Although she believed Sang Qingxiao's words in her heart, He Chuan still exchanged glances with her, urging her to deny it. As a devoted wife, He Chuan was naturally obedient and was just about to speak up.
However, she heard Sang Qingxiao whispering, "The plan that Qi Hao intends to use to gain benefits from the court was overheard by you, right? Even if it wasn't eavesdropping, someone must have deliberately fed you this information. After all, you wouldn't come up with such a plan on your own."
Regardless of which scenario it was, in my judgment, the likelihood is quite high. If someone had a bit of sense, upon hearing this, they would definitely keep it to themselves and pretend not to have heard anything. They certainly wouldn't act like you did and spread it around, because after all, trouble comes from the mouth.
But who could blame you for being so foolish? You actually brought this to me. I can guess your intentions; you simply want to use your son once again. If things go well, you can take credit in front of Qi Hao, and if they don't, you are confident that your son won't implicate you.
You thought you were clever coming up with all this and running to me to spill the beans. If Qi Hao knew that his plans were being broadcasted by you with just a few words, do you think he would let you off the hook?
Feeling He Chuan tremble under her grip, Sang Qingxiao tightened her hold again. He Chuan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain but gritted her teeth and refused to speak.
Sang Qingxiao realized she had successfully intimidated her. Today's conversation would remain a secret between us; I certainly wouldn't spread it around.
As for you, I hope you haven't mentioned this to anyone else before seeing me, and I also hope you'll forget everything we've discussed today from now on. If you don't want to be killed by Qi Hao, if you don't want him to completely abandon you, then be a little smarter.
By the way, you just accused me of wanting Qi Hao, which is indeed true, so just admit it obediently.
He Chuan compromised and did not meet Qi Hao's gaze.
"He Chuan!"
Qi Hao called her name warningly.
Sang Qingxiao stepped forward and shielded her from the pressure.
"What does the Qi Family Head mean by this? Do you intend to frame me? Are you planning to drive me out in front of everyone or kill me out of anger? Or are you trying to use me as leverage against Qi Xiaomian?"
Taking a few steps closer while recalling her earlier fabricated words, she didn't get too close but chose an advantageous position. "Qi Family Head, I assume you've investigated me. I gained fame in Jingjing City due to a decree that stated: 'Those who insult the Demon Catcher shall die!'"
The remarks from the Second Lady today were nothing short of a great insult to me. No matter how poor my judgment may be, I would never set my sights on a decrepit old man on the verge of decay.
Therefore, even if I were to kill her, the laws of the court could not convict me. Besides, I haven't done anything to her; it was merely a small warning and scare. The Qi Family Head is making too much of a fuss over nothing.
Qi Family Head, your current position is one where a single thread can affect the entire tapestry. So before you act or make decisions, don't let your emotions take over; think things through carefully.
For instance, shouldn't you consider this now? Do you truly understand me? Have you uncovered all my capabilities? Can you withstand my wrath?
Sang Qingxiao did not truly understand Qi Hao either, making it difficult to judge who would win in a confrontation between them. But at this moment, it was all about maintaining an air of mystery and asserting dominance.
Whoever overthinks will be the first to concede. As expected, Qi Hao found a way to back down gracefully.
