Chapter 444

“Wait a minute.” Qin Jiu called out Qin Xin.

“Third Sister, no, I should call you Third Miss Qin. May I ask if you have anything else you want to say to me?” Qin Xin smiled sarcastically, as if to look that she had already retreated once and for all, so what more do they want!

“I dare not say anything else.” Qin Jiu smiled faintly. “I heard from grandmother that grandfather left a few stores for his granddaughter back then. Since you no longer have to do with the Qin family, then naturally these shops should be returned!”

Qin Xin: “...”

Qin Xin seemed to be strangled by the neck and was speechless, those shops have long been gone. As early as last year, when she was trying to raise money to seal Yungguang’s mouth, she had already sold these shops along with other things and raised 10000 taels of silver.

However, after giving this money to Yungguang, she did not expect her to testify against her, causing Qin Xin to change from a dignified future second prince’s consort to a lowly concubine.

Thinking about what happened at that time, Qin Xin still feels aggrieved, and the hand holding the handkerchief tenses tightly.

Thinking of the old marquis, Old Madam Qin tightened her heart once again and said with a straight face, “It’s time to return these things to their rightful owner.”

“...” Qin Xin looked at Old Madam Qin with disappointment, and was completely heartbroken.

She has always been filial and respectful of Old Madam Qin, treating her as her grandmother, but what was the result? Just because of Madam Su’s few words of instigation, Old Madam Qin held a grudge against her, and now she even abandoned her as if she were a discarded child.

Qin Xin’s heart went cold as if she was soaked in ice water, so cold that it penetrated her bones.

She closed her eyes and opened them again and even became redder than before, as she said in a hoarse voice. “Grand...Old Madam Qin, I am having a hard time in the second prince’s residence now, those servants only serve dishes of varying quality according to the status of the guests so a few of the shops have been pawned. Hoping the old madam to give me more days of leniency.”

After a moment’s pause, she continued. “I have been with you for so many years, don’t you have at least had affection as granddaughter and grandparent at all?”

“You are no longer a member of the Qin family.” Old Madam Qin raised her gaze to meet Qin Xin’s eyes, a rare toughness could be seen in her eyes as she said in a firm voice, “If the old marquis’s estate falls into the hands of the person who caused his death, he will not rest in peace.”

At one time, Old Madam Qin loved Qin Xin so much, but now she hated her as much, and in her heart she hated herself more for being blind.
