Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 164: Pulling Off Qin’s Father’s Fig Leaf

Standing on the side, Qin Mingcheng felt everyone’s gaze turned toward him. He was infuriated and struck Su Xinyue, who was standing beside him, with a slap.

Su Xinyue screamed in despair, falling to the ground, covering her face, and pleading, "I didn’t! I really didn’t say such things."

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

This Qin Mingcheng was really a dimwit. In the story, he was ruined by Su Xinyue and lost all his money. Now, just a few words from her had triggered him to have himself exposed. If he didn’t slap her, others might have suspected that Qin Kaize told her.

This confirmed that he said such words to Su Xinyue. But Su Xinyue never mentioned this to her or the original host. It seemed Su Xinyue was now realizing just how foolish Qin Mingcheng was. Or rather, how foolish the three people of the Qin family were. If she married into this family, she would surely be doomed by Su Yijia.

Her parents had no way out, next was the Qin family, or her! No, she couldn’t marry into the Qin family! Absolutely not!

Su Xinyue, with a frightened look on her face, scrambled up from the ground and attempted to squeeze through the crowd to escape. But how could Su Yijia let her go so easily?

"You’re going to register for the marriage certificate with Qin Mingcheng tomorrow, and then the wedding is to follow. Where do you think you can run now?"

Her voice sounded ominous, like a death knell.

Su Xinyue felt a chill down her spine and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Please, sister, spare me! I don’t want to marry Qin Mingcheng. He’s already messed up, and if I marry him, my life will be ruined," pleaded Su Xinyue.

She attempted to use moral pressure on Su Yijia. In front of so many people, she couldn’t force her to marry Qin Mingcheng.

Without any need for Su Yijia to respond, Qin Mingcheng grabbed her from the ground.

"If you don’t marry me, who else do you plan to marry? You are mine. I’ve seen and touched you everywhere. You might even have my child in your belly. Where do you intend to take a child from our Qin family? If it wasn’t for you insisted on coming to me on my wedding with your sister, how could I be ruined?" Qin Mingcheng said, glaring furiously at Su Xinyue.

Su Xinyue struggled and claimed, "You tricked me with sweet words to be with you."

Despite their heated argument, they both remembered to avoid mentioning the past plot against Su Yijia and Qin Kaize.

In the midst of their dispute, Su Yijia, with a sardonic tone, suggested, "You both did this willingly. You might already be carrying Qin Mingcheng’s child. He’s already messed up, so maybe this child is all that will be there in this lifetime. Even if you don’t want to spend your life with him, you need to ensure a future for the Qin family. If it weren’t for your interference, the Qin family wouldn’t have come to this. So, marry, have the child, and then you may get a divorce if you like it."

Qin’s mother, upon hearing this, immediately seized Su Xinyue’s hand, saying, "Yes, you must keep my grandchild. You enticed my son. You must take responsibility for our family."

Other people nearby also chimed in, encouraging her, "That’s right, young lady, just marry Mingcheng. You’re a match. You can’t just reject him because he’s facing some health issues."

"Yeah, young lady, you’re carrying his child in your belly. You’re going to be a mother and can’t be so stubborn. The Qin family is good to you. As long as you live a good life, the whole family will support you." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Traditionally in China, it’s common to advise reconciliation rather than separation, especially given the situation at hand. Despite finding Qin Mingcheng and Su Xinyue’s behavior distasteful, people didn’t intend to push them into a corner.

Su Xinyue felt resentment welling up and glanced through the crowd at Su Yijia. She felt like an ant, entirely at Su Yijia’s mercy. She wanted to go find that person...

That person had said that nobody should make her unhappy, and he would ensure revenge on her behalf.

While Su Xinyue was contemplating this, Su Yijia interrupted, "Su Xinyue, for the sake of our shared upbringing, I advise you to go ahead and marry him obediently. You’re going to the civil affairs bureau tomorrow to get your marriage certificate, and it’s consensual. If I don’t see that certificate, you’ll be charged with hooliganism. Even if it’s consensual, you could get sentenced to three, five, seven, or eight years. There won’t be a problem."

Su Xinyue’s body stiffened, and she suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, giving up the struggle entirely.

Su Yijia then shifted her gaze back to Qin’s father. "Look, they’ve stopped defending themselves. What else do you have to say? It seems in this day and age, if you get a stepmother, you also get a stepfather. After all, my husband is your own son. Are you so resentful of him that you want to seize the inheritance left by my mother-in-law?"

"I didn’t! I wanted to leave this house to Kaize! When I’m gone, this house will only go to Kaize," Qin’s father rebuked, feeling both ashamed and angry.

He struggled to salvage some dignity for himself, or else, his head would never be held high among friends and neighbors.

"Really? That’s great!" Su Yijia’s eyes immediately brightened.

Qin’s father immediately realized he might have misspoken.

However, Su Yijia didn’t give him a chance to regret. She directly took out a pen and paper from the satchel carried by Gao Huabin.

She refilled the pen with ink the night before, specifically for this moment.

"Words alone don’t carry weight; written evidence is better, lest some shameless individuals intend to grab even other people’s inheritance," Su Yijia remarked, while walking towards Qin’s father with the pen and paper.

Qin’s father, terrified, desperately recoiled backward, as if wishing he could cry out to stop her.

Yet, behind him, there was only the chair and the wall, with nowhere to retreat."

"Write it quickly," Su Yijia slammed the items onto the desk, urging impatiently.

Qin’s father gritted his teeth, struggled for a moment, and ultimately pick up the pen in humiliation.

" Qin!" Qin’s mother shouted anxiously from the side.

But Qin’s father fiercely glared at her, "Shut up! This is the house left by Kaize’s mother, and it has nothing to do with you! I didn’t expect you, a woman, to be so malicious, instilling such thoughts in Mingcheng behind my back."

His move was quite cunning. He instantly absolved himself of responsibility and somewhat cleared Qin Mingcheng’s name. The only downside was that he had to sign the will.

Even if he signed it, it wasn’t easy for all the people at the wedding to believe him.

He quickly completed the will and pressed a fingerprint with Su Yijia’s lipstick. Qin’s father handed it over to Su Yijia. Looking at her satisfied smile, he smugly snorted in his mind.
