Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 274: She Was Never a Good Person

The courtyard had long fallen silent after Wang Futong’s cries. She now stood meekly behind Xue Qianhao like a quail. Xue Qianhao had returned home earlier, and when he didn’t see her come back for a while, he immediately realized something was wrong. Despite his hurried rush, he couldn’t stop her from causing trouble. Now, he wished he could kick this foolish woman to death. But he couldn’t do that; otherwise, it would only confirm that his wife had been publicly trying to seduce Qin Kaize.

"So you’re the one who laid hands on my wife? How could you, a woman, have such dirty hands? My wife only wanted to keep her job. Maybe she didn’t handle things perfectly, but it was because she was too hasty. It certainly wasn’t with the intentions you think."

Xue Qianhao glared at Su Yijia with anger, his expression as if he might physically attack her but restrained himself with reason.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Kaize stepped forward to block his view.

"Your wife beat my wife and smeared her reputation..."

"Is this going to go on forever?!" Su Yijia, annoyed, pushed Qin Kaize aside and looked up at the man who seemed intent on defending his wife. "You seem to like being cuckolded, but I don’t. Do you really think your wife hasn’t had any improper thoughts about my husband? Don’t assume everyone is a fool who can’t see what you’re doing." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As she spoke, she took a couple of steps closer to Xue Qianhao.

Fearing a real confrontation, Qin Kaize wanted to pull her back to protect her. If it came to a fight, he would handle it himself. After all, he had always been the top performer in national competitions. Even a few more of Xue Qianhao’s kind wouldn’t be enough to stop him. However, Su Yijia didn’t listen to Qin Kaize and instead moved another step closer.

Xue Qianhao’s face twitched, revealing a vicious and twisted expression. But Su Yijia just smiled, "You wouldn’t think I’m so foolish as to believe you wouldn’t hit a woman, would you? I’ve spared you some face, so don’t push your luck. Be careful you don’t end up with nothing."

Her words were not loud but clear enough for the four of them to hear. Wang Futong’s eyes brightened, showing a glimmer of hope. As she looked up, she saw Su Yijia grinning at her with a malicious smile.

"But this is your marital problem. As long as you keep her away from me, it has nothing to do with me." Her voice was quieter but still clear.

Xue Qianhao’s expression changed several times before he could only force a particularly sincere look and bow to her. "I’m sorry! It’s my fault I didn’t manage my wife properly, and she disturbed you and Comrade Qin."

His words confirmed Wang Futong’s punishment and her relentless scheming. But he had no choice but to admit it. With Qin Kaize’s clear warning, if he didn’t deal with this situation, the matter of his domestic violence would be exposed.

Women’s status is not something to be taken lightly. If reported, he would be lucky to stay in his current position. He might even be demoted for some other reason. Domestic violence has a terrible impact. After Xue Qianhao finished speaking, he dragged Wang Futong out.

Wang Futong screamed and tried to resist but was immediately cowed by his fierce glare. She didn’t even have the chance to struggle and followed him obediently.

Once outside the courtyard, she cast a last furious look at Su Yijia, but it met with her beaming smile. Su Yijia grinned widely, feeling satisfied. Although she hated men who hit women, especially husbands who beat their wives, she had no sympathy for a woman who repeatedly tried to undermine her.

Such a vile person deserved to be bound together with someone equally despicable. They should never be separated and allowed to cause trouble for others.

Qin Kaize wasn’t stupid and understood the implications of Su Yijia’s cryptic words. He wasn’t interested in handling matters he didn’t want to deal with. He wasn’t the Women’s Association and thus didn’t interfere in such matters unless it involved him.

Moreover, Xue Qianhao was currently a key target of the security department’s investigation. Once they had all the details, he would be put behind bars. Those bribed and close to him wouldn’t have a good end.

After such a dramatic scene, everyone’s appetite for the meal was spoiled. Seeing that no one was eating, Su Yijia felt a pang of discomfort. The previous wedding banquet in Hu City had been a mess. This time, she had tried to make it perfect but ended up facing trouble after trouble.

Perhaps she should hold the next event somewhere else? The original father had always been a bit stingy, but surely he would at least provide a generous dowry for his daughter’s wedding. Whether the banquet was enjoyable or not, he hadn’t raised her for twenty years without offering something substantial.

She could use the money she received to organize her own event. Next time, she would choose the guest list carefully, ensuring no more strange characters. She glanced at Xin Simeng, Zuo Huilan, and finally at Auntie Chen, who looked pale and scared.

Auntie Chen’s husband immediately sensed something wrong and turned to glare at her angrily. "Did you do something to Commander Qin’s wife?"

"I didn’t," Auntie Chen said, her eyes reddened and sounding particularly wronged. She truly hadn’t done anything; it was just what she had thought. At most, she might have echoed some unkind remarks.

But why was Commander Qin’s wife more precious than others? Couldn’t one say a few unpleasant things?

"Still lying? If you don’t honestly explain, I’ll send you back to your hometown." Her husband threatened coldly.

Whenever they went on a mission, it was always Commander Qin handling the most dangerous tasks. Commander Qin was so capable that even the grass on their graves would grow high. He had warned Auntie Chen several times, yet she still dared to show disrespect to Commander Qin’s wife.

"I... I just said a few unpleasant things. I know I was wrong," Auntie Chen quickly admitted her fault. Seeing her husband’s dark expression, she reached out to tug his arm but was brusquely pushed away.

"It’s useless to talk to me. Go apologize to Commander Qin’s wife," her husband insisted, with an unyielding tone.

Auntie Chen stood frozen. She didn’t want to apologize, especially not publicly. However, seeing Xin Simeng and Zuo Huilan already blushing and nervously approaching Su Yijia, she had no choice but to hurry over as well, fearing that any sign of hesitation would make Su Yijia think she was unwilling.
