Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 343: The Old Su Yijia Is Gone

The most annoying thing when trying to sleep is being disturbed halfway through. Earlier, when they received good news, Su Yijia could tolerate it. But now, early in the morning, someone was banging loudly on their door. If she still had any patience, she’d be practically a saint.

Quickly getting dressed, Su Yijia, with her disheveled hair resembling a little squirrel with frizzy fur, peeked out from the window. She saw a line of people outside the door. At the front was the man from last night’s photos, followed by several uniformed police officers. Su Xinyue was behind them, crying and wiping her tears.

Zhu Zirui and Gao Huabin had already reached the courtyard and were looking up at Su Yijia.

"Open the door," Qin Kaize said, pulling his wife into his arms and instructing the people below. He gently combed Su Yijia’s hair with a comb, skillfully braiding it into two plaits and tying them with a black-and-white polka-dotted silk ribbon. Despite the situation, he remained calm and unhurried. They even went to the bathroom together, as there was one on the second floor.

Meanwhile, the group of people who had been blocked in the living room were having a tense standoff with Gao Huabin and Zhu Zirui.

"Get out of the way! What are you trying to do? Are you openly shielding criminals? If you keep this up, don’t blame us for arresting all of you," one of the police officers warned sternly.

Zhu Zirui responded with indifference, "Criminals? Do you have concrete evidence? Don’t just accuse people without proof and use us as pawns."

"Exactly! We’ve said it before, you barged in here, and our sister was woken from her sleep. She needs time to get dressed and wash up. You don’t have any concrete evidence yet, and you’re behaving like this?" Gao Huabin added.

The officers realized that storming in without evidence would be inappropriate. Only Su Xinyue, hiding at the back, muttered in disbelief, "Sleeping? It’s already eight o’clock! My sister used to wake up at six to make breakfast for the whole family. After what happened last night, she can still sleep soundly?"

Gao Huabin shot her a fierce look, "Our sister hasn’t done anything wrong. Stop trying to sully her reputation."

"Whether she’s done anything or not, someone who used to get up at six should be up and about by now. Maybe she’s trying to run away," Su Xinyue, no longer caring about her previous image, seized the opportunity to strike back after being suppressed for so long.

Su Xinyue and her mother felt that Su Yijia was no longer the timid girl she used to be before marriage. Her mother even suspected they had administered the wrong medicine, causing the "little slut" to end up in trouble. They thought the current body housed someone entirely different. However, her father believed their scheming had driven her mad. After all, indiscriminate attacks that disregard reputation aren’t the actions of a sane person. They had even targeted Su Yijia’s family, dug up the Su family’s ancestral graves, and more--things only someone truly deranged could do.

Su Xinyue viewed Su Yijia as a malevolent spirit. Besides being insane, a malevolent spirit also disregards everything around them. However, Su Xinyue had no one to confide in about this suspicion. Even if someone believed her, just voicing such thoughts could get her in trouble.

Zhu Zirui, seeing Su Xinyue, who was hiding and grimacing in the back, sneered, "What kind of people are your family? Just a bunch of beasts! Your parents already caused our sister’s biological mother’s death and stole her mother’s money. They’re already getting their comeuppance, and you still have the audacity to speak out?

But our leader is different! He cherishes our sister, and breakfast is bought from a state-owned restaurant. Our sister can sleep in as long as she wants. It’s clear that someone like you, who constantly fights with your husband, can never understand this."

Su Xinyue’s face turned ugly. Did she not understand? She had two men who cherished her. Was it such a big deal to wake up late and have breakfast waiting?

But she couldn’t openly voice this, and her anger was palpable.

"I think you’re the one who caused Qin Mingchen’s death. Before you two got married, you were already fighting. After marriage, there wasn’t a single day without trouble. Ask the old neighbors; who doesn’t know?" Gao Huabin scrutinized Su Xinyue with suspicion.

Su Xinyue straightened her back, "You’re talking nonsense! I was at the hospital last night, and the patients in my room can vouch for me."

"Last night, Zirui and I can also vouch for our leader and sister," Gao Huabin countered.

They all knew the true nature of the situation. However, since their leader hadn’t revealed everything and Ke Zeming hadn’t directly clarified things, they engaged in this pointless argument to delay the officers from disturbing the couple’s morning routine.

"You two can’t be witnesses; you’re Qin Kaize’s people and will definitely cover for him," Su Xinyue argued.

"So now you’re not calling him Brother Kaize? Just yesterday, you were so affectionate, calling him Brother Kaize and even clinging to him, crying and looking pitiful," Su Yijia descended the stairs, sarcastically mocking.

As expected, Su Xinyue’s face changed immediately. She instinctively looked at the man at the front, who was now glaring at her with a dark expression.

Trying to defend herself, Su Yijia continued, "So, who is the man at the front? What’s his role in this?"

"I’m Lv Jingyi from the administrative office..."

"And what’s this got to do with you? Since when did it become your place to interfere?" Su Yijia interrupted him before he could finish.

Her chin lifted high, combined with the height of the stairs, gave her an air of superiority.

Lv Jingyi knew this was just a common tactic to assert dominance and didn’t take offense. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Meanwhile, Su Xinyue was seething with rage, wishing she could charge up and tear Su Yijia apart. This vile person had always looked down on the Qin family and now had the audacity to flaunt her disdain. Su Xinyue could hardly understand how Su Yijia, despite being so close to death, still had the nerve to act so brazenly.
