Chapter 379

Qin Zhun clenches his fist and said with a stern face, “Ning’er, how can you let your sister be in charge!”

“Your sister, who only just reached her hairpin has never been in charge of a household before, so what does she know?!”

“You ah, your heart is too big. You actually handed too much authority to your money and properties to your sister that is going to be married off…”

The moment Qin Zhun mentioned Qin Jiu, his mouth was like a dam that releases too much flood water, as his anger also surged out.

Hearing this, Qin Zening raised his sword like eyebrows and a mocking light flashed through his eyes.

During the palace banquet just now, Qin Zeyu was not quiet either and told Qin Zening about the heroic act of Qin Jiu and how she ruthlessly killed Qin Zhun several times in just a few months. So, after hearing Qin Zhun say this, he already knows what he was talking about.

For Qin Zening he could tolerate anything except saying that his sister was not good. Smiling with crossed arms, he looked carefree.

“Ai.” He heavily sighed, “Xiao Jiu is so kind, she’s afraid that the Marquis will be ruined so she took out all of our family’s cash and gave it to second uncle to help him preserve the family business, Xiao Jiu really has worked hard.”

After Qin Zening said this, regardless of Qin Zhun’s thought he coldly swing his hand away and left.

Hump! The two families were already separated but his hand still wants to stretched out to other people’s sister!

“You…” Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening’s back angrily as the corners of his mouth trembled, and his forehead veins bursting. He angrily said, “Stop!”

However, Qin Zening’s steps did not stop nor slowed down at all, leaving him with great strides.

Livid, Qin Zhun face distorted even more as he bitterly said to himself: These siblings were becoming increasingly unruly, they don’t even see him as their uncle. They were really unfilial, disrespectful, and undisciplined!!

Actually, he just wanted to pressure Qin Zening as an elder first and then talked about that troublesome matter he had but didn’t expect that Qin Zening, that shrewd monkey, wouldn’t give him any slightest opportunity.

With gritted teeth, Qin Zhun still choose to go after Qin Zening who was walking towards the palace gate.

Qin Zhun quickened his pace and chased after him with heavy pants, and immediately saw Qin Zening was already outside the palace gate.

Qin Zening was riding on a tall and agile black horse and was bending down to talk to Qin Jiu in the nearby carriage. Qin Zeyu was also there, riding on a white horse, occasionally interjecting. He didn’t know what the siblings were talking about but their expressions were happy and harmonious, spreading their laughter with the wind.

Qin Zhun unconsciously stopped and couldn’t help but think of his own home, and suddenly his expression darkened as if his face was shrouded in layers of dark clouds.

Madam Su’s expression all day has been dull, she doesn’t care about anything, and whenever she talks, she always looks odd and doesn’t have anything good to say; their daughter, Qin Sheng blames him for what happened to their family while Qin Xin would just come to his mansion every day to ask for money. Also, a few days ago he submitted an application to ask for the establishment of his heir but he was declined by the emperor.

Even though their marquis’s mansion has split, the emperor still doesn’t allow him to establish an heir, just why?!

Qin Zhun’s gaze was even more profound.

Thinking of the current “trouble”, Qin Zhun felt as if there was a moth flying around inside his body making him even more anxious and irritable.

Qin Zhun took another half step towards Qin Zening and his siblings wanting to pass by, but after thinking about it, he took back his steps as his eyes stopped on Qin Jiu in the carriage.

The sight of Qin Jiu had now made him balk.

Qin Zhun’s expression was complicated and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to pass by them after all and just watched Qin Jiu’s carriage, and the Qin brothers rode their horses, gradually drifting away.

Frozen on the spot, Qin Zhun didn’t know how long he was in a daze until his male servant called him “Marquis” and came back to his senses, before he got into his own carriage.

After returning that day, Qin Zhun tossed and turned all night. The next morning, he went to Old Madam Qin’s place and signaled the latter to dismiss the servants in the room.

“Mother, I have something to discuss with you.” Qin Zhun said straightforwardly as he wrinkled his brows forming a “川” character.

Slightly frowning, Old Madam Qin felt nervous.

She knows this second son very well, and every time he encounters something difficult, he would always looks like this.

Qin Zhun hesitated for a while before he could muster his strength and said with difficulty, “Mother, our marquis of zhongyi* is in trouble. If we don’t do something, the title that was passed down by our ancestors will be gone…I have let down our ancestors ah!”

(*loyal and righteous)

Sighing anxiously, his brows furrowed even more and his expression seemed to say that he had no choice but to come to see Old Madam Qin as a last resort.

Once she heard that this matter actually involved the title of the Qin family, Old Madam Qin was so frightened that her face turned slightly white, clutching the rosewood Buddha bead string in her hand, she asked in a panic, “What’s wrong?”

“Mother…I…ai!” Qin Zhun looked hesitant and unable to speak as he kept on sighing heavily.

This made Old Madam Qin even more anxious, with her brows also now deeply furrowed she asked again, “A’zhun, tell me quickly what happened?”

After Madam Qin asked several times, Qin Zhun finally reluctantly said. “Mother, you also know that I just got the job at Taipusi Shaoqing not long ago….”

Old Madam Qin of course knows about this, the post at Taipusi Shaoqing was a lucrative job that many officials in the imperial court were eyeing.

“Could it be that there is something wrong with this new job?” Old Madam Qin frowned and asked.

“Ai!” Qin Zhun sighed deeply, looking really anxious as he said, “Li Yuanchan, the former minister of Taipusi handed over his job in a hurry so it gets me occupied and really busy that I even wished I could grow one more head and six more arms, because of this I didn’t notice anything amiss until two days later. I only realize…that the department’s treasury is a big empty cave.”

As he spoke, Qin Zhun’s face became increasingly ugly.
