Chapter 441

Chapter 441

They suddenly realized that today was different from the past when Qin Zhun was still in charge of the Marquis fu, as he had always leaned towards the second prince.

However, now that Qin Zening had inherited the title of Marquis and since he was the sixth prince's cousin, this blood connection destined Qin Zening to choose the side of the sixth prince. Moreover, it was clear who the emperor favored, just as everyone knew why the emperor left the sixth prince to supervise the country.

They all could see that the second prince had lost the emperor's favor in just a few months!

Besides, the second prince was about to marry a young miss from the Tang family as his consort, and the Qin family did not even have a formal relationship with the second prince.

With these thoughts, the Qin family could only choose one of the second prince and the sixth prince, and a person who was like a grass on the wall* was the most unreliable.

(*metaphor for a person who is good at changing his position according to the situation)

The clan head grasped the chair's armrest tightly as his eyes flashed.

Previously, Qin Zhun had chosen the second prince, but he was now exiled.

The clan head actually knew that the reason why Qin Zhun moved money from the Changying treasury was mostly to finance the second prince...Qin Zhun was deprived of his title, confiscated his properties, and was exiled because of the second prince, but what did the second prince do?!

Qin Zhun's fate could be a lesson learned from the past, meanwhile, given the relationship between the sixth prince and Qin Zening, these siblings could not abandon the sixth prince and support the second prince.

The eyes of the clan head became increasingly determined as if everything was brought to light.

For the Qin family, there was no choice but to choose the sixth prince.

The clan elder with a long beard wanted to say something else but was stopped by the clan head with an eye signal. The clan head then said resolutely, "A'ning, what you said is true."

"Qin Xin is not an upright person and her parents not only mixed the children of the Qin family with theirs but also committed murder. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked*, and since Qin Xin is also suspected of killing the old marquis and attempting to kill the old madam, she should be exterminated from the clan."

(*subordinates imitate their superiors)

The clan head was the cousin of the late marquis, and he had been highly respected as the clan leader for many years, gaining considerable prestige. Thus, when he said this, other clan elders followed suit with his lead.

Qin Zening glanced at Qin Jiu with a smile and said immediately. "Uncle, everything should go as it should..."

Anyway, since the clan head and elders were already here, they should do it today.

As for Qin Xin, it did not matter whether she was there or not. Originally, women had no say in the clan affairs.

Thus, they opened the ancestral hall that day and removed Qin Xin's name from the Qin family's genealogy, and had the chief steward personally go to Jingzhao to file the record.

Subsequently, Qin Zening sent another steward to the Second Prince's mansion and informed Qin Xin.

When Qin Xin learned about this news, she was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Jing had gone to the winter hunting with the coachman so she could only hurriedly ride the carriage alone to the Marquis mansion.

Qin Xin was both flustered, confused, and afraid. Along the way, her body could not help, but tremble uncontrollably.

She knows her situation, and she was already in a very difficult situation. She must always be on guard against Gu Jing from killing the mother and keeping the child, and now the Qin family wants to add to her worries? Once Gu Jing returns and learns about this, what would his reaction be?!

Just thinking about it made Qin Xin feel a chill all over her body, as she said to herself that she had to see Old Madam Qin.
