The next day, Qin Zening called the clan leader, the elders, and a few people to officially separate the first and third houses. Since the second house properties were seized, Qin Zening would use the share of his properties to be given away to the third house and let them slowly moved out of the mansion.
Since Qin Zhun spent a lot of money supporting the second prince, Qin Jiu was able to buy many of his properties at a low prince, and because of this she was able to preserve the family’s properties after Qin Zhun’s properties were confiscated.
Earlier, the third house was originally worried that the seizure would affect the third house’s properties, but it seems it was unnecessary worry, and unexpectedly Qin Zening even generously gave them his share, making him overjoyed. Therefore, when he went outside, he praised his nephew a lot, saying that Qin Zening was affectionate and righteous, which puzzled Qin Zhun.
In the next few days, the Marquis Mansion became even more lively. The third house began to pack up his belongings, while the third young master and the young miss of the eldest house began to move. They had only just moved out a few months before they had to move back again, because of this Qin Jiu was mentally and physically tired, feeling that she had been tossing to move in the past few months.
By the time Qin Jiu and others moved in, Madam Su’s case had also been settled.
On the same day, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu went to the magistrate’s public court to watch the trial, they then relayed the process of the trial to Qin Jiu after they returned.
“Lord Hu brought Zhao momo’s son to the public court and she changed her statement…. Later, Madam Su confessed to the crime, but she said that it was instigated by Qin Xin, and she went to see second uncle, who also agreed.”
“Qin Xin was then summoned by Lord Hu to the public hall as well, Qin Xin denied the allegation saying that it was Madam Su who was trying to drag her into the dirty water. She also justifiably said she had just married to the second prince, for her, giving birth to a child sooner rather than later was her priority so how could she come up with such idea to make her observe filial piety!”
Qin Zening’s eyes deepened, his intuition told him that Madam Su was not lying, but what Qin Xin said undoubtedly convince many people.
If it was in the past, Qin Zeyu would of course believe Qin Xin, but after half a year or so, what Qin Xin had done, time and time again surpassed his perception and broke his bottom line.
He no longer trusted her.
Qin Zeyu’s heart flooded with a bitterness and after collecting himself, he said. “Second uncle also denied the allegation, saying that he only asked Madam Su to ask big brother to borrow money to fill the deficit. He said that he had absolutely no intention of killing his mother, and also swore to the heavens that if he had such intention he will be struck by lightning.”
The corner of Qin Jiu’s eyes twitched and could not help but look towards the sky outside through the window, only to see the sky cloudless and blue, as blue as a clear sea.
Shaking her head, Qin Jiu thought to herself: God is probably deaf today…
At a glance, Qin Zening could tell what his sister was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face as he said: “Qin Xin asked her personal maidservant, Shu Xiang, to act as her witness and the latter said that when Madam Su came to visit, she ask Qin Xin for advice. According to her, Qin Xin told Madam Su not to worry and violate the court’s law, saying that she even offered to write to the second prince to find a way. Shu Xiang added, Madam Su must have felt that Qin Xin was unwilling to help so she held grudges and intentionally slandered Qin Xin.”
“The public says that the public is justified, and the woman says that the woman is justified*. No one has any evidence to prove that this has anything to do with Second Uncle or Qin Xin, so neither of them was convicted for this case.”
(*each has its own truth, and each insists on its meaning)
“Lord Hu sentenced Madam Su to exile and hundred strokes of sticks. Second Uncle also offered to divorce his wife in court.”
Qin Zening basically explained everything that happened in the public hall.
He was extremely disappointed with his second uncle, who he had shared joy and sorrow in Minzhou. Even without evidence, Qin Zening could tell from the expressions of Qin Zhun and Madam Su that what Madam Su said was true.
Qin Zening picked up the teacup absent-mindedly and just as the teacup was brought to his mouth, Qin Jiu suddenly said. “Brother, go and clear it up.”
Her sentence caused both brothers, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu, to startle.
Qin Zeyu almost choked on his tea and doubted if he had hearing things.
This…this…this was not his sister’s style at all ah!
Swallowing, Qin Zeyu wanted to ask Qin Jiu if something was wrong.
Smiling shyly, Qin Jiu continued. “As the saying goes, you can cross the same boat after ten years of cultivation, and sleep together in the same bed after one hundred years. Anyway, both second uncle and second aunt are going to be exiled, I think it’s better t be exiled together, so they can ‘take care of each other’.”
According to the practice of this dynasty, since Qin Zhun was exiled as a criminal, he would be exiled to Minzhou, while Madam Su would be exiled to Lingnan like Taoist Master Yunguang, and from then on, they will go their separate ways.
However, Qin Jiu felt that it was not good for these two to be separated and that it would be better for them to be tied together for a long time to love and kill each other.
Qin Zening was a smart person, he was also familiar with Qin Zhun and Madam Su’s temperament, so he immediately understood what Qin Jiu meant.
With Madam Su’s selfish nature, when Qin Zhun turned his back and refused to help her, in addition, he publicly divorced his wife, Madam Suu must have hated him now.
If the two were to be sent separately, Madam Su would only swallow her anger. However, if the two were exiled to the same place and met each other every day, could Su endure her anger?
If this couple were tied together and ended up hurting each other, then they could have the pleasure of satisfaction!
Thinking about it, Qin Zening’s eyes brightened even more, and without even bothering to drink his tea, he hurriedly said. “It’s a small matter, I’ll go and find someone to ‘clear’ it in a moment.”
In the end, whether Madam Su was exiled to Lingnan or Minzhou was insignificant, and the magistrate would definitely be willing to show him face.
As for Qin Xin ……
Qin Zening and Qin Jiu exchanged glances, both siblings seeing the same meaning in each other’s eyes.
In their opinion, Qin Xin certainly was not innocent.
The next day, Qin Zening called the clan leader, the elders, and a few people to officially separate the first and third houses.
