As soon as Qin Huaiyuan and his two younger brothers entered the main hall, they saw the Sun Clan quickly walking out to greet them.
"Master, did Sister Yi come back? When I was on the street today, I heard people talking about this matter! "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, Hong En, arranged for Sister Yi and Wang Ye to live in the Imperial Manor outside the capital."
The Sun Clan said, "But won't they come home? Sister Yi got married in June last year. I haven't seen her for almost a year. I really miss her. I don't know if she suffered in the Tatan. I also don't know if Wang Ye still trusts and loves her as much as before. "
Qin Huaiyuan saw that the Sun Clan was frowning with worry as they spoke, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Wang Ye is an official that Your Majesty likes. How can he be someone who likes the new and hates the old? Sister Yi should be able to come home soon. "
At this time, the Sun Clan also heard that Qin Huaiyuan's tone was different from usual. They immediately became alert and nodded with a stiff face, "Yes, Master is right. Your Majesty is a wise ruler, Wang Ye is a loyal official, and Sister Yi isn't an unvirtuous daughter-in-law. There shouldn't be any problems. "
Qin Huaiyuan nodded, and the family went to the back to pay their respects to the old madam.
The old madam fell ill again a few days ago, so her spirit wasn't very good. In addition, she was too disappointed with Qin Huaiyuan. Now that she saw Qin Huaiyuan, she didn't have a good expression. Instead, she doted on her second son.
After they saluted, the old madam said, "You're back. Brother Xiu, come sit with mother. It's warm. "
Second Master nodded with a smile and sat in front of the old madam. Second Madam also personally brought hot tea for them.
The old madam didn't even look at her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. She didn't even look at Third Master. She pulled Second Master and chatted enthusiastically. Finally, they talked about Prince Zhongshun's return to the capital.
"I just heard them say it. Is it true?"
Second Master's expression froze.
Who was so talkative that they actually told the old madam about what happened outside?
The old madam's health wasn't good. She needed to rest. The most important thing was that Pang Xiao was sent to the Imperial Plantation. People who didn't know that Your Majesty cared for his subjects, but those who knew that it was a disguised house arrest in disguise. they didn't know what would happen next. they didn't know what would happen next.
In that kind of situation, he didn't know if it would implicate the Qin family.
Therefore, there must be many pairs of eyes watching the Qin family now.
Second Old Master was very worried that Old Madam would say something unpleasant that would cause trouble when it reached His Majesty's ears. He immediately looked at Qin Huaiyuan for help.
In the past, his eldest brother was more experienced in dealing with such matters. But now, he couldn't think of how to deal with it.
Qin Huaiyuan received his second master's gaze and said, "Mother, rest well and recuperate. You can't meddle in the matters outside. Asking will only be a waste of time."
Hearing this, the old madam immediately said angrily, "What? I don't even have the qualifications to ask? You took away my power to manage the affairs of the general public, and now you want me to be blind, deaf, and mute? You unfilial son! "
Qin Huaiyuan said helplessly, "Mother, calm down. Don't get angry. Be careful not to hurt your body. "
Old madam said, "If you talk less, I might be able to live for a few more years! Besides, I'm talking to Brother Xiu. Why are you interrupting? "
The old madam said earnestly to her second master, "There are many rumors outside. They all say that Pang Zhixi failed to live up to Your Majesty's good intentions. He betrayed the country and surrendered to the Tatan for a woman. Now that he's back, I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with him.
"Our family is unlucky to have become in-laws with the Pang Family. It's all because of Sister Yi, that troublemaker, who brought disaster to our family. Now, looking at Your Majesty's attitude, perhaps he will convict the Pang Family. Fortunately, only Sister Yi married into the Pang Family. I'm wise. I didn't marry Miss Eight to the Pang Family. Otherwise, wouldn't something big happen?
"What I mean is, all of you better behave yourselves and cut off all ties with the Yun family. Don't let them drag you down. Our Family has gone through so many ups and downs. It's not easy for us to live a stable life now. I don't want anything to happen to our family because of this matter. I can't afford it. "
The old madam shook her head as she spoke. She looked as if the heavens had turned their backs on her, but she was still very kind.
Madam Sun was infuriated when she heard this. If this old madam wasn't Qin Huaiyuan's biological mother, she would have already slapped her!
Ungrateful, despicable, and shameless people were exactly this kind of people!
The Sun Clan didn't feel like quarreling with this old woman. They also felt that if they angered her to death, it wouldn't be worth it to bear the infamy for her in the future. Therefore, they got up and went out.
The old madam looked at the Sun Clan's back and sneered. "You can't teach your daughter well, and now you're putting on airs with me."
Second Master, Third Master, and Second Madam were very embarrassed. Especially when they saw Qin Huaiyuan's face become more and more unsightly.
Third Master persuaded, "Eldest Brother, don't take it to heart. Mother is old and somewhat muddle-headed."
When the old madam heard this, she threw a pillow at him on the spot. "You're raised by a lowly woman. It's your turn to talk about me! Get out! "
It was true that Third Master was a concubine's son, but in the early years of the Dayan imperial court, the entire Family's expenses, except for Qin Huaiyuan's and Second Master's monthly salary, were mostly paid by the third branch. Third Master and the late Third Madam had contributed a lot to the Family back then.
Now, the old madam actually didn't remember the good at that time and scolded them. Third Master couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and snorted coldly, "You said that others can't teach their daughter well. I want to know what kind of person can teach a di mother like you. Heartless, ungrateful! You never remember what others have done for you. You turn hostile and refuse to recognize them when they're slightly inferior to your thoughts. You actually deserve to be the head of the family! "
"Rebel, rebel! Drive this vile spawn out! "
"There's no need to drive me out. I'm too lazy to look at you! Since you don't treat me as your son, I also don't want to be a part of your family! "
Third Master turned and left. When he reached the door, he said, "Eldest brother and second brother also saw it. It's not that I'm unreasonable, but the old madam is really hateful. You two are biological brothers, but you should be on guard. Don't let the old madam instigate dissension. If we three brothers are not united, the Family will be broken. "
The old madam was so angry that she covered her chest with one hand and pointed at Third Master with the other. She couldn't help but cough.
Third Master lifted the curtain and went out. Only then did she fiercely spit.
At this time, other than Mammy Qin, there was only Qin Huaiyuan, Second Master, and his wife left in the room.
Qin Huaiyuan then said, "Mother is a smart person. She knows how to judge the situation. I won't say much. Presumably, mother knows about these things. This son will take his leave first.
”
Qin Huaiyuan stood up and saluted before retreating.
The old madam turned her head and didn't look at Qin Huaiyuan. However, from the corner of her eyes, she kept looking at his figure as he left. Seeing that he didn't turn back even once, she was even angrier.
In the end, he was the son she used to love the most. Now, because of his wife and child, he was separated from her and ignored his efforts all these years.
The old madam was overcome with grief. She pulled Second Master and began to complain tearfully, "My life is bitter! After marrying into the Family, I didn't have a good life. Back then, your father … "
Second Master could only listen quietly. He felt very helpless in his heart. However, the old madam was his biological mother. When encountering this kind of thing, he couldn't hit or scold her. He could only endure.
Second Madam had long heard the old madam's complaints. Calluses had already formed in her ears. She was too lazy to pay attention to the increasingly unreasonable old madam. She also quietly retreated.
When she lifted the curtain and went out, she saw Qin Huaiyuan standing in the corridor with his hands behind his back.
Second Madam sighed softly and walked forward, saying, "Eldest Uncle, don't be sad. Mother is in the Spring and Autumn Period. She is indeed a bit muddle-headed. Sometimes, her mind isn't clear, so the words she says are probably unintentional. "
Qin Huaiyuan greeted Second Madam. He maintained a distance of three steps and said, "Younger Sister-in-law is right. Whatever mother says, we can't do. As her children, we can only listen. "
Second Madam understood the meaning behind his words. In any case, the decisions in the family weren't made by the old madam. Regardless of what the old madam thought, he could only close the door and abuse his power at home.
Second Madam said worriedly, "Sister Yi has already arrived at the Imperial Plantation with Wang Ye, right?"
"That's right." Qin Huaiyuan smiled at Second Madam and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Our family will be reunited very soon."
When they were chatting, Qin Huaiyuan actually said "Your Majesty is kind-hearted" every time he opened his mouth. Second Madam was alarmed and immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Your Majesty has always been kind to Wang Ye. "
At this moment, whether it was Qin Huaiyuan, Second Old Master, Third Old Master, Second Madam, or the Sun Clan, they all understood in their hearts.
Your Majesty's eyes and ears were probably watching the entire in-law family. Their every move would be heard by Your Majesty.
If they were already like this at home, then what about Pang Xiao's family, who had just returned to the capital?
They didn't know what kind of inescapable net had been set up in the Imperial Plantation. It was likely that Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were also being closely monitored and had no freedom to speak of.
It would be fine if they were being monitored, but the most important thing was that none of them knew what Your Majesty was planning to do next.
The entire Family seemed to be going on as usual. They were just going through their days in a noisy manner.
Qin Huaiyuan, on the other hand, didn't sleep well the entire night. At this juncture, he didn't dare to inform the in-law's family. He could only hope that the in-law's family was smart and wouldn't suddenly appear and be captured by Your Majesty to be used as a hostage to threaten Pang Xiao.
When it was time for court the next day, Qin Huaiyuan and Second Old Master left early and headed straight for the palace.
Just as their official sedan arrived in front of the palace gates, they were blocked by a line of Jingji Guards.
"Sirs, please wait for a moment. Prince Zhongshun and Princess Consort's carriage has arrived. Please wait for a moment before entering. "
Qin Huaiyuan, who was sitting upright and resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately lifted the curtain of the sedan and stood out.
He passed through the crowd in front of him.
Qin Huaiyuan saw Pang Xiao's carriage slowly stop not far away.
Pang Xiao nimbly dismounted from his horse and then walked to the side of the magnificent carriage that followed closely behind. He personally lifted the beautiful warm curtain and carefully helped Qin Yining, who was dressed to the nines, out of the carriage.
