Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 27: Was This a Deliberate Attempt to Shift Blame?
Su’s mother’s words were left unfinished as Su’s father slapped her across the face.
"Old Su, did I say something wrong? Why did you hit me?" Su’s mother covered her face, looking incredulously at Su’s father.
"Keep your mouth in check. Stop calling him a cripple. Qin Kaize may be lying there, but he’s wealthy, and he has connections. Look at Chief Xia, treating him like his own son. And Qin Kaize’s grandparents are surely no ordinary folks. With Su Xin’s current condition, if you want to have a good life in the Qin family, you must not offend her sister and her brother-in-law. In the future, if we want some preferential treatment, it will depend on our eldest daughter. Look at Qin Mingcheng and his family; they are not easy to get along with, are they?" Su’s father explained, suppressing his anger.
Although Su Xin didn’t want to admit it, she had to face the reality.
"Mom, let’s be nicer to Sister in the future. I know she doesn’t want to leave the dowry to help the family, but now, no one can make her change her mind. You and Dad raised her, and in the future, there must be a way to make her be filial to you," Su Xin advised gently, holding onto her mother’s arm.
"It’s all your fault!" Su’s mother angrily poked Su Xin’s head, but she had to accept the situation. After all, as the saying goes, a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. As long as they were there, there was hope.
After Su Yijia left the house, many women surrounded her, wanting to know what had happened after she married into the Qin family.
Su Yijia had no patience to explain and simply said that she was no longer related to Qin Mingcheng, and that her sister Su Xin would marry him later.
This statement was equivalent to admitting that something substantial had happened between her sister and her brother-in-law. Otherwise, who would willingly give up such an outstanding husband?
For a moment, everyone in the family felt that Su Xinyue was worthless.
It was the middle of summer, and the sun was scorching hot. It took nearly twenty minutes to walk from her house to the state-owned restaurant.
Su Yijia used to stay in air-conditioned rooms all the time, and she felt like a creature that required constant temperature control.
Although the original host’s body could handle it, after the heated argument, she felt even more irritable.
After some thought, she decided that after having lunch, she would go to the Qin family to use Qin Kaize’s fan and buy some mung bean soup and watermelon to cool down.
Suddenly, a person rushed towards her. Su Yijia instinctively moved to avoid him.
However, that person collided with her as if he had no eyes.
Su Yijia suspected him of being a pickpocket but didn’t pay too much attention. Although she had a shoulder bag, she had stashed everything, including the bankbook, receipts, and packaging of her wristwatch, in her personal warehouse. Even if this man put his hand into her bag, he wouldn’t steal anything.
She was in a hurry to buy groceries and didn’t want to get involved in any heroics. However, when the man’s hand left her bag, Su Yijia clearly felt that her bag had become heavier. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He hadn’t stolen anything but had placed something inside?
Was he trying to frame someone and shift the blame?
Was it aimed at Qin Kaize?
Su Yijia’s mind quickly raced. Without looking back, she discreetly placed everything from her bag into her personal warehouse.
The State-Owned Restaurant in Hu City was usually quite crowded. While waiting in line, Su Yijia kept an eye out for anyone who might be trying to intentionally bump into her.
However, when she looked around, she spotted the black-market traders sitting at a table, enjoying their meal.
