"I'll say it again, shut your stinking mouth! What fighting and killing? My sister just tripped on the threshold and fell, hitting her head!" Qi Zhao was even angrier, the veins on his forehead bulging.
Su Ruyi retorted without backing down: "Then may I ask, did you personally witness Qi Yaqin tripping on the threshold?"
Qi Zhao was furious: "Come here, you watch me!"
As he spoke, he strode toward the living room, and as he passed the threshold, he deliberately tripped and crawled straight forward.
After falling to the ground, he got up, dusted himself off, and glared at Su Ruyi: "Did you see that clearly? Do I need to demonstrate it again?"
Su Ruyi remained calm and said, "That's just your deduction, and you knew to use your arm to protect your head when you fell. So why did Qi Yaqin's head hit the ground when she fell?"
Qi Zhao was a little stunned: "This..."
At this moment, Xia Tianxiu suddenly burst into tears without warning.
Crying, she rushed towards Su Ruyi and grabbed her sleeve:
"Su Ruyi, please, please let me go! I beg you!"
Back in Haicheng, you were targeting me!
I know you look down on me and think I'm not good enough for your fourth brother!
But you can't hurt me like this.
When you were in Dingjiatun, you acted like a tyrant in the village, and I never said a word about these things to the Qi family.
I've been keeping your secret all along!
I only hoped you would let me go, but I never expected you would want me dead…
As she spoke, Xia Tianxiu pretended to cry so hard that she fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Qi Zhao rushed over: "Yue'er, Yue'er! Hang in there!"
After yelling a few times, he looked up at Su Ruyi, his eyes already glistening with tears, "Are you satisfied now? You jinx, please stay away from my house!"
Qi Yasheng said, "Qi Zhao, this is my home, not yours. If you've had enough of your madness, get out. Dr. Su is always a distinguished guest of the Qi family, not someone you can slander at will!"
After speaking, Qi Zhao and Qi Yasheng looked at Xia Tianxiu:
"Comrade Xia Tianxiu, we all know very well what you have done!"
After you returned to Beijing, you asked my sister for money under various pretexts. You must have saved up seven or eight hundred yuan by now, right?
So what did you do with that money?
Qi Zhao, do you want to know what she did?
I'm telling you—she used that money to hire a matchmaker and ran off to a village called Zhangqiao Village!
They found a matchmaker and asked her to marry off a girl named Zhang Ruyi from that village to a distant place in the mountains of Inner Mongolia.
To get this done, she gave the matchmaker 300 yuan and promised to give her another 100 yuan after the job was done!
Can you guess why?
Because the girl she was to marry off to in the mountains was my sister's real daughter!
That's the real Qiao Tianyue who was lost!
As she spoke, Qi Yasheng was already sobbing uncontrollably, "Comrade Xia Tianxiu, why are you so vicious? What deep-seated hatred does my Qi family have against you?"
Before Xia Tianxiu could speak, Qi Zhao snorted coldly:
"The story is well-crafted."
However, you can't just make up a few stories and turn black into white!
When Yue'er came back, everything she said made sense. Where did this real Yue'er come from?
It's just that you all dislike her and want to get rid of her together.
"Yasheng, I advise you not to be used by this Su Ruyi. She's a very wicked person."
"Shut up!" Qi Yasheng shoved Qi Zhao to the ground.
Qi Zhao rolled over and got up, and without showing any weakness, he pushed Qi Yasheng back.
Qi Yasheng swayed, then stopped, and punched Qi Zhao.
Blood immediately flowed from both of Qi Zhao's nostrils.
He wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand and threw a punch.
The next second, Qi Yasheng's eye was punched and turned into a black eye.
Su Ruyi rushed forward and pulled the two apart, one on each side.
Both of them were actually weak scholars, and their fighting style was unorthodox; they relied solely on brute force.
At this moment, they were somewhat shocked to discover that Su Ruyi was actually stronger than them.
Su Ruyi said:
“I feel there’s no point in saying all this here. Let’s call the police instead.”
I believe that if Comrade Qi Yaqin died accidentally, there would be corresponding traces.
If she was a victim, there would be clues.
Do you agree to report this to the police?
Unexpectedly, Qi Yasheng and Qi Zhao said in unison, "We disagree."
Su Ruyi looked at Qi Yasheng with a puzzled expression.
The latter stammered, "The Qi family's affairs... are generally not reported to the police."
Su Ruyi then suddenly realized.
Yes, perhaps their family issues are mostly resolved internally.
After all, they are a very influential family, and their every move is under everyone's watchful eye.
Su Ruyi glanced at the courtyard gate again. The gate was tightly closed, but she could see pairs of feet through the gaps at the bottom of the gate.
Clearly, many people are eavesdropping.
After today, who knows what versions of the story of the Qi family's only daughter's sudden death will be circulating.
Seeing that Qi Yasheng wasn't going to pursue the matter, Su Ruyi was at a loss.
But Qi Yasheng then said, "Comrade Xia Tianxiu, please leave my home. Please never step into the Qi family compound again, because you are not a child of the Qi family."
Xia Tianxiu stood up unsteadily: "Uncle... Uncle, why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?"
As she spoke, she looked frail and about to collapse again, but Qi Zhao caught her in his arms: "Yue'er, your uncle will take you away! Your uncle won't feel at ease if you stay here any longer!"
Xia Tianxiu looked at the room next to her and cried, "But... but what about my brother Su Yin?"
Qi Zhao supported her forcefully, gritting his teeth as he said, "Take him with me. Yue'er, don't worry, I will definitely find someone to cure your boyfriend's illness. Your uncle swears to you!"
So, under the watchful eyes of Qi Yasheng and Su Ruyi, Qi Zhao carried Su Yin out on his back.
Xia Tianxiu followed along, carrying a bundle—it was a huge bundle containing her and Su Yin's new personal belongings from the Qi family.
Qi Zhao carried Su Yin on his back, while Xia Tianxiu dragged her bundle. The two of them opened the courtyard gate and went outside.
The neighbors who had been watching the commotion outside automatically made way for them, while continuing to point and whisper among themselves.
Qi Yasheng slammed the door shut again.
The moment the door closed, he could no longer bear it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Seeing that Qi Yasheng was already enraged, Su Ruyi quickly took out her needle kit from her bag and pricked him three times in the chest.
Qi Yasheng spat out another mouthful of deep red blood.
Su Ruyi handed him a handkerchief, and Qi Yasheng wiped his mouth before speaking: "Thank you! I... just now it felt like there was a lump in my throat, no, like a stone was stuck in my chest! It feels a little better after this blood came out!"
