“That’s right. Tell me, if Matriarch Murong truly loved her granddaughter, why would she want to give her granddaughter away? Moreover, I remember when my younger sister-in-law was giving birth, she heard that she gave birth to a pair of twins. Her face didn’t look very good, forming a sharp contrast with those of us who were filled with excitement upon hearing it. It was also because of this that I clearly remembered Matriarch Murong’s expression at that time. At that time, I did not pay much attention to it. I only thought that she might have felt that this was the Qu family’s child and had nothing to do with the Murong family. That was why she did not show an excited expression. Now that I think about it, she must have had her own plans in her heart.” As he said that, Qu Yaotao nodded his head with certainty.
“Huh, wait. Yaobing, why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Elder Qu asked a little slowly.
Qu Yaobing, on the other hand, had a gloomy face ever since Qu Yaotao opened his mouth to speak. He listened to Qu Yaotao speak without saying a word.
“What I mean is that ever since Murong Qi was born, Matriarch Murong has been trying to force Murong Qi into the Qu family. She wants to rely on Murong Qi to rope the Qu family in so that the Murong family can use us. Dad, Yaobing, think about it. In those few years when she opened her mouth, didn’t Matriarch Murong mention a lot about how she wanted Murong Qi to inherit the Qu family?” Qu Yaotao said.
“Yes, she did talk about it a lot. She didn’t dare say it in front of me. However, in front of your mother, she spoke about it a lot. Fortunately, my attitude was firm. Otherwise, your mother would have agreed long ago,” Elder Qu replied.
“So, I think Matriarch Murong’s motive is to make the Qu family support the Murong family…” Qu Yaotao didn’t finish his sentence. Elder Qu and Qu Yaobing were not stupid. They only needed to think a little and they knew how powerful her plan was.
“How outrageous. She actually schemed against the Qu family and my precious granddaughter for the sake of her family’s interests. She caused the Qu family to be separated from each other for so many years.” Elder Qu slapped the table angrily, fortunately, this table was passed down from the older generation. It was made of solid wood and was very sturdy.
Qu Yaobing’s brows were tightly knitted together.
“Then regarding this matter, what do you all think?” Qu Yaotao asked for the opinions of Elder Qu and Qu Yaobing. Although he also hated Matriarch Murong and hated her for taking away his niece and causing the Qu family to be unable to reunite for so many years, he really could not make the decision for this matter.
“Yaobing, how should we deal with this matter? Tell me.” Although Elder Qu was filled with extreme hatred, his rationality was still there. He also knew that Matriarch Murong’s current identity was still his youngest son’s mother-in-law.
“We’ll deal with this matter as we should. I’ll tell Ying about this later. As for the others, I’ll have to trouble you two,” Qu Yaobing said with a dark face.
When Elder Qu, Qu Yaobing, and Qu Yaotao walked out of the study room, everyone’s gaze in the Qu family’s living room was focused on the three of them, waiting for the three of them to answer their questions.
Qu Yaobing walked straight to Murong Ying’s side and said to her, “Ying, follow me upstairs.”
Murong Ying’s heart could not help but sink. Although she did not know what had happened, her husband’s expression told her that something had happened.
Murong Ying’s face was pale as she followed Qu Yaobing’s footsteps. Qu Haoxiang looked at his mother’s pale face and his heart felt very uncomfortable. He was about to speak but was stopped by Qu Haoqiang who was beside him.
Qu Yaobing never liked to beat around the bush when it came to matters. When they reached the room, he went straight to the point and told Murong Ying what he had heard from Qu Yaotao. After Murong Ying heard her husband Qu Yaobing’s words, her originally pale face turned as white as a piece of white paper. Seeing this, Qu Yaobing’s heart ached.
However, no matter how much Qu Yaobing’s heart ached, he knew that his wife, Murong Ying, would have to face this matter sooner or later.
After his mother-in-law had done such a thing, he could no longer treat her as his mother-in-law like he usually did. The Qu family could not let the Murong family off so easily. Hence, his wife, Murong Ying, would have to face this matter sooner or later. Qu Yaobing looked at his wife and waited for her to slowly accept this news bit by bit.
The people in the Qu family’s living room were not any better. They were shocked by the news that Qu Yaotao had thrown down and did not regain their senses for a long time. Qu Haoxiang was not as quiet as his mother. He stood up and looked at his grandfather and third uncle, saying, “Grandpa, Uncle Yaotao, do you have evidence to prove that my grandmother did this?”
Qu Haoxiang and the Murong family really did not have much of a relationship with Matriarch Murong. Qu Haoxiang only stood up and asked these questions because of his mother. After all, if the Murong family really did it, what would his mother do then? How would his mother face the rest of the family?
That was why Qu Haoxiang was so emotional after listening to his third uncle’s words.
“Ah child, we are not unreliable. We have irrefutable proof.” Elder Qu also knew what his grandson, Qu Haoxiang, was thinking, so, he didn’t get angry. “Haoxiang, I know what you’re worried about. This was done by your grandmother’s family. Your mother didn’t know and has nothing to do with her, so you can put away your worries.” Elder Qu immediately exposed the worry in Qu Haoxiang’s heart.
“Hubby, tell me, how could she do it? The baby is not only the Qu family’s granddaughter, but also her granddaughter. She is also related by blood.” Madam Qu was also very emotional. Madam Qu, who had not been in good health for the past few years, could not accept the news that Qu Yaotao had thrown at her.
Madam Qu clutched her chest, her face scrunched up in pain, scaring everyone in the Qu family. Elder Qu reacted quickly and rushed to Madam Qu’s side, supporting Madam Qu who was about to fall.
“Mom, mom, what happened to you?” The Qu family members reacted and surrounded her.
Qu Haoqiang, who had always been very calm, did not panic. He did not surround her. Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number. However, Qu Haoqiang’s shaking hands betrayed his current mood.
