Return of the Swallow

Hearing this, the old lady looked at Qin Huaiyuan in disbelief. She just cried for a long time without shedding many tears, and in the blink of an eye, she burst into tears.

"You unfilial son, you made up your mind to help your daughter-in-law to bully you as a mother, and now you say that I am going to call them back? I didn't listen to you! If you are willing to order them to come back, One of them is your daughter-in-law and the other is your daughter. I don't believe that they will really not listen to your orders! You are turning your elbows out, and now you are saying such things to stop my heart! You really married a daughter-in-law and forgot Mother, what the hell have I done!"

Qin Huaiyuan frowned helplessly.

He knows the temper of the old lady best as a son. If she doesn't make sense, she will cry and make a scene. It is her own relatives who control her. No matter what her family considers, she must treat the old lady in the end. You give in. Especially for him, he was even more reluctant to let his mother cry so badly.

Qin Huaiyuan could only persuade softly: "Mother is serious, and son is just stating facts. You told them, and they came back. How good is this?"

"A good thing? I'm almost mad at your daughter-in-law. Is it a good thing?"

Qin Huaiyuan said helplessly: "Mother forgot that you were the one who decided the marriage for your son back then, and there was nothing wrong with Sun's entering the door."

"No fault? She can't give birth to a son-in-law, so it's called no fault?"

"She has already given birth to a direct daughter. It proves that it is not that she cannot give birth." Qin Huaiyuan felt the pain in his heart, and his patience was about to wear off.

The old lady saw Qin Huaiyuan's face sinking, and realized what he had said in a hurry. In fact, the old lady also had some doubts about whether it was Qin Huaiyuan's problem, but after all, her son was a person with strong self-esteem, and she didn't want to hurt him by asking more questions.

At this moment, a message from the maid came from under the porch: "Old lady, the eldest lady and the fourth lady are back."

Immediately, as soon as the dark green warm curtain was lifted, Qin Yining helped Sun to enter the door.

Mr. Sun changed into a homely dark green plain face and tucked his waist and waistband, and still tied his hair in a bun with a silver hairpin.

Qin Yining wore a white jacket and skirt, and her long hair was combed in a flat bun with ribbons.

The mother and daughter did not apply any makeup powder, but they all had the elegant and pleasant fragrance of jasmine flowers on their bodies.

That is the fragrance of jasmine dew from Jiaorongfang.

The old lady was both sour and angry, and she had only cried a while ago. At this time, her righteousness was not smooth, so she glared at the Sun family.

Don't go too far.

Sun's heart was aroused by the old lady's behavior, and just as she was about to speak, she felt Qin Yining pinched her arm. The Sun family immediately understood, took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, and came forward with Qin Yining to salute the old lady.

"My daughter-in-law has seen the old lady."

"The granddaughter greeted the old lady, and the old lady gave an order, and the mother came back quickly regardless of her body."

The old lady's heart was beating like a drum, and she snorted coldly: "Didn't you say you won't come back? First lied to me and said that you won't come, and now you are back again. You are clearly playing with me as an old woman!"

Sun bit her lip and lowered her head, her face flushed with anger.

Qin Yining bowed his knees and said: "Old lady, calm down, you are overthinking it. These days, when my mother is sick, she has also taken into account the need to avoid illness. Since the old lady loves her mother, how can we not know how to praise her."

"Smooth tongue, I can't tell you!" The old lady patted the table angrily.

Qin Yining pursed her lips aggrieved and lowered her head.

Qin Huaiyuan pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You go back first. Don't disturb mother's purity here."

"Yes." Mrs. Sun and Qin Yining followed their good manners and resigned.

Qin Huaiyuan also saluted: "Mother can rest in peace, and my son still has government affairs."

Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan was about to leave, the old lady said, "What do you plan to do about that broken snuff bottle..."

"Mother." Qin Huaiyuan covered the old lady's mouth and said in a low voice, "Why does my mother dare to shout about this kind of thing? You can pretend that this never happened!"

The old lady jumped in her heart.

She just wanted to get rid of herself, but she forgot that if this matter was revealed, it would affect the survival of the entire Qin family.

The old lady nodded with a pale face, and did not dare to make trouble again.

Qin Huaiyuan sighed and said: "The emperor has given a lot of things, and the queen mother has a lot of things. I didn't care when this thing was not equal to the reward of the heavenly family, and no one would take the initiative to ask us, you just do whatever you want. I don't know that's it."

The old lady nodded again and again, as well-behaved as a child.

Qin Huaiyuan saluted the old lady again and retired.

Watching Qin Huai go far away, the old lady said quietly, "Lujuan, do you think I did something wrong?"

When Qin mama heard the words, she nodded silently in her heart, but said on her face, "The old lady is also for her in-laws. What's wrong?"

The old lady shook her head and sighed, the gold-encrusted ruby ​​on her bun swayed, looking particularly dazzling against the candlelight.

"Actually, I should have pretended I didn't know about the snuff bottle at all, and shouldn't have asked Meng Ge'er. Meng Ge'er is very smart, maybe he could guess something, or he wouldn't talk to me like that."

It turns out that the old lady regrets this matter? !

Mother Qin was speechless for a while, so she could only choose what the old lady liked to listen to to comfort.

Qin Huaiyuan left the Cixiao Garden and did not immediately go to the outer courtyard. Instead, he returned to Xingning Garden first. As expected, Qin Yining sent Sun's back and stayed to chat with Sun, and did not leave.

Qin Huaiyuan sent his servants away, and when there were only three people left in the house, he asked, "Sister Yi, did you really break a snuff bottle today?"

Qin Yining nodded obediently, recounted the situation today, and finally said: "The old lady wanted to beat my mother because she wanted to come here, but I didn't expect that I would stop it, and the old lady would blow things away."

Qin Huaiyuan frowned and sighed, "Is that really the Queen Mother's snuff bottle?"

"Yes." Qin Yining smiled slyly, "It's the same style as the Queen Mother's snuff bottle."

Seeing her little fox-like expression, Qin Huaiyuan felt dumbfounded for a moment, and she figured out the cause and effect in an instant. She tapped Qin Yining's forehead, "You girl, you're so bad, even your grandmother dares to play tricks."

Qin Yining touched his forehead, which didn't hurt at all, and stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"Father calm down, daughter is not targeting the old lady. Presumably what the father heard about the snuff bottle is also different from what the daughter said. The daughter did this, but it was a harmless shock. Otherwise, when you are not at home. , isn't my mother going to suffer?"

Qin Huaiyuan looked at the Sun family gently.

Mrs. Sun was already shocked by the way the two got along. Seeing Qin Huaiyuan's look, she smiled awkwardly: "This...Master, don't get angry, it's all a bad idea from the concubine."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and waved: "I know, this idea must have come from Sister Yi. You don't have to excuse her. You are a kind person. Unlike Sister Yi, you are full of calculations."

Sun didn't know how to answer.

Qin Yining snorted, "Is the father complimenting his daughter?"

Qin Huaiyuan patted Qin Yining on the shoulder and couldn't help laughing.

Mama Jin, picking oranges, and Songlan also laughed along.

Cao Yuqing stood under the porch, listening to the laughter and laughter in the house, with a very calm expression on her face, she said loudly: "Master Hou, Madam, the maid and concubine came here to greet Madam."

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and then it was Qin Huaiyuan's indifferent voice: "Come in."

Cao Yuqing sorted out her mood and walked slowly through the door.
