At this moment, Qin Huining felt an unprecedented fear.
She was no longer facing the Old Madam or the Sun Clan, who could make her cry and throw a tantrum. Instead, she was facing Qin Huaiyuan, who exuded a dignified aura.
Qin Huaiyuan had been immersed in the imperial court for many years. Even the ministers outside were afraid of his methods, let alone Qin Huining, who was only a 14-year-old girl.
Qin Huining felt Qin Huaiyuan's sharp eyes sweep over her body. She felt as if she had been cut open by a knife. Even the curves of her intestines could be seen clearly. There was no place for her to hide any lies.
She definitely didn't have the guts to lie in front of Qin Huaiyuan.
However, if she told the truth, her position in the hearts of the elders would be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Qin Huining gritted her teeth and choked out: "Father, please calm down. I know this is my fault. Originally, Sister Yi and I didn't get along well. My wet nurse gave me an idea and said that I could use this opportunity to suppress Sister Yi's spirit. I didn't think too much about it and handed the matter over to my wet nurse to arrange. I didn't expect that she would frame Sister Yi's servant, Ruilan, for theft. "
At this point, Qin Huining raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Qin Huaiyuan. She saw that his expression was calm and he was still standing in the same posture as before. He was like an old monk in meditation. She didn't know if Qin Huaiyuan had heard what she said, but she became more and more nervous.
"I, I originally wanted to say it, but my wet nurse also wanted to help me vent my anger. I thought that Ruilan would just be beaten up and driven out, so I didn't care. I just didn't expect things to develop to this point. "
Qin Huining began to sob again. She couldn't help but wipe her tears with her sleeves. She raised her head and secretly glanced at Qin Huaiyuan.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyuan also looked down at this moment. When their eyes met, Qin Huining was so frightened that her heart beat wildly. She almost fell to the ground.
"You didn't expect it?"
"I really didn't expect it. I was …"
"Shut up, you don't have to say anymore."
Qin Huaiyuan's voice was indifferent, he turned his head around and ordered Qitai, who was standing outside, "You go and tell the people inside. First, drag the wet nurse of the Huining Girl out of the door and beat her forty times with the plank, then send her home and never let her work again. Secondly, change the maidservants by Miss Huining's side to a new batch. Let old madam and First Madam put the maidservants who originally served Miss Huining somewhere else. There's only one point. These people are not allowed to serve any Miss closely. "
Qin Huining stared blankly at Qin Huaiyuan. Suddenly, he burst into tears and tried to hug Qin Huaiyuan's leg.
"Father, you can't do this! Mama Cai and the people around me are innocent. Besides, if you punish them, how can I raise my head in the future? Who else would dare to stay by his daughter's side? Although I'm not your biological daughter, I've been raised by your side for many years. Don't tell me you don't care about my life or death at all! "
Qin Huaiyuan flicked his sleeve and waved Qin Huining away. He frowned and continued, "Thirdly, Miss Huining made a mistake this time because of the instigation of the wicked servants by her side. Let everyone watch their mouths and not talk about her behind her back. Fourthly, it's not appropriate for Miss Huining to stay in old madam's courtyard. It's easy to anger the elderly. Move Miss Huining out of Ci Xiao Garden's warm room to Snow Pear Courtyard. Go to Snow Pear Courtyard and help Fourth Miss move. Clean up the Shuoren Courtyard for Fourth Miss to live in. It's also convenient for her to frequently visit old madam's courtyard. "
When Qin Huining heard Qin Huaiyuan order everyone not to talk about it, she let out a sigh of relief. However, when she heard the following words, she immediately fell to the cold floor of the woodshed with a pale face.
The Shuoren Courtyard was a small building where Qin Huaiyuan lived alone when he was young. Originally, it was called the Qingxin Courtyard.
Qin Huaiyuan's appearance was outstanding. At that time, the Old Great Grandfather was still alive. One day, when he was strolling through the garden, he passed by the Qingxin Courtyard. He pointed at the horizontal board and said, "What Qingxin Courtyard? It's not a temple for monks. My eldest grandson is so handsome. In the future, he'll have to marry at least one wife and take ten beautiful concubines!" He then pulled Qin Huaiyuan over and asked, "Come, come, come. Meng Ge 'er, recite a poem that describes beautiful women for grandfather."
At that time, Qin Huaiyuan was still young. He was teased until his face and neck turned red. He recited a line from the Book of Songs that described the noble beauty of Jiang Nü Zhuang.
"The Shuoren Courtyard is full of vigor. His clothes are embroidered and embroidered … His hands are soft and supple, his skin is creamy, his collar is like a bamboo, and his teeth are like a gourd …"
The Old Great Grandfather then said, "This poem is talking about my eldest grandson! In the future, this Qingxin Courtyard will be called the Shuoren Courtyard. "
Who wouldn't listen to the Old Great Grandfather's words?
At that time, the Family Family wasn't as wealthy as it was now. The residence wasn't as big as it was now. They expanded it once and built a back garden, but the Shuoren Courtyard was still preserved.
Later, the Old Great Grandfather passed away. Whenever Qin Huaiyuan missed his grandfather, he would often go to the Shuoren Courtyard for a visit.
When Qin Huaiyuan was young, he liked the scenery here. He had asked his father for it twice, but his father refused to give it to him.
At that time, his grandmother comforted him, saying that the Shuoren Courtyard would be for the legitimate son to live in. She was a girl and couldn't live there. Qin Huaiyuan gradually gave up on the idea.
He didn't expect that his father would now give the Shuoren Courtyard to Qin Yining!
Wasn't Qin Yining also a girl? Why was Qin Yining allowed to live there, but she couldn't?!
However, no matter how unwilling he was, Qin Huaiyuan didn't have time to be jealous.
She immediately thought of her own worrisome situation.
She moved from Ci Xiao Garden to Snow Pear Courtyard, and all the people who used to serve her were driven away. It was like she was in the dark. How was she going to live in the future?
"Father, please have mercy. You can't treat me like this. Your daughter still has to live in the future. If you do this, how can I have the face to live? Why don't you reward me with a rope and let me hang myself!" Qin Huaiyuan once again hugged Qin Huaiyuan's leg.
Qin Huaiyuan took two steps back, frowning and shaking his head.
A girl who was raised by the Sun Clan and the Old Madam's side was pampered and spoiled since she was young. However, she only had a few small schemes in her mind and didn't see the big picture at all. When she encountered problems, she would only cry and make a fuss. She didn't have the demeanor of a general at all. It was enough to show the importance of his blood.
In the end, it was his own daughter who had inherited his bloodline.
Although Qin Huaiyuan had a father-daughter relationship with Qin Huaiyuan, he was still dissatisfied that his own daughter was framed and bullied.
As for why he and the Crown Prince would coincidentally hear Bitong's words from behind the rockery, Qin Huaiyuan didn't need to think to know that this was arranged by that little girl.
Qin Huaiyuan was being schemed against by his own daughter. He only felt angry and amused at the same time.
However, he needed to educate his daughter, but he needed to punish people with impure thoughts first.
"Sister Hui." Qin Huaiyuan's voice was normal, and he didn't even raise his pitch. He said flatly and straightforwardly, "As my daughter, you should know clearly what you should and shouldn't do. You don't need to threaten me with things like hanging myself. I'm not the Old Madam. "
Qin Huaiyuan was so scared that she couldn't even cry.
Her father actually knew about this matter! She always thought that her father wouldn't get involved in matters of the inner residence!
"A fool is bound to be a fool. You said that the people around you did bad things and made you take the blame. Fine, I believe you and dealt with the people around you. The next time you commit a crime, it won't be the people around you who instigated it, right? If you don't have the ability to restrain your servants, then I'll have to reconsider your future. You're on your own now. "
Qin Huaiyuan calmly threw down a heavy hammer, turned around, and left.
Qin Huaiyuan sat there blankly for a long time, unable to regain her senses.
Every word Qin Huaiyuan said was like a slap to her face. Although her face wasn't hit, it was still burning and swollen to a purple eggplant skin.
However, her unwillingness and resentment were even stronger than before.
She indeed wasn't his biological daughter, but he couldn't treat her like this! After doting on her for so many years, he suddenly told her that she wasn't his legitimate daughter and took away everything she had to give to Qin Yining. How innocent was she?!
**
Although Qin Huaiyuan had instructed Qi Tai, there were some things that he still needed to say to the Old Madam personally. Therefore, he left the woodshed and directly went to the Old Madam's place.
The Old Madam was so angry that her vision turned black and she almost couldn't breathe. Now, she had already recovered and was leaning on a big soft pillow to eat ginseng soup.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan had come, the Old Madam couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face: "Have you finished your work outside?"
"It's already finished. Mother, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
"Ai!" The Old Madam sighed and told him about the Sun Clan's clamoring with her just now.
Qin Huaiyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Mother, don't be angry. You know the Sun Clan's temper. Son will talk to her later."
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan was so busy every day and still had to worry about this kind of thing, the Old Madam became more and more displeased with the Sun Clan. However, for the sake of her son, it wasn't good to continue to harp on the Sun Clan.
Qin Huaiyuan also told the Old Madam about his decision just now.
When the Old Madam heard that Qin Huining was going to move to Snow Pear Courtyard, the Old Madam frowned: "The people around her are not good. Just punish them. Snow Pear Courtyard is so remote. Let her move out from my place and just let her go back to Xingning Garden. Why do you want her to go to such a remote place?"
"Mother, if she stays in Xingning Garden, the Sun Clan will be more likely to cause trouble. Moreover, Snow Pear Courtyard is remote. If Sister Yi can live there, why can't Sister Hui? "
The Old Madam was speechless by Qin Huaiyuan's words. She said embarrassedly: "At that time, I was just suspicious of Sister Yi's bloodline. In a fit of anger, I casually said that. Am I a bad grandmother who mistreats her granddaughter?" Then she said: "Then why are you finally willing to give the Shuoren Courtyard to someone?"
Qin Huaiyuan wouldn't hold on to his mother's fault. He said with a smile: "It's idle anyway. Sister Yi is already 14 years old. At most, she will be married in a few years. If she has a legitimate son in the future, it's not a bad thing to move in."
When it came to Qin Yining's marriage, the Old Madam remembered the look in the Crown Prince's eyes when he looked at Qin Yining today. "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have feelings for Sister Yi …"
Qin Huaiyuan smiled mysteriously, "Mother, now that I am the Crown Prince's tutor, my status is naturally different from before. If my daughter wants to get married, I'm afraid it's not just our family that can make the decision. In the future, we just need to wait and see."
The Old Madam understood as soon as she heard this. She said with a smile: "If the Emperor is willing to make the decision, then it's our Family Qin's honor. It's also good for Sister Yi to go to the Shuoren Courtyard. Not to mention that it's close to me, the Shuoren Courtyard is where you used to live and study. It's also good for her to be influenced by books. "
"That's exactly what I mean." Qin Huaiyuan nodded with a smile.
"Replying to the Old Madam and First Master, First Madam and Fourth Miss have prepared black chicken soup to nourish the Old Madam's body." Ji Xiang came in and answered with a smile.
