"Of course I know she won't let it go. It's all because someone's charm is too strong. " Qin Yining crossed her arms and looked at Pang Xiao helplessly. "I'm just sitting at home, and trouble comes from the sky. I didn't provoke anyone, but I have two enemies who are bent on scheming against me, and they are both of high status."
Pang Xiao was amused by her and couldn't help laughing. He scratched the bridge of her nose and said, "I'll take it that you are jealous."
Qin Yining said seriously, "I am jealous."
Looking into her watery eyes, Pang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He found that she was serious.
"I thought you …"
"What did you think I was? Won't you be jealous? " Qin Yining was very surprised. She didn't expect that Pang Xiao, such a smart person, would think that she was a person who wouldn't be jealous.
"Am I such a generous person in your mind?"
Pang Xiao shook his head and held her in his arms. He rubbed his chin on the top of her head and sighed. "It's my negligence. Because you have always been so calm and resourceful, I often think that no matter what happens, you can see through it, but I forget that you are just a girl. It's my fault. "
He was really stupid. No matter how strong Qin Yining was, she was just a 16-year-old girl.
And he was so careless that he ignored her feelings and took her sensibility and patience for granted.
What was the difference between him and those who didn't care about Qin Yining and only cared about themselves?
Sensing Pang Xiao's low mood, Qin Yining smiled and looked up. She took the initiative to kiss his chin. "What's right and wrong? Although I am a girl, I have never been weaker than anyone else. You are a man, but you think so much. You are not as open-minded as me. "
Pang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I'm not open-minded enough? I just feel sorry for you. "
Qin Yining's warm breath brushed against his ear. He hurriedly turned away and pushed Qin Yining's shoulder, saying, "Let's just talk for a while. Don't let others see and make wild guesses."
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "I know. I'll go and see you secretly in the future. However, now that you have a few more experts by your side, it won't be easy to sneak through your window. When your guards find out, won't they overthink it? "
Qin Yining blushed at her teasing and snorted softly, "That was arranged by my father to guard against you."
"Is Father-in-law still holding a grudge over what happened last time?" Pang Xiao joked.
Qin Yining glared at him. When he thought about how Qin Yining purposely let Qin Huaiyuan see his shadow, he got angry. He pushed Qin Yining's shoulder and said, "Go, go. Go back and recuperate."
Pang Xiao didn't tease her anymore. He pulled her soft, white hand and kissed it, then jumped down from the carriage.
When Xian Yun saw Ming Xiao come out, she approached him and bowed.
Pang Xiao said, "Take good care of your daughter."
"Yes. This servant will do my best. "
Pang Xiao nodded and quickly walked in the opposite direction of the prince's residence.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain with her white hand. Seeing that he was far away, she ordered them to go back.
Qin Yining felt relieved. He even saw a good show. Most importantly, he met and chatted with Pang Xiao for a while. He was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile the whole way back.
Xian Yun knew that her mistress was thin-skinned, so she didn't say much. However, she couldn't help but smile the whole way.

Recently, the capital was very lively. First, there was the news that Madam Lu was scolded by her brother in public because of Minister Qin's daughter. Then, there were people who gossiped about the relationship between Prince Consort Ji, Prince Zhongshun, and Princess Royal of Anyang three times a day. When the news of the battle between the Tiger Army and the Dragon Stallion Army spread, the whole thing reached a boiling point. Almost everyone knew about it.
Everyone didn't have much entertainment on a normal day. During the cold winter, they didn't like to walk outside. Now that the weather was warmer, they walked outside more often and heard more news.
Qin Yining saw that the public opinion was developing in the direction that Li Qitian wanted. He knew that Pang Xiao was behind this.
The more time he spent with him, the more Qin Yining realized that Pang Xiao was actually a meticulous and cunning person. At least, he wasn't as rough as he looked on the surface.
As long as Pang Xiao was willing to use his brain, she could be at ease.
However, seeing that the battle between the two war gods had suppressed Madam Lu's matter, Qin Yining didn't see Madam Lu's counterattack for a few days. He thought that the matter had already passed.
Who would have thought that Lu Dehan would suddenly rush over to see her.
"Benefactor, people from the Marquis of Zhongyong's Manor came to find me today. They said that they wanted to buy your residence at a high price. If I wasn't willing to sell, they would kill me!"
Qin Yining said in surprise, "Madam Lu of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Manor sent people to find you?"
"Yes," Lu Dehan said, "I, Old Lu, am not afraid of death. However, I'm afraid of doing something wrong and implicating benefactor. A few days ago, didn't people say that benefactor and that woman from the Marquis of Zhongyong's Manor didn't get along? Perhaps she purposely came to find trouble with you. "
Qin Yining furrowed his brows in deep thought. Currently, the residence they were living in was in the process of being handed over between the two families. She had previously placed the residence under Lu Dehan's name and had him hand it over to Qin Huaiyuan. He didn't need to pay any money and only needed to transfer the ownership.
Who would have thought that after suffering so many times, Madam Lu still wouldn't give up and wanted to continue opposing her?
"Benefactor, what do you think we should do now?"
Qin Yining said, "You don't need to be afraid. She won't do anything to you."
"Even if she's serious, I'm not afraid. However, are we going to continue to be in a deadlock with Madam Lu? She wants to buy it. If I don't sell it, even if she doesn't kill me in front of me, she won't let us have an easy time. Why don't we just sell the residence to her at a high price? This way, we'll have money and buy a better one. Let her suffer this loss! "
Qin Yining heard this and shook his head in amusement.
Lu Dehan was a one-track minded person.
If they bought another residence, wouldn't Madam Lu accept the money again?
The Lu family was a century-old family with a deep foundation. Perhaps to Madam Lu, money was just a number. Wouldn't it be easy for her to buy a residence at a high price?
Moreover, if she took the opportunity to ask Madam Lu for money, she would have to lower her head.
Qin Yining had never been a person who lowered her head easily.
She would rather be enemies with the Lu family than do anything that would harm the Family Qin's reputation. If the harem didn't do things openly, wouldn't her father become a laughingstock in the imperial court?
"Young Lady."
At this moment, Qiu Lu came to the door and bowed. "Young Lady, the Lu family sent a letter saying that the three masters aren't at home and there's no one in charge. Madam Lu instructed us to pass the letter to you."
"Let me take a look."
Qiu Lu handed the gilded letter to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining couldn't help but be astonished after reading it carefully.
The letter was sent by Lu Heng and invited Qin Huaiyuan out for a chat.
