As soon as Qin Yining's sedan stopped, the maidservant at the door rushed inside to pass the message. Another pretty maidservant around 12 or 13 years old came forward to greet them, "Wang Ye, Your Highness, you're back! Old Madam just asked someone to come out and ask. "
"Yes." Pang Xiao smiled and entered the courtyard with Qin Yining's hand.
Qin Yining asked with a smile, "Have Old Madam, Old Master, and Old Madam had dinner? How's the kitchen in the new house? "
The maidservant said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The cooks have brought the food boxes here on time. Old Master, Old Madam, and Old Madam have all had dinner."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile. Seeing that the little girl's words were clear and clear, and she was not timid at such a young age and also knew the rules, he praised her with a smile.
"What's your name?"
"Your Highness, my name is Xiaotong. I just came to the mansion to work."
While they were talking, there was a noise in front of the main room, and Mrs. Ma walked out quickly like a gust of wind.
Yao Chenggu and the Yao Clan walked behind her and looked at Pang Xiao eagerly.
Since Pang Xiao returned safely, the family had not had a chance to reunite, especially after such a big commotion in the capital today. Even the Tiger Army stationed outside the city was alarmed, and half of the capital could hear the deafening battle cries in the direction of the palace. Their family escaped from the tunnel. Although there were many guards around the residence and Qin Huaiyuan was at home, they still felt uneasy. What's more, many people who saw the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood in front of the palace said in private that the mansion had been burned to ruins.
No one in the family could feel at ease.
When Li Qitian issued an edict to summon Qin Huaiyuan to the court to discuss politics, they heard some news from the eunuch who delivered the edict and were completely relieved.
Mrs. Ma looked at the pair of children with relief and went forward to help Qin Yining. "Little Yi, are you tired? How do you feel? "
"Grandma, don't worry. I'm fine."
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Ma helped Qin Yining into the house.
Yao shi smirked. She let out a sigh of relief that her son was safe. But when he saw Qin Yining, he still didn't like it.
Yao Chenggu patted Pang Xiao's shoulder in relief. The whole family entered the house. Pang Xiao and Qin Yining bowed to the elders again and sat down according to their status.
Madam Ma was still concerned about Qin Yining's health. She held her hand and asked her carefully in a low voice. After confirming that she was fine, she was relieved.
Although Yao Clan was displeased, after this incident, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Your Majesty's attitude towards Qin Yining was very different. He obviously regarded her as a useful talent like Pang Xiao. Moreover, Pang Xiao was so attentive to Qin Yining.
Yao Clan suppressed their displeasure and didn't dare to show any emotions in front of them. They only said with concern, "This time, our family has been through a lot. Sister Yi's health needs to be checked by a good doctor. Now that Dai Fu is safe, we should start preparing for the happy occasion at home. "
Hearing Yao Clan's words, Mrs. Ma nodded with relief and said, "That's right. Grandma will make arrangements for you again later. "
Qin Yining shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Grandma, there's no hurry. This time, I'm going out with Wang Ye. I'm afraid the delivery room at home won't be used. "
"What?"
"Dai Fu is going out again?" Yao Clan's voice was a bit shrill.
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Your Majesty appointed me as the Grand Marshal. In a few days, I'm going to the south to take up the post. Your Majesty sympathizes with Sister Yi and I after we got married. He also sympathizes that our child will be born soon. Therefore, he specially ordered Sister Yi to go with me. "
Mrs. Ma widened her eyes and asked anxiously, "Then what about us? Does Your Majesty have any orders? "
Pang Xiao said, "Your Majesty means that only Sister Yi and the servants are allowed to go with me to take up the post."
"Then won't we all have to stay in the capital as hostages?"
"Be careful with your words!"
Yao Clan screamed and was stopped by Yao Chenggu in time.
Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "How can that be? Sister Yi is having her first child. She's still young and doesn't have much experience. If you go to the south to take up the post, won't you let Sister Yi give birth halfway? If you don't allow us elders to go with you, won't Sister Yi have no one to help her? "
Whether it was the Yao Clan, Yao Chenggu, or Mrs. Ma, their mood fell to the bottom at this time.
Especially the Yao Clan.
Pang Xiao was fighting outside, while she was nervously listening to the news at home. She had been living like this for too long. She was always on tenterhooks, and in the end, she was almost numb to it. Later, when Pang Xiao went out, her family of three was put under house arrest by Li Qitian for various reasons more than once or twice.
The feeling of waiting for the boulder hanging above her head to fall was even more torturous than waiting for Pang Xiao's letter to tell her that she was safe.
This time, Pang Xiao was going to take up the post in the south, but he was only allowed to bring Qin Yining with him. Wouldn't the people at home all be hostages? At the critical moment, Li Qitian could casually grab one of them and change Pang Xiao's decision?
Yao Clan couldn't help but tremble when they thought of that future.
Seeing everyone's gloomy appearance, Qin Yining smiled and comforted them, "Actually, the situation isn't that bad. With the current situation in the imperial court, our family will be put in an important position. So as long as Wang Ye takes care of the matters in the south, Your Majesty won't do anything to our family. As for the birth, I will bring a trustworthy midwife and doctor with me. "
Qin Yining held Mrs. Ma's hand and comforted her, "Grandmother, don't worry. Although I don't have any experience, Your Majesty didn't say that I can't bring servants with me. As long as we are well prepared, nothing will go wrong. "
"Sigh!" Mrs. Ma sighed, "What the hell is this!"
When a woman gave birth, it was like walking through the gates of hell. No one could say for sure what would happen during the birth. Even those who were well prepared at home could have all kinds of accidents, let alone Qin Yining, who was eight months pregnant and still had to follow Pang Xiao to take up the post.
But they didn't have the right to refuse Your Majesty's orders. No matter what, they could only pinch their noses and nod their heads.
Qin Yining saw that Mrs. Ma was really worried, so he couldn't help but hold Mrs. Ma's hand and comfort her.
Yao Clan's expression became more and more nervous and frightened.
"Dai Fu, what's going on with the imperial court? Why do I feel that things aren't good? "
"What are you saying!" Mrs. Ma reprimanded. "What do you mean by not good? Dai Fu is going to take up the post. Can't you say something good?"
Mrs. Ma's reprimand didn't have any effect on Yao Clan this time.
"Mother, what time is it now? Aren't you worried? Why did Your Majesty only allow Dai Fu and Qin Clan to go out? " In her nervousness, Yao Clan's eyes widened when she saw Qin Yining's calm face. She said in realization, "No wonder you're not worried at all! So that's what happened! Do you wish for such a thing to happen so that you can give birth without our eyes? "
Qin Yining was originally in a good mood to comfort Mrs. Ma, but when he heard Yao Clan's words, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
If she wanted to argue, she had many ways to stop Yao Clan. But she was a daughter-in-law after all, and Pang Xiao was sitting right next to her.
Pang Xiao's face had already darkened. She got up and helped Qin Yining up. She only said to Mrs. Ma and Yao Chenggu, "Grandma, we'll go back and rest first."
Mrs. Ma nodded and glared sternly at Yao Clan, who was still furious. Then, she smiled at Qin Yining comfortingly and apologetically. "Little Yi, your mother-in-law is a silly person who thinks she's smart. Don't think too much. I'll go see you tomorrow. "What she meant was that Qin Yining didn't have to come here to greet her.
Qin Yining nodded and said goodbye to the elders. Then, he walked out of the courtyard with Pang Xiao.
Mrs. Ma suddenly turned around and glared at Yao Clan. She pointed at her and gritted her teeth after a while. "You just can't change your ways! From today onwards, go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes with needlework! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter! "
"Mother!" Yao Clan felt that Mrs. Ma had really been bought over by Qin Yining. She couldn't think straight anymore.
"What kind of situation is this? You're still arguing with your daughter about this! We're going to stay as hostages, but why can Qin Yining hide out with us?
"Look at her again. How carefree is she? The prince's mansion was burned to the ground, and Dai Fu has to go to the south to take up an official post. She's not worried at all! Not to mention anything else, I don't see her worrying about giving birth. It must be because her child is almost full term! Dai Fu is a fool. Even at this time, he's still helping Qin Yining cover up. "
Mrs. Ma's fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. She suppressed her anger and listened to what the Yao Clan thought. Then, she looked at Yao Chenggu with a sneer.
Yao Chenggu once again took out his brass smoking pipe and wanted to fill it with cigarettes for himself.
Listen to what the Yao Clan said. As a father, Yao Chenggu didn't care at all!
What could this mean? It could only mean that Yao Chenggu also thought so!
Mrs. Ma shook her head and pointed to the side room in the courtyard. "Stop talking nonsense. Get out of here."
The Yao Clan looked at Yao Chenggu. "Father, what did your daughter say wrong?"
Yao Chenggu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "You can go out. Father will discuss this with your mother. "
Yao Chenggu's attitude made the Yao Clan nod and leave, although they felt wronged. Meanwhile, Ms. Ma was completely disappointed.
She didn't expect that she would only see what kind of people her husband and daughter were after living to this age. She actually didn't see it clearly in her entire life!
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao didn't go to pay respects to Old Matriarch Qin and directly returned to their own courtyard.
Pang Xiao saw that Qin Yining didn't say anything and felt distressed and guilty. "Sister Yi, don't be angry. I'll talk to Old Madam later. "
"It's okay. We're about to set off. Let's focus on preparing for the journey. Everything else doesn't matter. But you should go and see Grandmother later. I'm afraid that Grandmother's anger will affect her health. Besides, after we leave, Grandmother still has to live in front of Old Master and Old Madam. It's not good for them to make things too awkward. "
When Pang Xiao heard this, her heart ached. She squatted down in front of Qin Yining, held her hands, and kissed them. "Sister Yi, you're always so sensible, but you've suffered so much because you're sensible."
"These are all small matters. We don't need to waste our energy on these." Qin Yining had thought it through. Why did she have to curry favor with someone who didn't like her in the first place?
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Sister Yi, I know that you've been wronged. Don't worry. " Pang Xiao kissed her hand again. She got up and instructed Bing Tang and Ji Yun to wait on Qin Yining to rest first. Then, she turned back.
Qin Yining didn't know what Pang Xiao said. She didn't send anyone to keep an eye on them.
She just had a good night's sleep. When she saw them the next day, the Yao Clan had a pair of swollen rabbit eyes. When they saw her, they actually seemed to want to curry favor with her. Qin Yining was really amazed.
