look, what is this?" Brother Zhao's chubby little hands were dexterously linked in a pattern, "Mother, if you guess the right thing, Brother Zhao will reward you!"

Qin Yining held Brother Han in her arms, and her eyes were almost filled with happiness. She pursed her lips and pretended not to know, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Well, what is it? I really want Brother Zhao's reward. "

Brother Han was twisting and turning in Qin Yining's arms. Seeing that Qin Yining was being stumped by his brother, he quietly whispered in Qin Yining's ear: "Mom, it's a little mosquito!"

After saying that, he pretended to lower his head and fiddle with his fingers as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yining's heart was about to burst with joy. From the corner of his eye, he saw Brother Zhao glance at Brother Han, and knew that he must have discovered that his younger brother was secretly reminding him. But Brother Zhao didn't say anything, he just acted like he didn't notice, and asked seriously: "Mother, please guess."

Qin Yining felt happy about being pampered by his two sons. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Is it a little mosquito?"

"Yes! Mother,

You are really smart! Brother Zhao threw the flower rope away, put his arms around Qin Yining's neck and kissed her, "Give mother a kiss as a reward!" "

Qin Yining was amused and giggled, then turned her face and leaned closer, "What about this way? I want it here too."

However, Brother Zhao twisted his face and said, "I won't give it to you anymore. Mother will guess another riddle. I will give you a kiss if you guess it right."

Qin Yining pouted, blinked his big eyes and said "oh" in disappointment.

However, Brother Han leaned over and kissed her loudly, sticking out his tongue and making faces at Brother Zhao.

Brother Zhao rushed forward to catch Brother Han.

Brother Han yelled: "Mother, brother is going to screw me! Mother!"

Qin Yining hugged this one and then that one, laughing so hard that he almost burst out of breath.

Because I was just playing, I didn't even notice that the carriage had gradually stopped.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Pang Xiao squatted on the shaft of the carriage, looking at the mother and son who were laughing together in the carriage, his eyes softened like warm springs.

Qin Yining noticed the sound, raised his eyes and met Pang Xiao's eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

"Daddy!" The twins shouted in unison and pounced on Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao hugged the two children and said, "Little Guitou, what are you playing at?"

"We are playing with flower rope with my mother."

Qin Yining knelt down in the carriage, looking at Pang Xiao with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips, "You're here."

Pang Xiao nodded, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes were full of longing, pity, guilt and other emotions, and he was speechless for a moment.

Qin Yining lowered his eyes and shed a tear.

Pang Xiao immediately panicked, put the two children aside, and quickly got into the carriage, clumsily wiping her tears with his sleeves.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you in the capital. You almost lost your life. It's my fault. I'm too incompetent."

Qin Yining shook her head, "I can't blame you. Besides, everything was just a near miss." She sniffed, not wanting to disturb the reunion scene, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun and Brother Xuan are in the carriage behind. It’s up, do you want to go and have a look?”

Pang Xiao shook his head and stretched out his long arms to hold Qin Yining in his arms: "Sister Yi, I am sorry for you."

He had too much guilt.

He sent Pingnan's army away. Qin Yining was pregnant and had to worry about their food and salary. A woman's birth is a journey through hell, not to mention that it was Qin Yining who gave birth to twins.

Not only did he not accompany and take care of her, he made her bear all the troubles herself. In the end, he was even intercepted and almost died. To this day, her little face is pale and her injuries have not healed. They were all killed by Li Qitian. He was arrested, so that he narrowly escaped death, and even a quiet woman was put in a prison car and paraded through the streets...

What does it feel like to be locked up in a prison car? When he put Si Qin and his party in a prison car that day, it was because he thought of Qin Yining's suffering that he couldn't help but inflict these sufferings on those who suffered indirectly from Qin Yining.

Qin Yining shook her head. She wanted to say that it didn't matter, that she had nothing to apologize for, but she had a narrow escape from Pang Xiao. She almost never saw him again several times. She was a mother in front of her children, and she couldn't show any weakness. , she is the master in front of her followers, and she cannot lose her direction. Seeing Pang Xiao, her feelings of grievance and fear can no longer be controlled.

Qin Yining was buried in Pang Xiao's arms and couldn't help but choked up.

Pang Xiao felt extremely distressed, and patted her back with his big hand, "I'm sorry, I won't do this again, and I won't put you in danger again."

When Qin Yining cried, Brother Zhao and Brother Han also started twitching.

Jiyun and Bingtang outside the carriage also had sore noses.

Others don't know that they have seen and felt everything Qin Yining went through. People who don't know think that Qin Yining is a princess, enjoys glory and wealth, and lives a glamorous life. But only those around him know that Qin Yining's ability to survive to this day is entirely due to God's blessing. If there was even the slightest deviation, there would be no chance of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining meeting again today.

Qin Huaiyuan's carriage slowly stopped by the roadside. Mu Jinghu and Ji Zeyu got off their horses and protected Qin Huaiyuan from the carriage. The group of people looked at the opposite side strangely.

"What's wrong? Why is everyone looking sad?" Huzi spoke more bluntly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bingtang, who was in tears, giving him a blank look.

Bingtang saw Qin Huaiyuan, curtsied and saluted, and then told the carriage, "Princess, Mr. Qin is here."

Qin Yining was sobbing. He forgot to cry when he heard this. He raised his eyes and looked at Pang Xiao: "Is it my father?"

Pang Xiao nodded and wiped her tears with his sleeve, "My father-in-law came with me."

Qin Yining nodded and saw that Brother Zhao and Brother Han were still sobbing and wiping away tears. She felt guilty for a moment. She only cared about her own sadness and forgot about the child!

"Okay, okay, mother, don't cry anymore, Brother Zhao and Brother Han won't cry anymore, okay?"

The two children nodded in unison, and Brother Han hiccupped.

Qin Yining wiped the children's faces.

Pang Xiao turned around and jumped out of the carriage, turned around and took the children out of the car.

"Grandpa!" The two children said in unison, ran to Qin Huaiyuan with their short legs, and saluted in a decent manner: "Grandpa is well."

"Be good." Qin Huaiyuan touched their little heads respectively, and then looked at Qin Yining with a smile.

"Father." Tears welled up in Qin Yining's eyes again. He quickly walked closer and knelt down to kowtow.

Qin Huaiyuan supported Qin Yining with both hands, "Get up quickly."

Qin Yining raised his eyes and looked at Qin Huaiyuan, with tears in his smile, "How is my father? How are my mother, grandmother, and uncle?"

"Everything is fine, everything is fine. Your grandmother is getting older and her health is getting worse every day, but she is still doing well. The rest of the people have adapted well to Xiyue."

Qin Yining nodded repeatedly and shed a string of tears, which wetted his clothes. "Father has worked hard these days. It is the daughter's unfilial piety to make him work so hard."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and shook his head, "You have done a good job. My father has heard about your experiences these days. I am very happy to see you again today."

Qin Yining looked at Mu Jinghu, pursed his lips, and stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry."

After all, Tianjizi died to save her. Regardless of the past, Qin Yining felt guilty.

Mu Jinghu shook her head and smiled: "I can't blame you. Master, she has her own considerations in everything. By doing this, she has considered the consequences and accepted the consequences. You don't have to blame yourself at all."

Having said that, it was impossible for a person to sacrifice himself for her without being touched in her heart.

Seeing Ji Zeyu again, Qin Yining moved his lips, but finally said directly: "There are rumors in the outside world that Princess Anyang was killed by my people. In fact, it is not the case. She went to the prison to humiliate me that day, and she happened to catch up with them. Rescue me, and the other party rushes into the prison and gives her to her without looking carefully... Although I didn't do it directly, I can still be considered as indirectly harming her. I can't forgive you."

In fact, Ji Zeyu's people had already found out what happened that day. Even if Qin Yining didn't explain, he knew that Qin Yining was not to blame.

But Qin Yining was able to speak frankly in person without shying away from anything, which made Ji Zeyu feel a lot better. At least her character is worthy of Pang Xiao.

"I already know about this. If she hadn't gone to jail to humiliate you, she wouldn't have met those people." Ji Zeyu did not mention Tianjizi's name. After all, Tianjizi was Mu Jinghu's master, and he has passed away. They all go in and out together with Pang Xiao now, so it is not easy to mention this matter any more.

Pang Xiao patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder with his big hand to express comfort.

Brother Han had already taken Qin Huaiyuan's hand and dragged him to the carriage behind him, "Grandpa, come with me to see my little sister!"
