Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 167 Like waking up from a dream

Uncle Qin Qianbai watched as the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was mercilessly slammed shut on him. It was only at this moment that he realized, as if in a dream, that he had also been kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In fact, he never expected that his father would not even say a word to keep him.

So, in the end, he had no choice but to be kicked out of the house along with his concubine.

Qin Bao looked at his father and mother standing at the gate for a long time without moving. He asked with childish curiosity: "Dad, Mom, where are we going?"

Qin Qianbai didn't know where to go or what to do at this time. He didn't need to worry about so many trivial matters on weekdays. Thinking that he didn't have a penny in his pocket, he could only look at Aunt Ye with eager eyes. He knew that his concubine must have some private money.

After receiving the signal from the master, Aunt Ye could only bite the bullet and say: "Let's go find a pawnshop to rent a small courtyard first."

Qin Bao and Qin Qianbai shouted at the same time: "I don't want it, how can that be possible?"

Aunt Ye estimated that she should have about four thousand taels of silver in the form of small and large coins and banknotes on her body, but this silver was her last private savings and she couldn't take it all out.

So she just coaxed the two of them and said: "Baoer, master, I don't have much silver here, only two thousand taels. The family still needs to eat and drink, and Baoer still needs to study, so we have to save it."

The two men then agreed to rent a slightly smaller yard and headed towards the pawnshop.

The maid Ruizhu was walking at the end, carrying a heavy bag across her back and two large bags in her hands. She took one last look at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She believed that her aunt would definitely come back. After all, her aunt had given birth to a precious grandson for Old Master Qin.

But she seemed to have forgotten that not only her grandson, but even her son had been kicked out, and the figures of several people were gradually walking away...

In the Qin Mansion's storehouse, when the chief steward Qin Shun handed all the storehouse keys, land deeds, house deeds, and the indentures of the maids and servants to Qin Yuehua in a large wooden box, she subconsciously held her breath, and then she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

But when she left the warehouse and her eyes shifted to her grandfather, the sigh of relief she had just breathed was lifted up again. She could clearly feel that her grandfather had become more haggard and thinner in just one day, and his originally straight shoulders were now a little hunched. To drive her father out like this, her grandfather must be very sad! ! !

Prime Minister Qin looked at his granddaughter and said, "Yuehua, come with me to the study."

"Yes," Qin Yuehua replied nervously while holding the wooden box.

At this moment, her personal maid Tingyu came over, and Qin Yuehua hurriedly handed the wooden box to Tingyu.

Then Tingyu heard the young lady order, "Put this box in my cage and lock it, and then help the nanny go down to rest."

"Yes, Miss," so the maid Tingyu held the wooden box in her left hand and supported Nanny Qiutong with her right hand to go down and rest.

After arranging everything, Qin Yuehua chased after her grandfather. Her grandfather's back was very tall, but the white hair on his temples seemed to be more than before.

As soon as she stepped into the study, Qin Yuehua hurriedly bowed her head in shame and admitted her mistake, "Grandfather, it's all my fault. I made you so sad. It's all my fault for not handling things properly. I should have acted more carefully."

Old Master Qin suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Yuehua, you look more and more like your mother now."

Qin Yuehua raised her head in surprise and looked at her grandfather sitting at the desk. He no longer had the dignity he had before towards her father, but was still looking at her kindly as usual.

Old Master Qin continued: "Your mother, Chu, is a very good person. Her dedication and hard work in this prime minister's mansion have all been seen by your grandfather. Child, don't be sad about what your father said. He just hasn't grown a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts."

When Qin Yuehua heard her grandfather speak so highly of her mother, she couldn't help but recall her mother's hard work in the past. Her mother's earnest teachings made her eyes red and filled with tears. She bit her lower lip tightly, stubbornly not wanting to cry out loud.

Old Master Qin lamented, "Thinking about my life, Qin Hui has been a man of extraordinary talent. I was able to assist the king and keep the people in peace, but I failed to teach your father well. Grandfather should be sad."

Seeing that his granddaughter's eyes were filled with tears, he stepped forward and comforted her: "Child, don't cry. Your mother is gone, but you still have your grandfather. As long as your grandfather is alive, he will definitely protect you and your sister."

Qin Yuehua covered her eyes with her sleeves and wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes. She showed a sincere smile, and there was a hint of prayer in her words, "Grandfather, you will definitely live a long life."

Old Master Qin said: "Grandfather has lived to this age, and I have no other wishes. I just hope that you and your sister can live in good health."

Thinking of another thing, Old Master Qin said: "By the way, Prince Zhou has arrived in the capital and should come to visit soon." Old Master Qin meant to subtly remind his granddaughter that her marriage may be approaching.

Qin Yuehua ignored this meaning and asked excitedly: "Didn't you bring the Yuanqi Gathering Spirit Pill with you as well?"

Seeing that his granddaughter didn't think about it at all, Old Master Qin said directly: "Grandpa will worry about this, but your marriage may be brought forward."

Qin Yuehua lowered her head and replied: "Yes". Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. How could she escape it?

She had no particular affection or aversion for Prince Zhou. She had only seen him once or twice when she was a child, and later she had only heard that he was a man of both civil and military talents, with excellent character and family background. Such a person should be her best choice.

Prime Minister Qin looked at his granddaughter who just lowered her head. When he mentioned her marriage, she showed no shyness like a little girl. He thought that his granddaughter was still immersed in getting the Yuanqi Gathering Pill, so he didn't care.

Prime Minister Qin continued: "From now on, the distribution of monthly wages for the entire mansion and the management of kitchen personnel will all be handed over to you. As for the handling of all matters inside and outside, you should learn from the chief steward Qin Shun and the second steward Tang Zhong."

Qin Yuehua bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandfather, for your concern." Now that her mother was gone, it was only her grandfather who helped her worry about these things. Her grandfather also hoped that she would learn to manage the household well so that when she got married and started a family, she would be able to take care of all the affairs inside and outside the family.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Prime Minister Qin waved his hand and said: "Go away, Grandfather still has some official business to deal with."

Qin Yuehua bowed respectfully and said, "Okay, grandpa, your granddaughter will leave now. Grandpa, you should remember to go to bed early and don't stay up too late."
