In the past few days, they were in a panic and did not dare to take action. Most of the people in the Xie Mansion in the capital were the eldest brother's own confidants, so they did not find an opportunity to take action.

We can't do anything now. What if Big Brother really finds out something and sets a trap for them to fall into? Then we're all done.

We can only wait for my eldest brother and the others to return to Jiangnan, and then find an opportunity to take action.

"But today isn't Zhao'er's return party, why are you coming to Xie's? This is against the rules."

Madam Xie also echoed.

Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

"What's wrong with this? The Xie family is Zhao'er's natal family, she can come whenever she wants."

"Mother is absolutely right." Aunt Xie echoed her mother-in-law's words.

"My daughter-in-law and my third brother's wife have already prepared it. I was thinking of preparing more things because Zhao'er will come over in a couple of days. Now it just happens to be used..."

"Is it Sister Zhao'er? I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her so much." The speaker was Xie Xin, the granddaughter of the second wife.

Xie Xin is good-looking and sweet-spoken. Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie only have a few grandsons but no granddaughters. In the past, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie treated Xie Xin as their own granddaughter and doted on her more than their grandsons.

Hearing Xie Xin's words, Mrs. Xie smiled.

After a while, the doorman came to report.

"The old man, the old lady, the cousin and the cousin-in-law are here."

Hearing this, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie brought their family members to the second gate to greet them.

When Gu Zhao walked to the second gate, he saw Old Master Xie, Old Madam Xie, several aunts, and his third uncle.

"Grandfather, grandmother..."

Gu Zhao called out to the elders.

Old Madam Xie held Gu Zhao's hand tightly, and Aunt Xie Eldest and Aunt Xie Third also looked at Gu Zhao with joy.

"Grandpa, grandma..." Qin Chen also greeted everyone.

Seeing the Prince of Qin, Old Master Xie was even more delighted.

"Okay, okay, please come in, my lord."

Second Old Master Xie, Second Madam and others looked at Qin Chen and were very excited.

This is the son of Qinhou? The son of Qinhou who was appointed as a third-rank official before the age of 20?

Xie Xin looked at Qin Chen with unstoppable amazement in her eyes.

During the days she had been in the capital, she had heard a lot about things happening there.

But what shocked her the most was that the Prince of Qin, at such a young age, had become a third-rank official, which was higher than any official she had ever seen.

Soon, we arrived at the hall.

Gu Zhao bowed again to Old Master Xie and the others.

"Get up quickly."

Qin Chen also saluted.

"Please get up, my lord."

Uncle Xie San quickly helped Qin Chen up and did not let him kneel down.

Qin Chen stood up and said with a smile.

"Grandfather, grandmother, don't call me Prince from now on. Just call me Chen'er."

"Good good."

Second Old Master Xie and Second Old Madam Xie heard that Gu Zhao and Qin Chen were talking to Old Master Xie and the others and were ignoring their family, and they immediately felt unhappy.

"Zhao girl, I am your great-uncle, and this is your great-uncle."

Hearing what Old Master Xie said, Gu Zhao looked at him, suppressed the hatred in his heart, and saluted them.

"Get up quickly." Old Master Xie looked at Gu Zhao proudly, and then his eyes turned to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen ignored them.

Old Madam Xie was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare show it.

"Are you my brother-in-law? I'm Xie Xin. I heard that you're very capable..." Xie Xin looked at Qin Chen with admiration and sparkling eyes.
