The lights in the house are bright, the delicate marquee lamp hangs under the dust, the pattern of the eight immortals crossing the sea is vivid, and the bright and vivid character pictures are slowly turning, sprinkling a faint halo at Cao Yuqing's feet, so that she can't help but stop and look at it for a moment.

This is the main hall of Xingning Garden, and it is the place where Qin Huaiyuan stays for the longest time except for the study in the outer courtyard.

And still with another woman.

Cao Yuqing lowered her long eyelashes, and passed through the floor cover to the side in half an hour.

Qin Huaiyuan and Sun sat on the Ruyi carved Arhat bed near the window, Qin Huaiyuan ate tea leisurely, Sun wore a green jade bracelet and played with the fried pumpkin seeds on the plate, and the jade on the snow-white wrist made a slight collision sound with the low table.

Qin Yining could see Sun's displeasure, patted her shoulder soothingly, and then stood beside Sun, admiring the beauty generously.

The light green plain gown outlines Cao Yuqing's well-proportioned figure, the long crow blue hair is pulled into a fallen horse bun and fixed with a gold-inlaid jade butterfly step, the lotus step is light between walking, the skirt is charming, the waist is styled, the ear bell is swaying, the lips are smiling, and the eyes are affectionate, and the flowers are as bright and moving as the water.

She is said to be thirty years old.

But the years seem to treat her very favorably, and they have not left any morning frost, just for the temperament of a mature woman she has precipitated, her prosperous appearance and full of tenderness, Qin Yining believes that few men can escape the tenderness of such a beauty.

Objectively speaking, Cao Yuqing looks like Qin Yining's sister, and the middle-aged Sun and Cao Yuqing look like a mother.

Sun naturally realized this, and his hand clenched the carved armrest of the Luohan bed, repeatedly telling himself to be calm, to have a city, and to endure in a timely manner that he could no longer continue to indulge his emotions, so he warned himself several times before he calmed down.

Cao Yuqing bowed down: "The concubine has seen the Hou Ye and the lady." I heard that Mrs. was not feeling well and was recuperating outside, and the concubine was very worried these days, but now that she can see that Mrs. is fine, the concubine can also rest easy. ”

Raising his hand without smiling people, with Qin Huaiyuan in charge, and Cao Yuqing's etiquette and speech and demeanor are not wrong, Sun can only pull out a smile that can be considered gentle.

"Aunt Cao has a heart. Mother Jin, take a seat, pick oranges, and serve tea. ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Cao Yuqing saluted again, and then was helped to stand up by the servant girl who served her closely.

"Aunt Cao, please take a seat." Mother Jin brought the embroidery pier and spread a soft and thick light blue brocade mattress on it.

Cao Yuqing smiled and thanked Jin's mother.

She was born with a charming and natural ability, and her eyes were crooked when she laughed, so that Mother Jin was almost in a trance.

Qin Yining subconsciously looked at Qin Huaiyuan's face, but saw that Qin Huaiyuan was only holding a tea bowl and sipping, lowering his eyes to observe the ups and downs of a little tender green leaf in the tea soup, it seemed that there was no such a magnificent beauty in front of him.

Qin Yining couldn't help but admire his father's character and determination.

But she also became more and more confused.

Qin Huaiyuan used to have a concubine's room, and he didn't go to the concubine's room to spend the night. But why didn't Qin Huaiyuan care about this great beauty who could be justifiably owned?

Cao Yuqing and the Demon Queen are both capable of captivating the city's appearance, although Qin Yining doesn't think that Qin Huaiyuan will not love the country and love beauties like the faint monarch, but there is no reason not to eat the meat sent to his mouth.

But everyone knows that Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing don't have a round house at all, Qin Huaiyuan just eats and lives well to raise Cao Yuqing, giving her the greatest convenience in this welfare life, but refuses to touch her a finger.

Is it just because Cao Yuqing's father is Cao Guozhang?

While Qin Yining was pondering, Cao Yuqing had already chatted with the Sun family for a few words, and then explained his intentions.

"A few days ago, the concubine made a wish in Xianguguan, asking Doumu Yuanjun to bless the master and the fourth lady to return safely, and everything went well. Now that all the difficulties have been solved, the concubine is thinking that Ming'er will go to Xianguguan to repay her wishes, and by the way, she will bring the people in the house to fight for a few more days of peace and Jiao, and the concubine wants to come and ask Mrs., are you going with the fourth lady? ”

When Sun heard this, he almost responded in one bite.

She hadn't seen her mother and sister-in-law for more than a month. I don't know if the ladies of the Dingguo Mansion are still used to living in Xiangu.

It's just that Sun suddenly remembered that he was "sick", and if he immediately went to the Immortal Gu Temple, wouldn't it make Qin Huaiyuan see at a glance that he was pretending to be sick and playing tricks on the old lady?

Although Qin Huaiyuan has forgiven Qin Yining, it is because Sister Yi'er is too cute, and she is Qin Huaiyuan's biological daughter, which is so similar to Qin Huaiyuan when he was young. Qin Huaiyuan had high hopes for Qin Yining, and he had shared weal and butter in peace talks, so he could naturally forgive anything for his flesh and blood.

Sun, on the other hand, is different. Is she a wife, or a wife who has nothing to do, in front of the beautiful concubine, there is no chance of winning in the family world, if she can't win with virtue, how can she give Qin Huaiyuan a reason to protect her?

It was Sun who weakly held his forehead and said, "Aunt Cao really has a heart." It's just that although I have the heart to go together, but my body is not comfortable, I am afraid that if the car and horse fatigue relapse, I will have to go out of the house to avoid the disease, why don't I take a trip for me? The last sentence was said by looking at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining looked at Sun in distress.

The mother was able to change her personality in a short period of time, which is equivalent to suffering a lot of disasters before she grew up. In the eyes of others, Sun is a person in his forties who is still domineering. But in Qin Yining's eyes, she was just too well protected.

Qin Yining was happy about Sun's change, but he also felt sorry for the reason for Sun's change.

"Okay." Qin Yining said softly: "Mother rest assured, my daughter will definitely go to Haosheng to kowtow to Doumu Yuanjun, and ask Doumu Yuanjun to bless our whole family with peace and security." ”

Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining with a smile, "It's still the fourth lady who has a heart." ”

Qin Yining remembered that Qin Huining was still Cao Yuqing's daughter-in-law, she didn't want to deal with these people now, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to suppress her temper, in case she hit Qin Huining outside, Qin Huining's nose was blue and her face was swollen, and she was quite tired of beating people.

"Then tomorrow I will go with my aunt, after all, the fairy Gu view is a pure place, let's drive lightly, and don't take anyone else." Qin Yining got straight to the point, not asking, but stating.

Cao Yuqing understood in the blink of an eye that Qin Yining was talking about Qin Huining, and hurriedly nodded: "What the fourth young lady said is that the concubine also means this." ”

stood up and curtsied: "Since this is the case, the concubine will not bother the Hou Ye and Mrs. much, and see you tomorrow morning." ”

Qin Yining also returned the half-salute: "Then according to what my aunt said, see you tomorrow." ”

"The concubine is retired."

Cao Yuqing slowly retreated.

Before going out, he looked at Qin Huaiyuan, and saw that he was still drinking tea, and he didn't even look at her, Cao Yuqing felt a tingling in his heart.

Qin Yining saw that his parents were silent, and he thought that he shouldn't stay any longer, so he also said goodbye and returned to Shuorenzhai.

Seeing Qiu Lu and the others, it was naturally a good feeling, and after bathing, Qin Yining lay on the bed with the soft and fluffy Erbai in his arms, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, after dinner, I went to say hello to the old lady, and Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing took a few guards out of the door.
