Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 185: A Good Husband Tolerated His Wife’s Outbursts

She had held it in all night, waiting for the confirmation of the Qin family’s affairs. It was getting critical.

"What’s wrong? Is everything okay, Yijia?" Xia Weiguo was startled by Su Yijia’s anxious expression.

"Well, when I went to the department store in the afternoon to buy autumn clothes, the man who caused trouble for our family twenty years ago saw me. He’s now the head of the Discipline Inspection Office and has quite a few subordinates," Su Yijia explained the situation in detail.

As they heard that the man still had Yijia’s mother’s picture and demanded to find Su Yijia within three days, both Qin Kaize and Xia Weiguo’s expressions darkened.

Even though Xia Weiguo held a high position, dealing with the Discipline Inspection Office wasn’t a walk in the park. If there wasn’t a significant reason, they usually avoided confrontation with these people. Even if criticized, they would often endure to avoid being labeled with baseless accusations. Those who were fortunate enough to escape such situations usually faced severe consequences. Moreover, despite Xia Weiguo’s department being close to Hu City, sometimes the local power could overshadow even the strongest dragons.

Quickly calculating in his mind who could be useful, Xia Weiguo spoke gently, "Yijia, don’t worry. I’ll have someone look into his activities for the past twenty years, see if there’s anything incriminating. Someone like him, who doesn’t play by the rules, won’t withstand thorough scrutiny. When we have evidence, we’ll send him directly in. As for your plan to take Kaize to Yun Province, I’ve inquired about a few villages that used to research those things. I’ll arrange for tickets; after lunch tomorrow, we’ll leave together."

"Okay, then I’ll get up early tomorrow and get everything ready with my grandparents," Su Yijia obediently nodded, seemingly entrusting everything to Xia Weiguo.

However, inwardly, she had begun to contemplate whether there was any other way to deal with this Yin Linjiang. Uncle Xia’s words just now had hinted at a strategy to avoid direct confrontation. That made sense given that her grandparents had just returned, they wouldn’t be able to endure Yin Linjiang’s unnecessary trouble.

"Let’s sleep early. Both of you should rest quickly. It’s been a late night, you must be exhausted," Xia Weiguo glanced worryingly at Qin Kaize, but seeing no signs of fatigue, he felt slightly relieved.

Once everyone had left, Su Yijia settled Qin Kaize onto the bed, giving him a brief massage. Eventually, they hurriedly took a shower, then collapsed on the bed like lifeless fish.

Resting her legs on Qin Kaize’s thighs, she pondered solutions while absentmindedly rubbing against him. The man’s long, dense leg hair was a bit ticklish yet oddly comforting, as if scratching an itch. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Qin Kaize lay with his eyes open, quietly awaiting whatever the young lady beside him might say. Although he couldn’t move, their nightly communication was essential. Sometimes, when Su Yijia spoke less and ended the interaction quickly, he felt a sense of disappointment.

However, the fluctuating sound of the young lady’s breathing, at times light and then heavy, added weight to his emotions.

"What if we hide outside for a while?" Su Yijia adeptly turned, lying on top of Qin Kaize, propping herself up on her elbow as she gazed at him intently.

"Are you worried about Yin Linjiang? In reality, what Uncle Xia said is true. With his temperament and the position he holds, it’s unlikely he can withstand a proper investigation. Once we find any evidence, we can send him in," Qin Kaize reassured with deep, gentle eyes.

That man might be a bit tricky, but he’s far from invincible. In fact, he’s full of vulnerabilities. A gentle poke in the right spot and he’d crack.

"I know he’s definitely problematic, but until we send him in, we’re Uncle Xia’s weak spot. He could easily frame us. We can’t be a burden to Uncle Xia. Moreover, your treatment process can’t be interrupted, or we’ll be in a dire situation. If we return to Hu City at that time and he finds an excuse to lock us up for ten days or two weeks, I might end up a widow, right? So, it’s better to spend some time outside, perhaps travel, or even find my hidden father. By the time we’re back from this trip, he should have been thoroughly investigated. He might even have been detained already," Su Yijia laid out all the facts, analyzing them piece by piece.

Although it might seem like she’s deliberately avoiding Yin Linjiang, it’s more about being cautious. She couldn’t risk Qin Kaize’s life in any way. If she were alone, there wouldn’t be a need to be so fearful.

However, these matters of pride and face, apart from the two of them and Uncle Xia, who knew.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead. When we come back, he’ll definitely be behind bars," Qin Kaize promised earnestly.

"Of course, even if he doesn’t end up in prison, he’ll be bedridden," Su Yijia narrowed her eyes, grinding her teeth inwardly.

"What?" Qin Kaize’s eyes reflected a hint of confusion.

The young woman on top of him sat up, her eyes filled with righteous anger. A dark gleam flashed in her black eyes, cold and sinister.

"I’ll lurk outside his house tomorrow morning, ambush him, and beat him up. If I beat him to death, that will be his atonement for what he did to my mother, and if I can’t kill him, I’ll make sure he’s left with broken arms and legs, bedridden for several months," Su Yijia grinded her teeth, humming.

"Nonsense!" Qin Kaize’s gaze instantly turned severe.

Just as Su Yijia was about to retort, he continued, "Go wake up Gao Huabin and instruct him to swiftly find Zhu Zirui. Even if you have the strength, you haven’t learned hiding or tracking. Let them handle this."

Initially, she thought Qin Kaize was trying to stop her, but he surprisingly indulged her, supporting her in her recklessness. Su Yijia’s eyes lit up with delight, curving into two crescent moons.

"You’re such a great husband!"

She pecked Qin Kaize’s lips heavily and dashed out like an ecstatic little creature.

As he watched her vanish from sight, Qin Kaize’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

This should have been a matter he, as the husband and son-in-law, should handle himself. But obviously, they couldn’t delay it any longer.

A man who firmly entrenched himself in the Discipline Inspection Office for over twenty years was not someone to be taken easily. There was a genuine fear of being bitten back, which made it crucial to remove him from his post. Having ascended to the position of director, surely there were people below him eager to climb up. When internal forces couldn’t be mobilized and when insiders were providing information, that Yin Linjiang became a fish ready for anyone to exploit.

This was a completely different scenario; it was impossible for different people to lay in the same bed.

Su Yijia’s plan to severely beat Yin Linjiang was similarly calculated. Moreover, she knew that the saying in the next month, stigma for people’s family background would soon be obsolete. Hu City was always a breeding ground for talented individuals. As people left, they naturally returned. During these twenty years, just how many dirty deeds had Yin Linjiang done? Were there really no individuals among them with ulterior motives? Discovering him bedridden at home, incapable of doing anything, he’d be like a helpless target, vulnerable to predators eager to devour him like a starving wolf.
