Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Senior Sister Becomes Wife

Xiao Dizi sadly watched the carriage of the little devil leave the alleyway and complained to Old Mr. Ji, "Master, just look at that girl! She’s heartless. After all the kindness I’ve shown her, how could she suspect me? You should know the kind of person I am, Master. Don’t listen to Little Nuan’s nonsense. Next time she comes by, I’m not even going to open the door for her, hmph!"

Old Mr. Ji’s heart was already heavy with clouds, but Song Yunuan’s interruption made him feel somewhat relieved.

He knew that Song Yunuan did it on purpose.

She purposely wanted to prevent him from being thrown off balance.

It was Wei Qingmei who had harmed his daughter.

Every time he thought of it, his heart ached so much that it felt like he couldn’t breathe.

He couldn’t imagine what it must’ve been like for his seventeen-year-old daughter, who was about the same age as Little Nuan. She had been thrown off a cliff, suffered a head injury, and forgot who she was and where she came from. He wondered if she spent her days in tears, filled with fear and anxiety.

Had his daughter ever suffered like this before?

Damn that Wei Qingmei!

The old master masked the ferocity in his eyes and said coldly to the hopping mad Xiao Dizi, "Then tell me, how did Xinyi disappear?"

Xiao Dizi closed the door properly.

Standing in the courtyard, he put away his aggrieved expression and after some thought, he spoke seriously, "Although I have no evidence, I’ve learned a special method of elimination from Little Nuan.

You should know, Master, how the few of us treated our senior sister back in the day; the senior brothers treated her as their own little sister.

But Wei Qingmei’s relationship with senior sister was just average, and the two of them even had a quarrel."

At this point, Xiao Dizi looked up at his master’s gloomy face and continued, albeit reluctantly, "Master, we all know about Wei Qingmei’s feelings for you. Then, did senior sister know? If she found out, would she have gone to Wei Qingmei? After all, she was trying to protect her own mother, so in a fit of anger, might Wei Qingmei have provoked senior sister or done something?

After all, senior sister disappeared. If you, Master, didn’t make a big deal out of it, and with madam’s frail health... wouldn’t Wei Qingmei then become the only woman by your side? Without any barriers, she really could move from senior sister to madam... Ouch, Master, why are you hitting me, ah ah ah... Little Nuan, come save me!"

At first, he was making a lot of sense, but as he went on, his words became more and more outrageous.

Old Mr. Ji picked up a stick and began to beat Xiao Dizi, who cried out in lament, clutching his head and scurrying around the courtyard.

That’s when he remembered Little Nuan.

Old Mr. Ji’s raised hand clenched tightly, his eyes filled with regret and pain.

It was all his fault; he was the one who had brought trouble upon his daughter.

Old Mr. Ji stared at Xiao Dizi and said word by word, "Now that you know, keep your mouth shut!"

The Xiao Dizi who had been scurrying around the courtyard froze, gazing into his master’s eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded seriously.

Could it be that his senior sister’s disappearance was really related to Wei Qingmei?

At this thought, Xiao Dizi’s heart sank.

Meanwhile, in Beidu at the Xia family’s home.

Apart from Shangguan Yunqi, who had been taken away for questioning, everyone else was there.

This included the silent Shangguan Wan.

She had received a phone call saying that Second Young Master Zhong had gone mad again and was insisting on her marriage. Her father couldn’t withstand the pressure and didn’t want her to return, but he also didn’t want her to listen to Xia Bowen’s words.

If worse came to worst, she could fake an illness.

But how was she to feign an illness?

With the Xia family in such a state, even her aunt had been taken away. People from her aunt’s family no longer treated her as they did before.

Even Xia Liying, who had just returned, vented her frustration in a roundabout way.

And it was all aimed at her.

What could she do?

Frowning, she sat in a corner. The only way her uncle said she could avoid marrying into the Zhong family was to register her residence at his home; otherwise, there weren’t many good options.

Then he could arrange a job for her on this side.

She didn’t want that at all.

Is there really no better solution?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room was oppressively suffocating.

Xia Bowen looked at his children.

Three sons and one daughter.

The eldest and second sons were both married.

Xia Ming had two children, Xia Sheng had one, and all three were being looked after by Xia Youyou upstairs.

And the two daughters-in-law were also downstairs.

Such a big issue, they had to come even if they didn’t want to.

Xia Ming’s wife was Pang Xiaomin, Xia Sheng’s was Lew Huiqin.

These two usually did not get along with Shangguan Yunqi, but since they didn’t live together, they had maintained superficial relations.

In the beginning, they didn’t know, but now they knew everything.

They had a very poor opinion of their mother-in-law.

But no matter what, she was their husband’s mother, someone they had to face every day, and they couldn’t show their disrespect to her in front of their husbands.

What they truly thought at the bottom of their hearts, only they knew.

In such a situation, they didn’t want to participate, but they could not abstain.

Pang Min, as the eldest sister-in-law, still said, "Can’t we just apply for medical parole?"

Xia Ming gave his wife a grateful look, while Pang Min secretly curled her lips, thinking that her own mother simply looked down upon Shangguan Yunqi, labeling her as the typical kind of person who eats her food and then curses her provider.

No matter how well they lived, she was never satisfied.

Calling her no good.

Just pretentious and ridiculous.

Only Xia Bowen held her in high esteem.

One could say Xia Bowen deserved it, he was a major source of resentment. After the incident, her maternal mother was so angry she hopped around, saying Xia Bowen was no better, painting them all with the same brush. She warned her to keep an eye on Xia Ming, telling him not to do anything foolish at this critical juncture.

Who knows how many eyes were watching them.

Before Xia Bowen could speak, Xia Liying said with a gloomy face, "Knowing it’s impossible, why even mention it?"

Pang Xiaomin: ...

She couldn’t be bothered to justify herself to her youngest aunt.

She simply turned her head away.

Xia Sheng asked, "Dad, what should we do now?"

Xia Bowen: "We wait for the result." He then darkened his expression, "I summoned you all today not to look for solutions, but to warn you. Your mom has already violated the law, she did something wrong, and now that the victims have shown leniency, not pursuing the case to the end, you should feel lucky."

He then sneered, "Don’t all of you give me that look, from the beginning to the end, Xia Xindong has nothing to do with you, nor with me; he was an innocent commoner. In the past, you didn’t take Xia Xindong seriously, treating them as if they were dead. Now, you want to reduce this to a domestic issue, who gave you such audacity?"

Xia Ming’s face turned red instantly.

He knew his father was warning him.

Because he had said such things to his father.

If it could be classified as a domestic issue, the damage from this incident could be minimized.

But clearly, Xia Bowen didn’t agree.

Xia Bowen didn’t want to hear them talk, he just wanted to warn them not to do anything foolish.

"Especially Xia Zhi and Xia Liying, the two of you came back with your tails between your legs this time, you should realize who Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan are by now. Don’t overreach yourselves, and don’t even think about other foolish ideas. Those who should work, go to work, those who should study, go to study. You know nothing about these matters, even if you were to investigate, it’s none of your concern."

"As for thoughts of revenge, eradicate them even more, otherwise not even gods can save you."
