Su Xiaong’s words left everyone speechless, and the once tumultuous hall fell silent in an instant.
In the hall, the three elders of the Yin Family, all with seasoned and worldly gazes, were fixed on Su Xiaong.
anwhile, sisters like Yin Shilan and Yin Shihua, who were of the sa generation as Su Xiaong, couldn’t help but feel an emotion different from usual.
Shan Mingxu stood beside Su Xiaong, his face solemn and handso with defined features.
Wearing his military uniform, he fit the scene well as the most solid protector by Su Xiaong’s side.
Yin Shiqing wore a cold expression, while Shi Haiyan’s face turned red with anger, her lipstick-painted lips moved as if to speak, but in the end, she was so furious she couldn’t utter a word.
"Brother Shiqing is so smart and so adept at calculations; you wouldn’t be unaware of what sister-in-law just said, would you?"
"Su Xiaong, when the fourth brother chose you as his wife back then, I truly breathed a sigh of relief."
Yin Shiqing took two steps forward and just as he was about to take another step, Shan Mingxu stepped forward, imdiately blocking Yin Shiqing’s path.
Yin Shiqing glanced at Shan Mingxu, took a shallow breath, and refocused his gaze on Su Xiaong,
"I once thought he would choose a noblewoman with power and status, or a wife who could assist him in other ways, but who knew he would choose you."
"But at that ti, I really did breathe a sigh of relief."
Yin Shiqing didn’t hide the dark calculations in his heart.
But before he could finish, Su Xiaong chuckled slightly and looked straight at Yin Shiqing,
"My husband is a truly upright and capable man. Whether it’s his career or power, he built it with his own hands, unlike so who include marriage in their cost-benefit analysis."
Saying this, Su Xiaong also very aptly glanced at Shi Haiyan.
Obviously, Shi Haiyan’s face turned even more unpleasant.
Yin Shiqing’s fists clenched slightly,
"I really did misjudge..."
"..."
"The fourth brother undoubtedly has good luck. Just casually sleeping with a female college student could get him a granddaughter-in-law of the Pri Minister."
Yin Shiqing’s words were extrely unpleasant, making even Yin ng, who was standing by, want to step forward and hit him.
But Su Xiaong just smiled and accepted his words,
"I’ll take that as a complint. Indeed, my husband had better luck than Brother Shiqing, who carefully selected and ended up with a sister on death row."
"Su Xiaong! I must kill you today, I—"
Shi Haiyan grabbed the intricately carved jade ashtray from the coffee table and threw it rcilessly at Su Xiaong!
Su Xiaong stood still without dodging, only for Shan Mingxu to extend his arm and catch the jade ashtray directly, and not only did he catch it, he threw it back in return.
"Ah—!"
Everything happened too quickly. Before Shi Haiyan could vent her anger at Su Xiaong, she saw the ashtray she threw quickly tossed back at her.
She covered her head and let out a scream.
The ashtray didn’t hit Shi Haiyan but grazed past her head and landed on the carpet with a dull thud.
A brief little episode.
Yin Shiqing, who was always composed, clearly saw Su Xiaong’s reaction and his wife’s reaction.
In comparison, a feeling of sha and anger suddenly arose.
Su Xiaong looked at Yin Shiqing calmly, just so calmly, staring at him...
Without saying much, making you feel entirely uncomfortable under her gaze.
At that mont, Yin Shiqing saw the shadow of his deceased fourth brother in Su Xiaong.
"Hopefully, after the seventh day, you all can co up with a smart decision. I don’t want things to reach a point of mutual destruction, where no one benefits."
Yin Shiqing finished speaking and walked straight out, Shi Haiyan still in shock, hurriedly following with quick, "click-clack" steps in her high heels.
With Yin Shiqing and his wife gone, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer so tense, where one dared not even breathe.
But a negative, depressing atmosphere still lingered.
Su Xiaong looked at Yin Shaoting,
"Third Uncle, are you okay? Did you get hurt just now?"
Yin Shaoting shook his head,
"I’m fine... Third Uncle is still in good shape."
"That’s good."
Su Xiaong bit her lip and looked at the three elders sitting there,
"Earlier, I acted in the heat of the mont and didn’t an to disregard the elders. Originally, with two uncles and an aunt present, it wasn’t my place to speak. But seeing the two uncles and aunt up in age, and with the situation concerning Shixiu, I knew you were also feeling troubled."
