"What?!" Grandma's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the teacup. Her face turned deathly pale.
Lin Wenbo abruptly stood up, his eyes sharp as an eagle's:
"Tangtang, explain yourself clearly! What exactly happened?"
Su Tang will tell you how Jiang Sushuang and Su Dongcheng coveted the Su family's wealth.
How they conspired to commit adultery, how they plotted to drug her and send her to Tibet, and how she accidentally stumbled upon their affair.
She also clearly and logically explained all her doubts about the cause of her father Su Henian's death.
"...I suspect that Father's death is inextricably linked to those two beasts, Jiang Sushuang and Su Dongcheng! They tricked me into going to Tibet to kill me and cover my tracks, and then completely seize everything from our Su family!"
"Bang!"
Uncle Lin Wenbo slammed his fist hard on the old eight-immortal table in the main room, causing the enamel cup on the table to jump high and spill water all over the table.
"Outrageous! These two heartless, despicable bastards are worse than pigs and dogs!"
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his eyes turned bloodshot. As a police officer, he hated this kind of inhumane crime the most.
His sister died young, his brother-in-law was brutally murdered, and now even his only niece was almost killed!
Grandma was moved to tears, her whole body trembling. She hugged Su Tang tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"My poor daughter... my pitiful Tangtang... how could these damned beasts do such a heinous thing!"
"Grandma, Uncle, don't worry, and don't be too sad."
Su Tang turned around and gently patted her grandmother's back to comfort them.
“I am no longer the Su Tang who could be manipulated by others. I will settle my scores with them one by one, for my father’s revenge and the Su family’s debts.”
The grandmother felt both heartache and relief when she saw her granddaughter like this.
She wiped away her tears, turned around, and went into the inner room.
A moment later, she came out carrying a locked sandalwood box.
The box looked quite old, with its edges worn smooth and shiny. It was carved with intricate lotus scroll patterns, exuding an ancient and dignified aura.
"Sigh, I never thought this would come in handy... Wan'er, I never thought you would actually foresee this day..."
"Tangtang, this is something your mother... secretly left behind back then."
Grandma's voice trembled slightly as she took a small brass key from her inner pocket and gently opened the box.
Inside the box, several letters sealed with sealing wax were neatly arranged. The envelopes were slightly yellowed, but they were very well preserved.
The top letter was sealed with a uniquely shaped vermilion seal, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings.
Beside the letter was a neatly folded piece of bright yellow silk.
Grandma carefully unfolded the silk, and it turned out to be a meticulously hand-drawn diagram of the interior structure of the Su family's old house, inside which was a finely crafted phoenix hairpin.
A very secret location was marked on it with cinnabar, and next to it were written the four characters "Phoenix Hairpin as Key" in tiny regular script.
