When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but look back at Qiu Feishan.
He didn't expect this girl to be so generous as to contribute to the country.
There was a faint smile on Qiu Feishan's face. Her temperament was as gentle as a piece of good ancient jade. People couldn't help but want to get close to her, but they were worried that the ancient jade would be unbearable.
Qin Yining didn't believe that such a woman with a unique temperament and a natural noble aura would be an ordinary merchant's daughter. If she was just a merchant's daughter, why would Magistrate Yang go through so much trouble to help them meet?
Pang Xiao carefully tied the ribbon on Qin Yining's collar. Seeing that Qin Yining was still looking at Qiu Feishan, who was wearing men's clothing, she frowned unhappily. She turned her little face back to her and tied the ribbon into a bow. She casually replied, "This King still needs to train the will of those children. But thank you for your kindness."
After that, Pang Xiao took Qin Yining's hand warmer from Bing Tang. After testing the temperature, she put it in Qin Yining's hand and then said goodbye to Magistrate Yang.
Magistrate Yang said with a smile, "Wang Ye, Princess, take care."
"Magistrate Yang, please stay."
After the two sides were polite, Pang Xiao took Qin Yining and walked out of the Yang Mansion side by side.
Qiu Feishan stood there with a smile. She watched the two people walk away with a peaceful expression.
Magistrate Yang frowned and said unhappily, "This Prince Zhongshun doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. That day, I still thought that he was a smart and sensible person. Now, it seems that he is just an arrogant and conceited person. "
Qiu Feishan smiled and shook her head. She turned and walked to the warm room with a straight back.
Magistrate Yang immediately chased after her and respectfully followed behind Qiu Feishan.
"Uncle Yang, don't mind. There is no need to be angry. I am very satisfied to see such a Prince Zhongshun. "
"Satisfied? He doesn't know how to appreciate favors and turns a blind eye to you … "
Qiu Fei Shan waved her hand, her white fingertips gently tapping her cuffs, her eyes drooping as she said, "If he can be moved by such trivial benefits, then …"
Before she could finish her words, Magistrate Yang immediately understood. He coughed awkwardly and said, "That's true. Those who fawn on me make me unable to care for them."
Qiu Fei Shan didn't say much, she just smiled calmly.

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining returned to the mansion by car. They discussed what they had just seen and heard in low voices.
"That Lady Qiu is not simple. He was definitely not a simple businessman. She took the initiative to think of ways to make friends with us, and even invited Magistrate Yang to be her middleman, which is enough to show that she
My status has changed. "
Pang Xiao said, "It doesn't matter whether it's simple or not. Whatever she wants to do has nothing to do with us."
"You're quite carefree." Qin Yining chuckled, "Why do I see that you are a little unhappy? Are you sulking with me?"
"No way." Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and buried his face in his shoulder, "I just don't like you staring at others. You have been staring at Lady Qiu since you saw her today. "
Qin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Everyone loves beauty. Lady Qiu is a beauty. Naturally, I can't help but look at her a few more times. Besides, we are all women. Are you jealous? "
Pang Xiao wouldn't admit that he was jealous. He said seriously, "Who knows what she has in mind. You should be more careful."
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing at Pang Xiao's awkward appearance.
Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining nestled in his arms like a cute kitten and laughed so happily. Thinking back to what he said just now, he couldn't blame Qin Yining for laughing. Only now did he feel a little embarrassed.
The next day, after the family had breakfast, Madam Zheng put down the teacup and said, "My health is much better now. I've also reunited with you and fulfilled my wish. Now, Sister Yi, you have a husband who dotes on you and a cute child. Although there will still be many difficulties in the future, as long as the two of you work together, there's nothing that can't be solved. I can also rest assured and retire in peace. "
Hearing Madam Zheng's words, Qin Yining frowned and said, "Grandmother, what are your plans for the future?"
Madam Zheng smiled kindly. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, but there was also some relief, "I'm already so old. Even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength. The world now belongs to you young people. I also plan to go back and be an old woman who eats white rice. That's all. "
That day, Madam Zheng had said that she would give her all the connections under her. She was sure that her grandmother had made up her mind not to come out of retirement this time.
Qin Yining didn't want to stop her because Madam Zheng was able to put down her hatred and retreat at the right time. She could use the remaining time of her life to enjoy life and be a happy old madam at home. This was actually the best choice for Madam Zheng.
However, hearing that Madam Zheng really made this decision, Qin Yining felt a little disappointed.
"Silly girl. What are you thinking? In the future, you just have to focus on living your life with Wang Ye and teach Brother Han and Brother Zhao to grow up. This will be the best life. I know you're a smart child, and I believe you can do it. "
Qin Yining felt a little sad, but she still adjusted her emotions and said with a smile, "Grandmother's decision is right. In the future, when we're free, we'll bring Brother Han and Brother Zhao to visit you, Aunt, and Cousin-in-law. "
"Good. Good. "Madam Zheng smiled and then turned to Pang Xiao." You have to take what I said to you before to heart. In the future, your life will depend on you. "
Pang Xiao said respectfully, "Yes, I'll remember it. I will also be filial to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Grandmother, you don't have to worry."
"I know you're a filial child." Madam Zheng smiled with relief.
That day, Madam Zheng brought Qin Yining to see Madam Ma, the shopkeeper of Madam Zheng's Textile Shop. She handed everything over to Qin Yining.
When the two left, it was already afternoon. The winter afternoon sun wasn't very warm and seemed a little pale. The two of them didn't take a carriage. Instead, they walked on the quiet street in the thin layer of snow.
Madam Zheng said, "Remember what I said. These people are double-edged swords. When you control them, you have to plan properly. They're not the same as the people from the Qingtian Alliance. You have to be careful. "
"I understand. I'll know my limits. I'll also lend a hand when they need it. There's an entry and an exit. This kind of relationship will last."
Madam Zheng smiled with relief and said, "It seems you understand what I mean. Wang Ye has already prepared the carriage for me. I plan to leave tomorrow. "
Qin Yining was stunned. He said with surprise and reluctance, "Grandmother, why are you in such a hurry to go back? It's not good to stay for a while longer. It'll be better to go back after the snow melts. "
"We can't wait. After the snow melts, there might be rainy days. Besides, the journey isn't very far. Wang Ye will make careful arrangements. You don't have to worry about your safety on the journey."
Qin Yining persuaded Madam Zheng for a long time, but Madam Zheng was unmoved and insisted on going back. Qin Yining could only give up.
Pang Xiao arranged for Jinghu Wei to escort Madam Zheng.
Qin Yining sent Madam Zheng to the carriage. Although his nose was a little sore, he still had a bright smile on his face. "Grandmother, don't worry. When this matter is over, Wang Ye and I will bring my mother and two brothers to see you."
"Okay. Then I'll wait. "Madam Zheng's smile was unprecedentedly relaxed in the past two years.
She still hadn't forgotten her deceased husband and children. The voices and smiles of those people were already engraved in her mind. She wouldn't forget them for the rest of her life. Even if she reached the end of her life, as long as she had these memories, she would be satisfied.
She had already avenged her family and preserved the bloodline of the Sun family. She also tried her best to make up for the guilt she felt towards Qin Yining.
Now that Madam Zheng had no more entanglements and worries, she wanted to live for herself for the rest of her life.
The coachman and guards were ready. With a crack of the whip, the carriage slowly moved forward. Xiao Xue floated in the air and a thin white carpet was spread on the ground.
Pang Xiao was afraid that Qin Yining would be cold, so he went forward to put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice. "Don't be sad. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. This is only a temporary separation."
Qin Yining held back her tears and nodded with a smile. "You're right. If I miss you in the future, I'll just go and see you. "
Pang Xiao looked at her eyelashes that seemed to be wet from her tears and his heart had already melted into a puddle of water. At this time, no matter what Qin Yining said, Pang Xiao would agree without a frown. He did not care at all about his occasional lack of principles because being able to spend time with Qin Yining was his greatest joy.
The two returned to the fu. Just as they got off the carriage, the doorman came to report, "Wang Ye, Wang Fei, someone has just come. He says he is the shopkeeper of Four Pipes Shop and wants to see Wang Ye."
Pang Xiao exchanged a look with Qin Yining in shock and said in unison, "He's here."
Ever since Pang Xiao heard Madam Zheng's analysis, he knew that the reason he had been able to gain control of the army so quickly was because he had fallen from one pit into another. That Four Pipes Shop would give face to Lu Zhang, but might not give face to him. Also, the army was facing the time of payment, but other than being in debt, Pang Xiao did not even go out to borrow money.
However, while Pang Xiao was worried inside, his expression was calm.
He pulled Qin Yining's hand and walked forward. As he walked, he said, "Have that person go to the front hall. Wang Fei and I will be there immediately."
"Yes."
The servant hurriedly went to give the order.
When Qin Yining and Pang Xiao came to the front hall, there was already a brazier with silver charcoal burning in it. The shopkeeper of Four Pipes Shop was sitting in the guest's seat.
Seeing Pang Xiao come in with Qin Yining, that person hurriedly stood and bowed. "Wang Ye, Wang Fei, this one is surnamed Liu. I am the shopkeeper of Four Pipes Shop. I have come this time to discuss with Wang Ye the matter that the army owes Four Pipes Shop three million taels of silver."
Three million taels?
Pang Xiao was so angry he laughed.
