Capítulo 998: She's A Successful Substitute

Xia Cheng knew clearly in his heart that even if Gu Zheng liked Mengyan and was not in the mood to care about Qiao Xi, there was still the Yin family. Yin Lianxin would definitely come looking for Qiao Xi.

At this moment, his expression was gloomy. He recalled the years when he was with Yin Lianxin. When he married into the Yin family, he had to listen to the Yin family's arrangements for everything. Although the Xia family was prosperous, he did not feel grateful to the Yin family. He only felt resentment. Due to the Yin family's power, he would not go against them if they came to ask for Qiao Xi. He had to find an excuse to deal with them.

Old Madam Xia's eyes were filled with resentment as she said, "There are many reasons. Why don't we say that Qiao Xi is already dead? Let's set a fire and say that Qiao Xi was burned to death. That way, we can use the excuse that she was already burned to ashes. We'll just give some ashes to them."
