Chapter 0015: Ostracization (1 / 2)

Her nerves instantly tensed and she subconsciously ducked behind the curtains.

“Could you be mistaken?”

Jin Qin could not get a response and turned to Qi Jiajia, “Who goes into your second brother’s room, besides himself and the servant who cleans it?”

“I really saw ……” Qi Jiajia’s gaze locked tightly on the checkroom, his eyes full of confusion, “There was indeed movement there just now, didn’t you hear it?”

In fact, she only vaguely saw a blurred back.

“It’s a family gathering today, did Second Brother sneak another outside woman back for the night?”

Jin Qin’s speculation was like a sharp blade that silently cut through the tranquility of the night and stirred a pool of spring water in Su Wanqing’s heart.

“How is this possible? In case this matter is detected by grandpa, the consequences are simply unimaginable, the old man will definitely be furious, and I’m afraid that the family will be in for a storm!”

Jin Qin quickly interrupted this heart-stopping assumption with an undeniable certainty in her tone, “You must have seen it wrong, Second Brother’s room, even Second Sister-in-Law can’t come in and out as she pleases, let alone anyone else.”

“Let’s hurry up and get out of here quietly before Second Brother realizes it’s the best plan!”

A trace of imperceptible awe flashed through Jin Qin’s eyes, for Qi Zhi Yu’s majesty, even she felt a few scruples.

“Once your second brother loses his temper, it’s a spectacle that would give even Grandpa a headache, let alone us nominal ‘family members’.”

She whispered, her tone a mixture of helplessness and worry.

At this time, Su Wanqing hid in the depths of the checkroom, holding her breath to listen to the movements outside, until the sound of the door gently closing came, she quietly relaxed and peeked out from behind the heavy curtains.

She looked around the room and eventually found a small freestanding closet in a hidden corner of the curtains.

Gently pulling open the cabinet door, only to see Qi Zhiyu’s underwear, soft robe and some personal items neatly arranged inside.

She hesitated for a moment, then picked up a robe and wrapped it tightly around her as if she were holding a precious treasure.

Gently, almost on tiptoe, she opened the door to her room, peered cautiously at the outside, and confirmed that no one was there before taking a cautious step in an attempt to leave quietly.

“Stop, don’t move!”

However, just a few steps out, Qi Jiajia appeared with Jin Qin in tow in a windy manner and blocked her path.

“Mom, look, I wasn’t wrong! Someone really did sneak into Ergo’s room!”

Qi Jiajia looked askance at Su Wanqing with a condescending look full of smugness.

“What’s that in your hand?”

Qi Jiajia’s tone was full of provocation.

Su Wanqing hugged the robe tightly and refused to let go, “Su Wanqing, it’s really unexpected that you would do such a thing!”

Qi Jiajia said while reaching out to grab the robe in Su Wanqing’s arms.

Su Wanqing firmly tugged on the robe and explained, “I didn’t steal it, it’s just an ordinary robe.”

“A robe? Then why did you need a robe to run to Ergo’s room?”

Kijiaka was clearly not convinced, and the tugging didn’t abate in the slightest.

Seeing this, Jinqin, though sympathetic, tries to mediate.

“Jiae, stop fooling around!”

Despite her words, when her gaze fell on the pajamas in Su Wanqing’s hands, a flash of complexity flashed through her eyes.

“Wanqing, if you need pajamas, just tell the maid at home, how can you just touch Young Master Qi’s belongings? Furthermore, there is a difference between men and women when it comes to pajamas, if Young Master Qi finds out about this, I’m afraid he’ll be quite annoyed.”

“Auntie Qin, these pajamas were originally what I intended to get for Young Master Qi.”

In the face of Jin Qin’s questioning, Su Wanqing had to be straightforward and try to avoid more unnecessary misunderstandings.

“For Young Master Qi to take?”

Jin Qin sniffed, and her outstretched hand jerked back as if she had been electrocuted.

Qi Jiajia’s face was filled with suspicion, the hand clutching the clothes did not relax at all, “Mom, don’t believe her, it must be her stealing! How could Second Brother let her touch something so personal?”
