Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Let’s Split the Home Today When We Get Back Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Let’s Split the Home Today When We Get Back Elder of the Geng Family, upon hearing this, knew that his daughter-in-law had not been truthful at home. He now disliked her even more.
Geng Fengming, the eldest son of the Geng Family, also glared angrily at his wife, “Wenli, if you don’t care about your daughter’s wellbeing, then you might as well not tell the truth.”
Tian Wenli, caught like a tiger in a trap, secretly resolved in her heart to settle scores with that vile girl once everything was over.
With resolve, she said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have tarnished Yan Qiu’s fiancé’s reputation. It was wrong of me as an aunt. I will never do such a thing again.”
These words made the people of the Geng Family’s Main Wife deeply ashamed. The Geng Family Eldest Grandson, Geng Lingfeng, even felt it was a lifelong disgrace to have such a mother. It was only after his cousin went abroad and he accidentally overheard a conversation between his mother and sister in the bedroom that he learned they had even poisoned his cousin.
Already feeling guilty about his cousin, he was now confronted with his mother’s backhanded actions, no wonder his cousin was reluctant to help and had even sent a message. His mother still felt it was deliberately to make things difficult for her.
It now seemed that they were still considering his cousin’s dignity. Otherwise, they could have simply refused and not wasted their time. He had heard that his cousin was very busy.
Old Master Geng was now really about to faint from anger, suppressing his fury, “When we go back today, let’s divide the family assets. Stop thinking about the possessions of the second wife. Those were exchanged for their daughter’s life by Feng Jin and Xiuqin, and you have no right to enjoy them.”
At this remark, Tian Wenli almost went mad.
She had schemed for so long to get those assets and connections, and now with a single statement from the elder, they had to let go. It was unbearable.
In an uncontrolled outburst, Tian Wenli blurted out, “Dad, you have to consider your grandsons Lingfeng and Zhifeng. They are the future of the Geng Family.”
Luo Qiao scoffed, “No wonder you would poison Yan Qiu. That was the game you were playing.”
At this, a deadly silence fell over the entire council room.
Old Master Geng trembled as he looked at Luo Qiao, “What did you just say?”
Luo Qiao, with a mocking smile, looked toward Tian Wenli, “Your eldest daughter-in-law knows very well.”
Now Tian Wenli really panicked, “You’re talking nonsense, slandering me!”
Luo Qiao glanced over her watch, “Whether I’m talking nonsense, I believe the Geng family knows better than I do, an outsider. How you behaved before is none of my business, but now that Yan Qiu is my friend and also my fourth brother’s partner, I am definitely protecting her.”
Then she looked at Tian Wenli again, “You might not know, but before she went abroad, I had already helped her neutralize the poison. You really are a villain, and you’ve even turned your own daughter into a little villainess. She is the one who’s been harmed by you.”
Geng Fengming wanted to utilize his younger brother’s connections, considering his brother only had a daughter who would eventually marry out, leaving those connections unused. But he had never imagined his wife would resort to poisoning.
If this got out, how could the Geng Family show their faces? How could they make up to their deceased younger brother and his wife, or face their niece Yan Qiu?
He stood up and rushed toward Tian Wenli, grabbing her suddenly, “Did you really poison Yan Qiu? You knew she was my younger brother’s only descendant.”
Tian Wenli had never seen her husband so terrifying, yet she argued back, “Only if she’s gone will all those assets and connections fully belong to the Main House. How am I wrong?”
Geng Lingfeng’s head buzzed, and he felt overwhelmed, “Mom, everything you did was for us, forcing us to bear infamy. Is this what you wanted? How are we supposed to face Yan Qiu or hold our heads high now?”
Tian Wenli saw the disappointment in her son’s eyes, “My son, it’s not like that, Lingfeng, listen to me, it’s not what you think.”
Luo Qiao glanced at the time, “If you want to perform, find a quiet place.”
She turned to look at Elder of the Geng Family, “I will find some time to look into the Rong Family’s issue. I can’t guarantee I can neutralize the poison, but I will consider it for Yan Qiu’s sake.
If I really can neutralize the poison, I will still need to see what Yan Qiu wants, whether she still wants to help you, after all, the Geng Family once wanted her dead.”
With these words, she turned and left the meeting room, having intentionally exposed the matter to keep the Geng family from ever looking Yan Qiu in the eye, knowing that Tian Wenli indeed tried to harm them.
She didn’t want her fourth brother to be bullied by the people of the Geng Family’s Main House in the future. It was better to strike first, to ensure they stayed quiet. If they dared scheming again, they couldn’t blame her for not being polite.
Seeing Luo Qiao leave, Geng Fengming, grinding his teeth with rage, said to Tian Wenli, “Deal with this according to Luo Qiao’s demand, or you’ll be sent back to the Tian family to retire. My family cannot afford to keep a villain like you.”
