The Sun Clan took the initiative to bring a bowl of black-bone chicken soup to express their goodwill. This was completely out of Old Madam's expectations.
Mammy Qin had just quietly told Old Madam that the Sun Clan went to the warm room to see Mama Cai. After coming out, they angrily pulled Qin Yining away. It was obvious that they wanted to vent their anger on Qin Yining.
Old Madam was already waiting to hear what kind of ruckus Sun had caused.
Who would have thought that after such a short while, both mother and daughter were actually smiling, as if all the unpleasantness had never happened. Qin Yining also didn't look like he had been reprimanded at all. The Sun Clan even took the initiative to soften their stance and apologize.
Old Madam and Qin Huaiyuan both knew what kind of character the Sun Clan had, so they coincidentally smiled at Qin Yining approvingly.
"Old Madam, your daughter-in-law was impulsive just now. Everything is my fault. I love my daughter dearly, but I'm not unfilial to my mother-in-law. You know that I've always been like this. After being impulsive, I regret it. Your daughter-in-law apologizes to you here."
The Sun Clan's voice became hoarse as she spoke. These were already the softest words she could say.
Just now, Qin Yining and her analyzed that Qin Huaiyuan would definitely come. It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to show off. At first, she didn't want to admit defeat. However, in Qin Yining's mouth, admitting defeat was "retreating in order to advance." She thought it made sense. The relationship between her and Qin Huaiyuan indeed needed to be repaired. She couldn't make things worse. That was why she listened to Qin Yining's suggestion for the time being.
Regardless of what the Sun Clan thought, Qin Huaiyuan was satisfied that the Sun Clan could do this.
"Mother, don't be angry. If you're angry, what should I do? The Sun Clan is short-tempered and always speaks without meaning. She is still filial to you. "
The Sun Clan was willing to admit defeat, and her son also said good words. The two people gave old madam a way out. Old madam also felt that her face was not bad and didn't want to make things difficult for her son, so she said, "Get up. We're all one family. Don't be like this in the future."
The members of the Sun Clan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They hurriedly opened the black lacquered food box and took out the black chicken soup. They personally took a spoon and served it to old madam.
Actually, old madam had just eaten the ginseng soup. She didn't want to eat the black chicken soup yet. However, considering her son, she still ate half a bowl of soup from the Sun Clan.
Only then did the members of the Sun Clan feel completely relieved. They shyly glanced at Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Huaiyuan calmly nodded at the Sun Clan.
The Sun Clan members' faces began to turn red again, and their hearts began to jump with joy.
Seeing her parents like this, Qin Yining secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the family was harmonious, everything would prosper. It was inappropriate for her mother to be enemies with old madam and challenge her husband. She also spent a lot of effort to persuade them to reconcile. Fortunately, her words weren't in vain.
Old madam smiled and waved at Qin Yining, letting her come to her side. "Your father and I were just talking about your matter."
Qin Yining came forward and asked, "Did grandmother tell my father that I didn't study hard and made him angry?"
"You little girl." Old madam was amused by her and laughed. "You didn't study hard, so grandmother hit you first. Why wait until now to tell your father? Just now, it was your father who said that you should move to the Shuoren Study House. The Shuoren Study House is adjacent to the back garden. The scenery there is excellent. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are also many of your father's books. Your father lived in the Shuoren Study House when he was young. Now, perhaps you can read those books and get the smell of books and ink. What do you think? "
When Qin Yining went to the back garden, she had already noticed the elegant courtyard of the Shuoren Study House. She also inquired about its origin. At this time, she liked it very much.
She said with a happy expression, "Thank you, grandmother. Thank you, father! If I move to the Shuoren Study House, I can often come to grandmother's place to eat! "
Old madam laughed again when she heard this. She pointed at Qin Yining and called her, "Naughty monkey!"
Qin Yining said that she could often come to eat. Although it was a mischievous remark, it was telling old madam and Qin Huaiyuan that she understood her father's arrangement and wouldn't fail to live up to it.
Qin Huaiyuan saw that she understood with a hint and was satisfied. Thinking of today's matter, he said in a flat tone, "Sister Yi, did you arrange for the girl who spoke behind the rockery to come here?"
Old madam looked at Qin Yining inquiringly.
Sun Clan's daughter widened her eyes in surprise and shouted, "You really did harm to Sister Hui!"
Madam Sun's voice was too sharp, and it completely ruined the originally lively atmosphere. Qin Huaiyuan looked at her with displeasure when he heard her voice.
Qin Yining didn't want to care about the Sun Clan's attitude towards her. She just pretended that she didn't hear this and said to Qin Huaiyuan with a smile, "Yes, father.
This matter was indeed arranged by me. Miss Huining asked Bitong and Mama Cai to deceive Ruilan when I was reciting books in the ancestral hall and framed her for stealing grandmother's jade bracelet. Ruilan was beaten with a board for no reason. If she wasn't lucky, she might have been beaten to death on the spot. "
"I can understand Miss Huining's difficulties, but I can't forgive her for disregarding other people's lives just for a moment of pleasure. If she is dissatisfied with me, she can come at me, but she doesn't dare and can't hurt an innocent maidservant by my side. How pitiful is Ruilan?"
"As for Bitong and Xiao Ai, who were chased out, Bitong stole my jewelry, and Xiao Ai has always been a thief. The two of them deserve it. They can find a new business after going out, and they won't starve to death."
"So today, I just let the truth come out."
"Only?" Qin Huaiyuan chuckled and said, "You made a big fuss out of this' only '. You can tell me directly or your grandmother. Why did you bring this matter to the Crown Prince? Aren't you afraid of ruining your father's career? "
Qin Yining could hear Qin Huaiyuan's half-true and half-false complaints. She could also see the old madam's frown when Qin Huaiyuan talked about his career.
She wasn't nervous and continued, "I naturally thought of this, but father's career won't be affected. The Crown Prince has a gentle temperament and is obsessed with painting and calligraphy. Although he wants to work hard, he doesn't have the talent. What he lacks is exactly what father has. "
"Father is politically astute, his methods are shrewd and ruthless, and his judgment of the situation is extremely accurate. In the future, the Crown Prince will rely on father's power in many ways. Therefore, whether it is in terms of his nature or his consideration of the future, he will not care about these small matters of a girl's family. What's more, father taught the Crown Prince the first lesson by example. "
Qin Huaiyuan asked, "Which lesson?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "You taught the Crown Prince the meaning of benevolence."
Qin Huaiyuan heard this and laughed loudly.
It was clear that this little girl used the Crown Prince's presence to checkmate him. She knew that he was a teacher, so he naturally couldn't kill a servant in front of the Crown Prince. Thus, she saved Bitong and Xiao Ai's lives. At this moment, she was actually able to say these words with such eloquence.
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't restrain his laughter. He patted Qin Yining's shoulder and said, "Sister Yi's skill of flattering has reached perfection."
Seeing her son so happy, the old madam also laughed.
In recent years, it was rare for Qin Huaiyuan to laugh so heartily like this.
Moreover, after carefully pondering Qin Yining's words, the old madam was surprised to find that Qin Yining had already thought about all kinds of reactions when she did things. She was also very accurate in criticizing the current situation. She was indeed her precious eldest son's daughter!
The old madam hugged Qin Yining, tapped the tip of her nose, and said, "You naughty monkey. You obviously did bad things, but you can still say these things. This time, Sister Hui was wrong first. It's fine if you do this, but you're not allowed to do this in the future!"
"Grandmother's lesson is right. Granddaughter will remember it." Of course, she wouldn't use tricks to harm innocent people. However, when she was bullied, there was no reason for her to swallow her anger.
Qin Huaiyuan laughed and felt that the depression in his chest had dissipated. After understanding Qin Yining's ability, he also had new thoughts about her future arrangements.
He wouldn't marry a stupid girl to a place where people needed to cheat each other. Because, even if she had a high status, her life wouldn't be happy. If things went wrong, the girl might even lose her life. However, she was intelligent and good at judging the situation. She must be placed in an important position.
"Mother, you must be tired today. Rest early. Son and daughter-in-law will take our leave first. We'll come to see you tomorrow." Qin Huaiyuan stood up.
The Sun Clan still hadn't recovered from the shock just now. When they saw Qin Huaiyuan stand up and salute, they were stunned for a moment before they reacted and saluted as well.
When the old madam saw the Sun Clan's reaction, she knew that her son would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade them. She sighed and waved her hand, saying, "You two can go."
After Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan left, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Presumably, the people who are moving are almost done with their work. Granddaughter will also take her leave."
She was leaving some space for the old madam to rest.
The old madam nodded and let her go back to settle down.
Mammy Qin smiled and helped the old madam to lie down. She said, "Old madam, you don't have any more worries, right?"
The old madam lay on her back and looked at the Five Fortunes of Longevity on the mosquito net. She sighed and said, "In this family, there's always one good and one bad. Two people are always pulling each other. It's like this in the eldest branch, and it's also like this in the second branch and third branch. I'm old now. I really don't have the strength to care so much. "
Mammy Qin smiled and said, "How is the old madam old? This servant still wants to stay by your side and serve you for another fifty years. "
The old madam burst into laughter. "Fifty years? Won't the two of us become old demons? "After laughing, she said," Speaking of moving, how is Sister Hui doing? "
Mammy Qin thought for a moment and said strategically, "Miss Huining is fine. It's just that she's feeling unwell. She's probably crying in Snow Pear Courtyard right now. However, everything around her has been arranged properly. This servant asked Ge Family's servant to be the housekeeper. In addition, I've chosen Fugui and Caiyun, the two head maidservants by your side, to serve her first. Tomorrow, the maidservants will arrive. Then, I'll choose the best ones for Miss Huining. "
The old madam nodded and said, "Ge Family's servant is a dutiful person. I hope she can be well-behaved and persuade Sister Hui. I used to think that Sister Hui was very sensible. Why is it that now … Ai! "
Mammy Qin smiled and comforted the old madam, coaxing her to rest.
Meanwhile, Qin Yining had already brought the people around her to the Master's Study. She also specially invited Mama Zhan to stay with them.
