Return of the Swallow

The second master and the third master thought about Qin Huaiyuan's care and promotion of them over the years, and then thought that people had lost their lives for the court, but the sage had such an attitude that they couldn't help but cry with a headache.

When someone came to the palace, the two masters cried in the room, naturally alarming the servants who were guarding outside the hall.However, no one dared to say a word, they only kept their doubts in their hearts.

In the inner house, the old lady, the second wife and others are still ignorant of external affairs, and they are discussing with the second wife and mistress Han about what to do with the marriage of the eighth lady and Qin Huining.They chose the day in the summer, and it's not two months since then.

There were people in the palace, they knew it. Seeing that the second master and third master hadn't come back for a while, the old lady was a little worried, so he ordered people to go ahead and inquire.

But for a long time, the second master and the third master came back with the girl with red and swollen eyes.

Seeing the two of them like this, the old lady was stunned.

"What, what's the matter? Is there bad news from the palace? Isn't there something wrong with Sister Yi?"

Qin Yining was ordered to enter the palace for so long, and when someone came to the palace, the eyes of the two sons were swollen. The old lady naturally thought whether something happened to Qin Yining.

The second wife, second grandma Han, eighth miss, Qin Huining and others couldn't help but look at the second and third masters, all of them a little anxious.

The two brothers have already discussed it, can we hide the old lady from the funeral at home?We will let them know this sooner or later.

The two knelt down with a plop.

"Mother...you, don't get excited after you hear it, don't be sad, my elder brother... has an accident in the north."

"What? What happened to Brother Meng?" The old lady's eyes widened.

"Big brother..." Seeing the appearance of the old lady, the second master really couldn't say it.

The old lady leaned forward and almost fell down on the soft couch. The second wife and Madam Qin hurriedly supported her from left to right.

The third master saw that the second master was speechless, so he could only speak with difficulty: "For the father-in-law next to the saint, the eldest brother was ordered to treat the army, and he was already very close to the military camp outside the Tianyuguan, but encountered The bandits, the army’s food, grass, gold and silver were all robbed, the eldest brother has no bones left."

"What!" the second lady exclaimed.

Everyone was stunned, and even forgot to cry.

The old lady's eyes straightened, and it took a long time before she made a hoarse voice: "You mean, Brother Meng, is dead?"

"Mother, pay attention to your body."

"Aren't you coaxing me?"

"Mother, don't be sad, brother is really...",

"Ah!!!" The old lady did not wait for the second master to finish speaking, and suddenly let out a miserable howl, "My son, my son! My Meng brother! What do you do if you call your mother? What to do! God, you don’t have eyes!"

The old lady roared hoarse, her eyes were red, but she couldn't shed tears. She stared, and her eyes were almost out of her eyes. The infinite heartache and resentment made everyone burst into tears.

The cry of the old lady reached the corridor, and all the maidservants knew what had happened. Thinking of Qin Huaiyuan's goodness, they couldn't help crying.

The old lady beat her chest and screamed indiscriminately. No one understood what she was calling, but the grief of a mother losing her child made everyone feel the same.

"Brother Meng!" With the last scream, the old lady lost consciousness when she rolled her eyes.

"Old Madam!"

"mother!"

A room was messed up with people, among the pinch people, the doctor hurriedly sought the doctor, and the entire palace courtyard was in chaos.

The news soon reached Yao Chenggu and Yao's ears.

"How could this happen, well, how could this person say that it's gone?" Yao asked the maid in astonishment, "Do you really listen to it? Could it be me?"

"The slave and maid really heard it. It was said that someone walked outside the Tianyu Pass and was killed by the bandits, the army's belongings were robbed, and the entire body of Master Qin was not left. The old lady of the Qin family has passed away. Now, the side courtyard has turned into a pot of porridge."

Yao waved his hand, waved away the servant girl, and asked Yao Chenggu, who was smoking his cigarette holder: "Father, what shall we do about this meeting? Is this the in-laws' father-in-law's death on duty? Shall we go and see?"

Yao Chenggu hesitated and said, "Didn't you hear that, he is not doing errands, he lost everything, and he also lost his life."

"Then let's not go, lest we get in trouble."

"No. I still have to go." Yao Chenggu knocked his pipe along the kang. "You think, after all, we live under the same roof. Even if we don't go, we are still a family in the eyes of outsiders. Besides, if you are in-laws, you will inevitably make the people underneath talk.

"But..." Yao said, biting his lip, "You said that the palace was lent to the Qin family for temporary residence, but in the end this is the palace. It doesn't matter if the father-in-law is dead. If we put the mourning hall in our house, it would be bad luck. Qin is not at home either. If we are at home, we will also discuss with her and ask her to set up the mourning hall outside, so as not to cause bad luck to our family."

"Come on, something just happened. Didn't we just wait for someone to pierce the backbone?" Yao Chenggu stood up, shaking the soot on his robe, and instructed Yao, "You go and change your clothes, wear simpler clothes, let's go together ."

"Ai."

The Yao responded quickly and walked outside, putting on a sapphire blue suit, and putting on silver jewelry, and went to the courtyard where the Qin family lived with Yao Chenggu.

The second master and the third master led Qin Han and Qin Yu in front of them. They were discussing setting up a spiritual shed. When they saw the two of them, they were very polite.

Yao Chenggu comforted a few words, and glanced at Yao inadvertently.

Yao immediately understood the meaning, touched the corner of his eye with a veil, and said, "After such things happen, Dafu can't come back in the south. You can't ask him to leave his job without permission, but why should sister Yi give it first? Just take it out of the palace. For such a big thing, the father-in-law is only such a girl, and she can't be there anymore, and her biological daughter is not around yet."

The second master and the third master nodded in agreement.

It is not easy for their family to support each other until today. Although the mother is partial and the eldest brother’s achievements are higher than them, in the hearts of their brothers, the gratitude and admiration for the eldest brother is no less.To be fair, Qin Huaiyuan's eldest brother is interesting enough for their brothers.

The third master wiped his tears with his sleeves, "In-laws said yes. Our brothers will do it after discussing it."

Both Yao and Yao Chenggu nodded.

Yao first went to the inner house to see the situation of the old lady.

Yao Chenggu also walked aside, leaving room for the second master and third master to speak.

The third master said: "The mother in-law said that it is a serious matter to take the opportunity to let Sister Yi go out of the palace. After such a long time, I don't know what the palace is going to do. Moreover, the situation in the court is complicated now. The prince may know more inside stories than us, and sister Yi Yi can also negotiate at home, so as not to get confused."

The second master also nodded.

In the past, no matter what happened to the Qin family, the whole family negotiated to tide over the difficulties. Although he was an uncle, he had to admit that Qin Yining had far more political vision than himself.With Qin Yining at home, at least the whole family will not touch the mold.

After the two agreed, the second master tried a way to hand the sign to the palace.

Qin Yining welcomed the queen the next day.

"Sister Qin, take your time." The queen's eyes were full of sympathy. "The saint said, your family has such a big thing, it is not good to keep you with Concubine Shun, you can go out of the palace anytime."

Qin Yining didn't sleep all night, and there was a clear circle of blue and black. He smiled tiredly at the queen and said, "Thank you, Niang Niang."

"Your voice...what happened to your throat?"

Qin Yining's voice was extremely hoarse, almost silent.

Qin Yining smiled and shook his head.

The queen sighed pityingly: "I'm embarrassed. Hurry up and tidy up. If you have any needs, please tell me."

The corners of her lips twitched stiffly, and Qin Yining reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "The lady's goodwill ministers understand, thank you for your care these days. If it weren't for you, my two maids still don't know what will happen."

The queen smiled, "To tell the truth, my palace is also investigating the truth, and it's not all for you."

"The wife is fortunate for the minister's wife to be able to do things fairly."

This sentence is suspected of accusing Li Qitian of unfairness.But Qin Yining was telling the truth.When the queen faced Qin Yining, she even felt like her husband did such a nasty thing, and she felt hot on his face.

But these words can only be thought in my heart, Qin Yining also trusts her, so he will say it.

After bidding farewell to the queen, Qin Yining immediately asked Jiyun and Bingtang to bring the package that had been arranged long ago, and called a palace man to lead the way out of the palace.

After staying in the palace for more than two months, she has experienced so much from the early spring to the near summer, and the suffering she has endured is nothing. What she can't accept is that Qin Huaiyuan has passed away.

As long as he thinks about this, Qin Yining's tears can't help but fall, and he can't shed tears casually in the palace, so as not to add bad luck to the noble.

After leaving the palace, the carriage at home has been waiting for a long time.

The one who came to pick her up was a familiar young man, dressed in a plain gray coat with a white filial piety belt around his waist. When he saw Qin Yining, he bowed and said, "Princess, the young man is here to pick you up."

The white on Xiao Si's waist was too dazzling, Qin Yining closed her eyes, and her dry, red and swollen eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

The three got into the carriage, and the young man drove the carriage quickly with a whip.Back in front of the mansion all the way, Qin Yining lifted the curtains in the car and looked at it, and his eyes were stinged by the white.

After getting off the carriage, he rushed into the mansion regardless of his concern. There were white flags hanging on the small roads along the way, and all the people he saw were dressed in filial piety.

The main hall was in chaos, and the mourning hall had not yet been erected. Qin Huaiyuan was in his prime of life, unlike the old lady who had long been thinking about setting the board.When the incident happened suddenly, the family was completely unprepared, and Qin Huaiyuan had no bones left. Even if the coffin was placed, he could only put the clothes that Qin Huaiyuan usually wore.
