After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1229 The Qin Family Wants to Take Power

"Wait a minute," Grandpa Qin called out to Uncle Qin, "Dad will go with you."

"No!" Uncle Qin said anxiously, "Father, you are already old and have just gone through a tough battle. You are exhausted. Please stay and rest well. Don't worry your son."

"Stop arguing, you two go." Qin Xiaomi put down the silver needles, picked up her pen and wrote a letter, saying, "Grandpa put on his armor, rode out of the city, and warmly welcomed the Wei people and the mountain people into the city."

Uncle Qin looked at her, his expression complex, and said, "He's your own grandfather..."

Are you trying to work him to death?
Qin Xiaomi: "If it weren't for Da Bao'er, Aunt, and Grandma, I would be the one leading the troops out of the city on horseback. Second Uncle, do you want me to go or Grandpa?"

"Grandpa will go." Grandpa Qin was really afraid of this granddaughter. What kind of girl would ride out of the city to pick someone up?

Uncle Qin still had some filial piety and tried to stop him, saying, "Father, you've already worked hard and need to rest."

However, he has an unconventional niece, Qin Xiaomi, who says, "For someone who practices martial arts, what's a little skirmish? Not urinating blood means you can still fight..."

"Ancestor, please, stop talking." Uncle Qin's face turned red, and he wished he could cover her mouth... How could his steady and gentle elder brother have given birth to such a daughter? What a tragedy!
Qin Xiaomi ignored him and continued writing the letter, instructing her grandfather, "Grandpa, our family has made a great contribution, so we must let the whole city know. Only a fool would do something like making a contribution and keeping it a secret."

She looked at Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin: "Uncle's status is different now. If Aunt wants to live and to secure her position as Princess of Ye, our family must take control."

“If we don’t hold power, even if we defeat the Eastern Desert people, our family will be wiped out after the war… Only when the family of the Prince of Ye’s father-in-law is gone can a new family of the Prince of Ye’s father-in-law appear.”

My uncle is now a tempting target; powerful families with daughters all want to pounce on him... It's not that they like my uncle; what they want is his throne.

This?
Grandpa Qin closed his eyes, then opened them again, looking at Grandma Qin, who was fast asleep after taking the medicine, and then at Qin Xiaomi and Uncle Qin: "Ever since I retired from the army and returned to my hometown, all I've ever thought about is that the whole family is together, that we have enough to eat and drink, and that we have land to cultivate."

In his youth, he fought hard, but he lost, and now he just wants to live a peaceful life.

Unexpectedly...

"Don't worry, Grandpa still has the courage and skill, and he's not too old. He can still fight. So, Xiaomi, don't worry too much."

He glared at Uncle Qin and said, "You better make me proud and do something worthwhile. Xiaomi is fighting so hard because the men in our family are incompetent. If you were any more capable, Xiaomi, a young woman, wouldn't need to fight with a knife!"

Is this risking one's life? It's murder.

Even a normal man wouldn't kill someone, let alone a young woman.

Once you're involved in someone's death, no matter the reason, people will only avoid you.

Why is the old woman holding Xiaozhu and crying?

It's because the girl in my family killed someone with a knife!

Even if it was out of desperation, once someone starts killing, they are no longer a normal person.

Grandpa Qin was heartbroken, but he dared not show it.

Qin Xiaomi naturally understood the old man's worries and said frankly, "Grandpa, now that the enemy is invading, if we want to live, we have to start killing."

"Grandpa has also read history books. At the end of the Dayong Dynasty, when the enemy army broke through the border, what were the fates of those noble ladies who dared not even pick up a sword to kill?"

Emperor Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty was a great ruler. After ascending the throne, he overruled objections and allowed commoners to buy and read history books.

This was actually a very dangerous thing, because if too many people understood history books, they would be less likely to be deceived, and the court would be harder to govern. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty allowed commoners to read history books, which was a groundbreaking and unprecedented move.

Because Qin Ershu was going to take the imperial examination, the Qin family also had history books, which they copied from the old scholar Jiang without paying any money.

“Grandpa, killing is a great evil, but killing the enemy is a great good. Our family is a family of great good in killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions. You and Grandma don’t need to worry about anything.” Qin Xiaomi said solemnly at the end, “I’m perfectly normal.”

Haha, even Uncle Qin is laughing, and you're still acting normal? You're getting stabbed like a sieve by Grandpa Qin and Qin Xiaomi's glares.

"Father, I was wrong. I will work hard to support our family and let my parents, sister, nephews and nieces enjoy a good life, without having to resort to weapons anymore, just strolling in the garden chasing butterflies." Uncle Qin lowered his head to admit his mistake, afraid that he would be beaten by the grandfather and grandson.

"Master!" Ye Xifen's voice rang out from outside. She had taken a nap and was now in much better spirits. She was kneeling in the courtyard outside the house, injured, begging to see Qin Xiaomi.

Zhu Yiqing, Xu Azheng, Xiao Baiying, Lu Qingan and others hurriedly came out of the same room: "Master Ye, why are you suddenly running out instead of resting?"

Lu Qing'an, a female physician from the palace, was quite dissatisfied at this moment and said to Ye Xifen: "Master Ye, if you have something to say, you should report it and speak to her after being summoned. Kneeling to beg for an audience is an act of coercing your master. In the palace, you would have been beheaded long ago."

You also came from the palace, how could you make such a brainless mistake?

However, intelligent people always make mistakes intentionally.

Qin Xiaomi glanced at Grandma Qin and Jiang Xiaozhu. Hmm, the medicine really works; they're sleeping so soundly.

Qin Xiaomi opened the door and came into the courtyard. She said to Lu Qing'an, "Remember this. Ye Xifen broke the rules. She will be fined half a year's wages and given twenty strokes of the cane. The punishment will be carried out after her injuries have healed."

"Yes." Lu Qing'an noted it down.

Ye Xifen: "This servant accepts the punishment and thanks the master for his mercy."

Qin Xiaomi then asked, "What is it? Tell me."

Ye Xifen: "This servant requests permission to don armor, ride a horse, and go out of the city on behalf of the master to welcome the villagers, female workers, mountain families, and supplies from the herbal medicine shop into the city to avoid the calamity of war."

"My master is the niece of the Prince of Ye and his wife. Due to her reputation, she cannot do many things herself. But I dare to do them and am capable of doing them. I beg my master to give me the opportunity to do something meritorious for my master and for the heroines."

After saying that, Ye Xifen slammed her forehead heavily against the floor tiles.

The lady is right; Qin Su is too lazy to compete for profit.

But how can one not fight for profit?!
This was a golden opportunity, but Qin Su only pushed the men of the Qin family forward to seize credit and profit. But no matter how much the men of the Qin family seized, it was still theirs.

Why should the men of the Qin family bear the fruits of the Qin family's labor?!
Ye Xifen really wanted to take a knife and cut open Qin Su's brain to see why the other party would do such a stupid thing as making concessions.
Qin Xiaomi: "..."

Qin Xiaomi crossed her arms in front of her chest, circled around Ye Xifen, and finally, slapped her shoulder wound twice.

Ye Xifen didn't even let out a hiss.

"Impressive! You can withstand such pain. You're got the makings of a female general," Qin Xiaomi praised her.

Ye Xifen: "I am not in pain, I can endure it, and I can still fight if we encounter an enemy."

Powerful and resolute.

Qin Xiaomi: "You want to do this? Have you thought it through? You'll never change your mind?"

Thump! Ye Xifen kowtowed again, saying, "This servant has made it clear that this vow will never change, for all eternity. I beg you, Master, to give this servant a chance!"

Qin Xiaomi: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, as the host, I naturally have to support you."

Ye Xifen was shocked that he agreed to her request so readily.

"Thank you very much, Master. I will repay you with all my might!" Ye Xifen was very happy. She had finally gotten the opportunity to stand in for the Qin family girl, go to the actual battlefield, and make a real contribution.

She also wanted to thank the lady.
