Yet before she could finish speaking, Qin Fu slapped her, knocking her to the ground.
At this mont, he also guessed Mrs. Qin’s intentions, so who had placed the poison no longer mattered.
Because it was she who brought the dicine, moreover, Ruan Mian had ntioned it was related to the Abbot of Thunder God Temple. As long as he sent soone to interrogate, the truth would co out.
If it wasn’t so certain, Ruan Mian wouldn’t have chosen this mont to step forward.
In another regard, he understood this wife’s dissatisfaction with him over the years.
Yet, considering their marital bond, she once helped him in many ways, Qin Fu hadn’t acted against her.
He let her harm his concubine, drown his forr illegitimate child, and he endured it all.
But now she had such a vicious thought as to murder her husband, how could he still ignore it!!
"Soone! Drag her away!"
Qin Fu trusted Ruan Mian without hesitation, making Mrs. Qin’s emotions utterly unravel.
She was still making her last struggle: "Husband, do you truly not trust ? I am your wife, the mother of your children."
As she spoke, she pointed at Ruan Mian, feeling it was laughable: "And you’d rather believe that cheap woman?"
As she spoke, her expression changed, those sharp eyes filled with malice, and after being dragged to the door, she suddenly fell into hysteria.
"Qin Fu, you are truly ungrateful!! You don’t even trust , if not for my family, how could you have today? You’ve been philandering outside for years, I’ve never complained, I’ve managed the entire Qin Mansion for you, yet you ignore it all, even when our son is in trouble you don’t care!"
"For soone like you, falling into the eighteen levels of hell after death is not too much! Even if it’s not who brings your demise, you will surely not et a good end, soone will ensure your death!"
Her words gradually softened until they faded away.
Watching Qin Fu’s tense expression, Ruan Mian took a deep breath, comforting him softly.
"Sir, do not be distressed. If one’s spouse fails to understand your hardships and harbors thoughts to harm you, then it’s best to break ties swiftly."
"As a civilian woman, I know it’s inappropriate for to step forward today, but I couldn’t stand by while you faced an unjust death. Our deal isn’t over yet, I still need to rely on you for my success."
Unabashedly showing her ambition before Qin Fu, Ruan Mian instead won more of his admiration.
As for his wife, he wasn’t exactly heartbroken, rather, he felt a sense of anger and loss.
After all, they had been married for decades, and still she wanted to kill him.
Thinking of that disappointing son, Qin Fu’s gaze darkened, longing for solitary peace, so he spoke to Ruan Mian.
"I must thank Miss Ruan for your reminders today; I’ll have soone escort you ho."
Ruan Mian bowed politely: "You’re too kind, sir. After my brother inford the tea was poisoned today, I left the gambling table you set for , already grateful you hold no grudge."
"I won’t disturb you now; I’ll leave first. Tomorrow, I’ll provide more improved blueprints for weapons, if the craftsn work quickly, they can complete a prototype within two days for your approval."
The ntion of soon-to-be weapons dispelled Qin Fu’s sadness.
He imagined only the bright days ahead.
Once he beca a noble in Da Jing, let alone his wife, he could have as many spouses and offspring as he wanted!!
Leaving Qin Mansion, Ruan Mian received considerable respect from the guards, perhaps because Qin Fu’s attendants had instructed them, so they treated Ruan Mian politely.
They even improved their attitude towards Yun Xiu.
Previously, when Yun Xiu ca to see Ruan Mian, he was stopped outside the door, even ntioning Qin Fu only allowed them brief conversation through the courtyard gate.
Today, however, they politely invited Yun Xiu inside, allowing them to converse.
Once alone outside, Ruan Mian spoke in a voice only they could hear.
"Why did you co today? Is sothing wrong with Qin Shen?"
He should be watching over Qin Shen these days, after handing Qin Shen over to Yun Xiu, Ruan Mian had not overseen him.
Yun Xiu wouldn’t abandon his charge to visit privately.
Yun Xiu’s furrowed brow, hesitating expression made Ruan Mian realize sothing happened. Upon inquiry, Yun Xiu confessed honestly.
Yet before speaking, he first knelt before Ruan Mian, seeking forgiveness.
"Sister Mianmian, I’ve wronged you!"
"Ashu, what are you doing? Get up quickly! If sothing’s gone wrong, just say it, no need for this."
