Master Qin suddenly perked up, no longer lying down. He sat up. "So you're telling me that I'm about to be the Marquis's father-in-law? And soon I'll be considered part of the royal family, isn't that right?"
The Qin brothers both had few male descendants. Eldest brother Qin Chengren never had a son, only three daughters. The younger brother, Qin Chengshan, also had three daughters and only managed to have a son after many years, who was like a lone seedling in a vast field.

Meanwhile, Qin Chengshan, leveraging the marital arrangements of his daughters and nieces, had held a steady position in the Six Departments despite the many troubles his elder brother caused. It didn't affect his own official status.
