Chapter 95 If you're worried about Qin Lang, go and keep him company!
Qin Huai rolled his eyes at Xiao Jingyan, his eyes showing no respect whatsoever. If this marriage hadn't been bestowed by His Majesty, he would never have allowed Wan'er to marry him.
Qin Huai looked down on Xiao Jingyan from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the many affairs at the Marquis's residence during this period, which required him to discipline Wan'er, he wouldn't have allowed her to meet with him in private.
"Just send her to the main gate of the Marquis's mansion, why did you send her to my daughter's boudoir?" Qin Huai's tone was cold and stern.
Xiao Jingyan paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"My lord, Wan'er is my fiancée. Is there anything wrong with me sending her to her boudoir?" Xiao Jingyan's question left Qin Huai speechless.
"That's inappropriate. What kind of behavior is it for a lone man and woman to be alone in a room?"
"Then I'll leave?" Xiao Jingyan looked innocent and pointed towards the door.
Qin Huai: "......"
What do you mean?
Does he intend to stay here overnight if he doesn't leave?
"Then I won't keep Your Highness any longer!" Qin Huai said, dismissing the guest immediately.
Xiao Jingyan's lips twitched. He thought there would be a few more rounds, but he didn't expect that the guest would be asked to leave directly.
Even a fool could understand what that meant.
However, he is currently mentally challenged, so it's normal that he doesn't understand.
'Coo coo~~'
Before Xiao Jingyan could speak, her stomach began to protest. Xiao Jingyan clutched her stomach and moved closer to Qin Huaidao.
"My lord, I am your son-in-law after all. Tonight, Wan'er and I were going to Guangdelou to eat roast duck, but something went wrong on the way."
"Wan'er and I haven't eaten yet, and our stomachs are growling with hunger. I wonder if Your Excellency could possibly treat us to a meal?"
Xiao Jingyan looked at Qin Huai with such pitiful eyes that he couldn't refuse. Even though he was angry, he wouldn't argue with a fool.
Sitting on the bed, Qin Wan chuckled to herself. "Truly, I have no shame, so what can you do to me?"
Qin Huai was stunned. Xiao Jingyan's unpredictable behavior left him at a loss.
So they had no choice but to have their servants arrange a dinner.
But when Xiao Jingyan left, he took Qin Huai with him and asked Qin Huai to dine with him.
Qin Wan understood that he was trying to get her out of a tight spot.
Qin Huai was, after all, her father of seventeen years. The moment he walked in, she knew he was there to interrogate her.
Undoubtedly, they had heard the rumors circulating outside.
Xiao Jingyan's sudden intervention and her departure saved her the trouble of dealing with them tonight.
As expected, Qin Huai accompanied Xiao Jingyan through the meal, which lasted until late into the night.
Xiao Jingyan ate very slowly. Qin Huai wanted to leave at one point, but Xiao Jingyan wouldn't let him go and even used the Emperor Xiao to pressure him. Helpless, Qin Huai had no choice but to stay with him.
Qin Huai's face was full of annoyance, but Xiao Jingyan pretended not to notice.
He even asked Qin Huai to peel shrimp and remove fish bones for him.
Qin Huai refused, so he used Emperor Xiao to pressure him. Qin Huai had no choice but to listen obediently, since he was a prince.
After finally seeing Xiao Jingyan off, Qin Huai still wanted to find Qin Wan to ask her some questions, but it was already late at night and Qin Wan had long since gone to sleep.
Seeing that the gates of Wanyue Courtyard were tightly closed, he had no choice but to leave, cursing Xiao Jingyan as he went.
The next morning.
What's meant to happen will happen.
Just as Qin Wan got up, Qin Ye and Han Shu came to the door.
After a night's rest, Qin Wan had completely recovered from the poison and had plenty of energy.
When they came in, Qin Wan was putting on her makeup in front of the mirror. Han Shu kept telling herself not to be angry, but the moment she saw Qin Wan, she could no longer suppress her anger.
"Wan'er, how do you explain what happened last night?" Han Shu asked.
With a single glance from Qin Ye, all the servants in the room withdrew.
Chun Tao was combing Qin Wan's hair, and suddenly she didn't know whether she should leave or not.
Seeing that she didn't move, Qin Ye glared at her angrily, which frightened Chun Tao so much that she left the room without lingering.
Since no one was going to comb her hair, Qin Wan combed it herself without even looking at them.
Han Shu waited for a while, but Qin Wan still didn't respond. She took two steps forward and asked again, "How do you explain what happened last night?"
Qin Wan looked at Han Shu in the mirror and asked, "How do you want me to explain this?"
These words infuriated Han Shu. That night, she went to Qin Wan and begged her to save Qin Lang, but Qin Wan refused.
Lang'er was her own brother, and she watched helplessly as he was in danger without offering any help.
If she had gone to see the Fourth Prince that night, Lang'er wouldn't have needed to go. But she refused to help him in his time of need. If that's the case, then she wouldn't have said anything.
But now she's orchestrating her own attempt to seduce the fourth prince; she never imagined her daughter would be so cunning.
"Lang'er created an opportunity for you to be with the Fourth Prince... (Xing Huan), but you threw it at the Fourth Prince instead, causing Lang'er to be sent to Yunzhou to suppress bandits. If you really didn't want to, then so be it."
"But last night you staged a kidnapping scheme to lure the Fourth Prince into your trap, and then threw yourself into his arms. You clearly still love the Fourth Prince, yet you refused to save Lang'er. Don't you need to explain this?"
Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Han Shu through the mirror. She could feel Han Shu's anger.
She glanced at Qin Ye beside her and saw that he was also staring at her with a puzzled look in his eyes, so she knew that they all thought the same way about her.
Qin Wan placed the comb on the dressing table, her loose black hair hanging down her back, her thick and long eyelashes casting shadows in her eyes.
The moment he stood up and looked at Han Shu, his expression was unfathomably profound.
"Were you there at the time?" Qin Wan's question stunned the two of them.
"How do you know I did it on purpose if you weren't there? I was kidnapped, and your first reaction wasn't to show concern, but to blame me for not saving Qin Lang!"
Qin Wan looked directly into Han Shu's eyes, and the pressure in her gaze made Han Shu feel somewhat afraid.
"Why should I save him? He tied me up, drugged me, and sent me to someone else's bed. I could tear him to pieces and still not be satisfied. Why should I save him?"
Instead of questioning me here, you should kneel before the Buddha and pray that Qin Lang will return safely and not die out there!
"you......"
Han Shu was so angry at Qin Wan's words that she could hardly breathe.
Qin Ye hurriedly went to help Han Shu, who was almost unable to stand, and glared at Qin Wan.
"Qin Wan, how dare you speak to your mother like that? Your second brother is your own brother. Even if he did something wrong, you can't curse him... (to die)!"
Qin Wan didn't want to curse him to die; she genuinely wanted to see him never come back.
"What? Since you're worried about Qin Lang, why don't you ask His Majesty for permission to go to Yunzhou with him? Are you afraid?"
Qin Ye's breath caught in his throat, a hint of panic flashing beneath his angry expression.
The banditry in Yunzhou was so severe that even the seasoned general Sima could not eradicate it. How could a prince with little military experience possibly manage to do so?
When he heard His Majesty order Qin Lang to suppress the bandits, he felt a moment of relief, relieved that the person His Majesty was referring to was not him.
He is currently at the peak of his career, and as long as he remains stable and nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit the title and gain control of the government.
Therefore, he was unwilling to do anything without certainty, and even if his family was in front of him, he would not take the risk.
He thought he had hidden it well, but Qin Wan saw through his thoughts.
