Mammy Qin first glanced at her master to make sure that the old madam didn't have any objections. Then, she smiled and invited Qin Yining to the side. She whispered,
"Today, because of what Mama Bao said when she came to take you out, Miss Huining and First Madam got into a fight. Both of them have their own reasons and are very angry. Now, First Madam is crying sadly in Xingning Garden, and Miss Huining is also very wronged here. The old madam comforted one and comforted the other. She was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. She didn't even have much dinner today."
At this point, Mammy Qin sighed again. "Mama Bao is also too much. She humiliated Miss Huining in public. Miss Huining is thin-skinned. How can she bear it? If Miss Huining makes a scene, it will be the old madam who will be sad."
She was criticizing Duchess Ding.
In fact, if Qin Yining was sensible, she wouldn't have made a scene even if Mama Bao humiliated her.
This was clearly Family Qin. She didn't teach her children well and blamed others for it.
Could it be that if one wanted to reflect their children's family education, they shouldn't put in effort when teaching them?
Who could force their children to never encounter any trouble?
Mammy Qin said this because they were in different positions and each had their own master.
A son didn't speak of his father's mistakes. Qin Yining didn't want to speak of her elders' faults, and she was even more unwilling to speak of her mistakes behind her back. She could only frown worriedly.
"The old madam is in spring and autumn. She needs to take good care of her health. If she doesn't eat a meal, her heart will be filled with anger. How can her body bear it?"
Qin Yining went to the old madam worriedly. "Old madam, I know your difficulties today. I don't study much, but I know one sentence."
She picked up a white porcelain cup with a lid that was still warm. Inside was the cow's milk and swallow's nest that Mammy Qin had ordered people to send over. She sent a spoonful of swallow's nest to old madam's mouth.
"Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You only need to worry about your health. Our Family will have a stabilizing force. My father, Second Uncles, Third Uncles, and my cousins are working hard outside, so they don't have to worry about the matters of the inner residence. With you in charge of our family, we also have a pillar of support."
Qin Yining's big watery eyes revealed admiration and a smile. With such a gentle coaxing, old madam's heart softened. Originally, she didn't have any appetite, but now, she cooperated and opened her mouth to take a few spoonfuls.
Mammy Qin laughed when she saw this. She immediately went to get a handkerchief and warm water to rinse her mouth and waited at the side.
"You are the head of our family. Your health doesn't only belong to you. It also belongs to our Family. Not only do you have to take care of your health for yourself, you also have to take care of your health for the whole family. Let's not talk about others, but your granddaughter has just returned home. She doesn't know anything. In the future, there will be a lot of things for you to teach. "
Qin Yining's voice was soft and gentle, which made old madam's heart feel warm. Unknowingly, she saw the bottom of the cup of cow's milk and swallow's nest.
Mammy Qin sensibly came to serve old madam to rinse her mouth and wipe her mouth. She smiled and said, "Fourth Young Lady is right. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are the old ancestor and the head of the family. There are some things that you should just turn a blind eye to. It's fine if you see half of it and not see half of it. Why make things difficult for yourself? When you were young, you worked hard for this family. Now that you are the head of the family, you have a smooth career and bring honor to your ancestors. It's the time for you to enjoy your life. Why don't you treat yourself well? "
Perhaps it was because her mood had improved after eating something, or perhaps it was because Qin Yining's words had worked. Old madam, who had been depressed for the whole afternoon, finally showed a sincere smile. She sighed and said, "Forget it. You are all right."
When Mammy Qin saw old madam like this, her admiration for Qin Yining increased a little. She couldn't help but speak up for Qin Yining.
"In this servant's opinion, Fourth Young Lady really resembles the grand preceptor when he was young. Do you still remember that when you were sick that year, the grand preceptor was only ten years old? He stayed by your bedside and served you medicine without sleeping or resting. At that time, no matter how this servant persuaded the grand preceptor, he refused to go back. He insisted on staying by your side. In the early morning, he couldn't help but lie on the edge of the bed and fall asleep. "
Under the warm light, the appearance of Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan, which resembled each other, appeared even softer. Old madam liked them from the beginning. With Mammy Qin's words, she remembered the filial Qin Huaiyuan. The happiness of being taken care of by a child couldn't help but transfer to Qin Yining.
Old madam hugged Qin Yining and patted her back. "Good child, your father is good. You are so similar to your father. You are also a good child. In the past, you suffered a lot. At that time, grandmother also said bad things in anger. Are you sad?"
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when she heard this. However, her eyes were a little hot.
No matter how old madam would treat her in the future, at this moment, she could feel that old madam's affection for her was sincere.
"Grandmother, what are you saying?" Qin Yining immediately changed the way she addressed her. "We are a family. I am your biological granddaughter. You can discipline your granddaughter however you want. It's all for my own good. How can I be sad?"
"You are really a good child." Old madam hugged Qin Yining and patted her back comfortingly as if she was coaxing a child. "Grandmother will take good care of you in the future and make up for all the past years. What do you think?"
"As long as I can serve grandmother by her side, granddaughter is already satisfied." Qin Yining rubbed against old madam's arms.
The atmosphere in the room was very warm. Even the flickering of the candlelight appeared cheerful.
Mammy Qin seemed to be infected by the happiness between grandmother and granddaughter. She also felt happy and couldn't help smiling.
Who knew that at this moment, a scream broke the warm tranquility in the room.
"Not good! Someone come quickly! Huining girl has thrown herself to the sea! "
Old madam was so shocked that she almost fell off the bed. "What? Did you hear what they shouted? Sister Hui has thrown herself to the sea?
”
Mammy Qin secretly scolded the people who were shouting outside and comforted, "Don't panic. This servant will go and take a look."
"No, no, no, I heard it clearly. They said that Sister Hui has thrown herself to the sea?" Old madam got up in a panic and walked out without wearing her shoes.
Qin Yining hurriedly carried her shoes and chased after her. "Grandmother, put on your shoes first. Granddaughter will help you out."
Mammy Qin also took a large sweater to help old madam wear it. Only then did she and Qin Yining help old madam out of the room.
At this time, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi had already instructed the maidservant to come over with a lantern. The group of people walked along the corridor to the warm room where Qin Huining lived.
Not long after they walked, the sound of a maidservant crying for help could be heard.
"Miss, you can't take things too hard."
"For better or for worse, you should think about old madam. You still have old madam."
"Miss, if you do this, won't you make your loved ones suffer and your enemies happy!"
… …
What "loved ones"? What "enemies"? Were they trying to persuade her or adding firewood to the fire?
Mammy Qin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She looked at old madam inquiringly.
Old madam's expression was also not very good.
The door of the warm room was wide open. Qin Huining stood on a black wooden stool with legs and a girdle around her waist. She pulled the white silk with both hands and crossed her legs to hang her neck inside.
Mama Cai, Bi Tong, and Bi Tong were hugging her legs, legs, and even kneeling down to kowtow. Their cries and sniffles were a mess.
"What are you doing!" Old madam was so angry that her body was trembling. "Sister Hui, why aren't you coming down!"
"I, I don't have the face to live anymore. Grandmother, please let me go like this. " Qin Huining's tears were pouring down like rain, and her clothes were wet. "I was humiliated like this today. Mother also refused to acknowledge me. My heart is about to break. Old madam, granddaughter is unfilial. Please allow me to go. Let me go!"
"Go where? You are a Family Qin girl. Where else do you want to go? Come down! "Old madam was angry and distressed. She ordered everyone," You, help your master down! "
"Yes!" Mama Cai, Bi Tong, and Bi Tao hurriedly stood up.
Qin Huining had achieved her goal. She cried and softened her body. She fell down and hit Bi Tong and Mama Cai. The two used a lot of strength to prevent Qin Huining from getting hurt, but they themselves were in pain from falling and hitting.
Bi Tao pulled Qin Huining's hand and said, "Miss, please get up. Don't make old madam sad."
Qin Huining shook off Bi Tao's hand and knelt in front of old madam. She hugged old madam's leg and cried, "Grandmother, why did you ask them to save me! Just let me die! "
Old madam frowned. Although her heart ached for Qin Huining, she also felt angry when she saw her doing this.
"Sister Hui! What do you want to do by crying and making a fuss? Your father has just been promoted to the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. The family is celebrating. Who are you cursing?! "
Qin Huining suddenly raised her head and looked at old madam in disbelief.
Old madam frowned and said, "I know you feel wronged, but you should be more sensible. Don't you know your mother's temperament? Why did you provoke her? Can't grandmother's kindness to you make up for the grievances in your heart? "
"No, it's not." Qin Huining covered her face and sobbed. She used this action to hide the malevolence on her face.
Sure enough, even old madam didn't dote on her anymore …
"It's not? But what did I see? You live in my courtyard, but you deliberately hung yourself to block my heart. You have resentment in your heart! "
Old madam doted on Qin Huining the most. After reprimanding her, she couldn't bear it. She could only turn her anger to the people around Qin Huining.
"Cai shi, you are a wet nurse. The child is insensible, but you are also insensible? Your master hung the white silk on the beam, but you didn't know to stop her? Later, you hugged her thigh and cried. Who are you putting on this act for?! Do you believe that I won't hang you up?! "
Mama Cai's face turned pale. She trembled and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "This servant has failed in her duty. This servant doesn't dare."
Old madam's forehead was throbbing, and her body was also trembling.
Qin Yining saw this and hurriedly said, "Mammy Qin, I'll have to trouble you to help grandmother go back first. Don't get angry and harm your body. Miss Huining has always been sensible. Today, she must have been impulsive. I'll persuade her again. I think she will be able to think things through soon. "
Mammy Qin nodded and left this place to Qin Yining to handle. She then kindly persuaded old madam to go back.
Old madam wasn't feeling well. When she saw that Qin Yining was willing to give Qin Huining a way out, she felt relieved and went to rest.
When all of old madam's people left, only the sobbing Qin Huining and the kneeling Mama Cai, Bi Tong, and Bi Tao were left in the room, Qin Yining sneered.
"First crying, second throwing a tantrum, and third threatening to hang yourself. Qin Huining, do you think you're performing on stage? What, do you think the house is too peaceful?! "
"Who do you think you are?! Get out! "Qin Huining jumped up with red eyes and pushed Qin Yining.
However, Qin Yining grabbed Qin Huining's slender neck!
