The patriarch and the patriarch were hesitant and looked at each other.

The patriarch smiled and persuaded: "A Ning, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run..."

"Yes, Qin Xin is pregnant now... This matter will benefit the Qin family without any harm." A clan elder with gray hair and a long beard quickly agreed.

Qin Xin was pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, and the clan elders have long heard about it. No matter whether the child in Qin Xin's womb is male or female, this child is the emperor's first grandchild and will definitely be loved by the emperor.

It is really inappropriate to expel Qin Xin from the family at this time. Isn't this offending the second prince for nothing?

In case, Qin Xin really has the luck to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson? !

Several other clan elders also feel that this matter can be waited and watched again, so why worry so much.

However, Qin Zening has made up his mind and will not change because of anyone's persuasion.

"Grandfather, Qin Xin has a flawed character and is cruel and ruthless. She not only encouraged the Su Clan to poison her grandmother, but also..." Qin Zening's eyes were dark and her voice became colder, "I suspect that Qin Xin may have killed my grandfather. !"

"..."

There was silence in the hall, followed by an uproar, and the patriarch and the patriarchs looked at each other again.

The clan elder with the long beard couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, you are just suspecting, there is no evidence, will you be mistaken?"

Others also persuaded: "Yes, Qin Xin was not yet five years old when your grandfather went, how could such a young girl kill someone!"

"Master Hou, I know your grandmother's story makes you feel cold, but don't think about it."

"The Su family is vicious and intends to poison her mother-in-law. It's really hateful, but your second uncle and Qin Xin are innocent in this matter."

"..."

For the patriarch and these patriarchs, regardless of whether Qin Zhun killed his mother or not, as long as there is no evidence, they all hope that Qin Zhun is innocent. The reputation of the Qin family.

Those clan elders nodded one after another, all standing on the same front, while Qin Zening's brows became more and more frowning.

Sparks blazed in the air.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Qin Di said with a smile: "Patriarch, eldest brother, if it doesn't work out today, why don't we talk about it tomorrow. Ah Yu is going to enter the palace later, he promised the sixth prince to accompany him to practice. Horse's."

Qin Zeyu didn't expect the words to come to him suddenly, and nodded straightly subconsciously. He did make an appointment with Gu Zhen today and wanted to go to the palace to play with him.

Qin Di smiled and said again: "The emperor and the empress went to the winter hunting, and the sixth prince stayed in the capital alone, and it was very boring."

"A Yu, you are free, you are going to enter the palace to accompany His Highness to relieve the boredom."

"Wrap it around me." Qin Zeyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he patted his chest.

In the past few months, he has been stared at by his sister to read and practice martial arts, and he has no time to play. Even this winter hunting, his brother and his sister did not agree to let him go, and he was about to get bored.

Qin Di seemed to just say this casually, but the patriarchs and elders looked at each other thoughtfully.

They suddenly realized that this time is different from the past. It turns out that the Hou Mansion is headed by Qin Zhun, and Qin Zhun always relies on the second prince.

But now it is Qin Zening who inherits the title of the marquis, and the sixth prince is Qin Zening's cousin. This blood connection is destined for Qin Zening to choose to stand on the side of the sixth prince. Moreover, the reason why the Sacred Heart is now there. It is very clear why the emperor left the sixth prince to supervise the country, and everyone knows it well.

And the second prince is very obvious, these few months, no Sacred Heart!

Besides, the second prince is about to marry the daughter of the Tang family as his concubine, and the Qin family is not even a serious relative of the second prince.

Therefore, for the Qin family, only one of the second prince and the sixth prince can be chosen, and this is the most unreliable.

The patriarch gripped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair tightly, his eyes flickering.

Once, Qin Zhun chose the second prince, but now he is exiled.

The patriarch also knew that the reason why Qin Zhun moved Chang Yingku's money was mostly to give it to the second prince... Qin Zhun was seized, ransacked, and exiled because of the second prince, but what did the second prince do? !

Qin Zhun's fate can be described as a lesson from the past, what's more, with the relationship between the sixth prince and Qin Zening, it is impossible for the three Qin Zening brothers and sisters to leave the sixth prince to support the second prince.

The patriarch's eyes became more and more firm, and he figured it out all at once.

For the Qin family, there is no other choice but to choose the sixth prince.

The patriarch with the long beard wanted to say something, but the patriarch stopped him with a wink, and the patriarch said resolutely: "A Ning, what you said is very true."

Thinker

"Qin Xin's mind is not right. Her biological parents not only mixed with the Qin family's blood, but also committed murder. This is not right and wrong. Qin Xin is also suspected of murdering the old Houye and the wife. It is time to get rid of the clan."

The patriarch is the cousin of the old marquis. He is highly respected. He has served as the patriarch for many years and is quite prestigious in the patriarch. Even if he said so, the other patriarchs should also follow him.

Qin Zening glanced at Qin Di with a smile, and immediately said, "Uncle and grandfather, it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day..."

Anyway, the patriarch and the clan elders are all there, so today is the day.

As for Qin Xin, it's okay if she's here or not, and there is no woman's role in the family's affairs.

So, they opened the ancestral hall on the same day, removed Qin Xin's name from the Qin family's genealogy, and the big housekeeper personally went to Jingzhao Mansion to file the record.

After that, Qin Zening sent another steward to the Second Prince's Mansion and informed Qin Xin.

When Qin Xin heard the news, the whole person was stunned.

Gu Jing accompanied him to the Hunting Palace, and she could only hurriedly came to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion alone in a carriage.

Qin Xin was flustered, confused and scared. All the way, her body was shaking uncontrollably.

She knows her own affairs. She is in a very difficult situation now. She has to always prevent Gu Jing from going to her mother to keep children. Once Gu Jing came back and found out about this, how would he react? !

Just thinking about it, Qin Xin felt cold all over, she said to herself that she must see Mrs. Qin Tai.

In the heart of the inevitable victory, Qin Xin entered the door of Qin Mansion this time.

After all, it was Qin Di who let her in.

"Grandma!" As soon as Qin Xin saw Mrs. Qin Tai, she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her delicate face, "how can you be so cruel, how can you not recognize me!"

Since her rebirth, in the past ten years, she has been so dedicated and filial to Mrs. Qin Tai, but Mrs. Qin has abandoned her like a shoe. Qin Xin only felt that she had been stabbed again.

The second prince is like this, and so is Mrs. Qin Tai, I am afraid that in this world, only the biological mother, Zhao Aman, is dedicated to her and will not betray her!

Mrs. Qin Tai looked at Qin Xin who was kneeling on the ground, thinking about all kinds of things over the years, thinking about the dead old man, after all, she didn't say a word. Now facing Qin Xin's tears, she will not have the slightest moving.

"Grandmother..." Seeing that Mrs. Qin Tai didn't speak, Qin Xin's heart became even colder. She walked a few steps on her knees, and she had to say something, when she heard the salute of a maid from outside.

Following, Qin Zening and Qin Di came in one after the other.

Qin Xin subconsciously looked up at the two of them, and her eyes fell on Qin Di's delicate and jade-like face.

Qin Di was bright and charming, and her face was like Shunhua, just like the delicate flowers blooming on the branches, but at the moment, she was teary-eyed and embarrassed, like a broken flower and a willow.

Qin Xin could hardly look directly at Qin Di, feeling extremely embarrassed.

But she still didn't look away, raised her head and looked at Qin Zening, and asked, "Brother, why did you expel me from the clan?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Zening's mouth, and said lightly, "You are not from the Qin family."

Qin Xin bit her pale lower lip and said, "Father has an adoptive document in his hand. Since I am on the Qin family tree, I am the Qin family." The "father" she said was referring to Qin Zhun.

"The imperial court has rules, and only the most heinous can be eliminated from the clan."

"what did I do?"

"Even my father was guilty of corruption, was exiled from the title, and he was not excommunicated. Why should I expel my name?" Qin Xin asked plausibly, feeling both grief and grievance in her heart.

She is already in such a predicament, they just don't help her, they have to push her again!

If she loses her identity as Qin's daughter, then she is the daughter of a murderer. In the Second Prince's Mansion, even a lowly maid is inferior, who would look at her highly.

Now she has to prevent Gu Jing from going to her mother and keeping her son, and she can't lose her identity... Otherwise, she will have nothing to rely on.

The more Qin Xin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She felt as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff, and there was a dark bottomless abyss in front of her.

"Grandma," Qin Xin could only pleadingly look at Mrs. Qin Tai, tears fell like pearls with a broken thread, so weak, pitiful, helpless, and helpless, "granddaughter is really suffering now, you will Thinking of the love between grandparents and grandchildren for so many years, take pity on your granddaughter."

"Although the granddaughter is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor, the second prince will soon marry the Zhengfei, and the Zhengfei is still the cousin of the Yu Palace."

"With the relationship between the granddaughter and the second prince, the future second prince and concubine will definitely not be able to tolerate the granddaughter..."

Qin Xin said sadly. On the one hand, she was trying to win the sympathy of Mrs. Qin Tai, she knew that only Mrs. Qin Tai was the most soft-hearted in the Qin family. On the other hand, she reminded them that she was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor. If you want to be prosperous and rich, you shouldn't abandon her at this time.

Qin Xin did everything she could to persuade Mrs. Qin Tai, not only to impress her with affection, but also to induce her to benefit.

However, Mrs. Qin Tai remained unmoved and looked at Qin Xin coldly, as if she was watching the actors on the stage.

"Qin Xin," Qin Zening said coldly, "Do you really not know why you were excommunicated?"

Qin Xin looked at Qin Zening with a pair of foggy eyes without blinking, and said with a bit of injury and a bit of grievance: "Brother, you misunderstood me too deeply."

Qin Zening knew for a long time that Qin Xin was an immortal person who didn't see the Yellow River, and his expression was calm, and he said, "Killing a relative is an unpardonable crime."

Qin Xin said again: "Big brother, it's really not me who encouraged my mother... the Su family. Just believe me once."

Qin Zening took a half-step towards her, looked down at Qin Xin, and said almost word by word, "Do you still remember the oleander forest at the post station in Mengji County?"

"Have you tasted that bowl of sweet soup with oleander?"

"..." Qin Xin's face turned pale, even paler than the snow on the branches outside the window. There was no blood on her face. Her pupils shrank suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost.

Qin Zening has yet to find any solid evidence to prove that Qin Xin murdered his grandfather. The doctor He who treated the old Houye in Ancheng County went to Jinzhou six years ago, but his people were so good. It was easy to chase after Jinzhou, but still no one was found. It is said that Dr. He took the whole family back to his hometown of Shuzhou the year before last. Shuzhou is thousands of miles away, and it is so vast that it is not easy to find people.

However, Qin Xin's expression told him that they were not mistaken!

Sure enough, Qin Xin did it!

Qin Zening's expression was icy cold, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a sharp sword unsheathed, with murderous aura, as if Qin Xin's blood would be spattered on the spot in the next moment.

Mrs. Qin Tai could also see that, with the force of her hand, the string of beads in her hand broke...

Just listening to the sound of "crackling", the broken beads fell to the ground one by one, rolling around on the ground like a mirror.

Qin Xin came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Brother, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Qin Xin gave a dazed look, but unfortunately in the eyes of Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Zening and Qin Di, her acting skills were extremely poor.

Even if Mrs. Qin Tai had a bit of luck on this matter before, hope it wasn't Qin Xin, or the granddaughter she brought up. At this moment, this last illusion was completely shattered.

"I don't understand?" Qin Zening's eyes were sharp, and he let out a sneer from the bottom of his throat, "If you really feel that you are innocent, why don't you go to court and talk about why our Qin family wants to expel you!"

"You know whether your grandfather's death has anything to do with you or not!"

Qin Xin: "..."

Qin Xin's heartbeat couldn't help speeding up by two beats. She almost didn't dare to look Qin Zening's eyes directly, but she still insisted: "I didn't do it, brother, don't wrong me."

"I know that since eldest brother, you knew that my biological mother exchanged me with the third sister, you didn't like me and always wanted to drive me out of the Qin family. But in order to drive me out of the family, you just wronged me like this, and even took my grandfather's death as well. It's too deceiving to be planted on my head."

"Forget it, since you don't recite so many years of family affection for half a year, then I don't ask you any more."

"Can't I just leave?!"

Qin Xin wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief, got up from the ground, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Qin Di called out to Qin Xin.

"Third sister, no, I should call you Miss Qin San. Dare you ask the girl what else to teach me?" Qin Xin smiled wryly, as if she was saying that she has retreated again and again, and they still want to How about it!

"I don't dare to give advice." Qin Di smiled slightly, "I heard from my grandmother that my grandfather left a few shops for his granddaughter. Now that you have nothing to do with the Qin family, these shops should naturally be returned. Come!"

Qin Xin: "..."

Qin Xin seemed to be strangled by the neck, unable to speak. Those shops are long gone. As early as last year, when she was closing the mouth of Daoist Yunguang to collect money, she had already sold those shops. After adding some other things, she raised the 10,000 yuan. Two silver.

But even so, didn't expect Yun Guang to testify against her, causing her to change from a dignified future second prince concubine to a lowly concubine.

Thinking of what happened at that time, Qin Xin still feels aggrieved, and her hand holding the handkerchief is tensed.

Qin Di said again with a smile: "The shops were left to me by my grandfather."

Hearing what Qin Di said, Mrs. Qin Tai couldn't help recalling the past and nodded.

Those shops were specially bought by the old marquis after he brought Qin Xin back to Beijing eleven years ago. He said at the time that they were reserved for his granddaughter as a dowry.

Originally, for Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Xin was raised by her and her granddaughter, so she did not think of this.

But it's different now. Qin Xin killed the old marquis. Even Mrs. Qin's temper is good, she can't allow Qin Xin to take the dowry bought by the old marquis!

Qin Zening raised his eyebrows and applauded Qin Di secretly. Mrs. Qin Tai may not know, but Qin Zening knows best that when Qin Xin sold those shops at a low price last year, he quietly bought them and passed them to Qin Di.

But even so, Qin Xin couldn't be cheapened. Qin Xin obviously took all the benefits of the Qin family.

Qin Xin is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. No matter how good the Qin family has been to her in the past ten years, she will not remember it. What she will always remember is why the Qin family refused to obey her.

Under the piercing gazes of Qin Di and Qin Zening, Qin Xin looked pitifully at Mrs. Qin Taichu and called, "Grandma!"

Thinking of the old marquis, Mrs. Qin's heart became tense again, and she said sternly, "It's the thing that returns to the original owner."

"..." Qin Xin looked at Mrs. Qin Tai in disappointment, completely heartbroken.

She has always been filial and respectful to Mrs. Qin Tai, treating her as her grandmother, but what happened? But it was because of Su Shi's three-word provocation that Mrs. Qin Tai had a grudge against her, and now she said that if she abandoned her, she would be abandoned, treating her as an abandoned child.

Qin Xin's heart was so cold that it seemed to be soaked in ice water, so cold it penetrated to the bone marrow.

She closed her eyes, her eyes became even redder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zu... Mrs. Qin, I am having a hard time at the Second Prince's Mansion. Those servants are looking at the dishes, and those shops are already established. How many days of grace do you have."

After a pause, she said again: "I've been under your knees for so many years, don't you miss your grandparents at all?

"You are no longer a member of the Qin family." Mrs. Qin raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xin, her eyes were unusually tough, and she said firmly, "If the property bought by the old marquis falls to kill him In the hands of men, he will not die in peace."

In the past, how much Mrs. Qin loved Qin Xin, and now she hates her so much, and she also hates herself for being blind.

Qin Zhun, Su Shi, and Qin Xin, she didn't give her heart to them before, but how did they repay her? It's because I'm old and confused, because I don't know people clearly, and I almost harmed myself and the whole family!

Mrs. Qin Tai's heart hurt as if something had been crushed.

"..." Qin Xin's face was a bit ugly again.

Seeing her procrastinating, Qin Di said leisurely, "Li Daya, do you want to go to Jingzhao Mansion and talk?"

Qin Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it, I'll take the money when I go back!"

From then on, she and the Qin family have lost money and goods, and have no relationship at all! She will never come here again, never again to beg them!

Qin Di said casually, "These shops should be 5,000 taels converted into cash."

Qin Zening knew how much these shops were worth, and calmly watched her sister begin to speak loudly again.

"After an hour, I'll have someone deliver the silver note." Qin Xin didn't want to stay here to humiliate herself, so she left after leaving this sentence.

Qin Xin is no longer a member of the Qin family, so naturally she can't let her walk around in the Hou's mansion at will, and a little maid immediately followed.

Qin Xin left, but the air in the room was still a little depressing, and even being used to smelling incense on weekdays made Mrs. Qin feel stuffy.

Although she got the shop back, Mrs. Qin Tai was still puzzled and said angrily, "A-Ning, it's time to report to the Jingzhao Mansion..."

"Grandmother, don't worry, I know what to do." Qin Zening comforted Mrs. Qin and helped her sit down on the kang.

Qin Zening calmly exchanged a tacit look with Qin Di.

Of course they didn't plan to let Qin Xin go like that.

Yesterday, when Qin Zening sent two guards who went to Huizhou to find Doctor He, they returned to Beijing and told him that when Doctor He's family went to Shuzhou, Qin Zening was disappointed and even more angry.

Shuzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the journey is long. It takes a month to come and go, not to mention the vast sea of ​​people. They only know that Dr. He's hometown is in East Shudong, and it may not be a few months. Someone must be found, even in a few years...

In this situation, even if they report to the officials now, accusing Qin Xin of murdering the old marquis, but there is neither evidence nor material evidence, Qin Xin will definitely not be convicted.

How could Qin Zening be willing to let Qin Xin go on like this, he wanted to kill Qin Xin with his own hands immediately and make her pay the debt with blood, but Gu Zezhi stopped him: "Qin Xin is insignificant, it's not enough for you to carry the murderer on your back. crime."

"She doesn't deserve it."

Gu Zezhi's words seemed to pour Qin Zening a bucket of cold water, which calmed him down.

Qin Xin really doesn't deserve it.

His younger sister and younger brother no longer have the protection of his grandfather and father. As the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, he has his responsibilities, and he cannot make his younger brothers and sisters worry about him just because of his whim.

Qin Zening also thought about whether to go to Shuzhou in person, but Gu Zezhi said: "The most urgent task is to expel Qin Xin from the clan as soon as possible, so as not to harm the Qin family."

After Qin Zening took the throne, he was so busy that he temporarily ignored that Qin Xin was still in the Qin family's genealogy.

Hearing this, he immediately complied.

Since he went to Minzhou with Gu Zezhi, Qin Zening still has some understanding of Gu Zezhi. This person will never propose to expel Qin Xin from his family without any reason.

After carefully chewing on Gu Zezhi's words, Qin Zening vaguely understood the unspoken meaning of what he didn't say.

A crime that would be linked to the whole family must be more serious than her murder of her grandfather, enough to make Qin Xin die without a place to be buried!

And he will watch Qin Xin step by step to a dead end.

Qin Zening's eyes became deeper and deeper, like a sword in a box, temporarily keeping a low profile.

The three grandfathers and grandchildren sat down, while the servants and servants in the house were busy. Some were busy cleaning up the fallen beads, some were serving tea for the masters again, and some hurriedly went to make soothing tea for Mrs. Qin Tai.

After Mrs. Qin Tai finished drinking the soothing tea, she was coaxed by Qin Di to go to rest. She really didn't want Mrs. Qin to waste her energy because of Qin Xin. After all, she is old. After several blows, it can no longer withstand any storms.

After Mrs. Qin Tai rested, Qin Zening and Qin Di went to the front yard and asked Qin Xin, who came to the house again, to be led to a hall in the front yard.

"This is five thousand taels of silver notes, the silver notes of Datong Qianzhuang, you have to check it out!"

Qin Xin angrily pressed the silver note on a square table, looking like she could not wait to slap it on their faces.

At the beginning, when she got married, because it was for a concubine, the mansion did not give much money for the dowry, and the nanny in the palace returned some of the dowry. Later, the second prince asked her to ask Qin Zhun for money, she deliberately said a little more, and got some money from Qin Zhun and kept it privately.

Originally, she wanted to keep the money, but she didn't intend to use it unless she had to. After all, there were too many variables in life, and even the second prince, who she once thought would not change, has changed beyond recognition.

In this world, only silver is the most reliable.

Qin Di rudely counted the five silver notes with a denomination of one thousand taels, waved his hand and said, "Two of the silver goods are received."
