Return of the Swallow

Shopkeeper Liu was extremely depressed. Seeing Mu Jinghu and Pang Xiao exchanging polite greetings, he felt unspeakably miserable. What would Mu Jinghu think if he knew that the person he was arresting was him.

Pang Xiao ordered people to tie up shopkeeper Liu firmly, and planned to take him all the way back to the old capital for further interrogation.

Looking back at Tianjizi, a sparkle flashed in Pang Xiaofeng's eyes, "Let's make repairs today and set off back to the old capital tomorrow."

Tianjizi could only nod depressedly.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Xiao led the team to set off, and Mu Jing Lake and Tian Jizi naturally walked together. As for the case in Bo'an Town, that is no longer Pang Xiao's business.

Pang Xiao was afraid that Qin Yining would miss him, so he ordered his people to rush back to deliver the letter.

At this time, Qin Yining was anxiously and happily rushing to the Qin Mansion. Because of the short distance, Qin Yining didn't need anyone to prepare the car and went out at a trot.

Bingtang was panting as she ran: "Princess, please slow down and watch your steps carefully!"

Qin Yining refused to listen and pushed Bingtang and Qiulu far away. Only Ji Yun could keep up.

When they arrived in front of the Qin Mansion, the doorman had already received the order. He saluted with a smile and spoke like a pearl: "Greetings to the princess, the Qin family's wife came with two young masters. They are in Cixiaoyuan right now. The eldest lady gave the instructions to the young masters. Stay here, and when the princess comes, just go to Cixiao Garden."

"I know." Qin Yining kept walking and ran towards Cixiao Garden after entering the door.

Ji Yun watched carefully and felt very sad seeing Qin Yining so anxious.

The two young masters left for more than five months, and now they are one year and eight months old in the blink of an eye. Children of this age can talk and be called mother, but neither the prince nor the princess has been called a word.

The princess's life was very difficult.

"Princess, please be patient. Please stop and take a rest. We will soon arrive at Cixiao Garden. Let's walk there slowly."

Qin Yining was panting slightly, but after listening to Ji Yun's advice, he stopped running but walked quickly.

All the way to Cixiao Garden, we passed through the hall and walked quickly along the bluestone brick road towards the main house.

The maid standing in front of the door immediately replied inside: "Grandma Fourth Aunt is back.

"

A maid lifted up the dark green door curtain with blooming longevity flowers from inside.

Qin Yining rushed straight through the door, walked around the hollow carved magpie screen, and suddenly stopped.

The old lady and Mrs. Zheng were sitting on the Arhat bed next to the window, one on the left and the other on the right. They both stretched out their legs to block the two children inside.

The two children wore exactly the same little red damask coat. The stronger one was crawling around, while the thinner one was quietly playing with the nine-ring chain.

Qin Yining stood there blankly, looking at the two children almost greedily.

The stronger one is brother Han, who has been lively since he was a child.

The quiet one is brother Zhao Geer. He is born thinner than his younger brother and has a more well-behaved temperament.

In the past, it was not visible when they were babies, but now that the children have grown a bit, you can see that except for their eyes, their entire outline looks like an owl. Brother Zhao is more well-behaved, and the little red mole between his eyebrows makes him more handsome, like a beautiful little girl. Brother Han is a very naughty boy.

Seeing Qin Yining come in, staring blankly at the child but not approaching, everyone in the room laughed.

Zheng smiled and said, "Sister Yi, come here quickly."

Qin Yining's nervous hands were sweating. He walked over stiffly, bowed to everyone first, and then looked at Zheng anxiously.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and stretched out her hand, and fished out Brother Han who was crawling around and making "ssssssssss" sounds.

Brother Han, who was interrupted, said dissatisfiedly: "Great-grandmother, what are you doing!"

The child's voice was adorable, his words were clear, and he was confident. A pair of flexible almond-shaped eyes turned and landed on Qin Yining's face, and he let out a sweet "Eh" in his voice.

Qin Yining took an eager step forward.

Brother Han buried his face in Zheng's arms and looked at Qin Yining secretly.

Qin Yining's heart was almost broken, her eyes were hot, and she almost shed tears.

However, Brother Zhao threw away the nine-ring chain, stood up with his hands on the Arhat bed, took two steps on the bed with his short legs, and tilted his head to look at Qin Yining curiously.

Qin Yining clenched her sleeves nervously.

Brother Zhao's eyes shone brightly, he pursed his lips and asked seriously: "Mother?"

Qin Yining nodded repeatedly, holding back tears and said with a smile: "Yes, I am my mother. How did Brother Zhao recognize my mother?"

"Brother Zhao, look at the painting." Brother Zhao said seriously.

Zheng explained: "I specially asked your second cousin to draw a portrait of you for the children to recognize."

"Grandma... thank you very much." Qin Yining's tears finally couldn't be held back and fell down.

As if they were surprised that adults would shed tears, Brother Zhao and Brother Han were both a little stunned.

Brother Zhao stretched out his hands: "Don't cry."

Brother Han also got out of Zheng's arms, and said neatly, as if comparing himself with his elder brother: "Mother, don't cry, mother eats sweets." After saying this, he touched Zheng's arms, obviously not interested in the candy. Very familiar somewhere.

Qin Yining choked with sobs and strode forward, stretched out his arms, and hugged both children into his arms.

She was finally relieved of her worries for a long time. Although her child was no longer familiar with her, he still knew how to call her mother!

Qin Yining looked at Mrs. Zheng gratefully: "Grandma, thank you very much. If it weren't for your good teaching, the children wouldn't recognize me."

Seeing such a scene in front of them, the old lady, Mrs. Sun and the second lady could not help but feel sad and shed tears.

Brother Zhao and Brother Han smelled Qin Yining's scent and seemed to find it familiar. They didn't resist at all and even got into Qin Yining's arms.

Brother Han was even more curious and grabbed Qin Yining's long hair: "Mom, did you buy a lot of snacks for Brother Han?"

Zheng said: "I taught these two little guys to call me mother. Brother Zhao is okay and has a better temper, but brother Han is a little naughty ghost who chases me all day long asking about where my mother is. I told them, you go to the capital to do business and come back to bring them snacks."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded understandingly, "Of course I brought snacks, but the snacks are too sweet, so Brother Zhao and Brother Han can only eat less. Otherwise, bugs will bite their teeth."

Brother Han was a little dissatisfied, "Brother Han can eat it, but the insects won't bite."

Brother Zhao, on the other hand, said succinctly and to the point: "Insect bites."

Brother Han said to his brother dissatisfied: "If the insects don't bite you, you can eat and have snacks."

"Bite. Great-grandmother." The older brother, who was more clumsy in speaking, anxiously turned around and asked Zheng for help.

Zheng smiled and touched Brother Zhao's head, "Brother Zhao is right."

The two children were seriously discussing whether the bug would bite or not, which made Qin Yining's heart melt. She wished she could conjure up a mountain of snacks immediately, otherwise it would not be able to make up for the fourteen months she had been absent. It's just that Zheng taught her children very well, and as a mother, she couldn't break the rules.

When Mrs. Sun saw them, she smiled and said: "These two little clever little ones are very smart. They can call you mother, great-grandmother, and grandmother. I think these children are very smart after you and the prince."

The old lady was getting older. Even if she didn't like Qin Yining, she liked the two soft, white and tender dumplings very much. At this time, she said gratefully: "Thanks to the good teachings of my mother-in-law. It's been a hard life these days. ."

"Everything we talk about is from our own family, so there's no need to talk about hard work." Mrs. Zheng smiled and gave up her position to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining stopped being polite and sat sideways on the edge of Arhat's bed, holding the two children in his arms and talking in a low voice.

Brother Zhao: "Mom, it smells good."

Brother Han: "Mom, you are more beautiful than a painting!"

Brother Zhao agreed: "It looks good."

Brother Han hugged Qin Yining and smeared saliva on her face: "Mother, kiss."

Qin Yining hugged the children and kissed them like this and that. She felt that there was nothing more satisfying in the world than this.

The old lady ordered her two daughters-in-law to prepare food, and Mrs. Sun and the second lady took the order and left.

Zheng smiled and asked Qin Yining: "Sister Yi, are you planning to bring your two brothers back to the palace?"

Qin Yining hesitated for a moment and said: "I want to take them back, but they are always with you. I'm afraid they won't be used to being taken away for a while. How about I stay at home for a few days to get familiar with the children?"

"That's fine." Madam Zheng said, "Stay here for a few days and let the old lady and your mother and children get to know each other. Then I'll accompany you back to the palace, and I'll go back after they're safe."

"Thank you, grandma." Qin Yining was grateful.

Mrs. Zheng took good care of her two children. In the middle of summer, the children had neither prickly heat nor mosquito bites, and they were all so lovely. This was all due to Mrs. Zheng.

The family had a sumptuous dinner.

During the dinner, Qin Yining held the hands of Brother Zhao and Brother Han and led them to call people one by one.

Brother Zhao is smart and quiet, and has an excellent memory. He can remember what he has been taught once, and the same goes for everyone he has met. It’s just that he doesn’t speak as sharply as his younger brother. His immature voice often speaks very short words, but his demeanor is different. very serious.

Brother Han, on the other hand, is smooth-talking and naughty. He would urinate when he sees an ant hole. However, when he is naughty, his big eyes flexibly turn around and he is so cute that no one can bear to blame him.

With these two treasures, the haze hanging over the Qin family has dissipated.

Maybe it's the nature of mother and child. By night, Qin Yining was already very familiar with the two children. She took care of the children herself without relying on other people's hands. She bathed the children, changed their clothes, wiped their hair, and then carried them into the Bisha cupboard. He lay down and fanned them gently with a cattail leaf fan.

The children seemed to be very excited to see Qin Yining. They refused to sleep even in the middle of the night. The monkeys played on Qin Yining's body. Brother Han especially liked to hold Qin Yining's neck and talk.

Until midnight, when the children were tired from playing, Qin Yining covered them with a small quilt and gently fanned them to sleep.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Bingtang and Jiyun were relieved and left Qiulu to spend the night while the others went to have a rest.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Qin Yining took the children to dinner and was about to teach them how to read when Xianyun came in quickly and said, "Princess, the old lady, the old lady and the old lady of the palace are here together." Jintang Guiyan
