Chapter 222 What a Daughter from the Family of Generals!
Qin Huaiyong was a military officer, which was different from the other civil officials in the study. Behind him was a sword hanging on the wall.
As Qin Wanru pa.s.sed the wall just now, she took it down, and put it right on the neck of the man. Feeling the chill on his neck as well as the glistening cold light from the blade, the man stood there with his whole body stiff.
“Father, this guy must have been incited by someone. He deliberately entered our mansion with the excuse of the lost hair clasp of Big Sister so that he could a.s.sa.s.sinate you. If you kill him by mistake, it doesn’t count for much.” Qin Wanru looked back with a smile, her face was so beautiful, like blooming flowers. In striking contrast, Qin Yuru was blue in the face and could do nothing about it.
Qin Huaiyong knew her plans, so he nodded. “He is just a n.o.body, father can kill him as easy as rolling off a log.”
“Father, killing him is not enough, you can also choose to execute his whole clan. Although he looks like he is alone, he must be from a particular clan. Certainly, you have another choice, like digging up the tombs of those in his family that have pa.s.sed away and grinding their bones to dust.” Qin Wanru smiled softer than before. She even glanced at that man.
Seeing her glance, the man felt like his heart was grabbed by a weird hand. Her beautiful face meant nothing but deep terror and panic in his eyes. He couldn’t help trembling with fear.
Indeed, he had lost both his parents, now muddling along as a hooligan, but his aunt was alive. She worked hard to bring him up, and he took his aunt as his dearest mother.
“Mi… Miss…”
“Now you have something to say, but it’s too late!” Qin Wanru interrupted him. Her hands moved the sword slightly hard. Then the man felt some chills on his neck and immediately shouted in a panic, “Miss, Miss, I will confess, I will confess all of them. It was someone who sent me to frame the First Miss.”
“But I have no patience to hear it. Your life, along with the lives of your whole clan and your parents’ bones, will not be settled in their graves. Isn’t it better? Just for the sake of a little money, how dare you do this!” Qin Wanru said with pity. Then she moved her eyes down to the point of the blade. It was so sharp that his neck was cut open by only a slight move, and the blood streamed down.
Di Yan couldn’t help stepping back with a pale face. He couldn’t believe that this girl before his eyes was really Qin Wanru, who always looked tender, lovely, and beautiful in former times.
Recently, Di Yan always liked to watch Qin Wanru as soon as he got the chance.
Slowly growing up to be somewhat full-blown, Qin Wanru was no longer an ordinary girl. Everyone could imagine how beautiful she would be in the future.
However, it was this girl who calmly held a sharp sword, blood streaming from its point. Her face was weird and cold.
Di Yan didn’t dare to think about this beautiful girl. He hurried to lower his head, in the hope of covering the panic in his eyes.
He had met many girls before, some of them were beautiful, tender, lovely, and some were vixens, but he had never met such a girl who smiled so beautifully while acting so cruel as well.
Even though he still had some love for her, it has all gone at the moment.
“Second Miss, Second Miss, it was the people of Ning’s Mansion who sent me to do this. It had nothing to do with me. The hair clasp was also given to me by the people of Ning’s Mansion. The supervisor thought I didn’t know his tricks, but I had my men in this region who followed him to enter Ning’s Mansion, and after that, the supervisor entered Ning’s Mansion several times.”
With a sword on his neck, in addition to Qin Wanru’s previous words, the man trembled all over. He was afraid that Qin Wanru couldn’t control herself and would kill him, so he hurried to confess everything that he knew.
At this point, he dared not hide anything. The reason why he followed that supervisor was that he was curious about the man who gave the mission. Being a hooligan, he had to be really prudent in order to stay alive.
When he found that the supervisor was from Ning’s Mansion, the man didn’t get to him immediately. He planned to blackmail the supervisor with this information after the business about Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion was done. Then he could get money from both sides.
But at this moment, his life was almost taken by others, so he could no longer dare to hide anything. In fact, he answered whatever others’ asked. Even if it was something that Qin Wanru didn’t ask, he confessed all of them so as not to p.i.s.s the girl off and have her kill him.
The reason that Qin Wanru advised to kill him was totally right. He intended to kill an official appointed by the imperial court. It was normal for him to be killed on the spot, and then his whole clan would be executed.
“Ning’s Mansion? Which Ning’s Mansion? The Ning’s Mansion that Ning Caixian belongs to?” Suddenly, Qin Yuru got it. She immediately rushed at the man, shouted, and grabbed his collar.
Qin Wanru moved the sword away from the man’s neck. Qin Yuru rushed forward recklessly as if she would push the man onto the blade of the sword. Just now, Qin Yuru intended to frighten the man instead of killing him. If the man was really dead in the Qin’s Mansion, it would not be easy for them to deal with it.
Of course, if that thing did happen and the man was killed on the spot, it would have nothing to do with Qin Yuru, as it was Qin Wanru who held the sword. At this moment, Qin Yuru intended to frame her sister. Qin Wanru glanced at Qin Yuru’s face with a cold smile.
Certainly, she didn’t do this for Qin Yuru. If they were to fight each other, Duke Yong’s Mansion would be busy enough with their own business, let alone the business of Qin’s Mansion.
And now, Duke Xing’s Mansion waited for the benefit at the side. She should kill the underlings from Duke Xing’s Mansion first.
She took two steps back and turned around, moving forward Qin Huaiyong. Then she handed over the sword to Qin Huaiyong respectfully and stood behind him quietly.
Qin Huaiyong looked at the tip of the sword. There was still blood on it. Then he looked up to see Qin Yuru, who seemed to have the upper hand for now. He felt so disappointed.
“Why? Why isn’t Qin Wanru my daughter? Why can’t my own daughter be like her?
“Qin Wanru is really a daughter from the family of generals. What Qin Yuru has done is not only meaningless, but also makes things more complicated.
“If Yuru could be as smart as Wanru, I wouldn’t be so tired. Or if Wanru was really my daughter, it would be so great!”
“Yeah, you are right. It is the Ning’s Mansion with a bad reputation. I heard that the First Miss from Ning’s Mansion kept an unknown relations.h.i.+p with an heir of a duke. Besides, the Second Miss had previously had an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with a childe from an aristocratic family.”
At this moment, the man would confess anything he knew. He was worried that Qin Yuru didn’t understand, so he explained that much.
Di Yan was standing aside. His face was terribly blue. Certainly, he knew which one the Ning’s Mansion was. For a moment, he was ashamed and angry.
He only felt that he had totally lost face because of Ning Caixian and Qin Yuru.
“Father, I am going to take my men to break down that b.i.t.c.h’s mansion and rip her mouth to pieces. I am sure she won’t dare do that again!” Qin Yuru turned back to Qin Huaiyong and shouted. Before, she had always been suppressed, but now she figured all of this out finally, how could she let her off? She stared fiercely at Di Yan, as she never forgot that it had something to do with him.
“Father, why not notify the local government and arrest Miss Ning. She framed the families of officers, which could be a crime.” Qin Wanru added these words slowly.
“Uncle, please wait a minute!” Di Yan was afraid he really did this, so he was so worried.
“Wait for what? Wait for what? Maybe you have some relations.h.i.+p with her?” Qin Yuru was crazy. How suppressed she felt before was how angry she would be now. She turned back and stared at Di Yan with clenched teeth. Totally regardless of there being so many people in the room, she growled at Di Yan loudly.
“Qin Yuru, what’s wrong with you? It has nothing to do with me!” Di Yan became agitated as well.
“If it has nothing to do with you, then why did she come here to you and send others to ruin my reputation? You need to say it clearly, whether you still kept meeting with her or not? Di Yan, you must remember that it is me who is engaged to you!” Qin Yuru said with hatred. All those feelings that had been kept in the bottom of her heart had now come out in one blow.
She had kept some words so long and she had to speak them out today.
“Qin Yuru, what did you say? Do you know what you are talking about?” Di Yan felt he had totally lost face. For a second, he felt guilty and angry. So he shouted in a louder voice.
“Di Yan, maybe you never loved me and you didn’t want to be engaged to me, is that right? Previously, you kept this engagement delayed until the deadline. Now I know it is because of that women. Well, well, in a moment, I will go to break down Ning’s Mansion. I will pull that woman into the street and let people know how this b.i.t.c.h tempted you!”
She found that instead of comforting her, Di Yan even shouted at her. All Qin Yuru felt was angry and aggrieved. If it had not been for the delay of Duke Yong’s Mansion, she would never have been engaged to Qi Tianyu, let alone the business of framing Qin Wanru afterward. Also, her reputation would not have been ruined in Jiangzhou so that people all around that place laughed at her.
She had done so much for Di Yan, but he didn’t felt grateful to her, and had an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with another woman. Even that woman planned to ruin her reputation.
Now she had all that hatred in her heart and mind.
Qin Yuru was so angry that her eyes turned red. She approached Di Yan and grabbed his sleeves, hoping that he would explain all these things to her.
Her words aroused Madam Di’s sympathy, and she stared at Di Yan coldly as well.
Di Yan shook his sleeves violently, and gave a salute to Qin Huaiyong with a blue face. Then he turned away. He thought that Qin Yuru was somehow insane.
Seeing him go off in a huff, Madam Di became more angry. Previously, she was in doubt about it, but now she was sure about it. Before, Di Yan respected his aunt so much that he would bow to her, but now, he just went away regardless of her. It had to be Madam s.h.i.+ who taught him.
What she had seen in this room must have been instigated by Madam s.h.i.+. How dare that b.i.t.c.h ruin Yuru’s reputation!
“General, I hope you can solve this problem for Yuru.” Madam Di cried with her sleeves over her face, covering the hatred in her eyes.
“All right, all of you, stop crying. Someone come here and take this man out to the prison.” Looking at the mess in the study, Qin Huaiyong frowned and gave the order loudly.
Frightened by his stern voice, both Madam Di and Qin Yuru couldn’t help stop their crying, though their eyes were still red.
Two guards came in, and regardless of his struggling, hit him on the head and knocked him out. Then they dragged him out like a dead dog.
“Childe, childe, this is not for you! Ah, childe…” Just as the man had been cleared out, suddenly someone shouted loudly outside of the room and Qin Yuru’s face changed greatly. Then she seemed to think of something and hurried to run out.
