Chapter 14: Confession

Han Dazhu asked worriedly, "What's wrong, girl? Are you still thinking about the Qin family…"

He thought that Qin Xi was in a bad mood because of cutting ties with her family. It made sense. Although those people treated her brutally, they were still her family after all. How could she not be sad?

Qin Xi was silent as she began to prepare to tell the story/lie…

"Grandpa, it's like this. When I was young, I met a master who taught me many skills. He taught me how to read, medical skills, Qigong, and talismans…"

Before Qin Xi could finish, Han Dazhu's hand trembled in excitement and his walking stick fell to the ground. He asked impatiently, "Really? You really met a master?"

Luo Xiujuan also looked at Qin Xi expectantly, wanting to hear more from her, but she was puzzled. "Then all these years, you…" free webnovel.com

Qin Xi continued, "Mother, do you want to ask me why I endured the Qin family's bullying all these years instead of using my skills to impress them?"

Luo Xiujuan said what was on her mind. "Yes, if you're really that capable, they won't treat you like that, and you won't have to suffer."

Qin Xi shook her head and she said, "Do you think that if I revealed my ability, they would stop bullying and abusing me? No, it'd only get worse."

Han Dazhu nodded in agreement. "You are right. If they knew, they would definitely use you to make money."

"So… when Qin Feng poisoned me, I beat him at his own game and threatened the Qin family to cut ties with me. In the future, I won't be obliged to help them."

Qin Xi looked at Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan guiltily. "I'm sorry, Grandpa and Mother. I didn't tell you about this in advance. I was afraid that you wouldn't agree to me risking my life, and I wasn't sure if your acting skills could really fool them… So… I made the decision on my own. I'm sorry!"

Han Dazhu did not expect Qin Xi, a girl who was not even 20 years old, to be able to plan a few moves ahead of others. Although he was indeed angry that she was risking her life, he could understand her intentions.

Seeing that she was sincere in admitting her mistake, Han Dazhu chose to forgive her. Besides, Qin Xi was right. If she really told them the plan in advance, their acts wouldn't be convincing.

"Girl, we don't blame you. We only blame the Qin family."

Luo Xiujuan bit her lip, her eyes filled with shock. She felt that her daughter-in-law was too smart. Not only did she fool everyone, but she also made all the villagers stand on her side.

Han Shi did not understand what they were talking about. He sat beside Qin Xi obediently and fiddled with his clothes from time to time, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Xi's hand.

He thought to himself, "My wife's hands are really beautiful."

"What about the poison?" Han Dazhu asked.

Qin Xi said with a smile, "It's been removed long ago. My plan was to fool Qin Feng and make him anxious. Only then would he freak out and agree to my request."

The more Han Dazhu looked at Qin Xi, the more satisfied he was with this granddaughter-in-law. "Not bad, not bad! Then what do you plan to do next?"

Qin Xi said seriously, "Grandpa, I plan to ask Doctor Liu to take me in as his student. That way, I can practice my medical skills openly and people won't gossip about it. What do you think?" fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

"You're really thoughtful. However, I wonder what Liu Dequan will think!" Han Dazhu asked worriedly. He more or less knew what kind of a person Liu Dequan was.

Qin Xi said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll get him to agree."
