Chapter 415 You are all drama queens
"If I knew she would do such a foolish thing, I should have told her father and brother earlier. But Madam, please don't laugh at me. How good is Madam? If you hadn't made her emotional, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
Qin Hanzhang was dissatisfied and retorted to Su Qianqian.
Girls: Can your flattery of each other be any more obvious...
Instead of meeting Zhou Jinxi in the backyard, the two men had someone take her to the small living room and pretended to be unaware of the situation.
"Madam, Master Su...he was forced to jump off the cliff!" Xue Ke's expression at this time was difficult to grasp. The surprise of seeing Su Qianqian and the sadness and anger of losing his master were too conflicting.
"What?" Su Qianqian's smile froze instantly, and she turned her gaze to Zhou Jinxi: "Miss Zhou, what's going on?"
Qin Hanzhang also pretended to be surprised and suppressed, staring at Zhou Jinxi.
Qin Shiliu: You are all drama queens, one more person is enough for you...
Zhou Jinxi was completely speechless at this time. She had already determined that Su Qianqian was Su Qian, but she saw with her own eyes the person who jumped off the cliff. The person she thought would disappear from this world was standing in front of her, staring at her.
"No, no, you are not Su Qianqian, it's impossible..." Zhou Jinxi stepped back step by step.
"What exactly happened?" Qin Hanzhang didn't want to listen to Zhou Jinxi's crazy talk, so he asked with a cold face.
"My Lord, Xue Ke and I..." Qin Shiliu saw that Zhou Jinxi looked dumbfounded and quickly repeated what had happened.
Su Qianqian immediately ordered: "Hurry up and take people to search for him at the foot of the mountain. We must find him alive or dead... Lord Marquis, how can I explain this to my aunt?"
After saying that, Su Qianqian covered her eyes with a handkerchief and began to pretend to cry.
"Go find someone!" Qin Hanzhang gave the order, and then reached out to pat Su Qianqian to comfort her: "Don't be sad, Madam. Perhaps Su Qian is a lucky person, and good things will come out of his misfortune..."
[What a blessing! He almost became an immortal…] Su Qianqian laughed at herself in her heart.
"No, you are not Su Qianqian..." Zhou Jinxi was still muttering. Xue Ke and Qin Shiliu both ran out to look for someone, and no one listened to Zhou Jinxi's nonsense anymore.
"Miss Zhou, I thought that the Zhou and Qin families had been friends for generations, so I looked at you differently. Who would have thought that you would do this to my cousin... Lord Marquis, how should this matter be handled? Did my cousin fall off the cliff in vain?"
Su Qianqian cried and winked at Qin Hanzhang, and Qin Hanzhang tried his best to cooperate:
"Now we can only wait. Once we find... the person, we will know what happened. We have our own laws. How can we let the criminals go unpunished?"
Qin Hanzhang glanced at Zhou Jinxi, but saw that Zhou Jinxi was still staring at Su Qianqian with wide eyes, and had not yet figured out what was going on.
"My poor cousin, even though he doesn't have any special abilities, he is my aunt's only son. How can I explain to my aunt that there is no one left in their family..."
Su Qianqian cried and muttered, stealing glances at Zhou Jinxi.
"Someone, go and invite the Marquis of Jinyang and his wife and the prince to come to your house, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with you!"
While Qin Hanzhang was comforting Su Qianqian, he asked someone to invite Zhou Jinxi's parents and brother.
When the Zhou family arrived, they thought they were here for Zhou Jingnan's marriage, but when they entered the room, they saw Zhou Jinxi sitting there stupidly and Su Qianqian with a sad look on her face.
"What happened?" Marquis Jinyang asked Qin Hanzhang in confusion.
Qin Hanzhang then told him what Xue Ke had learned, emphasizing that Xue Ke and Qin Shiliu secretly followed him up the mountain and saw Su Qian being forced to jump off the cliff.
The three members of the Zhou family all changed their expressions at this time. Madam Zhou had always doted on her daughter, and now she was angry and resentful: "Jinxi, you really did such a thing? Your mother has advised you for so many years, why do you just refuse to change your ways?"
Zhou Jinxi finally came back to his senses, his eyes empty and confused: "Mom, why was I wrong again? I thought that was Su Qianqian, if I knew she was Su..."
"So what if he is Su Qian? How can you be so aggressive and bully others? Although Su Qian does not have a good family background, he is now a fifth-rank official. Miss Zhou forced an official to death. Do you know how serious a crime this is?"
Su Qianqian didn't wait for Zhou Jinxi to say Su Xiaoqian's name, and spoke up to stop her from saying the next word.
"Han Zhang, now that things have come to this, Jin Xi is at your disposal. It's time for her to be taught a lesson."
Marquis Jinyang said no more. He looked at his daughter with disappointment, shook his head and sighed.
"Dad, how could you just ignore me..." Zhou Jinxi realized her troubles only then. She got rid of the person who pretended to be Su Qian, but that person was not Su Qianqian. She would be convicted for this, and her family did not want to help her.
"Jinxi, why don't you listen to your brother? I've told you so many times that there are so many good men to choose from. You are not suitable for him. Even if there is no one else, you will not be husband and wife. Why are you still obsessed with this?"
Zhou Jinghuai knew that no one was really dead, but this incident did cause Zhou Jinxi to get into big trouble, so he had to take the opportunity to give her a good warning so that she would not do anything stupid again.
"Why are we not suitable? How am I not as good as Ji Bingwen, and how am I not as good as Su Qianqian?
I know what Third Brother likes and dislikes, I can help him with what he wants to do, and I can do anything for him. Can they do it? Why can they all be Third Brother’s wife, but I can’t? ”
Zhou Jinxi still couldn't figure it out, it was obvious that she was the one who arrived first.
"Jinxi, why don't you understand? Marriage is not just about liking each other, it also depends on fate. You and Hanzhang are just siblings, not husband and wife. Forcing it will only hurt others and yourself.
So what about Ji Bingwen? She and Hanzhang were already an engaged couple, but they still went their separate ways to make Qianqian and Hanzhang's marriage possible. This is just because they were not destined to be together. ”
After all, Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her daughter and tried to persuade her again.
"You have gone too far today. You have forced someone to death and I, your mother, cannot save you. You can only ask Madam Hou if she can cover up for you if Master Xiao Su really has an accident."
Mrs. Zhou finally said this, which put everything back on track, and things became easier from then on.
[Mrs. Zhou is really insightful and understanding. This is exactly the result I want. 】Su Qianqian praised Mrs. Zhou in her heart.
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
"I...I can't..." Zhou Jinxi was naturally unwilling to bow to Su Qianqian.
"Since she refuses to beg for mercy, I will report her to the authorities tomorrow morning. She wanted to marry Lord Su but was rejected, and she forced a court official to fall off a cliff. It will be up to Your Majesty to decide how to convict her. Lu Jing was even exiled, so I'm afraid..."
Marquis Jinyang gave a strong dose of medicine.
Zhou Jinxi was shocked. She didn't want to be exiled, to leave Xijing in chains and shackles, and never see her parents again in her lifetime.
"It doesn't matter. It's not just her. Our whole family can't escape. Let's go into exile together and support each other." Mrs. Zhou said with a sneer.
