Pang Xiao knew that Qin Huaiyuan was full of vicissitudes of life and no longer had the heart to be strong.
Although his thoughts were different from his father-in-law's, he couldn't deny that from Qin Huaiyuan's point of view, taking advantage of the current situation to retreat was indeed the safest way.
However, Qin Huaiyuan wasn't him, so he didn't fully understand his current situation. Anyone could leave, but he and Qin Yining couldn't.
If they also retreated, who would be the barrier?
Not to mention anything else, Tian Jizi was obviously still conflicted about the day's calculations. Just as he had analyzed, a desert could stop Li Qitian, but it might not be able to stop Tian Jizi.
"Don't worry, Father-in-law. I will think carefully." Qin Huaiyuan nodded with a heavy expression.
Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "Dai Fu, listen to your father-in-law. Grandma doesn't ask you to be rich, I just want our family to be safe and sound. "
"I understand what grandma means." Pang Xiao smiled.
Mrs. Ma patted the back of her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Since the whole family is moving, I will go back and tell your grandfather. We will go with the in-laws, so we don't have to go through the trouble twice. We can take care of each other when the family is together."
"Mrs. Ma is right," Mrs. Ma said. Madam Zheng added, "When we reach the oasis, we can continue to help Sister Yi take care of the children as usual. The children's grandfather will be responsible for teaching them literature, and you can also teach them how to train their muscles and bones. "
Mrs. Ma heard this and nodded repeatedly. "That's good. My heart is full of these two precious children. I feel sad if I can't see them." Mrs. Ma looked at Pang Xiao. "But your mother …"
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. You and grandfather can rest assured and prepare. I will order people to bring my mother back as soon as possible and set off with the family."
"Oh, that's good." Mrs. Ma smiled and nodded.
When Qin Huaiyuan saw that his suggestion was accepted without any resistance, he could finally put down the huge rock in his heart.
"Since we've come to an agreement, let's go make our own preparations. The sooner we're ready, the sooner we can set off."
"Yes." Second Old Master, Third Old Master, Qin Han, and the others all nodded and left the old madam's courtyard.
Qin Yining had been standing silently by the side, observing the expressions of the whole family.
Regarding this family relocation plan, there were those who were happy, those who didn't care, and naturally, there were those who were unwilling.
As expected, Miss Ba and Qin Huining didn't look too good.
In fact, she could understand Miss Ba and Qin Huining's feelings. It was not easy to talk about the marriage, but it was repeatedly delayed by family matters. Her two children were almost two years old. Qin Huining, who was the same age as her, and Miss Ba, who was a little younger than her, were still unmarried.
Now that they had moved to Xi Yue, the marriage of the two ladies was even more uncertain. They couldn't be blamed for feeling sad. If this happened to anyone, it would be hard to let go.
Qin Huining wanted to persuade them, but considering that she married into the highest family among her cousins, if she went to persuade them, it would be hard to avoid suspicion that she was just standing there and talking without knowing her own backside. Thus, she turned around and quietly pulled on Qin Han's sleeve.
"Second Older Brother, I see that Miss Ba and Huining seem to have something on their minds. Later, let Second Older Sister-in-law go take a look. "
Qin Han was surprised and looked at the backs of Qin Huining and Miss Ba. He immediately understood, "Don't worry, I'll go personally. I'll definitely comfort them."
The Han family's second young mistress sometimes had small thoughts. She was easily overwrought with many things that she couldn't resolve herself. Qin Yining was also somewhat afraid that she would persuade them and make them even more uncomfortable. It would be better if Qin Han was willing to go personally.
Pang Xiao walked to Qin Yining's side and greeted him with a smile. After Qin Han walked away, Pang Xiao said, "I'll go back to the barracks to take a look. I won't be coming tonight. Be a good girl at home. "
Hearing his coaxing tone, Qin Yining laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I'm not a three year old child. Besides, the whole family is here, so there's nothing to worry about."
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded. These days, he and Qin Yining had been sticking together and occasionally had to be separated. He still felt unaccustomed to it. He sighed and stroked her soft cheeks with his large hand, "Be good. If there's anything, just send someone to tell me. Don't shoulder it by yourself. "
Qin Yining nodded. She felt as if she was being held in the palm of his hand and couldn't help but reveal a big smile. The little dimples on her cheeks were especially lovable.
Pang Xiao also smiled at her, but he still used all his strength to walk out. He felt that if he looked at her a few more times, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the house today.
Seeing Pang Xiao walk away with large strides, Qin Yining smiled and turned around. She saw Qin Huaiyuan looking at her with a smile.
"Father." Qin Yining's cheeks flushed.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Zhixi went to the military camp?"
"That's right. He still has something to take care of. This time, he arranged for a substitute to be there. If he wants to walk around openly, there's still a process. "
Qin Huaiyuan nodded with a smile.
Qin Yining followed Qin Huaiyuan out of the old matriarch's Ci Xiao Garden and took a stroll along the small path in the residence.
"Father must have gone through a narrow escape this time, right?" Qin Yining said with a long sigh, "At that time, I discovered this in the palace, but I was under house arrest. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to pass on the news. Fortunately, I still remember that Father mentioned Eunuch Jiang Yuan to me at that time, so I passed on the news to the Qingtian Alliance. However, I was afraid that the people from the Qingtian Alliance wouldn't be able to make it in time … "
There was no need for Qin Yining to say it in detail. Qin Huaiyuan could imagine the scene at that time. Qin Yining was trapped alone in the palace, and Pang Xiao was far away in the south. She had to face the Tatan Princess deliberately making things difficult for her. She had to advance step by step in the palace and not leave any evidence for others to use against her. She also had to think of a way to pass on the news.
These were not considered. The most exhausting thing was that the mountain was high and the road was far away. She simply didn't know whether everything she did was useful or not.
Qin Huaiyuan stopped in his tracks and patted Qin Yining's shoulder with heartache.
Thousands of words turned into a long sigh.
The situation was like this. As Qin Huaiyuan's daughter, she enjoyed glory, splendor, wealth, and leisure, but she had to worry and fear a lot.
"It's Father who brought you down. Child, you've had a bad life since you were young. Because of Father Fever's troubles, you were swapped out by bad people and suffered outside for 14 years. Now that Father thinks about it, it's hard to imagine how you survived when you were eight years old and went into the mountains alone. Not to mention that you were only eight years old at that time, even if Father went into the mountains now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive.
"In the end, Father is not a qualified father. At that time, Father was muddle-headed and didn't support you. As a result, when you returned home, you were suspected by your mother. You didn't enjoy much of the warmth of a family. Later, Father even brought you down. I had to bring you to the peace talks. You were involved in the matters of the imperial court. You were almost eaten by the demon empress, and you were caught up in the drought and famine … "
"Father, why do you have to brood over the past? No matter how difficult it was at that time, didn't extreme misfortune turn to bliss in the end? "
"Yes, but that's because you were smart and you did a good job." Qin Huaiyuan sighed and said, "In general, Father feels guilty towards you because Father didn't give you a comfortable life like other noble young ladies. Now, I'm going to take my family and escape, leaving you here. "
Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Yining. His eyes were filled with sorrow and guilt.
When Qin Yining saw her father like this, she also felt sad. She forced herself to be spirited and said with a smile, "Father, don't say that. The current situation is already different from before. The world has just been settled, and the Tatan is temporarily powerless to disturb the borders. There's also a small emperor in the south who is no longer a threat. Today's emperor is full of ambition, scheming, and suspicious. How could he tolerate Pang Zhixi? Our family can't stay here like fools and become living targets. You should take everyone related to us and leave. That's the best thing to do.
"Moreover, they don't know what Xiyue is like, but do you think I don't know? Although the customs there are simple and honest, it has been isolated for many years. If we want to build Xiyue up, it won't be done in a day. Father already has to work hard to mediate the relationships between several families. I'm afraid you'll have to spend even more effort on the construction of Xiyue. Father still has a lot of things to do in the future. "
Qin Yining thought of the vast oasis. It was almost equivalent to a piece of undeveloped land, and its geographical location was very different from the old capital. It was much hotter there, and her family would probably need a long time to adapt. In addition, everyone in the family had their own thoughts. As the head of the family, Qin Huaiyuan had to mediate. She could already imagine her Family Qin's future life in Xiyue.
Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and shook his head. "These are all things that I should do as a father. I'm just worried about you."
Qin Yining knew what Qin Huaiyuan meant. She smiled freely and said, "Father, you don't have to worry. Wang Ye will protect me. Moreover, now that our family is in a safe place, His Highness and I will be able to do whatever we want. "
"So, you mean you don't plan to persuade Wang Ye to stay away from the disputes and live in seclusion in the mountains?"
Qin Yining pondered for a moment, then told Qin Huaiyuan about the Tian Jizi in detail.
"She's a strange person. Even now, she's willing to be put under house arrest by Wang Ye in the army. I think she just doesn't want to leave. She believes in destiny and cares a lot about the divination from back then. I think she's always wanted the Ziwei Emperor Star to take that position.
"If we have the same goal and common interests as her, then it's fine. But if we go against her ideas, she can blow up the Imperial Mausoleum in Beiji. Who knows if she'll blow up the capital next time.
"Although the desert is a natural barrier for Xiyue, it can't stop Tian Jizi. If Wang Ye and I live in seclusion, you'll become Tian Jizi's targets, regardless of whether we go to the desert or not.
"Now that things have come to this point, I think it's better to put all our eggs in one basket and completely solve all the problems. Otherwise, there'll be endless troubles in the future."
Qin Huaiyuan listened to Qin Yining's words and slowly widened his eyes in shock.
"Sister Yi, what I heard, why does it sound like … we should comply with the Tian Jizi's divination?"
