Chapter 58 Someone in Charge

  Qin Dai Xin was completely speechless, she finally knew why Su Shi would change from wife to concubine, and be forced to send her child away, with such a shrew in the house, where is there any fairness.

  "Government official? Great, just what I wanted! Just in time to send these two lawless and evil people who collude with bandits to be severely punished." Before Mu Rong Jing could speak, Qin Dai Xin had already spoken her harsh words. She wanted to see how this woman would distort the truth and turn black into white.

  Qin Congwen felt strange seeing her like this, his daughter seemed to have changed into a different person, and he couldn't see through her anymore. When did this child learn to manipulate people like this? However, thinking about it again, this matter was indeed not someone else's fault. His sister spoiled her nephew, doing such an evil thing, was really reckless. Although he was very angry, he still didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, the Gong family was also their own people, and they couldn't let outsiders laugh at them.

  "A Li, I have my own plans for this matter. You go rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." He took on the air of a family head, his tone revealing a rare hint of comfort.

  Haha!

  "Father, what do you mean by this? When I was overturned and frightened at the Pu Fa Temple, between life and death, you didn't ask or investigate, saying there were no clues to be found; now that I've been plotted against by my own family, my reputation is completely ruined, and I almost lost my life, you not only don't take my side, but instead favor them like this. It's truly heart-chilling for a daughter." Qin Dai said each word of her two narrow escapes, although these events sounded extremely perilous, her face was calm and unruffled, without any visible emotion, as if she were telling someone else's story.

  "Stop being ridiculous." Qin Zongwen was somewhat displeased. As the head of the household, he naturally hoped to downplay major issues and gloss over minor ones. But his daughter's words were clearly accusatory, questioning his ability to handle things.

  "What nonsense? As a senior, you clearly know that the younger generation has made mistakes, but instead of stopping them, you condone and tolerate it. Is your grandmother being unreasonable or not? You, as the head of the family, clearly know that your daughter has been wronged, yet you don't uphold justice. Are you being unreasonable or not? Your aunt was originally a government official's wife, but she broke the law and allowed her son to collude with bandits. Is she being unreasonable or not? If we want to seek justice, then naturally no one can be let off."

  "You..." Madam Fang could no longer bear to listen, these facts one by one that were undeniable, made her face red with rage and utterly humiliated, there had never been a junior who dared speak to her like this.

  "How's that? Do you want me to go on?"

  "Mr. Fang was furious, pointing at Qin Dai and scolding: 'You ungrateful thing, you hooked up with some wild man and disappeared for three days, and now you have the nerve to splash all this dirty water on your elders' faces? Now that you're back, you should reflect on your mistakes, but instead you're still stirring up trouble here. I'd be justified in beating you to death, you good-for-nothing.'"

  Qin Dai's face was filled with disdain, and she asked: "Does Father also agree with this statement? This young master kindly saved his daughter and helped find the real culprit. Are you willing to let Grandmother turn right and wrong upside down?"

  Pick up? This word is quite accurate.

  Qin Congwen frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Fang's words. But thinking again, his sister was the most favored, and if he really wanted to do something to her, his mother would be the first to disagree. Jin'er had been a bit too reckless this time, but after all, her husband was an official. Even if Qin Congwen had intended to punish him, as long as her husband spoke up, the matter could be settled. By doing so, he had avenged his daughter's grievances, but offended a large group of people, which wasn't very worthwhile.

  Qin Dai's heart sank as soon as she saw him silent, and she said to Murong Jing: "I've made a fool of you."

  Murong Jing saw that she was neither angry nor anxious, looking at her calm and peaceful appearance, he knew that she had completely lost hope for this family, and asked: "What do you want to do?"

  Qin Dai's heart was cold as she sneered and asked: "Really? I'd like to know too! According to grandma's words, what do you plan to do?"

  Mr. Fang saw that her attitude had softened a lot, and he was secretly delighted. He said, "Considering you're young and ignorant, I won't hold it against you. Go back and reflect on your actions, and stay in the courtyard to think things over! As for this person, I won't pursue his offense of trespassing on private property. Your aunt and cousin's place, I'll take care of myself."

  Qin Congwen also thought this was a good idea and said, "Don't be too carried away with your childish nonsense, go back and think it over carefully!"

  Qin Dai Xin finally knew what "like mother like son" meant, Fang Shi and Qin Zongwen were such a pair; Qin Fengge and Gong Sunjin were even more so!

  She thought of this, and she snatched the short knife from Murong Jing's hand, came to Gong Sunjin's side and said: "Grandma and father said so, I'm relieved, it was just a child's nonsense, what's the big deal?" After finishing, he cut open the rope on Gong Sunjin's leg with one knife, and aimed at his Achilles tendon, ready to stab.

  "What do you want to do?" Mr. Fang shouted hastily, seeing it clearly.

  "What's the big deal about kids being mischievous? Brother is so old, and framing someone is just a joke, can't we just laugh it off? I'm not even married yet, even if I did pull his tendons, it shouldn't be a crime, right? Grandma, you have to treat us equally!" After saying that, she raised her knife to stab.

  "Slow down." Fang realized that the little girl in front of her was no longer someone she could control. When did she become so tough and unfamiliar?

  "This is something we didn't consider carefully, your aunt was wrong, and your cousin was even more wrong. I will punish them, but after all, we are a family, can't we discuss things? Your cousin only did this because he likes you too much, and for a moment, he lost his sense of judgment and made a mistake. Forgive him! I guarantee that such a thing will never happen again." Madam Fang was so tense that she was afraid she would accidentally hurt her own grandson.

  Qin Dai Xin exclaimed to Qin Cong Wen: "Father, did you see that?! Grandma is more heartbroken for her grandson than for her granddaughter!"

  Qin Chongwen's face was a bit unsightly, but he didn't want to make things more awkward at this time either.

  "Grandma, things have come to this point, I'm not afraid of being labeled as unfilial by others. Let me make it clear: I've been framed and plotted against multiple times, but the truth is that someone is afraid that if I marry into a good family, they'll be overshadowed. This time, I can let it go, but I have conditions."

  "You said." Now that things have come to this, Fang also calmed down. There's still a long way to go! As long as this matter is covered up, what can't be done?

  "Firstly, I hope you can comfort my wounded heart. I want the deed to Xiaofront Village, including the houses on the village, the forest land, the irrigated fields and the slaves' contracts of sale. I want everything."

  Murong Jing found it interesting and thought: She's really quite straightforward!

  Fang looked at Qin Zongwen and saw that he nodded slightly, then gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, I agree to it."

  Qin Daixin smiled and knew she was being a bit too open with her mouth, but for this amount of money, wasn't it worth more than the lives of her precious daughter and grandson? She just considered it as compensation for her mental loss.

  "Secondly, I forgot about this matter, and please let Grandma and Father forget it too! If other problems arise from this matter, I think I won't be so easy to talk to." She was afraid that the Su family would be implicated because of this.

  Qin Congwen said: "There's no need for you to say this, both I and your grandmother hope that our family members will be good."

  Qin Dai Xin knew that even if they agreed now, there was still a possibility of regret later. However, she didn't care and wasn't afraid; she just hoped that when the time came, they wouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

  "Thirdly, I asked my grandmother to help me pass a message to my aunt."

  Mr. Fang was shocked and asked: "What did you say?"

  "She's already married and should behave like a daughter-in-law of the Gong family, not constantly running back to her parents' home and messing up other people's lives."

  Qin Dai Xin knew that although the people of Qin's family were not satisfied with Qin Feng Ge's domineering and arrogant behavior, they didn't dare to say anything due to the face and dignity of Fang Shi. Since that was the case, let her be the first one to take the risk!

  "It's just the three mu of land that belongs to the Gong Sun family, for the Qin family, it's nothing but a drop in the ocean. If she reaches out too far, others will laugh at her lack of virtue as a woman. Later on, they might even say that Grandmother taught her daughter poorly."

  Qin Dai stared into Fang Shi's eyes and said word by word.

  These words were like a heavy hammer, heavily smashing into Fang's heart, making her almost vomit blood. However, for now, it wasn't the time to flare up. She couldn't answer, nor could she not answer, and only felt that her internal organs were burning up. Helplessly, she had no choice but to fall silent.

  "Grandma didn't say anything, so I'll take it that you've agreed." After saying that, she got up and went to Tong Si's side.

  "What do you want to do?" Fang and Qin Zongwen were both puzzled.

  Qin Dai Xin smiled and said, "Although this matter has passed, someone still needs to take responsibility for it, right?"

  P.S: Sorry, it's late today.
