From the moment this woman entered the Qin family, Qin Si Ye had never given her a proper look, nor had he acknowledged her status.
Jiang Jie was stunned by his words, then her eyes reddened as she fell into Qin Xiu Zhi's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.
"In this family, I... I'm always an outsider. Xiu Zhi, I've been married here for over ten years, serving the elders, taking care of the younger ones, can't I even say a word?"
Qin Xiu Yi felt a pang of sympathy and patted her shoulder, turning to his son. "Si Ye, how can you speak like that? Regardless, she is your aunt, your elder."
"Aunt? Elder? She doesn't deserve it! Do you forget how she climbed into your bed in the first place?
It seems she's the same sort as Lu Yu Shan. That's why they share a common odor and are drawn to each other." Qin Si Ye was truly enraged today, saying every hurtful word he could think of.
"You..." Qin Xiu Zhi was left speechless by his retort.
Qin Si Yue couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile. Her brother was so awesome today, saying what she had always wanted to say.
Even Shen Xi marveled inwardly at Qin Si Ye's eloquence. He usually spoke little, but at crucial moments, his thoughts were clear, and his words flowed out of him, truly extraordinary.
It seemed he had encountered many such confrontational situations in the business world.
The others were stunned into silence, no one daring to utter another word.
At this moment, Qin Si Ye took a piece of paper and a white medicine bottle from his pocket and looked at Jiang Jie. "Since you're so eager to jump out, then coincidentally, there's something I want to ask you in front of everyone.
Did you buy this medicine for Grandma?"
Jiang Jie looked up, her gaze slightly unfocused. "Yes. What about it?"
He shot her a cold, menacing glare, then held up the lab report, displaying it to everyone. "This is a lab report I had someone do at the hospital. This bottle of medicine contains a chemical substance that damages the nervous system.
Knowing that Grandma's brain nerves are not good, why did you buy such medicine for her to take? What are you trying to do? Do you also want to quickly become the mistress of the Qin family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Xu Zhi Lan had been experiencing instances of mistaking people recently; was it due to taking this medicine?
Qin Xiu Zhi's hands trembled slightly as he took the lab report from Qin Si Ye. After looking down for a few seconds, he raised his hand and flung the report onto Jiang Jie's face.
Jiang Jie caught it in shock, picked it up, and looked at it, shaking her head continuously. "Xiu Zhi, you have to believe me. When I bought this medicine, I thought it was a brain-enhancing drug. I had no idea it contained substances harmful to the brain."
"Is that so? If you didn't know, would you have paid a high price to have someone buy it from abroad? Would you have such filial piety? When Grandma's condition worsened, why did you still make her take it daily?"
Qin Si Ye's pointed questions left Jiang Jie speechless.
Xu Zhi Lan had never liked Jiang Jie, and their disharmony was evident to everyone.
However, after Xu Zhi Lan's cerebral atrophy worsened, Jiang Jie became excessively attentive, serving her tea and water with great care.
Especially in the recent period, she had claimed to have found someone to get this medicine from abroad, stating it was very helpful for brain nerves, and then she reminded Xu Zhi Lan to take it daily.
Qin Si Ye hadn't trusted her at first and had specially taken it to Gu Lin for examination. Gu Lin found nothing amiss, so he didn't pay it much mind.
Now, combined with her prior behavior and the lab results, it was clear she had acted intentionally.
Everyone glared at her in anger. Just as Jiang Jie was unsure how to deflect, she suddenly looked up and saw Lu Yu Shan standing up and slowly moving towards the main entrance.
As if seeing a savior, she pointed at Lu Yu Shan and said,
"It was her, Lu Yu Shan who helped me contact and buy the medicine. I don't know anything. If you want to ask, ask her!"
