Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Chapter 361 The Cause of Internal Struggle

Zhang Shouxu hugged the heartbroken woman tightly in his arms, his heart aching. He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, coaxing her softly, "Sister, don't cry. Let's eat first, okay? Sister, you haven't eaten this morning yet. Eating is important. After you finish eating, I will accompany you to think of a solution. Cotton Pudding is still hungry too."

In the end, it was the last sentence that made Qiuyue stop crying. She raised her head with sobs, and her face was almost crying, just like Zhang Daoqin just now. Zhang Shouxu did not feel disgusted or disgusted when he saw this. He just felt distressed. His most beloved person was always so gentle and kind. Even if she was deceived, she was only sad. Even her anger was as if she was not angry at all. She made him forget that she was the powerful Lord Linzu, and always treated her as a delicate child who needed to be protected under his wings.

"No more crying, no more crying."

Zhang Shouxu lowered his head and kissed Qiuyue's forehead gently, coaxing her softly. Qiuyue choked a few times again, then took out the whitening talisman to clean herself up.

Qiuyue found the meal tasteless. She only ate a small bowl and stopped eating. Zhang Shouxu wanted to pick up a spoon to feed her, but Qiuyue had no appetite. Zhang Shouxu coaxed her a few times but she only ate a few more bites and refused to eat anymore. Zhang Shouxu had no choice but to watch her go back to her bedroom to rest, while he picked up her bowl and cleaned up all the remaining food.

The cotton puddings didn't react when they saw this. They were worried about Qiuyue's mood and didn't pay much attention to Zhang Shouxu's behavior. Or rather, they didn't want to pay attention. After all, what would it matter if they paid attention? They couldn't do anything to him.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shouxu did not send cotton pudding to the carpenter again. He wanted to keep these two little guys to coax Qiuyue. Now he was only thinking about making her happy. He didn't want to see her sad.

And the facts proved that his decision was right. Qiuyue played with the cotton pudding all afternoon. Except for the sadness between her brows, there was at least a hint of smile on her face. This also made him feel relieved, and he secretly sighed that he was right not to send them away.

Time passed quickly. After the afternoon martial arts class, Qiuyue no longer went to the martial arts area. She didn't know how to face them, and the children stood blankly on the martial arts platform, staring at the palace, their faces still pale.

They were actually not in good shape the entire afternoon. Even though the head instructor reminded them sternly many times, it was of no use. If they hadn't cast their eyes in the direction of Qiuyue Palace from time to time, the head instructor would have thought they wanted to slack off.

Looking at the pale faces of this group of the most outstanding children in history, the head instructor sighed slowly and said leisurely as he left: "Since you have made a mistake, you should admit your mistake and apologize. Lady Linzu loves you so much, you shouldn't continue to hurt her feelings, alas..."

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, when he saw their torn clothes and messy hair when he came that afternoon, how could he not guess what had happened? He was well aware of the internal discord among these children, but he had ignored it because it had always been minor quarrels. After all, competition brings progress. But he never expected that this time the fight would reach this point. Although Qiuyue had healed their injuries with her healing power, the blood on their bodies was enough to show how fierce the fight had been.

How could he not know how brutal the children he taught were?

After the chief instructor left, Zhang Zhenxian, who was closest to the platform, wanted to jump off the platform and run towards Qiuyue's palace, but before he could take two steps, Zhang Zhenyi's hoarse voice rang out.

"Don't go yet. Sister hasn't eaten yet. Let's... clean ourselves up first."

Zhang Zhenxian was silent for a moment, after all, he listened to Zhang Zhenyi's words. At this moment, they no longer deliberately separated, but walked together in silence, walking back with heavy steps.

After an entire afternoon of inner pain and torture, they suddenly realized that they didn't really hate this group of people whom they used to dislike so much that they couldn't stay in the same place. They could still get along well, just like in front of her, they could stay together in harmony. There was really no need to pay too much attention to the difference between the main family and the outside family.

But they realized it too late.

After finishing dinner, Qiuyue sat down in the hall and waited quietly. Zhang Shouxu leaned over and gently kissed her cheek and lips, coaxing her in a low voice: "It's okay, they will tell the truth. If they don't tell the truth, I will let them all go tomorrow. They won't stay here and continue to make you sad. They don't deserve it."

Qiuyue lowered her eyes slightly, her brows furrowed with worry. She didn't want to give up on these children yet. She didn't believe that they were pretending when they smiled in front of her. She wanted to straighten them out and let them truly live in harmony.

If, if I really can't turn it around...

Qiuyue's eyes were faintly red again.

Then let them go...

The two little Cotton Puddings were just huddled on the table. They clearly saw Zhang Shouxu kissing Qiuyue, and they were completely shocked. Before, when Zhang Shouxu kissed Qiuyue, they were close to Qiuyue's feet, so they didn't see it, but now they were standing right in front of them, and they saw it clearly, which made them stunned.

Cotton Pudding: You bastard, you took advantage of your sister's sadness to act so recklessly!

Waiting is a very painful thing. Although the children came earlier than usual, Qiuyue felt that the time was extremely long. When they walked into the palace one after another, Qiuyue was a little afraid to look at them. She was afraid that she would cry uncontrollably when she looked at their extremely well-behaved faces in her impression.

Obviously, everything was fine yesterday...

"elder sister……"

Zhang Zhenyi walked in front. He looked at Qiuyue, whose brows were furrowed and still looked extremely sad, and his heart began to ache again. Qiuyue didn't look at him, but said in a hoarse voice: "Go get a blanket, everyone sit down."

With just a few words, all the children's eyes turned red in an instant.

She was clearly heartbroken by them, but she was still so gentle, which made them even more miserable.

What on earth did they do!

The children went to get the blanket leaning against the wall with numb expressions. When several children got the blanket, they couldn't control their tears and the tears dripped onto the blanket, wetting a few small dark circles.

Look, this is the blanket that my sister made for them out of love...

After the children sat down, Qiuyue took a deep breath and then looked up at them. When she looked at their pale faces, tears instantly welled up in Qiuyue's eyes, and they felt so heartbroken that they felt suffocated.

"Tell me...you two, when did you start to dislike each other..."

Qiuyue asked in a trembling voice. Zhang Zhenyi shuddered all over, clutching his sleeves with both hands. He lowered his head for a long time before saying, "On the first day they went to school with us..."

It turns out that there are not actually that many children with dominant Qilin blood in the main family of the Zhang family. Among the 47 children of Zhang Zhenyi, 23 are from outside the family, and these are only boys. There are also many children from outside the family on the girl's side, and the number is no less than that here.

It was not the first time that a Qilin son was born from an outside family before, but those were rare, and sometimes only one or two appeared in a generation. However, it was different for the four generations of Zhang Zhenyi. There were dozens of Qilin sons from outside families.

The appearance of these Qilin children was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also made the Zhang family extremely happy. They felt that this was proof that the Zhang family was about to enter a more prosperous period, and that their Zhang family would become more and more powerful under the leadership of these children. Driven by this idea, the head of the Zhang family waved his hand and asked all the Qilin children from the outside family to come to the main family's clan land. He specially allowed them to be named according to the main family's generation like the children of the main family, and allowed them to learn martial arts together with the Qilin children of the main family. He also specially asked the three most powerful instructors in the clan to come and teach them, hoping that they could make progress and grow together, and cultivate a group of the most powerful fresh bloodlines in history for the future Zhang family.

But, not everything can go as you wish.

In the past, when a child was born to an outsider family, he could also come to the main family to study and be trained, but it was different. After they came here, they could not change their names. The main family and the outsider family did not use the same set of generation names, so after they came here, they still used the outsider family's generation names, and this was the first difference.

The second difference is that in the past, although the outer family's Qilin children came to the main family to study, they only went to the most ordinary and worst schools. Better teachers would not teach them, let alone these three most powerful teachers. These are the teachers who have taught several generations of Zhang family heads. In the royal family, they are comparable to the emperor's teacher.

When the head of the Zhang family asked these children to change their names, he encountered a lot of opposition, not to mention letting the three head instructors teach them. Although the three head instructors agreed with this matter, there were still many people who opposed and resisted. Many of them were the elders of the main family's Qilin sons headed by Zhang Zhenyi. They felt that these children were not worthy of being taught by the head instructors, nor were they worthy of going to school with their children. Some even thought that these Qilin sons from outside the family would threaten the status of the main family when they grew up, and might even become the second Zhang family. Everyone had their own opinions and views, and all of these were suppressed and enforced by the head of the Zhang family.
