Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Pursuing Responsibility_1

Xia Qingtian was being unreasonable but Bo Jingyan had no solution to her antics.

"Alright, I’ll take you with me." In the end, he had to compromise.

Eventually, the two arrived at the mansion in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Bo was already in bed, and she was quite surprised when she saw them. "Why are you two here?"

Bo Jingyan with a stern face, directly stated his purpose, "I am here to find Shi Qian."

"Qianqian is already in bed, what do you want with her?" Mrs. Bo raised her eyebrows.

Bo Jingyan didn’t say anything, only stating, "You will know when she arrives."

Mrs. Bo didn’t press further and called a servant to get Shi Qian.

Soon, Shi Qian arrived.

Her eyes were somewhat swollen and red, she appeared extremely exhausted. Upon seeing Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan, she timidly said, "Mr. Bo, Sister Qingtian."

"What do you want with Qianqian? You can say it now." Mrs. Bo then said.

Xia Qingtian immediately took out the lab report of the soup ingredients. "This is the lab report of the soup that Shi Qian gave Jingyan today. It has significant aphrodisiac effects."

Then, she cast a sharp gaze towards Shi Qian, "Shi Qian, can you still claim you’ve done nothing?"

"I, I really didn’t do anything." Shi Qian shook her head, her eyes slightly red as she denied it.

"The lab report of the soup ingredients is already here, are you still going to dispute it?" Xia Qingtian questioned sternly.

"What kind of lab report? Let me see it." Mrs. Bo timely extended her hand to Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian handed the lab report to Mrs. Bo.

With such definitive evidence, even if Shi Qian saved her, she shouldn’t show bias, right?

Mrs. Bo calmly read the report, placed it on the table beside her, and calmly said, "I made the soup and asked Qianqian to deliver it to Jingyan. Is there a problem?"

Xia Qingtian stared at her in disbelief, "Mom, I just told you the soup has strong aphrodisiac effects."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bo subconsciously glanced at Shi Qian.

Shi Qian immediately lowered her head in terror, not daring to meet her gaze.

Mrs. Bo withdrew her gaze and calmly stated, "I know."

Xia Qingtian didn’t miss the subtle exchange between Shi Qian and Mrs. Bo.

The expressions in her eyes rapidly evolved into deep thought, she frowned and asked, "Mom, why would you have Qianqian deliver it if you knew the soup was an aphrodisiac? And why would you want Jingyan to drink it?"

"Because I like Qianqian. She and her mother saved my life, so I want her to be my daughter-in-law. Is that reason enough?" Mrs. Bo retorted.

Hearing such an absurd statement, Xia Qingtian was at a loss for words.

On the other hand, Bo Jingyan pulled Xia Qingtian to his side and tightly held her hand.

"Mom, don’t be ridiculous." He sternly addressed Mrs. Bo, "Qingtian is the granddaughter-in-law grandfather chose. The position of Mrs. Bo can only be taken by her. Nobody can change this."

Seeing his cold expression, Mrs. Bo frowned and asked somewhat unhappily, "Not even me?"

She asked this question hoping for affirmation that she held a special place in her son’s heart.

But Bo Jingyan ignored her and continued, "That’s correct!"

Mrs. Bo’s complexion turned even more sullen as she coldly said, "You two came here in the middle of the night just to inquire about this soup."

"Now you know, This soup has nothing to do with Qianqian. I made it and asked her to deliver it. She knew nothing about it. What are you planning to do about me? Are you going to hold me accountable?"

She is their elder, and before Mr. Bo passed away, he explicitly instructed them to take good care of her and tolerate her.

Therefore, they really couldn’t do anything about her.

When they both remained silent, Mrs. Bo understood their attitude.

She snappily said, "What, you’re speechless? Have you not come to a decision? Then come back when you have."

Then, she ordered, "Yingjie, see them out."

Just like that, Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan were escorted out of the mansion.

On the way back home from the mansion, Xia Qingtian thought of the look Mrs. Bo gave Shi Qian upon finding out the soup had aphrodisiac effects and sighed.

She asked Bo Jingyan with a hint of suspicion, "Do you think, did mom really make that soup?"

"No!" Bo Jingyan firmly said. "Regardless of whether she likes you or wants Shi Qian to be her daughter-in-law, she wouldn’t use such a disgraceful method."

Xia Qingtian agreed, "I don’t know much about mom, but when she said Qianqian was innocent, it was clearly a cover-up."

She continued to analyze seriously, "If Shi Qian truly didn’t know anything, why would she quickly want to get rid of the soup pot? Shi Qian and her mother saved mom’s life. It’s certain that mom wants to protect them."

"Yeah." Bo Jingyan agreed, apparently accepting her explanation.

Xia Qingtian sighed somewhat helplessly, "What can we do even if we know that? Mother is so hell-bent on protecting her, we can’t do anything about it."

Bo Jingyan drew her into his arms and reassured her in a deep, sensual voice, "Since she committed a mistake, she needs to face the consequences. Leave this matter to me."

Upon hearing that, Xia Qingtian was well aware he already had a plan in mind.

She couldn’t help but curiously ask, "What are you planning to do?"

"You’ll know eventually." Bo Jingyan did not disclose more.

Xia Qingtian knew it was useless to ask further if he didn’t want to say, she didn’t bother to waste her breath.

She had been thoroughly exhausted by Bo Jingyan today.

As she relaxed against his chest, inhaling his intense masculine scent, she found a measure of peace. Overwhelmed by fatigue, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

...

Meanwhile.

The mansion.

As soon as Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian left, Mrs. Bo looked deeply at Shi Qian by her side, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

"Qianqian, what exactly happened? Explain it to me." She said sternly.

The production team had finished early today, and Shi Qian brought back a large quantity of groceries. She said that Xia Qingtian was in the hospital these days, and Bo Jingyan was working hard, losing a significant amount of weight.

So, she wanted to cook some soup as Mrs. Bo, and send it to Bo Jingyan to improve their mother-son relationship.

Moved by Shi Qian’s careful considerations, Mrs. Bo didn’t object.

She didn’t expect that when she came back, Shi Qian’s face was bearing a handprint, begging her for help.
