C173 An Awkward Position

Since Qin Mu had decided to return to the capital, he had already thought of how to face these people from the Qin family. The best way was to give them a warning. If they were smart, they would understand the meaning of this action. If they couldn't even understand this, then he would be even more lazy to deal with them.

The people of Qin family were just afraid that Qin Mu would come back and fight them for the inheritance rights of Qin family. Of course, there were also the few resources that the Qin family didn't have. As the saying goes, one day is a day, and the other is a day. Although the Qin family was still one of the four big families in the capital, the power in their hands had gradually been diluted. The superior ones were already old, so the successors naturally began to cultivate their own powers. A family like the Qin family, which did not have much of a central force, only wanted to show off on the surface.

Only Elder Qin was still alive. If he passed away... Perhaps, the status of the Qin family would fall tremendously. There was no one in the second generation of the Qin family who could do anything about it. Qin Yihan, the eldest daughter, managed to get a decent position in the ministry with the help of her family's relationship. The second son, Qin Wenrong. He was Qin Mu's father. He relied on his family's relationship to mingle in the organization. Later, he left the organization because of his marriage failure and went out to open his own company. The third son, Qin Wenyuan. His personality was very similar to his name. He was silent. He was very literary. He was a professor at Beijing University. The fourth son, Qin Yi Jun. She was considered a deviant in the second generation of Qin family. She had graduated from the Military Medical University. She had been in the army for many years with her ability, and she had managed to make some achievements. However, her personality was too straightforward. If it wasn't for the fact that the Qin family was such a great Buddha, she was afraid that she would have been suppressed to death a long time ago. However, the people of Qin family didn't have this kind of awareness, especially their boss, Qin Yihan. Her greed for power was no less than any man, except for her little sister. She was considered the person who used the most resources of the Qin family, but unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough. Therefore, she could only live a poor life in the ministry.

Luckily, Elder Qin had a good opponent in the past, and he also wanted to promote a branch of the Qin family. Nowadays, most of the people who were in high positions were willing to give Elder Qin face. Of course, this was just a minor matter. Or perhaps... Deliver some useful information. If this is really the time to stand on the team... Perhaps everyone was still looking at the person in power, but to be able to reach their current situation... Elder Qin was already very satisfied. He deliberately let the Qin family fade away. It was to avoid the attention of the new aristocratic families. Compared to the other three aristocratic families, Elder Qin was the most clear-headed. He knew that the era was changing. Everyone had to adapt to the era.

As for Qin Mu, the reason why he had such green eyes was because he looked very much like Elder Qin in the past. His ability was outstanding. If he was the one who took the lead in Qin family... He would definitely ensure the Qin family's current strength, and would never decline in the era of the new rulers. Elder Qin had worked hard for his entire life. Naturally, he hoped that the Qin family could continue its glory generation by generation.

However, this grandson had married behind his back. This matter made Elder Qin very angry. However, the matter had already become a fact. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't possibly force him to divorce, let alone the fact that Qin Mu and the Qin family still had a grudge between them. He didn't dare to expect Qin Mu to return to the Qin family so easily. How could he make things difficult for his wife? As for just now, he just wanted to test the status of this girl in Qin Mu's heart. He also wanted to see her reaction. The facts proved that Qin Mu was serious about her. And this young lady was quite special. She actually dared to talk back to her elders. She did have some personality.

Speaking of which, if it was an ordinary family, they would dare to talk back to their elders when they saw Yuchen open her mouth like this. It was very likely that they would be dissatisfied, but the Qin family was not an ordinary family. Elder Qin wasn't an ordinary person either. What the Qin family needed wasn't a wife without a temper. If they wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, they couldn't rely on gentleness and cowardice. More importantly, this girl dared to protect Qin Mu. Because of her friendship, Elder Qin was very appreciative of her. Of course, this appreciation was in his heart, and he didn't express it.

"Why are you all standing there? It's time to eat." Elder Qin lowered his eyes and did not say anything else. He just waved his hand and everyone walked towards the dining hall.

Logically speaking, when a new wife entered, she should introduce everyone. She should call out to them, but Qin Mu did not introduce them. Yuchen was naturally happy and relaxed. As the head of the family, Elder Qin did not say anything either. At this moment, everyone was somewhat confused about his intentions. Did he not mind that Qin Mu did not follow the rules? Or did he not want to admit Yuchen's identity at all?

Old Madam Qin frowned and looked at the obedient Yuchen. Then she looked away. In her eyes, she was just a woman who clung onto the Qin family.

They walked to the dining hall and did not take a few steps, but everyone deliberately slowed down their pace. Obviously, they wanted to see where Elder Qin would let Qin Mu sit.

There was a very long table in the dining hall of the Qin family. Elder Qin sat on the main seat. On one side was Old Madam Qin and the second generation, and on the other side was the third generation.

Speaking of which, besides Qin Mu, there were also two girls and a boy in the third generation of the Qin family. Of course, there was also Qin Mu's half-brother. Usually, his granddaughter Qin Lu would sit beside Elder Qin. After that was his grandson, grandson, and granddaughter. In a family like Qin family, the hierarchy and status were very strict.

"Qin Mu, sit over here." Elder Qin sat on the main seat first, then said to Qin Mu. He pointed at the seat next to him.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Qin Lu, the granddaughter who had always sat beside Elder Qin, had an even darker expression. Although her father did not have much potential, her mother had taught her since she was young. She was the only granddaughter of the Qin family. She was the treasure that Elder Qin held in his hands. In fact, Elder Qin really doted on this granddaughter. After all, she had always been obedient. She was also very sweet. At most, she would compete with Ji Chengtian for favour. Elder Qin felt that it was not a big deal.

But now that Qin Mu had taken her seat as soon as he came back, she naturally felt uncomfortable. However, she also understood that Qin Mu was the eldest grandson of the throne. If he came back, her granddaughter would not be enough.

"Yuchen..." Qin Mu held Yuchen's hand and walked to the seat beside Elder Qin. He pulled a chair for her to sit down and then sat between her and Elder Qin.

Seeing that he did not make any awkward movements, Elder Qin's eyes showed a trace of interest. Old Madam Qin frowned even more, thinking in her heart. Just as her little grandson had said, he was out all year round. He was uncultured and did not understand reason.

Elder Qin raised his head and saw everyone's gaze landing on Qin Mu. He could not help but squint his eyes. Perhaps they had sensed Elder Qin's thoughts, so they all took their seats.

"When are you going to move back?" As expected, Elder Qin's words shocked everyone. He said something that made everyone's face change color as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Mu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I am not going to stay in the capital for a long time."
