Qin Huaiyuan left with the Sun Clan and went straight to the Shuoren Study.
When old madam thought of Qin Huaiyuan's angry appearance just now and even said that he would move out for Qin Yining, she felt an indescribable grievance in her heart. She grabbed Second Madam's hand and cried again.
She used to like her clever and sweet-tongued youngest daughter-in-law the most. Now that her youngest daughter-in-law had passed away, old madam's trusted aide had become Second Madam, who was good at listening.
In short, she still looked down on the Sun Clan the most.
When Second Master and Third Master saw old madam holding onto her daughter-in-law and criticizing their eldest sister-in-law, they looked at each other and left.

In the Shuoren Study, Sun Clan members wiped their tears and helped Qin Yining pack up his luggage with their maidservants. They talked about today's situation while chatting, which made Qiu Lu and Bing Tang very angry.
Qin Huaiyuan called Ji Yun to talk in the courtyard. After he explained the situation to Ji Yun in detail, he said, "Sister Yi is living in another courtyard. Although there are 100 Daoist nuns living with her, they are still strangers. Moreover, His Majesty's meaning is very clear. Sister Yi is living in her own courtyard and is separated from those people. Therefore, I am very worried about her safety. "
Ji Yun was smart and understood immediately. "Marquis is worried that His Majesty will visit from time to time?"
Qin Huaiyuan nodded.
If His Majesty visited, it would be hard to predict what would happen.
Ji Yun was so angry that her face turned red. She really wished that she could tell Wang Ye and ask Wang Ye to directly kill that dog Emperor!
Qin Huaiyuan continued, "Also, Sister Yi is living alone in another courtyard. It's obvious that they will be a target. If someone tries to assassinate her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle. I will go back and ask His Majesty to send more guards. As for Sister Yi's side, I will have to trouble you and Young Master Mu. "
Ji Yun was overwhelmed by the favor. She saluted and said, "Marquis, you must not be so courteous. Nubi really does not deserve it. This servant is following orders to protect Miss, and this servant is doing so willingly. "
Ji Yun was full of admiration and respect for Qin Huaiyuan's conduct. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, "Marquis can rest assured about Miss's safety. A few days ago, something happened in the manor and Wang Ye was scared out of his wits. He blamed himself endlessly and specially sent four of his Jinghu Wei over. Previously, when Miss was living in the manor, the four Jinghu Wei were always around. "
"Jinghu Wei is Wang Ye's personal bodyguard. They are elites selected from the Tiger Army, and each of them is an expert who can take on ten people at once. Since Miss is staying in the Imperial Residence, the four of them will probably think of a way to disguise themselves and go there. As for Young Master Mu, he is a person of Jianghu and a new face. If he stays by Miss's side, he won't attract any attention. That's why Wang Ye kept him in the open. "
"Young Master Mu's martial arts are much better than Jinghu Wei's. Let me tell you, even if our Wang Ye uses all of his strength, I'm afraid he can only fight to a draw with Young Master Mu, who is in a leisurely state. Young Master Mu is also a kind and honest person. That's why Wang Ye felt assured and asked him to help."
Qin Huaiyuan nodded.
Although all of this was within his expectations, when he heard Ji Yun say it, he still couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "So Little Wang Ye has arranged everything properly. I've also troubled him. "
Ji Yun said with a smile, "Wang Ye is sincere to Miss. How could he not be attentive?"
"Since that's the case, I can rest assured that Sister Yi will live in the Imperial Side Courtyard." Qin Huaiyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go and have an audience with His Majesty later. I'll send some guards over to Yi 'er. You can call the Ferocious Tiger Guards and blend in with the guards I've chosen. This way, it'll be more convenient to do things openly. As for their identities, just say that they're martial artists that I've hired from Jianghu with a large sum of money. If anyone asks in detail, tell them not to say anything more. Tell those who are curious to come and ask me directly. "
"Yes, Marquis Ye is thoughtful. This can't be better."
Ji Yun was full of praise for Qin Huaiyuan's actions. It was precisely because she had such a smart, decisive, and knowledgeable father that her Miss could be so outstanding, right?
While the two were talking, the Sun Clan had already finished packing their luggage. Bing Tang and Qiu Lu had also loaded their daily necessities into the carriage.
Qin Huaiyuan ordered people to prepare the carriage. Together with the Sun Clan, they transported Qin Yining's maidservants and daily necessities to the Side Courtyard.
The Imperial Side Courtyard was located in the inner city of the capital. It wasn't far from the Imperial Palace. It was built in the northwest direction of the Imperial Palace, facing the lake. It was a very magnificent garden.
When they entered the Side Courtyard, the first thing that entered their eyes was a dark green lake. A white marble arch bridge crossed Feiling Lake. On the opposite side of the lake, there were two green mountains with pavilions, terraces, and pagodas. With their backs against the green mountains and their faces facing the clear water, they looked very luxurious. An extremely luxurious garden was built around the lake. A white marble path meandered between the flowers and green grass. A gentle breeze blew, and the willows on the lake swayed gently. Birds circled in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Sun Clan looked at the scenery outside the carriage and said sadly in a low voice, "As expected of the Imperial Side Courtyard. Although the scenery is beautiful, isn't it like a golden cage for Sister Yi?"
"Since things have come to this point, we can only rely on Sister Yi to adapt to the situation. She is a smart child. I'm sure she can handle these things well, "Qin Huaiyuan said.
"I hope so. Sister Yi acts like you. It's only because she's like you that I can rest assured. " Sun Clan shook her head, "I'm useless as a mother. I can't give my daughter a good life. Not only did I not treat her well in the past, I often made her angry and misunderstood her. Before my mother and sister-in-law left, they especially told me some things. If my mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Sister Yi had helped me deal with so many troubles behind my back. I'm really ashamed of this child. "
As Sun Clan spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks again. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe them away.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed and comforted her, "There's still a long way to go. This crisis will pass one day. We can only look forward to the future. Are you worried that you won't be able to treat this child well?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun sniffled and stopped crying.
When they arrived at the luxurious pavilion, the group could clearly see the magnificence of the building. Not to mention a hundred Daoist nuns, it could even accommodate three hundred more.
At this moment, there were already Daoist nuns walking around inside. There were also palace servants decorating the front hall, changing the hall into a Daoist temple. Everyone was busy in full swing.
Qin Huaiyuan led the group to inform the head eunuch in charge. They bypassed the courtyard where the front hall was located and entered the Yin and Yang Sect. After walking a section of the mountain path, they arrived at the rear courtyard that was already built on the mountain.
The scenery here was very good. Because of the high elevation, the view was also very wide. Guards had been arranged in front of the rear courtyard. Ordinary people were not allowed to come up the mountain. As a result, Qin Huaiyuan had to spend a lot of effort to persuade the guards to let them pass.
The group of people entered the Chuihua Gate and arrived at the courtyard. What they saw was a large and spacious white marble platform. Layers of purple flowers hung down from the flourishing wisteria, decorating the second floor of the palace behind it, making it look extremely luxurious.
Qin Yining was dressed in white with a honey-colored jacket draped over her shoulders. She was sitting on a rocking chair with Er Bai in her arms. She leaned against the railing and looked at the scenery below. Two palace maids and two eunuchs stood behind her, one on her left and one on her right.
"Sister Yi." Qin Huaiyuan saw his daughter's leisurely appearance and finally relaxed. He couldn't help but find it funny. "Is the scenery here good?"
Hearing the sound, Qin Yining turned around and saw that her father and mother had come with her maidservant. She stood up happily. Although the joy in her eyes was about to overflow, she still saluted first in a steady manner.
