Pang Xiao sat up and hugged Qin Yining in his arms. He said in a low voice, "What's there to apologize for? Apologize! This matter isn't your fault. You're not the one who should apologize. You're not allowed to go. "
His tone was fierce.
However, Qin Yining was amused by his expression.
"Alright, I'm a junior. It's not shameful to apologize to an elder. This matter is settled. " Qin Yining covered his mouth and yawned. He pushed Pang Xiao to lie down. "Hurry up and sleep. Otherwise, you'll go out with two dark circles under your eyes tomorrow. Those who don't know will think that I'm punishing you by not allowing you to sleep."
Pang Xiao burst out laughing.
The mountain that was pressing on his heart seemed to have been removed in an instant.
He lay down, turned over, and hugged Qin Yining in his arms again. He kissed her forehead lovingly. "Be good. Go to sleep."
Qin Yining closed her eyes and hugged Pang Xiao's waist. She grabbed his snow-white underwear and quickly fell asleep.
She didn't know that after she fell asleep, Pang Xiao still couldn't sleep.
Early the next morning, Qin Yining dressed up and instructed Bing Tang to apply medicine for Ji Yun. After everything was done, he went to Old Madam's place to pay his respects.
The entire family knew about yesterday's matter. However, everyone was well-mannered and didn't talk about it. Perhaps it was because Qin Huaiyuan was at home, so everyone in the family restrained themselves.
Qin Yining bowed to Old Madam. He also asked Brother Han and Brother Zhao to bow to her.
The whole family couldn't close their mouths from smiling because of the two children's charmingly naive appearance.
Qin Huaiyuan took the opportunity to say with a smile, "Mother, our luggage is ready. I think it's the same for our in-laws' side. Why don't we prepare some food and wine today and have a reunion dinner together?"
As soon as Qin Huaiyuan said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Although it was called a reunion dinner, it was actually a farewell dinner. No matter what, they were about to part ways. The whole family was somewhat reluctant to part with Qin Yining and Pang Xiao. After all, once they left, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining would be left to fight alone. They did not know when they would meet again.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Then I'll send someone to invite Old Master Yao and the others."
When Qin Huaiyuan saw that his daughter didn't seem to have any grudges, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Qin Yining's maturity and sensibility.
Because only when one grew up would one realize that sometimes, a family didn't necessarily have to fight for a winner. If one won alone, but destroyed the harmony of the family, it couldn't be considered a victory. Only when one achieved one's goal would it be considered a true victory. Taking a small step back could achieve greater things. Many people knew which one was more important, but there were very few who could truly control their emotions.
Pang Xiao was very ashamed. Today, he lowered his head and didn't say anything.
When Qin Huaiyuan saw this, he really didn't want to make things difficult for Pang Xiao. He also didn't want to spoil the relationship between the young couple. He smiled and said, "Today, you're not in a hurry to go to the military camp, right? In any case, you can go after the banquet. "
Pang Xiao was very happy that his father-in-law took the initiative to talk to him. He nodded and said, "Yes, Xie Yue, Father."
His gratitude was very complicated.
Qin Huaiyuan understood and was very happy. "What are you talking about? It's a small matter. Remember, no matter what, we're still a family."
"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan's words moved Pang Xiao so much that his eyes were a little hot. He had a wife who understood the big picture and a family that was so sensible. If he didn't appreciate it, even the heavens wouldn't let him.
When he went back, he had to make it clear to the Yao Clan. Whether it was to persuade them emotionally, reason with them, or just scare them directly, he definitely couldn't let the Yao Clan continue to cause trouble in the desert.
Qin Yining asked Bing Tang to personally go to the guest courtyard.
Mrs. Ma knew that Bing Tang was the most capable person by Qin Yining's side. When she heard that the in-laws were holding a banquet and even invited them to go together, she immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, tell Yi that we'll go later."
"Oh. Then I'll take my leave. " Bing Tang bowed to Mrs. Ma and Yao Chenggu with a smile. Her almond-shaped eyes looked around and didn't see the Yao Clan in the room. She didn't show any emotions on her face and left respectfully.
Yao Chenggu was a little unhappy.
This Qin Clan was really putting on airs. Could it be that they were sure that they wouldn't fall out with them? Did she really think that she was a noble princess consort? She invited the elders to a banquet and actually arranged for a little girl to come.
Mrs. Ma looked at Yao Chenggu's long face and sneered but didn't say anything.
She had lived with the Yao Clan for most of her life. When she was young, she knew that Yao Chenggu was a little smart and had a good character. However, as time passed, Yao Chenggu became more and more scheming. Now, he even tricked his daughter into this state.
Mrs. Ma sighed. It was precisely because she was too stupid and didn't have any ability that she led him to this state.
Yao Chenggu didn't know what his old wife was thinking. He was calculating in his heart and finally came to the conclusion that the current situation was very good. In any case, the Qin Clan didn't want to do anything to the three of them on the spot. There was still room for future plans.
The old couple packed up and when it was time, they prepared to go out.
Mrs. Ma had been observing Yao Chenggu. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to bring the Yao Clan with him, she couldn't help but ask playfully: "Why, you don't want to bring your precious daughter? She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since yesterday. "
Yao Chenggu said sternly: "If she made a mistake, she should be punished. She won't starve if she doesn't eat one or two meals. It's right to let her reflect on herself, so that she won't make any big trouble in the future."
Yao Chenggu's words really touched Mrs. Ma's heart.
Mrs. Ma was a little suspicious and shook her head: "If you had taught her this earlier, she wouldn't have become so crooked."
Yao Chenggu didn't answer Mrs. Ma's words and only pursed his lips.
The two of them went to the reception hall in silence. Qin Yining had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the two of them coming, he quickly went to greet them and respectfully bowed: "Old Master, Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law and my mother were preparing for the banquet, so I didn't personally come to greet the two of you. Please forgive me, Old Master and Grandmother."
Yao Chenggu said with a smile: "Aren't you being too formal by saying this? There are so many people in the Qin Clan. It's not easy to arrange a banquet and think about everyone eating well. Besides, we're all family, so we don't care about etiquette. "
Qin Yining smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. "Yes, thank you for your understanding, Grandpa."
Mrs. Ma went forward and pulled Qin Yining's hand to go to the reception hall.
Qin Yining looked behind the two of them: "Grandmother, where's my mother-in-law? Why didn't she come with the two of you? "
When Yao Chenggu heard Qin Yining mention the Yao Clan, he immediately became alert. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yining's expression, worried that Qin Yining was holding a grudge and wanted to take revenge.
Could it be that today's banquet was a trap?
Yao Chenggu almost couldn't control himself and wanted to go back.
Qin Yining saw that Yao Chenggu's expression was strange, so he looked at Mrs. Ma inquiringly.
Mrs. Ma said: "Don't worry about her, lest she comes and bully you again. She's like a shit-stirring stick."
Yao Chenggu felt that Mrs. Ma's words didn't sound right, so he coughed heavily.
Ever since Qin Yining went to the door to greet the guests, Pang Xiao had been standing in the corridor of the reception hall like a log, watching from afar. He pricked up his ears to listen, afraid that Qin Yining would be wronged again.
The young couple's behavior amused Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan, who were only a window away.
Qin Huaiyuan had already comforted the Sun Clan last night. Cheng Po had carefully analyzed that if the Yao Clan made trouble again in the future, he would tell the Sun Clan how to deal with them.
Therefore, after a night, the depression in the Sun Clan's heart had long disappeared. They even somewhat hoped that the Yao Clan would make trouble again, so that they could find a chance to vent their anger for Sister Yi.
They clearly saw that Pang Xiao was depressed today. Now that their daughter took the initiative to talk to the Old Madam of the in-law's family, while their son-in-law stood in the corridor and watched for fear that their daughter would be wronged, the Sun Clan and Qin Huaiyuan were in a better mood. They walked out of the reception hall and greeted them with a smile.
"Old Master Yao, Old Madam." Qin Huaiyuan saluted and said with a smile, "Why don't you come in and sit? The wine and dishes are ready, and the banquet is about to begin. "
When Madam Ma saw the kind smiles on Qin Huaiyuan and Madam Sun's faces, it was as if nothing had happened. Madam Ma was moved and held Madam Sun's hand.
Yao Chenggu's reaction was exactly the opposite. The alarm in his heart was ringing.
Bad, bad! Qin Huaiyuan's attitude, was he holding back something bad?
Qin Yining turned around and said to Qin Huaiyuan, "Father, I just said that my mother-in-law didn't come today."
Pang Xiao also walked forward and looked at Mrs. Ma inquiringly.
Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Mrs. Ma must still be angry with Sister Yi?"
"No, don't say that." Yao Chenggu hurriedly waved his hand.
Qin Yining blushed and said, "In fact, yesterday was really a misunderstanding. It was my ignorance that made Old Madam so angry. I've been waiting for them to arrive so that I can apologize. "
Mrs. Ma felt sorry for Qin Yining and hurriedly said, "Good boy, I know your heart and I know you have been wronged. To tell you the truth, your troublesome mother-in-law is kneeling in the wing room as punishment."
Qin Yining was surprised, "How can she do that?"
Yao Chenggu said righteously, "Why can't she do that? She acted like that, throwing a tantrum without distinguishing between right and wrong, speaking without thinking and hurting people. She deserves to be punished to kneel. "
Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly said anxiously, "That can't be done. It is my daughter who should apologize to Mrs. Ma. How can she be punished to kneel?"
What he said …
Yao Chenggu's pupils shrank. He secretly cursed this official for being so unforgiving. Qin Huaiyuan's words were clearly for the Yao Clan, but in reality, he was blaming Yao Chenggu for being a busybody. He didn't think clearly and only punished her to kneel. Wouldn't the Yao Clan hate Qin Yining even more?
Yao Chenggu was also a quick-witted and eloquent person, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word to deal with it.
Qin Huaiyuan thought for a while and said, "How about this? Let's go and pick up Mrs. In-law as a family and let Sister Yi apologize to Mrs. In-law. This reunion banquet should be a family reunion no matter what."
Mrs. Ma felt guilty and felt that Qin Yining had been wronged. Therefore, she held Qin Yining's hand with one hand and the Sun Clan's hand with the other. Her face was full of guilt. Qin Yining and the Sun Clan couldn't help but feel sorry for this kind-hearted and righteous old woman. They didn't want to make things difficult for her anymore.
Yao Chenggu, on the other hand, secretly sighed in relief.
As long as the Family Qin was willing to give them a way out, it was fine. After one night, the Yao Clan should have thought it through. If there was a way out, it would be easier for the family to talk and do things when they met in the future. Otherwise, if they quarreled, how would they get along when they went to Xiyue?
