The fifth sister-in-law's eyes were wide open. Although she was looking at Qin Yining, her eyes fell on the void. Tears kept pouring out of her eyes, like a spring that would not dry up.
Seeing her like this, Duchess Ding slowly stepped forward and slowly sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her knees. Her voice was vicissitude and calm.
"Knowing that you gave birth safely, he can go with peace of mind. The dead are gone, and the living have to be stronger. It's easy for them to close their eyes. Do we, the living, have to bear these responsibilities? Sister Shuang, I know that you are a young couple and have a good relationship. Listen to your grandmother. Just think that he is traveling far away. You will finally meet him in the future. "
"Grandmother." The fifth sister-in-law choked with sobs. She held the child with one hand and grabbed Duchess Ding's hand with the other, as if she wanted to crush her fingers.
Everyone couldn't help crying again.
In the face of such a big disaster, they would either be defeated by setbacks or hold their breath and straighten their backs that had been bent.
The words that Duke Ding had told Duchess Ding before he left were still fresh in their minds.
And Duchess Ding lived up to her reputation. At the critical moment, she, who was the weakest and the oldest, should be the one crying the most, but she was able to calmly analyze everything and lead the panicked womenfolk to choose the right path.
Qin Yining looked at Duchess Ding with admiration, but he felt distressed for her.
The only thing she could do was to take good care of her grandmother and the others and not let them eat and wear their clothes.
When the tragic end of Duke Ding's family was known to everyone, the credence of Da Zhou, which was posted all over the street, swept over again. This time, not only the bulletin boards were conspicuous, but also the streets and alleys had flyers fluttering in the wind. Those who could read could pick up one and read the content on it.
Da Zhou killed twenty thousand captives because of the Yan Emperor's charge. Another twenty thousand men were never able to see their parents again.
As for the good emperor of the Yan dynasty, he still lived a life of luxury with the Demon Empress without any worries. In order to beg for the forgiveness of the Da Zhou emperor, he even forced the grandson of the Duke of Ding's family to offer up his brain. However, the Da Zhou people made a fuss and scolded him. He was so scared that he killed all the men of the Sun family. He didn't even spare the five-year-old child. After killing them, he immediately went to the Da Zhou Dynasty and shamelessly begged the Emperor of Zhou to appease his anger.
The emperor was so muddle-headed, lecherous, and cowardly that he didn't hesitate to kill his loyal subjects. Everyone found it difficult to calm down!
As the new year approached, Jingdou was completely immersed in grief and anger. Even the common people felt a chill in their hearts when they thought of the rumors from that day, Cao Guozhang's domineering killing in the street, and the Emperor's indifference.
The Sun Clan was even more bitterly disappointed than the commoners.
"Mother." The Sun Clan was wearing a sapphire blue robe, silver jewelry, and a black cloak. As soon as she entered the door, she hugged Duchess Ding's leg and cried, "Mother, Qin Meng, that ungrateful person, he failed me and our family!"
When Duchess Ding saw her crying daughter, she felt her head buzzing.
This daughter of hers was really useless.
She only knew how to complain and cry. It was no wonder that she raised a daughter like Qin Huining.
"Get up and talk." Duchess Ding rubbed her forehead.
Mother Bao, who had just been redeemed, helped the Sun Clan to sit on the embroidered stool. "Madam, don't cry. You have to take care of Madam's health. " Such a big thing had happened to her family, but the Sun Clan didn't do much for her family. They didn't even come to see her in the past two days. They were all busy with Qin Yining. Mother Bao already had a lot of complaints about the Sun Clan.
The Sun Clan sniffled and said with grievance, "Qin Meng wants to take that slut from the Cao Family as his concubine. He's going to bring her in today! No matter how I persuade him, it's useless. He even deceived me, saying that the Emperor gave Madam Cao to him. Mother, how can he treat me like this! If it weren't for father's promotion, would he be where he is today? Now that something has happened to our family, their family is so ungrateful. It's really disappointing.
！”
Duchess Ding raised her eyes and looked at the Sun Clan's pale face, blue eyes, and eyes that were swollen like walnuts from crying. She sighed and said, "Sister Han, you're not a child anymore. There are some things that I have taught you a long time ago. You don't want to take it to heart and work hard to manage your life. You only think about your family background. Can you sit on your family's merit book and look down on your husband's family for the rest of your life? I've said this before. Now that the Sun Clan has fallen, you have no one to rely on. In the future, when I'm not by your side, you have to use your brain more. "
The Sun Clan's tears burst out again when she heard this. "Mother, why aren't you by my side?"
Duchess Ding touched her face and turned to look at Qin Yining, "This time, Sister Yi has helped us a lot. We can't repay her."
"Grandmother, don't say that. This is what I should do. I'm also filial to my mother. "Qin Yining said seriously.
"I know. You're a sensible child. Now I've thought of a place to go and have contacted the appropriate people. Today, I'll start to move. In the future, you should serve your mother well and live a good life in the Family Qin. Let's contact each other less. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.
The Sun Clan's daughter said in a panic, "Mother, are you angry with me? I, I just have no place to vent my grievances, so I came to tell you. I know I shouldn't have. Mother, don't be angry. Don't leave me! "
"It's not directed at you." Duchess Ding sighed and said, "Sister Han, you should trust your husband's words more in the future and listen to Sister Yi's advice more. That Madam Cao must have been given to the son-in-law by the Emperor. Her origin is not simple. You have to be careful with her in the future. Don't believe anyone's words easily. If you encounter something, you have to discuss it with Sister Yi before you do it. Sister Yi is a person who understands. "
The Sun Clan's daughter listened to Duchess Ding's last words.
She became even more flustered.
Qin Yining had already understood Duchess Ding's meaning. He frowned and said, "Grandmother, you really don't have to worry. I didn't create the rule that Zhao Yunsi rented people from the Musical House. It's a rule passed down from my ancestors. I'm willing to take our family here and raise them. This is also the freedom of Zhao Yunsi. How can the Emperor extend his hand to us? "
"Silly girl." Duchess Ding said, "Do you think the Emperor is reasonable? If he were reasonable, our family wouldn't be in such a situation. Your father's identity and status are special. It's not appropriate for us to stay. Besides, I have something to do. "
Speaking of this, Duchess Ding stood up and patted the Sun Clan's head. Then she said to Qin Yining lovingly, "Although you haven't been home for a long time, I can see that you are a smart child. Let's have less contact with each other in the future. It's a blessing for us to live our own lives and die peacefully. "
Qin Yining frowned when he heard this.
Bing Tang, Song Lan, and Qiu Lu, who were serving on the side, all felt that Duchess Ding's words were too cold-blooded.
At that time, in order to rescue these women, in order to send the news to the prison of the Ministry of Justice so that the men would not be worried before they died, in order to collect the bodies of the men of the Sun Clan, and in order to help their masters find their loyal servants, she spent more than just money. How much did she worry and how much risk did she take?
