Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”I’m old now. I’m not like how I was when I was young anymore. My movements are even slower. Look at me now. I’m trembling with every step I take. Alas, I’m old.

I’m really old.”

Old Madam Qin let out a long laugh.

When she was young, Old Madam Qin was a strong woman too. It was the same for the old madam. The two of them even worked together in the same department. The two strong personalities would more or less have some conflict when they were together.

Later on, they got married and had children. One got married to a diplomat while the other got married to an officer. Their family backgrounds were on par. Even if they didn’t compare themselves, their colleagues in the government department would compare them.

Moreover, the two of them were in the top three ladies in the organization. How could they not be compared to each other?

They weren’t enemies when they were young, but they didn’t interact with each other in private except when they were working—even when they got older.

The older generation knew that the two old madams didn’t get along when they were young. Even when they were old, they were still the same. Even though they had worked in the same department and sat in the same office, they never interacted.

Now that they had suddenly let bygones be bygones, it was no wonder that Aunt, Uncle, and the rest were shocked.

Everyone was shocked, but they didn’t show it on their faces. The people who came were guests and the elderly. The juniors had no right to interfere.

Very soon, the two old madams pulled each other and started chatting intimately. They were no longer as confrontational as before.

Behind them, the two old masters were also laughing and chatting. There was no grudge between the old masters. However, because their wives couldn’t tolerate each other previously, they had always kept a safe distance. They didn’t have a deep relationship. Otherwise, with their many overseas visits, they would definitely have a good relationship.

”Your Qin family is getting stronger every generation. The youngest diplomat in your family is a role model for young people. He’s so young, but he has the same demeanor as you when you were young. His future is limitless!”

The person who spoke was Old Master Xia. He praised Qin Xiu the moment he saw him. He wasn’t just being polite. He was really praising him.

The old master was most concerned about the country. How could the old master not know a young and promising diplomat like Qin Xiu who was fighting for the glory of the country?

He had even told the old madam many times, ”The Qin family is a little strange. Every generation, there’ll surely be an outstanding man, and there’ll also be a troublesome man. It’s still the same in this generation!”

In Qin Xiu’s father’s generation, the youngest son gave birth to an illegitimate child, Qin Yi. If it wasn’t for Qin Xiu’s father, Ambassador Qin Dingkang, who was quite capable, everyone would have known about it.

In Qin Xiu’s generation, the illegitimate son, Qin Yi, was an unreasonable person. He used the Qin family’s name to live a good life in the capital city. He was a typical good-for-nothing.

When Old Madam Ye heard this, she said, ”It is strange.” That was indeed the case. It was the same for every generation.

In Old Master Qin’s generation, his younger brother was the one who caused trouble. Back then, there was even a rumor that Ambassador Qin Dingkang’s younger brother was not his biological younger brother but the flesh and blood of Old Master Qin’s younger brother. Then, another illegitimate child was born.

However, this was all in the past. Besides the older generation, not many people in the younger generation knew about it. It was even more so for the new nobles in the capital. They didn’t dare to discuss the Qin family’s family matters.

It was even more impossible for Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia, who knew about it, to say anything.
