Her lips trembled, her voice got stuck in her throat, and in the end she couldn't make a sound.

Her gaze darted between Shen Qiqi and the others, like a trapped beast, ultimately turning into a desperate cry: "You...you're all crazy!"

Shen Qiqi sneered and continued to approach her, each step was firm and powerful, as if stepping on the sins of the uncle and sister-in-law: "Crazy? Uncle and sister-in-law, it's you who went too far and forgot the way home. Now, all your conspiracies are exposed in broad daylight, what else do you want to do?"

My uncle and his wife waved their hands helplessly, but were powerless to change the outcome.

Her voice became hoarse and desperate: "I...I just want to make the Lu family better!"

"Better?" Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "What you mean by 'better' is to let the people of the Lu family see resentment and hatred in her eyes, and to let the Lu family's wealth be eaten away by you bit by bit?"

My uncle's wife's defense completely collapsed, and her body fell limply to the ground, like a beast hit by a hunter, with her head hanging down weakly.

There was only endless regret and fear in her eyes.

As Old Mrs. Lu looked at the scene before her, a glimmer of clarity flashed in her cloudy old eyes.

She slowly walked in front of Shen Qiqi and gently placed her trembling hands on her shoulders: "Qiqi, you are right, I...I was wrong."

Upon seeing this, the other family members gathered around, each with a look of shock and admiration on their faces.

The second uncle's son finally felt relieved. He stood beside Shen Qiqi and lowered his head in shame: "Sister Qiqi, you are really amazing. Thank you for exposing the conspiracy of the eldest uncle and his wife."

Lu Qing excitedly squeezed out of the crowd and picked up Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of love and pride: "Qiqi, you are amazing! I am so proud of you!"

Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "It's best that we can face all this together."

When the family members saw this scene, they all looked at it with envy and blessings. For a moment, the whole room was filled with a warm and touching atmosphere.

However, Shen Qiqi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said softly to Lu Qing: "Qing, things are not over yet, there are still many things we need to solve..."

Lu Qing held her hand tightly, his eyes full of determination: "Together, there is nothing we can't solve."

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and nodded. Although the family crisis of the two had been temporarily resolved, more challenges still awaited them.

After the truth was revealed, Mrs. Lu burst into tears and held Shen Qiqi's hand and apologized repeatedly. The veins on the back of her wrinkled hand bulged out like the roots of an old tree.

My uncle's wife slumped on the ground, her eyes empty, like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.

The second uncle's son finally put down his burden, wiped away his tears secretly, and breathed a sigh of relief. The air was filled with a sense of relaxation.

The head of the Lu family stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "Qiqi, this girl, is really as good as a man! The Lu family has you, and our ancestors are so proud of you!" The relatives around him also echoed him, praising Shen Qiqi's intelligence and talent. The words of praise were even more lively than the firecrackers set off during the New Year.

Lu Qing was even more excited. He picked up Shen Qiqi and spun her around, as excited as if he had won a five million lottery prize: "Qiqi, you are so awesome! My wife is so amazing!" Shen Qiqi was a little dizzy from his spinning, and she laughed and hit him: "Okay, okay, put me down quickly, so many people are watching!" Lu Qing reluctantly put her down, but still held her hand tightly, fingers interlocked, as if afraid that she would run away.

This festive atmosphere infected the entire Lu family courtyard, with constant laughter and joy, as lively as the New Year.

The children were chasing and playing in the yard, while the adults were sitting together, chatting and laughing, sharing their joy.

Even the old locust tree in the yard seemed to feel the joy, with lush branches and leaves, full of vitality.

In the evening, the Lu family set up a large banquet to celebrate the end of the storm.

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted each other, with happy smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Lu even took Shen Qiqi's hand and said earnestly: "Qiqi, the Lu family will rely on you in the future!" Shen Qiqi smiled and nodded.

However, at this moment of celebration, Lu Qing received a piece of news and his face instantly became solemn.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, walked to Shen Qiqi, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Shen Qiqi's expression also changed, her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lu noticed something was wrong with the two of them and asked with concern.

Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi looked at each other, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Grandma, we may have encountered some troubles..." He paused, his tone becoming heavy, "Our entrepreneurial project may... face some competition..."

Shen Qiqi held Lu Qing's hand tightly and added: "Besides, this competitor may not be easy to deal with..."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the yard froze instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

At this moment, Lu Qing's cousin ran into the yard in a hurry, her face pale and she said breathlessly: "Brother Qing, Sister Qiqi, it's not good..."
