After a while, Qin Mingyue said, “When Situ Jin recovers, he will probably investigate how his mother was poisoned back then.”

At this point, she actually wanted Tang Li to read her fortune, but when she remembered that Tang Li had previously said that she would not read her fortune for the time being, she gave up.

Tang Li glanced at her. Seeing that she was silent, she took out her phone to play.

Unexpectedly, there were several messages from Su Ziqing.

Su Ziqing, “Cousin, a professor wants me to be his student. I’ll undertake a case with him in two days.”

Su Ziqing, “I’ve always admired this professor. I didn’t expect him to choose me.”

Su Ziqing, “Cousin, I’m so happy.”

Tang Li replied, “This is great. Why don’t we get together and celebrate it?”

Su Ziqing replied quickly, “Aren’t you very busy recently with the wedding? Do you have time to come out and have fun?”

Tang Li, “I do.”

Su Ziqing, “Alright, Cousin, come to Imperial University. I’ll call Wanwan and we’ll celebrate near the school.”

Tang Li thought for a moment and typed, “Why don’t I come over and treat you guys to supper tonight?”

Su Ziqing, “Okay.”

After that, Tang Li sent a message to Qi Yihan.

Qi Yihan replied, “Yeah, I’ll pick you up after supper.”

Tang Li, “Okay.”

“Miss Tang…”

At that moment, Qin Mingyue suddenly looked up and called Tang Li.

Tang Li looked up at her.

Qin Mingyue held a teacup in her hand and looked at the tea leaves floating on it. She said, “You should have heard that the Situ family used to be tomb robbers, right?”

Tang Li knew what she was going to say. “Yes.”

“Our Qin family was actually the same as the Situ family. In Situ Jin’s grandfather’s generation, our Qin family’s conditions were slightly better than the Situ family’s. Later on, because of a tomb, many people in my family died and my family started to decline since then.”

“Actually, at that time, my grandfather was about to die. It was Situ Jin’s grandfather who carried him out of the tomb. However, they made a deal. That is, the head of the Situ family must marry one of the girls from the Qin family. At that time, Situ Huang was already married…”

When Tang Li heard this, she was a little surprised. “Situ Jin’s health is not good. He’s not the head of the family, is he?”

The head of the Situ family was actually Situ Huang, but Situ Jin was in charge of the Situ family’s business.

“He was before. Now that he’s recovered, Situ Huang will definitely give him the position of the head of the family. Besides, this position should have been his.”

Qin Mingyue continued, “My sister and I are the only two girls in the Qin family. I’ve always been trained by the head of the Qin family and went overseas very early. My sister stayed in the country. One day, she suddenly called me and said that she fell in love with Situ Jin at first sight and wanted to marry him.”

“My sister was only ten at that time.”

Tang Li was silent.

She did not understand what was going on in the mind of the ten-year-old girl who fell in love with Situ Jin at first sight.

Qin Mingyue continued, “At that time, my sister lived in the Situ family for a period of time. She told me about Situ Jin every day. She said that Situ Jin’s body was very weak. He coughed all the time. However, he was very capable. With that kind of body, he still managed to take over the Situ family’s business.”

“However, if Situ Jin really became the head of the family, I would be the one to marry him. After some thought, I brought Sangsang out of the country. However, Sangsang still came back. When I found out, she had already done something stupid.”

“I wanted to apologize to the Situ family, but I didn’t expect them to kill Sangsang directly. When I saw Sangsang on her last breath, I thought to myself, should I avenge Sangsang first or should I fulfill my grandfather’s promise first?”

While Qin Mingyue was saying these things, her tone was calm. She was so calm that one could tell she had seen the vicissitudes of life.

Tang Li suddenly tilted her head to look at the door and quickly withdrew her gaze, not saying anything.

When Situ Jin, who was standing outside, heard what Qin Mingyue said, he lowered his eyes. He was calm. It was as if he had known all this all along.

After Qin Mingyue finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the living room.

When he entered the side hall and saw the two little ones sitting there playing games, he was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness.

At this moment, Linlin noticed him and waved at him. “Uncle Situ, come here.”

Situ Jin walked over.

Linlin handed the tablet to him. “Help me cooperate with Qiqi. I need to go to the bathroom.”

Situ Jin took the tablet from her hand and looked at the game on it.

He had seen Qiqi and Linlin play this game before and learned it after watching for a while.

After Linlin went to the bathroom, she found Tang Li standing in the corridor outside the herb room. She ran over. “Godmother.”

Tang Li rubbed her head and asked, “Where’s Situ Jin?”

“I asked him to help me play the game.”

Tang Li nodded and held her hand as they walked towards the side hall.

When she reached the window outside the side hall, Tang Li stopped and glanced at Situ Jin, who was sitting there playing games with Qiqi.

Situ Jin played the game while talking to Qiqi. Occasionally, he would look at the tablet in Qiqi’s hand.

Linlin said to Tang Li, “If Uncle Situ has a child, he will definitely love his child very much.”

Tang Li nodded and let go of her hand. “Go in.”

She planned to walk around.

Linlin went in.

Tang Li turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Tang Li had heard Qi Yihan mention before that the internal strife in the Situ family was much more intense than that in the Qi family, but Situ Jin’s place was very well protected. The people from the other branches could not approach this place at all.

Tang Li walked for a while before she heard footsteps behind her. Then, she heard Mrs. Situ call her, “Miss Tang.”

Tang Li stopped and turned to look at Mrs. Situ.

Mrs. Situ took good care of herself, looking like someone in her thirties. She was wearing a dark purple cheongsam and a pearl necklace and earrings. At a glance, one could tell she was a rich lady.

She walked over and asked excitedly, “Miss Tang, I heard from my husband that Jin is almost recovered. Is that true?”
