Before dinner, Huang Taihe told me about the call the police station had given him that day. "Dad, Xingran, the police station called me this afternoon and said they found out it was Zhou Siyun from the Zhou family who ordered those thugs to arrest Xingran and Xiaoxue."
"The evidence has been collected, and the police will send people to the Zhou family to arrest them first thing tomorrow morning. As for why Zhou Siyun instructed people to arrest Xingran and the others, we don't know for now; we can only interrogate them after the arrests tomorrow."
"I think the Zhou family will come to visit my uncle and aunt tomorrow. Dad, how do you plan to handle this? And what are Xingran's own thoughts?"
Huang Taihe remained silent, glancing at Su Xingran to signal her to share her thoughts. Su Xingran received her master's instruction and pondered for a moment.
“Brother Taihe, first of all, I don’t know Zhou Siyun and have no grudge against her. She’s trying to ruin me and Sister-in-law Xiaoxue for no reason. If I hadn’t been able to protect myself, I could have predicted what would have happened to me and Sister-in-law Xiaoxue.”
"So no matter what Zhou Siyun's reasons are, I will not accept a settlement. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, it is my fault, but I will not back down."
Several adults looked relieved upon hearing Su Xingran's explanation. Indeed, the Huang family had never allowed themselves to be bullied and never backed down in the face of adversity.
Huang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Xingran, you're right to think that way. We won't make things difficult for you. Your master has always been behind you. Whatever you need, your master will support you. The old man of the Zhou family is an upright man, and his two sons and two daughters also have sound values. It's just that his eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Siyun's mother is a despicable person."
"I guess Zhou Siyun has learned her secrets, which is why she's so lawless and resorts to such underhanded and shady methods. If she comes knocking tomorrow, don't be polite. Our Huang family doesn't mess with anyone, and we're not afraid of anyone."
"Yes, Xingran, you don't need to worry about anything. My father, my elder brother, my two sisters-in-law, and I all support you," Huang Taizhou said earnestly to Su Xingran.
“That’s right, that’s right, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law also support you. Zhou Siyun is so young and she’s done such a vicious thing. I had heard before that she was not a good person and that she was spoiled and arrogant. I never thought she would do something so illegal.”
Su Xingran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her master's family supported her. People of high status usually prioritize their family's interests, and those who are old friends with the Gu family must have families of similar status.
Su Xingran was also somewhat worried that her situation might cause trouble for everyone. However, having encountered such a vicious person who aimed to ruin a woman's reputation to achieve his goals, Su Xingran did not want to let it go easily.
The next morning, the police sent officers to the Zhou family's house to arrest them. It was around 8:30 a.m., and the Zhou family was all home on Sunday. They were having breakfast when they heard knocking on the door.
Grandpa Zhou said to the kitchen maid, "Lin Ma, go and see who's here. If they're guests, bring them in."
Upon hearing what Grandpa Zhou said, the housekeeper quickly came out of the kitchen to see who the guests were.
Soon, Lin's mother came in, followed by two uniformed police officers. "Old Zhou, they said they're here to see Siyun."
The Zhou family felt a sense of foreboding when they saw that the visitors were police officers. Old Master Zhou stood up from his seat. "I wonder what business the two officers have with my granddaughter?"
The older policeman said to Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, we apologize for disturbing you so early in the morning, but we have official business to attend to. Your granddaughter, Zhou Siyun, is suspected of instigating others to commit the crime. The suspects have been arrested, and in their statements, they have revealed that Zhou Siyun was the one who instigated them."
"After investigation and evidence collection, we have confirmed that Zhou Siyun did indeed instigate the crime. We are now taking her to the police station for questioning. Mr. Zhou, please call Zhou Siyun out so we can complete our mission."
