Qin Guanlin frowned slightly, looking at Qin Shan with a deep gaze. Back then, the old man had told him not to investigate his poisoning anymore.
Although he didn't tell him the specific reason, one could guess that the old man knew that one of his brothers was the one who did it.
The old man himself lost his daughter in the fight for the family fortune, and then watched his brothers fight for so many years.
As people get older, they become more sentimental, and the old man was no exception. In the final moments of his life, he always wanted to see his sons and brothers living in harmony.
Unfortunately, tempted by the prospect of family wealth, the four brothers ultimately never had the chance to truly be brothers and sisters.
Qin Shan was the first of the four brothers to arrive at this small courtyard, so apart from the living room and the bedrooms of the two elderly people, there was nothing else in this small courtyard.
The only guest room has been converted into his meditation room.
Inside the meditation room.
The sandalwood incense wafted around him as Qin Shan sat back down on his prayer mat and began to strike the wooden fish.
The incense and sounds that were supposed to calm the mind only made Qin You, who already had something on his mind, even more agitated. "Second Brother Qin, we came here to hear you tell us who poisoned the old man, not to hear you banging on the wooden fish."
All they do all day is bang, bang, bang! It's so annoying!
Qin Shan, with the solemn and dignified appearance of a high monk, calmly tapped the wooden fish without even lifting his eyelids.
Just before Qin You was about to lose his temper, he stopped tapping the wooden fish, looked up, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
A deep, sinister voice said, "I poisoned the old man!"
"What?"
His words shocked all three Qin brothers.
Qin You stepped forward, ready to attack, "Qin Lao Er, you bastard..."
But after he managed to utter that one curse, his legs, which were striding toward Qin Shan, buckled, and he fell to the ground.
Qin Guanlin immediately realized what was going on, "Second brother, what did you add to the sandalwood incense in this room?"
Qin Shan's face completely lost its kind and benevolent monk appearance, replaced by a sinister smile. "It's nothing, just a little trinket, similar to the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder you see on TV."
"Don't worry, this has no side effects, and the effects will wear off quickly."
Qin Guanlin and Qin Guang also collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with anger and fear as they looked at Qin Shan. "Qin Lao Er, what exactly do you want to do?"
Qin Shan grabbed Qin Guang by the neck, who was questioning him, and said, "What do I want to do? I want you all to die!"
Qin Guanlin closed his eyes, recalling the mutual support between the Su brothers, and then looked at them...
"Qin Lao Er, what the hell are you doing? We're brothers!" Qin You roared.
Qin Shan's face contorted in pain as he raised his foot and kicked Qin You in the face. "To hell with being my brother! And don't call me Qin the Second. My surname isn't Qin. My Buddhist name is Zhiyuan!"
Qin Guanlin tried his best to remain calm and asked, "You hate us so much, you hate the Qin family so much, is it because of Tang Rou?"
"Bang!"
Qin Shan grabbed Qin Guanlin by the collar and punched him in the face, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes. "Don't mention Rou Rou's name, you don't deserve it!"
Qin Guanlin looked at him calmly with his deep gaze, "Then are you worthy?"
"Hehehehehe..." Qin Shan suddenly laughed bitterly, "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, hahaha..."
"So, I want you, I want all of you, to come down with me and kowtow to Rou Rou, to apologize to Rou Rou!"
"Qin Shan, are you fucking insane?! You've been crazy for so many years for a woman, isn't that enough?" Qin You roared again.
"Hahaha, I've gone mad! I've been mad ever since Rou Rou died!"
Qin Guang said rationally, "Second brother, your wife did suffer injustice back then, but it's not our fault! It was the Tang family, not us, who replaced your wife with that poisonous woman Tang Xue."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. If you're going to seek revenge, you should go after the Tang family and Tang Xue!"
Qin Shan's cold gaze fell on Qin Guang.
Qin Guang immediately chuckled awkwardly, "Oh, I forgot, the Tang family members have been dying one after another over the years, and Tang Xue is in prison. She'll never get out in this lifetime."
But second brother, no matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with us!
"None of your business?" Qin Shan narrowed his eyes slightly. "You didn't know when the Tang family changed personnel?"
He held a knife in his hand and pointed it at Qin Guang, asking a question.
Qin Guang chuckled awkwardly, not daring to reply.
"You don't know?" The knife tip moved towards Qin Guanlin.
Qin Guanlin kept his eyes closed; they all knew about this.
The Tang family lied to them back then, saying that Tang Rou had been promiscuous and had contracted an unclean disease. They even sent the medical report to their home.
At that time, the wedding of the two families was imminent.
If the wedding is canceled, not only the Tang family, but their entire family will become a laughing stock in high society.
Left with no other choice, the old man and woman agreed to the Tang family's scheme of switching the beams and pillars.
Knowing Qin Lao Er's personality and his feelings for Tang Rou, they decided to keep it a secret from him. In their view, even if Qin Shan didn't like Tang Xue after the two got married, at most they would just be a couple who treated each other with cold indifference. After all, there are plenty of unhappy couples in wealthy families who treat each other with cold indifference after marriage.
Anyway, the Qin family has a rule against divorce, so life still goes on as usual.
But no one expected...
Qin Lao Er would abandon everything to find Tang Rou, and then plan to give up everything to live with Tang Rou in the countryside for the rest of his life.
