Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

The royal feast.

Everyone ate carefully, each with their own thoughts.

​ The commander-in-chief did not speak. The others also ate their dinner silently, not saying a word.

After a long time.

The commander-in-chief put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zhengxiao looked up and saw that he did not eat much, but not much either.

According to his age, this amount was just right.

He became more and more suspicious of the authenticity of his illness.

“I don’t have much time left either,”the commander suddenly said.

Everyone quickly prepared to put down their chopsticks and listen to the Commander’s words.

“You guys continue to eat. The family banquet will be fine as long as it’s casual,”the commander looked at them and said indifferently.

The others seemed to have figured out the meaning for a while before they continued to eat their dinner in a calm manner.

“I called everyone here to eat today because I feel that I won’t be able to stay by everyone’s side for long.”The commander sighed.

“Grandpa, you are still very strong.”Qin Zhengyang quickly said.

“Grandpa Knows Grandpa’s body the best.”The commander smiled and looked very amiable, which was rare. “You guys don’t have to comfort me all the time.”

Qin Zhengyang looked very helpless.

“I may only be around for this period of time. So today, while everyone is here, I will tell you about my funeral.”

When it came to the funeral.

Everyone became even more silent.

They did not dare to show any signs or make any moves. They could only behave themselves and remain calm.

“Zhengxiao.”The commander suddenly called him.

Qin Zhengxiao looked at him. “Yes, grandfather.”

“There are so many grandchildren. Grandfather knows that you have worked the hardest.”The commander said in an extremely gentle manner.

“It is my duty to share the burden with grandfather.”

“I have known since you were young that you are an obedient child. You have never caused trouble, and you do not like to be calculative with your other brothers. You are steady in your actions, and you are wise and resourceful. “In the future, when I leave, I’ll leave Northern Xia Kingdom to you. I’ll be most at ease.”The commander spoke in a vague manner, however, every word and sentence gave people the wrong message that he would hand his position to Qin Zhengxiao.

And this action undoubtedly made him the bull’s-eye. Everyone’s arrows would be pointed in his direction.

What a good plan, to use someone else’s knife to kill someone, and to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

“Grandfather, you flatter me. Zhengxiao still needs to learn more.”Qin Zhengxiao’s expression was serious, and every word was extremely respectful.

“Grandfather knows your abilities best. Zhengyang.”The commander turned his head to look at Qin Zhengyang. “You have been by grandfather’s side since young, but you still need to learn more for your second brother. You are the most impatient.”

“Yes, grandfather. I will follow second brother’s example.”Qin Zhengyang hurriedly nodded.

Qin zhengxiao pursed his lips tightly.

It seemed that tonight’s dinner was not that delicious.

The commander was deliberately creating conflicts, making him the target of everyone. His status and identity had already become the eyesore of the other heirs. At this moment, it was simply deepening all of his conflicts.

He knew very well what the commander meant. In such a situation, he had no way to refute.

“I won’t talk about the others. You’re not young anymore, so you all know what to do.”The commander-in-chief looked at the people at the table.

The others agreed and nodded.

However, many people’s unfriendly gazes were still fixed on Qin Zhengxiao.

“Oh right, Zhengnuan,”the commander-in-chief suddenly said.

“Grandpa.”A woman in her 20s quickly nodded, looking a little excited.
