Domineering Female State Advisor

1How could he not be excited? When this unfilial daughter of his was useful, he would always curry favor with her. If he was useless, he would become his wife and beat up her mother … It was not that he did not see it, but he was too lazy to care about the matters in the backyard.    

    

Now that this mother and son pair had come to plead on his behalf, he only felt his mood churning non-stop as his heart throbbed with pain. Were these two his true relatives?    

    

Before he could finish his words, Madam Ye had already started cursing at the two men who were running over with tears in their eyes.    

    

"Qin Siyu, why are you crying so much? Do you want to get Old Master's care so that we can give you the rest of the family's inheritance? Why aren't you withdrawing these people?"    

    

Qin Siyu was stopped outside the door and was conversing with the person guarding the gate. Lucky's small body was hugged by a guard and he kept struggling to call for his grandfather to let him go …    

    

With tears in his eyes, Qin Zhengxiong turned around and yelled at his wife:    

    

"Shut up! "You ignorant woman, you are awesome at home, bullying Third Branch Madam all the time, don't think that I don't know, if you have the ability to send black clothed men away, I'll die from anger!"    

    

She even kicked him when she was done teaching him. He was the only one who would ask for money when his daughters came home. His sons would stay at home all day, and he would even marry a few of them!    

    

"Wuu …" "Master ~"    

    

Madam Qin walked into the courtyard sobbing. The Second Madam had long since disliked her and had finally seen the old master hit her today. At this moment, she was complacently adding insult to injury:    

    

"Elder sister, don't cry anymore. It's not good to disturb the Old Ancestor's rest. As the head of the household, you really can't let me relax!"    

    

"You ~"    

    

"Big sister, don't tell me you're going to let second big sister be the boss?"    

    

At this moment, Fourth Wife also interjected. How could she be missing out on a good show?    

    

All three of them had sons, while Qin Siyu was the only one of the fourth wife. Qin Siyu was the only one who was most upset, the only one childless one being Master Qin's new concubine from four years ago. She was the only one in the audience who didn't cry or make a ruckus.    

    

"If I'm not the boss, it's not up to you guys. I still have my fifth sister."    

    

Ignoring the matter at the back courtyard of the Qin family, Qin Siyu's interaction with the few guards outside was equally fruitless. The reason why they didn't bother with her was because she was Ji Quan's wife. As for everything else, they kept quiet.    

    

"Madam, the old master is about to arrive. You should go back to the courtyard and wait for him, don't come out and cause trouble, and bring the young master back too. If anything goes wrong, we can't explain it to the old master."    

    

"Mom, I want grandpa, I want grandpa!" For some reason, Lucky seemed to have different feelings for Qin Zhengxiong. He had never once asked for anyone.    

    

"Then why don't you lock us in as well? Let Lucky see my dad. He's been arguing! He won't let us see him! He's crying!"    

    

"Madam, please go back. We really have no way out. We don't know if Qin Zhengxiong is guilty or not yet. You should stay far away from him. I'll send you back."    

    

The guard also didn't want to continue the conversation. They had never learned how to deal with family matters.    

    

Right now, the Qin Residence was completely surrounded by the army. There were mighty soldiers everywhere, and this group of people were even more powerful than the ordinary soldiers.    

    

"General Wang, this is Lord Ji's letter!"    

    

Outside the door, a general handed a booklet to Wang Hu. He took it and read it before closing it again, "Go and send a team of people to escort Lord Ji back to Qin Manor. Squad Fourteen, follow me!"    

    

Probably no one would have thought that the location where Ji Quan hid the explosives was the Qin family.    

    

This was also related to Dongfang Ning's explanation back then. The matter regarding the gunpowder had to be kept a secret, and only Ji Quan knew about it, so all that was left in the City Lord's Mansion were the explosives used to deal with the beast soldiers.    

    

Furthermore, the strength displayed at that time was not that great, so the sound it made was very frightening.    

    

The sedan chair that went to pick up Ji Quan was already outside the door. The soldiers seemed not to have noticed that the sedan was full of arrows as they respectfully saluted the sedan chair and shouted,    

    

"Lord Ji, here we are ~"    

    

There was no movement on the palanquin, and no one was in a hurry either. They just made the palanquin stop outside the door, as if waiting for the people on the palanquin to wake up. This scene made everyone look at each other; if Lord Ji wasn't on the palanquin, wouldn't he have been shot like a sieve?    

    

Everyone did not know what was going on, but no one dared to ask. Tens of thousands of soldiers, ah, it took almost an hour for the division of troops to complete the task force. They had never seen so many orderly troops before.    

    

Now, all of them were curiously watching this scene, was Lord Ji dead or not?    

    

An hour later, the sound of an opening could be heard from behind. A group of palanquins were approaching the Qin Residence. From afar, the sound of an opening could be heard:    

    

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"    

    

Within the army, a great general wearing copper shoulder armor waved his hand. Hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed towards the sedan chair, blocking it three hundred steps away from Qin Manor.    

    

"Get down from the palanquin!" Who are you people, and what are you doing here? "    

    

These soldiers were full of killing intent. They had all fought before, so their aura naturally made people feel oppressed.    

    

The fake officials on the palanquin were so frightened that they were trembling. However, they couldn't help but pretend to be officials … He could not help but pat the wall of the sedan.    

    

The guards beside the sedan immediately roared at the company, "Insolent! Our lord is here to welcome you all back to the city. Why don't you all hurry up and give way!"    

    

Zhong Zhiwei glared at him and said in a loud voice:    

    

"Lord Ji has to travel day and night to arrive at Heaven's End City, so he's resting when he's tired. You guys should wait for him to wake up first."    

    

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the several hundred spearheads immediately pointed at the palanquin in front of him.    

    

The sedan bearers and guards were scared and quickly retreated. What should they do now?    

    

They had never seen anything like this before. The team that was originally full of fighting spirit, now had their heads down. They couldn't leave, and it was even more impossible for them to move forward.    

    

After a long while, a guard turned to the palanquin and bowed his head while cupping his hands.    

    

"Lord, since Lord Ji is resting, why don't we go back and wait?"    

    

The sedan chair team left silently.    

    

In the backyard of the Qin family, in the side yard where Qin Siyu lived, a group of soldiers were carefully carrying things up from a dry well, as if they were carrying some peerless treasure.    

    

"Be more gentle, Lord Ji said that he will make sure they blow people up into the air. Be careful, be careful ~"    

    

At the side, Qin Siyu was holding her son as she watched this scene from afar. Ji Quan was back, so she wanted to calm him down … Was she blaming him?    

    

"Mother, I'm scared!"    

    

"Don't worry, these uncles are your dad's subordinates. They're very good. Do you like their armor? Look!"    

    

Qin Siyu pointed at the soldiers standing guard around her. Each of their domineering looks had long stunned this four-year-old child. Although he said he was scared, he was full of admiration for them.    

    

"Grandfather said that during the war, there was such a thick layer of armor, and it was this big!" He raised his small hand and gestured at what he thought was a very large object.
