Chapter 124 CFV Ch.124 Embezzlement (2)

Qin Zening briefly explained to him the context, but it only confused Qin Zeyu.

Qin Zening’s eyes were lit up. He said, “Xiao Gui, what you said is possible!”

“Perhaps that demon Yunguan managed to catch hold of something to threaten Qin Xin with and demanded money from her. Qin Xin couldn’t get the amount together and in a panic, could only pawn off some things to get the money.”

Qin Gui nodded. That is what she thought.

Bam!*

Qin Zening slapped the dowry list heavily onto the table and scoffed. “If she has such a big appetite to swallow that down, then have her spit it all out!”

Qin Gui silently sipped her tea and pondered for a moment.

Since Madam Qin has already settled the matter of Qin Xin stealing the dowry on the excuse of subsidizing the family’s expenses, even if they pursue the matter openly, it would still be difficult for them to pin anything on Qin Xin. So, they might as well...

A stream of light flashed past Qin Gui’s eyes.

“Big Brother, do you know when Yunguang will be exiled?” Qin Gui looked at Qin Zening with her clear eyes which were dense with eager excitement.

Qin Zening really had no idea, however.

The Second Sister in his eyes is not like this!

Second Sister is the one who treats him the best since he was young. When he was being punished to copy books by the teacher, his Second Sister would quietly help him with it. When he was being scolded by Grandmother, the one who spoke for him was also his Second Sister. Second Sister gave him anything he wanted and would even plead with Second Aunt for him, telling the accountant to give him some silvers.

Third Sister, however, would only beat and be mean to him.

Even though he should be angry, he did not know why, but he felt very aggrieved when his Third Sister ignored him. He wanted Third Sister to coax him better.

Qin Zeyu felt bored lying at the window, watching his brother and sister muttering in discussion. Then, his Big Brother left to do something. Soon, Third Sister left as well.

Then he was left there, all alone.

Sigh!

The naughty child sighed in boredom.

He was scared of being beaten so he didn’t dare to slip out and play. He could only wander around the house and run from the turf all away to the small garden...Then, he met Qin Xin.

Wearing a red cloak lined with rabbit fur, Qin Xin walked along a cobblestone path like a red plum in winter, elegant and beautiful.

“Second Sister!”

Qin Zeyu was overjoyed and ran over towards Qin Xin.

As the distance between the two grew closer, for some reason, he subtly felt as if there was an invisible barrier separating the two which made it hard for him to act as close with Qin Xin as usual.

Qin Xin stopped three or four steps away and put on a reluctant smile. “Ah Yu, do you not recognize me as your big sister anymore?”
