5259 Chapter 5259 matters of the Qing family (asking for a monthly pass)
Yun chujiu knew that the old ancestor of the Lan family was preparing to deal with her at night.
This fellow was not afraid at all. Anyway, the old Fox could not beat her up. At most, she would cry, make a fuss, and hang herself!
Thus, this fellow returned to the shop in high spirits.
When the old shopkeeper saw that Yun Chujiu had returned safely, he revealed a somewhat relieved expression.
Yun chujiu rolled her eyes and said to the old shopkeeper, “Old man, I want to buy some high-grade spirit tools. Why don’t we talk in private?”
The old shopkeeper was experienced and naturally understood that Yun chujiu wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him in private. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss, please follow me to the second floor to take a look.”
When the two of them reached the second floor, the old shopkeeper said apologetically, “I’m really sorry to have implicated you in the previous matter.”
Yun chujiu smiled and said, “It has nothing to do with you. It’s that Qing Jin who is looking for trouble. I’m not afraid of her!”
The old shopkeeper had already heard about Yun chujiu’s identity from the onlookers. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Miss, although your Lan family is quite powerful, this is still the Qing family’s territory after all.
“Moreover, the Qing family is now in a period of trouble, and the second branch is extremely overbearing. It’s better to be careful.”
Yun Chujiu’s heart moved slightly, and she said, “Previously, I heard your conversation with Qing Jin. It seems that you are a member of the Qing family’s eldest branch. Why are the second branch so arrogant? Aren’t they afraid of being punished by the Master of the Qing Family?”
The old shopkeeper wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he did not want to say anything more.
Yun chujiu could understand. After all, this was a private matter of the Qing family, and it was not appropriate to tell outsiders.
However, she could tell from what had just happened that this old shopkeeper was loyal to the Qing family. She could start from there.
Hence, she sighed and said, “Sigh, it is common for families of large families to fight each other.
“You also know the reputation of our Lan family. There are countless cases like this. Therefore, I can completely understand the feelings of the old man.”
The Lan family had always been famous for internal strife. Therefore, the old shopkeeper let down some of his guard when he heard this. He also had no one to complain to. He clenched his teeth and said,
“Although there are quite a number of collateral branches of the Qing family, the main branch and the second branch are the only direct descendants.
The head of the Qing family has not decided on the next head of the Qing family, so the main branch and the second branch have been managing the Qing family’s property together, so it is quite peaceful.
However, in the past two years, the head of the Qing family has appeared less and less, and the second branch has been regarded more highly.
The second branch has also become more arrogant, brazenly stealing the properties of the main branch.
It is said that in two days, the second branch’s Qing Zhenghe will be announced to the public as the next head of the Qing family. When that time comes, the people of the main branch will definitely be driven out of the ancestral house, and their lives may not even be saved.”
“Then, the Master of the Qing family will just let it go? The eldest branch will just let the second branch bully them without retaliating?”Yun chujiu asked, puzzled.
“Sigh, this is the order of the master. What can the eldest branch do? ! Moreover, the eldest branch was originally prosperous, but they were stupid, disabled, and missing. Even if they wanted to fight with the second branch, they wouldn’t be able to win.”The shopkeeper sighed.
Yun Chujiu’s eyes flashed, stupid stupid? Disabled? Missing? It was most likely the second branch’s doing!
The old shopkeeper sighed and said, “Miss, it’s fine if you listen to these things. I advise you to leave this fog valley city quickly! Otherwise, the second branch will take revenge.”
