Chapter Forty-Nine: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
The carriage slowly stopped at the side door of the Qin Mansion, and Sun looked out through the gap in the curtain, his expression a little stiff.
Qin Yining observed Sun's demeanor and knew that Sun must have felt that he had taken the initiative to come back and lose his dignity.
If you know today, why bother in the first place?
It's no wonder that the Duchess of Dingguo is so angry, the Sun family is this age, and she is still acting so casually, she has been able to sit firmly in the position of the prime minister's wife for so many years, and the mother-in-law and the concubine get along quite well, which is really lucky.
But Rao is like this, and Qin Yining will not sit idly by and watch the affairs of the Sun family.
"Don't be angry, ma'am. The daughter already knew it was wrong. Qin Yining deliberately distorted Sun's embarrassment and twisting into anger, and said with a smile: "I will definitely explain to the old lady later, Mrs. came back to teach her daughter, and the old lady will definitely be relieved when she knows it, and she will no longer worry about teaching her daughter." ”
Sun was stunned when he heard this, but did not immediately reflect it.
Mother Jin, who was serving on the side, laughed, and her senses for Qin Yining in her heart had been greatly reversed, how much she doubted Qin Yining in the past, and how much respect she had now.
"Madam, look at it, the fourth lady really has a heart, don't be angry about this matter. Besides, it's all a family, you have been married to the master for so many years, where can you have a hurdle that you can't over? Men love face, and you will pass by taking a little concession. ”
"Why do you want me to give in?" Sun muttered quietly, but he didn't get angry.
Qin Yining saw through Sun's thoughts, thought about it and hinted: "Madam is not angry, let's go into the mansion, okay?" This time, I went to see the old lady and replied, you might as well go back to Xingning Garden to repair, after all, you haven't been at home for so many days. ”
Sun was really in good spirits when she heard this, and she wanted to go back to see which aunt's house Qin Huai was in when she was not at home for a few days.
"Let's go, go home!" No longer hesitating, Sun instructed the maid who followed the car to knock on the door.
Seeing this, Mother Jin smiled and nodded to Qin Yining, and Qin Yining also smiled back gently.
The carriage entered the mansion, and Sun and Qin Yining changed the oil-walled carriage for transportation before they got off in front of the second gate.
When I entered the Cixiao Garden, I saw the big girl Ruyi talking to the little girl.
Qin Yining smiled first and said, "Sister Ruyi is busy." ”
If the person who came was Qin Yining, he smiled three points on his face, and then saw that Mother Jin, Cai Tang and Cai Lan were waiting for the Sun family to come back, and immediately smiled and saluted: "The eldest lady, the fourth lady Wan'an, the old lady is idle this time, you two please come in quickly." As he spoke, he led the way.
The maids under the porch had already passed into the house, and the two maidservants lifted the warm curtains, and Jixiang and Mama Qin came out.
Qin Yining helped Sun into the house and untied their cloaks, and Mama Qin and Jixiang immediately took it with a smile.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Qin Yining saw Bitong.
Bitong's eyes didn't dare to face Qin Yining, and when she saw Qin Yining looking over, she hurriedly lowered her head, and her body couldn't help shrinking.
Qin Yining didn't see it, and helped Sun to bypass the black lacquer carving "happy eyebrows" interstitial screen to the back room.
The furnishings in the house have changed again, the original cold-colored chairs, tablecloths and pillows have now been replaced with scarlet, and the new flowers in the vase have also been selected red.
The old lady wore a blue brocade coat embroidered with large cranes and clouds, and sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed near the window and smoked dry cigarettes.
Qin Huining was holding a delicate sputum box on the side and waiting to knock the ashes, and when she saw Qin Yining and the Sun family coming back together, she was really a little surprised on her face.
Qin Yining's gaze swept over Qin Huining, who was full of astonishment, helped Sun to kneel, and saluted the old lady in a dignified manner.
Sun endured the embarrassment and said, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law is back." ”
The old lady took a puff of his cigarette pouch and snorted coldly, leaving only the Sun family with a pair of white eyes.
Sun's face turned red for a moment, even the roots of her ears and neck were red, she gritted her teeth, and endured humiliation: "A few days ago, my daughter-in-law was too impulsive, and I hope the old lady won't mind." ”
"Mind?" The old lady casually knocked the cigarette ash into the sputum box, and the brass cigarette pouch and the ceramic bumped into each other with a loud sound.
"If I minded, would I have been angry with you all these years. Sun, you said that in the Qin family all these years, have I, as a mother-in-law, ever been angry with you? Or is there something in my Qin family that doesn't live for you? What are you dissatisfied with, just three days and two ends of the trouble? You say, "Is my son worthy of you?" Or are you looking at me as an old woman? ”
Sun gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The old lady said again: "You have been in the door for so many years, and you have not given birth to a boy for Meng Ge'er, you say, have I ever blamed you for anything?" You had nothing to do that day, and you poked my heart every word, how do you want my old woman to be good? ”
The old lady threw away the cigarette pouch aggrievedly, Qin Huining immediately caught it, carefully extinguished it, and took a handkerchief to serve the old lady to wipe his hands.
The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Huining, and said: "You said, you won't teach your children yourself these years, Sister Hui'er, I will carefully raise it under my nose, you won't get along with your concubine, how many good things did I say to you in front of the second and third daughters-in-law behind my back?" You can't see any of this, even if others treat you well, you take it for granted? ”
"Meng Ge'er is also the emperor of the imperial court, you are a woman, you can't share your husband's worries, not only do you repeatedly find trouble, but also quarrel with him face to face, where have you learned from the three virtues and the four virtues? Could this be the tutor of your Dingguo Mansion? ”
Sun cried aggrievedly, thinking only one question in his heart: Do you want to endure it? Or go back to your parents' house now! No more looking at the faces of these people!
The old lady counted down, and her heart was much happier, and when she saw that Sun was crying, she hummed: "What, are you still wronged?" ”
"Old lady." Qin Yining saw that the old lady had also been trained, and Caesar's anger was also sprinkled, so he saluted and said: "You must be angry, this time it is all mine, and Mrs. is also a godson, and Mrs. has often discussed with her grandmother the experience of teaching her children in the Dingguo Mansion these days, isn't this a hurry back when she understands it, and begs the old lady to take care of the harmony of the family, so don't be angry." ”
The old lady's impression of Qin Yining now is no longer the one when she first returned home, because Qin Huaiyuan raised Qin Yining as a son, and the old lady also paid more attention to Qin Yining.
The old lady knows that the Sun family has such a tough backer as the Dingguo Mansion, and he can't do anything to her, since he still wants to continue to accept her in the future, it's not good to talk too much.
Thinking of this, the old lady said: "That's it, this matter is over, and I won't take it as an example." ”
"Yes. Thank you, old lady. Sun saluted the old lady and was really relieved.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness." ”
"That's it, you girl knows that your mouth is sweet." The old lady smiled lovingly.
Qin Huining, who was on the side, looked at Qin Yining and persuaded the old lady in a few words, originally there was still a little hope, but now his hope is completely shattered.
It seems that the old lady really recognizes Qin Yining, and likes it to the extent that he obeys his words, and there is no room for regret.
How will she live her life in the future?
Qin Huining bit her lip anxiously, and then stepped forward to support Sun's arm: "Mother, how are you doing these days?" There are some things in the house, and my daughter can't take a break from it, so she can't go to see you all the time. ”
Sun had been circling in his heart what the Duchess of Dingguo had said, and when he looked at Qin Huining at this time, his eyes became much more complicated.
"What, what's the matter?"
Qin Huining glanced at the old lady, then at Qin Yining, and smiled reluctantly, as if she had to save others if she had to swallow her own bitterness, she only said, "It's nothing." ”
First said that there was something, and when Sun asked, he said that it was nothing.
This is obviously a trick, in order to arouse Sun's interest.
As long as the Sun family is interested, they will naturally check it, and no matter how the Sun family investigates, the rumors outside are not good for Qin Yining. Sun is not at home these days, and the unbearable rumors outside will reduce Sun's good impression of her.
Qin Yining saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything, just smiled as usual.
Sun was really curious. But because the old lady was in front of him, he didn't ask in person, he just wanted to go out and ask Qin Huining later.
Qin Huining was a little annoyed when he saw that Sun didn't answer as usual, and then asked, "Why did Mother come with Sister Yining?" Did you run into it on the road? ”
Another trap!
Qin Yining just wanted to interject, but Sun Shi had already taken the first step and said heartlessly: "It was Sister Yi'er who went to the Guogong Mansion to kowtow and admit her mistake, and I came back." ”
The old lady frowned when she heard this.
Qin Huining caught the old lady's expression, felt proud, and nodded quietly on her face: "I see." In the end, it was convenient for Yining's sister to go out, so she said she would leave. Alluding to Qin Yining, he didn't talk back to the old lady at all when he went out.
Qin Huining wanted to take advantage of this matter to accuse Qin Yining in front of the old lady and now he can go out if he can say it.
But Qin Yining knew that this sentence would definitely cause the old lady's dissatisfaction with the Sun family.
The old lady really sank her face and said, "Sister Yi'er went to kowtow and admit your mistake before you came back?" Why, if Sister Ruoyi doesn't invite you, you won't come back? ”
"I ......" Sun Shi was stunned, and immediately shook his head and said: "Don't misunderstand, old lady, it's just a coincidence, even if Sister Yi doesn't go, I will come back." ”
The old lady was too lazy to listen to Sun's words, and waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go!" You go and rest, you don't bother to come to see me, an old woman, and you can avoid it in the future. ”
Sun's face turned white, and then he looked at Qin Huining angrily.
The resentment and suspicion that had accumulated for many days exploded at this moment.
Sun's face was calm, and it took a lot of effort to not shout in front of the old lady, gritting his teeth and saying, "Since this is the case, the daughter-in-law will retire." Sister Hui, Sister Yi, you all come with me. I've also brought something for you. ”
Then turn around and leave.
Qin Huining's face turned white, and he followed apprehensively.
Qin Yining shook his head helplessly, saluted the old lady, and then followed out.
