Su Junhui was shocked beyond measure.
"Atone? Atone for sins?"
Su Jiang nodded, his expression tense. "This secret, even your elder brother doesn't know. Many years ago, the Su Family owed the Qin Family a great debt of gratitude. When the Qin Family came to us asking for a marriage alliance to save their faltering family, the Su Family refused, nearly severing the last bloodline of the Qin Family."
"This is also why there has always been underlying hostility between the Su and Qin families."
Su Jiang's gaze passed through the shade of the trees in the courtyard as he looked into the distance. "I once thought that in our generation we could repay this debt, and afterwards, we and the Qin Family would go our separate ways, with no more entanglements."
"Who knew, your sister just had to go missing."
