Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

Qin's old house——

Everyone was present, and Qin Guanjiu went back to the villa to pack up before returning to the old house. After all, it was a family dinner, so the rules had to be followed.

Qin Shi saw Qin Guanjiu walk in with a gloomy face from a distance, and hurriedly walked to his side and lowered his voice, "Brother, you look so ugly, how is Lin Tong?"

Qin Guanjiu did not answer him. He glanced at Qin Shi and then looked away silently.

Everyone in the hall is waiting.

My eldest uncle’s family, my third uncle’s family, and my fourth uncle’s family all came.

It seems like a Hongmen Banquet...

He walked in without even raising his eyelids, with his hands in his pockets.

His tone was frighteningly calm, "Grandpa, I'm back."

The old man hummed, "Xiaojiu, come with me to the study."

The old man's study is on the second floor. It is very large and has bookcases on two walls, filled with all kinds of books. The desk is made of century-old rosewood, and there is a faint wood fragrance as soon as you enter the room.

This study room in the Qin family's old house is quite old, but the decoration has never been changed and it still has an ancient charm.

Old Master Qin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the plaque on the wall - Mingde Weixin.

"The plaque of Mingde Weixin has been passed down for four generations in our Qin family. Can it still be passed down to your generation?"

Old Master Qin's strong and steady voice rang out in the study.

He slowly turned around and stood in front of Qin Guanjiu, "Xiaojiu, you are from the Qin family, do you remember?"

Qin Guanjiu lowered his eyes, "Remember."

Old Master Qin walked over and patted his arm. "Just remember. Grandpa is afraid of you. You have forgotten your roots, your home, and the rules of the Qin family!"

When Qin Guanjiu heard this, he knew there was something wrong, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"I'm sure you know what I mean better than me. Our Qin family has been passed down for hundreds of years. You're young, so you can go out and play! You're a man! But if you want to marry into the Qin family, you need a daughter-in-law like your third uncle's."

Qin Guanjiu raised his eyes in surprise. He and Lin Tong had done a very good job of keeping the secret, and almost only their confidants knew about it.

Who followed him?

Even if he was being followed, there were secret guards around him, so it was impossible for him not to be discovered.

Qin Guanjiu suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said calmly, "I understand what Grandpa meant."

"It's good that you understand. You are the eldest grandson of our Qin family. You are capable and have great responsibilities. Grandpa can ignore these gossips. You'd better handle them cleanly. People in our Qin family cannot let others gossip about us."

Qin Guanjiu's eyes were deep.

It seems that Mr. Qin really knew about it, but even if he knew it, he would not say who said it behind his back.

Lin Tong is still lying down.

He could only follow the old man's words to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Qin smiled with satisfaction, "Grandpa knows that you are smart. Let's go. Today is the family dinner. Let's have a meal together."

"Okay." Qin Guanjiu pursed his lips and followed the old man downstairs.

Apparently nothing happened between the grandfather and grandson that disappointed them.

No one asked, but if they had, it would have been obvious who leaked the news.

This kind of thing can only be approached indirectly.

The topics at the dinner table were mostly idle chats, and the occasional mention of business dealings with other families would be interrupted by Old Man Qin.

At his age, family is his top priority.

"Shiming is about to get married. Dad, which young master do you think is suitable for Shiming? Can you introduce him to me?"

The servant at the side helped Wei Yushan pick up some dishes and stood aside silently.

Qin Shiming was about to speak when his mother stopped him. She continued, "If you want to ask, you can also take a look at Shiyun and Ning Yi's marriage."

Qin Ningyi was eating, and when she heard this, she said unhappily, "Aunt, I won't have to worry about getting married."

Wei Yushan smiled and said, "We will definitely not have any trouble finding a daughter for the Qin family, but if we wait a little longer, the good ones will have been picked up. I really like the only son of the He family, but he got married last year. This child has a good appearance and good character."

"Mom, who I marry is my own business. It's a different era now, so you don't have to worry about it." Qin Shiyun also spoke up.

Qin Ningyang frowned, "How can you talk to your mother? Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words! If you dare to find me a dishonest woman, I will break your legs. Can anyone marry into our Qin family casually?"

Qin Shiyun's face was gloomy. "Dad! How can I find someone like that?"

Qin Guanjiu's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened, "Uncle, this matter of marriage depends on whether Shiyun likes it or not."

"Yes, brother is right. If you don't like Sister Jiang, then just terminate the contract, right? I also want to find someone I like!" Qin Shiyun said unwillingly.

She didn't want her marriage to be arranged.

Wei Yushan said sarcastically, "No matter how much you like it, you can't break the Qin family's rules. If this gets out, our Qin family will become a joke."

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Qin Guanjiu. His delicate eyebrows did not show any emotion. "Xiaojiu, don't you think so?"

Qin Guanjiu nodded in agreement, "That's right, aunt."

Wei Yushan smiled with satisfaction, and Zhang Ningrong followed up with a sentence, "However, girls are not like men. It is understandable for men to play around outside, but girls cannot. Instead of being innocent, they get themselves into trouble."

Even Qin Shi, who was sitting next to them, understood what was said.

There was a strange look in his eyes, but he said nothing.

Old Master Qin angrily slammed the table, causing it to shake. He said in a very serious tone, "In our Qin family, no matter if you are a man or a woman, you must be pure and innocent! You can't mess around with other girls!"

Wei Yushan was so scared that she patted her chest and exchanged glances with Zhang Ningrong. "Dad is right. It is most important to keep oneself clean. After all, our Qin family is not an ordinary family. If someone gets hold of something against us, it will be bad!"

Her eyes swept over Qin Guanjiu intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Guanjiu put down his bowl and chopsticks suddenly, "Uncle, what do you think of what grandpa and aunt said?"

Qin Ningyang was suddenly called, and his heart trembled. He smiled and replied, "That's for sure."

The servant handed Qin Guanjiu a hot towel. He took it and wiped his hands with it, his movements slow and graceful. "Uncle, you can think more about keeping yourself clean."

The oppression made Qin Ningyang's breathing stagnate.

Qin Langyi smiled and came out to help. "Your uncle and I are both henpecked, not to mention your fourth uncle. Today can be regarded as your fourth uncle's welcoming party. We are here to celebrate his return home. The reason we are so late is that everyone is too busy."

The servant poured him a glass of red wine. Qin Langyi stood up, holding the glass and looking at Qin Guanjiu's fourth uncle, Qin Jiangao.

"Third brother, you have been staying abroad for recuperation since the accident. Now you have finally returned home. It is a happy thing. Although the second brother's family has not participated in family dinners for many years, they must miss you very much."

Qin Jiangao was sitting in a wheelchair.

Qin Langyi shifted the focus of the war to him with just a few words. He chuckled, and his eyes and brows were somewhat similar to the old man.

Years of remaining silent made him unable to say anything polite. He just nodded and then raised his glass to drink with Qin Langyi.

He finished his drink and the servant took the glass away.

"Xiaojiu, how have you been recently?" When he looked at Qin Guanjiu, his indifferent expression finally showed a little warmth.
