C177 Elder Qin's Probing

Elder Qin's study was similar to what Yuchen had imagined. There was a hint of solemnity in the simplicity. The row of bookshelves looked very frightening. If one were to go up and take a closer look, one would find that most of the books had been flipped through and were somewhat old. There were even some books with bookmarks and notes in the middle of them. It was obvious that Elder Qin read very frequently.

"Sit." After Elder Qin entered the study, he sat on the rattan chair that he was used to sitting on, while Yuchen and Qin Mu sat on the sofa opposite him.

"I did not expect you to use marriage to express your determination." Elder Qin slowly smiled, but his smile was not warm.

Qin Mu reacted quickly and retorted, "I married Yuchen because I liked her. It has nothing to do with Qin family."

Although she followed him in, Yuchen did her best to make herself invisible. She did not want to stay down there to deal with those people with different thoughts. Furthermore, Qin Mu wanted her to follow him. That was why she followed him into the study. In fact, she did not really want to deal with Elder Qin. She felt that this old man, who looked somewhat serious, had a pair of wise eyes that could see through many things.

"Your dad is still a little impatient when dealing with things." Elder Qin sighed and felt very helpless.

At that time, Elder Qin knew that Qin's father and Xue Qi went to France to do that kind of thing and immediately lost his temper. He had been open and aboveboard in his life, and he could not bear to see these schemes and plots the most, even though he was a little disappointed when he saw the scheming of the younger generation in his family. However, he also understood in his heart that people who were too honest couldn't have a promising future. Those who knew how to scheme would be able to make a name for themselves.

"I will not let this matter go just like that." Qin Mu said coldly. The reason he came back this time was to express his stance to his grandfather.

Elder Qin waved his hand. "I am old now. You can settle the matter of your father and son by yourselves. If I don't interfere, I don't have the energy to do so."

Qin Mu was still a little surprised by Elder Qin's stance. He originally thought that Elder Qin wanted him to write off the previous matter, but he didn't expect that Elder Qin wasn't doing it for this matter.

"You should know about the situation in Qin family, right? Who do you think can be in charge of Qin family now?" Elder Qin went straight to the point and asked.

His question startled Qin Mu. He had never thought that someone would ask him such a question.

The leader of Qin family in Jing City was an enviable position. Although the Qin family was no longer as glorious as before, the temptation of being the leader of the Qin family was still very great. Naturally, power was also very great. This was also the reason why the people of the Qin family had ulterior motives.

"I haven't returned for so many years. Regarding the matter of the Qin family..." Qin Mu wanted to shirk his responsibility, but Elder Qin acted as if he already knew that he would find an excuse. He immediately interrupted him, "I know very well how much you weigh. You dare to say that. I'll listen. "

Since he had already said so, Qin Mu naturally could not say any more excuses. He only frowned and pondered for a moment before raising his head.

"If we were to talk about the second generation of the Qin family's direct line of descent, I'm afraid only little aunt has some ability. Eldest aunt has high eyes and low hands, and is a bit snobbish. My father... The backyard is on fire, and he doesn't have much ability in his hands. Let's not talk about it. Third uncle, on the other hand, has an idea. It's just that he doesn't want to be an official and focus on teaching. Although my aunt is in the army, I heard that she had a good reputation in the army and had a good relationship with the officers. Whether it's in terms of ability or connections, Little Aunt is superior." Qin Mu pondered for a moment and continued, "As for the third generation... Eldest Aunt's daughter, Xiao Yu, is like her, anxious for short-term gains and cannot be of great use. I'm afraid that she will have to drop the ball at the critical moment. Youngest Aunt's son, Jiang Ziyu, has a slightly dull personality. But I can tell that he has a brain. I heard that after he graduated from military school, he stayed in the army. I have made a name for myself. As for my half-brother, he was spoiled too much by Ji Yue, that woman. He has no brain and his personality is bad. If the Qin family were to be handed over to him, as for the daughter of my uncle, Qin Lu, she was still young. She was not calm and wanted to wait for her to inherit the Qin family. I'm afraid it's not something that can be done in a few years."

With every word Qin Mu said, Elder Qin's eyes darkened. He looked at Qin Mu with admiration.

It had to be said that even though Qin Mu had not been in the capital all this time, but to be able to get a clear understanding of the personalities and abilities of these people from the Qin family, it was enough to show his connections and abilities. He thought of how such an outstanding eldest grandson was actually because of his brainless father. He left home early and went to France. He really felt that it was too easy on his grandfather. However, when he thought about it, Elder Qin also blamed himself for being too biased towards his son. It was only because of this that Mother Qin suffered so much. It also made Qin Mu suffer a lot.

"So, you think that the fourth house can inherit the Qin family?" Elder Qin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked a simple question.

However, Qin Mu just smiled and did not reply. Seeing this, Elder Qin suddenly turned his head to look at Yuchen. Seeing that she looked like she was listening to gossip, the corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

"Who do you think is the best candidate to inherit the Qin family?" Elder Qin asked with a faint smile. The way he spoke and the way he looked when he was a thousand miles away was like two different people.

Yuchen was listening attentively when she was suddenly asked. She bit her lips and did not say anything.

She was trying her best to be transparent. How did she know that she would be asked a question? She was still asking about things that offended people. She did not want to say it. However, it was not possible to not say it. Qin Mu frowned, while Elder Qin looked at him with a smile. Waiting for her answer, Yuchen felt that this Elder Qin was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. However, since Qin Mu did not stop her, did it mean that she could say whatever she wanted?

She glanced at Qin Mu and he nodded his head invisibly. Yuchen's heart calmed down and knew that he meant that she could say whatever she wanted.

Yuchen thought for a while and said, "I like to read history books. I like to read history books. Those ancient nine dragons fought for the throne. There were too many stories about brothers fighting for the throne. It was outsiders who kept fighting for the advantage. Even though Yong Zheng obtained the throne, many years of fighting made the treasury empty. It has caused the entire Imperial Court to feel weak. It took him a long time to restore the country's vitality after he ascended the throne. "

Although what she said seemed to have nothing to do with it, Elder Qin understood what she meant. What was laughable was that he was unable to refute the words of an outsider.

Wasn't this how Qin family was now? He was worried about external troubles. On the other hand, those from the Qin family who wanted to fight for power only considered internal conflicts. If this continued... The Qin family wouldn't need any external forces, it would fall apart and fall apart. There were still many examples of such a big clan collapsing.

One had to say that although Qin Mu's wife seemed to be in a daze, her words were able to hit the nail on the head. At least at this time, Elder Qin had some admiration for Yuchen.

"What do you think about letting Qin Mu form the Qin family?" Elder Qin suddenly threw another question to Yuchen. He also had some probing thoughts.

However, he did not expect Yuchen's answer to be so direct and had some self-righteous doubts.

"Not good." The strong and powerful reply made Elder Qin's smile freeze, but it also made the smile on Qin Mu's face slowly widen.
