After Song Qi said many words, his gaze shifted to Tang Yan, tentatively saying, "So perhaps you should just leave this matter alone, since the person is already dead. Offering more compensation to the family should settle it. Nobody wants to know the truth, and it would be better for both you and the Tang Family."
Given Song Qi's personality, under normal circumstances, he would never speak so weakly or suggest that Tang Yan should pacify the situation. However, the person involved was He Shoucheng, the overlord of Ningjiang.
It wasn't just Tang Yan; even the former Tang Jingli had to step back in deference to him; otherwise, what would Tang Ningya use to contend with Tang Yan?
Indeed, He Shoucheng didn't want to break completely with the Tang Family. The two sides were equally matched and neither wanted to touch the other, fearing that both would end up injured. But this time, if Tang Yan was going to act against his son-in-law, He had no reason to hold back.
