"You too. How many times have I told you that you should be in a hurry to speak up when something happens? Dafu just entered the family when he came back and was being intimate with Qin Shi along the way. You had to say this when he was in a good relationship. Will he be obedient?" Yao Chenggu was exasperated. He picked up the brass smoking pipe in annoyance. Just as he twirled the tobacco, he suddenly remembered what Qin Yining had said.
That penetrating gaze and condescending tone would probably make him unhappy whenever he thought about it for a while.
After Yao Chenggu's reminder, the Yao Clan also felt upset. She really didn't choose a good time. She was too anxious. She always wanted Pang Xiao to have a child with a pure bloodline.
She didn't want to be like him, who foolishly didn't know who to raise his son for.
Just as the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu were feeling depressed, Qin Yining had already met with Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and the others.
"Amitabha. We're finally safe and sound." Ji Yun happily bowed to the deities.
Qin Yining sat down and smiled as he received the tea that Bing Tang brought over. He said, "This time, it's all thanks to the bag of medicine that Bing Tang left for me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back to see you."
"What happened?" Everyone's expressions became serious. Lian Xiaozhou's handkerchief was twisted into a fried dough twist.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Look at you guys. It's just a false alarm. Anyways, it's that bag of colorless and odorless medicine that helped me a lot. "He smiled at Bing Tang." I'll definitely thank you properly when I get back. "
Bing Tang's expression wasn't good. He pulled on Qin Yining's sleeve and shook it. "I told Wang Fei to be careful and not take such risks. But Wang Fei didn't listen. Even if you didn't say it, we could all guess how tense the situation was. Don't thank me. I don't want you to thank me. I just hope that you can be safe in the future and cherish yourself."
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh at Bing Tang's nagging. "Don't say it so early. If I give you the Huzi as a thank you gift, what if you don't want it? "
Ji Yun, Xian Yun, Qiu Lu, and Lian Xiaozhou all burst out laughing. The originally tense atmosphere was lightened by Qin Yining's words.
Bing Tang blushed and said with dissatisfaction, "I'm concerned about Wangfei, but Wangfei is making fun of me. You're getting worse!"
"Aiyo, she's angry.. Hurry and help me coax her. "Qin Yining also laughed.
Bing Tang, Xian Yun, and Lian Xiaozhou went to the left and right of Bing Tang. Bing Tang was ticklish and was chased around the square table. The upper room was filled with laughter and it was extremely lively.
Qin Yining also had a smile on his face as he looked at the servant girls who were like flower buds.
But as he smiled, he felt that his eyes were very sore. He forced himself to blink hard and forced himself to hold back the tears.
Outside the door, a servant girl bowed respectfully to Pang Xiao.
Qin Yining snapped out of his daze and hurriedly took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
Bing Tang and the others also stopped laughing and joking and stood to the side.
The bead curtain in front of the door was lifted with a crash and Pang Xiao rushed in with large strides. He stood firmly on the spot with his fists clenched and looked at Qin Yining without saying a word.
Seeing that Pang Xiao's expression was not right, Ji Yun and the others put away their playful thoughts and looked at Pang Xiao nervously.
The atmosphere between the masters was not right. Could it be that they were at loggerheads?
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand. "Go and prepare hot water first. I want to take a bath."
"Yes."
The servant girls bowed and then carefully and quickly retreated.
The room returned to silence. Pang Xiao slowly walked to Qin Yining and sat down in front of him. His two hands were clenched into fists. One of them was placed on his lap and the other was gripping the red Ru Yi tablecloth tightly.
"Sister Yi, are you …" Pang Xiao was so nervous that his throat was tight and his voice was hoarse. It was as if saying one sentence was more difficult than killing ten thousand enemies on the battlefield. "Are, are you disappointed in me?"
Qin Yining did not control his emotions in a fit of rage and offended the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu. She was not afraid and did not regret it, but she also thought about how Pang Xiao would face him.
She thought of several possibilities. The best one was that he was not angry with her and did not care that she offended the elders. But she did not expect that the first thing he asked her when he came in was this question.
Qin Yining's long eyelashes trembled. She did not want Pang Xiao to see her cowardly appearance. She stubbornly refused to let the tears that rushed to her eyes fall.
"Don't think too much. I didn't mean it that way. On the contrary, I didn't control myself today and was disrespectful to the Old Master and Old Madam. I am really unfilial. "
Pang Xiao shook his head. He got up and walked to her. He squatted down in front of her and held her hands. He raised his head slightly and looked directly into her eyes. "Sister Yi, it's my fault. I know you have suffered a lot and suffered a lot. I also know that it was my fault that you were bullied because I didn't handle the matters at home well."
Qin Yining shook his head. "We are a family. What are you talking about?"
"I didn't handle the matters at home well and caused you to be implicated. I also didn't handle the matters at home well and caused Mother to treat you like that …"
He stretched his arms and hugged her waist. He squatted on the ground and pressed his face against her thigh.
"It is my incompetence as a husband that caused my wife to suffer. Sister Yi, don't be angry, and don't be disappointed in me, okay? I will deal with these matters properly in the future. "
Qin Yining looked down at Pang Xiao and gently stroked his hair. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. Her voice was a little nasal. "I am not angry with you, and I am not disappointed in you either. I just … Perhaps it is because there is no justice. I will try my best not to have any conflicts with the Old Master and Old Madam in the future. I also know that my words put you in a difficult position. "
"No, Sister Yi. No, it's not like that. I am not in a difficult position. Back then, I implicated you and caused you to be kidnapped to the Tatan and suffered so much. I didn't expect that after coming back, I would cause you to be misunderstood and suspected.
"You risked your life to give birth to two children and suffered so much. She even doubted your chastity. You are not the only one who was angry when you heard it. Even I was furious when I saw it. So you can't be blamed for this matter.
"I promise you that I will not take in a concubine or be with any other woman. I also don't want to have so many children. I have Brother Zhao and Brother Han, and that is enough for me. Sister Yi, let's just focus on living our lives. Don't care what others say or think, okay? "
Qin Yining's long eyelashes drooped. The tears that she had held back for a long time finally fell with a plop.
Pang Xiao was so nervous that he was at a loss. He hurriedly got up and hugged her. He held her in his arms like he was holding a child. He spun her twice on the ground and sat her down on the square table. He placed his hands on the table on both sides and pressed his forehead against hers. "Sister Yi, don't cry. Don't cry. Ah."
Qin Yining hugged his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. She didn't want to show weakness to anyone. If Pang Xiao didn't coax her, she might face anyone with a tough attitude. However, Pang Xiao said these words to her at this time.
Pang Xiao was so flustered. He didn't even feel so helpless when leading troops in a battle. He patted her back with his big hand and comforted her. However, he hated that his language was too poor. He could only say, "Good girl, don't cry."
After a long time, Qin Yining finally calmed down and held back her tears.
Pang Xiao was relieved. He wrung a wet handkerchief and wiped Qin Yining's face. He said while wiping, "Don't be angry and don't misunderstand. The woman's surname is Pan. Her father is a shopkeeper under Mrs. Mu. He has a lot of business in Sitong. You were in the capital during this time, so you don't know the situation in the south and the Qiu family. "
It turned out that since Qiu Yuanqing assassinated his father and took the position of the head of the family, the Qiu family was divided into two factions. One faction supported Qiu Yuanqing, while the other faction supported Qiu Feishan.
Qiu Yuanqing and Qiu Feishan each had their own confidants. And these confidants were divided into two factions. One faction was loyal to the master, and the other faction doubted the master's ability. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos and replace the master.
Qiu Yuanqing's unreliable subordinates had been dealt with by Qiu Yuanqing.
Miss Pan's father was a shopkeeper under Qiu Feishan. He had a lot of ambition. He looked down on Qiu Feishan's identity as a woman and wanted to replace her.
Qiu Feishan and Pang Xiao cooperated. The two benefited each other. Pang Xiao supported the army. The imperial court didn't give the local people food and salary. The magistrate couldn't raise money. The bandits were almost eliminated. Qiu Feishan led Sitong to cooperate with Pang Xiao. They supported the army and got the army's support.
Shopkeeper Pan also had the same idea. He could give the same treatment as Qiu Feishan. And Pang Xiao wouldn't lose out no matter who he chose to cooperate with. He could decide the success or failure of the person he chose to support.
In order to win over Pang Xiao, Shopkeeper Pan naturally used all kinds of methods. Gold, silver, treasures, and rare antiques were one thing. He also had the intention to climb up the social ladder. His daughter was born well. If she could be Pang Xiao's concubine, he would give her to Pang Xiao.
If she could be his concubine, he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough confidence in the future. If Pan Keyu could give birth to a son or a daughter, or directly become a concubine, the Pan family would have a meteoric rise.
"So her name is Keyu? Just like her name, she's a real beauty. "
Pang Xiao rolled his eyes at her. "Don't joke. How can she be compared to you? She's just an ordinary person. I can't even remember what she looks like. "
Qin Yining smiled and didn't dwell on this topic. He analyzed with Pang Xiao, "Qiu Yuanqing can't support us anymore. And we don't need people's support as urgently as Qiu Feishan.
"For her, if she wants to turn the tables, she must strive to cooperate with you. But for us, there are many people like Shopkeeper Pan who want to establish a relationship with you. Now that Qiu Feishan and her subordinates haven't decided who's better, it's even more inconvenient for us to make a choice in advance.
"So, this is why you can't fall out with Shopkeeper Pan and directly send Miss Pan back, right?"
Pang Xiao nodded, "Sister Yi is very smart."
