<b>Chapter 440</b>


    The n head and n elders were hesitant as they looked at each other.


    The n head smiled as he advised. “A’ning, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term…”


    “Yes, Qin Xin is pregnant now… this matter has a hundred benefits and no harm to the Qin family.” A gray-haired n elder with a long beard hastily agreed.


    The n elders had long heard that Qin Xin was pregnant with the emperor’s eldest grandchild, so regardless of whether the child in Qin Xin’s womb was a boy or girl, this child would be the emperor’s first grandchild who would be loved by the emperor.


    Thus, expelling Qin Xin from the n was inappropriate; otherwise, was it not just offending the second prince?


    What if Qin Xin had the fortune of giving birth to the emperor’s eldest grandson?!


    Several n elders think that this matter could be discussed again after they wait and watch on how things develop, so why hurry.


    However, Qin Zening already made up his mind and would not change because of anyone’s persuasion.


    “Uncle, Qin Xin had a wed and ruthless character. She not only encouraged Madam Su to poison grandmother but she also…” Qin Zening’s eyes darkened and his voice became colder, “I suspect that Qin Xin may have killed grandfather!”


    “…”


    There was a moment of silence in the hall followed by an uproar. The n head and the elders looked at each other again.


    The n elder with a long beard could not help, but say, “Marquis, you are only suspicious without any evidence. Could it be that you are mistaken?”


    Others also followed suit and persuaded, “Yes, when your grandfather went there, Qin Xin was still not five years old. How could such a young girl kill someone!”


    “Marquis, I know what happened to your grandmother gave you the chills, but don’t let that make you wishy-washy.”


    “Madam Su’s viciousness and intent to poison her mother-inw is detestable, but your second uncle and Qin Xin are innocent in this matter.”


    “….”


    For the n head and these elders, regardless of whether Qin Zhun wanted to kill his mother or not, as long as there was no evidence, they all hoped that Qin Zhun was innocent. After all, if any of the descendants of the Qin family did such a heinous act, it would damage the family’s reputation.


    The n elders nodded one after the other, all standing on the same side. Qin Zhun’s brows were tightened as he listened to them.


    Soon, sparks were shot through the air.


    Seeing that they were about to argue, Qin Jiu smiled and spoke up, “n head, big brother, if we can’t talk about it today, why don’t we talk about it tomorrow? A’Yu will enter the pceter, he promised the Sixth Prince to apany him to horse training.”


    Qin Zeyu did not expect the subject would turn to him and could only instinctively nod. He did make an appointment with Gu Zhen today to enter the pce to y with him.


    Qin Jiu smiled and added. “The emperor and empress have gone on a winter hunt, while the sixth prince stayed alone in the capital, boring his mind out.”


    “A’yu, when you are free, you should go to the pce to apany His Highness to relieve his boredom.”


    “Leave it all to me.” Qin Zeyu’s eyes brightened up in a sh as he patted his chest.


    In recent months, he has been watched by his sister studying and practicing martial arts, and has no time to y. Even during this winter hunt, his brother and sister did not agree to let him go and he was almost suffocated by boredom.


    Meanwhile, Qin Jiu seemed to have just said this casually, but the n head and elders pondered as they looked at each other.
