Chapter 446

Chapter 446

Qin Zening's younger sister and brother no longer have the protection of their grandfather and father, and as their elder brother, who was like a father, this was now his responsibility. He should not let his younger siblings worry about him because of a momentary impulse.

He also considered whether he would personally make a trip to Shuzhou, but Gu Zezhi said. "The most urgent thing right now is to expel Qin Xin from the clan as soon as possible, lest the scourge reach the Qin family."

After Qin Zening took over the title of Marquis, he was busy with other things both inside and outside, and for a while, he forgot that Qin Xin was still in the Qin family's genealogy.

Hearing this, he immediately took action.

Ever since he and Gu Zezhi went to Minzhou together, Qin Zening had somewhat more understanding of Gu Zezhi. This person takes one step and thinks a hundred steps ahead, and he would never propose exterminating Qin Xin from the clan without any reason.

After carefully thinking about Gu Zezhi's words, Qin Zening vaguely understood the implication that he had not explicitly talked. Qin Xin seemed to have stirred up some kind of crime that would plague the entire family.

A crime that would implicate the whole family must be more serious than her murdering his grandfather, so serious that it would be enough to leave Qin Xin to die without a burial place!

And he would watch Qin Xin take herself to death step-by-step with his own eyes.

Qin Zening's gaze became increasingly profound, like a sword tucked into a box, temporarily concealing his strength while bidding his time.

The three of them sat down while the maidservants in the room were busy. Some were tidying up the fallen Buddhist beads, some were refilling tea for their masters, and some were hurriedly making calming tea for Old Madam Qin.

After Old Madam Qin finished drinking the calming tea, she was coaxed by Qin Jiu to rest. She did not want Old Madam Qin to waste her energy on Qin Xin anymore; after all, she was old and had not only been poisoned recently but had also suffered from a series of events, and more of this, she could no longer withstand any more turmoil.

After Old Madam Qin rested, Qin Zening and Qin Jiu went to the front courtyard and had Qin Xin, who had come to the mansion again, led to the front courtyard hall.

"This is five thousand taels of silver notes, from the Datong Money Bank, you can check them!"

Qin Xin angrily pressed the silver note onto a square table, as if she wished to throw it in their faces.

When she got married, because she was a concubine, the imperial clan did not give much dowry silver, and some of the dowry she had was returned to the palace for her training. Later, the second prince told her to ask Qin Zhun for money, so she deliberately asked for more and secretly hid some silver.

Originally, she wanted to keep this silver and did not intend to use them, unless necessary, after all, there were too many variables in daily life. Even the second prince whom she thought would not change had become completely unrecognizable.

In the end, money was the only thing she could trust in the world.

Qin Jiu unceremoniously counted the silver bills with a denomination of one thousand taels, she then waved the notes in her hands and said. "The money is received and the bill is settled."
