Chapter 379

Qin Zhun clenches his fist and said with a stern face, “Ning’er, how can you let your sister be in charge!”

“Your sister, who only just reached her hairpin has never been in charge of a household before, so what does she know?!”

“You ah, your heart is too big. You actually handed too much authority to your money and properties to your sister that is going to be married off...”

The moment Qin Zhun mentioned Qin Jiu, his mouth was like a dam that releases too much flood water, as his anger also surged out.

Hearing this, Qin Zening raised his sword like eyebrows and a mocking light flashed through his eyes.

During the palace banquet just now, Qin Zeyu was not quiet either and told Qin Zening about the heroic act of Qin Jiu and how she ruthlessly killed Qin Zhun several times in just a few months. So, after hearing Qin Zhun say this, he already knows what he was talking about.

For Qin Zening he could tolerate anything except saying that his sister was not good. Smiling with crossed arms, he looked carefree.

“Ai.” He heavily sighed, “Xiao Jiu is so kind, she’s afraid that the Marquis will be ruined so she took out all of our family’s cash and gave it to second uncle to help him preserve the family business, Xiao Jiu really has worked hard.”

After Qin Zening said this, regardless of Qin Zhun’s thought he coldly swing his hand away and left.p! The two families were already separated but his hand still wants to stretched out to other people’s sister!

“You...” Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening’s back angrily as the corners of his mouth trembled, and his forehead veins bursting. He angrily said, “Stop!”

However, Qin Zening’s steps did not stop nor slowed down at all, leaving him with great strides.

Livid, Qin Zhun face distorted even more as he bitterly said to himself: These siblings were becoming increasingly unruly, they don’t even see him as their uncle. They were really unfilial, disrespectful, and undisciplined!!

Slightly frowning, Old Madam Qin felt nervous.

She knows this second son very well, and every time he encounters something difficult, he would always looks like this.

Qin Zhun hesitated for a while before he could muster his strength and said with difficulty, “Mother, our marquis of zhongyi* is in trouble. If we don’t do something, the title that was passed down by our ancestors will be gone...I have let down our ancestors ah!”

(*loyal and righteous)

Sighing anxiously, his brows furrowed even more and his expression seemed to say that he had no choice but to come to see Old Madam Qin as a last resort.

Once she heard that this matter actually involved the title of the Qin family, Old Madam Qin was so frightened that her face turned slightly white, clutching the rosewood Buddha bead string in her hand, she asked in a panic, “What’s wrong?”

“Mother...I...ai!” Qin Zhun looked hesitant and unable to speak as he kept on sighing heavily.

This made Old Madam Qin even more anxious, with her brows also now deeply furrowed she asked again, “A’zhun, tell me quickly what happened?”

After Madam Qin asked several times, Qin Zhun finally reluctantly said. “Mother, you also know that I just got the job at Taipusi Shaoqing not long ago....”

Old Madam Qin of course knows about this, the post at Taipusi Shaoqing was a lucrative job that many officials in the imperial court were eyeing.

Taipusi Shaoqing was the official department in charge of horse administration and animal husbandry in the imperial court. As the old saying goes, ‘The horse department is the most important thing in the country.’ Since ancient times, horses have been an important weapon in the military and the country. Since Emperor Taizong, the Taipusi department set up Changying treasury, a special storage for “horse price silver”, so special that they often make jokes about getting rich if they got transfer to this department.

“Could it be that there is something wrong with this new job?” Old Madam Qin frowned and asked.

“Ai!” Qin Zhun sighed deeply, looking really anxious as he said, “Li Yuanchan, the former minister of Taipusi handed over his job in a hurry so it gets me occupied and really busy that I even wished I could grow one more head and six more arms, because of this I didn’t notice anything amiss until two days later. I only realize...that the department’s treasury is a big empty cave.”

As he spoke, Qin Zhun’s face became increasingly ugly.
