"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 147 He Knows Everything

"Cousin, cousin, how could that be? Rou'er is so young, she's never even been exposed to those things, how could she possibly poison Aunt Xu?"

In Qingqiu Courtyard, Aunt Xu knelt at Qin Rusong's feet: "Besides, what good would it do for Aunt Xu to be poisoned? Cousin..."

Look at the beautiful woman's tearful pleading; how pitiful she is!

Besides, she was his beloved cousin, who was willing to become his concubine in order to marry him, and now she was pregnant again.

Qin Rusong knew he should believe her, but...

He closed his eyes, hardening his heart to avoid looking at the woman's tearful eyes, his voice carrying an inexplicable chill: "But what about you, Qiu'er?"

Aunt Qiu was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Qin Rusong pulled his clothes free from the grip, then opened his eyes, his gaze sharper and clearer: "You said Rou'er doesn't have that kind of medicine, but what about you? Don't you have it either?"

Aunt Qiu was so shocked that she forgot to continue crying, staring blankly at the man in front of her: "Cousin, what are you saying? How... how could this be..."

"Do you think I really don't know what happened with Su-ying's child back then?"

The man's cold, deep voice exploded in Aunt Qiu's mind like a muffled thunderclap.

She shuddered, as if startled, and released her grip on the man's clothes, her face deathly pale: "Cousin...cousin..."

Qin Rusong bent down, his calloused hands stroking the woman's still delicate face, which was over thirty. His face, hidden in shadow, exuded an inexplicable intimidation.

"Qiu'er, I'll ask you one more time, did you poison the side courtyard?"
-
"This story tells us that rich girls should not marry men from humble backgrounds who have achieved success, especially men who have a 'white moonlight' (idealized love)."

Qin Su originally only asked the system to monitor how her scumbag father would handle this matter, but she didn't expect to get such a big juicy story.

The system remained silent for a while, and Qin Su assumed it didn't want to answer.

The next moment, the system's voice rang out: [Host, I have some juicy gossip to share, want some?]

Qin Su raised an eyebrow slightly: "Eat."

The system stopped speaking, but silently played another dialogue:
"Anyone in this world can hate the Xu family mother and daughter, but you and Rou'er cannot."

Oh, it's that scumbag dad.

Then came the woman's voice, no longer concealing her resentment and agitation: "Why can't I? Why can't I? You clearly promised me back then that besides Zhang, there would only be me! But you still took Xu Meiniang as your concubine, that lowly silkworm farmer dared to climb up to her..."

"Because she was originally someone I found to be a substitute for you and your son in the Zhang family's misfortune!"

The man emphasized the last two words with a harsh tone: "You caused Zhang to miscarry and Qionghua to almost die. If no one takes your place to distract her, do you think she will let you off the hook?"
"Qiu'er, she's the daughter of the Zhang family of Qinghe!"

With a "clatter," the cup in Qin Su's hand slipped and rolled onto the table.

what is this?
A scumbag and his mistress's confession of true love?

And in their love, who is a pawn that can be sacrificed?
Qin Su suddenly felt a tightness in her heart; this was the lingering emotion from the original owner of the body.

She knew that this silly girl had always harbored affection and longing for this wicked man.

Even at this moment, she began to understand why Zhang was so mean and vicious.

It is said that before her marriage, Zhang was a renowned beauty from a prominent family in the area, with suitors as numerous as fish in a river.

She rejected numerous talented young men and noble scions of equal social standing, marrying her scumbag father instead. This was partly due to the court's support for those from humble backgrounds and the aristocratic families' skewed views towards arranged marriages, but also because of a single, unforgettable encounter years ago; she had chosen him from among the many suitors, and she loved him.

Qin Su couldn't help but think that if the person she liked dared to treat her like that, she would definitely...

System: [What will happen to the host?]

Qin Su smiled slightly: "Kill him."

And the methods are guaranteed to be perfect, leaving no trace, ensuring that the other party will never discover the truth until their death.

"From this perspective, Zhang truly loves him. Even after all this, she's only targeting the concubines who have little power to resist."

You have to understand that when she had her first child, Qin Rusong was not some high-ranking prime minister, but just a poor scholar who had passed the imperial examination. Couldn't he just kill her and go home to remarry?

He insisted on simultaneously threatening and killing his concubines while diligently managing household affairs and paving the way for his future.

Qin Su suddenly remembered a popular phrase online, "Why bother washing your face if you're cold?" Sigh...

Just as her thoughts were wandering aimlessly, the system suddenly spoke up: [The reason Zhang didn't target her scumbag father is because she didn't know he knew everything and still protected Aunt Qiu, right?]

Qin Su paused for a moment, realizing that was indeed the case.

"Miss, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Chunfeng's concerned voice came from outside. Qin Su composed herself and said, "I'm fine, I just accidentally knocked over the cup."

Never mind, I'll go to sleep first and we can talk about it tomorrow.

System: [Goodnight, host!]
-
Then, the next day, before Qin Su could even ask her scumbag father for answers, Qin Wanrou, the "real culprit" who had come the day before, arrived first.

"Miss, Qin Wanrou has arrived. She's kneeling in the courtyard, begging for your forgiveness. She really doesn't know what happened."

Qin Su noticed that after last night, Chunfeng was no longer pretending. Now, she made no attempt to hide her disgust for the Qin family in front of her, and even spoke of her scumbag father with disdain.

Just then, Aunt Xu, who was on the bed, woke up at the sound. Before she even opened her eyes, she was calling out, "Water, water..."

Qin Su snapped out of her daze and exclaimed with delight, "Mom, you're awake! I was so scared last night, waaaaah..."

Aunt Xu was still feeling unwell, dizzy and in pain all over. Her voice was very hoarse as she asked, "Am I... still alive?"

Looking at her wrapped in the blanket, her face sunken, her appearance haggard and exhausted, she looked more than ten years older.
Qin Su took the handkerchief Chunfeng offered and wiped away her tears, then spoke with superb acting skills: "Of course you're alive! What would I do if you weren't here? You're going to live to be a hundred years old, waaaaah..."

Seeing Miss Sangsang crying so pitifully, Chunfeng's disgust for outsiders reached its peak.

Aunt Xu was about to ask what was wrong when Qin Su interrupted her with, "Mother, Father has agreed to let me take you away to stay for a while so you can recuperate. Are you happy?"

Although Aunt Xu was much slower to react, she was still struck by the key phrase: "Get out?"

Qin Su reached out and carefully tidied the strands of hair around her cheek: "Yes, the reason you were like that last night was because you were poisoned..."

"Poisoned?"

Aunt Xu grabbed Qin Su's hand in shock, her previously cloudy eyes widening in disbelief: "Who...who wants to harm me?"

Only Qin Su and the system knew that what was called poisoning was actually just a common allergic reaction, at most causing vomiting and diarrhea, and was not fatal.

But Aunt Xu didn't know that.
