"Shouldn't she have been sent away? Who knows if Old Qin was really sick."
Mrs. Su-Hua gnashed her teeth in anger, "This scheme is quite convenient, isn't it? Just collapse on the ground, and the person who was supposed to be sent away doesn't need to go. The person who did wrong doesn't need to be punished. Next time I might as well go kill someone and use this suicide ruse, and see if that county magistrate will punish me!"
"You can't say it like that."
Su Lao Si sighed, "Actually, Pan'er saw things more clearly. Old Qin and Mrs. Qin-Li, after all, are our son-in-law's adoptive parents. Even though they're in all ways disagreeable, they are still the benefactors who raised Qin Yi. Just for that reason, Pan'er should save some face for our son-in-law, shouldn't she?"
He naturally wanted to help the foolish girl, but he wanted Pan'er to have a good life even more. Since she was the one to be with their son-in-law for life, he didn't want to put Pan'er in a tough spot.
