Chapter 70 It's deadly!
"After all, Qin is your woman. You won't regret it later, will you? What if you do regret it and blame me?"
Su Changsheng looked at Su Chang'an suspiciously. That method was insidious. What if they regretted it later? It would damage their brotherly relationship.
Su Changshui didn't speak, but he actually had the same guess in his heart.
These men are all extremely possessive. Once Qin Shi left his Su family, as long as his elder brother became the Marquis of Anping, no one would dare to take her.
Whoever takes the Qin family member would be going against them, wouldn't they?
He might not want his older brother, but he wouldn't allow anyone else to have him.
"I will make my own plans for the future. She is just an outsider, and she will never be as important to me as you are. Don't take it too seriously."
Su Chang'an remained unmoved. Qin was his woman, and no one else was allowed to touch her. If Qin were obedient, he wouldn't have treated her like this.
But she just wouldn't stay still and insisted on causing trouble. The better she became, the more people would never forget how he abandoned his wife and daughters after becoming rich overnight. This dead end was Qin's own doing.
Her family members also lost their lives because of her.
"With your words, brother, I guarantee this matter will be handled properly, and that Qin family will definitely regret their actions."
Su Changsheng laughed and cupped his hands, saying, "It is said that the common people cannot fight against the officials. This Qin family is so ungrateful. They should be taught a lesson."
They had already considered killing the Qin family when they came to coerce them before, and the fact that the Qin family still refused to return the child only compounded their crimes.
Su Chang'an waved his hand: "Go down."
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui exchanged a glance and then retreated together.
——
Qin Yulin stood outside the city for a long time, his brows furrowed. He racked his brains but could not come up with a solution. He never expected that the Su family would block the pass in advance, making it impossible for him to even leave.
But the Su family is so treacherous; they accused him of stealing the horse!
Once the charge is established, things become more complicated.
Their family had always been cautious in their actions, avoiding giving the Su family any reason to cause trouble, but now...
Qin Yulin sighed; a bad feeling was already creeping into his heart.
Qin Yulin stroked the horse's face and sighed, "My horse, do you know how ruthless your last heartless master was?"
The horse seemed to sense Qin Yulin's low spirits and nuzzled his palm.
Qin Yulin sighed; he didn't even dare to enter the city now.
But he had to tell his father about this quickly. His father was so smart; the sooner he knew, the better he could figure out a way to deal with it!
Qin Yulin thought about how his family always said the horse was intelligent, so he stroked the horse's face and said, "Horse, oh horse, I'll tie you here. Don't make a sound. I'll come back to take you home later."
I don't know if the horse can understand.
Just as Qin Yulin was puzzled, the horse nodded.
Qin Yulin didn't see it. He looked into the distance with worry, tied up his horse, and turned to leave.
——
Qin Jin'an kept her eyes open and observed every customer who came to buy things, even though she was feeling very sleepy.
I almost fell asleep several times while resting my chin on my hands.
She saw a dark aura between Qin's eyebrows, which she believed indicated impending disaster.
With the noodles almost sold out, Qin Jin'an couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Qin felt that her daughter was in particularly bad spirits today, and she was very worried. Fortunately, the noodle fish was sold out, so she could go home quickly.
Just as they were packing up their stall, several fierce-looking burly men carried a red sedan chair and strode over. A woman dressed as a matchmaker spotted Qin Shi at first glance and said in a sharp voice, "Qin Shi, please get in the sedan chair. Hurry up and don't delay the auspicious time!"
A flicker of panic crossed Qin's face, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "What do you mean? I don't know any of you, and I have no past grudges or recent conflicts with you!"
It's obvious that this was arranged by Su Chang'an, but what did he mean by it? He must have a reason.
Qin Tianhai stood in front of the Qin family and said solemnly, "Everything must have a reason. Bullying the strong is a capital offense. Have you all thought this through?"
“Father-in-law, please accept my bow. I am not doing anything illegal. I am just here to take my wife home.”
A short, stout man with a fierce expression cupped his hands and said in a fawning yet cunning tone.
Qin's face turned deathly pale upon hearing this.
Qin Tianhai frowned and said coldly, "Without a matchmaker, you are being impolite. I am not worthy of being called your father-in-law. Since you have a valid point, I am all ears."
Qin Tianhai stared at the man, his gaze sharp.
He was furious, yet also incredibly calm.
"Hmph, my name is Li Siheng. Father-in-law, just remember my name. I don't want our relationship to be ugly, but I, Li Siheng, know my own limitations. As long as I get a wife, I don't care about having a wife's family."
Li Siheng said in a harsh voice, then clapped his hands and said, "Come on, invite my wife into the sedan chair. The family is waiting for the new bride to start the feast."
“My wife died from poisoning after eating your noodle fish. I reported it to the authorities yesterday. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, I don’t ask for money, but you have to compensate me with a wife. This noodle fish was made by Qin Shi. She is an unmarried divorced woman and is the perfect age match for me. She can’t have a son, but I happen to have three sons. If we become a family, it would be a match made in heaven!”
Li Siheng looked at Qin Shi with a drooling look in his eyes.
You should know that this Lady Qin was the former wife of Marquis Anping. Lady Qin was not a good match for Marquis Anping, who had risen to power overnight, but she was more than a match for him.
Under normal circumstances, a scholar's daughter would never be interested in her.
Although Qin had given birth to a daughter, her figure hadn't changed at all; on the contrary, she had become even more charming. The thought of such a woman entering his family made Li Siheng feel incredibly lucky—it was as if his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.
"Bride, please get into the sedan chair, so as not to miss the auspicious time."
The matchmaker, her expression unfriendly, spoke coldly.
Li Siheng took the judgment from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Qin Tianhai: "Father-in-law, please take a look. This is the judgment. The documents are all on file with the government. I was thinking that we would be family in the future, and I still want to be a good son-in-law. If you really don't like me and insist on taking me to court again, then there's nothing I can do."
By then, Qin Shi will already be his woman, so it won't make much difference if the Qin family takes their daughter back.
"If you want to take my mother away, I'm afraid you won't live to see it. Believe me, if you touch my mother, even the heavens will strike you dead. You're not afraid of being childless, try it!"
Qin Jin'an was awakened by the noise. What she heard was that Li Siheng actually wanted to take her mother back as his wife.
Qin Jin'an was filled with anger, and as she finished speaking, dark clouds began to gather in the sky.
People were terrified by this sudden change.
Many onlookers quickly moved away, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire if lightning struck.
