Chapter 34 CFV Ch.34 Refusal (1)
“Hurry and let Second Miss sit down.” Madam Qin told an old lady next to her. “Go and call Marquis and Marchioness here. After all, this is a big issue. We have to discuss it with the family.”
Qin Zening stared coldly at Qin Xin.
The old lady had been by Madam Qin’s side for many years. She knew that Qin Xin was important to Madam Qin. She hurriedly helped her sit down on a round-backed armchair.
Qin Xin timidly gazed at Qin Zening but was only met with a cold look.
Qin Xin was completely disheartened.
Her last life was completely miserable.
Fortunately, she had the chance to redo her life. She really cherished this opportunity. Whether it was Qin Zening or Madam Qin, she sincerely regarded them as her relatives.
But now, the person she had cherished as her elder brother for ten years keeps claiming that she was a fake, an imposter. Is his heart made of stone? Had it not melted after so many years!?
Qin Xin became more and more ashamed and resentful the more she thought of this. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled as crystal tears flowed down the corner of her eyes along her jade-like face.
But Qin Zening didn’t give her so much as a glance no matter how pitifully she cried.
Madam Tai’s heart couldn’t bear the sight of this even more so. If it weren’t for Qin Zening’s words, she would have already pulled her into her arms and coaxed her.
Not Long after, Marquis Zhongyi and his wife also hurried over and calmly greeted Madam Qin, “Mother.”
The messenger sent by Madam Qin told the couple to come over only. They had no idea about anything. Qin Zhun looked at the sobbing Qin Xin in confusion.
Qin Xin wiped her tears with a handkerchief, rose up and greeted them, “Second Uncle, Second Aunt.”
She choked on her words a little. Her eyes reddened from crying.
“What’s wrong?” Marquis Zhongyi, Qin Zhun asked with a frown, “Xin’er, tell your Second Uncle who bullied you, your Second Uncle will take care of him.”
Qin Xin glanced at Qin Zening cautiosly and muttered, “I…I…”
Qin Zening sneered and interrupted her, “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, let me tell you.”
Qin Zening cupped his hands to Qin Zhun and his wife as he explained the ins and out of this matter.
After listening to Qin Zening call her an imposter repeatedly with disgust and coldness in his voice, Qin Xin’s face turned paler as if her face had been slapped ruthlessly by someone, again and again.
Her body constantly like a delicate flower in a storm; she was overwhelmed with shame and resentment.
Qin Zhun and Marchioness Su were dumbfounded. The couple looked at each other. It was obvious that they understood Qin Zening’s every word but they couldn’t put two and two together.
“Wait, wait, wait!” Qin Zhun’s face turned ugly as deep gullies appeared between his eyebrows, “You mean Xin’er is not our Qin Family’s daughter?”
“That’s right?”
“And High Highness already knows this?”
“That’s right?”
“Impossible! How is this possible!” Qin Zhun said in disbelief. From his face, it seemed as if the sky had fallen!
His Highness has just decreed Qin Xin and Second Prince marriage but if Qin Xin is from a humble background, would His Highness still recognize this marriage?
Without this marriage as a guarantee, how could I come out at the top of the list in the new dynasty by just relying on the meager deeds of dual dragons!?
How will the Qin Family rise under my helm!?
At this moment, Qin Zhun started resenting Qin Zening. He couldn’t help but accuse him, “Ning’er, you were too rash!”
