Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1425 - 1429: Everything Has Been Resolved

Xia Qingqian shook her head, "I was supposed to go to Grandpa’s place to make pastries, but then the Second Lady called Young Master Che back. I had nothing to do, so I went along. The Second Lady and Sister Chen were cooking in the kitchen, and since Young Master Che taught me so many methods, I volunteered to cook as a thank you to him."

"Later on, I drank a bit of alcohol, as did the Second Lady and Young Master Che. I felt dizzy and thought it was just because I drank, but it turned out that the Second Lady and Young Master Che also felt dizzy. I really don’t know what happened."

"Ah, Qian Qian, it seems you aren’t vigilant enough!" Beitang Huan sighed lightly, "Now that such a thing has happened, do you believe what I told you earlier? Do you understand why Brother Yao didn’t want you to interact with others? They are all targeting Brother Yao! They want to suppress his influence."

Xia Qingqian didn’t understand, shook her head and said, "Huan, why is that? Aren’t you all family? Besides, why me? I haven’t offended them."

Beitang Huan’s lips curled into a bittersweet smile as she looked at Xia Qingqian and said, "Qian Qian, anyway, after this incident, you can’t meet anyone until Brother Yao returns to give you justice! That Second Lady is really lawless! She even dares to plot against you; doesn’t she fear punishment from above?"

"Miss Huan, Miss Qing Qian, the Old Master is asking you to come downstairs; he is in the living room now," Sister Huan said as she entered.

Xia Qingqian and Beitang Huan exchanged a glance, furrowing their brows as Xia Qingqian said, "Huan, do you think Grandpa will ask me to leave here?"

"Don’t worry, everything is resolved now. Grandpa is a wise man and won’t give you a hard time; you are Brother Yao’s woman, and no one dares to harm you. But you do need to be cautious in the future!" Beitang Huan smiled at Xia Qingqian, continuously reassuring her, "Come on, let’s go downstairs."

Beitang Huan and Xia Qingqian went downstairs, both greeting the elderly man before taking their seats.

The elderly man nodded solemnly, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was silent, eerily silent, increasing Xia Qingqian’s anxiety and nervousness, her hands placed on her lap trembling slightly.

"Ah—" the elderly man suddenly sighed, shaking his head as he said, "Qian Qian, for this kind of incident, the fault lies in our lack of discipline towards the servants, causing you distress."

Xia Qingqian’s tightly clenched hands stopped for a moment, her lips trembling as she quickly looked up at the elderly man and quietly said, "Grandpa, don’t you blame me?"

"Blame you for what? It’s not your fault; Sister Chen was misguided, and I’m also to blame for always using the excuse of eating pastries to have you stay with Che. It’s unavoidable that some people would gossip." The elderly man apologized.

Beitang Huan also breathed a sigh of relief. She sat beside the elderly man, holding his arm, and looked at him with admiration, saying, "Grandpa, I knew you were a wise and good person! I believe Qian Qian wouldn’t be so indiscreet, this was obviously a trap that naïve Qian Qian fell into! I don’t know when she’ll become as smart as me and not be fooled."

"You’re the cheekiest one!" The elderly man also laughed, then suddenly coughed lightly and looked at Xia Qingqian, saying, "Qian Qian, Grandpa believes in you. From your chess character, I know you are a good girl."
