Chapter 404

Qin Zening resolutely said, “I’ll take a leave of absence to go out tomorrow.”

He could not let his grandfather die in an unexplained manner, he had to give him justice no matter what!

Old Madam Qin responded with a tired expression on her face.

No matter how much she loves Qin Xin, it was impossible for it to surpass the late marquis, let alone Qin Xin has let her down too much.

Qin Jiu pulled down Qin Zeyu’s sleeve under the stone table, and followed his sister’s gaze looking at the tired Old Madam Qin and immediately understood, he hurriedly advised. “Grandma, don’t think too much, leave everything to big brother. Your body hasn’t completely recovered yet, the imperial physician said you need to rest more and spend less energy.”

Old Madam Qin looked at Qin Zeyu’s concerned face, and was very grateful. Sighing, she said to herself: A’yu has grown up in just less than a year!

“Grandma will take care of her body.” Old Madam Qin squeezes out a smile. “You go pick osmanthus flowers and grandma will go back to rest first.”

Old Madam Qin left with the support of Cui momo.

It was not until Old Madam Qin walked away that Qin Zeyu could not help, but ask. “Is it really second…Qin Xin?”

The one who answered him was Qin Jiu, “Possibly.”

Compared to Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu, Qin Jiu has a “god’s perspective”. She remembered that in the novel, when Qin Xin’s first life was mentioned, it was said that she was discovered by the old marquis at the age of six. Therefore, she and the original owner were returned to their respective places, and she was also exiled to Lingnan along with her birth father and mother.

However, in this life, the late marquis died the year after Qin Xin was returned to the Qin family.

Qin Jiu had long forgotten the plot of the novel; it was only when Old Madam Qin mentioned that she suddenly remembered these details.

This matter was extremely frightening upon careful consideration.

However, after so many years, it would be harder to find the evidence now.

Qin Zeyu: “….”

He tightened his lips, fell into silence, and was unable to resist thinking about what Qin Xin had said to him over the years.

After being watched attentively by Qin Jiu for a long time, and experiencing many things, Qin Zeyu began to grow up with strong love and responsibility. Not letting him play every day, and not letting him do whatever he wants, not indulging him…

He once read an article in “Fengsu Tongyi” which contained a paragraph that says: According to the chief official, the horse is fat, the viewer is fast, the claimant is pleased with his words, and he gallops to his death.

Those who were praised, were those who had been harmed.

At that time, he suddenly realized what praise killing was.

It turned out that Qin Xin and his second aunt had been praising killing him in the past and were trying to turn him into waste.

If not for his third sister coming back, if not for his third sister waking him up, what would he be like now? He’s afraid he’d still be parading his horse around and getting drunk every day…

Qin Zeyu was moved as he looked at Qin Jiu, the latter raised her head from the teacup and as if she knew what he was thinking, she said seriously. “A’yu, since you already cleaned up the courtyard, you will need to study properly tomorrow. Have you revised your homework a few days ago?”

Qin Zeyu: “….”

Qin Zeyu felt that his emotions was floating in the sky.

After Qin Jiu got the answer from Qin Zeyu’s silence, she turned her head to Qin Zening. “Brother, A’yu has neglected his studies for several days now, so you to test his homework well at night.”

“I don’t know where I put my ruler after we move back, many things were missing …… Du Ruo, ask someone to buy me another one.”

Du Ruo said with a straight face, “Miss, this servant is keeping the ruler.”

Qin Zeyu: “…”

If the table in front of him was not a stone table, Qin Zeyu would have flipped it. How could they talk calmly about a scary topic like that!

Qin Zeyu did not pick the osmanthus flower after all, afraid of being punished he just went back to his yard to review his lesson, in a disheartened heart.

Qin Zening took leave that day and went out of the capital alone.

On the 12th day of the 9th month, Qin Zhun and Madam Su set off exile in Minzhou.

Old Madam Qin has been restless since last night, and Cui momo and the others know that she did not sleep well last night; they were worried that she could not part with her second son. They were even more afraid that she would hurt her mind and body as a result.

“Old Madam, do you want to go see Second Master?” Cui momo asked.

Before a prisoner was exiled, the government usually gives some time for the prisoner to say goodbye to his family. After all, this farewell may be forever.

Old Madam Qin rubbed her brows before shaking her head without hesitation and said. “I’m not going.”

Ning momo on the side wanted to speak up when Old Madam Qin added, “Ning’er, Jiu’er, and Yu’er, these children are busy doing things for this old lay, they pulled me back from the gates of hell and sought justice for me. They did their utmost best for me.”

“Wouldn’t I be breaking the children’s hearts if I went to see off my second son….”

Her words happened to reach Qin Jiu’s ears who were outside the curtain, but Qin Jiu footsteps did not stop. She opened the curtain and went in, thinking: after facing life and death, the old lady was much cuter.

“Grandma,” Qin Jiu smiled as she walked up to Old Madam Qin and curtsied, “Why don’t I go take a look?”

Old Madam: “?”

Even Cui Momo surprisingly looked at Qin Jiu.

Of course, Qin Jiu wasn’t going to bid farewell to Qin Zhun and Madam Su. Ever since she moved back, she has been free and has nothing to do, so she plans to go and watch the excitement.

Looking at her playful granddaughter, Old Madam Qin raised her eyebrows, seemed to have a few moments of hesitation, before finally sighing, “Jiu’er, you can go if you want to, but don’t let your second uncle’s good words soften your heart.”
