Qin Yining couldn't help but be moved. She knew that Madam Ma liked her, and she wasn't a picky old woman who valued the younger generation's feelings more than her craftsmanship. That was why she said that. However, she knew her own needlework very well. It wasn't exquisite, but it was solid.
"Mother, please have some tea." Qin Yining took the teacup and knelt in front of Yao Clan to serve tea.
Yao shi smiled as she received the teacup and took a sip. She also gave Qin Yi Ning a large red envelope and an exquisite wooden box with flower carvings.
Qin Yining smiled and bowed. "Thank you, Mother." She signaled for Bing Tang to accept the gifts and then offered the embroidered shoes she made for Yao Clan with both hands.
Yao Clan took it with a smile. "Thank you. Get up."
"Yes. Come sit with Grandmother. " Madam Ma affectionately took Qin Yining's hand and let her sit next to her. She found this granddaughter-in-law pleasing to the eye.
"Good child. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you've finally married into my family. Now that you're here, Dai Fu will have someone to take care of you. We don't have many masters, but there are many servants. Your mother-in-law and I aren't good at managing these things, so we'll leave them all to you. "
"I understand Grandmother's good intentions, but I'm young and inexperienced. I'm afraid that I won't do a good job and embarrass the prince's household."
Qin Yining didn't really know how to manage the household. She used to be the young mistress of the household in Dayan. She was just afraid that she would take away her mother-in-law's power as soon as she married into the family.
Yao Clan smiled and said, "You're a smart child. You'll get used to managing the household as time goes by. If there's anything you're not sure about, you can ask me. I'll tell you a few times, and you'll get used to it. I'm old. Right now, I'm just looking forward to having a grandson. I don't care about anything else. "
Qin Yining's face turned red. She muttered, "Yes. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask Mother. "
Yao Clan smiled and nodded. "I'll ask Zhao Kun to send the matching tiles to Jinhua Park later."
Qin Yining thought for a moment and smiled. "Mother, I have a presumptuous request. Can you lend me Mama Zhao for a while? I don't need her to wait on me in the room. I'm young and my knowledge is limited. There are many things in the manor that I don't understand. With Mama Zhao around, it'll be easier to give me pointers. Also, if I need to pass on a message, Mama Zhao will have more weight. "
Yao shi heard this and could not help but look deeply at Qin Yining. Seeing that her eyes were focused and sincere, without any reluctance, he couldn't help but praise her secretly.
''s's a smart girl.
'' ''s't't''s't take the initiative..... Moreover, Zhao Kun's family was respectable, so she could still use their influence to gain a foothold. 't't't't's kill't't's's't's kill '''s's killing's..'t '' ''s.. they''s't's's, ''s.'s. at night't's's't...... it it't t
Yao shi's heart was truly a little complicated.
On one hand, they were happy for their son. Having such a smart wife was a great help to their son. At least, she knew what to do at the right time.
On the other hand, they were worried. '' With such a smart person by their side, it'd be fine if they had a good relationship. But if there were disagreements, they might not win in a battle of wits.
Pang Xiao became anxious when he saw Yao Clan's silence. He'd heard that mother-in-law's' and daughter-in-law's' relationships weren't easy to get along with. He was afraid that if he acted too protective of Qin Yining in front of his mother, it'd make Qin Yining jealous. '' When he wasn't at home, Qin Yining would be the one in trouble. He could only stand and stare. He couldn't help but guess what the Yao Clan was thinking.
Ma Shi couldn't bear to see him procrastinate. She said, "Dai Fu's' wife is talking to you. What are you thinking about? If Zhao Kun's' family is busy, I'll arrange for one of my capable men to go. "
"Mother, I think it's a good idea to arrange for Zhao Kun's' family to go. I'm just thinking that it's not enough to arrange for one person to help Dai Fu's' wife. Later, I'll have to gather all the people in the residence and make arrangements. "
Qin Yining could vaguely guess Yao Clan's' thoughts. He just smiled and thanked them. But she wasn't disappointed.
After all, strictly speaking, she wasn't familiar with Pang Xiao's family. Naturally, mother-in-law's' and mother-in-law's' feelings towards the younger generation were different. When she first returned home, her biological mother didn't treat her well. After getting along with her for a long time, weren't they so close that they couldn't bear to part with each other?
Time reveals a person's heart. She wasn't scheming against Pang Xiao's family. She believed that the Yao Clan would like her in the future.
Seeing that they were almost done chatting, Pang Xiao said, "Mother, we still have to go to the palace today to thank His Majesty. We might not come back for lunch."
When Yao Clan heard the words' enter the palace ', they became nervous for Pang Xiao. Thinking of their son's identity, if Pang Xiao went to war in the future, the women in their family would be' invited 'to the palace to' stay 'for a while. It was a good thing to have such a smart daughter-in-law like Qin Yining.
As a result, the Yao Clan's gaze towards Qin Yining became gentler.
"Hurry up and tidy up. You can go now. Don't let Your Majesty blame you if you're late.
”
"Yes." Qin Yining stood up and bowed to Yao Chenggu, Ma Shi, and the Yao Clan. Then, he followed Pang Xiao out.
As soon as the two left, Ma Shi's face fell.
"Yuping, what did you mean just now?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Pang Xiao looked at Ma Shi helplessly.
"Lass Yi just came in and politely offered you tea and gave you the needlework she made. What kind of airs are you putting on? She's the apple of the eye at home. Does she have to be humble here? "
"Mother, I didn't mean that. I can't wait to like her."
"I think you do! Lass Yi asked you for advice and even borrowed Zhao Kun's family's clothes. That's because she's sensible. She was afraid that as a mother-in-law, you wouldn't be able to put down your pride to plant someone in your son's room, so she took the initiative to invite someone over. You, on the other hand, are putting on airs. Who doesn't know what you're thinking? Are you afraid that your daughter-in-law will have something against you? "
Yao Clan's worries were exposed and they felt a little uncomfortable. "Mother, I'm not afraid of this. I'm just afraid that she won't be able to manage things properly. "
"Come on, I gave birth to you. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just afraid that your daughter-in-law is too smart and will be controlled by her in the future. If you two don't get along well, you're afraid that you won't be able to control her. "
Ma Shi's words exposed the Yao Clan's thoughts.
Yao Chenggu was smoking on the side, pretending that he couldn't hear the conversation between the mother and son.
Yao Clan said, "Mother, after all, you can't judge a book by its cover. It's not that I don't like her, nor do I want to make things difficult for her. I just have to be wary of others.
”
"Wary of others?" Ma Shi sneered. "You're just scheming. You've worked in a wealthy family before and you've picked up those bad habits. Scheming against outsiders is because you're capable, but you even do that to your own family. Aren't you tired of living? What's wrong with that child? I think she's good. She's sensible and knows when to advance and when to retreat. Do you think you're very secretive about your thoughts? Even a straightforward mother like me can see through it. That lass is so smart, how can she not see through it? She just has self-restraint and doesn't say anything. "
Yao Clan's face turned red after being criticized by Ma Shi, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being wary.
She only had her son to rely on, and her son was now very passionate. How could he control himself in front of such a beauty? She's his mother, so of course she has to keep an eye on him. "
Seeing that Yao Clan was silent, Ma Shi sneered and said, "You don't have to be indignant. She's Yi Lass. Although she had a hard life when she was young and didn't enjoy a good life at home, her Family used to be a big family in the Dayan Dynasty. Yi Lass has been taught by her father, so her character is naturally not bad.
"I heard from Dai Fu that Yi Lass was in charge of the inner chamber before she got married. If you're really afraid of being robbed of your power, I have to say something. In the future, everything will belong to the children. If you keep clenching your fists and refusing to let go, do you think you can take it away? "
Ma Shi's words had already made Yao Clan's face turn red and they wished they could find a hole to hide in.
It was reasonable, but emotionally, she just couldn't control herself.
Seeing the Yao Clan's reaction, Ma Shi shook her head and nodded, "You people of the old Yao Clan are all scheming. You think you're smart and can figure out the world, but you can't figure out people's hearts."
Yao Chenggu saw that he was implicated and said helplessly, "What's wrong with me? You can teach your daughter a lesson, but don't involve me. "
Ma Shi looked at Yao Chenggu and didn't want to talk nonsense with this old man.
She turned around and called Nanny Mi over. "Go to Jinhua Court more often and send some nourishing soup and water to Sister Yi. By the way, see if anyone has angered her. If there is, come back and tell me. I'll teach her a lesson! "
Nanny Mi was amused. "Old Madam, you're not ordering me at all. You're educating your daughter."
Ma Shi stared at Yao Clan and snorted.
Yao Clan felt helpless and amused, thinking that maybe she was really wrong. She knew that her mother was a straightforward person, but she would never be wrong about people.
Maybe she was thinking too much.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao got on the carriage and went to the palace.
"Sister Yi, are you angry?" Pang Xiao held her hand and asked carefully.
Qin Yining was very surprised. "Why do you ask?"
"Just now, my mother was like that. Are you angry? "
"Of course not." Qin Yining laughed. "My mother is very good to me. She just gave me a jade bracelet with excellent water source. I've just married into the family, so I'm not familiar with the elders. I'll be familiar with them later. Don't make wild guesses. It seems that my mother bullied me. "
Hearing this, Pang Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief secretly.
Regardless of who was right and who was wrong in those disputes, the Yao Clan gave birth to him. It was not easy for an unmarried woman to raise him. If his wife didn't get along with his mother, he would more or less feel regret in his heart. Of course, if his mother didn't like his wife, he would also feel regret. Fortunately, his Sister Yi was generous, and his mother was not a foolish person.
As Qin Yining said, after a long time, they might be familiar with each other.
They chatted along the way and soon arrived at the palace gate. After changing to the oil wall carriage, they went directly to Yangxin Palace.
