Qin Zhun was upset, but he could not lose his temper with the head and the elders, so he could only patiently say to the head: “Eldest Uncle, I really didn’t mean that, I just lost my temper and said a few hard words causing Ning’er and Jiu’er to misunderstood…”

“Clearly in the public hall just now, second uncle blatantly wanted to kick us out.” Qin Jiu casually interrupted Qin Zhun.

Qin Zening immediately echoed, and said agreeably, “Second Uncle, you certainly told us that if I still insist on not leaving won’t it be I be too shameless to eat and drink in the marquis fu but don’t behave myself, insisting on competing with the second aunt’s nephew for the same position!”

“That’s right. We brothers and sister eat and drink freely, so we should swallow our pride… and I deserve not to be able to lead an official career.”

Qin Zening said this while looking down at his right leg with the splint as he showed a disheartened and broken expression.

Qin Jiu: “Sniff, sniff.” (Crying)

“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have cause troubled with the Su family, but it’s not easy for eldest brother to get a good job. I really feel sorry for eldest brother…”

Saying this, Qin Jiu never forgets to lower her small exhausted from crying face, and slightly trembling her thing shoulder.

Qin Zening looked up at the family head who was sitting beside Old Madam Qin and said, “Grandfather, although my salary is not much, I can rent a small house outside. It’s enough to support my younger brother and sister. We can live frugally to scrimp and save.”

Qin Zhun: “!!!”

Qin Zhun’s expression became even uglier and felt that Qin Zening was extremely shameless, however, he had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only feel more aggrieved that he was about to vomit blood.

Qin Jiu: “Sniff, sniff.”(Crying)

Qin Jiu cried more pitifully and sobbed as she said: “Let’s go. Eldest brother’s feet are injured, if second aunt…” She then gave Madam Su a timid look and said, “Then… won’t eldest brother die just like that?”

“Although us siblings have suffered a little, we still can’t let other people use us as stepping stones for nothing.”

“Wah, wah…”

“Jiu’er…” Old Madam Qin was so distressed by Qin Jiu’s crying feeling like her heart was also being pinched, and really wanted to hug her and call her her baby.

Old Madam Qin has already heard from Du Ruo what happened in the public court today, and now looking at her eldest grandson and her third granddaughter, one was miserably injured while the other was pitifully crying. She was really heartbroken looking at these two children who have been greatly wronged.

Old Madam Qin’s eyes were slightly red, and there were thousands of words she wanted to say but turned into a long sigh. Her second son did too much this time!

Qin Zhun was going crazy.

Obviously, just now in the public court, Qin Jiu looked like she would give in but now she change her face into someone pitiful, being greatly wronged as her second uncle bullied her!

So now, he was afraid that all the people in the capital know he couldn’t tolerate the eldest family’s orphans!

Qin Zhun at the moment was even more upset as his mind was in turmoil, he blamed Qin Zening and his sister for making a big fuss and making the incident rambunctious, but he also blamed Madam Su, if only Madam Su treated Qin Jiu better how could she act so brazenly and even threatened to move!!

Qin Zhun bit his teeth and refused to relent, he insisted, “Ning’er, I know you’ve hurt your leg, and felt that I’ve wronged you but you’ve misunderstood your second uncle. You can’t just separate from the family because of this.”

Qin Zhun then looked at the head again, intending to let the head step in, but just as he opened his mouth, Qin Jiu interrupted as she sobbed, “Then we will not split the family….”

Ah?! Qin Zhun was taken aback, he didn’t expect Qin Jiu to be agreeable all of a sudden.

Qin Jiu slowly wiped the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief, “As long as we can move out I don’t want anything but to be with my eldest brother and fifth brother.”

She turned her head to look at Qin Zening, her slightly reddened eyes looking exceptionally bright, “Eldest brother, from now on, me and A’yu are all depending on eldest brother.”

What she meant was that as long as they could move out, the three of the would rather not have the family property.

Qin Zening suppressed the corner of his lips that were about to turn up and continued to sing the same tone as his sister, “Don’t worry, Xiao Jiu, you have eldest brother! You won’t go hungry!”

“Second uncle,” Qin Zening looked at Qin Zhun again, “even if we move away, grandmother is still here, so we will often come back to pay respect to grandmother in the future and we will not forget our surname Qin, nor will we let the Qin family’s reputation fall but instead I together with my siblings will make it shine more.”

What does he mean by this? Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening, his eyes widened a little. Was Qin Zening saying that he deliberately suppressed him all these years so that he could not stand out?! He actually has the nerve to say this to his face!!

The head and the elders slightly frowned, they were all distracted by Qin Jiu’s words just now, all thinking the same that Qin Zhun not only wanted to drive away his nephews and niece from the Marquis fu but also was so overbearing that he refused to distribute the family property to them.

Ai, Qin Zhun was so unkind and unjust!

The head and others all cast disapproving glances at Qin Zhun.

Clearing his throat, the head advised Qin Zhun, “Marquis, it’s time to divide the family. We can’t treat Zening and his siblings badly.”

The clan elders also nodded one after another.

Qin Zhun: “!”

Qin Zhun felt that he was more wronged than Dou E*. When did he say he would take over the eldest family’s property?!

(* The Injustice of Duo E, is the title of the play, you can search it on google title is self explanatory)

One of the clan elders looked at Old Madam Qin who was directly in front of him and asked, “Sister, what do you think?”

Old marquis was already dead, but his wife, Old Madam Qin was still here. As the saying goes, when parents were present, no family was separated. They should ask Old Madam Qin first about this.

“……” Qin Zhun also looked at Old Madam Qin with an expectant look, hoping that Old Madam Qin would use her grandmother position to press Qin Zening and Qin Jiu, and as long as she said she didn’t want to split the family, then he could go along with it.
