Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Two Nights Breaking into Qin Mansion
Qin Xinru's death was a huge blow to Qin Rulan. She locked herself in her room for many days in a row, not thinking about food or food, feeling depressed, and she lost a lot of weight.
Although some unpleasant things happened between her and Qin Xinru during the martial arts competition that day, it is undeniable that the person with whom she has the closest relationship in this family is her sister Qin Xinru.
Qin Liu is a patriarchal person. Although her father loves her very much, the eldest daughter avoids her father. The younger daughter has no nerve to confide her thoughts to her father. Therefore, since she was a child, all her worries have been directed to her elder sister.
Qin Xinru is indeed a good sister who can always solve her problems.
In Qin Rulan's heart, Qin Xinru is both a sister and half mother.
Therefore, Qin Rulan was the one who was most saddened by Qin Xinru's death.
Although others were also sad, they were more angry.
It's just that their anger is not because of the loss of their loved ones, but because of their interests.
If Qin Xin wants to marry into the Zhennan Prince's Palace, she only needs to wait two more years for the filial piety period to pass, and then she can be carried into the Zhennan Prince's Palace in a grand manner on an eight-carriage sedan.
By then, the Qin family will be able to truly attack Zhennan Palace. If anyone in Baiyun City wants to deal with the Qin family, they must first consider whether they are strong enough and whether they can withstand the wrath of Zhennan Palace.
But Qin Xinru's death made everything come to nothing.
What's even more annoying is that Su Mou is also dead, and they can't even use Qin Rulan to marry Qin Xinru into the Zhennan Palace.
In this way, the relationship between the Qin family and the Zhennan Palace will be completely severed.
In the future, major families will definitely become more unscrupulous in suppressing the Qin family.
Therefore, Qin Xinru's death made the Qin family extremely angry.
Especially Qin Chuo.
He originally thought that by inheriting the Qin family's business, even if he could not restore the Qin family's glory, he could still rely on the relationship between the Qin family and Zhennan Palace to prevent the Qin family's decline from being too ugly. Who would have thought that his beautiful plan would suddenly come to nothing?
, how can this make him not angry?
And when someone told him that the great elder of the Qin family intended to train Qin Rulan to become the head of the Qin family, his anger burst out like a torrent on the spot. He rushed directly to the great elder's courtyard and asked the great elder face to face what his intentions were? Did he want to make Qin Rulan the head of the Qin family?
Has his family become Tian Hongwen’s Qin family?
This question is heartbreaking.
It is tantamount to stabbing a knife into the heart of the great elder.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Qin family, even at the expense of his own face and reputation, and deceitfully obtained resources from other families to help the Qin family overcome the current difficulties. However, now that he was questioned by Qin Chuo, he couldn't help but feel chilled.
The key is that he can't explain to Qin Chuo yet, because he knows that no matter what he says at this time, Qin Chuo won't listen.
Not to mention that the reason why he gave up on Qin Chuo and chose to train Qin Rulan as the successor of the family head was because Qin Chuo was useless.
If he said this in front of Qin Chuo, Qin Chuo would go crazy.
His original plan was to let Qin Chuo support him openly, while he secretly trained Qin Rulan, so that the Qin family could see Qin Rulan's ability, and Qin Chuo himself could understand who was the best candidate for the head of the family.
At that time, as long as Qin Chuo is promised enough benefits, Qin Chuo will be happy to accept it with his temperament of enjoying himself.
"Yuan Taiping, the thief, dares to go back on his word, break his promise, and spoil my affairs. If you are encountered by me one day, I will never spare you." The great elder cursed angrily.
He believed in his heart that Yuan Taiping had a grudge and deliberately revealed the information to Qin Chuo, because he had only told Yuan Taiping about this matter.
"You are such a thief. You ruined my life with your front legs, but you dare to break into the Qin Mansion at night with your back legs. Humph, how little do you take me seriously?!"
In the dimly lit room, two fierce lights suddenly shot out from the elder's eyes, and he said to himself in a cold tone.
Because of the violent deaths of Qin Xinru and Su Mou, he had not dared to take it lightly these days, fearing that the perpetrators were coming for the Qin family. To prevent the murderers from breaking into the Qin Mansion at night and committing crimes, he had been secretly guarding the Qin family at night.
Just now, a familiar breath suddenly climbed over the wall of Qin's courtyard and broke into his perception coverage area. After thinking about it for a while, he found out who this familiar breath belonged to.
It was none other than Yuan Taiping.
He broke into the Qin Mansion at night and went straight to Qin Rulan's residence.
Is this to ruin Qin Rulan's reputation?
The First Elder immediately became furious and felt that Yuan Taiping was really a sinister and vicious person.
He opened the door with a clang and was about to stop Yuan Taiping, preparing to give him a severe lesson to let him know that even if the Qin family lost its pillar, he, a cat and a dog, could not offend him.
But as soon as he left the room, his eyes trembled suddenly and his steps suddenly stopped.
Unexpectedly, a man stood in the middle of the yard, facing the door, standing with a sword behind his back.
"Come Zhou Jian!"
The great elder recognized the uninvited guy in the courtyard, shouted with an unhappy expression, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He was extremely shocked. He never expected that Zhou Jianlai's cultivation level had reached such a high level that he could hide from his perception and appear quietly in the courtyard.
But what shocked him even more was that he actually felt a vague and dangerous aura from Zhou Jianlai's body.
"I told Qin Chuo," Zhou Jianlai said.
His words had no beginning or end. The elder didn't react at all and asked conditionally: "What do you mean?"
"I told Qin Chuo that you wanted to support the second young lady to take over the position of head of the Qin family. Yuan Taiping didn't know about it." Zhou Jianlai looked directly into the elder's eyes and said slowly.
Without waiting for the elder to speak, he continued: "It's okay to get married, but not to change your surname. It's pointless to bully honest people."
"You know about the competition to recruit a bride, and you also know the conditions for recruiting a bride. If you never show up to stop it, you have acquiesced."
"Yuan Taiping risked his life to climb up to the ring and win the championship. He also risked his life to kill hundreds of thousands of big-toothed dogs. Then he came back full of joy. But you dismissed him with just a few words. There is no such thing as you in the world.
A bully."
"It's okay to regret the marriage."
"Take out all the property deeds that Yuan Taiping helped the Qin family win, and then publicly apologize to Yuan Taiping."
"Otherwise, this matter will not work."
"Haha." The great elder laughed angrily and said, "I admit that I handled this matter in a biased manner, but so what? Even you two yellow-haired brats dare to challenge my authority."
He was not a domineering person, but he was really offended by Zhou Jianlai's domineering attitude. He felt that Zhou Jianlai didn't take him seriously at all, so he was angry and said unreasonable and harsh words.
Canglang!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jianlai was not frightened at all and actually drew his sword directly towards him.
"Since you are unreasonable, I can only talk to you about swords." Zhou Jianlai held the King of Wei sword in his hand, and in his bright eyes under the night, the fourteen golden true dragon sword intentions shone brightly.
The great elder's eyes darkened. The moment Zhou Jianlai held the sword, the sense of danger that Zhou Jianlai gave him suddenly increased several times, and the sharp sword intention on Zhou Jianlai's body made his expression become solemn.
If it hadn't been for his physical injuries and the loss of his combat power, he would have slapped Zhou Jianlai away long ago, and why would he be talking to him about this and that.
But the fact is that he was seriously injured and his current combat power is only slightly stronger than that of the Ninth Heaven Realm.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why he carefully developed the Qin family step by step. If he was still as powerful as the previous Star Realm, the Qin family could still run sideways in Baiyun City without caring about any force in Baiyun City.
At this time, facing the domineering Zhou Jianlai, although he did not want to admit it, his combat intuition told him that Zhou Jianlai would be difficult to deal with.
Suddenly, the great elder felt the sadness and indignation of being bullied by a dog.
"Oh, do you think that since I am seriously injured and my combat power is greatly reduced, I can handle it casually?" The great elder spoke like ice and said with a cold expression.
Zhou Jianlai said: "I'm not bullying you, I'm trying to reason with you."
"Be reasonable? Is this how you are being reasonable?! A man held me back with a sword, and a strong man broke into a woman's house in the middle of the night?!" the elder asked in a low voice.
"You can rest assured that Yuan Taiping will not enter the second lady's boudoir. He just wants to stand in the yard and say a few words to the second lady."
"If the second lady agrees to your arrangement, we will turn around and leave, and we will have nothing to do with the Qin family from now on. If the second lady does not agree to your arrangement,"
"What will you do?" the great elder asked.
"We are about to go to Beijing to receive a reward from His Majesty. At that time, the Jinluan Palace will ask Your Majesty for a mutually satisfying marriage. I think His Majesty will definitely become a beautiful man, so he happily agreed." Zhou Jianlai said.
"Are you going to Beijing to be rewarded by His Majesty?!" The great elder looked shocked.
"You have no idea how much sweat and blood Yuan Taiping put into killing 100,000 big-toothed dogs. Even His Majesty was moved by his splendid military exploits, but this is nonsense to you. It's really ridiculous. I once heard the eldest lady say,
You also come from a poor background, but you seem to only know how to lament yourself, but don’t know how to pity others. It’s really sad.”
The great elder's face turned a little pale.
Zhou Jianlai's two serious actions had a great impact on his heart.
The sound was ridiculous and the sound was sad, making him feel like he had become a villain who succeeded in his ambitions, bullied others with power, and was arrogant.
"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't missed Uncle Qin's kindness, I would definitely seek an explanation for Yuan Taiping." Zhou Jianlai said.
According to his opinion, if the Qin family insists on regretting the marriage, then they must hand over the land and house deeds and publicly apologize to Yuan Taiping as he said before.
Otherwise, there will be truth under the sword.
But he had to respect Yuan Taiping's decision. Yuan Taiping said that if Qin Rulan denied the marriage, then he would turn around and leave, so he would just turn around and leave.
…
It was late at night, but Qin Rulan felt heavy and found it difficult to fall asleep.
She stood by the window, looking sadly at the stars in the sky, thinking about the stories her sister had told her when she was a child.
Her sister told her that for every person who dies on earth, there will be one more star in the sky.
So she looked at the stars, wondering which one was her father, which one was her eldest brother, and which one was her sister.
But Fanxindiandian, where can I find it?
In a daze, a figure flashed in her mind.
He was an ugly-looking man, but he risked his own life to save her in the ring. He was determined to kill a hundred thousand soldiers to avenge his father for her.
I don’t know where he is now?
It is said that the war with the Daya Army in the south ended in June and July last year. How could he kill 100,000 Daya Army in such a short period of time?
Why was there no news from him after he left?
Are you still working hard for your promise to kill 100,000 Daya Army, or do you feel that you can't kill 100,000 Daya Army, and you are too embarrassed to come back, so you have to hide in some strange place, marry a wife, and live a stable life?
Or is it already on the battlefield?
A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Qin Rulan's mind, and she subconsciously pulled her gaze back from the starry sky, fearing that she would see the stars belonging to that ugly man.
But when her eyes fell from the sky, the figure of that ugly man actually appeared in her field of vision.
He was standing outside the window, as if he had just arrived, or as if he had been here for a while.
Qin Rulan rubbed her eyes, feeling dazzled.
