Chapter 259 Destined Daughter (2)
Su Xiaoxiao\'s eyes flickered. "Would Qin Che kill Qin Canglan to silence him?"
The corners of Su Mo\'s mouth twitched. "Do you think anyone can kill Granduncle?"
Putting aside whether Qin Che had the intention to kill or not, even if he did, his granduncle had already pulled herself out of the huge shock from yesterday. If he wanted to gain an advantage over him, Qin Che would have to have ten heads.
Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."
Su Mo asked, "Are you concerned about Granduncle?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied, "I\'m afraid that he won\'t have time to make a will."
Su Mo was speechless.
After Qin Canglan left the study, Su Mo used his qinggong and brought Su Xiaoxiao out of the Duke\'s Estate.
Su Mo said, "Go see my grandfather. He might know better than us about what happened back then."
The Old Marquis had recovered well. The poison had been completely removed, and his heart disease had been effectively controlled.
Her diet was relatively light.
The servants originally thought that it was harder to let the Old Marquis eat grass than ascend to the heavens. Unexpectedly, the Old Marquis ate with relish.
The servants knew that the Old Marquis listened to the little fat girl the most.
Su Mo told him everything he had heard in the Duke Protector\'s Estate.
The Old Marquis was also very surprised.
Su Mo asked, "Grandpa, did Granduncle really have a cousin called Ruan Xianglian?"
The Old Marquis recalled, "Yes, her surname is Ruan. I\'m not sure if her name is Xianglian, so I didn\'t ask carefully. As for her relationship with Qin Canlan… I\'ve been to the Qin family a few times and can tell that she does admire Qin Canglan very much. However, Qin Canglan doesn\'t have any feelings for her."
Anyone who was not a fool could tell if a woman had deliberately approached a man and if a man liked a woman.
Madam Ruan did not get close brilliantly.
Qin Canglan did not fancy her.
Qin Canglan\'s mother also did not agree to her marriage to Qin Canglan.
"At Qin Canglan\'s birthday banquet, the brothers in the military camp went. A group of rough men drank wine like water and forced Qin Canglan to the ground. I also drank a lot. I was carried back."
"I left my token with the Qin family. The next day, I went to get it and bumped into a carriage coming out of the Qin family. There was a woman sobbing inside. Later on, I found out that it was Madam Ruan."
"Madam Ruan was sent away by Qin Canglan\'s mother. After that, I never saw Madam Ruan in the Qin family again."
Su Mo asked, "Grandpa, was Granduncle really not involved with Madam Ruan?"
The Old Marquis smiled faintly. "If he had an affair, he would have kept her in the room long ago. At that time, he didn\'t know Huayin, so it\'s impossible for him to keep his chastity for Huayin."
Su Mo said, "In that case, it does seem like Madam Ruan\'s wishful thinking."
Su Xiaoxiao combined the information given by Qin Che and the Old Marquis and roughly deduced what happened back then.
Qin Canglan was drunk. Although he had no feelings for Ruan Xianglian, Ruan Xianglian had always wanted to get close to him. Ruan Xianglian understood that with her status, she could not be with him no matter what, so she took a bold gamble. While Qin Canglan was drunk, she slept with him.
Ruan Xianglian thought that this would be foolproof. Unexpectedly, Qin Canglan\'s mother ignored their relationship and resolutely chased her to the manor.
Mrs. Qin must have doted on her son very much, so she hated this woman who dared to climb into her son\'s bed.
Not to mention being a concubine, Ruan Xianglian would never be able to step into the Qin family.
Mrs. Qin did not like the bastard in Ruan Xianglian\'s stomach at all. Mrs. Qin was already lenient not to get rid of the mother and son.
Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. She felt that something was wrong.
…
After leaving the Duke\'s Mansion, the two of them got into Su Mo\'s carriage.
The coachman was Su Mo\'s trusted aide. He had followed Su Mo for seven years and knew very well that although Su Mo looked kind on the surface, he was actually an extremely cold person.
Everything he did was in line with his identity.
In front of the elders of the Duke Mansion, he was a filial son and a good grandson. In front of his brothers, he was a serious elder brother. In the military camp, he was an impartial young general, but in the court, he was a loyal minister.
However, recently, the coachman seemed to have sensed the change in Su Mo.
For example, the eldest young master actually knew how to peel walnuts for others personally. The four younger brothers at home had never received such treatment.
Neither did Qin Yanran and her brother.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the walnut jar. "Oh, who peeled the walnuts? They\'re so good."
"I don\'t know." Su Mo took a sip of tea.
"What do you think of what happened today?" Su Mo asked.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged the walnut jar. "Do you mean? Are you referring to Qin Canglan or Qin Che?"
