After that, Qin Hui improved steadily at a rate of almost two years. He was promoted to Minister of Justice just last year, and his career was very prosperous.

It wasn't until dinner time that Aunt Zhou reluctantly left. Not long after she left, a maid came to invite her.

"Second Young Master, the master is back. Please go to the eldest lady's place for dinner."

"Well, you should lead the way."

Following the maid, Qin Hao came all the way to Qin Yang's yard, and finally met Qin Hui, the cheap dad.

"My son has grown taller and stronger."

Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this useless cliché. In his mind, this cheap dad was a very orthodox ancient scholar-bureaucrat. Everything he did was to gain more power and carry forward the family. In his eyes, family affection had no regard at all.

Not worth mentioning.

"Father is getting older, so he should take more care of himself."

Qin Hui patted Qin Hao on the back with satisfaction, then looked at his eldest son who was sitting next to the eldest lady and coughing continuously, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"This is your eldest brother. You were still young when you said goodbye. I'm afraid you don't know each other anymore, right?"

"But it's different from what I remember." Qin Hao said in a nonchalant manner. He could feel the jealousy hidden in his heart by his cheap brother.

"I haven't seen my second brother for many years. I heard from my father that you have been practicing martial arts with Grandmaster Ye all these years. Now that you have returned from training, you will probably have few rivals among the younger generation, right?" Qin Ying said intermittently while coughing.

Finished this sentence.

Qin Hui listened patiently, and then asked curiously: "Hao'er, when you left, you were already a sixth-grade warrior. Are you now an eighth-grade warrior?"

Qin Hao smiled lightly, and Qin Hui was overjoyed when he saw this: "Okay, as expected, famous teachers make great disciples. When my father asked you to follow Grandmaster Ye, you made the right choice."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes when he heard such self-proclaimed rhetoric. Who could refuse his son to become the disciple of the Grand Master? What's more, the reason why Ye Liuyun came to Danzhou to accept Qin Hao as his disciple was because of Emperor Qing's order, making it seem like he was the one who made Ye Liuyun his disciple.

The same thing as invited.

When Qin Yang and Qin Ying heard that Qin Hao was already an eighth-level warrior, the smiles on their faces became very forced.

At the banquet, Mrs. Qin Yang kept pouring wine into Qin Hao. Qin Hao pretended to be too drunk. After drinking a few drinks, he used his energy to make his face turn red and look drowsy.

"Hao'er is a dignified eighth-grade warrior, but his drinking capacity is a bit poor." Qin Hui was in a happy mood and naturally drank less. He was already tipsy at this moment.

Qin Yang took the opportunity to say: "Look at what you said, Hao'er is only sixteen years old now, and what's wrong with his drinking capacity."

"Here, send Haoer back to his room to rest."

Soon, Qin Hao was carried back to the room. Not long after he lay down, the door was gently pushed open again.

A maid with cool clothes and a hot figure walked in quietly.

"Who sent you?"

As soon as the maid closed the door, someone grabbed her neck, and she couldn't help but turn pale in shock.

"Second Young Master, are you not drunk?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I just took the wrong path for a moment..."

Qin Hao's fingers exerted slight force, and the maid felt suffocated. The key point was that her hands and feet seemed to be held down by an invisible force, making her unable to even struggle.

"Let me guess, it's the arrangement of the eldest lady, right?"

Qin Hao loosened his fingers, and the maid breathed in the air greedily, with a look of horror covering her face.

"When did you come to Qin's house?"

"This slave has been born in the Qin Mansion since childhood."

"In other words, the family has children. No wonder the eldest lady chose you to come here. Your parents, brothers and sisters are all in the hands of the eldest lady, so you have to listen to her, right?"

The maid was sobbing, but she still didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Hao put her down: "I'll give you two choices. One is that I send you to your father. What to do with you then depends on his mood. The other is that I ask your father to deed your entire family over.

From now on, you will work as an errand in my yard."

"If the Second Young Master can save my family, I am willing to work as an ox or a horse for the Second Young Master."

"Okay, then it's settled, you can stay in my room tonight."
