Qin Yining knew that Cao Yuqing was a straightforward person when she spoke so bluntly. She might as well make things clear today.
"Aunt Cao, I understand what you're thinking. I believe that with my father's intelligence, he also understands what you're thinking. My father naturally has his reasons for doing what he's doing. That's a matter between you and your elders. It's normal for my mother to be jealous. To put it bluntly, if there was someone like Aunt Cao, who is several times better than me in appearance, talent, and character, who has always been infatuated with my husband, I would also be jealous.
"But Aunt Cao, no matter how jealous my mother is or what my father thinks, in my heart, you're a very good elder. You're like an elder sister to me. Our family has suffered so much, but you've never left my father. When we were besieged by Wang Ye in Dayan, if it weren't for you, my father would have been long gone.
"I don't care about the love and hatred between elders. Anyway, in my heart, I believe that you're a good person who values affection and righteousness. I also feel that I hit it off with you. That's why I don't look at others when we're friends. Aunt Cao, you're really good to me and treat me like a member of your family. Don't I also treat you like my own aunt? "
Qin Yining's words pierced straight into Cao Yuqing's heart.
Cao Yuqing's sincerity towards Qin Huaiyuan could be seen by heaven and earth. However, life was unpredictable. She always had to make so many helpless choices, and in the end, it led her to this point.
She wasn't afraid of being alone. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get close to Qin Huaiyuan. It didn't matter if Qin Huaiyuan was loyal to his wife or if he really didn't like her. Anyway, her love for Qin Huaiyuan had always been her own business. She never needed Qin Huaiyuan to take any responsibility.
It was just that in the dead of night, he sometimes felt lost. When his Family Qin was hated by the Sun Clan, he also felt that torturing himself was really cheap.
But with Qin Huaiyuan's status and environment, how could there be no one around to protect him?
It was precisely because she hoped that Qin Huaiyuan would live well. Even if he lived to a hundred years old and still only treated her as a close friend, she would still be willing to endure hardship.
Cao Yuqing had never thought that Qin Yining would sincerely accept her one day. She knew that Qin Yining was a girl who valued relationships. Because of her experiences in her youth, she longed for the warmth of a family and the motherly love of the Sun Clan. After going through so many ups and downs, she finally received the maternal love of the Sun Clan. Naturally, she was wholeheartedly filial to the Sun Clan.
At first, when she was ordered to stay by Qin Huaiyuan's side and pretend to be his concubine, she sometimes really thought of herself as Qin Huaiyuan's concubine, and expressed her envy and jealousy towards the Sun Clan. At that time, Qin Yining's zeal to protect the Sun Clan was like a little beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
But over the years, they had gone through trials and tribulations together, and they had gone through fire and water together. She finally moved this little beast with her sincerity and made her put away her claws and fangs.
Cao Yuqing finally felt that her efforts were not in vain.
Even if she didn't receive Qin Huaiyuan's love, she felt that it was worth it to receive Qin Yining's approval and be willing to sincerely treat her as her aunt.
Cao Yuqing was a strong person, and she wouldn't cry easily.
But at this time, she felt that her nose was sour and her eyes were hot. Tears almost fell from her eyes.
Cao Yuqing looked away in embarrassment. She didn't want Qin Yining to see her like this.
Qin Yining keenly noticed this, but didn't say anything. Instead, she went forward and hugged Cao Yuqing.
"Aunt Cao, I will be filial to you in the future. In the future, if you are tired outside, you can come to my house. I will treat you well. In the future, if Pang Zhixi and I have a son, I can ask you to teach my son martial arts. Your martial arts are so strong, so learning from you is the right thing to do. "
Cao Yuqing wiped away her tears at an angle that Qin Yining couldn't see. After a long time, she calmed down and scolded jokingly, "You little girl, you're dreaming. You're already thinking about my martial arts? If we're talking about martial arts, I'm not allowed to cheat or assassinate. I probably can't even last 20 moves against your Wang Ye. You still want me to teach you? "
"That's not the same. If I learn from you and Wang Ye, I'll be even stronger."
Cao Yuqing burst into laughter. "You greedy little girl. Later, I'll tell your Wang Ye and let him laugh at you! "
When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Cao Yuqing also laughed along.
That night, the two of them slept side by side. This was the most peaceful and warmest night Qin Yining had slept that night.
Early the next morning, the tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe went out to scout the way.
Cao Yuqing also went out to scout after eating her rations.
After making sure of the direction, they left the valley and headed for the vast land in the west. With Cao Yuqing's help, Qin Yining was very happy, and their journey was very smooth.
On the afternoon of the third day, the scout in front suddenly ran back and reported, "Four or five people have appeared ahead. Judging from their clothes, they should be from Da Zhou. They're all riding horses. If we continue forward, we'll meet them."
Cao Yuqing raised her eyebrows. She shook the reins in her hand and said, "I'll go check out the situation." Then she spurred her horse and left.
Qin Yining checked the surrounding terrain and told everyone to be on guard so that they could meet the enemy at any time.
After a short while, Cao Yuqing spurred her horse back.
She brought five people with her. They were all wearing cotton-padded cloaks and hats. It was obvious that they were from Da Zhou just by looking at their physiques.
When the people came up to them, Cao Yuqing smiled and said, "They're acquaintances. Sister Yi, they're people you know."
Before Qin Yining could say anything, Lu Heng beside him said in surprise, "Feiying, Feilian?"
When they heard this, the two middle-aged men who were originally on guard looked over. When they met Lu Heng's gaze, they were delighted. They jumped off their horses and rushed over. They fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Second Master! We've finally found you! "
Lu Heng quickly went forward to help them. He patted the snow off their foreheads and said happily, "It's really you guys!"
"Second Master, it's great that you're fine!"
The other three people also got off their horses and walked over to Qin Yining to salute him.
"Alliance Chief, we've finally found you!"
Qin Yining said in surprise, "Why are you guys here?"
He was a little depressed that they directly called him 'Alliance Chief'.
The people who came were none other than the three Hall Masters she met when she first took over the Qingtian Alliance from her grandmother. They were Liao Zhibing, who used to be a swordsman, Zhao Yinuo, and Zhao Wanjin, who used to be bandits.
However, when he saw Liao Zhibing, Qin Yining couldn't help but think of Mrs. Liao who was abandoned by Si Qin in the desert.
