Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 45: What a Big Accusation
Qin Mingcheng watched the couple cuddling closely, feeling as if his heart had been thrown into an aging vinegar jar—sour and angry. He clenched his teeth and tensed every nerve in his body, fearing that he might tremble uncontrollably.
Although he didn’t like his sister-in-law, Su Xinyue, at all, he had spent over a month trying to woo her. When she married him, she had seemed shy and joyful. However, within a short night, all her affection had been redirected towards his elder brother, even more intimate than when she was with him. It was as if she were a fickle lover.
"Enough! The people from the Qin family are indeed something else! You dare to bully Ze’s wife right in front of me. If I leave, what do you plan to do next? Do you want to turn the world upside down?" shouted Xia Weiguo, forcefully tapping his chopsticks on the table.
Qin Mingcheng trembled in fear as he realized the extent of his outburst. His face turned as white as a sheet of bleached paper.
Though Qin Mingcheng didn’t like his sister-in-law, he was at least somewhat intelligent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become Su Xinyue’s first stepping stone.
"Uncle Xia, I spoke up because I didn’t want to be two-faced, saying one thing behind your back and another in your presence. If I didn’t speak up now and something happened later, it would appear that my family intentionally caused her distress and slandered her," he said, straightening his back and meeting Xia Weiguo’s intimidating gaze.
"So, you’ve decided today to label me as a fickle woman and, on top of that, to prepare a green hat for your elder brother in advance?" Su Yijia asked, propping her chin up with one hand, her expression a mix of amusement and seriousness.
Although arguing with the Qin family was a waste of time, she had long anticipated such an accusation.
Throughout history, it’s been said that there are many troubles at a widow’s doorstep. She had a husband now, but in reality, it didn’t make much difference. Moreover, it wasn’t just the Qin family; even the Su family probably didn’t want her to have an easy time.
"I’m just concerned," Qin Mingcheng countered righteously.
"Seems like you’re the last people in this world qualified to question me, right? Didn’t you and Kaize’s red string of fate get manipulated by you? But now that we’ve done as you wished, you’re worrying about this and that. Isn’t that too hypocritical? You look like you’re holding a bellyful of bad intentions," Su Yijia lightly chuckled.
Although she appeared nonchalant, her words sent shivers down the spines of the Qin family members. Qin Mingcheng was unwilling to let this go so easily and looked for opportunities to provoke Su Yijia in front of Xia Weiguo but didn’t dare to continue the argument.
"Alright, I trust Ze’s wife. She would never do anything to harm Ze. If any of you dare to speak such unpleasant words and tarnish her reputation in the future, don’t blame me for being impolite," Xia Weiguo warned with a cold and piercing gaze, sweeping it over the Qin family members.
Qin’s father and Qin’s mother could only force smiles and repeatedly assure him. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Qin Mingcheng had to go along with it, but he sneered inwardly.
Trust her? You can’t trust a woman’s words these days. He was just too naive to believe the two sisters from the Su family.
In no time, Xia Weiguo would also regret the words he spoke today.
But this guy’s calculating appearance was clear as day to Su Yijia.
What is this scheming man hiding in his heart again? He looks so certain and doesn’t seem like he wants to let things run their course. Ha, he’s really not much of a man! Other than deceiving women, he’s utterly useless.
