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.

Qin Jiu smiled and added, “Those shops were left to me by my grandfather.”

Hearing Qin Jiu’s words, Old Madam Qin could not help, but recall the past and nodded.

These shops were specially arranged by the old marquis after Qin Xin was brought back to the capital 11 years ago. He said that they would be left for his granddaughter as a dowry.

Originally, Old Madam Qin did not mind giving these shops since she raised Qin Xin as her granddaughter.

However, things were different now. Qin Xin killed the old marquis and no matter how good-natured Old Madam Qin was, she could not allow Qin Xin to live freely with this dowry arranged by the old marquis!

Qin Zening raised his eyebrows as he secretly applauded Qin Jiu. Old Madam Qin may not know, but Qin Zening was more aware that Qin Xin sold those shops at a low price last year, and he had someone secretly buy them and transfer them to Qin Jiu.

However, even if this was the case, they must still take advantage of Qin Xin, after all, Qin Xin took advantage of the Qin family, she was even merciless when it came to harming them.

Qin Xin was just a white-eyed wolf who was an ingrate that no matter how good the Qin family had been to her over the past decade, she would never remember it. What she would always remember was why the Qin family refused to comply with her wishes.

Under the burning gazes of Qin Jiu and Qin Zening, Qin Xin looked pitifully at Old Madam Qin and called out. “Grandma!”

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.
