Chapter 37 Coming to Claim the Child

"Su Chang'an, let go of my child!"

Qin Yulin rushed towards Su Chang'an.

He had nothing in his hands and was not afraid of Su Chang'an riding high on his horse. He went up and raised his fist, ready to pull Su Chang'an off the horse.

Su Chang'an frowned and loosened his grip to deal with it. Was Qin Yulin crazy?

Su Dai slipped off the horse. Qin Yulin caught Su Dai without getting entangled with Su Chang'an and carried her to the side. Su Dai was already unconscious, her little face flushed.

Su Chang'an dismounted and was about to go forward to check when he was stopped by the villagers.

"I am her father!"

Su Chang'an gritted his teeth and spoke. He was Su Dai's father. Couldn't he even see his daughter if he wanted to?

"Lord Anping, please have some self-respect. Su Dai has nothing to do with you anymore. You suddenly kidnapped my child and harmed her. I, Qin, will seek justice even if I have to take this to the prefect of Liuzhou!"

Qin Tianhai spoke in a deep voice. He had no good feelings towards this son-in-law ever since he learned that his daughter had been divorced.

No matter why they meet again in the future, they can only be enemies.

What's more, he has now injured Su Dai.

"Su Bao, Su Bao, don't scare your uncle."

Qin Yulin was extremely panicked.

Doctor Zhang was wheeled over to take Su Dai's pulse.

"The child was holding his breath and couldn't breathe. Luckily, it was only for a short time. Who would be so cruel as to harm a child? This is murder!"

After taking his pulse, Doctor Zhang said angrily.

Everyone knows that holding your breath is uncomfortable, but who would be so cruel as to smother a child!

"Cough cough."

Su Dai woke up with a cough, and when she opened her eyes and saw Qin Yulin, she immediately felt wronged, and tears rolled down her cheeks like big soybeans.

"Uncle, I'm scared."

The feeling of having difficulty breathing was so unpleasant that Su Dai was truly terrified.

Qin Yulin clenched his fists, handed Su Dai to Qin Tianhai, and then rushed towards Su Chang'an.

"Qin Yulin, are you crazy? I'm here on business. I'm Su Dai's father, and I didn't mean to..."

Su Chang'an explained coldly that he really didn't want to fight Qin Yulin.

He didn't know Su Dai would be so weak; she couldn't even breathe when he laid her on the horse's back.

Qin Yulin's eyes were ruthless. He didn't waste any words with Su Chang'an and swung his fist at him.

They didn't get enough of a beating last time, so this time Su Chang'an came to them asking for one.

Seeing that Qin Yulin was determined to fight, and with no one stopping him, Su Chang'an had no choice but to take action.

But when their fists collided, he was shocked. How could Qin Yulin's strength have increased again?

The shock made his hands go numb and his joints ache.

Reflecting on the unusual events of the past month, he felt a vague unease. Rather than actually being unable to defeat Qin Yulin, he decided it was better not to fight back.

Su Chang'an suddenly stopped and took a solid beating.

"It's normal for you to hate me. Go ahead and hit me if you want. We can talk properly after you've had your fill."

Su Chang'an straightened up, closed his eyes, and said with righteous indignation.

Qin Yulin gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand, but he immediately covered Su Chang'an's mouth and said fiercely, "Hitting you would make my hands dirty. You made Su Bao faint from suffocation, and I'll make you taste the suffering Su Bao endured!"

Su Chang'an didn't fight back; he felt it was bad luck to hit him.

Thinking of Su Dai being suffocated to the point of fainting, Qin Yulin wanted to retaliate in kind. If Su Chang'an resisted, he would beat him up openly and honestly.

Su Chang'an didn't expect Qin Yulin to be so crazy. When Qin Yulin's big hand covered his chest, he felt a sudden discomfort. He tried to struggle but was held down. Qin Yulin's strength was terrifying.

People looked away, pretending not to see.

Seeing Su Chang'an struggling and his face turning red from being covered, Qin Tianhai stepped forward, patted Qin Yulin on the shoulder, and said, "That's enough."

Qin Yulin released his grip and immediately got up, moving away from Su Chang'an.

Qin Yulin picked up Su Dai and asked with concern, "Su Bao, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Thinking that the child was in poor health, they still needed to go to Liuzhou City to see a doctor, but Su Chang'an was here, so they had to deal with this problem first.

"May I ask why Lord Su has graced us with his presence? You have come here and inexplicably harmed your young granddaughter."

Qin Tianhai was dressed in plain clothes and was very polite, but his cold and scrutinizing gaze made Su Chang'an very uncomfortable.

After getting up, Su Chang'an didn't pursue the matter. He simply patted his clothes and said, "What happened just now was a misunderstanding. Let it go. Su Dai is, after all, a member of the Su family. She's been in poor health since she was a child, so I came to see her."

"Old Qin probably doesn't want to talk in a place like this either."

Su Chang'an looked around; the villagers seemed to be helping with the work.

Qin Tianhai is quite adept at dealing with people; he's already started building houses for the Qin family. Who knows how much money he'll be taking from them? These villagers are just bloodsuckers for the Qin family.

This gave him even more confidence in taking the child away.

"This is definitely not the place to talk."

Qin Tianhai spoke calmly.

He turned to the villagers and said, "Everyone, go back to work. We'll take care of some chores."

Qin Yulin carried Su Dai, and the father and son walked towards home.

Su Chang'an mounted his horse, which was a little restless. He frowned and looked at Su Dai, but Su Dai didn't even look at him. Instead, Su Dai obediently lay on Qin Yulin's shoulder. He was indeed an ungrateful wretch.

Under their instigation, he even disowned his own father.

Upon arriving at the Qin family residence, Su Chang'an looked at Madam Qin, whose expression was indifferent, as were the rest of the Qin family members.

Su Chang'an tied his horse to a tree outside without a second thought.

He went into the courtyard on his own; he had been here several times before.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome in our home!"

Qin looked at her family members, composed herself, and spoke to Su Chang'an. She used to be subservient to him, but not anymore. They had nothing to do with each other, and she didn't need to be obsequious.

This is her home. No matter who he is, Marquis Anping or whoever he is, she can rightfully drive him away!

"Qin, I've come for your and Su Dai's own good."

Su Chang'an frowned slightly, but his expression softened as he remembered his purpose. He looked at Madam Qin and spoke seriously.

“Su Dai is in poor health. Miss Qian already knows about my family’s situation. She doesn’t mind Su Dai’s existence. Su Dai is my bloodline after all. I want to take her home to raise her. This is good for both you and her. You won’t have to worry about bringing a burden when you remarry in the future. And Su Dai’s health will be better taken care of if she comes home with me.”

After Su Chang'an finished speaking, he stared intently at Madam Qin. Knowing how much Madam Qin loved her daughter, she would definitely be tempted, since she had previously wanted to keep Su Dai in the Su family.

At that time, he didn't take Su Dai seriously. He thought that things had been going badly for the past two weeks, and his second and third brothers had mentioned many times that Su Dai seemed to have a lucky spirit. Although he didn't quite believe it, he figured there was no harm in bringing him home.

Su Dai carries the blood of the Su family, so it's perfectly legitimate for him to take him back.

Madam Qin frowned and looked at Su Dai, who had already reached out to her from Qin Yulin's arms: "Mother."

Su Dai called out "Mother," and Qin Shi's heart softened. She strode over and took Su Dai from Qin Yulin's arms. Su Dai whispered in Qin Shi's ear, "Mother, I don't want to leave you. I will eat well, I will grow up well, I will be good, I am not a burden."
