Qin Zhun resisted the urge to curse and collected himself as he said to Gu Zezhi, “What does third master Gu think was wrong? The head of the family who inherited the title will be the only one whose share is 70%, that is the ancestral system of the Qin family. The clan head and clan elders all knew about this.”
He deliberately placed stress on the word “ancestral system”, emphasizing that the Qin family has been divided in this way for generations, and Gu Zezhi should have no say on this matter.
“Marquis, are these the only properties of the Qin family?” Gu Zezhi said with a faint smile on the corner of his lips like a gentleman, modest and noble.
“Of course.” Qin Zhun responded without hesitation.
“But it seems that this isn’t the only one, is it?”
Gu Zezhi glanced lightly at the account book on the large mahogany case, and the smile on his face deepened as if saying that those account books were fake.
Qin Zhun’s face was a little stiff and his chest swelled with anger. These Qin Zening, Qin Ju, and Gu Zezhi, does each and every one of them regard him as a sick cat?!*
(* cowardly and incompetent person)
The Qin family’s clan head and elders also understand Gu Zezhi’s implications and looked at each other. One of the clan elders politely asked, “Since Third Master Gu said so, do you have any evidence?”
Gu Zezhi said unhurriedly: “Fourteen years ago, the copy of the dossier of the Marquis family should also still be there, why don’t I go to the Dali Temple, and borrow this dossier for comparison what do you think?”
“Back then, the Qin family returned to the capital after the vindication and took back the marquis estate. And even after the marquis’s very large expenditure after ten years, there shouldn’t be any difference.”
Gu Zezhi talked eloquently as if he personally knows the properties under the Marquis like the back of his hand.
He deliberately did not continue, but anyone could tell he was saying that the Qin family would be ruined sooner or later.
Qin Zhun looked at Gu Zezhi profoundly and wanted to ask him how much he knew, but finally resisted his impulse.
If he really knows something, this account book might not be able to stand investigation...
Gu Zezhi at this time already closed the general ledger, looked at the two boxes of ledgers, and asked again, “Marquis, which of these two boxes of ledgers are for the sea trade?”
Qin Zhun’s heart jumped nervously again and said with gritted teeth, “Third Master Gu, this marquis has thought about it carefully, and you are right. The title originally supposedly belong to the eldest house but this marquis inherited the title instead. And since the eldest house has no father or mother it will be difficult to set up their family on their own and it is more appropriate to divide the property...”
After a pause, he said painfully, “It’s time to give 70% to the eldest house.”
“Marquis, no!”
Madam Su simply went crazy as she abruptly stood up. How could he let this be divided like this?! Was the marquis being lured by Gu Zezhi?!
The clan head and clan elders, all looked at Madam Su in unison with slight frowns on their faces.
Family separation was a man’s business, this was the Qin family and Qin Zhun was the head of the family so how could a female family member from the Su clan object and even make a fuss!
Although they also feel that this was not the appropriate way to divide the family, imagine, if they divided the family properties like this then wouldn’t the Qin family’s ancestral rules be like nothing in the future?! All the houses could think that they could get more like this if they decided to separate then the whole clan would be in chaos!
Qin Zhun gave Madam Su a warning glare and said through clenched teeth, “That’s enough, you have no say here!”
As he spoke, Qin Zhun’s hated her even more, if not for the Su family, how would he have come to this dilemma at this moment!
