Qin Sheng could only complain and grumbled since the speaker has no intention, but it was different for Madam Su, who was listening to her, she felt angrier the more she listens to Qin Sheng and couldn’t help but clenched the veil in her hand.
That’s right, Old Madam Qin was not worried, anyways, even if the second house cease to exist, she still has her other good grandsons and granddaughter who would take good care of her. And if an edict was given to confiscate the marquis’ title, Qin Zening could ask for another edict for his biological grandmother, but what about Madam Su’s family?
If Qin Zhun was convicted, even if he was not deprived of his title, he would still be dismissed. And obviously, he would definitely have to compensate Changying treasury with silver to fill in the hole, and for that to happen they need to almost completely empty their remaining properties and this was what she was afraid of. Without their properties and money, how would they live in the future?
Madam Su couldn’t help but think of the bitter days when she was exiled to Minzhou fourteen years ago, it maybe only three years but it was deeply engraved in her memory.
Those three years were too hard, eating only bread and water, wearing coarse linen clothes, and living in old houses and shacks.
Madam Su didn’t want to live that kind of life again in this lifetime, the last time was only three years, was it possible that this time she would live like that for the rest of her life?
Just thinking about it made Madam Su feel terrified. Poor and humble couples mourn for everything, this would be their forever-unchanging life.
She felt like she was about to be out of breath when suddenly her ears heard Qin Sheng’s sobs.
Madam Su stopped in her tracks and looked at Qin Sheng who was pinching her handkerchief as she wiped her tears and grabbed Madam Su’s arm, she said in a choked voice. “Mother, our family is really in trouble!”
When Qin Sheng thought of Qin Zhun, and then thought of herself, her eyes reddened even more, looking extremely aggravated.
“Grandmother is too partial. I have to marry that scoundrel but she didn’t even feel heartbroken for me, she only favored the eldest house.” As she said this, tears fell like ‘pitter-patter’, her small crying face looking extremely pitiful.
She was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi, if she really marries that scoundrel her life would be ruined! How could she let it be!
Meanwhile, Qin Jiu was going to marry the County King, and she would soon become a county princess. As for Qin Xin, although she was only the second prince’s concubine, becoming a concubine was not really a problem, it was only Qin Sheng who has such a marriage...
The siblings were gathered in the main hall of the front yard, Gu Zezhi was also there.
The four of them had just had dinner, and the maidservants served them teas and fruit snacks after the meal.
Gu Zezhi was chatting with Qin Zening about the Shenshu Camp. Starting from Commander Yu Taijing, he also talks about the deputy commander of the Shenshu Camp, the stationed officer, the left and right deputy generals, and the generals...
Qin Zening listened attentively. He grew up in the capital and knew a little about these generals in the capital, however, at this moment, after listening to Gu Zezhi, he realized that his knowledge was only superficial.
Gu Zezhi knows exactly where these people come from, their background, where they have worked before, and who were their close friends or subordinates of the same rank.
Qin Zeyu also wanted to listen but unfortunately like how they usually spend their days before, his sister was watching at him as he recite the book, and whenever he paused or stumbled, he could see his sister’s gaze eagerly glancing towards the nearby ruler.
Feeling bitter, Qin Zeyu could only concentrate on reciting first while thinking that he could just ask his brother to repeat it later, this was also helping his brother “review” his lesson, right?
After finally reciting the last word, Qin Zeyu heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen to Gu Zezhi when he heard Qin Jiu casually say, “Next!”
Qin Jiu then threw over the book in her hand, which Qin Zeyu quickly caught.
“You’re stumbling, are you going to do the same thing tomorrow when the teacher checks your homework?” Qin Jiu sternly admonished the naughty kid, “Read it ten more times.”
Gu Zezhi, who was sitting next to Qin Jiu, was talking while keeping an eye on siblings beside him, and seeing Qin Jiu’s cup was empty, he naturally added Pomegranate juice to her cup.
“Sister...” Qin Zeyu’s shoulders suddenly collapsed, wanting to talk over with Qin Jiu, whether it would be okay to read it later since it was rare for Third Brother Gu to come, as one of the masters of the house, he should treat Third Brother Gu well, right?
However, Qin Jiu has a different idea in mind thinking that the palest ink was better than the best memory, and added. “Go back and copy it again...” Is copying it once too little?
“......” Qin Zeyu was about to cry for his sister to see.
