C176 Slandering to Sow Discord

After dinner, Old Madam Qin and the girls returned to the living room. Everyone sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting. The warm scene made Yuchen feel weird no matter how she looked at it.

She really could not be blamed. She had previously flipped through the information on Qin family. Most of the people's relationships were also known. Now that she saw these people sitting and chatting peacefully, there was only one thing in her heart that could repay her: Living in this world, it all depended on acting skills.

"Qin Mu, follow me to the study." Elder Qin looked up at Qin Mu. Seeing him nod, he turned around and was about to leave, but he heard him say to Yuchen beside him, "Let's go to the study together."

Elder Qin's footsteps paused, but he did not say anything to stop him. Although his study was not a forbidden area, everyone knew Elder Qin's status in the family. If he called ___ to his study, it naturally meant that he treated him differently. Thus, the study room could be said to be the holy land in everyone's heart.

"Your grandfather asked you to go to the study. Why did you bring your wife in?" Qin's father stared at Qin Mu unhappily. He was very dissatisfied with his son. It was fine that he was aggressive, but he did not give him any face in front of others. Initially, Qin's father was hoping that Qin Mu would return to the capital and help him regain his foothold in the Qin family, but he didn't expect Qin Mu to come back and drag him down.

Elder Qin only had two sons, and the youngest son had a gloomy personality. He only liked to study, and after becoming a teacher, the reputation of the Qin family in the eyes of scholars rose to a new level. However, Elder Qin being a third teacher was a very disappointing thing to Elder Qin. After all, he wanted the Qin family to be able to stay in the capital for a long time. As a teacher, he couldn't. Thus, he was very interested in Second Brother. Speaking of which, Qin's father was also a capable person. He was a little clever. He had made a name for himself by relying on his family's relationship, but who would have thought that he would be defeated by a woman? Again and again, in the end, Elder Qin also lost confidence in him. If he couldn't even defeat a woman, how could he expect to inherit the Qin family? He wanted to ensure the stability of the Qin family in the capital.

Therefore, Elder Qin had set his mind on the third generation. He wasn't too old yet. The third generation was already twenty to thirty years old. He thought that he was still old and strong. The only thing that disappointed him was that... The third generation was still inferior to the second generation! It wasn't easy for Qin Mu to be capable, but because of his father's matter... He had left the country long ago. He had never even considered that useless Ji Chengtian. Oh, the grandson of a girl, Jiang Ziyu, was also dull. One look and you could tell that he wasn't suitable for politics. There were only two girls left. Every time Elder Qin thought of this, he could not help but sigh. Could it be that the Qin family had reached his generation?

Because of this, Elder Qin had a high tolerance for Qin Mu. Even when he said that he would bring his wife to the study room, he did not say anything. In fact, he was curious about Su Yuchen's answer. If she was sensible, she should give the time to him, the grandfather. She should have gone to the living room to accompany the girls.

"Yes, why did my grandfather want to see you?" Yuchen nodded and followed Qin Mu to the study room on the second floor. She asked curiously.

However, her voice was not soft. Elder Qin frowned when he heard her. Was this girl naive? Did she really follow him in?

"Yuchen, the men are talking. We women should go to the living room to chat." Ji Yue originally stood with her son. Seeing Qin's father's appearance, she could guess what he was thinking. She immediately told him what he was thinking. They had been husband and wife before. Naturally, they had some tacit understanding.

Sure enough, Qin's father raised his head and looked at Ji Yue with a somewhat satisfied gaze. It was a pity that no one actually listened to the conversation between the two of them.

"Thank you, Auntie, but there's no need. There's no secret between Qin Mu and me. I can listen to whatever he wants to hear." Yuchen smiled and said righteously.

Her words were too direct. It made Ji Yue's face slightly change. She had probably never seen such a straightforward girl.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come up." Elder Qin, who was walking at the front, spoke. Everyone shut their mouths and looked at Yuchen with complicated expressions.

Qin Mu held Yuchen's hand and quickened his pace. Soon, his figure disappeared.

The few people who stayed behind all had unfathomable expressions. The only one who could see their emotions was Ji Chengtian. He stared hatefully at the second floor. He blurted out, "What did grandfather call him back for? Don't tell me he thinks that we are useless and only Qin Mu is capable?"

Honestly, even though Ji Chengtian didn't have a brain, they stood in the middle of the dining hall and the living room and spoke. Therefore, they could hear what they were saying in the living room.

"Hey, where's brother Qin Mu's wife?" Xue Qi was the one who was shocked by Qin Mu. She looked innocently at the crowd as if she was really looking for Yuchen.

"She went to the study room." Ji Chengtian glanced at his grandmother, whose face did not look too good, and replied in such a way. Sure enough, he saw that her expression became even uglier, and he could not help but feel happy in his heart.

"Something that has no rules." Old Madam Qin threw the teacup in her hand onto the table heavily, putting on the airs of an old lady.

"Father's study, can anyone enter?" The eldest daughter Qin Yihan's face also sank at this time. She lost to her daughter's identity. Although she was the eldest daughter, she still did not receive much attention. An aristocratic family like the Qin family valued males more than females. Especially when it came to inheriting the family business and using the family's resources, no matter what, their son had to be the first to use them. Therefore, Qin Yihan had always thought that the reason why she had only come here after so many years was because her family did not help her.

When she said this, Old Madam Qin's face became even uglier. One had to know that even she was usually not allowed to enter the study. Elder Qin had absolute authority in the family, so the rules he set naturally had to be obeyed by everyone. However, today Qin Mu brought a messy woman in. Old Madam Qin was naturally unhappy.

That's right. In the hearts of the people of Qin family, Su Yuchen was a woman who did not have any prominent family background. She was just a messy woman who wanted to cling onto the Qin family. Even if they were already married, they would still be married. Old Madam Qin did not think much of it. At most, they would just divorce and get married again. Even if Qin Mu was to get married, there would definitely be a lot of women who would pounce on him.

"There's no other way. Grandfather has always doted on my big brother." When Ji Chengtian said this, he shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression.

Everyone knew that he was jealous of Qin Mu, so he deliberately said those words. However, they had to admit that these words had entered everyone's heart. Elder Qin had never attached so much importance to Qin Mu. His tolerance for Qin Mu was just too great. This... This was not a good sign.
