Su Xixi glanced at Qin Huan, who was washing vegetables with his older brother and Su Lei. Judging from the distance, Qin Huan couldn't hear her, so she whispered to Ruan Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, after that little mute girl said those things about Li Wanjun, will Li Wanjun just leave?"
"If she leaves, our plans will fall through, and we'll have wasted our time staying with the Qin family."
Little Ruanruan is carefully controlling the heat, tending to the bright red broth simmering in the pot.
Hearing her sister's question, the little girl replied with a disdainful tone, "Don't worry, she won't want to leave!"
"Why?" Susie couldn't understand at all. "That little mute girl just said all that to her, and she still won't leave. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
Little Ruanruan looked at her older sister seriously and asked, "Sister, if your older brother arranged a marriage for you with someone like Qin Huan, would you chase after Qin Huan like Li Wanjun did?"
Susie shook her head violently, brandishing the knife she had just used to cut the rabbit, and said fiercely, "If he really were my childhood sweetheart, I wouldn't just chase after him, I might want to pin him to the dissection table."
“Yes, you’ll hate her, but Li Wanjun won’t hate her at all,” Xiao Ruanruan said earnestly.
"This is because Li Wanjun likes not only Qin Huan, but also the Qin family's money. Qin Huan is not the only child in the Qin family. Li Wanjun and her mother chose Qin Huan for their engagement because Qin Huan is essentially fatherless."
"Once they gain control of Qin Huan, all of his assets will be theirs."
"Moreover, now that Tang Xue is in prison, they will see Qin Huan as an easy target and will be even less likely to let go."
Su Xixi was completely confused by all these convoluted things, but when she heard the name Tang Xue, her eyes lit up. "Hey, the little mute just said that he used to be Tang Xue's son?"
What does that mean? Does it mean he's disowning his own mother just because she's in jail?
"This..." Little Ruanruan looked at her older sister's somewhat angry expression, patted her shoulder with her little hand and said, "Sister, you should ask Qin Huan yourself later."
——
On the other side.
Li Wanjun was angrily calling Xia Xingyun from the Qin family's guest room.
After telling her everything that had just happened, she couldn't help but feel a little worried when she mentioned that Qin Huan wanted to break off the engagement. "Mommy, that old woman in the Qin family has never really liked me."
Now that Tang Xue isn't stopping us, if Brother Qin Huan goes to find her, she'll definitely agree to annul the engagement. What should we do?
"Silly daughter, you're worrying too much." Xia Xingyun said confidently, "It's precisely because Tang Xue is no longer here that Qin Huan is even less willing to break off the engagement with you."
Just think about the Qin family's situation. So many people are just waiting for those two old geezers to kick the bucket so they can divide up the inheritance.
"Qin Huan is now all alone. If he doesn't even want our help, then when it comes time to divide the inheritance, he won't just get a share; he'll be devoured by the other, covetous members of the Qin family."
Li Wanjun thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. Now only she could help Brother Qin Huan. If Brother Qin Huan still wanted to break off the engagement with her, he would be stupid!
With that thought in mind, she immediately decided to stay patiently at the Qin family's house, and wait for Qin Huan to calm down before he naturally came to find her.

At this moment, Xiao Ruanruan, Su Xixi, Su Xiaowu, Su Lei, and Qin Huan were sitting together, enjoying a lively rabbit hot pot meal.
The bright red broth of the hot pot was bubbling away. The rabbit meat, which had been stir-fried first, was then soaked in the spicy and savory flavor of the broth, making it tender and delicious.
Even though the little ones were already sticking their tongues out from the spiciness, they just couldn't stop eating.
Qin Huan's originally pale face was now as red as a monkey's bottom from the spiciness.
The Qin family servants standing to the side looked worriedly at the fiery red hot pot, then nervously watched Qin Huan.
Their young master Qin Huan is allergic to chili peppers. Normally, when cooking for him, we dare not touch a single chili pepper, but now…
Su Xixi already knew why Qin Huan said he used to be Tang Xue's son. Now she felt that Qin Huan was even more pitiful than her and Su Lei. At least they hadn't been deceived and had to recognize a thief as their mother for so many years.
Driven by this empathy, she took extra care of Qin Huan.
Holding the serving chopsticks, she kept putting food on Qin Huan's plate, saying, "Come on, little mute, eat more. Once your stomach is full, your heart won't feel so bad."
The Qin family's servants watched with bated breath as Su Xixi served Qin Huan dishes, their hearts pounding in their throats. The dishes looked spicy; what if young master Qin Huan continued eating like that…
However, remembering the instructions that Young Master Qin Huan had given them privately just now, they dared not expose him!
"Little mute, come on, have a piece of tofu. It's so soft and tender, it's delicious." Su Xixi had just put a piece of tofu into Qin Huan's bowl.
Then they saw Qin Huan frowning and shaking his head repeatedly.
Before she could even ask Qin Huan what was wrong, a loud thud was heard, and Qin Huan had already fallen straight to the ground.
The nervous servants rushed forward immediately.
They breathed a sigh of relief; the moment had finally arrived.
Although Qin Huan only experienced a chili allergy once, initially when he was unaware of it, he never had one again.
However, the Qin family servants were very well trained in first aid and quickly and methodically got Qin Huan back to his room, where the family doctor was already waiting.
As soon as Qin Huan arrived, the family doctor immediately put him on oxygen and intravenous fluids.
Su Xixi, who ran over after him, turned pale with fright. "Why did the little mute boy suddenly faint? Could he... have died of anger?"
