But she wasn't in the mood to play along. She asked directly, "Did the old lady sell out the things from Shunyizhai and Huarong shops?"
Old Madam Qin was slightly startled. She didn't expect Xie Wanyun to ask directly without even laying the groundwork.
He figured since they'd come knocking on his door, he couldn't deny it. He simply nodded in agreement, explaining with a smile on his face, "Wanyun, this is what happened. A few days ago, Su'an said he wanted to give someone some gifts. You know he's been having trouble in the officialdom lately, and I don't know who's been working against him."
Having said that, he paused deliberately, looked at her meaningfully, and observed her expression.
Xie Wanyun sneered inwardly. The Qin family had done all sorts of shameless things, yet they still had to feign innocence and then shift the blame onto others.
Clean yourself up.
"So you used my things as gifts? Did you get my permission?" Xie Wanyun ignored her words.
Old Madam Qin put away her smile and put on a solemn look.
"Wanyun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what you said is wrong. Su'an is your husband, shouldn't you care about his future? Let me tell you the truth, many of those who hinder him are old members of your Xie family. I don't know what you are thinking, are you just being angry with Su'an? You are the eldest lady, you should have the temperament and style of a main wife. How can you be jealous of a concubine? Now among the ladies in the capital, everyone knows that you are jealous. This reputation is really not good, why don't you restrain yourself? Listen to me, use this matter to apologize to Su'an, and then take Liu Yun'er back and take good care of her until she gives birth. Su'an will definitely remember your kindness. By then, you and your wife will be in harmony, and maybe you can also have a child, and the family will be lively and cheerful. How wonderful that would be."
There was a rumbling thunder above Xie Wanyun's head, and he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and almost vomited from nausea.
It is only thanks to the old lady Qin's age and thick skin that she could say such shameless words!
The robber stole your things and asked you to say thank you to the robber.
Seeing her sharp eyes but silent response, Old Lady Qin felt unsure, so she probed again, "Wanyun, do you think what I said makes sense? How about this, I'll send someone to invite Su An back so you can have a good talk? It's not going to be a good idea for you to keep going like this..."
Xie Wanyun simply interrupted her. "Old Madam, I may need to clarify one thing to you again. I have no intention of currying favor with Qin Su'an, and I certainly won't let Liu Yun'er in. If you took my things, return them as soon as possible, and I'll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I'll report you to the police and have you charged with theft."
"What did you say?!" Old Madam Qin couldn't believe her ears. "Listen, is this what you said human language? You want to sue me? You want to sue your husband? Xie Wanyun, are you crazy?"
Xie Wanyun was too lazy to waste time talking to her and said coldly, "I mean what I say. If you don't want the Yuanxing Marquisate to become a laughing stock in the capital, then you should start planning as soon as possible. As for me, my reputation has already been ruined, and I don't care about adding another one. I'm a businessman, I only care about profit, not shame."
Old Madam Qin was so angry that she covered her chest and pointed at Xie Wanyun with a trembling finger.
"You are still the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, after all. Do you really want to be so ruthless? I am the old lady of the Qin family after all. Can't I take even a little thing from the shop? Even if you report me to the authorities, I am not afraid! Let's see which government office can charge me with theft!"
Xie Wanyun sneered. "The old lady really did have a good plan. A charge of theft might be a bit troublesome, but using this incident to gain a reputation and give the wealthy and powerful in the capital some after-dinner gossip would be a good idea."
Madam Qin was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood when she heard this! Xie Wanyun, you are so cruel!
I just felt a sense of distress in my chest, my vision was dizzy, and I fell down on the chair.
He opened his mouth wide and gasped.
Xie Wanyun was impatient to see her like this, so he stood up and walked out.
He ran into Wei head-on.
Xie Wanyun came to the old lady's place, and the servants had already reported it to Wei. Wei had wanted to hide away, but with the situation getting so bad, she could no longer hide and had to pretend to be anxious and rush over.
The two bumped into each other at the door.
