That night, Qin Yining was smiling even in her sleep. In her dream, Pang Xiao kept asking her, "Can you stay by my side?" She nodded boldly in her dream and was much more honest than in reality.
Qin Yining used to be confused about the future, but it was different now. She must stay by his side no matter how difficult it was. No matter what kind of adversity he was in, she would not let go. If there was a storm, they would face it together.
The next morning, Qin Yining was being combed by Ji Yun and Xian Yun when she woke up. Bing Tang, who had gone to the front office to inquire about the situation, came back.
"Miss, Wang Ye left early today. He said that there was a court meeting, so he left early."
Bing Tang smiled as she took out a delicate pouch and hung it around the neck of Lian Xiaozhou, who was eating snacks.
Lian Xiaozhou's cheeks were still stained with crumbs of snacks. She looked down at the pouch, grabbed it, and smelled it. Then, she smiled in surprise and ran to Qin Yining to present the pouch.
"Sister, it smells good."
"Yes. There are dried flower petals and a few medicinal herbs in this pouch. Smelling it in this weather can prevent you from catching a cold. "
Bing Tang knew that Lian Xiaozhou was lonely and had difficulty speaking. After careful diagnosis, she concluded that it would be difficult for her to speak like a normal person in this life. She felt even more pity for this little sister.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "That's great. Little Congee, why aren't you thanking Bing Tang sister?"
Lian Xiaozhou looked at Bing Tang, who was not much taller than her, and bowed with a smile. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Bing Tang waved her hand.
Qiu Lu brought over a light blue jacket that Qin Yining was going to wear today. She smiled and said, "Our Bing Tang sister can finally enjoy being a sister."
Qiu Lu was usually not a talkative person, but she would occasionally hit the nail on the head.
Bing Tang snorted and pretended to be angry. "You want to be the younger sister, but who told you to be the oldest? Later, I'll ask the girl to choose a Ru Yi husband for you and match you with him. When the time comes, what should I call that person in your family? Brother-in-law? "
"You, you little b * tch, you only know how to make things up. Watch me tear your mouth apart."
Qiu Lu put down her clothes and wanted to chase after Bing Tang. Bing Tang went around the square table and played with Qiu Lu.
The few of them found it funny.
Qiu Lu had been with Qin Yining for the longest time and was also the oldest among them. She was usually quiet and meticulous. After she returned, she continued to manage the jewelry, clothes, and the expenses of the room for Qin Yining. She was very respected by Xian Yun and Ji Yun.
Xian Yun smiled and said, "Before you came back, I was the only one accompanying the girl. The room was very cold and cheerless. The girl was always depressed and depressed. Only Wang Ye could make the girl happy. Now, it's good. Everyone is safe and sound. Even Sister Qiu Lu has learned to play. It's clear that the feng shui of the Wang residence is good and will bring good luck to the girl."
At this point, Xian Yun inserted a green jade hairpin into Qin Yining's hair. She looked at Qin Yining's fair face in the mirror and said with a smile, "Girl, why don't you hurry up and marry him?"
Qin Yining rolled her eyes at her. Before she could say anything, Ji Yun said with a smile, "Wang Ye must be thinking like this every day."
"You bad girls. It seems like I've spoiled you. When I return, I'll tell Wang Ye to beat you." Qin Yining snorted.
The girls laughed and played together. Even the servant girl who came from outside to reply to them spoke loudly, but they only heard her after she spoke.
Ji Yun went to open the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
The servant girl stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked curiously at the half-opened door. She smiled and said, "Replying to Miss, there are two Qin Masters in front. They said they are Miss Qin's uncles. Mister Xu has seen them and instructed this servant to inform Miss. Miss, do you plan to meet them in Su Xue Garden or in the front hall?"
The laughter in the room stopped. The smile on Qin Yining's face faded as she said, "I'll go to the front hall."
"Yes." The servant girl looked curiously at the room before she bowed and left.
Bing Tang restrained her expression and asked, "Miss, do you really want to meet them? They must be here to force you to attend the consort selection. Why don't you just pretend to be sick? "
"That's right, Miss." Qiu Lu and Ji Yun said in unison. They supported Qin Yining and Pang Xiao from the bottom of their hearts. They didn't want Qin Yining to serve Your Majesty.
Qin Yining stood up and put on the cloak. "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. It's not the same thing to avoid meeting them. What should be said must be said openly. Old Madam came yesterday and only gave a tyrannical order. She didn't say anything. I also want to know my father's whereabouts. Ji Yun, Bing Tang, come with me. "
"Yes." The two bowed and followed Qin Yining out the door.
In the front hall, Second Old Master and Third Old Master were having tea with Xu Weizhi.
Xu Weizhi's attire appeared more gorgeous in front of Second Old Master and Third Old Master, who were wearing simple cotton-padded jackets. She also put on the airs of a steward of the Wang Estate.
Seeing that Qin Yining had arrived, Xu Weizhi glanced in the direction of Second Old Master and Third Old Master. She coughed and said sternly, "I see your family members coming to disturb you all day long. You should resolve them properly. Don't let Wang Ye worry."
Qin Yining immediately understood and nodded. "Yes. Thank you, steward. "
Xu Weizhi couldn't help but smile when she saw that Qin Yining reacted so quickly. She nodded and walked out with her hands behind her back.
Qin Yining instructed Ji Yun and Bing Tang, who came with him, "Wait at the door."
"Yes."
When only the uncle and niece were left in the room, Qin Yining bowed to Second Old Master and Third Old Master. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, long time no see."
Second Old Master and Third Old Master had lost a lot of weight. Looking at their attire, although they weren't as down and out as Pang Xiao's Spies, they definitely weren't doing well.
When Qin Yining saw the old madam yesterday, he wanted to ask her about it. Therefore, he bluntly asked, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, did you encounter any accidents on your way here? Do you know where my father is? "
Second Old Master sighed and said, "Sister Yi, we came here today to talk to you about this. When we were escaping that day, we got separated from your father, mother, and concubine mother. We managed to rush to the capital with great difficulty, but we were kidnapped by a group of people. "
"What?" Qin Yining was extremely shocked. Ji Zeyu shouldn't have made a second move.
Third Old Master had an impatient personality and spilled the beans, "Our entire family was kidnapped. Not only were the belongings that we brought with us stolen by that group of bandits, but they also said that your father, mother, and concubine mother are currently in their hands. If we want them to continue living and if we still want our family's belongings, we have to send you to the selection of concubines! "
"They specifically targeted me? Who are they? "Qin Yining was both shocked and angry. She never would have thought that the cause of this incident was actually a kidnapping.
