Although Second Tang Sister-in-law had good intentions, when everyone in the family heard this, they all looked at her with slight condemnation and dissatisfaction.
Qin Han always knew that although his wife wasn't a bad person, there were some things that couldn't be resolved. He couldn't help but tug on her sleeve.
Only then did Second Tangsao realize that Qin Huining's status was awkward, and he didn't get along well with Qin Yining. No one in the family introduced her to him, so why would she do such a thing?
Second Tangsao smiled awkwardly, took two steps back, and didn't say anything.
However, Qin Huining smiled gratefully at Second Tangsao. He finally had a way to speak. He bent his knees and greeted Pang Xiao, "Hello, Brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?" Pang Xiao looked at him with a faint smile and said indifferently, "No need to be so courteous."
Out of courtesy to Qin Huaiyuan, Pang Xiao gave Qin Huining a greeting gift compared to the other siblings in the family. Although Qin Huining called him Brother-in-law, Pang Xiao had a high status and power. His actions were considered appropriate because of his status.
When Qin Huaiyuan saw Pang Xiao's actions, he was very satisfied. He thought that Pang Xiao was really very attentive to Qin Yining.
Matriarch now had such a high status and power grandson-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was. However, she still didn't dare to meet Pang Xiao's eyes. She felt that his gaze was too sharp and made people feel terrified when they met his gaze.
After chatting for a while, Qin Huaiyuan, Second Old Master, and Third Old Master invited Pang Xiao outside to talk. They wanted to leave some space for the womenfolk.
Seeing that Pang Xiao and the others had left, the Sun Clan immediately grabbed Qin Yining's hand and went inside to have a private talk, completely ignoring the matriarch's expression.
In the Sun Clan's bedroom, Qin Yining and his mother sat side by side.
The Sun Clan member asked in a low voice, "How does Wang Ye treat you?"
Qin Yining's ears turned red when he heard that. He coughed and said, "Very good."
The mother of the Sun Clan carefully sized up Qin Yining. When she saw her bashful smile that could not be concealed, she said with satisfaction, "Excellent. From what I see, although Wang Ye's temper is not very good, he is not someone who would abuse his wife. Those who fight on the battlefield are more or less domineering. As long as you follow his wishes and listen to his arrangements, I believe Wang Ye will not treat you unfairly. "
"Mother, you're right. I'll do as you say. Wang Ye treats me very well."
"What about your mother-in-law? And what about the two elders in the residence? "The Sun Clan asked worriedly.
When Qin Yining thought of Madam Ma's protection of her, her heart warmed. She smiled and said, "Wang Ye's maternal grandparents are very gentle and kind people.
When my maternal grandmother was young, she was a chivalrous woman in the pugilistic world. Her temper is very straightforward, and she also dotes on me very much. My maternal grandfather's temper is soft, but he is a resourceful old man. He also really likes me. "
"What about your mother-in-law?" The Sun Clan member held Qin Yining's hand and asked, "Did she ask you to set up rules in her house?"
Qin Yining knew that the Sun Clan was someone who had suffered under her mother-in-law. She had also seen with her own eyes how the Sun Clan set rules in front of the old matriarch. She also saw how the old matriarch made things difficult for the Sun Clan after the Sun Clan's accident. As a mother, how could she bear to let her child suffer the same pain again?
Qin Yining held the Sun Clan member's arm and shook it. "Mother, don't worry. My mother-in-law and grandmother are very dutiful people. Just as you said, although Wang Ye is domineering, he won't bully his daughter for no reason. He will even support her. Although my mother-in-law has some ulterior motives, which mother won't worry that her son will forget her after he gets married? These are all understandable. Life isn't lived in a day. There is still a long way to go. No matter what, it will get better and better. "
Hearing Qin Yining's words, the Sun Clan member was very happy. She was also full of hope for the future.
The Sun Clan member was very clear in her heart. Her talent had always been very ordinary, and she had the temperament of a young miss raised in a duke's residence. The old matriarch was also a snobbish person. Therefore, she no longer looked forward to a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
However, Qin Yining was different. Qin Yining's life was still very long. In the future, her life in the prince's residence would be her main focus. The prince's residence was already very small in number. There were only a few people in the family. If there was someone who didn't like Qin Yining, then her life in the future would be difficult.
Ever since Qin Yining got married, the Sun Clan member hadn't been able to sleep well these past few days. She kept thinking about it over and over in her mind. She always felt that her daughter had gone to someone else's home. From a treasure in her palm, she had become a pile of rubble that could be discarded on the ground.
In the past, she didn't treat Qin Yining well. Not long after they reconciled, her daughter got married.
There weren't many opportunities for her daughter to be happy. She didn't even have the time to properly compensate Qin Yining. The Sun Clan was really worried that Qin Yining's life in her in-laws' home wouldn't be good.
Although Qin Yining couldn't completely understand the Sun Clan's mentality of compensation, she could still sense it.
She was afraid that after they returned, the Sun Clan would still let their imaginations run wild. Thus, she simply told the Sun Clan about the matters in the prince's residence.
"Wang Ye is busy with official business, but he can always find time to accompany me.
"Mother-in-law is very kind. When she saw that I was about to start learning how to be a steward, she arranged for a respectable servant by her side to be ordered around by me. She was afraid that my words wouldn't have any weight in the prince's residence.
"Mother-in-law also treats me like her own granddaughter. She always holds my hand and talks to me. She's much more intimate than our family's old matriarch.
"The prince's residence is very big, but there aren't many people in the family. Thus, the residence is very spacious and safe. The servants don't have to squeeze together."
… …
The Sun Clan carefully listened to Qin Yining talk about the prince's residence. The more they listened, the more relaxed they became. In the end, they nodded repeatedly and said, "Your father has always been capable. The marriage that he agreed to definitely won't be wrong."
Qin Yining heard this and laughed, "Mother is so protective of father. When I return, I will definitely tell father. I won't let down mother's sincerity."
The Sun Clan's old face reddened when she heard this. She couldn't help but push Qin Yining, "You little girl."
While the mother and daughter were whispering in the room, Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan had already gone to the study room in the outer courtyard alone.
Qin Huaiyuan sat down on the warm kang bed by the window.
Pang Xiao respectfully bowed to Qin Huaiyuan again, "Father-in-law, this son-in-law kowtows to you."
Qin Huaiyuan supported him with a smile, "Quickly get up. We're all family. Why are you so polite?"
"No, Father-in-law, you must accept my bow. Actually, I have long wanted to thank you. Thank you for allowing me and Sister Yi to be together. It's just that it's inconvenient to talk outside. I haven't found this opportunity. "
"Quickly get up," Qin Huaiyuan helped Pang Xiao up and said with a smile, "You are an open-minded person. I should be the one apologizing to you for what happened back then."
Pang Xiao heard this and quickly shook his head, "Father-in-law, no matter what the people outside say or say, you must listen to me. Back then, you were Dayan and my father was from Beiji. You were originally standing on opposing sides. Naturally, you did things based on your own abilities.
"Furthermore, although your plan to sow discord back then was beautiful, the incapable ruler of Beiji had long disliked my father. He was worried that he would gather troops and rebel. That was why he found an excuse to get rid of him. Therefore, this matter is the result of many reasons as time goes on. It has nothing to do with your plan to sow discord.
"Furthermore, even if it was really because of the plan to sow discord, there was no other way.
"From the beginning, I have never vented my anger on you. If I did, why would I look for Sister Yi a few years ago? "
"A few years ago?" Qin Huaiyuan keenly caught the main point.
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "I heard about it from the aide left behind by my father. They schemed to swap Sister Yi. My father's bodyguard said that they brought an orphan from Yangsheng Hall. However, that aide said that she was not an orphan. She was bought with money.
"In short, after they swapped Sister Yi, they threw away the swaddling clothes. Later, when they investigated further, they found that Sister Yi was brought home by Madam Liu.
"At that time, I was fourteen or fifteen years old. I heard my father's people talk about Sister Yi. At that time, I felt that she was very innocent, so I went to Liang City to look for her."
Pang Xiao told Qin Huaiyuan about how he saw Qin Yining being pushed to the ground by the shop assistant in Liang City. However, she stubbornly did not cry. He followed behind her and watched as she went to buy steamed buns for her adoptive mother. He saw how she was so strong that she did not look like a seven-year-old child.
Pang Xiao recalled carefully. In the end, he said that he deliberately kept some money. Then, he said regretfully, "Unfortunately, when I went back next year, Sister Yi's adoptive mother had already passed away. I never found her again. When I first gave her money, I did not have much money. At that time, I had just joined the army. Most of my father's aides were just using me half-heartedly. I did not have any money or real power.
"At that time, if I had thirty percent of my ability now, Sister Yi would not have had to suffer so many years in the mountains."
Qin Huaiyuan did not speak. He listened calmly to Pang Xiao's story. In the end, he said, "So you two were already destined to be together. It seems that all of this is fate. The money you gave me back then was equivalent to saving Sister Yi's life. That is why you two are husband and wife now. "
Pang Xiao's ears turned red. He muttered, "Perhaps it is fate."
Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "I don't have any requirements for you. I just hope that you can treat Sister Yi well. She is a child who has suffered a lot. She has never enjoyed any good fortune. When she returned home, she suffered so much because of me. I cannot accompany her for the rest of her life, but you can. In the future, I will entrust Sister Yi to you. "
When Qin Huaiyuan finished speaking, he was very serious.
Pang Xiao stood up and bowed. "Yes. Father-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely treat Sister Yi well."
Both of them were very happy with this conversation. After talking about private matters, Qin Huaiyuan started talking about official matters.
"The injury caused by the turning over of the earth dragon should be very serious."
Qin Huaiyuan directly told his son-in-law what he had analyzed. "Your Majesty's internal funds are empty. When he urgently needs money, he will definitely speed up the search for that treasure. Moreover, I suspect that in order to raise money, Your Majesty will probably assign tasks to the ministers in the imperial court one by one. The small yellow croakers you gave to Sister Yi that day were too eye-catching. If Your Majesty cares about these things and asks you to borrow money, what will you do? "
