Chapter 503

Old Madam Qin felt uneasy thinking that her granddaughter was going to travel far away, especially since this girl had never been to such a distant place before. She took Qin Jiu’s hand and said, “Jiu’er, it’s only proper for you, the junior, to pay respect to your elders, but don’t wrong yourself too much either.”

“If you can’t get along with ‘that side’ don’t force yourself. Whatever they say, you don’t have to care about it, anyway, you and your husband won’t stay for more than a few days before you return to the capital.”

“As for Concubine Feng, she is not your proper mother-in-law, so you do not need to give her face, if she wants to set rules for you like giving you people or something, just refuse. You have to remember that you are the legitimate daughter-in-law so you don’t need to give the concubine a face, if anything happens, the Marquis house will support you.”

Old Madam Qin’s words were said in a heartfelt manner, and Qin Jiu was a person who knew what was good and what was bad, so she responded obediently to each of her words.

Fearing that the old madam might not be at ease, she took Old Madam Qin’s right arm and affectionately said, “Grandmother, don’t worry, I won’t suffer a loss. Besides, there’s Zezhi!”

Qin Jiu smiled sweetly like a glutinous rice causing Old Madam Qin’s heart to melt and completely disregarded her granddaughter’s first half of the sentence. Her granddaughter was just sharp-tongued but in fact, she was soft-hearted. Back then she was coaxed by her second uncle to pay him a lot of money, as for the second half of her granddaughter’s sentence.

Thinking that Gu Zezhi had earned himself the title of county prince at a young age, Old Madam Qin felt that her husband was a successful man and that with the help of Empress Wei’s maidservant, Du Ruo, her granddaughter should not be able to afford to lose.

As the grandparent and grandchild were talking, the voice of a maidservant greetings came from the outside. “Marquis.”

Immediately thereafter, the door curtain was rudely lifted by someone, and Qin Zening himself threw the curtain in, walking hastily.

Qin Jiu and Old Madam Qin instinctively looked at him, Qin Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing something strange from her elder brother’s slightly subtle expression.

“Grandmother.” Qin Zening bowed to Old Madam Qin.

Old Madam Qin thought that Qin Zening knew about Qin Jiu’s plan to go to Western Xinjiang, and smiled, “Anning, do you also know about your sister’s plan to go to Western Xinjiang?”

Qin Zening did indeed know, but he did not come back for this matter. He deliberately said, “Grandmother, my sister, is going a thousand miles to western Xinjiang this time. I have something to tell her.”

Old Madam Qin revealed a smile of understanding and dismissed siblings with a wave of her hands.

Until the siblings went out of the Ronghe Hall, Qin Zening looked at no one in the four corners of the room before he said to Qin Jiu, “As soon as the morning court was opened today, the emperor formally decree to enthrone the Sixth Prince as the Crown Prince, but…”

Qin Zening’s eyes were deep and he paused for a moment before continuing, “However, Lord Chengen knelt in front of the Imperial Library after the early court, saying that… his grandfather colluded with Wang Yu and had ulterior motives.”

“He also said that the Empress should take off her hairpin and ask for a pardon, and also ask for a decree to abolish the Empress.”
