A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

The old lady's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Throughout the many years of trials and tribulations in the Qin family, she has never trembled, even when facing the current emperor.

But today she was truly frightened.

Heavenly Grade Elixir!

Once born, it will be a bloodbath!

At best, it could lead to the destruction of families and even death!

In severe cases, it could lead to the destruction of the nation and the ruin of the family!

No one in the world can resist the temptation of top-grade elixirs!

Even fewer people can withstand the crisis brought about by top-grade pills!

Qin Ze was equally surprised that the Heavenly Grade Pill would carry such power and radiance when it was taken out.

But he had already prepared his explanation.

"Grandmother, this was given to me in a dream by the Qin family's ancestor!"

"He couldn't bear to see the Qin family wiped out in my generation, so he passed on the Qin family's millennia-long legacy to me!"

"There's a prerequisite, though: you have to get married and have children to expand your family!"

After he finished speaking, the entire main hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Even the well-informed old lady was momentarily surprised and uncertain whether Qin Ze's words were true or false.

"So, your breakthrough to the third realm in three days was also a legacy from that senior?"

"Yes! He gave me this pill too! He asked me to give it to you, after all, you are the pillar of the Qin family!"

The old lady looked deeply at her grandson. The sincerity in his eyes and the dramatic changes in him recently made her somewhat suspicious, even though she was a woman of great experience.

"Okay, I'll accept this token of my appreciation!"

"Tell them I'm going into seclusion. In three days it will be the seventh day after your father and brother's death, which is also the matter of the memorial text that the third brother mentioned. You must hurry. When the third brother's family heard that your father and brother had died in battle, they came to me immediately, and their words implied that they wanted to annul the engagement!"

"Although I've managed to keep them in check, as long as you haven't dealt with the third son, the Su family could very well turn against the Qin family. Do you understand?"

"As for the boss, she doesn't have that much of a grudge against you. Give it your best shot, and if all else fails, I'll secretly give you some from my own coffers so you can make a profit!"

Qin Ze had always thought that his grandmother was upright and incorruptible and would not resort to such methods.

I never expected my grandmother to have such a trick up her sleeve.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fully confident!"

"Alright, you must hold on during my seclusion! The Qin family's crisis isn't just immediate; it extends to various factions in the martial arts world, and even more so to the imperial court!"

"Grandson understands!"

The old lady gave Qin Ze a deep look, nodded, took the jade box, turned around and walked to the backyard. She casually pressed a stone table, and a dark passage appeared before her eyes.

Qin Ze never expected that his family had such a secret.

When he walked out of the main hall, there were already many people outside.

Looking at those high-ranking officials and nobles who used to avoid the Qin family like the plague, now dressed in fine clothes and eager to investigate, Qin Ze sneered inwardly.

"Sister-in-law, could you please send these people away first?"

"As for what happened earlier, I'll tell you when I have a chance!"

"My lady, you are responsible for Grandmother's safety. Under no circumstances should anyone be allowed into the main hall. Grandmother is currently in seclusion!"

"Third Sister-in-law... you mustn't go back to managing those books for the Qin family..."

"Fourth Sister-in-law, could you please..."

……

"Eighth Sister-in-law, I understand that my dissolute lifestyle makes it difficult to change your mind, but at this moment, we share both glory and ruin..."

……

After making the arrangements, Qin Ze went back to his seclusion.

After all, the cultivation speed is a hundred times faster, and it only takes seven days!

Time waits for no one!

Everyone thought Qin Ze would rush to the front and block the people who came to investigate!

Unexpectedly, he simply left.

Most importantly, everyone felt that Qin Ze's arrangements were very reasonable!

It seems that's how it should be!

Shen Zhiwei watched Qin Ze's departing figure, sighed softly, and then walked out.

After all, as the eldest sister-in-law, there are some things that others cannot do, but she can.

On the first day, the visitors were just servants from aristocratic families and royal households, gathering information.

The next day, the stewards of those aristocratic families arrived, but this time they were there to attend the funeral!

In this way, Shen Zhiwei would not be able to send the person away!

On the third day! That is, the seventh day after Qin Ze's father and brothers were buried! The heads of those aristocratic families and royal noble families appeared.

Their title sounds better: "Mourning"!

Despite being called a memorial service, they chatted and laughed, clearly there to watch the spectacle.

Even some of the princes' sons looked at Shen Zhiwei and the others with undisguised fervor in their eyes!

The one under the most pressure is Liu Jinghong!

Although Shen Zhiwei had already blocked wave after wave of people who wanted to pay their respects to the old lady!

But when faced with princes and heads of powerful families, they were powerless to do anything!

Looking at Liu Jinghong, who was standing guard at the entrance of the main hall, Chen Shimei, the third young master of the Chen family, had eyes full of greed and anger.

When he first heard that the eight tigers of the Qin family had died in battle, he felt no sadness, only excitement. He even made preparations for how to take Liu Jinghong as his concubine.

The meat that was about to be eaten ended up being bitten on the tongue instead of being eaten!

How could this not make him angry!

He immediately gathered a group of scholars and thoroughly humiliated Liu Jinghong!

The other party's reputation is ruined, and the Qin family has kicked Liu Jinghong out. So, from now on, can't he do whatever he wants?

Thinking about it this way, Chen Shimei couldn't help but smile!

……

"Miss Liu! You are also the daughter of the Liu family, a military clan in the capital. Do you only know how to practice martial arts, but have no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame?"

"You married that playboy Qin Ze so hastily without the family's consent. The Qin family really does keep their wealth within the family!"

"That's right, we just wanted to pay our respects to the Old Madam, but we didn't expect you to prefer being a gatekeeper in the Qin family rather than standing up and acting like a human being!"

"Yes, no wonder General Liu has never come to see her before. This is utterly shameful..."

Faced with those hurtful words, Liu Jinghong gritted her teeth. She knew that these people were trying to anger her, and if she made a move, their backers would naturally follow suit.

As long as we openly and honestly drive her away, we can disturb the old lady's seclusion!

What they want to do is destroy the Qin family's pillar of strength!

Then they'll divide everything belonging to the Qin family!

Qin Ze listened to the noise outside and slowly opened his eyes.

A brilliant red light appeared in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

The body's Qi and blood flow like a vast ocean, ceaselessly surging and boundless!

Slightly circulate the energy!

The true energy was like a dragon or an elephant, surging along the meridians with an unstoppable force!

Peak of the Sixth Realm of Martial Arts!

A new scene every day!

He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the seventh realm!

Once he reaches the seventh realm, he is confident that he can withstand the attack of a tenth realm expert with his physical strength alone. If he adds the true energy in his body, he can completely kill a tenth realm expert with a weak foundation by surprise!

After washing off the mud and grime, she changed into a snow-white mourning outfit, wearing a mourning cap and a white sash around her waist. Her cloud-patterned boots had been sewn with white cloth by the servants long ago.

Today, he not only has to write an outstanding eulogy in front of his third sister-in-law, but also gain her complete approval!

Most importantly, he understood that today was also a day of celebration for the powerful families and nobles who had always been at odds with the Qin family, and those people might even resort to killing him today.

As long as he dies!

Then the Qin family is like a whale falling and all things growing!

Those who benefited the most were naturally the powerful families and nobles!

Slowly stepping out of the threshold!

The glaring sunlight made him squint slightly!

Soon, she heard voices mocking Liu Jinghong and Shen Zhiwei in the distance.

"Liu Jinghong, our Chen family's third young master has shown you great favor, and you refused to marry him through proper channels, instead choosing to be a concubine to that纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) Qin Ze. Do you have any sense of shame?"

Chen Shimei watched with great satisfaction as his lackey humiliated Liu Jinghong.

Looking into the other woman's eyes, which were like those of a female leopard, he became even more excited. Conquest, only conquest could reveal his charm!

"Jinghong, the Qin family is stagnant and completely finished, and Qin Ze is nothing but a pile of mud. Your insistence will only make you a laughingstock!"

"Beg me now, and I'll give you a chance, how about it?"

Liu Jinghong's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The sound was like a biting, cold wind!

"Bah! Even if I die, I'm willing to live and die with my husband!"

"As for you, you're incredibly arrogant, not even a fraction as good as my husband, yet you dare to come here causing trouble!"

"Once my husband emerges from the pass, he will surely kill you!"

Chen Shimei felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world!

"Hahaha... Qin Ze, that spoiled brat? He dares to do that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

A cold glint flashed in Qin Ze's eyes, and the power of the dragon and elephant erupted from his body. A terrifying pressure instantly locked onto his opponent, and his voice was as cold as ice from the deepest hell, each word spoken with deliberate force that sent shivers down one's spine:

"Those who insult my wife!"

"kill!"
