Chapter 40: Marriage



"Tell me, what's the matter with that fake White Lotus?" Xie Yun asked.

Qin Minghao quickly stated, "Wife and I really have nothing to do with each other."

"What's her name? Where is she from? What does she do?"

"My wife's name is Xing Fang. She's also from the compound. I don't know what she does." Qin Minghao quickly stated, "My wife and I really have nothing to do with each other. I really don't know what's wrong with her."

Xie Yun looked at Qin Minghao and said, "I believe you, but she must hate us. I'm afraid she'll resort to trickery."

Qin Minghao felt relieved when he heard Xie Yun say that she believed him, and then he began to think about what Xie Yun said.

"We are going to have a wedding banquet at home soon. I wonder if she will cause trouble at the banquet. Besides, the situation is not peaceful now, so we need to take more precautions. It is better to be safe than sorry." Xie Yun said.

Qin Minghao also thought, "I will tell my family and ask everyone to be careful."

Xie Yun thought for a moment and said, "It's best to check our house again and put away all the things that shouldn't appear. We have to be on guard."

"Okay, that's no problem. I'll start cleaning up in a moment."

"Then go ahead." After the two of them finished speaking, Qin Minghao started to act. He collected all the things in the house that could be used by others to make trouble and put them in the secret room of the house.

Xie Yun reminded him again, "There are also books." Xie Yun remembered that the whole novel was about being arrested because of discovering certain books.

After finishing everything she could, Xie Yun started to cook.

In the evening, Qin's father also returned home. After dinner, Qin Minghao and his father stayed in the study for a long time before coming out.

The next morning, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin came. After the two old people entered the house, they liked Xie Yun even more because they saw that she was so beautiful, graceful and not petty at all.

Grandma Qin took Xie Yun's hand and said, "Take this, child. This is given to you by grandma." Then she took out an imperial green bracelet from her pocket and put it on Xie Yun.

Xie Yun took one look and quickly said, "Grandma, this is too valuable. I can't accept it." Xie Yun looked at the bracelet. She had never worn it in her previous life, but she had seen it introduced on TV. A bracelet of this quality would cost tens of millions.

"Just take what grandma gives you. Every daughter-in-law in our Qin family has one."

Xie Yun looked at Qin Minghao.

"Just take what grandma gives you," Qin Minghao said as Xie Yun looked at him.

"Thank you, grandma." Xie Yun accepted it with a smile.

In the afternoon, Xie Yun and Qin Minghao went out and bought all the dishes they were going to cook. They didn't buy too much fine food or too much meat, and they didn't invite too many people, just some close friends. Since the family was a single-child family, they didn't have many relatives.

On the wedding day, an old friend of Grandpa Qin's came to officiate, and Xie Yun and Qin Minghao exchanged vows in front of a portrait of their leader. After all the formalities were completed, the drinking began. Everyone was delighted to be together, toasting each other with joy.

Many people from the compound also came. Xie Yun and Qin Minghao didn't expect to see Xing Fang coming as well. They thought that today was a happy day and they couldn't chase people away, so they could only pay more attention to her.

After Xing Fang arrived, she greeted everyone in the compound. Everyone should not be too awkward when they met each other. When Xing Fang saw so many people coming, she moved towards the kitchen while talking.

She thought that the Qin family was busy and would not notice her, but she did not expect that someone had been secretly watching her. When she reached the kitchen door, she took advantage of no one's attention and threw a handful of white powder into a pot of soup beside her. The powder dissolved into the water as soon as it came into contact with it, and it was not visible at all.

After Xing Fang finished putting it down, she put her hands in her pockets and walked into the yard as if nothing had happened.

Just as I took a step, I heard a woman shouting loudly.

"Xing Fang, what did you put in the soup?"

Xing Fang was startled to see that it was Qin's mother's good friend Liu Yuping, and two aunts from the compound were standing beside her.

I got nervous and said, "Aunt, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything."

Liu Yuping shouted, "You're lying! We clearly saw you put something in the soup."

"I really didn't put anything there, you guys are mistaken."

At this time, everyone in the yard was looking over here. Qin's mother and the others also came over and asked, "What happened to Yuping?"

"Sister Lan, we were chatting here when we saw Xing Fang throw a handful of white powder into this basin."

"I didn't." Xing Fang was now panicked, but still trying to argue.

"We all saw this. What did you put in the soup, Xing Fang?" said an aunt.

"I really didn't put anything there. I just stood here for a while." Xing Fang knew that she couldn't admit anything, otherwise she would be finished.

"You still don't admit it. Stretch out your right hand. There should still be powder on it," said Liu Yuping.

When Xing Fang heard this, she clenched her hands even tighter and refused to take them out no matter what. At this time, everyone came over.

"Xing girl, if you didn't do it, just stretch out your hand and let them see it."

"Exactly. Stretch out your hand."

"If you don't reach out, you're not feeling guilty, right?"

"Yes, stretch out your hand so we can see it."

"Are you guilty of not extending your hand?"

"Xing Fang, tell me what you put in the basin. If you don't tell me, I will report it to the police." Qin Minghao said.

"I didn't put anything in," Xing Fang was still stubborn.

"Xiao Shun, go call the Public Security Bureau," Grandpa Qin said at this time.

Not long after, the police drove over. After they found out what was going on, they asked Xing Fang to stretch out her hand. Xing Fang didn't want to do it at first, but now she had no choice but to do it.

Although some of the substance had melted due to sweating on her hands, some was still visible on her hands. Special personnel from the public security department came with instruments and performed a direct test, which revealed that it was arsenic.

Everyone was horrified when they heard this. It was a blessing that they were discovered. If they hadn't been discovered, someone would have died. Xing Fang was too cruel. She had a grudge against Qin Minghao, but the other person was innocent, and the police took him away directly.

After the person was taken away, everyone talked for a while and then returned to the table to eat. Some of the timid ones said goodbye and went home.

Xie Yun and Qin Minghao sent them to the gate of the courtyard before returning.

After returning, they saw that the banquet was almost over and everyone was chatting. They went back and toasted again, and then everyone finished eating and left. Several aunts helped to clean up before they went home.

After everyone left, the whole family sat in the living room and started talking about Xing Fang. They felt that Xing Fang was finished. This was a murder and evidence had been found. There was little hope for her to get out. Qin's father said he would keep an eye on her.

After a simple dinner, everyone took a rest.

Qin Minghao and Xie Yun returned to the room. Xie Yun took out her pajamas and prepared to take a shower. Qin Minghao also hurried to the bathroom downstairs.
