Qin Xinru's death hit Qin Rulan hard, and she locked herself in her room for many days, thinking about tea and dinner, depressed, and losing a lot of weight.

Although some unpleasant things happened to her and Qin Xinru in the ring competition that day, it is undeniable that it is her sister Qin Xinru who has the closest relationship with her in this family.

Qin Liu's family is a patriarchal and serious family, although her father loves her very much, but after all, the eldest woman avoids her father, and the youngest daughter's thoughts are embarrassed to confide in her father, because since she was a child, she has confided all her thoughts to her sister, and Qin Xinru is indeed a good sister, and she can always solve problems for her.

In Qin Rulan's heart, Qin Xinru is both a sister and a half mother.

Therefore, Qin Xinru's death, the saddest thing in the Qin family is none other than Qin Rulan.

Others were sad, but more were angry.

It's just that their anger is not because of the loss of a loved one, but because of the anger of profit.

Qin Xinru wants to marry into the Zhennan Palace, and she only needs to wait for another two years to pass the filial piety period, and she can carry the sedan chair into the Zhennan Mansion in a beautiful manner.

At that time, the Qin family will be able to really climb the Zhennan Palace, and if anyone in Baiyun City wants to deal with the Qin family, they must first weigh whether they are strong enough and whether they can withstand the anger of the Zhennan Palace.

But Qin Xinru's death made everything come to naught.

What's even more infuriating is that Su Mou is also dead, and they can't even use Qin Rulan to replace Qin Xinru to marry into the Zhennan Palace.

In this way, the relationship between the Qin family and the Zhennan Royal Mansion was completely severed.

In the future, the suppression of the Qin family by the major families will definitely become more and more unscrupulous.

Therefore, Qin Xinru's death made the Qin family extremely angry.

Especially Qin Xuan.

He originally thought that he would inherit the Qin family's business, even if he couldn't make the Qin family glorious again, he could use the relationship between the Qin family and the Zhennan Wangfu to prevent the Qin family's decline from being too ugly.

And when someone told him that the Great Elder of the Qin Family intended to cultivate Qin Rulan to become the head of the Qin Family, his anger erupted on the spot like a torrent, and he rushed directly to the Great Elder's courtyard and asked the Great Elder face to face what his intentions were?

This question is heart-wrenching.

It was tantamount to stabbing the Great Elder in the heart.

He was wholeheartedly for the Qin family, and even did not hesitate to throw away his face and reputation, and defrauded other families of resources to help the Qin family through the current difficulties, but now being questioned by Qin Sui like this couldn't help but make him feel cold.

The key is that he can't explain to Qin Sui yet, because he knows that no matter what he says at this time, Qin Sui won't be able to listen.

Not to mention that the reason why he gave up on Qin Sui and chose to train Qin Rulan as the successor of the head of the family was because Qin Sui was useless.

This had to be said in front of Qin Sui, Qin Sui had to go crazy.

His original plan was to let Qin Sui support him on the bright side first, and he secretly cultivated Qin Rulan, so that the Qin family could see Qin Rulan's ability, and let Qin Sui himself understand who was the best choice for the head of the family.

At that time, as long as Qin Xuan is promised enough benefits, with Qin Xuan's hedonistic temperament, he will gladly accept it.

"The dog thief Yuan Taiping dared to go back on his word, break his promise, and bad old man. If you are met by the old man one day, you will not be spared. The Great Elder cursed angrily.

He thought in his heart that Yuan Taiping had a grudge and deliberately revealed the news to Qin Sui, because he had only told Yuan Taiping about this matter alone.

"What a dog thief, the front foot is bad for the old man, and the back foot dares to break into the Qin Mansion at night. Hmph, don't you take the old man seriously?!"

In the dimly lit room, two fierce lights suddenly shot out of the Great Elder's eyes, and he muttered to himself in a cold tone.

Because of Qin Xinru and Su Mou's deaths, he has not dared to take it lightly these days, worried that the murderer is coming at the Qin family, in order to prevent the murderer from breaking into the Qin Mansion at night to commit murder, he has been secretly guarding the Qin family at night.

Just now, a familiar aura suddenly climbed over the wall of the Qin family's courtyard and broke into his perceptual coverage area, and after a little thought in his mind, he found out who this familiar aura was.

It's none other than Yuan Taiping.

broke into Qin's mansion at night, and went straight to Qin Rulan's residence.

Is this to ruin Qin Rulan's reputation?

The Great Elder immediately became angry, feeling that Yuan Taiping was really a sinister and vicious person.

He opened the door with a bang, and was about to stop Yuan Taiping, and was about to teach him a hard lesson, letting him know that even if the Qin family had no pillars, it was not something that he could offend as a cat or dog.

But as soon as he left the room, his eyes trembled suddenly, and his steps stopped abruptly.

In the middle of the courtyard, at some point, a man stood facing the door, with his sword in his hand.

"Zhou Jianlai!"

The Great Elder recognized the uninvited fellows in the courtyard, snorted with a displeased expression, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

He was extremely shocked in his heart, he never expected that Zhou Jianlai's cultivation had reached such a height, and he would be able to hide his perception and appear in the courtyard quietly.

But what shocked him even more was that he actually felt a dangerous aura from Zhou Jianlai's body.

"I told Qin Xuan. Zhou Jianlai said.

His words had no beginning or end, and the Great Elder didn't react at once, and asked conditionally, "What do you mean?"

"I told Qin Xuan that you want to support the second young lady to take over the position of the head of the Qin family, and Yuan Taiping didn't know about it. Zhou Jianlai looked directly into the eyes of the Great Elder and said slowly.

Without waiting for the Great Elder to speak, he continued: "It's okay to join the family, but it's not okay to change your surname." It's not fun to bully honest people. ”

"You know the competition to recruit relatives, and you also know the conditions for recruiting relatives, and you have never shown up to stop it, so it is a tacit acquiescence. ”

"Yuan Taiping fought with his life to win the championship, and risked his life to kill hundreds of thousands of big tooth dogs, and then came back with full joy, but you sent it away in a sentence or two, there is no such bully as you in the world. ”

"It's okay to regret marriage. ”

"Take out all the house deeds and title deeds that Yuan Taiping won back for the Qin family, and then publicly apologize to Yuan Taiping. ”

"Otherwise, this matter can't be done. ”

"Hehe" The Great Elder smiled angrily and said, "The old man admits that the old man has handled this matter in a biased manner, but - so what? Even with you two yellow-haired children, you dare to challenge the old man's authority. ”

He is not an arrogant and domineering person, but he was really overwhelmed by Zhou Jianlai, and he felt that Zhou Jianlai didn't take him seriously at all, so he was angry and said unreasonable cruel things.

Cangchang!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jianlai was not stunned at all, and directly drew his sword to face each other.

"Since you are unreasonable, I can only talk to you about swords. Zhou Jianlai held the sword of King Wei in his hand, and in his bright eyes under the night, the fourteen golden true dragon sword intent shone brightly.

The Great Elder's eyes sank, and at the moment when Zhou Jianlai held the sword, Zhou Jianlai's sense of danger suddenly increased several times, and the sharp sword intent on Zhou Jianlai's body made his expression solemn.

If it weren't for the great loss of combat strength due to physical injuries, he would have slapped Zhou Jian away a long time ago, where would he still talk to him about this and that.

But the fact is that he is seriously injured, and his current combat power is only a little stronger than that of the Nine Heavenly Realm.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why he is carefully developing the Qin family step by step, if he is still the combat power of the previous Star Realm, the Qin family can still walk sideways in Baiyun City, and he doesn't have to care about any force in Baiyun City at all.

At this time, facing the domineering Zhou Jianlai, although he didn't want to admit it, his battle intuition told him that Zhou Jianlai was not easy to deal with.

Suddenly, the Great Elder felt sad and angry in his heart that the tiger had fallen into Pingyang and was bullied by the dogs.

"Heh, do you think that the old man is seriously injured and his combat strength has been greatly damaged, so he can take it with ease?" the Great Elder spat out words like ice, and said with a cold expression.

Zhou Jian said: "It's not to bully you, it's to reason with you." ”

"Are you reasonable?!, is this how you are reasonable?!, one with a sword to stop the old man, and the other in the middle of the night, three more to break into the woman's residence?!" The Great Elder asked in a low voice.

"You can rest assured, Yuan Taiping will not enter the second miss's boudoir, but just want to stand in the courtyard and say a few words to the second miss. ”

"If the second lady agrees to your arrangement, we will turn around and leave, and we will have nothing to do with the Qin family from now on. If Miss II does not agree to your arrangement—"

"What will happen to you?" the Grand Elder asked.

"We are about to enter Beijing to receive a reward from Your Majesty, and at that time, the Jinluan Palace will ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage that is pleasant to the two of you, and I think that Your Majesty will definitely be an adult, so I gladly agreed. Zhou Jian said.

"You will enter Beijing to receive a reward from Your Majesty?!" the Great Elder looked shocked.

"You don't know how much sweat and blood Yuan Taiping paid to kill 100,000 big tooth dogs, and even His Majesty was moved by his great military exploits, but it's bullshit to you. It's ridiculous. I once heard the eldest lady say that you are also from a poor background, but you only seem to know how to lament yourself, but you don't know how to pity others. It's really sad. ”

The Great Elder's face turned a little pale.

Zhou Jianlai's two seriousness had a great impact on his heart.

A ridiculous sound, a sad sound, made him feel that he had become a villain, a bullying person, and a rotten person with no one in his eyes.

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Uncle Qin's kindness, I would definitely ask for an explanation for Yuan Taiping. Zhou Jian said.

According to his meaning, if the Qin family insists on repentance of marriage, then they must hand over the title deed and publicly apologize to Yuan Taiping, as he said before.

Otherwise, the sword will be under the sword.

But he couldn't disrespect Yuan Taiping's decision, Yuan Taiping said that if Qin Rulan denied this marriage, then he would turn around and leave, then turn around and leave.

......

It was late at night, but Qin Rulan was in a heavy mood and couldn't sleep.

She stood by the window, looking at the stars in the sky with a sad expression, thinking about the story her sister gave her when she was a child.

Her sister told her that for every person who dies on the earth, there will be an extra star in the sky.

So she looked at the starry sky and wondered which one was her father, which one was the eldest brother, and which one was the older sister.

But where to find it.

In a trance, a figure flashed in her mind.

It was a man with an ugly face, but he had saved her in the ring, and he was determined to kill 100,000 people who had avenged his father for her.

I don't know where he is now?

It is said that the war with the Big Tooth Army in the south had come to an end in June and July last year, how could he kill 100,000 Big Tooth Army in such a short time.

Why has he never been heard from again?

Are you still working hard for the promise of killing 100,000 Big Tooth Army, or do you feel that you can't kill 100,000 Big Tooth Army, you have no face to come back, hide in a strange place, marry a wife and live a stable life?

Or maybe they're already on the battlefield—

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Qin Rulan's mind, and she subconsciously pulled her gaze back from the starry sky, for fear of seeing the stars that belonged to that ugly man.

But when her gaze fell from the sky, the figure of the ugly man appeared in her field of vision.

He was standing outside the window, as if he had just arrived, and seemed to have been here for a while.

Qin Rulan rubbed her eyes and felt dazzled.
