"Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law are also sad because they lost their child. Moreover, the political affairs in the imperial court are indeed tense. Eldest Brother is now the person Your Majesty wants to enter the cabinet. Many factions are watching eldest brother's every move. If things go wrong, he will lose his life. I'm just incompetent and can only be a small official in the Ministry of Rites. If I have the ability, I can also help eldest brother.
"Mother, we're a family. Everyone knows how much Big Brother and Sister-in-law have paid for the family over the years. Third Brother and I are very grateful. Mother, don't be unhappy with Big Brother because of these things. Instead, you'll distract Big Brother."
Old madam was very sad.
Now, she really saw through Qin Huaiyuan and felt that he was no longer the filial son who was obedient to her in the past. She put all her love on this son and even neglected the second son of the first wife for so many years.
Now, when she was sad, wasn't it her second son who came to coax her?
Moreover, Second Old Master's words really gave old madam a way out.
She couldn't find a reason to refute the Sun Clan and didn't dare to do anything to her eldest son. In the future, she still had to rely on him, so she could only swallow this anger.
If she didn't speak now, everyone would think that she was giving in to the Sun Clan as an old person.
Therefore, old madam wiped her tears and didn't scold people, let alone ask Qin Huaiyuan to divorce the Sun Clan. In any case, she could see that Qin Huaiyuan wouldn't be obedient and divorce his wife.
Qin Huaiyuan saw that old madam was coaxed by Second Old Master with a few words and the crying Sun Clan in his arms finally stopped wailing. His heart relaxed a bit.
"Mother." Qin Huaiyuan patted the Sun Clan's shoulder and said, "You're in spring and autumn now, so you should enjoy your remaining years. In the future, you shouldn't worry about the family's affairs, the marriage of your children, or the household's chores. You just need to take care of your own body, live a long life, and let your son be filial to you for a long time. "
Qin Huaiyuan's words made old madam's eyes turn red again and she screamed, "You unfilial son! Are you trying to rebel?! "
By doing this, Qin Huaiyuan was sternly and clearly warning the Dowager Duchess, letting her know her place and live her own life. She should no longer stretch her hand into other rooms and meddle carelessly. He also didn't need her to take care of the money and things in the inner residence.
"Mother, that's all I have to say. If Mother really doesn't like us, we can only move out. "
Qin Huaiyuan bowed again and said, "Just now, it was Your Majesty who brought people to our mansion. Your Majesty is suspicious of me. I've been trembling in fear in the Imperial Court, and I'm already very tired. I just wanted to go home and relax my tense nerves. I didn't want to cause any more trouble. Please understand, Mother. "
After saying that, Qin Huaiyuan dragged the Sun Clan out.
Everyone was shocked by the news that Your Majesty had come in person and sent people to search their house.
Second Master wasn't in the front just now, so he didn't see Li Qitian. Therefore, he only found out about this news now.
Old madam was so scared that her whole body trembled. She tightly grabbed Second Master's hand and said, "You, what your eldest brother said just now … That's not right. That group of people was clearly searching for in-laws. How could it be Your Majesty who brought them to our house?"
Second Master was also caught unprepared by this news. He stood up and said, "Mother, right now, the situation in the Imperial Court is really tense. Son will go and discuss countermeasures with eldest brother. You must not cry again."
"Okay, okay, okay. Quickly go!" Compared to competing with her daughter-in-law, old madam cared more about her own life. She repeatedly waved her hand and urged Second Master to go out.
Second Master also came out with Second Madam.
When they reached the corridor, they saw that the servants in the courtyard were all standing far away. Eighth Young Miss and Qin Huining were standing far away under the eaves of the corridor and talking. They didn't dare to approach.
Second Master whispered to Second Madam, "Look after Mother. Don't let her cause trouble again. This time's matter isn't ordinary. I will go and ask eldest brother. "
Second Madam whispered, "I don't dare. What if I say too much and Mother makes you divorce me?"
Second Master was so angry that he rolled his eyes and reprimanded, "Nonsense!" Then, he turned around and hurriedly left.
Second Madam took a breath of the cold winter air and breathed on her hands. Thinking of the words that the Sun Clan had just scolded old madam, she felt refreshed to the bottom of her heart.
She had long disliked old madam's attitude. Almost every word that the Sun Clan had scolded was what she was thinking. Not only did the Sun Clan feel distressed for Qin Yining, Second Madam had also always remembered how good Qin Yining was. Humans weren't plants. There weren't many people who could be as ungrateful and short-sighted as old madam.
Second Madam stood outside for a while before returning to her room. She saw that Han Second Young Mistress was serving old madam. She was happy and relaxed, so she didn't approach. Instead, she sat down on the heated kang bed in the outer room and took a cup of tea from a maidservant to warm her hands.
In the study in the front yard, Qin Huaiyuan, Second Master, Third Master, Qin Han, and Qin Yu were gathered together. They were discussing the matter of Li Qitian's visit.
Qin Huaiyuan whispered, "Son-in-law brought the troops to the Tatan to find Sister Yi. Your Majesty suspects that Son-in-law is colluding with the Dragon Legion and is plotting something. He hurriedly went to the prince's mansion but didn't see his in-laws. Thus, he suspected our mansion and came to find us.
”
"So that's how it is." Qin Han said, "I didn't expect brother-in-law to have such a plan."
Qin Yu also praised, "That's right. For the sake of Fourth Sister, brother-in-law has defied imperial edicts many times."
Second Master and Third Master weren't as relaxed as the young people.
Second Master was silent, calculating the current situation in his heart.
Third Master said worriedly, "Your Majesty came to our house and didn't find anyone. Can he trust us? Big Brother, if you say that you didn't participate in this matter, Your Majesty definitely won't believe it. "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled bitterly, "That's right. However, Your Majesty suspects me right now, but he doesn't have any evidence to prove that I hid your in-laws' family. Moreover, Your Majesty won't do anything to them even if they were captured. At most, they will be placed under house arrest in the palace as hostages. "
"If Son-in-law doesn't have hostages, he can do things without worry. There's nothing bad about this. " Third Master said straightforwardly, "Big Brother, don't worry. Son-in-law is very capable. If he is willing to find Sister Yi, Sister Yi will most likely be fine. As for Your Majesty's suspicions, let him be. In any case, we are not afraid of crooked shadows. It's not like we are harboring them. Let Your Majesty think whatever he wants. "
Second Master thought for a moment and said, "Even so, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will suspect big brother from now on and won't attach importance to you."
When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry. Although Your Majesty doesn't completely trust me, he still needs me. Our residence is fine for the time being. However, during this period of time, we should think of a way out. "
"A way out?" Second Master and Third Master said in unison.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed, "That's right. It's better to be safe than sorry. I've learned my lesson today. "
When they thought of the assassin's massacre on Dayan, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and felt uncomfortable all over. The atmosphere became oppressive again.
Especially Qin Yu and Third Master. They had both lost their wives, and Third Master had also lost his son.
Everyone's mood was very depressed and sad.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed, "Born in troubled times, we can only forge ahead, make all the preparations, and then support each other to move forward. It's okay. I will carefully observe the situation outside and take control of everything. Don't worry. "
"Good. I've always been at ease with big brother's work. "
"Me too. Uncle always chooses the right direction every time. We are also at ease. "
Seeing that his two younger brothers and two nephews trusted him so much, Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile for the first time today.
However, he was silently praying in his heart. He only hoped that Sister Yi was safe now and that Pang Xiao could quickly find her. After he found her, even if she wandered the world and never came back, it was still better than being a sacrifice in war.

Qin Yining, who was worried about his family, was not feeling well at all at this time.
The terrain of the desert in the no man's land was ever-changing. A moment ago, there were hills, but after sleeping, it became flat land. Moreover, in winter, the temperature during the day was not very high, but the night was very cold.
Although they brought enough food and water, the desert was very bumpy. In addition, Qin Yining had refused Cao Yuqing's offer to take her with them and followed the tribe into the desert. She was already prepared to die. Whether it was physically or mentally, her endurance was almost at its limit.
Especially after she thought everything through and understood that she might die, Qin Yining's taut string suddenly seemed to break. Her body was also weakening day by day. It seemed that the loss of blood caused by the previous injuries was caused by the cold this time.
Fortunately, because Qin Yining was carrying heavy supplies this time and after she fell ill, the tribe was very worried and worked together to make a handcart for her.
Qin Yining was wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket and lying alone in the carriage. She was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep.
Lu Heng and Uncle Arhan followed the carriage, one on the left and one on the right. They covered their mouths and noses with scarves, squinted their eyes to resist the wind and sand, and looked at Qin Yining worriedly.
"We don't know where we are now. If this goes on, I'm afraid the tribe leader won't be able to survive!"
After this time, Uncle Arhan privately called Qin Yining and Lu Heng the tribe leader.
Lu Heng said, "There is no other way now. We have already given her medicine, but the environment in the desert is too bad for her recovery."
"Fortunately, there is a carriage." Uncle Arhan sighed.
Chaganbara spat out the sand in his mouth and said, "Why don't we turn around and go back? Send the tribe leader out of the desert first? The environment outside is much better than here. "
Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? When we entered the desert, the pursuers were already very close. They were chasing after our footsteps, but when they saw us enter the desert, they didn't dare to chase after us. Under such circumstances, they will definitely not dare to go back and report to Khan. They will definitely wait outside. "
