"That's right." Qin Yining found it funny and said, "How popular is Tian Jizi? Even someone as good-tempered as Mr. Mu has offended him unknowingly."
Pang Xiao also felt that it was very interesting. "I think it doesn't matter whether she is locked up or not. If she wants to leave, there are many ways to get out. When the time comes, she can still stir up trouble. Moreover, when we go back, we will take away all the trustworthy people. We don't have so many extra people to watch over her. "
Qin Yining also thought so. He smiled and said, "Actually, I think Tian Jizi won't cause trouble anymore. Letting Mr. Mu protect you is what she wants to see."
She didn't care at first because Tian Jizi wanted her dead.
Now that Pang Xiao was forced to gradually walk on the "right path", Tian Jizi was relieved of a huge burden. She probably wouldn't be as calculative as before.
Pang Xiao naturally understood what Qin Yining meant. He sighed and touched Qin Yining's head with his big hand. "Let's prepare these days. Let's try to set off as soon as possible. "
"Okay. Actually, I have something else to tell you. "
Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining's serious expression and asked curiously, "What is it? Tell me."
Qin Yining hesitated. In the end, he called Lian Xiaozhou over and instructed Bing Tang and Ji Yun, "You guys guard outside. Don't let anyone come close."
Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining being so serious and immediately sat up straight.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun saw this scene and were really worried. They were afraid that Lian Xiaozhou had caused some trouble. Bing Tang also had some premonitions. Although she didn't know exactly what happened to Lian Xiaozhou, she had been with Lian Xiaozhou for so long. She was especially concerned about Lian Xiaozhou, so she could always find some clues.
However, their master knew what to do. It was not their turn to speak.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang went out to keep watch.
Qin Yining pulled Lian Xiaozhou closer.
Four years had passed, and Lian Xiaozhou was no longer malnourished. She was already a 13-year-old girl. She had grown into a slender and elegant girl. She wore a light pink cotton jacket, and her hair was combed into two braids. She wore pink and white beaded flowers. She was delicate and beautiful like a peach blossom blooming in spring.
Lian Xiaozhou had been by Qin Yining's side for so many years, so she was fluent in her speech. When she saw Pang Xiao's serious expression, she tugged at Qin Yining's sleeve nervously. "Sister …"
Back then, when she had just arrived, she had dared to challenge this "uncle" in front of her, but as time passed, she had become afraid …
Qin Yining said, "I'm sorry, Zhixi. I've been hiding something from you."
Pang Xiao looked at Lian Xiaozhou in bewilderment.
Qin Yining also looked at Lian Xiaozhou. He held her hand and whispered to Pang Xiao, "When Dayan was destroyed, my father brought our family to Da Zhou's capital. When we passed by the border of Liang City, our group was intercepted by Ji Lan's men. In order to escape, I was forced to escape deep into the mountains. That's where I met Xiao Congee."
"Yes, you told me that you almost froze to death in the mountains that day. It was Xiao Congee who saved you. Her father passed away, and a ten-year-old child like her could not survive in the mountains. You brought her down and raised her like a younger sister. "
Qin Yining nodded. "Yes, that's what I told you and my father at that time. But in fact, I lied to you about this. Lian Xiaozhou's surname is actually not Lian. Her name should be reversed. Her surname is Zhou, and her name is Xiaolian. She's not 14 years old this year, but 13 years old. "
Pang Xiao was stunned. "Zhou Xiaolian, her surname is Zhou?"
"Yes. Her father's name is Wei Xian, and her title is Yongfu. "
Pang Xiao was shocked. "You mean, she's actually Princess Yongfu of Beiji?"
"Yes." Qin Yining nodded.
Pang Xiao found it hard to believe. "You, what's going on? Why didn't you tell me? "
Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaozhou and patted her slightly trembling hand to comfort her. He said softly, "Before Beiji was destroyed, the last emperor saw that the situation was not good. The emperor only cherished the young Princess Yongfu, so he sent a letter to General Liu Jinxuan, asking him to take the princess away.
"General Liu took the five-year-old Princess Yongfu out of the capital and lived in seclusion in the mountains. But they were always hunted down. General Liu sacrificed himself not long after to lead the pursuers away.
"Princess Yongfu was only five years old. She lived alone in the mountains. God knows how hard it was for her to survive. She lived alone until she was nine years old, until she met me. Because she was young when she left the palace, her memory was blurred. She hadn't seen anyone for more than four years. When I met her, she didn't even know how to speak. She was like a little savage. "
Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaozhou with a sad face. "When I saw her, I thought of myself. I knew that the incapable emperor of Beiji had done a lot of evil, and his dynasty was destroyed. But Princess Yongfu was so young. She didn't do anything evil. She was even implicated by her father and suffered so much at such a young age.
"At that time, I thought that your father, General Liu, died because of the incapable emperor of Beiji, and Beiji was destroyed by you. You have a feud with Little Congee. Even though she was still a child, I was afraid that you would … "
"You were afraid that I would kill her, so you kept it from me?" Pang Xiao's voice was gentle.
Qin Yining nodded. "Little Congee has been with me all these years. I have been teaching her about this country and the current world. She gradually grew up, learned to read and write, and learned pharmacology and medicine from Bing Tang. She also knew how to distinguish right from wrong. So even though the blood of the Zhou family flows in her body, she is really different from the incapable emperor of Beiji. "
Pang Xiao nodded and didn't say anything. She asked again, "Then why are you telling me now? Why do you mention the hatred of my father in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill her because of my fear of her? "
"Because you are my husband. We have lived together for so many years, and I know you well. Speaking of the hatred of my father, didn't my father sow discord between Pang Zhongzheng and the incapable emperor of Beiji? It was precisely because of this scheme that the incapable ruler of the Northern Ji State seized the opportunity to deal with the Pang Family.
"But now, you are very good to me, and you have never hated my father. You know very well what is right and what is wrong. In fact, I was too concerned and didn't tell you. When I was young, you came to see me. At that time, you were 15 or 16 years old, and you could already distinguish right from wrong. You knew that I was innocent. Now that you are almost 40 years old, you can naturally tell whether Little Congee is innocent or not. "
Pang Xiao smiled. "But she is Princess Yongfu. I can tell whether she is innocent or not. Doesn't she hate me for destroying Beiji? "
Lian Xiaozhou met Pang Xiao's sharp eyes. She first shrank her neck subconsciously, but she immediately straightened her body and stubbornly blocked Qin Yining's gaze.
"Don't talk about sister like that. Sister is a good person! I learned how to be a good person when I followed sister. I know that many things my father did were wrong. Sister taught me the truth that the peak of prosperity is bound to decline. She also taught me the change of dynasties in history.
"Da Zhou destroyed Beiji because my father wasted the people and money and killed the loyal people. Beiji's fate was exhausted, so it was destroyed. You were the one who led the soldiers to fight, but you did it for the people to live a good life. You are not a bad person.
"My father was very good to me, but he was too bad to the people in the world. Although I remember that you were the one who destroyed Beiji, I have never regarded you as an enemy. It is not only because I understand the truth and you did nothing wrong, but also because you are my sister's husband. My sister likes you very much, so you are definitely not a bad person.
"Sister hid it from you to protect me. She has been teaching me the truth. I will not harm you, so you are not allowed to be so fierce to sister!"
Even Little Porridge's voice was clear and bright. It was as if she had poured out a whole cart of walnuts and said everything that was on her mind.
Pang Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was he an unreasonable person in the eyes of this little girl?
However, when she said, "Sister likes you, so you are definitely not a bad person," he was really happy.
However, Pang Xiao wanted to tease Qin Yining, so he deliberately smiled and did not speak.
Sometimes, a smile was more intimidating than words. When a person spoke, one could judge the person's mood from the tone and content. However, when a person did not say a word, the consequences of letting their imagination run wild would be terrifying.
Lian Xiaozhou's hair stood on end. She bit her lower lip with her teeth and was so nervous that her whole body was tense.
Qin Yining was not an ordinary person. She knew Pang Xiao too well. When Pang Xiao's expression changed, she knew that he did not take it to heart. She could not help but feel relieved. At the same time, she was moved by Pang Xiao's open-mindedness.
Seeing that this person was still in the mood to tease others, she pulled Lian Xiaozhou's hand and made her stand in front of her. She rolled her eyes at Pang Xiao and comforted, "Ignore him. Your brother-in-law is like that. He is not serious at all. He is not angry."
Lian Xiaozhou looked back at Pang Xiao's fierce face. She was very suspicious of Qin Yining's judgment.
"Big sister, how about, how about you send me away so that I won't be suspected by others?"
Pang Xiao was so angry that he laughed. "Suspect what?"
Lian Xiaozhou said, "Of course you suspect that I have the intention to avenge Imperial Father."
Pang Xiao pointed at his heart. "I will sit here and let you take your revenge. See if you can kill me.
”
Lian Xiaozhou was so scared that her face turned pale. However, she stubbornly said, "I said it clearly just now. Why can't you understand what I am saying? I don't want revenge. The change of history is the general trend. Sister taught me so much so that I can live a good life. If I kill you now, will I be able to live a good life? "
"You say it as if you can kill me." Pang Xiao laughed.
"You! Bad person, bad uncle! "Lian Xiaozhou glared angrily.
Qin Yining saw that the two of them had changed the topic. He shook his head in amusement. His initial nervousness was also dissipated by this commotion.
When Pang Xiao was called an uncle, he remembered that he was almost 20 years old. Qin Yining had just turned 20 years old. In addition, he was a little rough on the battlefield. He looked much older than Qin Yining. Compared to Lian Xiaozhou, he looked more like an uncle. He could not help but snort and did not want to talk to her anymore.
