Return of the Swallow

When Qin Yining saw the chaos in the house, his heart felt like it was tightly grasped and twisted by a big hand. Finally out of the palace, I finally don't have to worry about any rules or regulations, I can cry whenever I want, and I don't have to worry about whether the masters in the palace will be angry if they see it.

"Father!"

She thought she said "Father" loudly, but in fact her throat made no sound at all, only a faint breath sound.

On the way from the palace to the palace, her throat was so swollen that she could not speak.

"Sister Yi, you are back!"

Seeing Qin Yining's return after a long journey, the second master and the third master hurried forward to greet him.

"Second uncle, third uncle." Qin Yining looked at his relatives, his eyes full of grief that almost drowned the people around him. He did not shout at the top of his lungs, nor beat his chest and feet like an old lady and fainted directly. He only shed tears silently, but it seemed that he would Everyone was dragged into the whirlpool of sadness.

The second master and the third master couldn't help but shed tears.

Qin Han and Qin Yu were already wearing linen and mourning. They ordered the girl to bring the linen clothes and white cloth. Bingtang and Jiyun helped Qin Yining put them on.

She stood there and let the maids manipulate her, looking around with her red and swollen eyes.

The maids and servants were busy placing mourning flags and erecting the mourning shed. Everyone was doing something, but no one made a sound.

Qin Han looked at Qin Yining, who was emaciated, with a white complexion with a hint of blue, red and swollen eyes, and pale lips. He couldn't help but patted her shoulder with distress: "Fourth sister, don't be like this. If you cry, your body will break down." , Uncle Izumi Izhi will also feel sorry for you, you have to cherish yourself."

"It's me who is unfilial." Qin Yining smiled miserably.

It was she who brought Qin Huaiyuan down.

If she had not married Pang Xiao, nothing would have happened to Qin Huaiyuan this time. But no one has the ability to predict the future. When I married Pang Xiao, I expected to be involved in court struggles and thought that I might not be able to live a peaceful life, but I never thought that I would bring trouble to my family. ah.

"Nonsense." The second master said with a thick nasal voice, "You have done a good job. Now that your father has passed away, there are still so many people in the family. The court still relies on you and the prince to control the direction of the wind. The prince If you’re not at home, you have to cheer up, you know?”

Qin Yining nodded slowly.

"I know all these truths. It's just that... I feel uncomfortable. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have died." Qin Yining's hand grasped the hem of his clothes, as if a piece was missing in his heart. If something is lost, it can never be found again.

"Silly boy. How can I blame you?" The third master sighed, "You are a good boy, don't blame yourself for this kind of thing. This is fate, I can't blame you."

Qin Yining closed his eyes, forcing himself to bring back his chaotic thoughts. When she looked again, her eyes were as bright as a sharp blade unsheathed in the moonlight.

"Second uncle, third uncle, have you sent a letter to the south?"

The second master sighed, "Not yet, Sister Yi, do you know what the Lord said specifically?"

"What did you say?"

The second master told Qin Yining exactly what Xiong Jinshui said when he came, "It seems that the Holy One is still prepared to punish the eldest brother! Even though the eldest brother has lost his life, he still wants to punish him for his poor performance and even his name." Refuse to give."

Qin Yining raised a sneer on his lips, "He may be more angry about this matter."

"Is he angry? Why?"

Qin Yining looked around,

In the end he just shook his head.

"Let's set up a mourning hall first. I think we will wait for the forty-nine days for the mourning to be carried out and wait for the Holy Lord's instructions. I will take care of it whether it is reward or punishment."

Seeing that Qin Yining was discussing the setting up of a mourning hall, Yao Chenggu, who was standing not far away, walked over with his hands folded.

"The Qin family."

Qin Yining turned around and saw that it was Yao Chenggu. He saluted and said, "Old Master."

"Yes. Your mother-in-law is going to see your grandmother in the inner house right now. Your grandmother is not in good health after hearing the news. You should go and have a look."

Qin Yining nodded and said, "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows."

Yao Chenggu nodded and said no more.

Qin Yining said something to the second master and the third master and went back first.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the gate of the old lady's courtyard, they saw Mrs. Yao coming out, still wiping the corners of her eyes with a plain blue handkerchief.

Qin Yining stood still and saluted respectfully: "Old Madam."

"Hey, you're back. What's wrong with your throat?"

"It's nothing serious."

Yao sighed and took Qin Yining's hand with both hands and walked to the corner, "I know you feel uncomfortable when something like this happens at home. Look at how thin you are. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. The mother of a child."

Although it was persuasion, Qin Yining did not feel relieved at all. Instead, she felt that Yao was reminding her that she was not only the daughter of the Qin family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Pang family.

Qin Yining was in a irritable mood and no longer had as much patience as usual, but she still suppressed her temper and said respectfully: "Yes, my wife knows."

"Well." Mrs. Yao felt a lot better when she saw Qin Yining being so respectful. She thought about the chaos in the house and said, "Ms. Qin, you are the daughter-in-law of the Pang family. Although our palace has taken in a member of your natal family. Everyone, let’s stay here. But if something happens, it’s unlucky after all. Wouldn’t it be bad if we set up a mourning shed in front of us?”

Qin Yining raised his head sharply and looked directly at Yao with cold eyes: "What do you mean, madam?"

Looking directly at Qin Yining like this, Yao could hardly help but look away. But then I thought about it, this is the palace, her son is the prince, and the son just takes in the Yue family to live for a while. Why does the Qin family still think that they are the masters of the palace, and the funeral must be held in her palace? What is this? rule?

When Yao thought about it this way, he felt more confident.

"Ms. Qin, you are a smart child. Don't you really understand what I mean? This is the palace, not your Qin family after all. Something happened to your father, and everyone is very sad. I am also very sorry, but your father After all, it’s not easy to place your mourning hall in the palace, right?

"You should be considerate and considerate. I am also a mother. My son is guarding the south and I don't know what is going on. I am also afraid that some bad luck will affect my son. You are also a mother. You should be able to understand. Bar."

Qin Yining smiled and said, "I understand what the old lady means. In your eyes, I am always a member of the Qin family and an outsider."

"No way, don't misrepresent what I mean. You are you, and your home is your home. How can we compare it to each other? If you marry Dafu, you are the daughter-in-law of the Pang family. This will not change. "

"But you are not the Pang family's wife. What qualifications do you have to make decisions for the Pang family?"

Yao's expression suddenly changed and he said quickly: "What did you say!"

"Old madam, you are also a smart person. Don't you really understand what I mean?" Qin Yining returned Yao's words to her intact, and continued, "I want to make it clear that the Qin family does not have a house. , it’s not like I had nowhere to go before I asked the prince to take him in. Why did the prince and I discuss letting the two families live together before we went out? Has the old lady forgotten?

"The situation in the court is so tense. Your Majesty is afraid that something might happen temporarily, such as an assassination or a fire, or that your enemies suddenly come to your door. You and the old lady will stay in the palace with a group of servants. I am afraid that you will be eaten alive." !That’s why the prince begged my father to stay and take charge.

"If it weren't for my father observing the court situation and protecting the family from the wind and rain, do you think you and the old man could live happily eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and gossiping about people behind their backs?"

"You, which family's rule is this! The Taoist people say you are a savage. I think you are simply presumptuous and you are not worthy of being the wife of my Pang family!"

"Whether I am worthy or not, it is not your turn to speak. As I said before, as long as you get a letter from the prince and ask him to give me a divorce note, I will leave immediately."

Qin Yining's nerves were stretched to the extreme, and she was on the verge of collapse. She could tolerate Yao's unreasonable troubles before when she was calm, but now she can't bear it anymore.

"Send to the clouds."

"My slave is here."

"Go to the shopkeeper Zhong to sort out the house I bought. Also, go ahead and tell my second uncle and third uncle that the Qin family will move soon and the mourning hall will not be set up for the time being. It won't be too late to set it up again when we get to the new home."

"Yes." Ji Yun responded loudly, his sharp eyes piercing Yao's eyes like a knife, and he turned around and walked out.

"Bingtang." Qin Yining still looked at Yao.

"My slave is here." Bingtang took a step forward.

"Go and see how the old lady is doing. If she's suitable to move, come back to me later."

"My slave, let's go now." Bingtang nodded, passed Yao family and went to the inner house, muttering in a low voice: "Bah, we are still relatives, I have never seen such a selfish person, and the old man is forced to leave when he is sick!"

Yao suddenly turned around and glared at Bingtang: "When you come back, who will let you talk nonsense!"

Bingtang walked quickly, ignoring Yao Shi at all.

Mrs. Yao pointed angrily at Qin Yining again, "You vicious wife, this is how you manage your servants and let them go against your mother-in-law!"

Qin Yining rubbed his sore temples.

Xianyun and Qiu Lu immediately came to support Qin Yining from left to right. Lian Xiaozhu took out a small flat porcelain box from his sleeve, dug out a small amount of ointment and applied it to Qin Yining's temples, and put it in his eyes. She said with tears: "Sister, let's go, don't suffer here."

Qin Yining touched Lian Xiaozhou's face, then turned to Xianyun and said, "Tell the elite tiger guards left behind by the prince to come see me."

Xianyun immediately nodded and went to do his errands.

Not long after, sixteen wiry men wearing various short jackets and servants gathered in front of Qin Yining, four in a row.

Six of them were with Qin Yining. There are also ten left by Pang Xiao near the palace.

Qin Yining pressed her eyebrows, then pointed out the six people who were following her, and said, "Please pack up and follow me later."

"Yes!" The six of them responded in unison.

Qin Yining turned to the ten people and said: "You ten people stay in the mansion. After our family moves out, I suggest you strictly guard the area around Chunhui Hall and divide the nursing staff into several groups. I will order someone to tell you later. If you have any questions about the location of your new home, you can come to me at any time.”

The ten people looked at each other, and then the leader raised his hands and said: "Princess, the prince's order is for me to protect the safety of the two families."
