Chapter 178 Qin Xingyuan Kneels Down to Apologize to His Wife
"Yes, yes, we've chosen it. We'll call it Xiao Hei," Qin Wanying replied earnestly.
The crown prince burst out laughing.
A pure white horse named Xiao Hei?
What were you thinking?!
"Why is he called Xiao Hei?" The Crown Prince looked at Qin Wanying, his eyes curving like crescent moons. The moonlight shone on his handsome face, giving him a soft glow.
"This contrast makes it look cuter," Qin Wanying said with a sweet smile.
"Isn't that right, Xiao Hei?" Qin Wanying said, stroking Xiao Hei's head.
Xiao Hei let out a low hiss, as if to say that its master was right.
The crown prince was surprised.
This horse even seems to understand human nature.
Such a fine horse, capable of understanding human speech, is truly rare.
The two chatted and laughed all the way back to their residence.
-----------------
Hou House.
After dinner, Yang Xiurong felt disappointed; her daughter had just returned and was gone again.
However, my daughter said that His Highness allowed her to come back for lunch every day, and thinking of this made me feel much better.
Cai Yuanling returned to her room with a cold expression.
Seeing that Cai Yuanling was in a bad mood, Qin Xingyuan also felt guilty and followed her back.
Qin Xiaoyan and Qin Rufeng took a walk together in the courtyard.
As I passed by my elder brother and sister-in-law's room, I noticed a small crack in the window. I could peek inside; the window opened downwards.
Qin Xiaoyan recalled his younger sister's thoughts during dinner. He really wanted to know how his sister-in-law would scold his older brother. He was so curious!
Since we'd already come this far, we pulled Qin Rufeng to stop and take a look.
Qin Rufeng lowered his voice, his face showing difficulty: "Eavesdropping and peeping outside the window is not the behavior of a gentleman."
Qin Xiaoyan's eyes darted around: "What if you happen to walk to the window and accidentally see it?"
Qin Rufeng blushed: "It's not that it's impossible."
Being young at heart, the two squatted down to watch.
At this moment, Qin Yunzhu, who had come out to get medicine, saw her two younger brothers acting suspiciously and asked, "What are you two doing?"
The two were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Upon seeing that it was Qin Yunzhu, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking inside the room, the eldest sister-in-law didn't react; she was just sitting on the edge of the bed, looking very angry. She probably hadn't heard the fourth brother's voice.
Qin Xiaoyan quickly put her index finger to her lips and shushed Qin Yunzhu.
Qin Yunzhu knew what they were looking at. It must be the younger sister's inner thoughts being revealed. They wanted to see what the older brother and sister-in-law would say.
He muttered under his breath, "Boring."
He wanted to leave, but then he heard the door close inside. It seemed his older brother had gone home. Suddenly, he couldn't move.
Come here.
The three boys squatted together outside the window, peering through the cracks to see what was happening inside.
The eldest sister-in-law sat on the bed with a stern face, while the eldest brother walked in with a guilty look on his face, moving very quietly, as if he would be punished if he moved too much.
When Qin Xingyuan came in, Cai Yuanling acted as if she didn't see him, not even raising her eyes.
Qin Xingyuan walked silently to Cai Yuanling and knelt down.
The three people outside the window all stared wide-eyed.
They knew their eldest brother was afraid of his wife, but they never imagined he was this afraid.
Judging from his practiced movements, it seems like this isn't the first time he's knelt down.
"My lady, I know I was wrong." Qin Xingyuan's heart ached terribly when he saw Cai Yuanling's distressed appearance.
She knew that Cai Yuanling had never been favored by her father since childhood, and the family had just been embroiled in the affair involving a mistress. She wanted to give Cai Yuanling more love, but her younger sister's true feelings were revealed, which angered the madam again.
Before Cai Yuanling could even ask him what he had done wrong, Qin Xingyuan started rambling on and on.
"Madam, my mistakes are mainly in the following aspects."
“First, I had feelings for Ni Xinyan before. At that time, although I hadn’t met Madam, I am now Madam’s husband, and I should only love Madam for the rest of my life.”
"I was blind before and liked other women, but she was just a fleeting memory. Before I met you, Madam, I didn't understand love at all. All my previous feelings were just for fun."
"Secondly, after I met you, you asked me if I had ever liked any other women before, and I said no. I was wrong; I was afraid you would overthink things, so I kept it from you. I have absolutely never hidden anything from you; this is the only thing."
Qin Xingyuan sighed silently in his heart.
He only had a secret crush on her, and no one knew. If his little sister's feelings hadn't been revealed, no one would have ever known in this lifetime.
He knew that Cai Yuanling lacked a sense of security and didn't dare to tell her that he had liked someone else.
It seems that I can't hide anything from Yuan Ling anymore.
“I promise that I will be completely honest with you from now on and will never hide anything from you again. Especially regarding matters related to Ni Xinyan, if I run into her, I will report to you even if I haven’t said a word to her.”
"Also, the reason I sent Ni Xinyan back to the manor today was because Ni Xinyan only had a maid with her, and they didn't have any water. So I asked Alin to give her some water to drink. After she recovered, I called a carriage for them. I didn't go with the carriage and didn't say a word to Ni Xinyan from beginning to end. I only talked to the maid."
"If Madam does not believe me, she can call Ah Lin over for questioning. If there is any discrepancy between what he said and what he said, Madam may punish me."
Cai Yuanling didn't say anything, but Qin Xingyuan said so much in one breath. Cai Yuanling tried to interrupt several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The pupils of the three boys crouching outside the window widened in shock.
Is that guy kneeling on the ground, chattering incessantly, and seemingly a bit gossipy, their eldest brother?
Is it the eldest brother who is usually very serious and uses family rules to punish them?
Whoever you are, get off Big Brother!
Qin Xingyuan looked up at Cai Yuanling, his face full of grievance and his eyes full of expectation.
Cai Yuanling couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this.
Fortunately, her husband has a mouth.
Whenever there's a misunderstanding, my husband will patiently explain, and he never resorts to passive-aggressive behavior.
When Qin Xingyuan saw that his wife was smiling, he knew that everything was alright.
But Cai Yuanling still deliberately put on a stern face.
"You shouldn't have lied to me before; you should have been honest with me."
Qin Xingyuan's mouth was flat, like a child who had done something wrong.
He knelt on the ground, hugged Cai Yuanling's legs, and rubbed his face against her knees, saying, "Madam, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
Cai Yuanling couldn't stand his attitude the most.
Suppressing a smile, she said, "Get up quickly."
Upon hearing that his wife had told him to get up, Qin Xingyuan was immediately overjoyed. He stood up and began to attentively massage his wife's shoulders and back.
The three people outside the window were already on edge. Qin Yunzhu's expression was relatively normal, but the other two had mouths big enough to fit eggs.
This was the first time they had seen their older brother acting so cheeky.
So this is what the eldest brother is like when he's talking to his sister-in-law in private!
Qin Rufeng gradually composed himself.
He was still thinking about the explanation his older brother had given to his sister-in-law.
He's getting married soon, he should learn from this.
He used to scoff at it, but now he analyzes it word by word.
Seeing that the two people inside had reconciled, the three of them got up to leave.
As she was leaving, Qin Xiaoyan accidentally bumped into the window with a thud.
Qin Xingyuan and Cai Yuanling's gazes shifted towards the window.
