Rules Are Everthing

Although Old Master Qin was old, he had been in power for many years. He had been in charge of the Qin family's life and death for decades. Therefore, his aura was not weak at all. Instead, it was so strong that it made people tremble uncontrollably.

Shi Tao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. Only then did her body stop trembling.

"Shi Tao, I'm sure you know very well that our two families have a contract. To put it nicely, it's a collaboration. But in reality, you know very well what's going on. We let you marry into the Qin family so that you can be our daughter-in-law, we didn't let you in so that you can break the rules and embarrass the Qin family."

Shi Tao nodded and replied Old Master Qin with a pale face, "Yes, Grandpa, I understand."

Old Master Qin was right. The contract between the two families was indeed not equal in the eyes of outsiders. The news of the Shi family selling their daughter for glory was spreading like wildfire in Su City.

Although in the eyes of the Shi family, including Shi Tao, she was a treasure and a priceless treasure, in the eyes of the Qin family, she could be worth tens or hundreds of millions. She could also be worthless.

Shi Tao clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain and retorting. Although she married into the Qin family, she really did not treat herself as part of the Qin family. Her surname was Shi, and her family was in the Shi family. Her parents and younger brother loved her. She had been waiting for the family crisis to be resolved before she got divorced and went home. She knew that her family had been waiting for her to come home. So what if the Qin family's words hurt her heart? She could not control their mouths and could just ignore these hurtful words.

Old Master Qin slowly stopped lecturing her. He touched the jade ring in his hand and looked at Shi Tao who had no reaction. He didn't expect this girl to be so tolerant. It seemed that his judgment back then wasn't too bad. Although he praised Shi Tao in his heart, Old Master Qin's expression was even more serious and terrifying.

Although this girl was part of the Qin family, she had to remember the reason why she married into the Qin family. If she dared to get carried away and mess up the Qin family, he would not let her off. He disliked people who didn't follow the rules. No matter what the reason was, if they dared to break his rules, he would never let them off.

"Shi Tao, remember, in the Qin family, rules are everything."

Shi Tao raised her small smiling face and looked at Old Master Qin as usual. Then, she nodded her head in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Ha, so this the rumored benevolent family of a hundred years? But she only felt gloomy and depressed.

To think that she was still thinking about how she was going to act coquettishly today and cover up Old Master Qin's words about rushing him to give birth. It seemed like she was really thinking too much. Yesterday, he was still smiling, but now that she had entered the house, he had become a cold and distant elder.

It was no wonder that Qin Zhan, who grew up beside the Old Master, was like this. With Old Master Qin like this, it was already very good that Qin Zhan was only cold and expressionless and did not become the second serious Old Master Qin.

Shi Tao tried her best to calm himself down before speaking firmly and steadily. "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance on account that this is my first offense. I will remember your teachings and follow the rules obediently. I will become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family that you are satisfied with."

The more she spoke, the more obedient and sincere her tone became.

However, no one noticed that blood was seeping out of her tightly clenched fist and slowly drying up.
