Chapter 362

Qin Zhun was about to lose his cool and slap the table, when the family split, the eldest house received 150,000 taels of cash. All he wanted was to borrow this, but Qin Jiu actually had the face to tell him she had no cash on her.

When Qin Jiu meaningfully sighed and said, “Although we receive a little amount when the family separated, I didn’t know before that it wasn’t easy to manage a mansion, now I understand Second Aunt’s difficulties. The mansion has many expenses, and every day we need to spend money.” Qin Jiu counted with her fingers with a troubled look evident on her face, “I’m getting married soon, and my eldest and younger brother still needs to find a wife, how can that money be enough.”

“......” Qin Zhun felt that it was shameless for an unmarried girl like Qin Jiu to actually talk about marriage all the time, which noble girl in the capital was like her!

Qin Jiu, on the other hand, continued to ramble. “Second Uncle wants to do his best for the country, which is a great public justice, so, of course, this niece can’t stop it, but the family needs money too, and IOUs can’t be used for food.”

Her words were close to saying that Qin Zhun was only generous to others.

His sister’s mouth was absolutely the best, no, perfect. Qin Zeyu almost burst into laughter, luckily, he was able to hold his self after sheer strength and divert his attention. Peeling lychee for himself to eat, he thought: It’s so sweet! It smells so good too!

Meanwhile, Qin Zhun gnashes as words came out through the gaps between his teeth. “Jiu’er, what are you talking about! If you are not comfortable with IOU, second uncle will give you a portion of his estate as collateral, this should make you feel at ease, right?”

Qin Jiu shook her head and smiled, “What is second uncle saying, collateral is unnecessary, we are, after all, a family.”

Qin Zhun was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that Qin Jiu wouldn’t be too shameless to take her second uncle’s property as collateral.

Qin Zeyu who was watching this scene unfold, could see what Qin Zhun was thinking at a glance, and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh: Second Uncle really underestimated his sister.

Sure enough—

“The eldest house will buy it from second uncle so that you don’t have to write an IOU.” Qin Jiu sounded like she was thinking after Qin Zhun’s sake.

Seeing his sister’s composure, Qin Zeyu felt that he mustn’t embarrass his sister, so he quickly picked up his teacup and straightened his back.

Qin Zhun: “...”

Qin Zhun really wants to leave immediately but he was desperate, he needed to raise that money.

So, after hesitating for a while, he still suppressed his raging anger and tried to bargain with Qin Jiu, he said politely, “Jiu’er, the business in Minzhou is the fruit of your grandfather’s hard work, and he always wants me to succeed it, how about this, how about I give one of them to the eldest house?”

Sighing deeply, Qin Jiu said. “Second Uncle, I’m not pretending to be poor, I really don’t have enough cash here. If someone else had come to borrow money, let alone 150,000, even 10,000 would not be possible.”

Her eyes were shining brightly as she said these words insincerely.

“Second uncle, why don’t you go back and think about it again?” She kindly advised, “Empress Aunt always taught me to act within my means and think twice before I act, I also think this is true.”

“......” Qin Zhun felt that Qin Jiu was just too sinister.

Flicking his sleeve, Qin Zhun acted like he was about to leave but Qin Jiu didn’t stop him, instead, he heard her say to Qin Zeyu, “A’yu, send our second uncle off.”

Qin Zeyu, who was originally watching the play, did not expect to be called all of a sudden and was momentarily stunned before he immediately stood up and courteously reached out his hand politely, “Second uncle, I’ll see you off.”

Just like Qin Jiu, Qin Zeyu has no intention of stopping Qin Zhun from going, only thinking that he couldn’t shame his sister, and politely show his etiquette. Who made him the only man in the Qin mansion now!

Qin Zeyu suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was truly heavy, and admired himself at the same time.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhun’s feet seemed to be in shackles, unable to move an inch.
