Hou Guifang and the others rushed home and were shocked to hear about Sheng Qian's situation.
“I’ll go to the clothing store right away to see Xiaoqian. This child, how could she not tell her family about such a big thing that happened?”
Lan Peizhi said, "I'll go with you."
Since Elder Long and Long Haifeng are physically unable to travel, Hou Guifang and the others had to go and check on them.
They hadn't been notified by Long Xingzhou; the assistant on the other end of the phone said they were still in a meeting.
The family didn't bother him.
Sheng Qian was working at the shop. She had just seen Song Zhan off in the morning and had eaten lunch not long before she saw Hou Guifang and the others rushing in.
"Aunt Fang?"
"Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you? You didn't tell the family about such a big thing," Hou Guifang scolded her immediately.
Liu Hongfang and the others were completely confused. "Xiaoqian, what happened here?"
"You didn't know?" Hou Guifang asked in surprise.
"What should we know?" Yang Ping looked over with a puzzled expression.
Sheng Qian said, "Nothing happened. It's Aunt Fang's business. Aunt Fang, let's go outside to talk. This place is a bit cramped."
As he spoke, he pulled Hou Guifang outside.
Judging from Yang Ping's and Deng Zhiying's reactions, Lan Peizhi and Deng Zhiying knew that Sheng Qian had kept it a secret even from those close to her.
"Xiaoqian, your family heard about what happened to you and they're so worried. How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Hou Guifang asked impatiently as soon as she stepped outside.
"I never expected that the Song family's child to be so vicious, actually hiring someone to commit murder. Xiaoqian, you don't need to worry, the old man has always been protective of his own, your matter absolutely cannot be let off so easily." Deng Zhiying was furious.
Previously, they were quite supportive of Song Huayu becoming the Long family's daughter-in-law, thinking that she and Long Yunting were a good match.
In retrospect, they misjudged people.
Or perhaps Song Huayu is a cunning young woman who hides her other side so well.
Lan Peizhi said, "It's still too dangerous outside, Xiaoqian. You should go home and stay for a while. There will be people guarding the house, so this kind of terrible thing as hiring someone to kill won't happen."
“Your aunt is right, go home and stay for a while,” Hou Guifang quickly agreed.
"Don't rush to refuse. If Yunting finds out about this, he'll tie you up and bring you home," Deng Zhiying added.
Sheng Qian shook her head again: "It's not that I don't want to go back to the Long family, it's just that it's more convenient for me to be outside. This incident was an accident, and even though it happened, I wasn't injured, so everyone doesn't need to worry about me."
“How can we not worry? Things have developed like this,” Lan Peizhi said. “We didn’t know Song Huayu was like this before. Now that we know, how could we dare to leave you out alone?”
“Song Huayu has only herself to blame now, so Aunt Fang and you don’t need to worry about me too much,” Sheng Qian said. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to live in the Long family, but rather that it was more convenient for her to do things outside.
If she were bound by family responsibilities, she wouldn't be able to carry out what she's doing.
Most importantly, Sheng Qian did not want the Long family to know what she was doing.
Seeing how nervous the three of them were, Sheng Qian was even less likely to mention that she had made a cut.
No matter what Hou Guifang said, she couldn't persuade Sheng Qian.
Finally, he went straight into the shop, taking the opportunity to learn needlework from Yang Ping and the others while keeping an eye on Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Seeing that these wealthy women were willing to set aside their status and learn seriously, Yang Ping and the others were very willing to teach them.
Meanwhile, the Song family...
Another layer of pressure was applied.
After Song Zhan and the others were taken away, Song Yuzhou and his generation gathered together to discuss the matter.
They thought it would just be a one- or two-hour interview.
But when Song Yuzhou made the call, he couldn't reach the person.
It was almost evening, but Song Zhan and the others still hadn't sent back any news.
For a moment, everyone panicked.
"Yu Zhou, what do we do now?" Song's mother and the others were all extremely anxious.
No one expected that Song Huayu's little act would cause such a mess in the family.
It's all because of Song Huayu!
Song Yuzhou said, "I'm going out for a bit. You don't need to wait for me for dinner."
"You're still injured, how are you going to get out!"
"My injury is healed," but now is not the time to rest.
After getting dressed, Song Yuzhou drove off with his entourage.
Song Yuzhou went out to find a way.
He didn't return until late at night, and the Song family couldn't sleep, all waiting for him.
"Yu Zhou, how are you?"
Song's mother asked urgently.
Song Yuzhou shook his head wearily. "The situation is much more serious than we thought. It seems the Long family has intervened."
"What? The Long family has made a move? What do they mean? Has our Song family offended them?!" Song's mother shouted excitedly.
Song Yuzhou looked at his mother without saying a word.
Song's mother stiffened involuntarily.
How could she forget that Sheng Qian is the daughter-in-law of the Long family?
Even so, the Long family shouldn't kick someone when they're down.
That's so unfair.
That's so despicable.
"Even if Hua Yu did that kind of thing to Sheng Qian, it's a matter between two young people. The Long family's intervention is clearly kicking someone when they're down. Perhaps the Long family has been watching this day for a long time," Song's mother speculated darkly.
“Mom, it’s a bit surprising that the Long family took action, but I understand why they did it. Sheng Qian has long been a member of the Long family. Hua Yu did such a terrible thing to Sheng Qian. Are you saying the Long family will just sit idly by? That’s not the Long family’s style.” Song Yuzhou pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
