Chapter 154 The Great Kindness of the Qin Family
"Uncle, believe me, I didn't write some of those words. I will prove it. The person who harmed me and Cai Die is hiding in the shadows and must know I've come to Liuzhou City. Uncle, I have a plan!"
Jiang Xun quickly calmed down. He had a clear mind. Since the trick was done on the letters, he would take advantage of that.
"you say."
Jiang Xun's expression was so sincere and open that Xiao Yuebai believed him without any doubt, simply because he had also been young once and understood the openness and sincerity of young people's love. True love cannot tolerate any imperfections.
He understood Jiang Xun's anger, and even more so, he understood his desire to prove himself.
“Uncle, I saw Cai Die today, which must have alerted the enemy. Tell Cai Die that I have returned to the capital and that in a few days I will secretly deliver a letter to her. Make sure the person in the shadows knows about this letter. I don’t want you to know about this letter.”
"Uncle, you watch me write this letter now. Only when we know what's on the letter and that the person has been caught can Cai Die and I put our minds at ease and I can help Cai Die get out of this pain."
Jiang Xun acted immediately, taking out paper and pen to start writing a letter.
Xiao Yuebai was impressed by his intelligence and frankness and watched the whole thing.
This letter is brilliantly written, giving those with the will to use it to their advantage.
Someone is trying to ruin his daughter's marriage, and Xiao Yuebai wants to find out who it is.
After preparing, Xiao Yuebai spoke: "A-Xun, once the truth is clear, if you wish to break off the engagement, you may..."
“Uncle, I will help Caidie be herself again. If she is still willing to marry me then, I will definitely marry her with a grand wedding ceremony when the wedding date arrives.”
Jiang Xun interrupted Xiao Yuebai before he could finish speaking, saying that if he wanted to break off the engagement, it would only be if Xiao Caidie didn't want him anymore.
No one can belittle the girl in his heart, not even himself.
Xiao Yuebai looked at Jiang Xun, his eyes slightly moist. Not wanting Jiang Xun to see it, he looked away and solemnly said, "I will definitely arrange this matter properly."
"Thank you so much, Uncle, for giving me this opportunity. Thank you all, otherwise I..."
Jiang Xun recalled Xiao Caidie's current appearance, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. If he hadn't come here, he would have just stayed in the capital and waited peacefully for the wedding.
If they met again, he would definitely be shocked by her. All his reactions would hurt her. He dared not think about what would become of their once unwavering trust.
"We have to thank that young lady from the Qin family for this. She did some calculations for Cai Die, but Cai Die didn't realize it. Your aunt and I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to call you here, firstly for our daughter, and secondly to find an answer."
Xiao Yuebai sighed inwardly. He had glimpsed something by chance and was unwilling to let it go in a bad direction, so he wanted to save it.
No matter how bad Xiao Caidie is, she is still his only daughter. It is their indulgence as parents that has led to her becoming like this. How can they blame her? She is just a fifteen-year-old girl. She may not understand now, but she will understand in the future.
Her parents helped her when necessary, so she wouldn't fall and get hurt.
"You are a good child. No matter what the future holds, your uncle will remember this kindness."
Xiao Yuebai patted Jiang Xun on the shoulder and walked out.
Jiang Xun's thoughts were also in turmoil, but he was more determined than ever. He couldn't let Xiao Caidie continue down this path of negativity and depravity. He wanted her to be as confident and cheerful as before.
Jiang Xun resolutely left.
After he left, Madam Chu came out.
Chu's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little hoarse: "I'm relieved that I didn't misjudge him."
Now that her daughter is saved, she can finally rest easy.
Xiao Yuebai patted the back of Chu's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out who is trying to harm our daughter."
We must find out exactly where the letter was tampered with!
Madam Chu nodded slightly, then, remembering Madam Qin, she asked, "Last time you said that the Qin family asked someone to investigate the Su family's enemies, did it all go smoothly? The Qin family has done us a great favor, and Su Chang'an, as the Marquis of Anping, cannot openly help us, but he can help us secretly."
Su Chang'an married into the family in the capital, his goal being to gain real power, which was not easy.
It won't be easy for the Qin family to challenge them.
Openly helping someone makes enemies, which is bad, but helping them secretly is acceptable.
Xiao Yuebai smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly. With that girl around, everything will be fine. That old guy Qin Tianhai is far-sighted. I think he will get what he wants soon. The Su family has lost another 10,000 taels this time. After these few losses, their defeat is obvious. If their enemies don't make a move now, when will they?"
"That's good. I heard he's going to take the imperial examination. I really don't know if he'll be able to pass..."
"That's hard to say, but his handwriting is beautiful. I bought it to keep as a collection. Whether he wins or loses, he's a remarkable person..."
The couple chatted casually, and eventually fell asleep together.
...
September 23rd afternoon.
Qin Tianhai and the Qin family went to the appointment together.
The Pu family started contacting them half a month ago, and the topics had been laid out for a long time, but the Pu family had not made any statement. Today's meeting with the father and daughter was the last contact.
Since the Pu family ginseng wasn't involved, the Qin family had already decided to take action.
The Pu family also mainly dealt in cloth. Before the Su family's cloth shop opened, the Pu family's cloth sold the best.
When the Su family entered the business world, they were trying to suppress the Pu family because the Pu family's fabrics couldn't be cheaper than the Su family's, and their high-end fabrics couldn't compete with the Hu family's high-end strategy.
The two families even had a fatal dispute.
Pu Jianye's brother-in-law, Shi Dahai, got into a fight with Su Changshui at a brothel. The two made a drinking contest, and Shi Dahai died within two days.
There was no way to make a fuss about this, but Shi blamed the two Su brothers for her brother's death. Since they were rivals, the Pu family also hated the Su family to the core.
This time, it was Shi who came to meet us again. She and Pu Jianye were both shrewd people.
Upon seeing Qin Tianhai and Qin Shi arrive, Shi Shi stood up to greet them: "Mr. Qin and Miss Qin, it's nice to see you again. Please have a seat."
"May Madam Pu be well."
Qin nodded slightly and greeted him.
Qin Tianhai nodded slightly.
After being seated, Shi asked directly, "When will you take action?"
"Has Mrs. Pu made up her mind?"
Qin looked at Shi and asked. In the past few meetings, Shi had never made her intentions clear. She had been hesitant. It seemed that she had made up her mind this time.
Shi nodded: "The Su family took my brother's life. As his older sister, I naturally have to avenge him!"
The loss of her younger brother's life, the squeeze on her business—each of these is a deep-seated blood feud.
Previously, they were worried that retaliation would backfire and bring trouble upon themselves, but now that the Su family is showing signs of decline, if they don't take action now, they will suffer indignity for the rest of their lives.
"If the Pu family is willing to assist in a month, that would be even better."
Qin looked at Shi, showing her determination, but in fact, regardless of whether the Pu family intervened or not, she was going to take action.
