Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 132: Giving her an Opportunity to Go Mad just for Complete Destruction

Ke Zeming was taken aback by Su Yijia’s words. Could she really say such things? Who was using them to investigate her true parentage? Who found the information about her biological father and then continued to investigate with such audacity? Originally, they just wanted to see if she had intercepted valuable research findings and if there was any conspiracy involving the old professor. However, instead of being free tools, they became the weapons in her hands, leading to the imprisonment of the Su and Lin families. With each passing moment, she was meticulously sealing their fates. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When it came to his turn, he was labeled as misusing his authority?

"Alright, the Qin family’s affairs are private. We should resolve our own issues behind closed doors," Su Yijia emphasized, concerned that he might act too soon, stopping the Qin’s mother who was just about to launch a new scheme. By then, she would get a verbal warning at most, since she hadn’t done anything wrong. But she could be sure that, with the leverage she held and the havoc she had wreaked, the Qin family had prepared something even more severe than the previous encounter. All she had to do was cooperate and add some fuel to the fire.

She didn’t need to wait for Su Xinyue’s man to take action; she could deal with Qin’s mother thoroughly herself. Who knew, she might even reveal some hidden secrets. She couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the imminent spectacle.

Just when Ke Zeming was trying to figure out what Su Yijia was up to, he saw her grin from ear to ear. She seemed to be planning something devious. He had initially thought of advising her, but then he noticed the subtle look in Qin Kaize’s eyes.

Although Qin Kaize didn’t say a word, his expression made his stance clear: he didn’t want Ke Zeming to interfere. It was a clear signal, and he was not going to oppose it.

Ke Zeming was thoughtful; he realized that he needed to keep a close eye on Su Yijia. No matter what, he couldn’t allow her to get involved in any wrongdoing. The Qin family’s miscreants weren’t worth sullying her hands with.

Ignoring their private interactions, Su Yijia began to bottle the distilled beauty cream in her room. She then placed three pre-designed fashion sketches in her bag.

"I need to deliver these designs to the clothing factory. Would you like to come with me?" Su Yijia asked.

The weather was even hotter today than it was before, and she hesitated to have Qin Kaize endure the sweltering heat.

"No, it’s too hot. I’m afraid the weather would take a toll on Kaize’s health," Ke Zeming declined. Normal people suffered greatly from heatstroke, and if Qin Kaize fell victim to it, it would be even more damaging to his health.

"Alright, that works. I’ll be back before dinner," Su Yijia waved to them. Before leaving, she reminded Ke Zeming not to let Qin Kaize sit for too long and to ensure he took a good nap.

Once she left the Qin residence, Su Yijia didn’t head directly to the clothing factory. Instead, she carried her pre-designed parts drawings and went to find a carpenter. It wasn’t the old carpenter Gao Huabin had to make the wheelchair and furniture before, but a private carpenter working in the black market.

A while ago, when Su Yijia was exploring the black market, she had asked for an address from him, telling him that she might need custom work in the future. She hadn’t expected him to recognize her after this much time.

"Hello, Master, I would like to have some parts made. I’ve already drawn the dimensions and style. Can you help me with this?" Su Yijia handed the carpenter a drawing with the parts she needed, which she had separated from the oil extraction machines.

He carefully examined each component before nodding. "It can be done. These parts are not too difficult to make, and it should take about two days. However, they might be a bit pricey because they require detailed polishing."

Su Yijia didn’t immediately agree and asked, "How much?"

"Thirty should do," the carpenter calculated in his mind, considering the time needed for this project. He added five more because of the intricate polishing work.

Su Yijia wasn’t too concerned about the price, especially when it came to these parts. Plus, several of them had mortise and tenon joints, so the price seemed reasonable.

"Alright! I’ll give you half of the payment now, and I’ll come back in two days to pick up the parts. If everything is fine, I’ll pay the remaining half. Is that okay with you?" Su Yijia asked.

The carpenter agreed without any fuss. After paying him, Su Yijia headed to the black market. She found Qiu Yanqing sitting under a tree, fanning himself and looking a little agitated.

He saw Su Yijia without any items in her hands and quickly got up to greet her. However, he abruptly turned back, threw on his dry clothes, and returned to her.

"You didn’t bring anything with you today? Did you leave them somewhere?" he asked anxiously.

"No, I’m not here to sell today. I wanted to ask if you know any machinists from the machine shop. I have something that needs a machinist’s help," Su Yijia explained, her face showing some concern.

Qiu Yanqing immediately assumed that there might be an issue with her equipment for making the Whitening Lotion or refining oil, even though he didn’t know how she had acquired such equipment in the past. He decided to help her resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

"I know someone, and we have a good relationship. If you have the blueprints, he should be able to help you," Qiu Yanqing said.

"I do have blueprints, and I’ve marked the appearance and dimensions of the parts," Su Yijia replied, pulling out another piece of paper from her bag. She wasn’t worried about him getting hold of the manufacturing process for these small-scale oil extraction machines.

Unless Qiu Yanqing had prior knowledge of how to make these machines, there was no way he could decipher anything from just a few components, especially when the parts for two different machines were mixed together.

"What is this? It doesn’t seem like you can assemble a machine with these parts," Qiu Yanqing said curiously but quickly added, "I’m just talking casually. You don’t have to mind me. These parts don’t look too complicated, but he’ll need at least three days to make them. Is that time frame acceptable for you?"

"Time is not a problem, but what about the cost?" Su Yijia wasn’t in a hurry to obtain the parts, so she was more concerned about the price. Although the metal parts were relatively small in quantity, they had a large surface area. Iron was particularly expensive in the current market and acquiring it privately could be costly.

"The prices are quite high! For two iron boxes of this size, it would cost at least 30 yuan each. If he’s making the iron himself and needs to make a profit, I estimate it could be around 200 yuan, but I can’t say for sure," Qiu Yanqing cautiously said, not wanting to upset the young lady in front of her by giving too high a quotation.

"Alright, I’ll give you 200 yuan. You have him make it for me, and we’ll make any adjustments as needed, more or less, alright?" Su Yijia agreed without haggling and paid the money in full. In fact, she had already calculated the prices in her mind, initially expecting the metal components to cost over 300 yuan. However, they were much cheaper than she had anticipated.

This sudden sense of gaining something at a lower cost brought a little joy to her heart. With Qiu Yanqing’s ability to quote a price of around 200 yuan, it was likely that it wouldn’t exceed that amount, as he knew the market much better than she did.
