Deng Xinhe plunged into silence.

This was because after the incident happened, the woman he loved had never shown up. He went to look for her only to get shut outside.

Seeing his sad expression, Qin Xi snapped her fingers. “Do you want to know why she betrayed you?”

Deng Xinhe looked at her silently with red eyes. His hands were clenched tightly, making creaking sounds.

For some reason, he suddenly felt afraid. He was afraid that he wasn’t ready to take what was going to come out of Qin Xi’s mouth.

Qin Xi did not give him a chance to say no. She continued, “Because the woman you like is the lover of your sworn enemy. From the beginning, they had been setting up a trap for you. First, they made you fall in love with her and used you to get rid of the obstacles in the family. To put it bluntly, you and the dead person are both their pawns. Their real goal is to take over your family.”

Deng Xin stood up and asked in a huff, “Is what you said true?”

“What’s in it for me to lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can investigate.” Qin Xi frowned and said with displeasure.

Deng Xinhe knew that he was too rash. He quickly lowered his voice and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Qin. I was too rash. I didn’t mean to doubt you. I just have a hard time accepting it.”

He really did not doubt Qin Xi’s ability. After all, the fact that she could tell the whole story at a glance meant that she was by no means an ordinary person. He did not want to offend someone he should not offend.

Qin Xi was not really angry. She felt that since she was regarded as a master, she had to act like one. She had to pull a long face to show her attitude sometimes. If she smiled all the time, who would find her believable?

Unfortunately, she was born with a pair of dimples on her face. Even though she pulled a long face just now, in the eyes of others, she still looked like a cute little girl.

However, Deng Xinhe did not dare to treat her lightly, because he knew that whether he could return to the capital or not depended on the will of the person in front of him.

Seeing that the situation was still salvageable, Cheng Lei cleared his throat and asked, “Miss Qin, according to what you said, there is still hope for Young Master Deng. Do you have any plans in mind?”

Qin Xi said with a smile, “Cast the same talisman on her and make her tell the truth.”

Cheng Haizhong hesitated and looked at Qin Xi expectantly. “Then this talisman…”

Qin Xi said, “To be honest, the reason I’m going to Luoping City is to buy talisman papers and cinnabar. I also wanted to see if there are any suitable artifacts.”

“How about this? I’ll go with you.”

Deng Xinhe said excitedly, “If you can help me out this time, the Deng family will definitely reward you handsomely.”

Knowing that he didn’t have to go to the jail, he relaxed. The invisible burden on his body was lifted and he felt a sense of freedom.

Zhao Dan said at the right time, “Since time is tight, let’s set out now. How about that?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xi suddenly looked over, making Zhao Dan confused.

The others also followed Qin Xi’s gaze. Yu Liman asked curiously, “Xi, what are you looking at?”

Qin Xi shook her head and said casually, “Auntie Zhao, it’s not suitable for you to drive today. It’s better if you leave tomorrow.”
