The Sun Clan kept their mouths shut the entire way, as if they would say something unpleasant the moment they opened their mouths.
Seeing the Sun Clan like this, Mother Jin, Cai Ju, and Cai Lan, who were accompanying them, kept quiet out of fear.
The two maidservants supported the Sun Clan on both sides, afraid that she would bump into them if she walked too fast.
Mother Jin secretly fell back a few steps and gave Qin Yining a look.
Qin Yining nodded knowingly when he saw it.
Mother Jin sighed in relief as if she had found a pillar of support.
In the past few days, she had understood that Qin Yining had a special place in the eyes of the old madam and Duchess Ding. In addition, her master was not particularly smart and sensible. If she wanted to continue living peacefully in the future, she could not be enemies with Qin Yining.
As for what her niece had said, it was for her own master and herself. She was not naive enough to think that an adopted daughter who could not even protect herself could give her a good future.
Qin Huining brought Mama Cai, Bi Tong, and Bi Tao to walk at the back. She clearly saw the interaction between Mother Jin and Qin Yining.
At this time, Qin Huining's expression was very ugly. Nothing that had happened in the past few days was completely beneficial to her. She could only watch as Qin Yining stepped on her head step by step. No matter how she tried to please the old madam and the Sun Clan, the blood relationship would become a wall between them.
Qin Huining laughed self-deprecatingly. She was originally brought here. How could these people treat her sincerely?
When they returned to Xingning Garden, the Sun Clan ignored the servants who were greeting them. She angrily lifted the curtain and entered the room. She sat down heavily at the head of the table and asked, "Sister Hui, what happened to you?"
Qin Huining bit her lower lip and frowned in grievance. She slowly walked forward and knelt down in front of the Sun Clan.
"Mother, don't be angry. Don't hurt your body. It's all my fault."
The Sun Clan felt suffocated by her words. She then looked at Qin Huining's aggrieved expression. It was as if she, her mother, was the one who had bullied her. She felt even more annoyed and raised her hand to slap her.
Slap! Qin Huining's head was knocked to the side by the slap.
"Who allowed you to talk to me like that? Why, you put on an act in front of old madam, and now you still want to put on an act in front of me! "
Qin Huining covered her face in disbelief and looked up at the Sun Clan. Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks and she choked with sobs. "Mother, how could you do this to me?"
The members of the Sun Clan looked at Qin Huining's aggrieved expression and became even angrier. They angrily rebuked, "You're aggrieved? Do you think everyone in the world is a fool? You incited me again and again and sowed discord behind my back. Do you think I didn't know that you were sizing me up? I raised you and treated you like my own flesh and blood, but you harmed me instead. Not to mention other things, the words you said in front of old madam just now, were they something you should have said?! "
Qin Huining's aggrieved expression was replaced by fear.
How could it be like this?! The Sun Clan had only returned home for a few days. How could it be that when they came back, it was as if they had changed into another person? They actually came back to their senses so easily!
It must have been instigated by Duchess Ding!
Qin Huining's sense of crisis was unprecedentedly strong. In the past, no matter how powerful Qin Huining was, she was confident that she could control the Sun Clan and old madam. However, in such a short time, she found that she could no longer control these people!
In the past, the Sun Clan was the most obedient to her words. As long as she moved them emotionally, the Sun Clan was the most easily moved. But now?!
"Mother, don't misunderstand. I …"
"Enough!" The Sun Clan didn't want to listen to Qin Huining's refutation at all. "I saw it with my own eyes. You dared to instigate discord in front of old madam and make old madam hate me. What good will that do for you? Qin Huining, I'm so disappointed in you! "
As the Sun Clan spoke, she also cried with grievance.
"What kind of life have I lived all these years? You followed me and saw it with your own eyes. Now you treat me like this. What do you want me to do?!"
The Sun Clan felt wronged, and Qin Huining felt even more wronged. She fell to the ground and covered her swollen face as she sobbed.
Nurse Jin, Cai Ju, Bi Tong, and the others hurriedly went forward to comfort her.
Qin Huining quietly left the room and returned to Snow Pear Courtyard.
It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for the Sun Clan. But she felt that she couldn't control her. Even someone as intelligent as Duchess Ding couldn't teach the Sun Clan well. What could she, a little girl, do?
As for Qin Huining, she deserved to be beaten. She even felt that she didn't get beaten enough. It didn't make sense that only she could be beaten, but Qin Huining couldn't.
Qin Yining didn't bother to pay attention to the situation of the mother and daughter in Xingning Garden. She just lived her life peacefully as usual and slept well at night.
Early the next morning, Qin Yining went to pay his respects to old madam as usual. Originally, old madam had angrily said yesterday that the Sun Clan didn't need to come to the Sun Clan anymore. Qin Yining was worried that the Sun Clan would take it seriously. As a result, he saw the Sun Clan at old madam's place today. Although the Sun Clan wasn't very warm to old madam, they didn't do anything wrong. Qin Yining was relieved when he saw them.
On the other hand, half of Qin Huining's face was swollen like a pig's head again, and even the corners of her mouth were bruised. She successfully entertained Qin Yining.
It seemed that after she left Xingning Garden yesterday, Qin Huining was beaten again.
This person had evil intentions and repeatedly harmed others. Even if she was beaten, she deserved it.
Qin Huining looked like she was about to cry when she saw everyone today, as if she had suffered a great grievance in Xingning Garden. Sixth Young Lady frequently glared at her.
Qin Yining didn't bother to pay attention to her attitude.
Qin Huining's behavior today was tantamount to digging her own grave.
In the past, everyone trusted her character, so naturally, they couldn't bear to see her being wronged.
But now, Dowager Duchess and the Sun Clan had doubts about her character. On the basis of their doubts, how could they feel pity for her? Qin Huining's self-righteous scheme would only fail. She could still run amok now, but it wasn't time yet.
Qin Yining wasn't anxious at all.
"Dowager Duchess," the head maidservant Ji Xiang entered the room and said with a smile, "Madam Ding's personal servant, Mama Bao, has come."
Everyone in the room was startled when they heard this.
Dowager Duchess sat up straight and said with a smile, "Quickly invite her in." As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance sideways at the Sun Clan.
The Sun Clan gritted their teeth and lowered their eyes, suppressing their anger.
At this time, Mama Bao entered the room under the guidance of Mammy Qin. Seeing that the room was full of young ladies and masters, she bowed to them one by one.
The young ladies didn't dare to be arrogant and didn't accept Mama Bao's bow, so they turned to greet her.
Dowager Duchess said with a smile, "Why did Mama Bao come today?" Could it be that she came to apologize again?
"Replying to Old Madam Qin, our madam is going to Xian Gu Temple to perform the ritual ceremony today. She specially instructed this servant to come and ask for your grace. Our madam wants to take Miss Biao out to relax."
Dowager Duchess was startled when she heard this and then smiled, "That's easy. I'll ask the young lady to pack up and follow you." She then asked, "Is your madam's health well?"
"Thanks to your good fortune, everything is well."
Mama Bao smiled and chatted with dowager Duchess. Her attitude was respectful, but not humble. She also didn't mention the Sun Clan's return, nor did she act like she wanted to apologize. She didn't lose any face for Duke Ding's Mansion.
Qin Yining took the cloak that Mammy Qin brought and put it on. She then took the small brass handwarmer and the light green embroidered stove cover and held it in her hands.
When Mama Bao and dowager Duchess finished their conversation, she smiled and bowed to dowager Duchess.
"Dowager Duchess, granddaughter will go out first."
Dowager Duchess smiled and waved her hand, "Go. Take good care of your grandmother."
Mama Bao bowed again with a smile and then respectfully retreated.
Qin Yining followed her around the screen and went to the door. Seeing that Qin Huining had also put on the light blue cloak and was following her, she lightly tugged on Mama Bao's sleeve.
Mama Bao turned around and saw that Qin Huining was also following her. She said with a faint smile, "Blame this old servant for being clumsy. I didn't make it clear. Duke Ding's Madam wanted to bring Miss Biao to Xian Gu Temple to perform the ritual. She didn't say that she would bring Miss Huining. "
They were in front of the door and separated by a screen. Her voice clearly traveled into the room.
Qin Yining heard a few muffled chuckles and blushed for Qin Huining.
Qin Huining's originally swollen face had now turned the color of an eggplant. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked accusingly at Mama Bao.
Sun Clan couldn't bear to see her like this. She went around the screen and chased after her, "I won't go out with mother today. Why don't we let Sister Hui go as well? The two sisters can take care of each other. "
Mama Bao smiled and said, "Madam, it's not that this old servant doesn't want to listen to your orders. It's Duke Ding's Madam's order to only bring Miss Biao out. Our Duke Ding's Mansion only has one proper Miss Biao. You should know this in your heart. If you want Miss Huining to go as well, then why don't you personally explain the situation to Duke Ding's Madam? Don't make it difficult for this old servant to be caught in the middle. "
Sun Clan heard this and could only shut her mouth in embarrassment. After all, Duke Ding's Madam had already said in front of her yesterday that she would bring Qin Yining out alone today.
And Qin Huining was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
What did this mean? Was Mama Bao here to slap her face in public?
In front of so many people, she said that Duke Ding's Madam only had one Miss Biao. This was simply trampling on her dignity!
However, before Mama Bao finished speaking, she smiled and said to Qin Huining, "There is one more thing that this old servant will say to you."
Qin Huining's lips trembled. She suppressed her anger and said, "Go ahead."
"Our Duke Ding's Mansion has never practiced deception. The Old Madam and the Marquis both said that if a person is capable, he should go out and use his ability. If you use your ability to fight with your own family, it's not called being capable. It's called being dirty. Duke Ding's Mansion will not produce such a person, and we don't want such a person. Miss, you are a smart person. Now that you have come to this point, you should think carefully about what you have done wrong. Don't think that you are the smartest person in the world. Others are blind, deaf, and stupid. "
After Mama Bao finished speaking, she straightened her back and bowed. Although it was a bow, it gave Qin Huining a feeling that she was despised again.
Qin Huining couldn't hold it anymore. She ran out of the door crying.
