Chen sobbed, "We managed to escape death."
Qin Shaoliang patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
When the two saw the sunlight, they danced with joy.
"Dad, Mom!"
A calling voice suddenly sounded, and Qin Qingwen saw his parents whom he hadn't seen for three years. For a moment, his nose turned red.
"Wen'er."
When Chen saw her second son, she was equally delighted and made as if to go forward and hug him.
Qin Shaoliang looked at Qin Qingwen and nodded gently, "Not bad, you have improved a lot in the past three years."
As he spoke, he slowly walked forward.
"Mom and Dad, I am an unfilial child." Qin Qingwen also burst into tears.
However, just when they were about to hug each other.
Qin Shaoliang and Chen suddenly saw Qin Qingwen's son-in-law, Xu Qiu.
They originally opened their arms to hug their son, but the next moment, they reflexively shifted their arms and instantly avoided Qin Qingwen.
Go straight to Xu Qiu.
Qin Shaoliang burst into tears of gratitude and said: "My good son-in-law! You are really the lucky star of our Qin family! Without you, our Qin family doesn't know where to go!"
Chen was so excited that she burst into tears. "Son-in-law, you are a great benefactor to our Qin family. We have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes to have a son-in-law like you!"
The two immediately came to Xu Qiu's side.
Hold his hand and hug him.
It was so kind, Qin Shaoliang's smile was like a father's, and Chen's cry was like a mother's.
It was as if Xu Qiu was their biological son.
Qin Qingwen, who was standing there with his hands raised, was stunned.
I originally thought that the person being hugged was him, but unfortunately, now he was the only one left, dishevelled in the wind, as if he was an unwelcome bastard.
Even Li Leyao, who was witnessing this scene, was stunned.
Subconsciously uttered a sentence:
"Brother Qingwen, aren't you my biological son?"
Qin Shaoliang and Chen's attitude towards Xu Qiu is completely different from their attitude towards Qin Qingwen.
Qin Qingwen felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he heard this, and said with great sorrow: "I also want to know, whether I am a biological child or not..."
At this moment, Qin Qingwen just wanted to curl up in a corner and have a good cry.
Qin Yumo patted his second brother's shoulder and comforted him softly:
"Don't be sad. You are indeed not as important as your brother-in-law. Even your room has been arranged by your parents to someone else. After you go back, you will sleep in the guest room anyway. Sooner or later, you will have to accept this fact."
Qin Qingwen: “…”
What should I do? I suddenly don’t want to go home.
It turns out that I was picked up and I don’t even have a room. I’m worse than an outsider.
Li Leyao looked at Qin Qingwen with a little pity, "It doesn't matter, don't you still have me?"
"Yes, except you, I have nothing left..." Qin Qingwen said this in despair.
Qin Yumo looked at his second brother with disdain, took Li Leyao's hand, and said, "Don't pay attention to my second brother, he is just hypocritical."
…
at the same time.
Great changes took place in the court.
It caused a huge reaction in the entire capital.
It is normal for walls to have ears in the capital of Daqian, and what happens in the court will soon spread throughout the capital.
All kinds of rumors are flying around.
Ordinary people gathered in teahouses and taverns, talking and spitting.
"I heard that the court has a new emperor, and it's our Sixth Prince!"
"Don't worry about whether he is an empress or an emperor. I heard that the whole court has changed. The former high-ranking officials have all returned to their hometowns and returned the land they occupied in previous years."
"Is this true?"
"How could it be false? The Li and Zhang mansions were raided today, and more than 500 shops were confiscated. I also heard that the newly crowned empress directly ordered that officials are not allowed to take their families out of the capital, and they must vomit everything before they can leave the city."
Hearing the news, ordinary people all cheered secretly. These corrupt officials have been oppressing the people for many years, and they have long been disgusted with corrupt officials.
Now that the new emperor has come to the throne, he has directly eliminated the malpractices in the officialdom, which is amazing.
At this time, there was a servant who had worked in the government office.
He whispered, "I can tell you some gossip."
For a moment, the entire teahouse and tavern was silent, and everyone was listening to the gossip with bated breath.
The servant slowly said, "The North Vietnam delegation has been surrounded by people sent by His Majesty. The imperial teacher who previously controlled the Daqian court was also killed, which led to the new emperor taking the throne."
At this moment, someone asked in confusion: "Who is it? How could someone so powerful be able to kill the National Master... You know, it is rumored that the National Master is the Great Elder of the Wu Sect."
"Hey, this guy is really amazing." The servant patted his thigh and said, "That guy is the son-in-law of the Qin family!"
"Um!!!"
Everyone present was shocked.
Everyone's expression was as if they had eaten a fly, and the disbelief was beyond words.
Someone asked bluntly: "Isn't the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion dead?"
"That's right. He was actually able to defeat the National Master. I'm sorry I can't believe it. The National Master is the great elder of the Wu Sect. He is so powerful that he can overpower the leader of the Wulin Alliance."
"The son-in-law of the Qin family was just a weak scholar half a year ago. It is impossible for him to become so strong all of a sudden!"
Everyone questioned and did not believe what the servant said.
After all, it challenges people's three views.
The servant laughed disdainfully, "I said you haven't seen the world, that's right. The son-in-law of the Qin family is not dead at all, it's just that the court is covering it up."
"I heard that during the time he was missing, he went to Qingluan Valley and got the greatest opportunity in Qingluan Valley. In a few months, he became a powerful person in the world."
"He just returned to the capital recently and beat the imperial teacher to death. Otherwise, think about it, why would there be a new emperor? And none of these officials objected."
The servant took a sip of the strong tea.
Said calmly.
After hearing what he said, everyone turned around and said, "Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense."
"Indeed, I heard before that the head of Xinyue Pavilion insisted on living in the Qin Mansion for the sake of the Qin family's son-in-law. I originally thought it was just a rumor, but now I think it may be true."
"So, the Qin family's son-in-law is no more powerful than General Qin?"
"yes."
The common people, tea drinkers, and even the gangsters around all nodded.
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire teahouse and tavern remained tense.
Then, the servant suppressed the voices of the crowd.
He continued excitedly, "Do you know why the newly appointed emperor dared to attack the civil and military officials of the court?"
Everyone speculated: "Is it because the Qin family's son-in-law is supporting them from behind?"
"That should be the case. If there was no son-in-law from the Qin family, His Majesty would not be so bold."
The sound of people whispering to each other was endless, expressing their guesses.
However, the servant shook his head and said, "You are half right, but not completely. The reason why the emperor dared to take action against all the civil and military officials in the court is that the first person to take action was the son-in-law of the Qin family!"
"You may not know, my cousin who is a member of the Imperial Guard told me that the son-in-law of the Qin family beheaded Minister Zhang and Minister Li in front of all the civil and military officials in the court without saying a word, so that now their two houses have been confiscated."
"It was the son-in-law of the Qin family who told His Majesty that if the entire Daqian was not governed well, he would not mind replacing another emperor. Just think about it, he was so powerful at that time that the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to fart!"
"Even the Pavilion Master of Xinyue Pavilion assisted the son-in-law of the Qin family, not only because he is powerful, but also because he is the young elder of Qingluan Valley!"
As soon as the servant finished speaking, everyone was speechless.
Extremely surprised.
