Return of the Swallow

"Yes, old lady." Qin Huining and Miss Eight both stood up, bowed before quietly retreating.

All the way to the corridor, Qin Huining took Miss Eighth's hand and whispered: "Sister, do you know what the old lady is going to say?"

Miss Eighth remembered that the old lady had asked her to serve tea to Pang Xiao, and her face turned red. Thinking of Pang Xiao's unruly but handsome face, her face became even hotter.

Seeing Miss Eighth's appearance, Qin Huining felt like she had a suspicion in her heart, and an unspeakable jealousy and envy filled her bones.

She was originally the most favored daughter in the family. After enjoying such glory and wealth, now she is in a low place and can only watch others get happiness.

She was the same age as Qin Yining. Qin Yining was able to marry such a heroic and brave man, but she didn't even see the marriage, nor did her elders in the family make plans for her. How could she not hate and be jealous?

Qin Huining took a breath and spent a lot of effort not to let any dissatisfaction and unwillingness show on her face.

The repeated confrontations with Qin Yining in the past had long ago wiped out her good reputation in this family. Now even if Qin Yining is missing and no longer in this family, most of the people in the family still talk to Qin Yining. Especially Mrs. Sun, I have never seen a mother like her care so much about her daughter before, but since Qin Yining disappeared, Mrs. Sun has been crying all day long, not thinking about food and drinks, she has lost a lot of weight, and she chokes with sobs every now and then. Sorry daughter.

What Qin Huining hates to see the most right now is Sun's tearful face.

That would remind her that her mother, who once regarded her as a treasure, had abandoned her long ago.

She admitted that she had done something wrong.

But Mrs. Sun just abandoned her and lived in the same house all day long as if she couldn't see her. It was too heartless.

Miss Eight couldn't help but feel strange when she saw that Qin Huining ignored her for a long time. When she looked at Qin Huining and saw the unconcealable cruelty in her eyes, Miss Eight was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly turned pale.

Thinking of what Qin Huining had done in the past, Miss Eight took two steps back without leaving a trace and said, "I'm tired too. Sister Hui, let's go and have a good rest." After saying that, she bowed hastily, turned around and left.

Qin Huining gritted her teeth and after a while, she spat out, "You are a villain who follows the trend of others!"

However, after seeing too many things about red-topped white people, Qin Huining told herself,

She's already used to it.

Now that she knew that Qin Yining was missing, her family was very likely to send another daughter to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, and she had to make some plans for herself. She and Miss Eight are the only daughters of the right age in the family now. If she doesn't seize the opportunity to choose between the two, then God will laugh at her weakness.

While Qin Huining was meditating outside, the old lady had already taken Qin Huaiyuan's hand and said with sincerity: "Brother Meng, I know that Sister Yi is missing. You feel distressed and anxious. You are just such a girl." , if something like this happens, it’s okay to go to bed at home in a hurry. But you also have to think about our Qin family. "

When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he looked at the old lady intently, and after a while he asked: "What does mother mean?"

The old lady said: "Now that Sister Yi is missing, there is no girl to serve in Prince Zhongshun's palace. I think that Prince Zhongshun loves our Sister Yi very much, so he will treat our Qin family girl very much." I won’t hate it. I think it’s better to send Ba Yatou to be a good concubine. Although Ba Yatou is a concubine, she is pretty, kind, and has a predetermined temperament. Before Sister Yi came out of the palace, she was also the best with Ba Yatou. close.

"If Sister Yi comes back in the future, the two little sisters will be able to get along harmoniously. If Sister Yi... really has an accident, then the eighth girl will be promoted from her aunt to a stepmother, and she will secure her position as Princess Zhongshun. Our Qin family is also a big help."

The old lady smiled and took Qin Huaiyuan's hand: "This is our Qin family's business, Brother Meng, you can't just refuse without thinking because you feel sorry for Sister Yi."

Although the old lady was discussing with Qin Huaiyuan with a smile, she clearly had made up her mind.

The second lady said nothing, making it clear that she did not want to wade into troubled waters. After all, Miss Eight is the daughter of the third brother-in-law, and now the third brother-in-law has no mistress. The third master didn't say anything, and Second Grandma Han, the sister-in-law, didn't say anything either, and it was not her turn as the second aunt to speak.

On the other hand, Second Mistress Han smiled and said: "I think the old lady is being polite. My sister-in-law is a good and innocent girl, and my uncle also knows it. She will be a companion for Sister Yi in the future. The two sisters get along well." .”

When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately.

But Mrs. Sun on the side had already lost her patience and casually lifted the coffee table.

There was only a loud bang, cups and dishes fell to the floor, and the sound of breaking porcelain seemed to pierce people's eardrums, startling several people who were originally smiling and making small calculations.

The old lady stroked her chest with a blank look on her face.

The Second Madam and Second Grandma Han also took two steps back.

Mrs. Sun's face turned red with anger, and there was a violent bullying in her chest. She pointed at Old Taijun and Second Mistress Han, the corners of her lips twitching, and she was so furious that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

\u003e

\u003e But her eyes were red and her eyes were splitting, and even the sound of her breathing like a bellows coming from her throat made people feel eerie.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up, supported Mrs. Sun, and comforted her softly: "Okay, don't be angry. If you are angry, you will suffer the consequences. You have to take good care of yourself so that you can help Sister Yi in the future, right? ?”

Mrs. Sun looked at Qin Huaiyuan, the breath that couldn't come up or go down finally became clear, and tears suddenly came out.

Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly reached out and patted Sun's back gently.

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan actually comforting the shrew, the old lady's face suddenly fell.

"Meng Geer, you..."

"Mother."

Qin Huaiyuan gently interrupted what the old lady was about to say, and said tiredly: "In the future, please don't have any ideas about Sister Yi's family. Sister Hui's and Sister Bao's marriage will be over in the future. I will help with the arrangements. But the situation is tense now and it is not the time to discuss their marriage.

"As for being concubines and sisters serving one husband together, please mother not to mention it again. Sister Yi is living well now, and I only have her in my heart. Why do you, a grandmother, have to do such a thankless thing? ?”

The old lady didn't expect that she would be reprimanded by her son, and her eyes widened with anger, and she said in disbelief: "You, you say that my hard work is thankless? You are disgusted with me, an old woman!"

"Mother. The government is really nervous now. I am exhausted both physically and mentally outside. I no longer have the energy to take care of things in the inner house. Please save your mother some trouble and keep the status quo in the inner house for the time being. As for Sister Yi's marriage, no one can Don't even think about interfering. I can't pass this level."

Qin Huaiyuan said that and helped the tearful Sun out.

The old lady looked at the backs of Qin Huaiyuan and his wife as they went out, her face flushed with anger, and she beat the mattress hard.

"It's really contrary, it's contrary! When you marry a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother! This white-eyed wolf, an ungrateful bastard, I love him so much for no reason. He is the one I love most, and now he is actually refuting me for a dead girl! "

As the old lady spoke, she began to cry, crying that God was unfair, that her husband died early, that her son was unfilial, and that the whole world could not forgive her.

The Second Madam and Second Grandma Han were both helpless. They could not watch the old lady break down from crying, so they could only try to persuade her. But the more they tried to persuade her, the louder she cried. She would often look at the door through her fingers, as if she was in front of the door. Looking forward to Qin Huaiyuan coming back to appease him and admit his mistake.

Qin Huaiyuan listened to the voice coming from the old lady's room, as if he had not heard it, supported Mrs. Sun and said: "Don't take mother's words to heart, I can still handle Sister Yi's matter. I said no. , no one will bully our Sister Yi."

Mrs. Sun nodded and sobbed: "I can't bear with that child. I haven't had time to treat her properly. If he really has some shortcomings, how can I live?"

"No. Just rest assured. Sister Yi is a blessed child. Even if she encounters some setbacks, she will be able to turn disaster into good fortune. And I just got the news that Sister Yi is now alive. Tatar, live well. Stop thinking about it."

"Really?" Mrs. Sun forgot to shed tears and said in surprise: "Master, is what you said true? Didn't you say that deliberately to comfort me?"

"How could I deceive you?" Qin Huaiyuan pulled Sun back to the room, holding her shoulder and saying: "Although he is not a hero, he considers himself a gentleman, and I will not lie to you. "

"I know, I know. I'm just so happy! Sister Yi is alive, really alive?"

"Yes, she is really alive. Although she has encountered some troubles, don't worry. With me and my son-in-law here, she will be fine."

Qin Huaiyuan did not explain the specific matter to Mrs. Sun. Firstly, he was afraid that Mrs. Sun would worry, and secondly, because women would gossip. Some things needed to be kept secret and could not be talked about outside casually. Easily get into trouble.

Sun's tears turned into a smile, and she said: "As long as you live, it will be good. There is hope when you live. Our family has never done anything bad, and God will not be so cruel."

"Yes. So please stop crying. If you hurt yourself, if Sister Yi comes back and thinks I abused you, I can't tell you."

When Sun heard this, she immediately broke down in tears and smiled, lightly punched Qin Huaiyuan on the shoulder, and then leaned into Qin Huaiyuan's arms.

Qin Huaiyuan hugged Sun, but frowned worriedly where she couldn't see him.

%

The members of the Minuo tribe finally regained some energy after a night of repair.

Some of the leading figures in the clan had already told these people what Qin Yining had just said in a different way while chatting privately last night.

When they got up early in the morning, brothers Halbala and Chaganbala gathered the clansmen together again and gave another lecture.

Although the old, weak, sick and disabled feel uncertain and scared about the future, at least they will not feel abandoned.
