Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 369 Countermeasures
After all, he has been an official for many years, even if he has never been involved in a case before, as long as he has a clear goal, it is not particularly difficult for Qin Shaotian to investigate.

Even if the Qin family includes the second wife, there are only a few people. Before the incident, although the aunt had conflicts with almost everyone in the Qin family, relatively speaking, the second wife of the Qin family was the most angry one.

That's right, the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui have basically been ruled out as suspects, and the two young masters and young mistresses in the second room never interact with the aunt on weekdays.Even if the second master of the Qin family was scolded by his aunt the day before, according to Qin Shaotian's investigation, the second master of the Qin family seemed more depressed than angry after his mind was exposed.

It's obvious, isn't it?

Finding an opportunity, he summoned all the masters of the Qin family to the lobby. Qin Shaotian had to make a final decision on this matter.

It's not that he deliberately favors his aunt, it's that he doesn't allow a person in the family who would choose to set fire on impulse.Such a person is more terrifying than an aunt who makes trouble for others from time to time.

God knows if he will choose arson or other extreme means after a conflict with other family members next time?The aunt, mother and son and other servants were injured, Qin Shaotian was probably angry, but if the next time the injured were his mother, wife and children...

Hmph, we must eliminate such hidden dangers before they happen!
Luo Yunrui naturally understood what Qin Shaotian wanted to say.The eldest wife of the Qin family guessed a bit more or less. Although she didn't know who the real culprit of the arsonist was, it was a member of the Qin family.Looking at the second room of the Qin family who was also called over, the eldest wife of the Qin family sighed slightly.

The Qin family has not separated for so many years. If this matter is not handled well, and the old lady of the Qin family has also passed away, I am afraid that Qin Shaotian will propose a separation?After all, the second room of the Qin family can be regarded as a small family property, and the two young masters have already married wives and had children, and it takes three years to observe filial piety...

Regarding the separation of the family, the eldest wife of the Qin family neither agreed nor opposed it.Compared with other big families, the Qin family's population is relatively small. Even though Luo Yunrui has given birth to three sons, the family is still not lively enough.However, separating the family also has its advantages. A simple population means less right and wrong, especially for Luo Yunrui who likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be noisy, she should agree.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, seeing that Qin Shaotian was about to speak, the eldest wife of the Qin family drove away other thoughts, and calmed down to listen to Qin Shaotian speak.

In fact, no matter whether it is the eldest wife of the Qin family or Luo Yunrui, as long as Qin Shaotian has made up his mind, the two of them will never object.

Now it depends on what Qin Shaotian plans to do.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I'm looking for all of you here today because of the arson case that happened in the Guest House a few days ago."

Qin Shaotian likes to talk straight to the point. In the past few days, he temporarily put aside the matter about the refugee riots and turned to find out the arson case that happened at home.Although he doesn't have direct evidence on hand now, it doesn't matter.

Carefully observing the expressions of the people in the second room, Qin Shaotian sighed slightly when he saw a flash of panic in the eyes of the second wife of the Qin family.

"Shaotian, was that an arson case? Didn't it catch fire accidentally?" The second master of the Qin family really didn't know what happened. One generation did not appear here at all.

"The fire started from the house where my aunt lived, but the house used an earth dragon instead of a charcoal basin. Of course, it is also possible that the candlestick fell down. However, I still think this fire is very strange. I searched carefully every day."

Although the second master of the Qin family has never been an official, he has been in business for decades.You must know that it is not only those who are officials can say these roundabout words. Although Qin Shaotian said it very euphemistically, he understood the meaning of the words.

After pondering for a moment, the second master of the Qin family said decisively: "Shaotian, if you have something to say, just say it, but I can assure you that I have nothing to do with the fire a few days ago."

Qin Shaotian nodded lightly: "Second Uncle, although I am an official, I have never been in touch with the case. I have tried my best to find clues these days, but... Let me be honest, I don't have any evidence. No witnesses were found either."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the second master of the Qin family, even the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui were very surprised.

However, almost instantly, Luo Yunrui understood.

I'm afraid that Qin Shaotian didn't intend to catch the real culprit of arson at all, and calling everyone over was just to teach them a lesson.That's right, if it's someone from the Qin family, if the facts are revealed, the Qin family will lose face, and the Fang family may even use this as a threat to ask the Qin family to give an explanation.

From the standpoint of the Qin family, the fire in the past few days must have been an accident.

The people in the second room of the Qin family looked at each other in blank dismay, the younger generation didn't understand what happened at all, but the second master of the Qin family understood in his heart.

"Shaotian, actually... the old lady has passed away, and it's time for our Qin family to discuss the separation of the family."

Everyone's eyes were on the second master of the Qin family, and the second wife of the Qin family even exclaimed out of composure, and then hurriedly grabbed the second master of the Qin family's sleeve.

Qin Shaotian was also a little surprised, he only wanted to teach the second wife of the Qin family a lesson so that she would never dare to make such stupid mistakes in the future, but he never really thought about letting the Qin family split up.In his view, a family needs elders, especially male elders.

When the old lady of the Qin family passes away, everyone's seniority will be raised.

From now on, the eldest wife of the Qin family will be called the old lady of the Qin family, Qin Shaotian will be called the master, and Luo Yunrui will be called the wife.As for the second room, at most they can be called separately. You must know that there are many aristocratic families that have not separated for more than ten generations.

Seeing the astonishment in Qin Shaotian's eyes, the second master of the Qin family knew that he had guessed wrong. He originally thought that Qin Shaotian was making excuses on purpose, and hoped that the two families could separate.In fact, even if it is really necessary to separate the family, this reason is still on Qin Shaotian's side.

"Second uncle, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. When the old lady was alive, I promised that the family would not be separated for at least ten years. Although it has been several years, it seems that it has not been ten years yet, right?"

Regarding the ten-year agreement, this is indeed what Qin Shaotian promised.Luo Yunrui still remembered that it was when the aunt insisted on marrying her son to Qin Xi, and for some reason, the second room was involved.However, at that time, Qin Shaotian was more angry with the old lady of the Qin family, obviously no one took the ten-year agreement he said to heart.

Since Qin Shaotian mentioned it again at this time, it shows that the original promise is still valid.

"Then, Shaotian, are you planning to..." The second master of the Qin family suddenly glanced at the second wife of the Qin family, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

At this time, the second master of the Qin family had already understood, if Qin Shaotian didn't make excuses to attack, then it was true.If the arson case was committed by the eldest son of the Qin family, then there is absolutely no need for the second son to participate.In this way, it can only be...

"I don't mean anything, but I always think that if you do something wrong, you must be punished. Second uncle, what do you think?"

Some words don't have to be so clear, Qin Shaotian believes that the second master and second wife of the Qin family can understand what he said.As for the juniors in the second room of the Qin family, it's okay even if they don't understand.

"This... I understand." The second master of the Qin family suddenly looked very decadent, but he still nodded: "Don't worry, Shaotian, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, definitely!"

Qin Shaotian didn't want to make the situation too rigid, he didn't intend to make the Qin family split because of the aunt, mother and son.After hesitating for a while, Qin Shaotian said again: "Second Uncle, this matter is a matter of the Qin family, as long as I can give the Qin family an explanation. For the time being, my aunt and wife will answer the Fang family by saying that the second uncle is on fire. You also know that the Fang family is not a good thing."

"Okay, it's up to you." In just half an hour, when the second master of the Qin family left, he seemed to be several years older.

The second wife of the Qin family's complexion was not good-looking either, she understood that Qin Shaotian already knew that she did it, but because he wanted to save the face of the Qin family, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.In other words, what she thought of cleaning up the tail without any evidence didn't work at all.

When doubting a person, even if there is no evidence, there are other ways to punish, such as this time.

The second room of the Qin family left anxiously, Qin Shaotian looked at the eldest wife of the Qin family with a wry smile: "Mother, do you think it's appropriate for me to do this?"

Regarding his second uncle and aunt, Qin Shaotian really didn't want to make the relationship too rigid.However, as the head of the Qin family, he has to consider the safety of his family more.In any case, he didn't want to have such an unstable factor around him.This time it was just a warning to let her know what she can and can't do.If there is another time, even if it only targets servants, Qin Shaotian will not tolerate it anymore.

To get revenge, there are some secret methods, such as arson, but if there is an emergency, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.

"Shaotian, you are grown up, so you can do whatever you want. Even if you really want to separate today, Rui'er and I can only support you? Rui'er, what do you think?"

The words of the eldest wife of the Qin family are exactly what Luo Yunrui wanted to say, but Luo Yunrui thought more than the eldest wife of the Qin family: "Shaotian, the most difficult part of this matter is probably the reaction of the Fang family. Even if it was really an accident, do you think Fang's family will accept it so easily after getting the news?"

The aunt's injury is not serious, no matter whether it was an accident or not, it must have happened at Qin's house.

"Rui'er, don't worry, I already have a countermeasure for the Fang family."
