Zhou Ya was at a loss now. She had no family of her own, otherwise she might have been able to think of a solution, but she didn't!
Qin Zheng thought about it and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Well! Looks like I can't keep him after all!"
Zhou Ya glanced at him curiously, "Qin Lang, what do you mean?"
Qin Zheng sighed again, "When Chu Mengyun married into the family, she brought quite a bit of dowry, and I gave most of the gold and silver jewelry to you.
I sold many of the others, but I still have two shops in Beijing that are doing pretty good business and a farm just outside the capital.
You haven't been there, but that village is really great. Not only does it cover a large area, it also has its own hot spring. If you go there to soak in the winter, you won't be able to describe how delicious it is.
To avoid suspicion, I never went there privately before. I was just waiting for Chu Mengyun to die and then convert the manor into a mountain villa to make money.
That farm covers over a thousand acres and is close to the capital, so it shouldn't be difficult to sell it for over 200,000 taels!"
Zhou Ya felt a pang of pain when she heard this. If the manor was really that good, and it was converted into a mountain villa, it would definitely be a treasure trove!
Giving away the treasure chest she had obtained now would be like cutting flesh from her heart, causing her heart to tremble with pain.
However, just as Qin Zheng was about to get the land deed, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"Report—Master, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! The Second Young Master is back!"
Qin Zheng paused and a bad premonition arose.
He stopped what he was doing, looked at the servant kneeling in front of him, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What are you talking about? Who's back?"
"Master! It's the Second Young Master! The Second Young Master is back! This time he brought people with him. It seems like he has bad intentions!"
Qin Zheng's legs suddenly felt weak for some reason, and even Zhou Ya felt that it was definitely not a good thing for that bastard to come at this time.
Qin Zheng was thinking about how to get rid of Qin Yu when someone suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Master! The Second Young Master and the Chu family are shouting outside the gate, and many people are surrounding them. Master, please go and take a look!"
When Qin Zheng heard about the Chu family, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Now is not the time for him to act recklessly. The emperor has been keeping a very strict watch on the capital during this period. If anything happens that displeases the emperor, he will be in big trouble.
I didn't care about anything else at that moment and rushed out the door.
At the gate of the Qin Mansion, Qin Yu was wearing tattered clothes, his face was dusty, his eyes were dull, his hair was messy, and he looked so weak that he seemed like he was about to faint at any moment.
Standing aside was the second branch of the Chu family.
Although General Chu and Chu Mengyun have passed away, the second branch of the Chu family is still there. Although not as powerful as the first branch, the head of the second branch, General Chu's younger brother, is quite good and has made many military achievements.
Now, Master Chu Er is serving as a deputy general under the Marquis of Yongwu, and he also has a son who is a vanguard general. They both have a promising future.
The second master of the Chu family, Chu Fengmao, stood upright at the gate of the Qin residence with an imposing manner. No one dared to come forward.
His son Chu Liao supported Qin Yu, his eyes full of heartache.
Qin Zheng rushed out hurriedly, and when he saw the people gathered outside, his heart skipped a beat.
He forced a smile and walked straight towards Qin Yu, looking him over. At first he looked a little disgusted, but then he immediately revealed a fatherly look.
"Yu'er! You're finally back. Where have you been all this time? Dad has sent many people to look for you, but there's been no news. Now that you're finally back, I can finally give your mother an explanation."
Qin Yu heard his voice, slowly raised her head, and fixed her eyes on his face.
However, Qin Yu's eyes were calm, and he looked at Qin Zheng as if he was looking at a dead person, without a trace of emotion.
Under this kind of gaze, Qin Zheng actually felt a little guilty...
"Yu'er, were you scared outside? Why are you looking at Dad like that?"
Qin Yu looked at him for a long moment, then coldly spat out a few words, "You're not worthy of being my father! Give my mother back to me!"
At the end of his words, Qin Yu clenched his fists, and the rage in his eyes seemed to be almost uncontrollable.
If Little Bell were there, she would definitely be surprised.
Because Qin Yu had unlocked the memory that she had previously blocked from him without her knowing when.
Qin Yu is now back to the way she was when she first met him, full of coldness and hatred.
Too bad she's not here...
Qin Yu was shocked and quickly pulled Qin Yu to try to pull the person closer to the mansion to talk.
"Yu'er, what are you talking about? Did something happen outside? Let's go back home and tell Dad slowly!"
Seeing this, Chu Liao quickly pulled his hand away from Qin Yu's arm, "Let go of my nephew! He won't go back with you!"
Qin Zheng was furious, "Chu Liao! This is my Qin family's business, it has nothing to do with you! Let my son go!"
Chu Liao had long looked down on Qin Zheng, so naturally he didn't give him any face. "Bah! This is my nephew, what do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm telling you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because my sister is not around!
Don't even think about it! If you dare to touch my nephew, I will fight to the death and take your life!"
Qin Zheng and Chu Liao cursed so hard that Qin Yu, who was originally struggling on the edge of rage, calmed down instantly.
He still remembered the purpose of his visit today, so he quickly interrupted their conversation.
"Uncle, there's no need to argue with him. I just want to say a few words to him."
After saying that, he turned to look at Qin Zheng, “I have no other purpose for coming back today.
I'm here to divorce you on behalf of my mother. I've already written the divorce papers, you just need to sign them.
Also, return my mother's dowry. My cousin brought the dowry list."
Qin Zheng was dumbfounded. He had never expected this to happen and immediately refused. "Impossible! Your mother has already been buried in the Qin family's ancestral tomb. How can we possibly get a divorce? Don't even think about it!"
He clearly wanted to cheat, and was sure that the Chu family would not dare and would not be willing to dig up the grave.
But he underestimated Qin Yu.
He looked at Qin Zheng with cold eyes, took a step forward and spoke softly.
"I suggest you sign quickly. Otherwise, I don't know what I will say.
There have been a lot of rumors over the years, but no one has spoken out and no one has taken them seriously. But if they were true, I think you know better than me what the consequences would be.
Also, you should know better than me how my mother died and whether her body is in your Qin family's ancestral tomb.
You really want me to say that?"
His voice was very soft, but every word hit Qin Zheng's heart hard.
Qin Zheng looked at his son in front of him in disbelief, as if he had just met him.
