Qin Yining understood that such a big thing had happened in Duke Ding's Mansion and caused indelible damage to the womenfolk. Sometimes, it was easier to die than to live and bear all the pain.
Her grandmother was a woman who had lost everything overnight. She had to brace herself and grit her teeth to live on with these womenfolk who had no idea what to do. The road ahead would be very bumpy and difficult.
Especially when they still had hatred in their hearts.
Although Qin Huaiyuan acquiesced to her help and didn't take advantage of them to elevate himself, he was still the Emperor's favorite minister and the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor.
Today, Qin Huaiyuan was forced to take Madam Cao as his concubine. One day, her marriage might have an inseparable relationship with the royal family.
The womenfolk of Duke Ding's Mansion hated the royal family, and it was inevitable that the Qin Family and the royal family were inextricably linked. Their paths were different, and it was useless for her grandmother to say anything. The only thing she could do was to stay away from them.
Qin Yining wasn't angry or disappointed. She was just sad about this difficult world.
Seeing Qin Yining's expression, Duchess Ding sighed softly and patted her shoulder again to comfort her. In the end, she didn't say anything else.
Sun Clan couldn't control her emotions. She covered her face and sobbed.
In the past, her eldest and second aunts doted on her youngest aunt and comforted her when they saw her like this. Now, they were drowning in grief and had no time to care about her.
Qin Yining pulled Sun Clan's arm and motioned for her to stop crying. Seeing that she really stopped sobbing, she said, "Grandmother said that she had contacted a place to go. Where do you want to go? With such a big family, all the properties of Duke Ding's Mansion have been confiscated. You are all womenfolk, and there are no guards to protect you. Where can you settle down? "
Seeing that Qin Yining was sincere and didn't have any ill feelings, Duchess Ding couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Sister Yi, if you are worried, you can follow us and have a look. This place is not far from here."
Qin Yining looked at Duchess Ding's face and couldn't help thinking quickly.
It was not far from here and could accommodate so many womenfolk. Moreover, Duchess Ding could bring the womenfolk to live in a place with peace of mind …
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise, "You want to go to the Fairy Lady Temple?!"
Duchess Ding was surprised that she had guessed it so quickly and nodded.
Qin Yining and the members of the Sun Clan, along with Mother Jin, Cai Ju, Song Lan, Bing Tang, and Qiu Lu, stayed behind to help Duchess Ding's family. During this time, they even took the time to instruct Song Lan to call Master Zhong. They immediately took out a hundred taels worth of banknotes and exchanged for a total of three thousand taels.
The mistress and servants sat in six large carriages and arrived at the Fairy Lady Temple in the afternoon.
A little Daoist nun had seen them from afar and rushed in to report.
When the group arrived at the mountain gate, Fairy Liu led a few young Daoist nuns to welcome them.
"Supreme Taiyi Tianzun Du E! Old Madam, how are the ladies, grannies, and ladies? I heard that you were planning to seek shelter. I have ordered people to clean up the courtyard for you. "
Fairy Liu was wearing a grayish-blue Daoist robe and a new green cloak. She looked round and had a shrewd smile on her face. It was unknown if she had gained weight again.
"Thank you for taking us in, Fairy Liu." Duchess Ding sighed and led the womenfolk into the mountain gate with Fairy Liu. "Fairy Liu, you were right about everything back then."
"Alas, I hope I wasn't right." Fairy Liu also sighed. When she saw Bing Tang, who was looking at her with big watery eyes and dressed up neatly and beautifully, she couldn't help laughing. "Oh, it's Jingzhen. Come and let Master have a look."
"Master." Bing Tang let go of Qin Yining's arm and stepped forward to salute with a smile.
Fairy Liu patted Bing Tang's head and said, "It seems that you are doing well now. Miss Qin is really a benevolent and righteous person."
Qin Yining held the Sun Clan's arm and smiled. "You flatter me. I don't deserve it."
Fairy Liu looked at the womenfolk behind her who were dressed in white. She then saw two old women supporting a pale-faced young woman. Behind them was a pregnant woman who was holding a baby. She said, "The weather is cold. Why don't we let the madams and grannies settle down in their rooms first?"
"Alright. Thank you, Fairy Liu. "Duchess Ding smiled gratefully.
Fairy Liu called two of her disciples over. "Take everyone to the side courtyard first."
"Yes, Master."
The two little Daoist nuns bowed and led everyone to the side courtyard on the west side.
Fairy Liu led Duchess Ding, the Sun Clan, and Qin Yining to her courtyard.
While walking, Fairy Liu kept looking at the pale-faced Sun Clan.
Who would have thought that when they arrived at the courtyard gate, they heard a young man complaining, "Why were you gone for so long? Master was waiting for you."
The two sides walked across each other. Qin Yining and Bing Tang both widened their eyes.
The young man in front of them was seventeen or eighteen years old. He was of medium height and looked strong. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His facial features were very regular. He was wearing a dark blue cotton-padded jacket with a wool jacket and a warm hat. He was also looking at them in surprise. When his eyes landed on Bing Tang, his originally fair face instantly turned red.
It was the young man who covered Bing Tang's mouth in the main hall that day!
If he was here, then the young man who was called "Master" by Fairy Liu was also here?!
Sure enough, when the bamboo curtain in the main room opened, a handsome young man wearing a brocade cloak with a gray fur collar walked out. He was tall, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. He had a gentle temperament. It was the young man Qin Yining had met.
Qin Yining quickly lowered his eyes. Thinking of the scene that day, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
Seeing her blush, Pang Xiao couldn't help but look away awkwardly, although he had been hiding his eyes and slightly hunching his back to change his aura.
Fairy Liu's shrewd eyes looked back and forth between their faces. Then she grinned and said, "Come on, it's cold outside. Let's talk inside. The path here is narrow, so there's only a charcoal brazier in this room for the time being. Anyway, we've already met, and we're not strangers. Please come in."
The guest had to follow the host's wishes. Since Fairy Liu said so, and Duchess Ding and her womenfolk would settle down here in the future, Qin Yining couldn't refuse. He only helped the Sun Clan and Duchess Ding into the room.
The room was as warm as spring.
Fairy Liu sat at the head of the table and invited everyone to make themselves comfortable.
The young master sat at the head of the table on Fairy Liu's left. The strong young man stood behind him.
Duchess Ding and the Sun Clan sat opposite him. Qin Yining stood behind his grandmother as usual. For the time being, Bing Tang and Mother Jin were sent to the outer room.
