"Nonsense! The Dunjia scroll is the ancestral treasure of my Duan family, who else can it be if it is not ours? ”

Hearing Qin Mu's slander, Duan Aotang couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Qin Mu retorted:

"Really? That only proves that this thing has been passed down from generation to generation in your family, so who was its original owner? Could it be that your Duan family ancestors created it? ”

These words immediately made Duan Aotang dumb, and it seemed that he couldn't prove it.

"Qin Mu, we don't want to be enemies with you, you answer me seriously, did you take it?" Duan Aotang asked helplessly.

"It's not." Qin Mu replied categorically.

"Okay, this matter is over, it's me Duan who misunderstood you."

Duan Aotang waved his hand, and it really happened as if nothing had happened.

"Grandpa Duan? Why did you just trust him? Qiao Yulan was puzzled.

Duan Aotang explained:

"There is no result from such a discussion, and I don't want to believe that Qin Mu would do such a thing."

"And the top priority is to recover the Dunjia scroll and solve the crisis that our two families are about to face."

Qiao Yulan nodded, agreeing that she really had to focus on the overall situation first.

"I'm not interested in your family affairs at all, so I'll leave first!"

Although Duan Aotang compromised, Qin Mu had a thorn in his heart after all, and he didn't want to stay for a second.

Seeing this, Duan Aotang hurriedly stood up with his crutches and stayed:

"Please stay! Qin Mu, don't worry about the matter of Fang Cai, at the last moment, I Duan still chose to trust you unconditionally. ”

"I hope this is the end of the story, our two families are in danger now, and we really need your help."

Qin Mu didn't buy it:

"What? You can't find the Dunjia scroll on me, so you want to turn me into a rescuer? ”

"You big families are really mercenary, and when you see the wind, you are the best at crossing the bridge and pumping the board."

"You only want a life-saving tool, dead or alive, don't you?"

Duan Aotang was said to be blushing, as if the last shroud had been taken off by Qin Mu.

But he can't help it!

Thinking of Qin Mu's previous help to him in Jiangcheng, as well as the two of them who had been friends for the rest of their lives, Duan Aotang couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Thinking about it, he bent down sincerely, and said guiltily:

"Brother Qin, I haven't called you like this for a long time, I admit that it was me Duan who forgot his righteousness when he saw profit, and forgot the friendship between us in order to achieve his goal!"

"But what I think about in my heart is not myself, but the fate of Duan Qiao's two families and thousands of servants."

"I apologize to you for what happened just now, I hope you can forgive me!"

Seeing Duan Aotang actually bow and apologize to a young man, everyone present was shocked.

All the servants immediately turned their heads away, avoiding seeing this scene and saving face for their masters.

"Grandpa Duan! You don't have to! We could have thought of something else! Qiao Yulan had tears in her eyes.

Duan Aotang was over seventy years old at this time, and he had to rely on crutches to walk, and this bow cost him the life of an old bone.

His hand holding the staff was already trembling, and his body was on the verge of being unbalanced, and he could fall down at any moment.

But before Qin Mu could speak, he gritted his teeth and insisted on bending over at ninety degrees.

At this time, Xiao Miao rushed out of the corner and helped her grandfather up, but Duan Aotang was still unmoved, and large beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.

Qin Mu turned around and looked at this scene with a lot of emotion, wondering why he himself also looked at Duan Aotang with colored glasses.

Comparing him to Mu Xiulan's gang, who would have thought that he was just trying to save the fate of the family.

Seeing that this old man was so sincere, Qin Mu was not a hard-hearted person, so he returned to his original position.

"Didn't you say give me tea? So hasn't come yet? He asked casually.

When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled, and they all got busy, greeting Qin Mu as a guest.

Duan Aotang also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked his granddaughter to help herself up and send her back to the chair.

After a while of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the atmosphere finally eased.

"Brother Qin is really sorry, I didn't expect that when we met again, I didn't have a big feast for you, but returned the ...... Alas, don't mention it. ”

Duan Aotang waved his hand again and again.

"Well, I've got experience in this matter, and it's still the worst! Last time, I was put on a plane with my upper body naked and thrown back to Jiangcheng. ”

Qin Mu also made his own jokes, and everyone burst into laughter again.

"By the way, what problems have you two encountered?" Qin Mu couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that Duan Aotang was groveling to himself, it seemed that he was facing a catastrophe.

Duan Aotang wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to say, "Xiao Lan, you can talk to Qin Mu." ”

"If the Mu family wants to dominate the capital, they must clear all obstacles, including the other two major families, and after that, it will be our Duan Qiao family."

Qiao Yulan said simply.

"Huh? He Mu Xiulan has such a great ability? Qin Mu didn't think so, he still knew something about this Mu family.

In addition to the rich and rival countries, there is only one waste physiognomy left, how can he dominate?

"Mu Xiulan alone can't do it, but she still has Qiu Shounian in her hands."

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Kui Dazhuang's words, saying that he had recently been working for the Mu family under Old Man Qiu.

I have to say that the most prestigious Taoist in Beijing and the Mu family, one of the three major families, seem to be really feasible.

"Let's just say that when his Mu family has the ability, I can understand the other two major families, but why is it your Duan Qiao family next?"

"As far as I know, the Qiao family is just a wealthy family, and the Duan family has just arrived in the capital, so they don't even have any level, right?"

Qin Mu asked.

The corners of Duan Aotang's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this young man was really straightforward when he spoke, as if their Duan family was useless.

had to laugh awkwardly, and Qiao Yulan glanced at him and asked, "Grandpa Duan, can I say this?" ”

"Well, you all go down first."

Duan Aotang dismissed all the servants in the hall, as if he was going to say something very mysterious next.

After there were only four people left in the hall, Qiao Yulan slowly talked about the background of the Duan family and the relationship between the two of them......

It turned out that Duan Qiao's two families were in the same vein a hundred years ago, and hundreds of people in the family were all surnamed Duan.

Until the era of peace, the economy developed rapidly, and the capital was suddenly full of power, and a strict family hierarchy emerged.

Countless large and small families have their eyes on the seats of the clan, and there have been disputes for decades, as if a bloodless war has been set off.

But there are also families that have no quarrel with the world and keep to themselves, among which is the Duan family.

However, the Duan family is the existence with the highest strength and reputation among the neutral families.

The so-called guilt, many big families regarded the Duan family as imaginary enemies, persecuted them repeatedly, and imposed commercial sanctions.

In order to preserve the bloodline of the Duan family, the Duan family was divided into two batches.

One of them is the elder's connection, preserving the surname Duan, leaving the capital and settling in Jiangcheng, this is the Duan family in Qin Mu's impression.

And the capital is the destination of the ancestors of the Duan family, and the lifeblood of the Duan family must be guarded by a group of bloodlines.
