The situation turned into a worrisome one.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feixiong didn\u2019t expect Yin Hexiang to call the police. He looked on helplessly as Yin Yan pushed aside the staff to stand guard by Yin Le and Yu Zhen as the two followed after Yin Hexiang. He was left feeling angry, anxious, and panicked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

“Dad, those refreshments…”<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Xiehua had already processed the wretched drama. The aged skin on his face sagged and his eyebrows dropped down into a furrow as he scolded, \u201cWhat are you losing your head for?! Even if the police come, they can\u2019t find a treasured item made from ancestral magic. Go. Bring the wheelchair here. For me to be \u2018wrongly accused\u2019 by Yin Yan, this messenger of death – Feiqian should understand my pains more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feixiong calmed down at those words. He then angrily added, \u201cI really don\u2019t know how Feiqian has been teaching her kids! Seriously, both of them! And those housekeepers! Their mouths are unguarded[1]<\/sup><\/i><\/span>! They\u2019ll have to be sorted out!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s enough! Don\u2019t utter anymore nonsense! Hurry up!\u201d Qiu Xiehua impatiently urged. Unlike his firm external demeanor, he was internally rather anxious.<\/span><\/p>

Within his room was a heart soothing talisman. As soon as Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian had stepped in the door, they would have been influenced by the talisman. Even if they weren\u2019t completely docile and compliant to his wishes, they shouldn’t have had opposing intentions, nevermind the quarrel which had just happened.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Could the talisman have been placed there for too long? Did it lose its effectiveness?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Did the refreshments also fail to work?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

He frowned. His gaze shifted to his powerless legs and he gritted his teeth.<\/span><\/p>

If it weren\u2019t for the sudden muddle-headedness, I wouldn\u2019t have wasted so many years! The Qiu family would have soared into the skies! There wouldn\u2019t have been a chance for Qiu Feiqian to be bewitched by Yin Hexiang, or for her wings to be fully spread. She wouldn\u2019t arrogantly talk back to me, her father!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

No, this situation must be reversed. The Qiu family cannot decline.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

He looked at the back of his hands which were covered with age spots, and a wild look entered his eyes.<\/span><\/p>

I can\u2019t die. I haven\u2019t seen this family\u2019s rise, and I haven\u2019t enjoyed being at the height of power. I can\u2019t die.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Meanwhile, Qiu Feiqian had rushed to the coffee table in the living room. She picked up a snack and put it to her nose. At first, she could only smell a sweet fragrance, but, gradually, the distinctive smell of something rotten reached her nose.<\/span><\/p>

The smell almost made her vomit. With a serious expression, she broke apart the snack. Unfortunately, the insides were made of a powdery substance so the ingredients were unclear. With a tense look on her face, she looked around the room. Seeing that the housekeepers were not around, she anxiously yelled, \u201cWhere\u2019s the housekeeper that made these refreshments?! You\u2019d better come out here! Get out here right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

She threw the snack onto the ground as she shouted, completely unable to maintain a reasonable appearance.<\/span><\/p>

With this stench, I don\u2019t even need to think hard to know it\u2019s not anything good!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

How could my own father want to hurt my son?! How can I accept this?! How can I get over this hurdle in my heart?!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

“Feiqian.”<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang quickly stepped forward and put an arm over her shoulders. Noticing her slight trembles, he pulled her into his arms, leaning her head against his shoulder. \u201cGo on. Cry if you need to. Don\u2019t bottle it up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI just don\u2019t understand…\u201d Qiu Feiqian returned his embrace. Some weakness could be heard in her voice as she shook her head and said, \u201cI\u2019ve never done anything to wrong them. Why are they like this? I don\u2019t understand…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

“It\u2019s not your fault. The problem isn\u2019t with you. It\u2019s not your fault.”<\/span><\/p>

“Mom.”<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le rushed in, the rims of eyes red. He clumsily patted her back and, despite his own feelings of being wronged, he placated, \u201cIt\u2019s alright, Mom. I didn\u2019t eat the snack. Brother didn\u2019t either. Yu Ge smelled that something was off so we didn\u2019t eat it. Don\u2019t be afraid, Mom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

This was the first time that Yu Zhen had seen Qiu Feiqian lose her composure and show a weak side. He felt a sinking feeling within himself. At the same time, he was puzzled about how Qiu Feiqian could smell something suspicious. Yin Le had smelled something because he had placed a seed in Yin Le\u2019s hat, but there wasn\u2019t a seed on Qiu Feiqian.<\/span><\/p>

As the harmful substance was made with magic, it would be all too easy to make it colorless and tasteless.<\/span><\/p>

Guessing that Yin Yan had done something, he turned to look at the man and hoped his confusion would be cleared up.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan whispered, \u201cI\u2019ve removed the spells casted on the corpse oil and corpse powder. The removal exposed their true odor.\u201d He then looked up in the direction of Qiu Xiehua\u2019s room and said, \u201cDad, Mom, Grandfather and Uncle are coming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian immediately forced her tears to stop. She took a few tissues from the coffee table and without care about smudging her makeup, she wiped her face. She looked at Yin Hexiang and asked, \u201cHave you called the police?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang nodded.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGood.\u201d Qiu Feiqian turned back to the table, ignoring Qiu Xiehua, who had been wheeled into the room. She collected a few plates of the refreshments and motioned for Yin Yan and Yin Le to watch over them. Then, she marched towards the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>

With the kind expression of an ordinary, benevolent, old man, Qiu Xiehua said, \u201cFeiqian, what are you doing? You and Hexiang misunderstood Dad. How could Dad purposefully hurt his own grandsons. I just had the housekeepers add some sweetener to the refreshments. It was just to change the taste a little. I remember that Yin Le likes sweet things.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feixiong followed up on his act and added, \u201cThat\u2019s right. Xiao Yan likes to overthink things. Why have you guys played along with his confused thoughts? We\u2019re family. If we call the police over a small fight and some conflicting views, outsiders will laugh at us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian stopped in her tracks. She turned around expressionlessly and blandly stated, \u201cThere was no overthinking. Let the police come and check. Once the results are out, we\u2019ll be able to confirm it.\u201d She sent them a pointed look, showing no weakness before she continued, \u201cIf it turns out that it really is my overthinking things, then I\u2019ve wrongly accused Dad. I will willingly hand over Xiangfei and Qianle. But if I am not the mistaken one, I will no longer have anything to do with this Qiu family!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Her words were fierce and made a big impact.<\/span><\/p>

Unsettled by her words, Qiu Feixiong snapped, \u201cFeiqian, what nonsense are you spouting?! What do you mean by \u2018have nothing to do with this family\u2019?! Do you think the same blood in our veins can just be let out?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Xiehua\u2019s face twitched and he sighed deeply. \u201cYou\u2019ve been willful ever since you were little\u2026 Nevermind, being a father means you have to give way to the kids. If you want to investigate it, then investigate it. Otherwise, you\u2019ll always have a knot in your heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

His magnanimous attitude affected Yin Le, someone with little experience with society. With some doubt and worry in his eyes, he looked at the snacks.<\/span><\/p>

Unswayed by his words, Qiu Feiqian replied with a touch of mockery in her voice, \u201cI do have a knot in my heart. I\u2019ve been a very generous daughter. Ever since I got married, you\u2019ve never once done a single thing to make me feel happy. I\u2019ve put up with it and had my children endure it with me. But, Dad, there\u2019s a limit to my endurance. This is the last chance between us. Don\u2019t make me hate you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Then, she walked straight into the kitchen, intending to ferret out the housekeeper who was responsible for making the refreshments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a moment of hesitation, Yin Le followed after her.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ll call Uncle Weng and the lawyer over.\u201d Yin Yan gave Yu Zhen a reassuring look, then he pulled out his phone and walked to a corner to make the call.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang let Yin Yan do as he wished. His son had suffered a lot of bullying in the Qiu house when he was a child. It was a good opportunity to <\/span>break o<\/span>ff their relations, so Yin Hexiang was all too happy to let his son vent his anger.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Xiehua and Qiu Feixiong frowned, but they didn\u2019t say anything else. The Yin family were all in a fit of anger, if they were to speak up, it would produce the opposite result to what they wanted. <\/span>They won\u2019t be able to find anything anyway, might as well let them make a fuss. The bigger the fuss they make, the better the conditions we can make.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

After a few minutes, the police arrived. Yin Hexiang stepped forward as the one who\u2019d reported the case and explained the situation. He included the snacks as evidence and showed them to the police officer. Qiu Feiqian hauled the maker of the snacks in front of the police officer. She then stepped back calmly and listened to the housekeeper\u2019s confession.<\/span><\/p>

Following Yu Zhen\u2019s instructions, Xin Xiaoxiao drifted to the housekeeper\u2019s side and blew an ill wind by her ear. This caused the housekeeper\u2019s unsteady psychological foundation to immediately collapse and she confessed, \u201cThings were added into the snacks. Old Master Qiu gave me the additives which were stored in strange little glass bottles. When I opened the bottle, there was a horrid stench, but after the snack was made, the smell disappeared. I\u2019m not sure why, but the stench came back later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian\u2019s head turned at her words. Her lips flattened and she crossed her arms in a defensive gesture.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang walked to her side and patted a shoulder, comforting her.<\/span><\/p>

The police officer glanced at Qiu Xiehua before continuing with his questions. \u201cWhere\u2019s the glass bottle? Is it still around? Show it to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe glass bottle was taken away by the old master. The old master watched me add all of the liquid from the bottle into the snacks, so there\u2019s none left.\u201d After answering, the housekeeper felt relaxed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The police officer looked at Qiu Xiehua again. Qiu Xiehua waved a hand, and his care worker immediately took out a bottle and handed it to the police.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Xiehua sighed, \u201cIt\u2019s just sweetener. It\u2019s a misunderstanding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The police officer declined to comment. He took the bottle away and spoke to the other housekeepers to better understand the situation. Seeing that there was a monitoring system in the mansion, the officer took a backup copy of the surveillance footage. The officer also looked into the purchases of the Qiu household for the past few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The preliminary investigation was then concluded. For the final verdict, they would need the results for the tests on the snacks to return.<\/span><\/p>

After a while, Weng Xiping arrived with the lawyer. After a quick talk with the police, he took on the follow-up work for the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Seeing the arrival of the Yin family\u2019s lawyer, Qiu Feixiong caved and also called his family\u2019s lawyer. He was worried that the Qiu Feiqian\u2019s lawyer would do some funny business with the case.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian\u2019s heart had turned cold. After seeing off the police, she didn\u2019t bother saying a goodbye to her father or brother. She simply left with her family.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. \u5634\u5df4\u6ca1\u628a\u95e8. Their mouths are unguarded.

    I like this expression a lot so I kept it in. The more English way of expressing this would be ‘They have loose lips’.

    Breaking down the phrase:
    \u5634\u5df4=mouth
    \u6ca1=no\/didn’t
    \u628a\u95e8= to stand as a goal keeper\/stand on guard
