Chapter 172 Clues
"No, Principal Chu, you misunderstood." Yan Yaqin realized belatedly that Chu Ci seemed to be completely different from what she had imagined, so she quickly changed her strategy.
"I really don't mean to force you, really not. But I really have no other choice!"
Unfortunately, Chu Ci didn't buy her tricks at all. "No other way?"
Even though Yan Yaqin noticed that Chu Ci's mood was a little strange, she still nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but shake his head. He really wouldn't give up until he reached the Yellow River!
Therefore, Chu Ci simply pointed out the fact that Yan Yaqin deliberately ignored.
"Humph, Yan Yaqin, you were able to successfully give birth to the only male child in a family as complicated as the Su family."
"Even though Su Jinghua has always been in poor health, the Su family has not had any other male heirs in all these years. If you say that there is no trickery or conspiracy on your part, who would believe it?"
Having her cards revealed so ruthlessly, Yan Yaqin's face turned pale at first, with a trace of panic and shame flashing in her eyes. Then she gritted her teeth and decided not to pretend anymore.
She suddenly stood up, her expression instantly became ferocious, and her voice became sharp: "Shanzhang Chu, you are going to push my mother and me into a dead end!"
"Look, it's so hard for me, an orphan with a widowed mother, to survive in the fierce environment of the Su family!"
"You have always considered yourself to be kind and righteous, but why are you so heartless when faced with our mother and son's request for help? You are unwilling to help us?"
"Can you just watch us fall into such a desperate situation and do nothing?"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Her words were full of accusations and resentment, completely different from her previous weak appearance.
Chu Ci sighed secretly in his heart, but his expression remained calm as usual, and then he responded slowly and unhurriedly: "So, how does Madam Su plan to make this mountain head suffer retribution?"
Yan Yaqin stared at Chu Ci closely. When she saw Chu Ci's eyes were still bright and normal, she couldn't help but be a little surprised and blurted out: "You...are you okay?"
Chu Ci raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, and looked directly at Yan Yaqin and said: "I thought Madam Su was very capable, but it turns out she just used a small trick like drugs."
"This method must have been learned from the Su family, right? Madam Su really disappoints me."
Seeing this, Yan Yaqin's originally strong confidence instantly dissipated, and she finally began to feel scared.
But she still tried to remain calm, gritting her teeth and still threatened: "Mr. Chu, you have to think it over carefully. Aren't you afraid that I will tell the master about what happened today?"
"The master values Jinghua very much. He will never watch Jinghua die like this."
"Then the master will not let you go. You must bear the consequences of your actions today!"
Speaking of this, Yan Yaqin deliberately paused, as if trying to create a sense of oppression for Chu Ci.
Seeing that Chu Ci was still unmoved, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be very imposing, and continued: "It's not too late for you to regret now. As long as you promise to help us mother and son, I can pretend that nothing has happened."
"I refuse, please go back, Madam Su!" Chu Ci said expressionlessly.
At this moment, Chu Ci had already made a clear judgment in his mind: Yan Yaqin might have been completely tamed under the influence of the Su family, and she herself was unaware of it.
When a normal mother faces someone who may be able to cure her son, she will hesitate and consider whether to cooperate, after all, it concerns her child's future and hope.
However, Yan Yaqin had no sincerity from the very beginning, and the means she used were limited to those small tricks in the backyard that were not presentable. It was really sad and ridiculous.
However, Yan Yaqin misinterpreted the meaning of Chu Ci.
In an instant her eyes widened with anger and her expression became extremely ugly. She could hardly remember how long it had been since she had suffered such an insult.
Since she married into the Su family, she has always been treated with respect by others. No one has dared to reject her so openly and not give her any face. "Master Chu, don't regret it!"
Chu Ci shook his head helplessly and said slowly, "Madam Su, before you make a decision, I advise you to discuss it with Master Su. Otherwise, it will easily damage the relationship between mother and son."
Yan Yaqin paused slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect that Chu Ci would strike back at her right after she threatened him. She was extremely angry, her body trembling slightly, her hands clenched into fists, but she controlled her impulse with reason and tried to maintain her dignity.
"Thank you, Principal Chu, for the reminder." She squeezed out these words with difficulty, full of reluctance and anger.
After saying this, she could no longer hold on, her trembling intensified, her steps became unsteady, and she staggered away slowly, her back looking disheveled, helpless, and resentful.
Therefore, it is not known that after she left, Yuanniang, the three sisters of the Fan family, Linglong, who were hiding in the more secluded corner behind the screen, as well as Taoist Yunshang and Doctor Hua who were in the next room in the side hall, all came out.
"Boss, it seems we have miscalculated. I'm afraid Yan Yaqin will be of no help to our plan." Yuanniang frowned as she came out, and said with a worried look on her face.
Fan Qianxi also said immediately: "Yes, Yuanniang is right. We misjudged her before. We thought we could use her to advance our plan, but now it seems unlikely."
"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Su's brain? She believes in her husband so deeply even though she is in a family like the Su family? This is totally not the reaction of a normal person."
Compared to Yuanniang and Fan Qianxi, Qianxue was more perceptive and she noticed more about Yan Yaqin's abnormality.
Chu Ci frowned slightly and expressed his guess: "Yan Yaqin has been completely infected and assimilated by the Su family's ideas, but she herself seems to be unaware of it."
After hearing Chu Ci's speculation, Taoist Yunshang first slowly raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, his eyes gradually revealing a thoughtful look.
After a moment, he made a rather bold guess: "Perhaps, the Su family's affairs are not just a matter of the Su family's behavior. Maybe there are some strange things about the Su family's Feng Shui?"
This angle was something that no one had expected, so they all asked in unison: "Master Yunshang, what clues have you seen?"
Taoist Master Yunshang heard this and shook his head slightly, saying, "I'm not sure yet."
As soon as these words came out, boos broke out everywhere.
Taoist Master Yunshang didn't care about this at all and continued, "But don't you think there is a huge difference between the Madam Su we saw and the sister that Teacher Yan mentioned?"
