Qin had been with her husband for over a decade. She had seen him fly into a rage, and she had seen him be unreasonable, but she had never seen him so angry yet still able to speak calmly. It seemed that he was really furious today. Had she and her daughter-in-law been wrong in how they were managing the child?
I was thinking of raising my granddaughter to be a lady from a noble family with both talent and beauty! Now it seems that the plan is difficult to carry out.
"Father, don't be angry. As long as you can calm down, I'll do anything you ask of me." Xiao Jingkang only wanted to dispel his father's anger. Through today's incident, he realized that the methods other families used to treat their children didn't apply to Ping An. Because Ping An couldn't tolerate punishment, and couldn't be angry, the only way to treat her was to carefully care for her and pamper her.
"I won't leave now. We will move out after we buy a house and Ping'an recovers. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. Don't tell Ping'an about this. Let's go! Do what you need to do. I will take care of Ping'an here. Let's go!" After saying these words, Lord Xiao walked into the inner room. His granddaughter had been sleeping for half the morning. She might wake up soon!
"Father-in-law, please go and rest. Let me take care of Ping An!" Tong Mingyu asked cautiously.
"Everyone, go back." Old Marquis Xiao doesn't trust anyone these days. If his son had said this, he would have definitely retorted, "I don't trust you."
Qin brought her son and daughters-in-law back to Ninghe Hall. After everyone sat down, they were silent for a while. After a long while, Qin sighed and said, "Fortunately, Ping'an is a sensible child. If the eldest daughter-in-law has free time, she can teach her the rules that girls should learn. She is weak, so don't mention punishment in the future."
The key is that her husband is there to stop her, and she can't get angry, hit, or scold the child. She has no idea where to punish her even if she wants to. And after what happened today, she will really become the spoiled girl of the Xiao family in the future.
"It's all my fault. I failed to discipline my daughter well, and let you and father-in-law still cheat on me at such an old age." Tong Mingyu blamed herself very much.
"Actually, if you think about it, Ping An made the bet with the Northern Jin prince only when she was absolutely certain. Take the questions she posed, for example. Is there anyone here who can answer them? She was so determined to help her family get rid of Luo Yan as soon as possible, but in the end, she was scolded and confined. No wonder the child was so depressed that she became ill.
I heard from Ruyi that Ping'an had secretly cried more than once because of this matter, and had even complained about why he was not a man. If he were a man, he would not have been punished.
Although Ping'an is a bit naughty and mischievous, she is well-behaved and well-mannered in front of outsiders. All of our families have wanted to marry Ping'an off as a grandson's wife, but they just haven't found a suitable candidate.
Yuan Yutong had been holding it in for days, but she hadn't said anything because her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were determined to discipline her niece, and as an aunt, she couldn't argue with them. Today, taking advantage of Ping'an's illness and her father-in-law's anger, she finally let it all out, spilling the beans.
"I agree with what my sister-in-law said. Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's talk about the day when the prince of Northern Jin came to cause trouble. If Ping An hadn't found a way to get out, would Luo Yan have let it go? Although we are the loyal and brave marquises of Tianyu, will the people of Northern Jin care? Who can guarantee that the emperor will not change his mind for the sake of reconciliation between Tianyu and Northern Jin?
Now that he's lost, and with the Princess and Prince Huaiyang as witnesses, he'll definitely be too embarrassed to bother our family and Ping'an again. In my opinion, not only is Ping'an not at fault, he should be rewarded." Li Jiaoying also tried her best to defend her niece.
"You can't give me any reward no matter what." It was already good enough that she wasn't punished. If she was rewarded again, Tong Mingyu couldn't imagine what even more outrageous thing her daughter would do next time.
Although the words of the two sisters-in-law sounded reasonable, Tong Mingyu, as a mother, of course had to think further and more. She couldn't just think about the present, she had to plan more for her daughter's future.
"The most important thing right now is that Dad is going to run away with Ping An. What should we do about this?" Xiao Jingkang looked at his mother and wife helplessly and said, "Can you please get to the point? The old man is about to move away, and you're still here discussing Ping An's right and wrong." That's why women tend to get off topic when it comes to a critical moment. I really don't dare to hold too high a hope for them.
"I heard that our old man is angry again, right?" Xiao Jingyan walked into Ninghe Hall with a leisurely square step, waving a folding fan with exquisite patterns in his hand. Now he finally discovered the biggest advantage of marrying a princess, that is, she doesn't have to live at home. When his father gets angry, he no longer has to worry about being singled out. He can just watch the fire from the other side and be a spectator.
"Everything started because of you, and you still have the nerve to say that." Xiao Jingtai hated his brother's carefree look the most. In the final analysis, the Ping An incident was to blame on his fourth brother. If he hadn't provoked the princess of Northern Jin, none of the things that happened later would have happened.
"Brother, I am also a victim!" Xiao Jingyan tried to clear himself.
"Silang..." Is this because he is unwilling to marry her, or does he regret marrying her? Princess Xiyue's face looked a little ugly, and she called Xiao Jingyan with her hands holding her heart like Xishi.
"Okay, fortunately the incident is over. I hope the Prince of Northern Jin can keep his promise and never cause trouble for the Xiao family again." Xiao Jingkang murmured.
It's hard to say. Xiyue secretly stuck out her tongue. She never dared to tell her husband or the Xiao family what Luo Yan said before he left. She didn't want to be abandoned so soon after getting married, even though that wouldn't do anything good for Xiao Jingyan. But she had a premonition that if the Xiao family knew her cousin's plan, she would definitely become the most unwelcome person in their family.
Not to mention that her relationship with her husband would be affected, she would also be isolated in front of her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, so she didn't dare to say it, let alone say it.
"Then let him stay out for a few days. First ask them if it's okay for the two of them to live in the villa. If your father really doesn't agree, just buy a house. At worst, you can just sell it after a while." Knowing that she couldn't stop her husband, Qin could only compromise.
"How can this be? We can't let our father move out." Xiao Jingtai objected.
"Can you stop him?" It was clear that the old man was determined to make trouble this time. How could he not fulfill his wish? The only person in the family who could possibly persuade him was still ill. Who else could persuade him? Qin Shi felt that she didn't have the ability, so she compromised.
"I also want to live with my grandfather and his family." Xiao Yuan pleaded weakly at her fingers. Her grandfather was not at home and her sister was leaving too, so why should she still live at home? In the heart of the second young lady, her parents were far less attractive to her than her grandfather and sister.
"Don't you think your home is a mess enough? Sometimes I really don't understand. There are six boys in our family, and Arui is the only one who is naughty. The rest are quite well-behaved. There are only two little girls in total, but each one is more difficult to deal with than the other. Tell me, when something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with them!" Xiao Jingmin shook his head and sighed.
"Because he has a strong backer. If we dare to do what Ping'an did, grandfather would have punished us according to the family rules. What else can we do if we don't behave?" Xiao Rui seemed to be explaining to his father, but also seemed to be complaining. In short, he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction.
"Well, how about inviting father-in-law and Ping'an to stay at the princess's residence for a few days." Princess Xiyue felt that she was very smart. She could actually come up with such an idea that not only helped her in-laws, but also gave her a chance to get close to the little beauty. It was like killing two birds with one stone!
As soon as she said this, Xiao Jingyan, feeling embarrassed and looking up at the sky, all shook their heads. There was no reason for the family to send Xiao Yao into a dangerous situation when they had already sacrificed Xiao Jingyan.
"We appreciate the princess's kindness. The father-in-law probably wants to find a quiet place to live for a few days. There are many people and rules in the princess's mansion. He may not be able to adapt to it." Tong Mingyu wanted to find a reason that everyone could accept to refuse the princess. Now that they have become a family, of course, living in harmony is the most important thing.
"The princess's mansion is very quiet. I won't let the servants disturb the eunuch and Ping An." Princess Xiyue still eagerly hopes that the little beauty can live under the same roof with her.
Looking at his lustful wife, Xiao Jingyan, he really wanted to knock her awake with a stick. She couldn't even say no. How had she been able to run rampant in the Northern Jin palace and the prince's mansion for so many years without any hindrance? Prince Huaiyang looked like he was being tormented by his sister. Could it be that because the men in Northern Jin were not handsome enough, and Northern Jin couldn't even find a beautiful woman, she even spared an eight-year-old child.
"I have a house in the south of the city. I'll have someone clean it up for my father-in-law to live in peace. Brother and sister-in-law, don't get angry or embarrassed about this matter. My father-in-law will naturally come back when Alang gets married. By then, her anger will probably have subsided. If everyone persuades her a little more, everything will be fine." Yuan Yutong suggested.
Until there is a better way, this is the only way. Xiao Jingkang and Xiao Jingtai went out to arrange for the old man to run away from home. As they walked, they couldn't help laughing. They had never heard of any son who would help his father run away from home. What kind of thing is this!
When Yun Yichen returned to the palace, Prince Jing also came back.
"Is the Xiao family okay? How is Ping An?" Yin Qianhua was worried about Xiao Yao. The mother and daughter had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
My family is really good. Three of them have already been captured by my future daughters-in-law. This is not bad. At least I don’t have to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or between sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the future.
"I'll be back as soon as I arrange for the imperial physician." Yun Yichen said calmly.
"Has Ping'an woken up yet? Why don't you wait until she gets better before coming back?" Yin Qianhua blamed her son for not being careful enough.
"The old man is very angry, I won't wait to be scolded!" The imperial physician has already said that the little girl is fine, so why should I stay? The old man's excitement is not so good-looking.
Do you think you are not stupid enough? King Jing couldn't help but complain in his heart. He used the royal token for Miss Xiao and called away three imperial doctors at once. The emperor was so scared that he hurriedly summoned him. He thought something had happened to Ruonan!
The most important thing is that you have done so much for the girl but she seems to have no idea whether it is good or not. You are nothing but a fool.
