Chapter 27 She lost everything, including her family.
Following behind Su Yan'er was Qin Lang, who also walked in.
Qin Wan seemed to understand that Su Yan'er's trip was for Qin Lang's benefit, to show her gentleness and thoughtfulness.
But her actions were truly disgusting, and Qin Wan now suspected that she was deliberately acting as a fleshy cushion for Wanxia.
Although she was lying on the ground, she had the opportunity to cover her face with her sleeve the instant the teacup fell, but she didn't. It seems she deliberately left her cheek exposed, letting the shards cut her.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan recalled all the past events. It seemed that every time she had an unpleasant encounter with Su Yan'er, someone would see it, and she would appear weak and vulnerable. Even though she didn't say anything, everyone who saw her felt that she had been wronged.
Instantly, Qin Wan got goosebumps all over her body. Looking at Su Yan'er again, she felt that this person was not as simple as she seemed.
Well, since the Marquis's family has lost all affection for me, I'll leave this chilling place once I've saved enough money and spent some time being filial to my grandmother.
As for what kind of person Su Yan'er is, and as for the future of the Marquis's mansion, it's none of my business anymore.
Qin Lang swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes landing on Qin Wan. His angry stare was mixed with disappointment. Although he didn't say anything, it was more unpleasant than if he had been scolded.
Han Shu quickly helped Su Yan'er to a chair and thoughtfully placed a soft cushion behind her.
Qin Wan knew that this was originally prepared for her by Han Shu, but after Su Yan'er arrived, she gave it to Su Yan'er without even asking if she still needed it.
Just like when Su Yan'er first entered the mansion, Han Shu said: "Yan'er's clothes are inappropriate. You can give Yan'er this pearl-embellished dress!"
That was Qin Wan's favorite dress, which took three months to make. She never wore it before Han Shu took it and gave it to Su Yan'er. This wasn't the first time this had happened.
Whenever Qin Wan refused, the response she received was: "How can you be so insensible? Yan'er's father died to save your father. This is something our Marquis's mansion owes her. Can't you just let her have it?"
Qin Wan gave in, but as she kept giving in, she ended up with nothing left, including her family!
"Uncle, Aunt, the scars on Yan'er's face were inflicted by Yan'er herself, and have nothing to do with Fourth Sister. Please don't punish Fourth Sister!" Su Yan'er said, sitting in a chair with tears in her eyes.
Qin Yi rolled his eyes at Qin Wan, but when he looked at Su Yan'er, his eyes were filled with tenderness—a tenderness that Qin Wan had never seen before.
"Yan'er, don't be afraid. We are all here to protect you. No one dares to hurt you. Don't be afraid of anyone. Just tell the truth!"
Seeing this, Han Shu gently nudged Qin Yi. Yan'er had already said it wasn't Wan'er's fault. Was this child stupid? Did he really have to make Wan'er suffer?
"Yan'er, I know you're upset. I'll apply the best ointment to the scars on your face and make sure they don't leave any marks!" Han Shu said, trying to make amends.
She felt that the matter was settled, and after giving her explanation, she concluded that it was a misunderstanding, caused by a mistake.
Since things had come to this point and the person in question didn't intend to pursue the matter further, Qin Huai also decided not to investigate any further. After all, he didn't think Qin Wan had done it intentionally, but Qin Wan's attitude was really bad, and if there was a next time, she would definitely be punished.
"Qin Wan, Yan'er was injured in your room, so you are to blame. But Yan'er is kind-hearted and will not pursue the matter. This incident is also a warning to you. If you make a similar mistake again, don't blame your father for being ruthless!"
Qin Wan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. All her explanations were worth less than a single sentence from Su Yan'er.
However, just because they don't pursue the matter doesn't mean we won't pursue it ourselves.
Qin Wan stepped forward, her face revealing Su Yan'er, a strange smile appearing on her usually indifferent face.
"Yan'er, although you were injured in my room, I didn't inflict the injury, did I?"
Su Yan'er didn't understand the meaning behind Qin Wan's question, and subconsciously looked at Qin Lang.
"Why are you looking at him? Just answer me whether it's true or not!" Qin Wan said again.
Su Yan'er became a little nervous when asked the question. After swallowing for a moment, she replied, "Yan'er's injury was caused by herself and has nothing to do with Fourth Sister!"
Su Yan'er's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of grievance, a quality Qin Wan could never learn in her entire life.
"Did you instruct the maid to shift the blame onto me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er froze, her eyes already welling up with tears. She looked at Qin Wan in disbelief, seemingly understanding the meaning behind her question.
Su Yan'er knew this was a life-or-death question. If she answered "no," she would lose Wanxia; if she answered "yes," she would be a two-faced person.
Su Yan'er bit her lip lightly, her tearful eyes filled with grievance.
"Qin Wan, Yan'er has already said she won't pursue this matter anymore. You're not only ungrateful, but you're also pressuring her like this. I think you haven't had enough of the punishment and want more!" Qin Yi's anger hadn't subsided when he rebuked her.
Qin Wan turned her head, glared at Qin Yi with cold, sharp eyes, and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Shut up!"
After issuing the warning, he looked at Su Yan'er.
"Ok?"
A soft "hmm" was uttered, not loud, but it carried a strong sense of pressure, making Su Yan'er uneasy.
But in the end, she still chose herself.
"Fourth Sister, please calm down. Yan'er never instructed the maid to shift the blame onto you. If you are angry, please blame only Yan'er and don't involve others!"
Su Yan'er truly embodied the word 'delicate' to the fullest.
Hearing the answer she wanted, Qin Wan turned to Qin Huai, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Father, you heard what Yan'er said. She said that her injury had nothing to do with me and that she never instructed the maid to shift the blame onto me. But when Wanxia came in, she directly said that I did it on purpose. I don't know how Father will deal with such a lowly maid who slanders her master?"
Suddenly, Wanxia's pupils dilated in shock. She hadn't noticed anything amiss when Qin Wan asked her earlier; it turned out she was waiting for her here.
"Please calm down, Miss. I was merely stating what I saw. I had no intention of falsely accusing you..."
"So you mean Yan'er wasn't telling the truth? She said it had nothing to do with me, but she actually resented me?" Qin Wan interrupted Wanxia.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er panicked. She hadn't done it, and even if she had, she couldn't admit it. "I didn't. This injury was my own doing, it has nothing to do with Fourth Sister, so how could I blame Fourth Sister?"
Su Yan'er's heart trembled violently. In the past, as long as she took the blame herself, others would think she was understanding. Why was she different today?
"So, Wanxia was lying. She held a grudge against me for leaving Wanyue Courtyard so soon after, and she took this opportunity to retaliate against me. This vile woman is truly insidious!"
As she spoke, Qin Wan glanced at Qin Huai and Han Shu, and continued, "I beg my parents to take charge and punish this lowly servant according to family law, and then expel her from the manor!"
