Seeing this, Qin Yining finally understood what was going on.
Was Qiu Feishan planning to kill two birds with one stone, or kill many birds with one stone?
Deceiving her to this point to talk about a big cooperation, she somewhat believed this sentence. Otherwise, the Four-Way Signal would not have used all means to send money to the army in the old capital.
But what about the rest?
Qin Yining had seen many people who were good at scheming, but Qiu Feishan was the only woman who was as unpredictable as her. Even she was forced to be led by the nose several times.
Was this scene of punishing Qiu Feizhen deliberately played by Qiu Feishan for her to see? She wanted to let her know that in order to express her sincerity, Qiu Feishan, who had not returned to Jianchuan for a long time for various reasons, had come back, and was fighting with her Second Uncle who was in power, and so fiercely.
Qin Yining was expressionless, making up his mind not to show his thoughts.
At this time, not far away, there was the sound of beating boards and Qiu Feizhen's wails.
Qiu Yuanqing angrily said, "Qiu Feishan, do you really not care about your cousin's life?"
Qiu Feishan said, "Second Uncle, don't push the problem to me. If it weren't for you, Cousin Zhen wouldn't have done such a thing. Qiu Family has ancestral teachings and family rules, if you really violate the family rules, you can only be punished according to the ancestral rules. It's not like I care about Cousin's life, Cousin can be exempted from punishment. "
Qiu Yuanqing's face turned red, but he couldn't refute. Qiu Feishan's tone was the same as Qin Yining's tone just now, he couldn't help but curse in his heart again, this kind of smart woman was the most annoying.
"I don't want to argue with you, but you killed your own family for outsiders, I will definitely report this matter to the elders!"
"Second Uncle, why don't you report to Grandfather? Why hasn't my grandfather appeared in the past two years? " Qiu Feishan's tone suddenly became sharp, and her eyes were unprecedentedly sharp. Compared with her indifferent appearance just now, Qiu Feishan's aura was as cold as ice, completely different from her usual gentle appearance.
Qin Yining was a little surprised that Qiu Feishan would be so anxious when talking about the Qiu Clan's Patriarch who had been in seclusion for more than two years.
It seemed that the Qiu Family's waters were very deep. What was the reason for the Family Head's seclusion? Why did Qiu Feishan not return to Sword Creek for more than two years? Why did she expand the Four-Way Shop in recent years and even extend her tentacles to the Imperial Court? All of these questions were worth investigating.
While Qin Yining is deep in thought, someone has already replied to Qiu Feishan's words.
"Miss, Qiu Feizhen has fainted. Do you need a doctor? "
Qiu Fei Shan looked at the person lying motionless on the ground in the distance, "According to the rules of the clan, it is common sense for those who violate the rules to be kicked out. There's no need to call a doctor. "
"Yes." The attendant very obediently returned to stand behind Qiu Feishan.
Qiu Feizhen was lying on the ground and no one cared about her.
Qiu Yuanqing was just about to order someone to save Qiu Feizhen and send her to a doctor, but on second thought, he was worried that Qiu Feishan would insist that he was the one who instigated Qiu Feizhen. Seeing Qiu Feizhen end up like this, he felt guilty and decided to help a sinner of the clan.
After all, the Qiu Family has used the family law many times before, and he has never been soft-hearted.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yuanqing dispelled the idea.
Qiu Feishan unfolded the sandalwood fan in her hand and waved it, her clear eyes full of contempt.
Then she took a step forward with her hands behind her back. Although her voice was not loud, it was enough for Qiu Yuanqing to hear clearly.
"Second Uncle is also clear about the rules between the 'Prominent Family' and the 'Hidden Family'. As a 'Prominent Family', the Lu Family has been abiding by the rules of their ancestors for two hundred years, maintaining a neutral position in the Imperial Court. Only in this way can the 'Prominent Family' stand tall.
"However, the new head of the family, Lu Heng, has broken the balance. He has already expressed his support for Li Qitian in the Imperial Court, so the Lu Family will live and die with Li Qitian.
"The 'Prominent Family' is already in decline. According to the rules of our ancestors, it is time for our 'Hidden Family' to replace them. Otherwise, if we wait for others to take action to end the Prominent Family, then it will truly be the end.
"The rules set by our ancestors are that the sun rises and the moon falls, the moon rises and the sun hides, so that the bloodline of our entire family will not fall. The reason why I invited the Prince Zhongshun is to follow the rules of our ancestors, to stand firm in the Imperial Court, and to prepare for the transformation of the Hidden Family into a Prominent Family. "
Qiu Feishan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiu Yuanqing: "But Second Uncle disregarded the development of the clan, and repeatedly offended my distinguished guest. Does Second Uncle want to be the sinner of the Qiu Family? "
"Who do you think we should choose?" Qiu Yuanqing sneered, "You chose Prince Zhongshun, but does the family have to approve of him?"
"There are a few heroes in the world today. Today is one, Prince Zhongshun is one, Prince Consort Ji, who is currently fighting with the Tatan, is one, and Si Qin of the Tatan is also one. Si Qin is an outsider, so if we don't consider him, then there are only three people left.
"Among the three, Prince Zhongshun is the most capable and resourceful. Not only does he have the ability to kill, but he also has a benevolent heart. This kind of person is most worthy of our support. If we don't choose him, does Second Uncle have other candidates? Does Second Uncle want to completely disregard the interests of the family because of his own personal interests? "
Speaking to here, Qiu Feishan suddenly turned to Qin Yining. She lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down, respectfully giving a big bow.
The attendants and guards who came with Qiu Feishan also dismounted and knelt down together. Their movements were neat and uniform. Although it was silent, it was particularly imposing.
Qiu Feishan's forehead was on the ground, and she firmly kowtowed three times, then said: "Princess, I represent the Qiu Family to express our support and support to Prince Zhongshun and Princess. From now on, I will follow you loyally and do my best. I ask everyone here to bear witness to this! "
The people who followed Qiu Feishan also knelt down.
At this time, Qin Yining was stunned in place, unable to say a word.
The concept of "prominent families" and "hidden families" that Qiu Feishan mentioned just now was spinning in her mind.
So the Lu Family and the Qiu Family actually had this kind of relationship!
Don't look at how one of them had the surname Lu and the other had the surname Qiu. Dating back more than a hundred years ago, perhaps they both had the surname Lu or Qiu, or perhaps they both had other surnames.
No matter what their surnames were, this family's bloodline had been passed down. The two surnames came from the same family, one part was prominent and the other part was hidden. Both sides developed their own forces. Once the prominent families fell, the hidden families could immediately replace them. They could protect the prominent families, and even be the driving force to crush the prominent families. In this way, they could alternately preserve the strength of the family.
The ancient people cared about family and surname. Few people could change their surname like this.
But the Lu Family and the Qiu Family could do it according to the rules of their ancestors.
Looking at Qiu Feishan in front of her, Qin Yining once again felt that she had fallen into a trap.
Qiu Feishan was forcing the Prince Zhongshun's faction to bind with them. The Qiu Family was so powerful. If Qiu Feishan took the initiative to show goodwill, would she and Pang Xiao be stupid enough to push people away? If they pushed people away, what if they chose another opponent?
Therefore, after the last time the Sitong Army sponsored the army, they once again fell into Qiu Feishan's net.
Originally, this was a mutually beneficial matter, so there was nothing to lose. But this way of making them submit really made Qin Yining unhappy.
Just as Qin Yining was at a loss, the sound of wheels rolling suddenly came from the empty and quiet valley.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a black flat headed carriage, surrounded by a group of awe-inspiring men slowly coming over.
Qin Yining did not see anything different about the carriage.
But Qiu Feishan who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up. She looked at the carriage with eyes full of surprise and quickly went to greet it.
Qiu Yuanqing was also shocked and quickly went to greet it.
When the carriage came closer, Qin Yining found that the Qiu Family emblem on the carriage was different from the one he saw a few days ago. Perhaps the golden leaf on the emblem represented the identity of the Qiu Family's patriarch?
"Grandfather!"
The carriage stopped. Before the people inside could get off, Qiu Feishan ran over to greet them. At this time, it could be seen that Qiu Feishan was a young and lively girl. Her cheerful appearance could not be hidden.
In contrast, Qiu Yuanqing seemed a bit more serious. He did not seem happy, and Qin Yining caught a hint of panic on his face.
"Grandfather, is it you? Are you alright? "Qiu Feishan stood in front of the carriage and anxiously lifted the curtain.
But before her slender and fair hand could touch the curtain, the dark blue curtain had already been lifted by an old hand.
A white-haired old man in a brown robe with a round collar and large sleeves was sitting inside, looking at Qiu Feishan disapprovingly.
Qiu Feishan did not notice the old man's displeasure and called out in surprise, "Grandfather!"
Qiu Yuanqing also smiled at this time, "Father, you came out?"
Qiu Guang gave Qiu Yuanqing a meaningful look. That look was too sharp, and before he said anything, Qiu Yuanqing immediately lowered his head in fear.
Qiu Feishan saw Qiu Yuanqing like this and her smile became even brighter, "Grandfather, why are you here? Your granddaughter helped you get off the carriage? How have you been these two years? "
Qiu Feishan had lost contact with Qiu Guang for two whole years. She lost her parents when she was young and was raised by her grandfather, so the relationship between her and Qiu Guang was naturally deep. Qiu Feishan did business and often went out, so Qiu Feishan and Qiu Guang had their own secret code to prevent others from pretending to be each other.
However, two years ago, the code on the letter disappeared. He tried to fool her several times, but she did not fall for it. Not long after, the main family spread the news that Qiu Guang was thinking about something and had to go into seclusion to think.
Qiu Feishan was anxious because she knew what kind of personality her Second Uncle had. If he did not do well, he would seize power and harm her grandfather.
