Qin Sihan burst into the room and immediately launched into a tirade, causing the faces of the Li and Xia families to darken.
As the wife of an official, Old Madam Li was always treated with deference wherever she went. Now, Old Madam Qin showed her no respect and directly wanted to annul the engagement between Li Wanjun and Qin Huan, which infuriated her.
Now that Qin Sihan had scolded her like that, she couldn't control her anger any longer. She said in a deep voice, "Is this the kind of daughter your Qin family raised? If this is how girls are raised, you can imagine what kind of good sons you can raise."
It's better to call off this engagement!
Pei Liuxuan, who was accompanying Madam Qin, also objected.
Her daughter was deceived by Li Wanjun, and was punished with beatings and confined to the ancestral hall. Now, the Li family is even looking down on her daughter.
"No matter what my daughter is like, she's still better than your whole family of snakes and scorpions!"
At such a young age, he tricked a child into pulling out the old man's oxygen tube, intending to kill him. What will he be like when he grows up?
"Your Li family has such a well-mannered daughter, our Qin family really can't afford her!" Pei Liuxuan said coldly without any politeness.
Upon hearing her words, Li Wanjun and her daughter Xia Xingyun exchanged a glance.
Li Wanjun then sadly wiped away her tears, "Aunt Pei, I know that yesterday, Hanhan was punished by Grandma Qin for pulling out Grandpa Qin's oxygen tube, and you felt very sorry for her."
But no matter what, you can't slander me just to clear Hanhan's name of her mistakes... Waaah..."
She had already chosen the location while talking to Qin Sihan, and she was certain that there were no surveillance cameras there.
Even if Qin Sihan confesses that she asked her to remove the oxygen tube, as long as she doesn't admit it, the Qin family has no evidence and can't do anything to her!
Hearing Li Wanjun's words, Old Mrs. Li became even angrier.
He slammed his imposing dragon-headed cane on the ground, the sound of it hitting the wooden floor making a dull thud. "Your Qin family is just making baseless accusations against my granddaughter. Do you really think our Li family has no one left?"
Madam Qin's icy gaze swept over Pei Liuxuan as well.
This eldest daughter-in-law is usually quite shrewd, but she gets confused whenever her precious daughter is involved.
They have no evidence in this matter, and making a fuss will not only do them no good, but will also give the Li family leverage to accuse them.
Just as Madam Qin was about to speak.
Qin Sihan proudly held her head high and said loudly, "Who says we're just making things up? We have evidence! Li Wanjun is a big liar and a big bad guy!"
As she spoke, her short, chubby little finger pressed a button on the brick-making machine that Xiao Ruanruan had given her.
Xia Xingyun's voice came out, "Daughter, don't worry. As long as we wait until Old Master Qin dies and the Qin family falls into chaos, Qin Huan will naturally know that only we can help him."
By then, he'll be firmly in our grasp!
"Mom, we don't need to wait! That little idiot Qin Sihan got beaten up by Su Ruanruan and the others, and she wants to get revenge on them."
I've already told her to unplug Grandpa Qin's oxygen tube and then frame Su Ruanruan. Given Grandpa Qin's current condition, he won't last long without oxygen before he dies.
"If Qin Sihan successfully frames Su Ruanruan, all the better. If she fails, the Qin family will only blame that little fool Qin Sihan, and it won't have anything to do with us!"
...
Xia Xingyun and Li Wanjun looked extremely grim.
Li Wanjun stared intently at the brick-making machine in Qin Sihan's hand.
Madam Qin was furious. "Fine, fine, very fine! Madam Li, I don't want to argue with you about the upbringing of the younger generation today."
Instigating my granddaughter to murder her own grandfather is a violation of the law.
"Liu Xuan, call the police!"
Madam Li glared fiercely at Xia Xingyun and Li Wanjun, who had embarrassed her, and said, "Wait!"
"Madam Qin, whether the recording your granddaughter has is real or fabricated, we'll leave that aside for now."
Even if it were true, my Wanjun is not yet fourteen years old and is a minor, and besides, your Grandpa Qin was not actually harmed because of it.
Even if they call the police, at most they'll just give Wanjun and Xingyun a lecture.
Instead, we've escalated the situation, and it's embarrassing for everyone. Don't you think so?
The Li family has been officials for generations, and Madam Li spent her entire life immersed in officialdom, so she was very clear about these simple legal principles.
She observed Madam Qin's expression and continued, "Madam Qin, how about this? The marriage between Qin Huan and Wan Jun was just a joke between Xingyun and Tang Xue, so let's just let it go."
"From now on, if there's anything about the Qin family that our Li family can help with, just say the word, and I'll definitely take it on!"
While explaining the consequences of calling the police, Madam Li also promised the Qin family benefits.
Old Madam Qin's face was gloomy. Although she was unwilling, she knew that in this situation, even if she called the police, she had no choice.
The police also found it difficult to determine the sentence because the old man had not suffered any specific injuries. In addition, the Li family's influence in officialdom meant that the matter could only be dropped in the end.
Her expression softened. "Now that the marriage arrangements for the two children have been finalized, please proceed!"
She directly told them to leave, showing no interest in the benefits promised by Old Mrs. Li.
The Qin family has withstood the test of time and stood strong for three hundred years, and this connection with the Li family is certainly not a factor.
Only a fool like Tang Xue would think that associating with the Li family, who have been officials for generations, would bring her immense benefits!
Madam Li left the Qin family with a large group of people. Xia Lanjiao was already inferior to her mother-in-law, and now that her daughter had done such a thing, she was even more like a quail, not daring to utter a word.
Li Wanjun was still crying after she left the Qin family's gate.
Already furious, Old Madam Li slapped Li Wanjun hard across the face, yelling, "Cry, cry, cry! Your grandma is standing right here, not dead yet, what are you wailing about?"
Seeing her daughter being beaten, Xia Xingyun quickly stepped forward, "Mom, Wanjun, she..."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Li slapped her across the face again. "And you, without a mother with such a wicked heart as you, how could my perfectly good granddaughter have turned out like this?"
"You go back and pack your things right now, get back abroad, and don't you dare come back here and embarrass yourself again!"
Madam Li was furious; she had never been so humiliated in her life!
If it weren't for the fact that divorce would also affect her son's reputation, she would never have been able to tolerate Xia Xingyun.
Xia Lanjiao wanted to go forward and make a scene, but Xia Xingyun held her back.
But Madam Li still gave her a disdainful look, "This little impoverished family really can't raise any good children!"
After Madam Li finished speaking, she got into the car, leaving Xia Lan jumping up and down in a huff.
