Yao Chenggu was like an old hen protecting its chicks. He opened his arms and shielded the Yao Clan behind him. His old hand held the newly repaired brass jade mouth tobacco pipe and pointed it at Mrs. Ma.
"Don't take advantage of your Kung Fu to get physical with us. This is your daughter. How can you side with an outsider? Your heart is always with another family!"
Ma shi's face was red with anger. Gritting her teeth, she pointed at Yao Chenggu. She wanted to scold him, but when she met Yao Chenggu and Yao shi's eyes, she swallowed her words.
"I'm too lazy to reason with a group of evil people like you. I'm speaking human language. Do you understand human language?"
Mrs. Ma turned around and took Pang Xiao's hand. "Dai Fu, let's go. Don't pay attention to them in the future. They are both evil and heartless. In the future, you have to be more careful about Yi Yi's clothes, food, housing, and transportation. Don't let them go to Si Qing Garden."
Pang Xiao saw that his grandmother was so angry. He was afraid that the anger would affect her health, so he nodded and comforted her. "Okay, grandma, let's go first."
Yao Chenggu loved his grandson, Pang Xiao, the most. Like the Yao Clan, he counted on Pang Xiao. Now that he saw that Pang Xiao didn't say a word for him, he was disappointed. Thinking of Mrs. Ma's various bully behaviors, he felt that he had suffered enough in his life. Every time something didn't make sense, Mrs. Ma would use violence to suppress it, making him lose his dignity.
Today, Pang Xiao came to the door. Mrs. Ma was originally his wife, but she stood on the side of outsiders. Yao Chenggu was furious. He pointed at Mrs. Ma and shouted, "If you dare to step out of this place, you will be removed from the Yao family's genealogy in the future! I don't have such an arrogant and domineering wife like you! "
Mrs. Ma turned around angrily and sneered. "If you have the guts, you should have divorced me long ago. I can live a more carefree life in this life! Now you're sick of her and want to divorce her? Fine, you can write the divorce papers now, then take your Yao Family's genealogy book and your precious daughter back to the Yao Family's territory! I'll stay here with my grandson! "
"You!" Yao Chenggu was so angry that he fell backwards.
"Write if you have the guts. If you don't, then you're not a man! I'm waiting for you to send the letter of divorce! "Mrs. Ma pulled Pang Xiao's hand and walked out without looking back.
Yao Chenggu stood in the yard and stared at the backs of Mrs. Ma and Pang Xiao as they left.
After Pang Xiao's people left, the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu finally felt the silence in the courtyard.
Only the two of them were left in the Pine Crane Hall.
Yao Chenggu put his hands on his waist and breathed heavily. He kept muttering, "Outrageous, outrageous."
Then he looked at the crying Yao Clan and said angrily, "Look at what you've done!"
Yao Clan felt even more wronged when he heard this. He sobbed and cried, "It was father who told me to get rid of the Qin Clan's child. Why are you blaming me?"
"I told you to do it, but who told you to go with a bowl of medicine? Can't you use your brain? Why don't you just go and kill him with a knife?! What did you do? It was obvious that you did it. Now you can't even deny it. What else can you do? "
Yao Clan was punched by Mrs. Ma. His back still hurt. After being reprimanded by Yao Chenggu, he felt even more wronged. He wanted to quarrel with Yao Chenggu, but he felt his chest tighten. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Pang Xiao was standing in front of the study in the outer courtyard. He heard people talking back and forth, "Old Madame fainted." He said helplessly and anxiously, "Then go and get a doctor. Choose a few sensible old people to serve Old Master and Old Madame in the Pine Crane Hall. Their standard of living will be the same, but their movements must be reported to me. "
Huzi heard this and immediately went to tell the steward of the Prince's Mansion to make arrangements.
Pang Xiao went into the study and talked with the six generals of the Tiger Army.

Qin Yining didn't know what happened at the Pine Crane Hall. Under Pang Xiao's orders, no one dared to disturb a pregnant woman in front of Qin Yining. Mrs. Ma returned to Si Qing Garden and ordered people to make black chicken soup for Qin Yining as usual.
When Pang Xiao returned to the courtyard in the evening, the atmosphere was harmonious.
Qin Yining asked about the six people.
Pang Xiao hugged her and lay on the soft couch. He sat behind her and acted as her pillow. His deep voice came from behind her ear. His warm breath blew on her ear and neck.
"The six of them are now innocent. They remember the friendship we had when we fought side by side in the past. I investigated and found that they are indeed trustworthy. So I arranged for two of them to go to the northern border. As for the other four, I want to arrange for them to go to the south. "
Qin Yining tilted her head. Ever since her belly became big, she would feel stuffy after lying down. Pang Xiao hugged her from the most comfortable angle. The human-shaped pillow behind her was too comfortable. His voice was too gentle. Qin Yining felt a little drowsy and her voice became coy.
"Go to the south? Where? Nanyan? "
Pang Xiao held one of her hands and played with it. He said, "I remember that you had a lot of good farmland and land around the old capital of Dayan."
Qin Yining responded lazily. Her thoughts turned and she immediately woke up. She said in surprise, "You want to arrange for them to go to the south to recruit soldiers and buy horses?"
Pang Xiao looked down at Qin Yining in his arms. He kissed her on the cheek in surprise and praise.
"So smart. Why do you want to recruit soldiers and buy horses when I mention the good farmland and land in the south? "
Qin Yining chuckled. "I'm the person who sleeps beside you. How can I not know your personality?"
Qin Yining's drowsiness was swept away. She narrowed her eyes and thought carefully. She nodded and said, "I think this method is feasible. Although we are loyal to Your Majesty, we can't completely not consider a way out. Your Majesty doesn't trust you now. We don't know when something big will happen. It's right to prepare for both sides. "
She thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen Master Zhong in public for a long time in order to hide it from others. When I return, I will give you the accounts of Master Zhong. You can use the money under my name. You can negotiate with Master Zhong directly. Just be careful not to let Your Majesty's people know. "
Pang Xiao was truly moved by Qin Yining's unreserved trust.
Qin Yining's land and farmland were all obtained by her when she was doing good deeds for the people. Under her management, it had snowballed and became an existence that couldn't be ignored. It could be said that Qin Yining's wealth was equivalent to half of the wealth of Da Zhou's aristocratic families combined. Not to mention Da Zhou's national treasury, which was cleaner than their faces.
She had such a large amount of wealth, but she had always hidden it. Only when he needed disaster relief, she would use the dowry as an excuse to donate money to help the people do practical things.
Now, she had given him her biggest trump card without holding anything back.
Pang Xiao was moved. He kissed her on the cheek again and pulled her into his arms. He rested his chin on her forehead. "Sister Yi, don't worry. I won't use your money to do evil. In the future, if I need to use any money, I will contact Master Zhong first and tell you first. "
Qin Yining laughed when he heard this. "I know you're not that kind of person. Although you were known as the God of Evil in the early years, and there were people who exaggerated your 'evil appearance', saying that you were like a man-eating devil, but I know that you have a heart that loves the people as your own children. You won't disregard the lives of ordinary people for your own benefit. That's why I gave you this money. I know that you will use it for the right things and not for evil. I believe that everything you've done is for the sake of the common people. "
Pang Xiao was in a high position. Whether it was in front of outsiders or in front of his aides, he had received too many praises. However, no one's praise could compare to Qin Yining's words.
She understood him, trusted him, and supported him. This made Pang Xiao feel that everything he did was meaningful and worth it. Even if the people in the world didn't understand him and thought that he was a fiend, at least Qin Yining would understand him.
Pang Xiao closed his eyes and patted Qin Yining's back with his large hand. He resisted the sudden sourness in his eyes and said in a dry and hoarse voice, "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Qin Yining chuckled and said, "Same to you."
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the big and small things in life didn't seem to be important to Qin Yining.
No matter what Pang Xiao's mother and grandfather thought or did, at least her man trusted her wholeheartedly and protected her. Why should she care about people who didn't matter to her? Why should she rush to get close to people who didn't like her?
All these didn't matter. As long as her family was safe and sound, that was the greatest blessing.
Qin Yining's mentality was very calm. Therefore, the red flower incident this time didn't hurt her body. On the contrary, Ma Shi treated Qin Yining more attentively and considerately. Qin Yining felt flattered and treated Ma Shi more wholeheartedly.
Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan saw how well Ma Shi treated Qin Yining and were happy in their hearts.
When their daughter was in front of them, she didn't have a good life. But when she was in Pang Xiao's family, she was treated like a treasure and protected. Although the Sun Clan felt sour in their hearts, they felt more regret and gratification.
The hot days of July gradually passed. In August, the heat in the capital reached a new height.
Qin Yining's belly was six months pregnant, but because she was pregnant with twins, her belly was about the same as an ordinary seven-month pregnant belly.
Qin Yining held the hands of the Sun Clan and Ma Shi and walked under the shade of the trees in Si Qing Garden. She was so hot that her temples and neck were covered in sweat.
The Sun Clan said worriedly, "It's so tiring to be pregnant on such a hot day. It's a pity that there aren't any good places around the capital for you to avoid the heat. "
Madam Ma also said, "I think Sister Yi's belly is much bigger than a normal six-month-pregnant woman's belly. We usually have Bingtang take care of her. Should we find an imperial physician who is good at taking care of her?"
At this point, Ma Shi suddenly realized that her words might cause Qin Yining to misunderstand because the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu's deeds were still vivid in her mind. She hurriedly said, "Yi lass, don't think too much. I'm just afraid that you have some symptoms."
