Sheng Qing finally snapped, "And where did the dowry your grandparents gave you go? Mom, you're the ones who're getting senile. Although the Sheng family isn't short of money, those savings were earned with our own hands. Why should we use our money to support the Qin family? You're already supporting yourselves, and now you expect us siblings to support the Qin siblings? Are you even our real mother? Who are you anyway?"
“My mom wasn’t like this before. She was good at managing the household. She always said she would save money for my wedding and as a dowry for her daughter. My mom was also a bit stingy, splitting every penny in half, but she was only stingy with outsiders because she suffered family trauma when she was young. Her father, who was a poor man from a poor background, didn’t care for her, and his concubine was in power. They kicked my mom and my grandma out of the house, leaving the two of them to wander the streets as beggars and suffer the coldness of the world. If it weren’t for the kindness of my grandparents in the Gu family who took them in and brought them back to the Gu family, my mom and grandma would have died long ago!”
"As for Zhou Derong's maternal family, they even helped the concubine to kick her when she was down. My mother would never be able to get along with Zhou Derong peacefully, let alone give money to Zhou Derong and my scumbag maternal grandfather's family. That scumbag maternal grandfather was a man who married into my mother's family and squandered all of my mother's family property."
Madam Sheng glared fiercely at Qin Feifei. It was all Qin Feifei's fault for causing trouble. Now that all the bankbooks had been taken to the Qin family, how was she supposed to explain this to dispel the Sheng family's suspicions about her?
What caught her off guard was that Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen were secretly investigating the Qin family and her relationship with Zhou Derong's family.
"Zhuo Ting, Mom and Dad, you've misunderstood me, I just..."
Qin Feifei hadn't expected that this fire would spread so rapidly to the Qin family, nor did she expect that Fu Wanning's brother and sister-in-law would be so difficult to deal with, deliberately trying to ruin the Qin family.
Sheng Hantao's unyielding attitude was firm: "Take it back immediately, and compensate for whatever is missing, or you'll rot in jail."
Aunt Feng wanted to say something more, but Gu Wanwan shut her down with one sentence: "Anyone who speaks up for the Qin family has a guilty conscience, and we'll probably have to ask the special department to investigate them thoroughly. It's said that the department has a Mirror of Karma. As long as you stand in front of it, it will show you all the sins you've committed in your ancestors for eighteen generations or in your past and present lives. By the way, it doesn't show your physical body, but your soul."
Legends may be legends, but they don't stop everyone from being wary, including the five lower-ranking families.
Special departments investigate and handle special incidents, and they are involved in everything. If the Qin family is targeted, their fate will not be good.
Under the intimidation of Wan Jie and Chen Ge, and under the supervision of the Sheng and Cheng families, Madam Sheng had no choice but to bow her head. "It was my fault. I only entrusted the money to De Rong for safekeeping. It wasn't to subsidize the Qin family. De Rong is a sensible person. She won't spend the money in the savings account. Feng Sao and I will go and get it back right now..."
Fortunately, she had reminded the Qin family beforehand that if they wanted to use the savings account, they should at least wait until Qin Feifei married into the Sheng family first, to avoid causing more trouble. Secondly, the bank staff had relatives from the top five families, so they would definitely pay more attention to the Sheng family's savings account.
The Qin family readily agreed, presumably not wanting to use the funds lightly in order to complete their grand plan. After all, she had provided substantial subsidies over the past year, enough for the Qin family to indulge in lavish spending.
Sister Wan and Brother Chen stood up abruptly, "Many hands make light work for debt collection, let's all go together!"
