Chapter 40: Cutting off the wings
"What did the four girls say?" Mama Qin smiled, saluted Qin Yining respectfully, and then pulled the people who followed her.
"The old lady has the girl in her heart, I heard that the old man ordered that the people around you were not allowed to follow to the ancestral hall, so he specially ordered the old slave to bring two people over, this is the Ge family, this is Xiaoling, and she has been serving the girl here for a few days."
The Ge family and Xiaoling both saluted respectfully.
Qin Yining smiled and said to Mama Qin: "It's hard for the old lady to remember me." ”
"Where did the fourth girl say, the old lady is your own grandmother, where is the reason not to remember you?" Mama Qin turned around and instructed the Ge family and Xiaoling to take someone to take care of the side room where Qin Yining had lived for the past two days, and said, "I ordered them to bring the food box these days, and the girl just had to rest assured." ”
"With the old lady and Mama Qin taking care of me, where am I still uneasy? It's quiet here, so I can concentrate on my studies. ”
Seeing that Qin Yining's expression was as usual, and there was no resentment about being punished, Mama Qin only felt that she was acting quite magnificently, and she was really the same as Qin Huai back then.
Mama Qin carefully instructed the Ge family and Xiaoling to serve well, and instructed the rough envoy mother-in-law who watched the door, "Don't just care about the doorkeeper and don't ask the girl to go out, even if you do a good errand, it is important to serve the girl well, even if the girl is ordered by the Xiangye to endorse, it is still the top of the Xiangye!" ”
The rough mother-in-law was already solemn when she saw Mama Qin coming here, but now she is even more like an initiation: "You can rest assured!" ”
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, and there were no mistakes or omissions, Mama Qin saluted Qin Yining, "The old slave still has to go back to serve the old lady, it's not early, the girl should rest early." ”
Qin Yining hurriedly returned the salute and said gratefully: "Thank you Mama Qin for this trip." ”
"It's all the duty of a slave."
……
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Qin Yining politely sent the person to the door of the ancestral hall, and then returned to his own room.
Mama Qin returned to Cixiao Garden and went straight into the main house to check the night arrangement.
In the warm pavilion, Qin Huining knelt on the chaise longue by the window and stretched out a small slit in the window to look out, and was looking clearly.
"The old lady is really kind, and it is not ordinary to treat her own granddaughter." Slowly closing the window, Qin Huining walked to the inner room with a sneer on his face.
Cai's mother said: "The girl doesn't have to take it to heart, the old lady has to make a show after all, she still has to have a reputation for virtue, after all, such a big thing, how many pairs of eyes up and down look at it." ”
Qin Huining sneered: "Even the nurse knows how many people watch the matter of wild hooves, but why don't the old lady and my father know about it!" dared to go to the palace to see a foreign man without permission, she really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall! Generate that foxy look, who knows what dirty things she has done! ”
"Since she came back, she has pressed me and beaten me, the old lady is not severely punished, and if she makes a mistake, she is only punished for endorsement! Even my grandmother gave her Zhaoyunsi, and she hasn't seen anything given to me after raising me for fourteen years! ”
"Now the whole family is partial to her, if she doesn't take advantage of the fact that she is locked up now, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity!" Qin Huining's eyes were gloomy.
"Girl, now that the master is angry, do you want to wait for the time being?" Cai's mother was a little worried.
"Wait, wait, when am I going to wait? Will you just let that wild hoof trample me under my feet? Qin Huining choked up, tears falling from her eyes, "The nurse knows my suffering best, and the humiliation I have suffered in the past few days is more than what I have suffered in my whole life, how can you tell me to wait!" ”
Seeing Qin Huining's appearance like this, Cai's mother felt a pain in her heart, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and then said: "Girl rest assured, in fact, it is easy to deal with her, she is now locked up in the ancestral hall, we can't move her, and cut off her wings so that she has no one available." ”
Qin Huining's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Nurse has a way?" ”
Cai's mother nodded and said, "Isn't it easy?" The girl thought, she just returned home, there are no cronies around her, if we cut off her most powerful person, she can't even protect the people around her, who else will dare to do her best in the future? In such a big house, if there is no support from her confidants, I think her life will be over. ”
"What the nurse said is very true. Without the right-hand people around her, she can't make waves. Won't it be up to us to handle it in the future? Qin Huining leaned coquettishly on Cai's mother's side and sighed: "Thanks to you by my side, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." ”
Cai's mother was also very moved, and said: "The girl is a slave and a maid, and if the slave and maid are not dedicated to the girl, who will be dedicated to them?" ”
Thinking of Jin's mother's matter, Cai's mother took the opportunity to say: "Just as I am dedicated to you, my aunt is also dedicated to the eldest lady, she does everything she is told, and the girl please don't blame her." ”
Qin Huining naturally knew Cai's mother's worries, Mother Jin's old pious woman changed her face too quickly, but why wasn't it because of the change in Sun's attitude?
Qin Huining had resentment in her heart, blaming Cai's mother for not taking care of her aunt's affairs, but it was difficult to say it, so she only comforted Cai's mother with a smile, and then carefully considered how to do it.
**
The days of punishment and endorsement in the ancestral hall, Qin Yining had a good time.
First of all, the food and lodging here did not treat her badly.
Secondly, she has a knack for forgetting.
Not to mention the thin "Female Commandments" and "Internal Training", it is easy for her to memorize all the four female books.
The only bad thing is that the outside world is not well-informed.
It was only after listening to the low chatter between the Ge family and Xiaoling that the Sun family returned to their parents' house that they had returned to their parents' home.
She felt that Sun's way of doing things was not good, and she went back to her parents' house with great fanfare as soon as she quarreled, only she had seen her twice in the past few days when she went home, and she didn't say that her mother-in-law's family was disgusted, that is, her mother's family was tired of her.
The Sun family completely relied on his own background and wantonly squandered the benefits accumulated by the Duke of Dingguo to Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Yining felt that he could be regarded as having a good background, and if he really got married in the future, he should take it as a warning, and he must not be as annoying as the Sun family.
I don't know what happened to Sydney Temple now.
However, my father instructed the maids in Sydney Courtyard to think about it behind closed doors, thinking that it was also a kind of protection, and if you don't see anyone, there will naturally be no danger.
Another three days passed for such a peaceful day, during which Qin Jianing performed a ceremony, and the marriage with the second master of Jian'an Bofu was also put on the agenda.
This news was still only known from listening to the Ge family's conversation with Xiaoling.
Today is the seventh day that Qin Yining has been locked up in the ancestral hall.
Qin Yining had just finished breakfast, and was taking the hot tea brought by Xiaoling to rinse his mouth, when he suddenly heard a sharp shout in front of the courtyard gate:
"Fourth Miss! Save Ruilan! ”
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she recognized that it was Qiu Lu's voice, and hurriedly rushed out.
Didn't the people in Sydney think about it behind closed doors?
How could something happen!?
"Four girls! Slow down, stumble carefully! The Ge family and Xiaoling also hurriedly chased out.
As soon as he pushed open the courtyard door of the ancestral hall, Qin Yining was seeing two stout grandmothers holding Qiu Lu on the left and right, Qiu Lu was already with scattered sideburns, and her face was full of tears.
Seeing Qin Yining, Qiu Lu was just about to speak, but she was covered by the rough grandmother, her eyes were red in a hurry, and she couldn't stop screaming "woo", and her tears fell even more fiercely.
Qiu Lu must have risked his life to come to report the news!
"Stop."
Qin Yining shook off the Ge family and Xiaoling, stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the wrist of the stout mother-in-law and used it hard, and immediately made the mother-in-law hurt, "Mom!" A loud scream.
The two stout mothers-in-law no longer dared to pull Qiu Lu.
"Qiu Lu, what's going on? What's going on at home? What do you say happened to Ruilan? ”
"Girl, Bitong next to Miss Huining came last night and called Sister Ruilan out, Sister Ruilan didn't go at first, but Bitong didn't know what she said, and finally she had to follow, but Sister Ruilan didn't come back overnight."
"Early this morning, there was news from the old lady, saying that Cixiaoyuan caught a thief and wanted to steal the old lady's things, but was caught by the people around Miss Huining, saying that the thief was Ruilan, the old lady was furious, and ordered Sister Ruilan to be beaten forty boards, and after the beating, she was thrown out of the house!"
"Girl, Sister Ruilan must have been wronged, forty boards will be fatal!"
"Sister Ruilan still has an old mother and younger siblings at home, if she has a case, their family will be over! Ask the girl to save her! ”
Qiu Lu is kind-hearted and sincere, and she doesn't know how to avoid people, so she cries and cries and says everything.
The stout mother-in-law on the side, the Ge family, and Xiaoling heard it, and they already had a guess in their hearts.
Qin Yining also knew in her heart that it must be Qin Huining who took advantage of her absence in Sydney Courtyard to take her subordinates as a pawn, not only to get rid of her right-hand man, but also to make the old lady feel that her upper beam is not correct Ruilan's lower beam will be crooked.
If Ruilan was really taken down by Qin Huining, her efforts a while ago would be in vain!
The people around her can't protect her, how can she control it in the future? It was so easy for her to have a confidant, so will she have to go it alone in the future?
No way! Ruilan must be saved!
Although Qin Yining was grounded and recognizing, he was anxious about the emergency in his heart, so he couldn't care about it so much, and he was about to leave.
At this moment, a voice came from the mouth of the alley: "Girl stay." ”
Qin Yining looked at it in a blink of an eye, and the person who came was Mama Qin, and she didn't know how long she had been here or how much she had heard.
"Mama Qin." Qin Yining suppressed her anxiety and turned to greet Mama Qin politely.
Mama Qin saluted and said solemnly: "Girl, don't forget, your grounding here was personally ordered by Xiangye, and you can't leave the ancestral hall without passing Xiangye's examination." Besides, if you go, how can you save people if you have a red mouth and white teeth? Over there, the Ruilan girl stole the old lady's jade bracelet, but the evidence was conclusive, and the stolen goods were obtained. ”
When Qin Yining heard this, he only felt that a scoop of cold water was poured on his head.
Without evidence, how can she save people?
