The patriarch looked very unhappy.

He was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Every word my niece said makes sense. It was my uncle who did a bad job and failed to lead the tribe well."

"The Qin family is where we are today thanks to Jing Yuan's support. But over time, this kindness has long been taken for granted by the family members."

"It is true that people have closeness and distance in their hearts. But as a human being, we must first learn to distinguish right from wrong."

His eyes were red as he looked at the clan elders and younger generations who were silently surrounding him, as well as Qin Anwen, who had a sinister look in his eyes and was full of indignation. He sighed and said, "Well, today is the day to open the ancestral hall. Let's take this opportunity to have the whole clan express their stance, so that there will be no more disputes in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall with unsteady steps.

Qin Shu followed closely behind with her people and carriage.

The clan leader walked in front with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Jingchang's wife should come too."

Qin Anwen struggled and refused to leave, but Liu Yinghua pulled him hard to follow.

Because the clan temple was going to be opened today, almost all the clan members who could return rushed back.

A quarter of an hour later, a large crowd of people gathered in front of the ancestral hall.

Seeing that everyone was present, the clan leader pointed at Liu Yinghua and her son and said, "Jingchang's wife came to the clan years ago, and everyone knows about it. It's no secret that she moved into Jingyuan's old house with Anwen."

"Before the opening of the ancestral temple today, everyone should come and express their opinions. Those who agree that An Wen and his wife should continue to stay in the clan should stand on one side, and those who agree to expel them from the clan should stand on the other side."

After saying that, the patriarch poked the cane in his hand and stood on the side of agreement.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

Qin Shu stood beside the clan leader and watched coldly.

Two breaths later, some people in the crowd began to walk towards the patriarch, and then more tribesmen came over here.

Qin Anqi stood opposite with his neck stiffened.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and after some hesitation, several cousins ​​stood beside Qin Anqi.

An uncle who had walked to the side of the clan leader saw this, ran over, grabbed his son's ear, and dragged him out of the crowd.

The remaining few people looked around and were about to move when Qin Shu suddenly said, "Okay, since everyone has chosen their own position, I will also make it clear today."

"My father, Qin Jingyuan, received the Qin family's protection and care and raised him. Over the years, he has never forgotten the kindness of his clan members and has given back to his hometown and benefited the people in the village. He opened a clan school to benefit the Qin family for generations; he bought sacrificial fields to solve the worries of the clan members."

"Which one of you didn't benefit from this? When you took in Liu Yinghua and her son, did you ever think about whether you felt guilty towards my parents?"

She looked at Liu Yinghua, sneered, and said, "Before Daddy started his business, you know better than me what Grandfather's family situation was like. Your family can live a good life, and your two cousins ​​can find famous teachers and learn from them. Who did you thank for that?"

"But what about you? Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also plotting to murder my parents, coveting my wealth, destroying my reputation, and finally trying to kill me to silence me and wipe out the entire clan!"

"You are such a heartless and ungrateful person. You deserve what you have done now!"

"What qualifications do you have to hate me? How can you have the nerve to hate me?"

Qin Anwen's eyes were bloodshot, and he broke free from Liu Yinghua's embrace with a grin, and rushed towards Qin Shu, "It's you, this bad woman, who has ruined our family. I'm going to kill you!"

"Mo Laowu!" Qin Shu shouted, "Teach him a lesson!"

The rough man Mo Laowu, who used to call Fu Rong brother, could no longer hold back his fists. He grabbed Qin Anwen by the collar and dragged him back.

Another guard also rushed forward.

After a round of punches and kicks, Qin Anwen's screams rang out in front of the ancestral hall.

Liu Yinghua rushed towards Qin Shu like a madman, but was kicked away by Fu Ying.

She rolled and crawled to Qin Anwen's side, trying to stop him while crying, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Wen'er..."

Qin Shu glanced coldly at the Qin clan members in front of the door and said, "If anyone sympathizes with them, they can step forward to stop the fight."

Whoever advises will be beaten!

Qin Anwen's howling voice gradually became weaker.

Liu Yinghua, with her hair disheveled and tears streaming down her face, rushed to Qin Shu and yelled, "Qin Shu, you are so cruel! Wen'er is your brother. You will beat him to death if you do this!"

Qin Shu just found it funny and raised her eyebrows, "Brother? Liu Yinghua, when Qin Jingchang was killing my parents, did he ever think that Qin Jingyuan was his brother?"

Liu Yinghua's crying stopped for a moment, then she crawled to the clan leader, grabbed his clothes and cried, "Uncle, uncle, please save Wen'er, he is still a child, he is just a child..."

A child with such violent temper, he always talks about killing people.

It's true, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked!

The clan leader sighed deeply and silently pulled the corner of his clothes out of Liu Yinghua's hand bit by bit.

Liu Yinghua looked at her empty hands in despair and looked at other tribesmen while crying.

Whoever her eyes fell on would involuntarily take a step back.

On the other hand, the few people who had originally expressed their agreement with Liu Yinghua staying in the clan, after some hesitation and consideration, quietly gave up the idea of ​​begging for mercy.

It was not until Qin Anwen was silent that Qin Shu shouted, "Stop!"

Mo Laowu stopped punching and kicking, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Qin Anwen's face, and kicked him hard on the leg, "Bah, you little bastard!"

After dealing with Liu Yinghua and her son, Qin Shu turned her attention to the few people on the other side.

She knelt down towards the clan leader and said, "Uncle, do you still remember what the conditions were when I proposed to continue to support the clan school?"

The clan leader subconsciously glanced at the other party, nodded awkwardly, and said, "Of course I remember."

Qin Shu said: "Shu'er has long said that Qin Jingchang is the enemy who killed my father. This hatred is irreconcilable. Anyone who stands with him is my enemy."

"My father used money to support the clan school so that the students in the clan school could afford to read and learn to read, so that the clan members would not be buried in poverty and could make their own achievements. Since Shu'er is a member of the Qin family, she should follow her father's wishes."

"Shu'er gave money to support the clan school, not to let my enemies use my father's money to strengthen their own power and then turn around and bite me back."

"Since my uncles and cousins ​​have chosen to stand on the side of Liu's mother and son, they have chosen to stand against me, Qin Shu."

"They are all members of the Qin clan. Shu'er has no right to refuse their descendants from enrolling in school, but she has the right to decide that the money I provide cannot be used on them."

Qin Shu looked at Qin Anqi and the others whose faces suddenly changed, and continued, "Their family can study in the clan school, and all expenses must be borne by themselves. Uncle, is Shu'er's request too much?"
