Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 251: Don’t Blame Everything on His Wife

"She made a mistake, so she naturally has to pay the price. Should I go back and be unable to face my wife or have my wife suffer?" Qin Kaize retorted aggressively. He found Qiu Yirou’s remarks laughable.

If he had to consider every complaint and issue from others, he would be unable to focus on his own family. His wife was beautiful, and there would be more men interested in her in the future. Should he also consider how those men feel about being rejected and worry about their reputations?

"I’ll privately educate Futong on this matter. After you return, you should also appease your wife. There’s no need to be so ruthless about this. If your wife still isn’t willing to calm down, I can talk to her," Qiu Yirou said, growing frustrated with Qin Kaize’s unyielding attitude.

How could there be such a stingy girl in this world? So what if she were scolded a little by someone else?

"Ha! You want me to comfort my wife to absolve another woman? And the head of the team really has a lot of face. My wife was insulted and didn’t get the apology she deserved, but now she has to be forced to calm down by you? Otherwise, I’m petty and harsh?" Qin Kaize sneered in anger at Qiu Yirou’s stubbornness.

He was so enraged by her unyielding attitude that he didn’t want to listen to her anymore. He turned his wheelchair and headed out.

Seeing that he could still move his feet, Qiu Yirou was stunned for a moment. She suddenly worried that Qin Kaize might return to the team. If he did, wouldn’t his recent attitude mean that she had offended him deeply?

Desperate, Qiu Yirou chased after him without caring about her dignity. "Comrade Qin, don’t leave yet. We need to talk this over. There has to be a solution, right?" she said, forcing a smile.

Although many in the team were willing to treat their Art Ensemble favorably, if someone made a mistake, they would be punished accordingly. A bigger issue could even lead to a few months’ suspension of their provincial performance. Bad news travels fast, and the Art Ensemble could face severe ridicule.

"I have nothing to discuss with you," Qin Kaize said coldly.

"Comrade Qin, since you’re rarely on the island, you’ll stay for a while. Making a fuss will only embarrass your wife. Also, isn’t your health improving? You’ll likely return to the team, and with your position and relationship with your wife, she will have to live on the island. She’ll need to interact with the team’s aunties, or she’ll end up isolated," Qiu Yirou hurriedly advised as she kept up with him.

Qin Kaize suddenly stopped his wheelchair and looked at her with a cold, hard expression. "Are you threatening me?"

"I- I’m not!" Qiu Yirou’s heart raced, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"What you and Wang Futong did, I will report it. This matter will not be left unresolved. And let me remind you again, it was I who demanded an apology from Comrade Wang Futong publicly, not my wife’s request. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but without even seeing my wife, you’re throwing mud at her," Qin Kaize’s anger flared, making Qiu Yirou unable to lift her head.

Despite her fear, Qiu Yirou still didn’t believe Qin Kaize’s words. She didn’t believe that his wife had nothing to do with it and that he was causing trouble all by his own will. In this day and age, no man would make a fuss over such a trivial matter.

Only in places with many women would contradictions escalate. But when issues arose, it was usually the men who went home and appeased their wives, making big problems into small ones. The rare times when a man didn’t yield were due to particularly stubborn women.

The reason she had Qin Kaize go back and persuade his wife was, after all, for his wife’s own good. Many women, when they first come to accompany their husbands, tend to be quite strong-willed.

After all, having a husband in the team, whether in the village or the workers’ compound, is a matter of great pride. Being pampered at home, it’s no surprise their tempers are hard to deal with. But after a few clashes, after suffering some losses, those who stubbornly refuse to yield eventually find themselves ignored by everyone. That’s when their tempers soften.

Her attempt to smooth things over was partly to save face, but it was also for the benefit of Qin Kaize’s wife.

Seeing Qiu Yirou remain silent, Qin Kaize knew exactly what was going through her mind. For someone so obstinate, he had no patience left.

When he first came over to demand that she publicly apologize to Wang Futong, he had already shown her leniency. If he had reported it directly, a review and punishment would have been inevitable. In the worst-case scenario, she could have even lost her position in the performing troupe.

Sometimes, kindness is misplaced, especially when dealing with people who lack the sense to appreciate it.

With a turn of his wheelchair, Qin Kaize left. Qiu Yirou pressed her lips tightly together, watching his retreating figure, but in the end, she didn’t follow after him.

Qin Kaize went to the logistics officer to apply for the necessary supplies. The officer immediately dispatched two people to load everything onto a cart, including several large baskets of soil. On his way back, he ran into Xia Weiguo, who had just finished handling the situation.

The call mainly concerned the three individuals involved. Qin Kaize’s face darkened as he listened.

Returning to the courtyard, he pulled his smiling wife aside. "We’ve found out Miao Qingtian’s background."

"So soon?" Su Yijia was surprised by their efficiency.

"While reporting to the higher-ups, the investigation had already begun. She’s from Xiang City. Years ago, her grandmother and mother were caught for causing trouble by being shamans, which led to people’s misfortunes. They were imprisoned for a while. She was already in her teens then and learned a lot of superstitious nonsense. The interrogations of her grandmother and mother revealed that they knew some occult practices and could read the elements, but more importantly, they could manipulate people’s hearts. Most of the time, their deceit was successful. You don’t have to worry about what she said. As long as I’m here, you’ll be protected," Qin Kaize said, holding Su Yijia’s hand and gently stroking her delicate fingers.

"So, I was deceived?" Su Yijia’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, feeling like she wanted to bury herself. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

She had seen news reports of people being scammed out of millions and had once criticized how such foolish people could make money. Now, she was the one deceived by a con artist.

"But why did she say I’d need her in the future? Isn’t that too precise?" Su Yijia still found it hard to understand.

"Fool!" Qin Kaize flicked her nose. "If she used a special drug on you, with no defenses, you’d be incapacitated. Given your knowledge of pharmacology and quick reactions, falling into a coma would be beyond your control. This exaggeration increases our anxiety. Moreover, she sees you as a formidable person, and a coma situation seems unlikely, so her lie would be less likely to be exposed."

After Qin Kaize’s analysis, Su Yijia’s lips twitched uncontrollably. If Miao Qingtian understood human nature and psychology so well, she should have been a shaman instead.

"Then what would happen to her?" Su Yijia asked angrily.
