Chapter 261 - 260: That Was Quick
Si Lengyue was wary of Qin Liuxi, a member of the Mystic Sect, not being quite familiar with practical affairs and human relationships, so she kindly reminded her, and Qin Liuxi did not refute her kindness.
"Rest assured, I have everything under control." Qin Liuxi smiled faintly: "The medicine is in my hands, even if they return, the Tu Family cannot obtain it."
Should Third Grandmother Tu truly resort to forceful measures, then let her try.
Seeing Qin Liuxi’s confident demeanor, Si Lengyue spoke no more.
Meanwhile, as Qin Liuxi and Si Lengyue were conversing, Third Grandmother Tu had already been sitting in the elegant and quiet tearoom, learning about the background of Yan’er and her mother, as well as how she came by her injury.
The two were just commoners from the poor district of Qingzhou Prefecture, living in a rented small courtyard with a family of seven. The household depended on Yan’er’s father, Gao Xiaoquan, who worked as a porter at the docks, and her mother, who helped others to starch and wash clothes and did odd jobs to earn some Silver Coins.
As for Yan’er’s injury, it turned out to be because of her uncle, Tu Jiu.
"Enemies often cross each other’s paths." Third Grandmother Tu instantly understood why Qin Liuxi would not give up the Jade Snow Skin; she suspected that the poor girl was injured because of her own nephew,
"Also, the young master’s horse went mad and threw him off, breaking his leg. He’s been taken back home, and a house doctor has been summoned," a guard reported.
Third Grandmother Tu’s demeanor was cold: "He deserved it."
She knew of Tu Jiu’s mischievous and playboy nature but didn’t take it seriously. In families of powerful people, which one doesn’t have a few of such debauched playboys?
