Chapter 14 This slap was still for her, Su Yan'er.
After saying that, Han Shu's tears fell even harder. Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly. Now she knows how to care about her. Where was she before?
In her previous life, she stayed at Leishan Temple for two years without anyone visiting her. Even when they went to Leishan Temple to worship Buddha, they never came to the backyard to see her. This was a hurdle that Qin Wan could never get over.
When Qin Huai said in her previous life, "I will no longer have this daughter in the Pingding Marquis's Mansion," Qin Wan felt that she was no longer a member of the Pingding Marquis's Mansion.
Their favor had been completely worn away when he was in Leishan Temple in his previous life, and could not be made up for.
She had needed them countless days and nights, but they were never there; now she no longer needed them.
Seeing Han Shu cry even more bitterly, Qin Ye's initial guilt vanished in an instant, and he roared even more fiercely, "Qin Wan, that's enough! This punishment is what you deserve. You're just unhappy, so you have to make the whole family miserable. If you were half as sensible as Yan'er, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Whether it was Qin Wan's imagination or not, when Qin Ye finished speaking, she saw a hint of smugness flash across Su Yan'er's face, as if to say: Look, you can't compare to me in anything!
In the past, Qin Wan would have definitely argued with them, but now, she disdained their approval and was too lazy to argue.
Seeing that Qin Ye was really angry, Han Shu held onto him tightly, afraid that he might do something impulsive.
"Ye'er, Wan'er is injured, please don't act rashly!"
"Mother, look at the state she's become! She always acts like the whole family owes her something. She's so domineering that she even dares to anger you. If we don't discipline her, what will she do when she marries into her husband's family?"
As he spoke, Qin Ye broke free from Han Shu's grasp and began to teach Qin Wan a lesson.
Qin Ye was unable to break free because Han Shu was holding him back, but his arrogance did not diminish, judging from Qin Wan's hostile attitude.
Qin Wan was also unconvinced and wanted to lecture her now, but it was too late. She said without giving an inch, "What I look like is none of your business. If my family members are beaten to death by my in-laws in the future, it's none of your concern. I'm tired now, so please leave my garden immediately!"
These words only enraged Qin Ye, who pointed at Qin Wan's nose and cursed, "No wonder your marriage to the Fourth Prince didn't work out. If I were the Empress, I wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like you either. It's a wonder the Fourth Prince managed to get you scar removal cream. Now I think giving you that cream is a waste!"
After saying that, Qin Ye raised his arm and smashed the scar removal cream in his hand to pieces with a 'smack'. The white lotion splattered everywhere, staining Qin Wan's skirt hem.
The loud noise made everyone tremble, and Qin Wan was also trembling with anger.
With red eyes, she glared at Qin Ye, the older brother who had once doted on her, but now he was speaking harshly to her.
Seeing this, Su Yan'er timidly stepped between the two, "Big brother, fourth sister, please don't be angry. In the end, this whole thing started because of me..."
"Shut up!" Qin Wan was furious and couldn't stand Su Yan'er's behavior. She snapped and continued, "You say this was all because of you, so why didn't you explain at the birthday banquet? Why didn't you tell me you were being pushed into this mess? Now you're pretending to be a good person here, what kind of person are you...?"
"Slap!" Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, Qin Ye raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
He was a man after all, and he didn't hold back with his slap, which made Qin Wan lose her balance and fall to the side.
Thankfully, the night cream reacted quickly and placed it underneath; otherwise, such a straight fall would definitely have caused secondary injury.
"Miss, you..." Wan Shuang's eyes were red as she helped her mistress up with great heartache. This was not her mistress's fault, so why was she hit? She felt it was unfair, but she dared not speak up, after all, she was just a maid.
Han Shu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Qin Ye to actually make a move. "What are you doing?"
Han Shu instinctively pushed Qin Wan away, then rushed forward to help her up. Seeing the obvious handprint on her face, her heart broke.
But just as Han Shu helped Qin Wan up, Qin Wan waved her hand and broke free from Han Shu's grasp.
Qin Ye was stunned, looking at his palms, which were red from the shock, and the blood seeping from Qin Wan's swollen cheeks and the corners of her mouth, which showed how much force he had used.
He didn't do it on purpose, and he didn't know why he did it.
He came to deliver scar removal cream, so why did he start hitting him?
Seeing Qin Wan refuse Han Shu's help, Qin Ye's outstretched hand gradually clenched, and his guilty conscience was once again withdrawn.
Su Yan'er was so frightened that she burst into tears. She stood there helplessly, looking pitiful.
"Wan'er, are you alright?"
Han Shu stepped forward again. How could she not feel sorry for her own daughter? However, she couldn't entirely blame Ye'er. Even now, Wan'er said that the matter was over, but she still resented Yan'er. She pushed Yan'er into the water, but she still felt that she was innocent. Even though she was punished with caning, she still felt that she had done nothing wrong.
Qin Wan pushed Han Shu away again and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
This slap shattered her illusions about her family and strengthened her resolve to leave the Marquis's mansion.
The commotion at Wanyue Courtyard was quite loud, and the sounds of the argument startled the other people in the mansion.
Qin Lang and Qin Yi entered one after the other, and saw Qin Wan shoving Han Shu.
Without saying a word, the two rushed forward and helped the heartbroken Han Shu up, shouting at Qin Wan, "Qin Wan, what kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?"
She had been slapped to the ground, and the movement was too forceful, which aggravated the wound on her buttocks. The excruciating tearing sensation made Qin Wan break out in a cold sweat. Hearing Qin Lang's reprimand, she looked up and glared angrily at him.
"What? You want to hit me?"
Despite the pain, Qin Wan's tearful eyes held a hint of stubbornness.
Qin Lang wanted to teach her a lesson, but when he saw the red and swollen marks on her face, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Why did my brother hit me so hard?
Qin Lang, who was usually stern, showed a hint of tenderness.
But Qin Yi didn't feel sorry for her. He had been holding a grudge about the love knot she gave him that day, and now he had been seen pushing his mother. It was truly despicable.
"Qin Wan, don't think we won't dare to lay a hand on you just because you're injured. Your mother cares about you so much, yet you shoved her. Don't you have any conscience at all?" Qin Yi helped Han Shu up, seemingly angrier than anyone else. "Hmph, how could I forget that you've already lost your conscience? You could give away the love knot I gave you to someone else, so what's this shoving?"
Standing on the periphery, Su Yan'er's heart trembled violently. This was a direct attack on her!
Qin Wan looked at her family members who were now on the opposite side of her. These were the family members who had once loved and cared for her, but now they treated her like an enemy.
Qin Wan thought her heart had died on that snowy night, but today's scene still caused her pain.
She did nothing wrong; she just didn't comfort her crying mother and expressed her dissatisfaction with Su Yan'er for not telling the truth. Isn't that human nature? Why did she get slapped when it came to her?
Never mind, this isn't the first time he's hit himself.
Last time it was for Su Yan'er, and this time it's still for her.
Perhaps in their hearts, they had long considered Su Yan'er to be their sister, and themselves to be an unforgivable sinner.
Qin Wan's eyes finally welled up with tears; the tears she had held back for so long finally fell.
Large tears fell, and they also fell into everyone's hearts.
Su Yan'er, who was originally on the periphery, saw this scene, squeezed in, knelt down in front of everyone, and said.
"Aunt, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth sister, please don't be angry. This is all my fault in the end. I know that fourth sister resents me. If I can make fourth sister feel better, I am willing to leave the Marquis's mansion. Please, Aunt, have mercy and allow me to leave!"
