Old madam was frightened and took a step back in a trance. She accidentally stepped on the pedal and fell on the arhat bed.
"Old madam!" Mammy Qin hurriedly supported her.
Qin Yining also subconsciously supported her. If one looked carefully at her expression, they would find that she was absent-minded at this time. Her big eyes were filled with tears of grief, and her hands were trembling. However, she held back her tears and tried her best to calm herself down.
Old madam's eyes stared blankly. After a long time, she recovered her breath and her tears flowed down, "Really, it's a sin, a sin! I don't know what to say! "
She then asked Ji Xiang, "Did Qitai say if your master has any other orders?"
"Answering old madam, there are no other orders. Master only said that he won't return to the manor tonight. Old madam, please don't worry. "
"How can I not worry! The emperor will take someone's life if he doesn't agree with him! "Old madam patted her chest, and her tears fell like rolling beads.
"I shouldn't have asked Meng Ge 'er to be an official. Tell me, what is this? Back then, when the plan of sowing discord came out, it indeed became famous and dealt a heavy blow to Northern Ji. However, Meng Ge' er was also hated by that evil embryo Meng Zhi Xi. Now that he has become the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, the Emperor is looking for him in all matters, both big and small. Who knows, he might even be schemed against by someone.
Mammy Qin saw that old madam was crying sadly and hurriedly comforted her softly.
However, Qin Yining maintained the posture of supporting old madam. Her heart was very sad.
So many people from Ding General Manor had died. Even her seven and five-year-old little nephews were among them. However, when old madam heard the news, she was sad because she was afraid that her family would be implicated.
This was human nature. Didn't she know it long ago?
Qin Yining suppressed her sadness and quickly calculated in her heart: With old madam's temper, if she asked old madam to let the Sun Clan out now and let them send off the men from Ding General Manor, old madam would definitely be fuming with anger and lock her up.
Old Madam would rather let the corpses of Ding General Manor's people lie on the streets. Even if they smelled, she wouldn't care.
Not only the old madam, if it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't have the guts to collect the corpse after the Emperor suddenly beheaded them in a fit of rage.
However, she could not bear to see her grandfather and the others die in such a miserable state. She had to collect their corpses, and she had to do it flawlessly!
After the conversation with Qin Huaiyuan just now, Qin Yining more or less knew what to do. She wiped away her tears and came up with a countermeasure.
Just as Qin Yining was thinking about this, the sound of a woman crying suddenly came from outside.
"Let me go! Let me go, I want to get out, let me out! "
"First Madam, you can't!"
"Auntie, don't go out! It's a mess outside. Grandmother will be worried if you go like this! "
"I won't! You bunch of people, if it wasn't your father or brother who was in trouble, you wouldn't care! "
"Lower your voice! Aiyo, this is the gate of Ci Xiao Garden! My ancestors, my gods and Buddhas! "
"I'm still afraid of being heard!? That ungrateful old woman! How did she stick to me when my family was rich! Now that something has happened, she shrinks her neck. She's simply worse than a pig or a dog! "
…
The old madam couldn't hear the conversation outside clearly, but she could hear the few words that were scolding her very clearly.
Old woman, ungrateful, worse than a pig or a dog …
"Slap her! Slap her! "The old madam's face turned purple, and she stood up abruptly." Is this the family upbringing of that stupid woman!? How is it that her upbringing is completely gone after her father died!? She dared to insult her mother-in-law like this, where is the slightest bit of filial piety left! I'm going to divorce him. I'm going to open the ancestral hall and divorce this unfilial and stupid woman for Meng Ge 'er! "
Qin Yining supported the old madam's arm at the side, but the gaze that he looked at her with gradually turned cold.
Even if it was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the old madam's way of doing things was too unsightly. It was enough to see that the old madam wasn't just snobbish, she was selfish to the point of being cold-blooded.
Mammy Qin was on the other side of the old madam, and she was also cursing in her heart. However, as a servant, she couldn't say much. She inadvertently met Qin Yining's gaze, and Mammy Qin felt a chill on her back. She felt that the person she was facing wasn't the fourth miss, but Qin Huaiyuan!
She couldn't help but persuade, "Old madam, please calm down. First madam's maternal family was ruined, so it's normal for her to be so sad. Her mind must be muddled at this moment, and she's talking nonsense. Why should old madam bother with a crazy person? Moreover, you have to ask for first master's opinion before divorcing him. Moreover, you also have to take into account first master's reputation outside. "
Qin Yining didn't want to continue listening to the old madam. She had already seen through her realistic and powerful grandmother.
She even thought that if her mother was divorced now, it would be a good thing. She had thousands of ways to let her mother live happily outside.
Duke Ding had only fallen for a day, and the attitude of everyone in Prime Minister's fu was already like this. How much more would her mother have to suffer if she stayed? She wasn't a person who could swallow her anger and scheme. She would be eaten until there wasn't any residue left. Even if her father wanted to intervene, he was still a filial son.
Qin Yining curtsied to the old madam, and said, "Grandmother, I'll go out and take a look." Without waiting for the old madam to speak, she quickly walked out.
The old madam was helped to sit down by Mammy Qin. She gasped for breath and stomped her feet, "Look, the sky has been turned upside down!"
Qin Yining walked out of Ci Xiao Garden's courtyard and saw Mother Jin and Bing Tang, one on the left and one on the right, persuading the Sun Clan, who was covering their faces and crying. In addition, there was a maidservant and an older female servant kneeling on the ground and hugging the Sun Clan's two legs. The maidservant was called Cui Fu, and the older female servant was surnamed Zhang. One was the sixth young miss' personal maidservant, and the other was the sixth young miss' wet nurse. As for the sixth young miss, she was standing not far away and was whispering to the other servants who were watching the show.
Qin Yining had learned to be smart. He knew that he wouldn't show himself and instead found a spear.
Qin Yining quickly stepped forward and casually lifted the two people hugging the Sun Clan's two legs by their collars and threw them away.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to touch the first madam! Even if Duke Ding's fu has fallen, the first madam is still my father's first wife. What do you want to do? Do you want to die? "
Cui Fu and Nanny Zhang fell to the ground. It didn't hurt, but they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The sixth young miss couldn't keep her cool and immediately rushed over. "It was Eldest Aunt who didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on going out. That was why Cui Fu and Nanny Zhang stopped her. Eldest Aunt didn't report to old madam and rushed out of the ancestral hall on her own accord."
"What happened?" Qin Yining ignored the sixth young miss and turned to ask Mother Jin.
At this time, the Sun Clan had already cried and hugged Qin Yining. She sobbed unclearly and aggrievedly smeared her tears on Qin Yining's shoulder. She muttered, "I want to go out, Sister Yi. I want to go out and see your maternal grandfather!"
Mother Jin whispered, "Fourth young miss, just now, the sixth young miss came to tell madam that Duke Ding and the others were beheaded. Madam was in a hurry to go out. We couldn't stop her no matter what. Please persuade madam."
Qin Yining hugged the Sun Clan and cast a sidelong glance at the sixth young miss. "You actually listened to Qin Huining's words. How many bones did she give you?"
The sixth young miss didn't immediately react. She blinked and angrily said, "Who are you calling a dog!"
"Calling you a dog is an insult to dogs! For the sake of Second Aunt, I won't touch you. However, your actions won't allow you to be on a high pedestal. Bing Tang, immediately go to see Second Aunt and tell her that Qin Shuangning secretly went to the ancestral hall to incite my mother. She also ordered the maidservant and wet nurse to detain my mother here and provoked my mother to shout. You have no proof. Call two eloquent witnesses. "
"Yes." Bing Tang nodded.
The sixth young miss screamed, "Qin Yining, you and I are both young misses of the Family Qin. You can bully your adopted daughter, but can you bully your biological daughter like me?! You dare to sow discord in front of Second Madam?! "
Qin Yining ignored him and glanced at the old maids who were watching around.
He immediately saw Third Shopkeeper Jing's mother, Mother Jing, pull out a sturdy woman. "Fourth Young Miss, this servant is willing to be a witness."
Qin Yining nodded. "Okay, thank you." He didn't call her Mother Jing, but pretended not to know her.
Nanny Jing pulled the sturdy old woman and followed Bing Tang to the second branch in quick steps.
The sixth young miss was completely flustered. She wasn't raised under Di Mother's name. How could Di Mother let her go after making such a scene?!
"What are you waiting for?! Stop them! "The sixth young miss screamed and pulled Cui Fu and Mother Zhang to stop them.
The two obeyed and chased after them. However, they were knocked down by Mother Jing and the sturdy woman.
Qin Yining took advantage of the chaos and whispered a few words in the Sun Clan's ear.
The Sun Clan was stunned at first. Then, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mother! Mother! Someone come! Call a doctor! "
"Madam must have fainted from grief! Someone come! "Mother Jin heard Qin Yining's words and rushed into Ci Xiao Garden to ask for help.
Old madam was wearing a cloak and had been helped out by Mammy Qin, Ji Xiang, and Ru Yi. She stood on the steps and stared at the Sun Clan with a frown.
Qin Yining had already helped the Sun Clan to sit on the ground. Helpless tears streamed down his face. He called out like a kitten, "Mother, don't scare me. Please wake up."
Old madam opened her mouth, but Mammy Qin secretly pinched her arm.
She looked at Mammy Qin unwillingly. Mammy Qin persuaded her in a low voice, "Eldest Master is still in the palace. You have to consider his thoughts. Moreover, there are so many people watching."
Old madam glanced at the surrounding servants and suppressed her anger. She swallowed back the words' immediately divorce this idiot and throw her out '.
After all, she still cherished her reputation.
Moreover, seeing her daughter-in-law, who had an accident, fainted in front of her, how could she not take her in?
"Carry her into Ci Xiao Garden and wait for the doctor."
Old madam ordered. Mammy Qin immediately called for people to bring a spring stool and carefully moved the Sun Clan onto it. The group of people stumbled into the house.
Qin Yining took advantage of the chaos and quickly ran in the direction of the second branch. He bumped into Bing Tang, Mother Jing, and the sturdy woman who had just come out.
"Fourth Miss?"
"Mother Jing, immediately think of a way to go out and help me pass a message to Master Zhong. Thank you very much!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Miss, please instruct me."
Qin Yining whispered into Mother Jing's ear and saw that Mother Jing understood. Then, he quickly rushed to Ci Xiao Garden with Bing Tang.
