How could old madam have thought that Pang Xiao would actually want to hit her? She was already so old. If she was really hit in the wangfu, how could she go out and meet people?
"You can't hit me!" Old madam stared at the servants of the wangfu who had rushed into the antechamber and shouted fiercely, "I'm the old lord of the Marquis of Anping's fu! Let's see who dares to hit me! "
Although her voice was loud and clear, her panicked appearance of repeatedly retreating had already revealed her panic and fear.
Second Madam was also abnormally nervous. She opened her arms to protect old madam behind her and looked at Qin Yining with a pleading gaze.
Qin Yining frowned and didn't immediately speak.
Xu Weizhi had already heard about old madam's temperament from Xie Yue. She was very displeased with this kind of person who only cared about personal gains. She ridiculed, "Marquis of Anping? I've never heard of him. Which dynasty's marquis is he? "
"You!" Old madam choked and almost couldn't breathe.
But the fear in her heart deepened.
Yes, the Dayan country was destroyed. Her most promising son's life and death were unknown. She could no longer show off in front of Prince Zhongshun.
Old madam was somewhat regretful. She shouldn't have been so impolite to Qin Yining just for a moment of pleasure. Otherwise, the situation wouldn't have become so embarrassing.
"What are you waiting for? Drag her out." Pang Xiao impatiently waved his hand.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue were somewhat hesitant at this time.
With Pang Xiao's current status and situation, he really shouldn't face old madam directly. However, Wang Ye was currently in a fit of anger. If they tried to persuade Wang Ye, it would make others laugh at Wang Ye. It would make him seem like he was afraid of an old woman.
While the two of them were hesitating, the servants came forward and dragged the Dowager Duchess out of the room.
"No, no!" Old madam was extremely scared. She wasn't just afraid of pain. Most importantly, she was afraid of losing face. She had always been the one to slap others. When had others ever slapped her? She was already so old. If she was dragged out to be slapped because she offended an influential person, she would really lose all her dignity for the rest of her life.
Qin Yining helplessly sighed when she saw old madam's terrified appearance.
Although she was extremely disgusted with old madam, from Pang Xiao's point of view, punishing old madam at this time wasn't a wise move..

. Seeing Qin Yining plead for leniency, old madam and Second Madam were both relieved...
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue looked at Qin Yining at the same time. They understood her intention. They secretly praised and rejoiced. Fortunately, Qin Yining was a sensible person. Otherwise, if Wang Ye hit her in a rage, there would be more trouble in the future.
How could Pang Xiao not understand Qin Yining's intention?
However, as a man, he couldn't stand up for his beloved woman when she was wronged. This feeling was really unbearable. He wasn't a spineless person who hid behind a woman. As a person who was used to controlling the overall situation, he had to be restrained by reality like this. It was really unbearable.
Pang Xiao's face darkened. He really wanted to pull Qin Yining up and hold her in his arms to comfort her. Unfortunately, in front of outsiders, he had to put on a show. He could only put on a gloomy face and said coldly and impatiently, "What's your identity? You can't even protect yourself. What qualifications do you have to plead for leniency? "
Qin Yining lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Her weak and thin figure and her clothes that couldn't be considered luxurious reminded old madam and Second Madam again that Qin Yining had fallen out of favor. Pang Xiao couldn't dote on her like before.
However, she was willing to plead for old madam and was also reprimanded by Pang Xiao. This made old madam and Second Madam feel much better and less resentful towards her.
Pang Xiao called Xu Weizhi over and whispered a few words in his ear. Xu Weizhi was stunned for a moment and then nodded. He turned around and said a few words to Huzi. Huzi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hurriedly retreated.
Then Pang Xiao still ordered, "Why are you still in a daze? Are you all deaf? Why don't you take this old witch out and slap her for insulting This King? "
"Yes!" Xu Weizhi immediately called the servants forward. They pulled old madam and Second Madam and pushed them out of the front hall.
This time, old madam was really scared. She begged for mercy, but Pang Xiao was indifferent. In a moment of desperation, old madam acted like a shrew again. She scolded Pang Xiao loudly and cursed the deceased ancestors of the Pang Family, especially the female elders of the Pang Family. Her words were so vulgar that the servant who was pulling old madam couldn't bear to listen anymore. She secretly pinched old madam a few times.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue walked at the back. The more they listened, the more indignant they became. How could a good girl like Qin Yining, who was smart and knowledgeable, have such a shrew for a grandmother? Was this the meaning of "good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo"?
Old madam was already so difficult to deal with. They didn't know what Wang Ye's future father-in-law would be like.
Old madam's curses extended from the front hall to the outside of the mansion.
When Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue ordered the servants to throw old madam and Second Madam out of the door, old madam still couldn't react.
Was Pang Xiao planning to slap her in front of the mansion?
Just as she thought this, she saw Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi turn around and go back.
Old madam immediately felt very proud. She fiercely spat and said, "Ignorant brat! I knew you were just making a ruckus. If you have the ability, you can really touch my finger. When my son comes back, he will definitely punish you! "
"Old madam, old madam …" Second Madam pulled old madam's arm and tried to drag her away.
Things had turned out like this, and it was inseparable from old madam's attitude. They were driven out before they could even say the news that they wanted to tell Qin Yining. Fortunately, Prince Zhongshun was just scaring old madam. Now, he should stop while he was ahead. How could he still have any tolerance when making a scene in front of the Wangfu?
Just as they were thinking this, the two suddenly heard a low dog bark.
Immediately, they saw a black shadow come out from the crack of the mansion's corner door. Looking at the source of the sound, it was actually a robust big black dog with shiny fur. That big dog stared at the two and barked non-stop. Its mouth was open and saliva was dripping down, as if it had been starved for many days.
Old madam and Second Madam were so scared that their bodies stiffened.
But the big black dog didn't care about the two's panic and rushed over while barking.
"Ah! Help! "Old madam couldn't care about anything else. She turned around and ran.
Second Madam also ran all the way. She pulled old madam's hand and ran to the carriage with great effort. She climbed into the carriage and urged the coachman to leave without waiting for them to sit down.
The dog's barking continued until it chased them down a street. Then, as if tired, the black dog turned around and left.
Huzi squatted in front of the mansion. Seeing Big Black return, he hurriedly fed him a few mouthfuls of jerky and praised, "Big Black, well done. That old hag is very arrogant. She needs to be taught a lesson!"
After Dahei finished the jerky with satisfaction, Hu Zi patted its head with a smile and said, "Come on, let's go back."
Big Black barked a few times and followed Huzi to the front hall.
Qin Yining was holding Big White and stroking the little white dog's fur with a worried expression. As if it could sense Qin Yining's low mood, Big White nestled in Qin Yining's arms obediently and only wagged his little tail.
Pang Xiao stood by the window with his hands clasped behind his back. After a long while, he suppressed the anger that was about to explode in his heart and said, "You go back? Where can you go back? Stay in the guest house with those inhuman things? You might as well ignore them. Let's see what they dare to do! Selection? There are so many girls in the Family and they didn't send them. Are you the only daughter in the family? I think these people are shameless. They won't give up until they use you to their fullest potential! "
"How can I ignore them? I stayed here with you because everyone knew that you were the one who kidnapped me. I had no other choice. But now, the Dowager Duchess has come to talk about the selection. If I continue to stay, I'll be harming you. "
"You don't have to be afraid. I can protect you!" Pang Xiao suddenly turned around. The flames in his eyes seemed to be able to burn people to ashes.
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "I know you can protect me. But think about it. How many people are out there waiting to catch you? Your Majesty's suspicion of you hasn't changed. You destroyed the Dayan for him, but he didn't even give you a proper reward. He's also constantly trying to sow discord between you and North Placating Marquis. You're already treading on thin ice. How can I add to your troubles? "
"Let's not talk about other things. You already know that I'm the girl that the Family is going to send to participate in the selection. If you still hold on to me and don't let me go, isn't that clearly going against your superiors? If someone with ulterior motives catches you and reports you to the Emperor, think about it. How many mouths do you have to explain yourself clearly? "
Pang Xiao understood what Qin Yining said.
But it was precisely because he understood and didn't have a definite solution at the moment that Pang Xiao felt angry.
"You … you really intend to participate in the selection?" Pang Xiao strode to Qin Yining and held her weak shoulders with both hands. "Qin Yining, I won't allow it. You can only be mine. Do you hear me?"
This was the first time that Pang Xiao had called her name so seriously. It could even be said that he was furious. His eyes were burning with fire, as if he wanted to burn both of them to ashes.
Qin Yining patted Pang Xiao's hand comfortingly and nodded. "I've been yours for a long time. How can I serve others?"
Her gentleness extinguished Pang Xiao's anger.
Pang Xiao really didn't have confidence. Because he was in a chaotic situation, he was embarrassed to say that he could immediately give Qin Yining a life of luxury and prosperity. The only thing he could guarantee was his sincerity.
Any woman who was a little bit more realistic would not consider him, the husband that Your Majesty is afraid of at this moment. And if she served Your Majesty, with her ability, she would definitely be able to achieve a meteoric rise.
But she only has him in mind.
