Chapter 205 Touched

After Qin Shu finished speaking, Qin Qixuan felt a little sorry for the third brother.

"Mother is right. Our Qin family is mainly engaged in business, but it does not mean that we have no help in the court. Otherwise, how can we be called 'imperial merchants'? And my eldest brother has some connections in the court. Let alone the illegitimate son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, even if the prince has a conflict with you, the emperor may not punish our Qin family."

Qin Qixuan's words were not obscure, and Qin Shu looked at him disapprovingly, but there was no one else around, so what he said was not wrong.

After hearing this, the third brother instantly felt that their Qin Mansion was really powerful!

Moreover, Qin Shu and Qin Qixuan both tried their best to support him, and the third brother felt that he was about to cry.

But it was too embarrassing to cry in front of his mother and sister, so the third child tried hard to hold back his tears, only his eyes turned red, but he didn't really cry.

Yang Haixin didn't care as much as the third child.

She didn't say a word just now, and originally thought that if the third child was punished, she would accompany him to be punished.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shu was so domineering and protective. Even though Yang Haixin was not a member of the Qin family, she was moved by Qin Shu.

"Master, you are so kind."

Not only was there emotion in her words, but also subtle envy.

Qin Shu smiled and waved her hands.

"Haixin, don't call me master in the future, just call me aunt. It's too distant to call you master."

Her words also included Yang Haixin in the scope of the Qin family, so everything she said before also applied to Yang Haixin.

Yang Haixin was not stupid. He immediately understood what Qin Shu meant and shed tears of emotion.

The matter came to an end. Qin Shu was a little tired, but there were still some things to deal with.

"Okay, the three of you take Xixi back. Qixuan, you stay, let's talk about something."

The third brother understood that his mother wanted to talk to his eldest brother alone.

He immediately held down little Xixi who wanted to stay and eavesdrop, and walked out with her in his arms.

Qin Xixi gritted her teeth secretly when she saw that she couldn't struggle.

[Third brother, some growth is unnecessary! You are so sensible now that you don't eavesdrop with Xixi! ]

The third brother and Qin Qiting were both silent, and only little Xixi left the front yard with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that several people had left, Qin Shu's eyebrows were a little tired, but she still cheered up to talk to Qin Qixuan.

"I kept you here because I wanted to ask you what the situation in the court is like now."

Qin Qixuan pretended not to understand and talked to Qin Shu about some political situations.

"The prince and the prime minister have some personal relationship, the second prince..."

Qin Shu rubbed her temples and interrupted Qin Qixuan.

"Qixuan, you know what I want to ask."

Qin Qixuan naturally knew. Mother has never wanted to get involved in some struggles related to the royal family and the court. What she wants to know is nothing more than the remarks related to her in the court.

However, Qin Qixuan was still a little hesitant and didn't know how to open the mouth to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu frowned upon seeing this.

"What, are the rumors getting more and more outrageous?"

Qin Qixuan quickly shook his head.

"Not really..."

After Qin Shu's repeated inquiries, Qin Qixuan still told Qin Shu about the current situation.

"Actually... there are no bad voices in the court now, because they have all been dismissed."

Qin Shu keenly noticed that what Qin Qixuan said was not what the princess had said before.

Among the pedantic officials, some are like those officials, who are not clean themselves, but there are also some who are really pedantic and can't turn around, so they want to scold her.

Those officials were also dismissed, and it must be someone else's handiwork.

Seeing Qin Shu's scrutinizing eyes, Qin Qixuan gave up.

"Well, it was indeed me and His Royal Highness the Little Grandson who worked together to get those pedantic officials out of office. But they themselves were not wronged. As censors, they did not care about those corrupt officials and did not dare to touch the real darkness. Instead, they seized on the mistake of my mother divorcing her husband. In fact, His Majesty has been unhappy with them for a long time, and we just fanned the flames and helped."

Qin Qixuan was afraid that Qin Shu would worry, so he added a few more sentences.

"As for the rumors in the court or among the people, mother, you don't have to worry or care about them. They won't cause any waves. Before, it was just those who disliked the Qin family who maliciously spread the rumors. Now that those officials have fallen, those who spread the rumors dare not continue, fearing retaliation from the Qin family."

Even if Qin Qixuan didn't say it, Qin Shu didn't want to care.

She herself was not afraid of rumors. She was just afraid that the court would have a bad impression of her reputation and it would affect the children of the Qin family.

Moreover, this matter had been mentioned twice in the school, and each time it caused conflicts between the third child and others. Qin Shu really didn't want the children to be gossiped about because of her.

She pondered for a moment and told Qin Qixuan.

"You are familiar with the teacher. When you are free, go to the school and talk to him, and let the teacher control the direction of the school. Scholars should take the world's affairs as their own responsibility, and should not learn to be gossipers who talk about others behind their backs."

Even if it is not her personal matter, it is not good to mention these things in the school.

Qin Qixuan understood and nodded immediately.

But just letting the teacher control the direction of the wind is not a cure for the root cause.

If you want to really reverse other people's ideas, this family still needs a man.

And Qin Shu also has some ideas about the choice of this male owner.

"There is one more thing, mother hopes you can arrange it. After thinking about it, I think it is better to have a man in the Qin Mansion. Why not use the method of martial arts competition to choose a suitable husband for me to enter the Qin Mansion, and let you see who is suitable to be your new father."

Qin Qixuan was a little surprised and hesitant.

"Mother, I don't think this matter needs to be so urgent. The wind direction in the court has improved..."

Qin Qixuan also has his own selfish desires. He still thinks that Helian Shi is the most suitable person for mother. He is interested in mother, his family conditions are not bad, and he is a person who can protect mother.

But Qin Shu has no interest in him, otherwise he would be too perfect.

Qin Shu shook her head when she heard this.

"I have been thinking about this for a long time, and it is not a sudden idea."

It was only after she said goodbye to Helian Shi last time that Qin Shu began to think about how she would find the right person if Helian Shi was not suitable. After thinking about it, she came up with this method that seemed absurd and hasty, but was actually effective.

However, she also has standards, and not everyone is qualified to be the son-in-law of their Qin family.

"Don't worry, even if it is a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, you need to receive an invitation before you can enter."
