Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining felt helpless when asked by Sun, "Mom, there are rumors about me outside, but I don't care about them. I don't even care about what the old lady tells people behind her back, but mother doesn't believe me either?"

"Why……"

Sun actually regretted asking the question. This incident was not Qin Yining's fault, and it was not her original intention to be robbed. No matter what happened in the process, she was still the one who was wronged. As a mother, she did not say anything about standing up for her daughter, but even questioned her in return. Daughter, this is really wrong.

"Sister Yi, don't think too much, I have no other intentions." Pulling Qin Yining into his arms, Sun patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, let's ask your father to find a solution when we go back. He has a very smart mind and can solve anything. Your father has already taken care of your matter, so it's okay."

Qin Yining couldn't help but smile and nod when he heard Sun's trust and admiration for Qin Huaiyuan, "I know. I'm not afraid."

She is indeed not afraid.

After what happened today, she was able to see Pang Xiao's sincerity towards her more clearly, and she also looked forward to the future even more.

In front of the Queen Mother and other noble female family members, Pang Xiao was able to confront the Lu family for her. When she was nervously thinking about how to reject Lu Heng, Pang Xiao had already solved the matter in a drastic way. If this is not sincerity, what else is sincerity?

But now that things have developed to this point, it has exceeded her previous expectations. It seems that she should go home and discuss the marriage with Pang Xiao with her father.

Although my daughter's family was a little embarrassed when she proposed marriage. But for a lifetime of happiness, Qin Yining didn't care about this anymore in front of his father.

After returning home, the old lady pulled the two of them down out of curiosity and asked them carefully about what they saw and heard at the Queen Mother's place.

Qin Yining and Sun only talked about the things that were innocuous, but they tacitly agreed not to mention anything about Pang Xiao flipping the table.

However, it was a great honor for them to be summoned by the Queen Mother. The old lady was still a little sour in her heart. After all, her son became an important minister of the court, but it was not her mother who was in the limelight. Instead, it was easier for the Sun family to go. .

Because Mrs. Sun kept today's events in mind, she did not confront the old lady for the first time. Instead, he was thinking about the consequences of what Pang Xiao did today.

After Qin Huaiyuan left the court, the family of three gathered in the bedroom.

Sun Shiping withdrew his servants.

Worriedly, he explained today's events to Qin Huaiyuan in detail.

"Master, our family, Sister Yi, is an innocent girl, but our reputation has been ruined by these reckless people. What the Queen Mother means is that she wants Sister Yi to be a step-in-law for someone named Lu. We don't even know about the person named Lu." He just looks like a dog, who knows if he will be sincere to Sister Yi?

"There is also Prince Zhongshun. He is too arrogant in his actions. He is also holding on to the hatred of what happened to you back then. With such a temper and the grudges of his father's generation, I don't think he is a good man."

After saying this, Mrs. Sun shed tears of sorrow. She took Qin Yining's hand and said, "How could my daughter have such a miserable life? Not to mention she has never enjoyed happiness since she was a child. She has lived a stable life for only a few days, and now she has to live in peace and happiness again." People are making irresponsible remarks outside! Looking at the looks of those people, I really wish I could tear their mouths apart!"

Qin Yining couldn't bear to see Mrs. Sun cry the most, so she quickly got up and hugged Ms. Sun to comfort her.

Qin Huaiyuan also took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Qin Yining, gesturing for her to wipe Sun's tears.

Qin Huaiyuan sighed and asked Qin Yining: "Sister Yi, tell your father the truth. Do you want to marry Pang Zhixi?"

--\u003e\u003e

Hearing this, Ms. Sun immediately sat up straight with excitement, "No! That reckless man has caused our daughter so much pain, and I don't agree with it!"

Qin Huaiyuan patted Mrs. Sun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Madam, please be patient. Let's listen to what my daughter has to say."

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Although our sister Yi is smart, she is still a girl who has not left the court. What can she know?" Mrs. Sun said eagerly, "It is at this time that we are needed. Parents should keep a check on their children to prevent her from going astray!"

"What Madam said is true." Qin Huaiyuan smiled reassuringly at Mrs. Sun. He first confirmed her thoughts and then said, "It's just that our daughter is different from ordinary simple-minded women. We must respect her wishes. .”

Sun's voice became louder, "You are harming her by loving her so much! What's so good about Pang Zhixi!"

"Don't yell, this is something you can't shout about." Qin Huaiyuan said in a good temper, "Our daughter's experience is different from those of the ladies, and her horizons are broader than them. She naturally has her own opinions on marriage. First. Second, we have not brought any blessings to our child since she was a child. She has suffered for so many years. Is she coming back to us just to be dominated by us? "

Mrs. Sun was speechless by Qin Huaiyuan's words, and couldn't find the words to respond for a long time.

Qin Huaiyuan then asked Qin Yining, "Sister Yi, tell yourself, do you want to marry Pang Zhixi? You don't have to consider too many factors. Don't think about anything in the court, just think about him. Is it worth entrusting you with your life?"

Qin Yining nodded slowly, "Father, I really won't marry him."

"Silly boy, you!" Tears welled up in Sun's eyes.

Qin Huaiyuan took Sun's hand and patted it, successfully stopping her from yelling, and turned to Qin Yining: "You don't plan to change?

"Actually, if you give your family to Lu Heng, your future will be more stable. The Lu family is a century-old family with intricate connections. Even the Holy Emperor is afraid of it. Lu Heng is also elegant and noble, and has no bad habits. Although marrying him is a job. Filling the house, but he has no legitimate son, and as his father observes, Lu Heng seems to be somewhat interested in you.

"If you marry Pang Zhixi, you will face more dangers and hardships. Although he has no military power, his prestige in the army has always been feared by the Holy Emperor. If you follow him, you will face future dangers and hardships with him. A test. You're going to have a hard time."

Qin Huaiyuan patiently analyzed the pros and cons, but still did not point fingers. He just looked at Qin Yining and waited for her to make her own choice. Qin Huaiyuan made it clear that no matter what she chose, he would support it unconditionally.

Qin Yining was so moved that his eyes became slightly wet, "Father, I understand everything you said."

But she still chose Pang Xiao.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, saying: "My father understands. Now, it's better to get your marriage done. Let my father do the rest. You can go and rest first."

Qin Yining looked at Sun, who was crying in tears, and at Qin Huaiyuan, who was busy coaxing Sun, and quietly retreated.

Qin Yining couldn't guess what Qin Huaiyuan would do.

But with her father's promise, she felt particularly at ease.

The news that Pang Xiao overturned the table in Ci'an Palace quickly spread throughout the government and the public.

Everyone is guessing what the Lu family will do.

At the court meeting the next day, Qin Huaiyuan, under the unexpected gaze of everyone, stepped forward and knelt down to worship, Cheng Shangshu, the Minister of War.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to make the decision for my only daughter!"
