Return of the Swallow

Thinking of Mrs. Dingguo, Qin Yining couldn't help but smile on the corners of his eyes, and even his eyes softened.

"I haven't actually contacted you during this time. But when my grandma handed over the Qingtian League to me and led the whole family to the south, she told me her plan. It's not like she didn't have people left in the old capital. Let me If I have any difficulties, I can contact you."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da was filled with emotion, and couldn't help saying in admiration: "Duke Dingguo has a high foresight and is always good at planning, which is really admirable."

Qin Yining nodded in agreement: "Grandma not only has brains, but also courage. It would be great if I could be like grandma."

Qin Yining will never forget the tragedy of the Sun family when the Dingguo mansion was confiscated. When the female family members lost hope, Mrs. Dingguo not only became their backbone, led the female family members to survive, and even joined the Qingtian League , became the leader of the alliance, and even avenged the sons of the Sun family.

Qin Yining naturally didn't want anything to happen to the Pang family.

But Pang Xiao's current position is really not much different from the Sun family who was once superficially smoldering.

Qin Yining was very worried, fearing that something would happen to his family, Pang Xiao, or that he would not have the courage and perseverance to support the entire inner house.

So Mrs. Dingguo has always been Qin Yining's role model.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da laughed, "Why does the princess have to be so self-effacing? Aren't you just like Mrs. Dingguo now?"

"I'm still a long way off. I'm not as strong as my grandmother."

"But you are only twenty-eight years old, Mrs. Dingguo may not have your ability at your age."

Qin Yining smiled and waved her hands, and she felt ashamed of Master Zhong's praise.

Obviously, Qin Yining didn't have that much confidence in himself.

"There is something I need to ask you to go there yourself."

"Princess just follow orders."

Qin Yining approached Zhong Da's shopkeeper, and whispered: "Go and look for it, is there a Zhengji cloth shop in the old capital? If you find it, go in and find the shopkeeper, and say that Zheng's granddaughter wants to find her grandmother." , something to discuss."

Shopkeeper Zhong immediately understood that Mrs. Ding Guogong's maiden name was Zheng.

"yes,

I'm going out now. "

Qin Yining nodded with a smile: "You can take someone you trust with you, and pay attention to changing your attire so that no one will find out."

Shopkeeper Zhong immediately nodded knowingly, "Yes, I understand."

When shopkeeper Zhong Da went out to look for Zheng Jibuzhuang, Qin Yining went back to the inner room to nurse the child.

Brother Zhao and Brother Han have different temperaments.

Brother Zhao is relatively quiet and doesn't make a lot of noise. He spends more time sleeping than Brother Han. Even when he wakes up, he just keeps his eyes wide open and looks around curiously. He played with the long hair in front of him, and the little red mole between his eyebrows made his small face as cute as a doll in New Year pictures.

Brother Han is more lively and loves to act like a baby. Even if the nanny is with him all the time, he still has to babble non-stop to attract the attention of the people around him. When seeing Qin Yining, she would even grin, the saliva flowed out of the smile, and it was very haunting, and she refused to get off in Qin Yining's arms.

The two children were both carved in pink and jade, Qin Yining leaned on the soft couch, teased one and then the other, and stretched out a hand, one of the two children held onto her finger, the other held her light blue Colored brocade cuffs.

Qin Yining turned her head and said to Bingtang with a smile, "Look at them."

Bingtang handed the warm handkerchief to Qin Yining, and then leaned on the edge of the bed to look at the two infant children.

Qin Yining gently wiped the little hands for the child, and sighed softly.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the lord likes daughters, and next time I will try to add a younger sister to Brother Zhao and Brother Han."

Bingtang was speechless for a while, her lips moved, and she just nodded in the end: "There will be. The days to come are still long."

"Yeah, it's still growing." Qin Yining handed back the handkerchief to Bingtang, and continued to lie prone on the couch to tease the two children: "Brother Zhao, do you like little sister? Where's Brother Han?"

Bing Tang dragged the cold handkerchief back down, stood under the porch and took a deep breath of the cold air, holding it for a while before spitting it out.

The princess didn't know that the prince had already decided not to have children anymore.

Bingtang touched the porcelain bottle in her sleeve pocket, and gradually clenched her fingers tightly.

The medicine that Pang Xiao wanted has been made. If this medicine is taken, it is unknown whether they will have the chance to have another child in the future.

In Bingtang's view, sterilizing a man is as cruel as depriving a woman of her reproductive rights.

Maybe she can weaken the drug's properties, do some more research, and make a short-term sterilization drug, so that in the future, when the princess is older, her body is more mature, and her physique is better, the prince is still in his prime. A daughter is also possible.

Thinking about this, Bingtangdang even made up his mind and immediately planned to reconfigure it.

Thinking of Pang Xiao, who was worried about Qin Yining's suffering during childbirth, and planned to completely cut off the "hidden dangers" from himself without resorting to external forces, and even refused to have concubines and concubines. She was so affectionate that the only bystander who knew the truth felt moved.

For the sake of Pang Xiao's health and the future of their husband and wife, Bing Tang decided to try again.

Qin Yining naturally didn't know what Bingtang was doing out there, she was always generous to those around her, Bingtang, Jiyun, Xianyun, Qiulu and Lian Xiaoyu all took shifts on their own. Bingtang is often immersed in medical research, so she never asks how they take turns.

Qin Yining stayed with the two children for a while, and after a while there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a servant girl replied, "Princess, Master Zhong is here."

Qin Yining sat up straight in surprise, "So fast?"

He walked quickly to the front hall, and as soon as he lifted the bead curtain hanging from the floor-to-ceiling cover, he saw the shopkeeper Zhong standing in the middle of the floor with a strange expression.

The person who was full of vigor and a smile on his face when he went out just now has a pale face and reddish eyes.

"What's the matter? Things are not going well?" Qin Yining walked up worriedly.

Shopkeeper Zhong nodded, his throat was as dry as sandpaper, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat before he said with difficulty: "Princess, something happened in Zheng Jibuzhuang."

Qin Yining's pupils shrank slightly, "What happened?"

"In the cloth shop, white hanging vegetables were criticized, spirit banners were hung up, and the guys who came and went were all dressed in sackcloth and mourning. Their shopkeepers were not there when I went, so I don't know what happened. After careful inquiry, all the guys in their family were The mouth is very strict, and nothing can be found out.

"Later, I went around to the backyard of their shop, and the spirit flags were also fluttering. After watching for a long time, I finally found an old farmer who delivered food to them. It is said that their old boss passed away."

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he swayed, grabbed the armrest of the chair beside him, forced himself not to fall, and kept calm and said: "You said their boss passed away? The boss they said is Who?"

Shopkeeper Zhong's face was not much stronger than Qin Yining's. He looked at Qin Yining with some horror in his eyes, shook his head and said, "Princess, I, I'm not sure."

Qin Yining slowly sat on the armchair behind him, the knuckles of his hands clenched on the armrests of the armchair gradually turned white, his eyes were fixed on Master Zhong, and he said in a deep voice, "No, it won't be grandma's. Grandma Although she is old. But she is in a strong body, so she should be fine, she will be fine..."

The voice became lower and lower, and finally fell on the lips, like a mosquito.

She didn't believe that someone as strong as Mrs. Dingguo would be surprised.

But as people get older, birth, old age, sickness and death are common sense, no matter how powerful grandma is, she is not an immortal fairy. When such a big incident happened to Duke Dingguo's mansion back then, who could bear it? The husband, son, and grandson all died overnight, and the future of the family's weak and weak women needs to be carried on their own shoulders. Even a hard-nosed person will not be able to bear it, right?

Qin Yining's nose felt sore for a while, and a layer of mist clouded her eyes. She clenched her lower lip tightly to keep the tears from falling.

Don't panic, don't mess up.

Now that Pang Xiao is not by her side, the whole family is waiting for her to take charge of the overall situation. If she messes up first, what will the others do? She still has two children to protect!

After several deep breaths, Qin Yining suppressed the surging tears.

Now that the situation is unclear, she must find out for herself before she can rest assured.

It's just that no one can find out that she is involved with Zheng Jibu Zhuang.

Thinking about this, Qin Yining stood up and said, "Master Zhong is here for a while, let me change my clothes, and you and I will go and have a look later."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Zhong nodded heavily, seeing that Qin Yining's demeanor was as calm as usual, without the slightest panic, and still full of confidence, shopkeeper Zhong felt a little relieved.

In any case, as long as you don't mess up your position, everything will be easy to handle.

Qin Yining went to the inner room and told Xianyun, "Get my men's clothes ready." Then he looked at Bingtang, "I'll go out for a while, and the two children will be handed over to you."

"yes."

"Princess, don't worry."

Qin Yining was so solemn, and everyone became anxious. They cleared up their minds of laughing and sitting together just now, and helped Qin Yining change up together.

With a white cloth around her chest, a wide Taoist robe, and a cloak with a sable fur collar, and a mole on the corner of her left eye, with only a few changes, Qin Yining became a soft and handsome young man , buried half of her face in the velvet collar, if it wasn't for someone she knew very well standing in front of her, no one would have recognized her.

Qin Yining only brought Jing Zhe with her, and went out to find shopkeeper Zhong Da, then left through the back door, went out to take a car, and went straight to Zheng Ji Buzhuang.

The atmosphere on the carriage was extremely tense, the shopkeeper Zhong Da had known Mrs. Dingguo for a long time, and their relationship between master and servant was also good. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen now, thinking of all the past, Shopkeeper Zhong felt very uncomfortable.

Qin Yining tried to calm down, but he was already worried, and he couldn't show his panic too obviously, he could only worry in his heart.

Jing Zhe sensed the atmosphere inside and urged the driver to speed up.

Not long after, following the fingerprints of shopkeeper Zhong Da, he arrived at a not-so-busy market, and found Zhengjibuzhuang in the corner with the gate closed.
