Qin Yining seemed to be shocked by Pang Xiao's anger. His watery eyes sparkled and reflected the light of the lanterns in the night, making him look pitiful.
Rouniang noticed that Qin Yining had loosened his grip on her foot and immediately got up. She didn't dare to fight back against Qin Yining in public, but she didn't hide the ridicule in her eyes when she looked at Qin Yining.
"Sister Rouniang, are you okay?" Xinche limped over to support Rouniang and turned back to look at Pang Xiao gratefully. His eyes seemed to say that if he hadn't come, they would have been killed by the "female devil" today.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had a natural tacit understanding. Although they knew what each other was thinking at this time, when he saw Qin Yining like this, he still felt a burst of heartache. He endured it and continued to reprimand, "Why are you staring at me? Do you dare to disagree with This King's words? "
The tears in Qin Yining's eyes were like the snow on the branches and fell down with this roar.
Lian Xiaozhou was so angry that she roared and rushed to Pang Xiao, punching and kicking him.
She was small in stature, compared to Pang Xiao, her arms and legs were even shorter. In addition, although her heart was filled with thoughts, her speech was not fluent. She wanted to curse, but she was unable to do so. She was so anxious that she cried out intermittently, "You bullied Jiejie! Bad guy! Bad guy! "
Qin Yining felt distressed when he saw Lian Xiaozhou so protective of him. He hurriedly pulled Lian Xiaozhou away from Pang Xiao's legs, held her in his arms, and hugged her apologetically to comfort her.
Pang Xiao was punched a few times by the little girl and saw Qin Yining hugging the child and crying. Although he knew that all this was done for the eyes of others, his heart still throbbed with pain.
"Crying? You dare to behave atrociously in This King's mansion and still have the face to cry? Do you think This King will spare you because of your tears? "
Qin Yining squatted on the ground and hugged Lian Xiaozhou. He buried his face in Lian Xiaozhou's shoulder, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Lian Xiaozhou wanted to scold Pang Xiao, but she couldn't. She wanted to hit her, but she knew that she couldn't win. Seeing Qin Yining like this, she also burst into tears.
Madam Ma, who had been stunned for a long time, finally regained her senses. Seeing that Pang Xiao had "bullied" Qin Yining so pitifully, although she was puzzled as to why he suddenly changed his attitude, her love for Qin Yining was real. She immediately wanted to rush forward to stand up for Qin Yining.
Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu, who had unknowingly walked to Madam Ma's side, pulled her back in time.
Yao Chenggu pinched her arm suggestively.
There was naturally a tacit understanding between an old married couple. Madam Ma turned back and saw Yao Chenggu's gaze. She hesitated and didn't move.
Pang Xiao had already said in a deep voice, "Come, take her back to Trace Snow Garden and lock her up! Without This King's orders, no one is allowed to let her out, and no one is allowed to visit her! "
"Yes!" A female servant immediately responded and came forward to help Qin Yining up. She also pulled Lian Xiaozhou up. She was held on both sides as if she was afraid that she would run away, so she was escorted away.
Pang Xiao frowned and stood with his hands behind his back. He coldly watched as Qin Yining was taken away. It wasn't until his figure disappeared around the corner that he turned back to look coldly at Rouniang.
"Why are you here?"
At this time, Rouniang's hair was messy and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She looked really pitiful. When she heard Pang Xiao's question, she timidly looked up. Unexpectedly, she met Pang Xiao's sharp narrowed eyes. She immediately felt as if someone had stabbed her heart with an ice arrow. She was so scared that she lowered her head and trembled.
"Replying, replying to Wang Ye, I just came out for a walk."
"It's already dark. You came out to enjoy the night scenery?" Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows. His voice was slow and gentle.
However, the oppression in his voice made the servants on the side keep quiet out of fear.
Facing Pang Xiao, Rouniang was already trembling like a sieve. She couldn't spit out half a word.
Seeing this, Xinche could only bite the bullet and say, "Replying to Wang Ye, it's true. Sister Rouniang said that she wanted to take a walk after dinner, so we came out for a walk. Unexpectedly, we met Miss Qin."
"Did she ask you?"
Xinche was stunned, "What?"
"Did This King ask you?" Pang Xiao squinted at Xinche. His expression seemed to have seen through all the thoughts in Xinche's mind.
Xinche was scared and ashamed. She lowered her head in panic.
Pang Xiao said coldly, "Since you are the people bestowed by Your Majesty, you should think more before you do things. Don't lose your dignity. Don't think that because Your Majesty bestowed you to This King, you are superior to others in the mansion. If This King finds that you don't abide by your duties and commit outrages, This King can send your corpses back to Your Majesty. If you don't believe me, you can try! "
"Yes, I don't dare. I don't dare!" Rouniang's voice trembled so much that it didn't sound like a human's voice.
Pang Xiao waved his hand.
Rouniang and Xinche immediately ran away with their personal maids as if they had been pardoned.
When peace was restored, Pang Xiao turned around and walked towards the Pine Crane Hall.
Mrs. Ma wanted to ask, but was pulled back by Yao Chenggu.
Everyone entered the room in silence.
After instructing someone to guard outside and making sure that no one was approaching, Pang Xiao said, "You scared Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother just now, right? That's my fault. "
Mrs. Ma anxiously lowered her voice and said, "What were you doing just now? You actually had red eyebrows and green eyes in front of Yi Yi. How awe-inspiring can you be when you're using force on a woman?! You've really lived for more than twenty years in a dog's stomach! Have you forgotten the principles that your grandmother taught you?! Seeing Yi Yi crying like that, even if you don't feel sorry for her, I do! "
"Mother, don't get agitated. Dai Fu did it on purpose." Yao Chenggu held Mrs. Ma's hand, feeling a little helpless against his impulsive mother.
Mrs. Ma said, "Even if you did it on purpose, you still made Sister Yi cry!"
"Yes, Grandma." Pang Xiao recalled his Qin Yining appearance just now and felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
"I pretended to snatch Sister Yi into the family outside in order to protect the Family Qin's future. Now that Sister Yi has entered the family, if my attitude towards her is different from what I did that day, I'm afraid there will be a lot of speculations if outsiders hear about it.
"The ten women bestowed by Your Majesty are usually quite dutiful. Sister Yi hasn't come out to greet us for so many days, but she suddenly came out today. There must be something fishy about it, so I deliberately put on a show with Sister Yi in order to deceive the eyes of the people in our family."
Mrs. Ma was not stupid. She understood everything as soon as Pang Xiao said it. She frowned and thought for a moment, then finally punched the kang a few times. "I'm so aggrieved! I can't live freely in my own family! "
Wasn't it aggrieved? How could Pang Xiao not feel aggrieved?
But now that the situation was forced, even if he was aggrieved, he had to continue living his life.
"Dai Fu, secretly go and see Miss Qin later and comfort her a little. Don't make her feel uncomfortable. That girl is unlucky to be involved with you. "Yao Chenggu took out his tobacco pipe and stuffed it into the pot with his rough hands.
Pang Xiao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he said indignantly, "Grandfather, what are you saying? Am I not good enough to her?"
"Don't be indignant! Back then, what did I want when I followed your grandfather? Wasn't it because your grandfather was a dutiful person? How could he give me a peaceful life if he knew his place? You, on the other hand, don't rest all day. You're either fighting outside and not at home, or you're hanging your head on your belt when you're home!
"Who is your wife? She has to worry about you to death, and if she's not careful, she'll be implicated by you! You say that you're good enough to her, but doesn't she have to help you plan and put on a show? Even if I don't blame you, it's tiring enough for Lass Yi to be with you! "
Mrs. Ma's scolding struck a chord in Pang Xiao's heart. Even if others didn't say it out loud, he also felt the same way.
His situation was indeed difficult, and Qin Yining had no choice but to go through the difficulties with him. He could only promise her his unwavering sincerity, but he couldn't promise her absolute stability.
What did a woman want?
Even a "heroine" like her grandmother, who ventured into the pugilistic world when she was young, would rather marry a chef in the end for a stable life.
Qin Yining had been lonely since she was a child. She wouldn't like to live a challenging life, would she?
Pang Xiao faced his shortcomings for the first time after being scolded.
Although he had thousands of good points, this one shortcoming was enough to give Qin Yining a reason not to be with him.
Seeing Pang Xiao's dark face and his expression as if he was about to bite someone, Mrs. Ma was also angered. She glared at him and was about to take off her shoes. "What? You're still not convinced? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death with the sole of my shoe! "
"Hey, hey! Mother! "When the Yao Clan saw Mrs. Ma taking off her shoes, they hurriedly reached out to pull her back.
Mrs. Ma didn't have her feet bound. She had a pair of big feet. The soles of her shoes were hand-sewn by the women. They were hard and thick, and could leave a red mark on a person's body. After all, the Yao Clan loved their son dearly. How could they bear to let him be beaten?
Yao Chenggu had already lit a cigarette. He smacked his lips with a smile and looked like he was watching the show from the sidelines.
Pang Xiao obediently let Mrs. Ma hit him twice with the sole of her shoe. Then, he said helplessly, "Grandmother, calm down. I'll sit here for a while. Later, I'll avoid people and go to see Sister Yi. Is that okay?"
"Yes. That's more like it. " Mrs. Ma's temper came and went quickly. Seeing that Pang Xiao was so big and was Wang Ye, and he was still as obedient as when he was a child, she felt very comforted. Thinking about it carefully, she couldn't blame him for what happened outside. She secretly cursed the treacherous emperor in her heart.

When Li Qitian heard the spy report the details of what happened in Pang Xiao's residence, he asked, "In your opinion, Prince Zhongshun really doesn't care about the Family Qin girl?"
The spy was dressed in black. She had a delicate figure and her face was wrapped in a black cloth. Her voice was female.
"Replying to Your Majesty, in my opinion, Prince Zhongshun also likes the Family Qin girl. That woman was born with a heavenly beauty that could cause the downfall of cities and countries. It's understandable that heroes find it hard to resist the charms of beauties. However, in Prince Zhong Shun's heart, the hatred for his father should be heavier. Otherwise, he wouldn't love and hate the daughter of the Qin family. "
"Yes." Li Qitian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After carefully analyzing for a moment, he finally relaxed and smiled, "I know that a person like him can't let go of the hatred for his father. You did a good job. "
"Thank you for Your Majesty's praise. It's my duty. There's one more thing. In the past two days, Princess Royal of Anyang has visited Prince Zhongshun in the mansion for two consecutive days. Prince Zhongshun was not in the mansion the first time. The second time, he deliberately avoided her. Today, Princess Royal of Anyang returned with disappointment and anger."
Li Qitian nodded mysteriously and said, "I see. You continue to do your own thing. "
