Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 177: Was the Truth Really Like This?!

"With me keeping an eye on her, she won’t dare! Otherwise, I’ll kill her," Qin Mingcheng’s eyes flashed with determination.

Su Yijia squinted slightly, ultimately shook her head in refusal. "No need. If you want to host the banquet, go ahead. If not, don’t. What I needed was your marriage. In this situation, I doubt anyone would be willing to attend your wedding banquet."

Qin Mingcheng stiffened but surprisingly didn’t erupt in anger; instead, he repeatedly nodded in agreement. Feeling repulsed by his servile demeanor, Su Yijia almost fled, taking Qin Kaize back to the car.

To prevent any mischief from Su Xinyue and Qin Mingcheng, they traveled together in the same car. However, with the marriage certificate issued, Su Yijia wasn’t concerned anymore and left the two of them at the entrance of the marriage registration office.

As the car drove a few dozen meters away, Su Yijia glanced back. She saw Qin Mingcheng slap Su Xinyue to the ground and then drag her home by the hair.

"Is Qin Mingcheng up to some scheme again?" Gao Huabin, considering Qin Mingcheng’s earlier demeanor, felt something was off.

"He’s been too traumatized, brain gone bad," Su Yijia thought for a moment, offering an uncertain response. Finally, she added, "It could also be an act, pretending to be crazy, who knows what schemes he’s planning."

However, considering how Qin Mingcheng, who had previously presented an appearance of gentility, had beaten Su Xinyue into such a state overnight, even in hidden places, Su Yijia concluded that even if Qin Mingcheng had a mental breakdown, he was not entirely insane. The current him seemed like a psychologically twisted and dark-minded mad dog, ready to bite at any time. Su Xinyue was left just right for him.

When they drove back home, there was a small car parked at the entrance. The presence of another car now indicated there were two of them. The neighbors, who had seen them getting married yesterday, observed eight cars in motion and merely assumed that their family had some social connections. However, today, after finishing the wedding feast, they noticed they still had two cars being for daily use, and that excited the neighbors.

"Su, you went to get your marriage certificate early today, didn’t you? I live at the end of the lane, you can come to me if you need anything," one neighbor said.

"I live right next to you. If you need help when you’re out and there’s no one at home, you can call me. I don’t usually work, so I have plenty of free time," another neighbor offered help.

Several older women gathered around, chatting and showing their neighborly warmth.

"Thank you, Aunties! We might trouble you in the future, please take care of us," Su Yijia replied politely, sharing a few White Rabbit creamy candies with the ladies from her shoulder bag.

In fact, she had plenty of candies in her bag, and even more in the space, just in case. However, this morning, the neighbors from Qin’s family came up to her complaining about Qin Mingcheng’s actions. At that moment, giving out the candies made her feel like she was apologizing for that vile creature. So she opted to skip the issue altogether.

"Look how polite you are."

The ladies gladly accepted the White Rabbit candies, which cost seven or eight yuan per pound. Usually, for special occasions like New Year or weddings, they’d only buy fruit candies that cost less than two yuan per pound.

Once Su Yijia squeezed out of the crowd of women and entered her house, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You’re back? Did Qin Mingcheng and Su Xinyue successfully get their marriage certificate?" Xia Weiguo put down his bowl of noodles, looking at them with concern.

"Yes, it’s all sorted out. They caused such a commotion yesterday, so they didn’t hold the wedding feast," Su Yijia replied. She had intended to let everyone know about their relationship.

All those who needed to know were informed due to yesterday’s events. There was no need to keep monitoring them, as they seemed to create their problems.

As for the case involved Qin’s father and mother...

Su Yijia glanced at Xia Weiguo discreetly, but his expression was calm, showing nothing extraordinary. This only fueled her curiosity further.

Ke Zeming noticed her gaze and explained the situation at the police station.

"The two men from the Qin family took something that was specifically meant for the livestock at the ranch. Kaize’s second uncle bought it secretly. They’ve already confessed; it was Qin Zongyao’s idea. If they had drunk it, it wouldn’t have been a case of attempting to harm you; it would have been that you were horny and intentionally lured them. Weishufen said that you knocked her unconscious in the kitchen and threw her into the room. The two men also mentioned that they followed you into the room, but they don’t know what happened after that."

Ke Zeming instinctively glanced at Su Yijia, seemingly trying to determine whether she actually did that. But he swiftly withdrew his gaze when Su Yijia’s eyes met his.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "But these are just their statements and have no evidence. Right now, we can only confirm that it was Qin Zongyao and Wei Shufen, along with Kaize’s uncle, who intended to harm you. But since you didn’t give them the opportunity to do so, and the effects of the drugs left them helpless, the two people who lost their minds only went after Wei Shufen. Due to the severity of hooliganism, the execution of these three is unavoidable. Qin Zongyao, as the main perpetrator, could face a sentence up to twenty years, and Kaize’s uncle and aunt, five to ten years. The city’s leaders have indicated strict and severe judgment, so they will surely be sentenced harshly.’

It was indeed a severe sentence. No wonder everyone was afraid of being arrested. If accidentally they did something wrong, half a lifetime would be gone. Su Yijia felt sentimental, but she remained curious about certain things.

"Is my mother-in-law’s death unrelated to Qin Zongyao?"

"Qin Zongyao denies it, and Wei Shufen says he didn’t do anything. I’ve asked everyone who was present back then, and they all said that Qin Zongyao treated Ze’s mother very well. The Xia family left behind the house. Ze’s mother couldn’t work due to identity issues, so Qin Zongyao was the only laborer. But since Ze’s mother’s health deteriorated, he bought fruit every day, or eggs, or a few ounces of meat to help Ze’s mother’s health."

Xia Weiguo’s tone was quite strange, mingling nonchalance with an indescribable feeling. However, it was mostly a sigh of relief.

After all, no one would want Kaize’s biological father to be responsible for the death of his biological mother. Neither would anyone want Kaize’s mother to live in misery during her final days.

Su Yijia suddenly felt conflicted; should she continue to delve deeper into this matter? After all, with Qin Zongyao facing a thirty-year sentence, there was barely any possibility for him to come out alive given his age."
