Chapter 396

Qin Zeyu counted on Qin Jiu to uphold justice for him, if it wasn’t for the inappropriate occasion Qin Jiu almost laugh, so she could only pat her brother’s head perfunctorily. “Of course, our A’yu is someone who knows the importance…”

Before she could finish her words, she heard Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou’s voices coming from outside the main hall. “Get out of the way! We want to see grandma!”

“You lowly servants, who are you to stop us from seeing our grandmother!”

Qin Sheng refused to go, and sharply added, “Even if grandma is asleep, she will always wake up! Can’t we go inside and wait?!”

“That’s right!” Qin Zezhou nodded, “We have something to say to grandma!”

“Say what?” Qin Zening snorted mockingly, “Plead for your mother?”

What else could they say, besides this?!

When Qin Zening returned to the mansion, he heard the guards from the Qin mansion outside say that Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou had just gone to Madam’s Su family together. They were obviously asking the Su family to give them some advice.

Qin Sheng raised her gaze and locked eyes with Qin Zening, “Our mother is wrong, but she was also confused for a moment for father’s sake, and anyway, grandma’s life is not in danger.”

Although Qin Zezhou also felt that his mother, Madam Su’s actions were inappropriate, he knew better that her mother should not be convicted. Once her mother was convicted, how could he inherit the title Marquis of Zhongyi in the future, how could he establish himself in the officialdom, how could he discuss marriage? He would regret it all his life!

This matter must not be made too big. If it gets too big, the outsiders would see the Marquis of Zhongyi as a big joke. So, right now, they must talk to his grandmother, and let her mother kowtow to grandmother at most, as compensation after returning to the mansion.

Qin Zezhou eagerly interjected, “Big brother, we understand that grandma is angry, so no matter how grandma punishes mother, we will never complain.”

“I only want to beg grandma to go to the public court to plead mercy for Mother, if no one sues her then there will be no investigation. Fourth sister and I have inquired about it, as long as the victim is willing to plead for mercy, is willing to intercede and withdraw the case, then mother will get released.”

Inquire? This was obviously the Su family’s advice! Qin Zening simply angrily laughed.

Talking to them was useless, so Qin Zening simply didn’t want to say more to Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou. He ordered, “Take the fourth young miss and the second young master away!”

“Yes, Master!” Several large maidservants immediately obeyed and rushed toward the siblings.

“Impudent!”

“Get off me!”

No one came to pay attention to Qin Zehou and Qin Sheng no matter how much they yell, including those guards of the Marquis’ residence.

These servants understood the situation well, although the eldest house was already separated, the Marquis right now was still in prison and the Madam was involved in a lawsuit for plotting against the Old Madam, with such a big incident the third house remained silent or rather invincible. This was obviously them saying they don’t want to get involved in the battle between the eldest house and the second house. Clearly, the oldest house has an upper hand, so who would dare to confront Qin Zening!

Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou were escorted away, immediately the surroundings cleared up. As the night became darker and deeper, the wind became colder.

After Imperial Physician Xu took Old Madam Qin’s pulse again, his brows relaxed. “Old Madam Qin’s condition has stabilized, as long as she follows the prescription this old man gives. I will come back tomorrow for Old Madam Qin’s follow-up checkup.”

“Imperial Physician Xu, I’ll see you off.” Qin Zening personally sent Imperial Physician Xu out. Imperial Physician Xu barely closed his eyes last night, looking exhausted.

At this moment, it was already early in the morning and the rising sun looked bright.

Imperial Physician Xu went back to the imperial hospital, where he was originally planning to take a day off but was summoned by the emperor. He went to the imperial study to meet the emperor and truthfully reported everything he saw and heard last night.

After he finished speaking, the imperial study fell into silence.

After some time, the emperor’s calm voice sounded. “You may go.”

With that, Imperial Physician Xu retreated, and when he reached the door curtain, he happened to hear the emperor ask, “Could it be Qin Zhun?”

Naturally, this question was not asked for Imperial Physician Xu to answer, but he could not help and glance at the purple-robed young man by the window. The young man drank his tea gracefully, and his well-defined side profile, warm brows, and eyes looked like a clear breeze and a bright moon, making people look at him favorably at first sight.

Without stopping, Imperial Physician Xu immediately exited the Imperial Study.

Imperial Physicians came in contact not only with people in the court but also with dignitaries such as clans and nobles. It was safe to say that they have seen all kinds of shady private affairs, such as killing fathers and mothers, abandoning wives and sons, and brothers killing each other. There was nothing they could not think of, so if Qin Zhun really wanted to kill his mother, this was something not rare for him to witness.
