"Yes, old matriarch." Qin Huining and Miss Ba both stood up, bowed, and then quietly retreated.
When they reached the corridor, Qin Huining pulled Miss Ba's hand and said in a low voice, "Does meimei know what old matriarch wants to talk about?"
Miss Ba remembered that old matriarch had ordered her to serve Pang Xiao tea that day, and her face flushed red. Thinking of Pang Xiao's uninhibited but handsome face, her face burned even hotter.
When Qin Huining saw Miss Ba's appearance, she immediately had a guess in her heart. An indescribable jealousy and envy filled her bones.
Originally, she was the most favored daughter in this family. After enjoying that kind of glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, she was now in the dust and could only watch others obtain happiness.
She was the same age as Qin Yining. Qin Yining was able to marry such a heroic and brave man, but she didn't even see the shadow of a marriage. She also didn't see the elders in the family planning for her. How could she not hate and not be jealous?
Qin Huining took a deep breath and used a lot of strength to not let her face show any dissatisfaction and unwillingness.
In the past, she had many confrontations with Qin Yining, so her good reputation had long been wiped clean in this family. Now, even if Qin Yining disappeared and wasn't in this family, most of the people in the family still spoke for Qin Yining. Especially the Sun Clan. In the past, she didn't see her, as a mother, care much for her daughter. However, ever since Qin Yining disappeared, the Sun Clan washed their faces with tears every day. They didn't eat or drink and had lost a lot of weight. They often choked with sobs and said they were sorry for their daughter.
What Qin Huining didn't like to see the Sun Clan's tearful faces the most right now.
That would remind her that her mother, who had once treasured her, had long abandoned her.
She admitted that she had done something wrong.
However, the Sun Clan abandoned her just like that. They lived in the same residence all day long and acted as if they didn't see her. Wasn't this too heartless?
When Miss Eight saw that Qin Huining had ignored her for a long time, she couldn't help but feel strange. When she looked at Qin Huining and saw the unconcealable viciousness in her eyes, Miss Eight was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and her face immediately turned pale.
Thinking of Qin Huining's previous actions, Miss Eight subtly took two steps back and said, "I'm also tired. Sister Hui, you should also go and rest." Finished speaking, she curtsied, turned around, and left.
Qin Huining gritted his teeth. After a long while, he spat out, "What a despicable person!"
However, Qin Huining told herself that she had already gotten used to it. She had seen a lot of things in the past.
Now that she knew that after Qin Yining went missing, it was very likely that her family would send another daughter to the Prince Zhongshun's mansion. She had no choice but to make a plan for herself. Right now, she and Miss Eight were the only daughters of suitable age in the family. If she didn't grasp the opportunity to choose one out of the two, then the Heavens would laugh at her for being weak.
While Qin Huining was pondering outside, old madam had already pulled Qin Huaiyuan's hand and said earnestly, "Meng Ge 'er, Mother knows that Sister Yi is missing. Your heart is distressed and anxious. You only have one daughter. With such a thing happening to her, how can the family not be anxious? However, you also have to consider our Family Qin. "
When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he looked at old madam. After a long while, he asked, "Mother's meaning is?"
Old madam said, "Now that Sister Yi is missing, there's no woman in Prince Zhongshun's residence to serve him. I think that Prince Zhongshun loves our family's Sister Yi very much. Then, he won't dislike the girls in our Family Qin. I was thinking that it would be better to send Miss Eight to be a concubine. Although Miss Eight is born of a concubine, she is beautiful and kind. Her temperament is fixed. Before Sister Yi got married, she was also the closest to Miss Eight.
"In the future, if Sister Yi comes back, the two of them will be able to get along well. If Sister Yi … really has an accident, then Miss Eight will be promoted from a concubine to a second wife. She will sit firmly in the position of Prince Zhongshun's concubine. It will also be a great help to our Family Qin. "
Old madam smiled and pulled Qin Huaiyuan's hand, "This is our Family Qin's matter. Meng Ge 'er, you can't refuse without any consideration just because you love Sister Yi."
Although old madam was smiling and discussing with Qin Huaiyuan, it was clear that she had already made up her mind.
Second Furen didn't speak. It was clear that she didn't want to wade in muddy water. After all, Miss Eight was the daughter of the third branch. Now, the third branch didn't have a mistress. Third Master didn't say anything. Han Second Young Mistress also didn't say anything. It wasn't her turn to speak.
However, Han Second Young Mistress smiled and said, "I think old madam is right. My sister-in-law is a pure and good girl. Eldest Uncle also knows. In the future, she will be a companion for Sister Yi. The two of them will get along well. "
When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he lowered his eyes and didn't immediately answer.
However, the Sun Clan at the side couldn't bear it anymore and flipped the tea table.
With a loud crash, the cups, plates, bowls, and plates all fell to the ground. The sound of porcelain shattering seemed to pierce through people's eardrums, startling the few people who were originally smiling and scheming.
Old madam blankly stroked her chest.
Second Furen and Han Second Young Mistress also took two steps back.
The Sun Clan's face was red with anger. Her chest was violently heaving. She pointed at old madam and Han Second Young Mistress. Her lips moved, but under her anger, she couldn't say a complete sentence.
However, her eyes were bloodshot, and her appearance was too frightening. Even the sound of her breathing, which sounded like bellows, was eerie and frightening.
Qin Huaiyuan stood up and supported the Sun Clan. He gently comforted, "Alright, don't be angry. If you hurt your body, won't you be the one to suffer? You have to take good care of your body so that you can help Sister Yi in the future. Isn't that right? "
The Sun Clan looked at Qin Huaiyuan. That anger that couldn't come up and go down finally dissipated. Tears also gushed out.
Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly reached out and gently patted the Sun Clan's back.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan actually went to comfort that shrew, old madam's face sank.
"Brother Meng, you …"
"Mother."
Qin Huaiyuan gently interrupted old madam's words. He said tiredly, "In the future, please don't have any ideas about Sister Yi's family. Sister Hui and Bao Jie 'er's marriage will be over in the future. I will help arrange it. However, the current situation is tense. It's not the time to discuss their marriage.
"As for being a concubine and serving the same husband, mother, please don't mention it again. Sister Yi is alive and well now. Son-in-law only has her in his heart. As a grandmother, why do you have to do such a laborious and thankless thing? "
Old madam didn't expect that she would be reprimanded by her son. She was so angry that her eyes widened. She said incredulously, "You, you say I'm laborious and thankless? You're disdaining me, this old woman! "
"Mother. The current situation is really tense. I'm already mentally and physically exhausted outside. I don't have the energy to take care of the matters in the inner residence. Mother, please save some trouble and maintain the current situation in the inner residence for the time being. As for Sister Yi's marriage, no one should think of interfering. You can't get past me. "
After Qin Huaiyuan finished speaking, he supported the tearful Sun Clan member and walked out.
Old madam looked at the back view of Qin Huaiyuan and his wife as they walked out. She was so angry that her face turned red. She fiercely hammered the mattress.
"Really rebellious, rebellious! After marrying a wife, he forgot his mother! This white-eyed wolf, ungrateful bastard. I loved him so much in vain. I loved him the most. Now, he actually refuted me for a wretched girl! "
As old madam spoke, she began to sob. She cried that the heavens were unfair. She cried that her husband died early. She cried that her son was unfilial. In any case, the whole world had let her down.
Second Furen and Han Second Young Mistress were somewhat helpless. They couldn't watch old madam cry until her body was damaged. They could only persuade her. However, the more they persuaded, the louder her cries became. She often looked at the door through the gaps between her fingers, as if she was expecting Qin Huaiyuan to come back and apologize.
Qin Huaiyuan listened to the sounds coming from old madam's room. He acted as if he didn't hear it. He supported Sun Clan member and said, "Mother's words, don't take it to heart. I can still handle Sister Yi's matter. If I say no, no one will bully our Sister Yi. "
Sun Clan member nodded and sobbed, "I'm sorry for that child. I haven't had the time to treat her well. If something really happens to her, how can I live?"
"That won't happen. You can be at ease. Sister Yi is a child with good fortune. Even if she encounters some setbacks, she will definitely be able to turn misfortune into blessing. Moreover, I just received news that Sister Yi is now in Tatan and is living well. You shouldn't let your imagination run wild. "
"Really?" Sun Clan member forgot to cry. She said in surprise, "Laoye, is what you said true? You didn't deliberately say this to comfort this concubine? "
"How could I deceive you." Qin Huaiyuan pulled Sun Clan member back to the room. He held her shoulder and said, "Although I can't be called a heroic figure, I still consider myself a gentleman. I won't deceive you."
"I know, I know. I'm just too happy! Sister Yi is alive, is she really alive? "
"Yes, she is really alive. Although she encountered some trouble, you can rest assured that with me and son-in-law here, she will be fine."
Qin Huaiyuan didn't explain the specific matter to Sun Clan. First, he was afraid that Sun Clan would be worried. Second, women were talkative. Some things needed to be kept secret and couldn't be casually spread outside. It was easy to get into trouble.
Sun Clan member's tears turned into smiles and said, "As long as she is alive, it's fine. As long as she is alive, there is hope. Our family hasn't done anything bad. The heavens won't be so cruel. "
"Yes. So you shouldn't cry anymore. If you hurt your body and Sister Yi comes back and thinks that I mistreated you, I won't be able to explain myself. "
Hearing this, Sun Clan member's tears turned into smiles. She gently patted Qin Huaiyuan's shoulder and leaned into Qin Huaiyuan's embrace.
Qin Huaiyuan hugged Sun Clan member. In a place where she couldn't see, he frowned with worry.

After a night of rest, the Minuo tribe members finally recovered some of their energy.
Last night, some of the leaders of the clan had already told these people what Qin Yining had said in a different way during their private chats.
Early in the morning, Harbala and Chaganbala gathered the tribe members and gave them a speech.
