Su Yiqing followed Old Madam Qin into the study.
Madam Qin took the initiative to speak, saying, "No matter what, our Qin family is in the wrong in this matter. Mr. Su, however you wish to handle it, I will have no complaints."
"I will pursue legal action," Su Yiqing said in a cold and ruthless tone. "Furthermore, Madam Qin, regardless of whether you intervene or not, I can assure you that your second daughter-in-law will never have the chance to leave prison in her lifetime!"
The implication was that even if it meant using the entire Su family's power to oppose the Qin family, he would never let Tang Xue, who had harmed Su Qianqian, go unpunished.
Old Madam Qin noticed the ruthless glint in Su Yiqing's deep eyes, but her gaze was full of admiration.
If she had such a brave, resourceful, decisive, loyal, and protective person behind her, the Qin family wouldn't have ended up fighting amongst themselves over a little money.
Huan'er from the second wife's family is quite good. Although she is only sixteen years old, it is already clear that she is calm, mature, courageous, and resourceful.
It's a pity that he has a mother like Tang Xue, who even arranged a marriage between him and Li Wanjun.
"Mr. Su, please rest assured, I will not interfere in this matter!" Old Madam Qin assured him.
"Also, I hope that after this matter is over, our two families can still be friends."
Su Yiqing frowned slightly.
He has almost completely investigated the Qin family's situation today.
Tang Xue, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family who hurt Xixi, has been exceptionally indulged by the Qin family's second son because he wronged her back then. Whether it was when the old master Qin was in charge or now when the old lady Qin is in charge, she has been treated with extraordinary leniency.
However, Tang Xue is not a simple character. She not only cultivates relationships everywhere, but also makes various underhanded moves within the Qin family.
She wanted her branch of the family to receive more property after Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin passed away.
Su Yiqing thought that Old Madam Qin would protect and indulge Tang Xue as before, but she did not expect her to have this attitude.
However, after a moment of surprise, he realized that Madam Qin was still unwilling to give up and still believed that their mother was her daughter.
Since Madam Qin hadn't explicitly stated it, he couldn't say it directly either.
He could only reply, "Thank you for your kind words, Madam Qin. As businessmen, we naturally prefer to have more friends than more enemies."
The implication is that it's best to remain friends in the business world and not involve family members.
“Mr. Su is right.” After agreeing with a smile, Madam Qin continued, “Mr. Su, I have another favor to ask. Today, Ruan Ruan took my husband’s pulse and said that he is poisoned, not sick.”
She also said that her second cousin, Mr. Xiao Yiyi, might be able to cure my old man's poisoning.
I wonder if I could ask you…
“I have no authority to make decisions regarding Mr. Xiao’s affairs,” Su Yiqing said directly.
Madam Qin's expression stiffened for a moment. "Alright, I understand. I'll discuss it with Mr. Xiao after he's finished with his work."
At this time, apart from the four brothers of the Qin family who dared not sleep, Xia Xingyun and her daughter Li Wanjun also dared not sleep in the Qin family mansion.
Although what happened this afternoon started when she told Tang Xue that Su Xixi was the child of a mistress, what happened afterward had nothing to do with her.
She had no idea what the old woman was planning to do by keeping her here and confiscating all her communication devices, including her cell phone.
Although this constitutes illegal detention, she wouldn't dare sue the Qin family even if she had ten times the courage!
Li Wanjun sat on the edge of the bed, showing none of the nervousness that Xia Xingyun displayed.
She even looked at Xia Xingyun, who was pacing back and forth in front of her, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Mom, stop spinning it, it's giving me a headache."
Xia Xingyun quickly sat down and apologized to Li Wanjun, saying, "Junjun, I'm sorry, Mommy is just a little nervous."
Li Wanjun frowned. "Why are you so nervous?"
“Jun Jun, you’re too young to know, but when the old lady of the Qin family was young, she was known as the Iron-Blooded Lady. She cares so much about that little bastard, I’m worried that if that little bastard really died, she’ll kill us to avenge him.”
Li Wanjun scoffed, "Why should she kill us to avenge that bastard? Did we even touch that bastard? Did we even lay a finger on him?"
"We didn't do it; it was all done by that stupid and impulsive woman, Tang Xue."
Xia Xingyun gave her daughter a reproachful look, "Junjun, how can you talk like that? That's your future mother-in-law!"
Li Wanjun looked at Xia Xingyun with increasing disdain. "Mom, are you stupid? Our goal is to marry into the Qin family and get their property. As long as my engagement with Brother Qin Huan is still valid, and I can marry Brother Qin Huan smoothly, wouldn't it be better if that stupid woman Tang Xue didn't have to put pressure on me?"
Xia Xingyun suddenly realized and proudly praised, "My Junjun is so smart!"
"But, Junjun, what does the old woman mean by locking us up now?" Xia Xingyun was still a little nervous.
Li Wanjun said disdainfully, "Because we are eyewitnesses, if she wants to downplay the incident, she has to ensure that no one tells anyone about it."
As witnesses who saw the whole thing, it's perfectly normal for her to detain us.
Xia Xingyun's eyes lit up. "So, that old woman will be coming soon to discuss our terms for keeping quiet?"
"Probably," Li Wanjun said casually, fiddling with something in her hands.
