Chapter 1991 - 165: Love Triangle
It was indeed Grandma Qin who did it.
Dong Huiying: "..."
"Look at this."
Yixuan turned to the last page of the register: "This person followed Grandma Qin, held a position similar to Qin Chun, and died protecting Grandma Qin over a decade ago. But before her death, she mentioned a few things to some people. The massacre back then was indeed orchestrated by Grandma Qin, and there were many witnesses. That incident made Grandma Qin famous and reverberated through Dongcui."
Dong Huiying: "..."
Despite the serious and solemn atmosphere, Dong Huiying: "?"
Feeling inexplicably speechless, what should she do? It’s like saying, Old Lady Qin was truly formidable!
"I think we can put this doubt aside for now and consider other things first."
She considered it herself.
She and Yixuan knew the current Old Lady Qin, not the one from the past, who was young, spirited, and betrayed by her fiancé.
Perhaps people grow continuously over time. After decades, maybe the old lady’s temperament has gradually evolved to this.
"Anyway, Grandma Qin’s fiancé once liked... uh, the Third Elder."
This is so melodramatic—such things!
Dong Huiying pressed her temples, then with a look that was hard to describe, said, "Can we understand it this way? For example... back then, the fiancé was unfaithful, and Grandma Qin annihilated the fiancé’s entire family in anger. The fiancé’s affair was with the Third Elder, he fancied the Third Elder, and then... it’s possible the Third Elder also had feelings for the fiancé? That is, these two were in mutual affection, and then because of this vendetta, the Third Elder wanted to kill Grandma Qin?"
The more she spoke, the more melodramatic it seemed, making Dong Huiying sweat in embarrassment. But if things were as she speculated, it did seem quite logical.
Yixuan thought seriously for a few seconds, then said: "...It’s not mutual affection."
"Huh?"
"Grandma Qin and the Third Elder are older than that person!"
Dong Huiying: "..."
Darling, did you miss the main point?
Is the age issue important?
But...
She also thought—oh, so this chaotic and complex triangle was an older woman-younger man relationship?
...
Although so far, all of this is just Dong Huiying’s and Yixuan’s reasoning, private speculation without solid evidence. But in any case, it does provide a direction, at least better than the past situation of blindly crashing around.
"Anyway, regardless of what, let’s try to investigate her, since she does have a motive. Putting aside the fiancé’s matter, alone her opposition to Grandma Qin over the years is enough to prove she and the Second Elder are birds of a feather."
It’s not that Dong Huiying is falsely accusing the Third Elder, but because... the register Yixuan brought out recorded many things in detail, including the things the Third Elder did secretly over the years to trip up the old lady.
But no matter what action they’re considering here, there’s still one matter that needs to be resolved first.
"If this Third Elder really is bad, then I’m more interested in Grandma Qin’s thoughts. She is the Qin family’s leader, and after so many years of confrontations, those little schemes and tricks the Third Elder pulled surely couldn’t have escaped her notice."
So, why hasn’t she retaliated?
Dong Huiying thinks, if Old Lady Qin had such intentions, how could she tolerate the Third Elder jumping around here? Surely she would have gotten rid of him long ago.
Therefore, Old Lady Qin’s attitude is very important.
