"Wang Ye, don't be angry." Xie Yue was really subdued by Pang Xiao's outburst of anger.
As an aide, she must know the temperament of the master like the back of her hand.
Xie Yue knew that Pang Xiao was not as cold and violent as others thought. On the contrary, Pang Xiao was a very shrewd person. This could be seen from how he could always meet different people with the most appropriate appearance.
To put it bluntly, whether it was his violent and perverse nature, his indifference and alienation, or his gentleness and friendliness, it was rarely because of his own emotional needs, but because of the situation and the needs of those people.
And now, pointing at the front hall and cursing in anger, it could be seen that Pang Xiao was really angry.
For a person who was good at enduring and rarely got angry to lose control of his emotions because of such a thing, it was enough to see the position of the Family Qin girl in Pang Xiao's heart.
Pang Xiao was so angry that his face and ears turned red. He pointed at the front hall and cursed, "That old hag, I knew she was not a good person! Back in the Yan dynasty, she treated Sister Yi like an outsider, as if Sister Yi was not her biological granddaughter. Now that the country has been destroyed, she still doesn't stop. She even schemed against Sister Yi! That old hag, This King will kill her and be done with it! "
In anger, he pulled out the sword hanging on the wall and rushed out.
"Wang Ye, you can't do that! Wang Ye! " Xie Yue was scared silly as he saw this. He stretched out his arms like an old hen, and tried to stop Pang Xiao. However, Pang Xiao was tall and strong. Moreover, his martial strength was outstanding. So, how could Xie Yue block him?
Xie Yue stretched her neck and shouted, "Someone come, someone come!"
Huzi, who was outside the room, heard the noise and hurried in. He saw Pang Xiao and Xie Yue playing a game of "eagle catching chicks". Pang Xiao dashed left and right with his sword, but was stopped by the "old hen". He could not help but be stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he went forward to stop them.
"Wang Ye, you can't do that. You are still in danger. Your Majesty has focused on recruiting the Family Qin. Now that Your Majesty has not made arrangements, if you kill the Family Qin's Matriarch first, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xie Yue was anxious and sweaty as she tried her best to persuade him.
At this moment, Pang Xiao regained his rationality. He knew that Xie Yue was right. He was walking on thin ice now. If he really did something to the Family Qin's Matriarch, he did not know what Li Qitian would do.
Seeing that Pang Xiao finally stopped moving, Xie Yue and Huzi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Xiao threw the sword aside and pondered for a moment with a sullen face. He said, "This matter is not simple. Previously, our people went to investigate. After the Family Qin's Matriarch was scattered, they did not come back with Your Majesty's team. Instead, they came back alone. When they entered the city, the Family Qin's Matriarch and the others were dressed shabbily, no different from beggars. I ordered people to investigate, but did not find out what they had experienced. Now that Grand Tutor Qin and his wife are missing, Matriarch Qin suddenly wants to send Sister Yi to the consort selection after such a bleak situation … "
At this point, Pang Xiao's eyes showed that he was thinking.
Xie Yue also frowned and said, "Although I don't know the reason behind it, I feel that it is very strange when I connect the dots."
"Yes." Huzi also said, "That Matriarch Qin is not a strong-willed person. Today, she actually dared to take her daughter-in-law to stay in our mansion and not leave. She is not afraid of facing Wang Ye. Could it be that someone is backing her up? Otherwise, where did she get the courage to do this? "
Huzi's words reminded Pang Xiao and Xie Yue.
The two of them looked at each other. Xie Yue patted Huzi's shoulder and said, "As expected, heroes come from the young! Yes, what you said is very likely. "
Huzi scratched his head and smiled honestly. "I'm just guessing casually. It's not accurate."
"Your guess is very reasonable." Pang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll take Sister Yi to have a look and find out the situation."
"That's good. Miss Qin is extremely smart. After all, they are grandfather and grandson, so they can talk freely. Perhaps Miss Qin can find out useful information. "
Pang Xiao ordered someone to call Qin Yining out. After he was dressed properly, he waited at the Chuihua Gate.
Not long after, he saw Qin Yining slowly walk over accompanied by Ji Yun.
Qin Yining was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and a honey-colored cotton-padded cloak. Her long hair was tied up in a loose bun. She didn't wear any jewelry or make up. She was dressed very simply.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Where did you find this old jacket?"
"I asked Xianyun to help me find it. My grandmother is very snobbish. If I dress a little better, she will think that I weigh a lot in front of you. This is simpler, and the impact on her will be greater. "
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "Later, you can ask in detail why they suddenly asked you to participate in the selection."
Qin Yining nodded slightly and said with a bitter smile, "Actually, I know without asking in detail. Now that my father is missing, the Family has no backbone. It's possible that the old madam wants to use me to exchange for a future for the family. It's just that I don't know where they are so confident that if I participate in the selection, I will definitely be selected. "
"Moreover, I'm not very talented or beautiful. If I enter the palace, I might not be favored at all. The strength that I can contribute to the family is also very limited. They would rather offend you and forcefully send me into the palace. Moreover, they might not get much in return. I always feel that their method is not reliable and does not conform to the old madam's usual style."
Pang Xiao shook his head. "You are too modest."
What's not very talented or beautiful?
He was a man and understood a man's mentality the best. If Qin Yining can enter the palace, even if Your Majesty doesn't really love her, she will definitely become a favored concubine due to her liking for beautiful things. Moreover, with her intelligence, if she works hard in the palace, no one will be able to do anything to her. Her meteoric rise will be just around the corner.
For a moment, Pang Xiao even felt that only the most honorable position in the world was worthy of her.
However, she must be his and could only be his!
As the two talked, they arrived at the front courtyard. Pang Xiao squeezed her hand that was hidden under the cloak. Then, his face turned cold and he stepped on the stairs first.
Qin Yining and Ji Yun took two steps back and timidly followed Pang Xiao into the main hall.
Old Madam and Second Madam's waists were already sore from sitting. They ate too much tea and used the latrine twice. They also ate some snacks for lunch to fill their stomachs. However, they were impatient from waiting.
Just as the two were complaining in a low voice, the main door opened and Pang Xiao entered first.
Compared to when he was in the Dayan court, this person who was dressed in brocade and had a disdainful expression made people feel more fearful.
Old Madam and Second Madam both stood up and stood to the side.
Pang Xiao didn't look sideways and didn't even bother to look at the two. He went straight to the main seat and sat down. He said coldly, "I heard that you two are quite bold to dare to make a scene in my Wang Estate. You said that you won't leave until you hand over the person and that you will let Your Majesty decide?"
Old Madam was so scared that her face turned pale. She shook her head repeatedly. "No such thing. We are in Wang Ye's Estate. How would we dare to behave atrociously? Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. "
"Misunderstanding?" Pang Xiao sneered. "Then the matter of letting This King's maidservant participate in the consort selection is also a misunderstanding?"
"Maidservant?" Old Madam was very surprised.
Pang Xiao snorted. "The daughter of the enemy is being a maidservant in This King's Estate to repay the blood debt that you two owed. Don't tell me that she has been wronged? If she doesn't become a maidservant, do you think that your granddaughter is a noble and wants to be a wangfei? "
This sentence made Old Madam and Second Madam so embarrassed that their faces and ears turned red. They did have some fantasies. If Qin Yining could charm Pang Xiao and make Pang Xiao treat Qin Yining as well as he did in Dayan, then the Family Qin would also be able to receive some care from Pang Xiao. Even if Qin Yining was sent to the palace, Pang Xiao would pay less attention and wouldn't make things difficult for the Family Qin, right?
But now, this fantasy had been completely shattered. When the Family Qin came to the capital, they absolutely had no relatives and no foundation. Now, they didn't dare to count on Pang Xiao to be their backer. Their future days would probably be difficult.
Old Madam turned to look at Qin Yining and said in a low voice, "You lass, did you not serve Wang Ye well? Is that why Wang Ye is angry?"
This sentence made everyone present frown. Even Second Madam, who came with Old Madam, felt that it was extremely inappropriate.
By asking this, did she think that Qin Yining was Pang Xiao's concubine?
Qin Yining's face darkened. Ever since the disaster and starvation, she no longer had any illusions about Old Madam's character. Now, she loathed her to the extreme and made up her mind to treat her as an outsider in the future.
Therefore, Qin Yining said without any trace of politeness, "Old Madam is so awe-inspiring."
"Wretched lass, you still dare to talk back in front of Wang Ye?"
Qin Yining looked coldly at Old Madam and said in a cold voice, "Old Madam is getting old, and her mind is becoming more and more muddled. Regardless of whether I serve Wang Ye as a maidservant or enter the palace to serve His Majesty in the Consort Selection, Old Madam's goal is to hope that I can help the family. Is it really good for you to anger me now? "
Old Madam came to her senses with just one sentence, and her expression immediately turned ugly. Just now, she did deliberately step on Qin Yining because she wanted to maintain her status and regain some face.
Second Madam secretly thought that Old Madam was ignorant and said, "So, Sister Yi has already agreed to participate in the Consort Selection? Then you should resign from Wang Ye now. The Consort Selection will be held in the coming year, and we should prepare well. "
As Second Madam spoke, her eyes couldn't help but glance in Pang Xiao's direction. When she saw that Pang Xiao was only focused on eating tea and didn't pay attention to them at all, she sighed in relief.
Qin Yining said, "You want me to participate in the Consort Selection? Sure, but you have to tell me whose idea it was first. After our family was separated, how did you separate from my father? Where are my parents now? "
Old Madam and Second Madam looked at each other, and Second Madam said, "Sister Yi, we'll talk about this when you return with us. Now is not the place to talk. "
"If you don't explain it clearly, I won't go with you. Moreover, it's not up to me to decide whether I stay or go. "
"You won't go?" Old Madam raised her voice again. "If you don't want to go, don't tell me you're willing to lower yourself and serve men here!"
Qin Yining stared coldly at Old Madam. If this person wasn't her father's mother, she really wanted to kick her out of the door!
However, Pang Xiao had already made a move. The lid of Clear Skies after a Rain shattered at Old Madam's feet in the next moment.
