Chapter 104 Mother doesn't want to see me and the Fifth Prince 'fall apart', does she
Nianqi was a maid personally trained by Xiao Jingyan, and her personality was just like her master's, fearless of the powerful and wealthy.
Nianqi shielded Qin Wan behind her, just as Han Shu had shielded Su Yan'er earlier, protecting Qin Wan completely.
"What the Lady of the Marquis says is quite right. Since I am in the Marquis's residence, I will follow the rules of the Marquis's residence. However, before that, you must first respect Miss, otherwise these rules are nothing but bullshit to me!"
Vulgar, absolutely vulgar!
Han Shu was so angry that her liver trembled. Her hand, which was pointing at Nian Qi, kept shaking. She was the dignified Lady of Pingding Marquis, yet she was contradicted by a maid. How could she face people if word got out?
"Qin Wan, are you just going to stand by and watch this lowly servant disobey your mother like this?" Knowing she couldn't win against Nian Qi, Han Shu turned her anger towards Qin Wan.
As Nianqi just said, only Xiao Jingyan and Qin Wan can deal with her. This lowly servant's audacity is all due to Qin Wan's indulgence.
If Qin Wan had disciplined them from the beginning, this situation would not have occurred.
Ultimately, it was all Qin Wan's tacit approval.
The more Han Shu thought about it, the angrier she became. Her daughter watched her bully her without doing anything about it. What use was this daughter to her?
Qin Wan suppressed her inner elation. After all, it was Nianqi's first day at the Marquis's residence, so it was best not to be too arrogant.
He then said, "Nianqi, you mustn't be rude! Go outside and stand as punishment!"
"Yes!"
After agreeing, Nianqi went out, giving Su Yan'er a warning look as she passed by.
Han Shu waited for a long time, but Qin Wan didn't say another word.
So... all I get is to stand as punishment?
This lowly maidservant defied and assaulted her master, yet she was only punished by being made to stand?
Han Shu knew that this was Qin Wan's perfunctory response, and she could no longer suppress her anger. It seemed to be the first time she had ever been angry with Qin Wan.
"Qin Wan, she talked back to me like that, and all she gets is punishment like standing in the corner? She..."
However, before Han Shu could finish speaking, Qin Wan added, "Mother, you heard it too. She is the Fifth Prince's person. Although she said I could punish her, she is not my person after all. If I really punish her, wouldn't that be slapping the Fifth Prince in the face?"
"The Fifth Prince and I have already been betrothed, and the wedding date is fast approaching. If the Fifth Prince finds out that I have touched her man, he will definitely be angry with me. Mother, you wouldn't just stand by and watch us fall apart before we are even married!"
Qin Wan's words left Han Shu speechless. How should she respond?
If she says "yes," then it truly is her mother deliberately making things difficult for her daughter.
If she said "no," then she could only let that lowly maid bully her and could not punish her.
"you......"
Han Shu became increasingly angry, and she fainted from a sudden outburst.
Seeing Han Shu faint on the maid's body, Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly. Her first reaction was not worry, but that they would definitely make a big deal out of this and cause her trouble. She thought she would have to lock up this Wanyue Courtyard from now on.
Qin Wan didn't want Han Shu to stay in Wanyue Courtyard, so she had someone send her back to Shumei Courtyard.
She used to love and worry about her mother, but not anymore.
My mother gave her love to others, but only hated me. Since she hated me, why should I go out of my way to be hated?
Wanyue Courtyard returned to peace, but Qin Wan knew that this peace was only temporary.
Once Qin Yi and Qin Huai find out about this, they certainly won't let me off easily.
Nianqi looked at Qin Wan's worried face and stepped forward hesitantly.
“Miss, His Highness instructed me to protect you. I cannot tolerate their slander of you, and I am not the type to tolerate such behavior. It was my fault that the Lady of the Marquis fainted. If they come to us, I will confess on my own, and it will have nothing to do with you!”
Nianqi spoke her mind righteously. In just one day, she saw through Qin Wan's situation in the Marquis's mansion and knew she would not implicate Qin Wan.
Qin Wan shook her head and said, "This matter is not your fault. Since you are someone given to me by the Fifth Prince, I will protect your safety and will not let you perish in the Marquis's mansion!"
Nianqi paused for a moment, a surge of emotion welling up inside her.
Wan Shuang, on the other hand, looked worried. She had witnessed the Third Young Master's viciousness and was afraid that he would really kill the young lady.
Just as she was getting worried, a sound came from outside the gate of Wanyue Courtyard.
She thought it was them who had come looking for her, but to her surprise, the maidservant reported that it was the old lady who had arrived.
Qin Wan didn't dare to delay and went to the door to greet them personally.
"Grandmother, what brings you here?" Qin Wan took the old lady's arm and led her into the room.
After carefully examining Qin Wan and confirming that she was not injured, Madam Qin was relieved.
"I've heard about what happened earlier. While you bear some responsibility, your mother was wrong!"
Qin Wan lowered her eyes and did not respond.
When she was hurt by the Qin family, they used the excuse of not wanting her grandmother to worry to block the news and prevent her grandmother from knowing.
Han Shu fainted from anger, but the news spread to Jingxin Courtyard immediately, even faster than Qin Huai and Qin Yi.
How ironic their thoughts seemed at that moment.
Upon entering the room, Madam Qin saw the maid Nianqi mentioned in the report. At a glance, she could tell that Nianqi was different from ordinary maids. She exuded arrogance and was not someone to be trifled with.
Madam Qin was somewhat worried about whether her frail granddaughter could be managed.
"Are you Nianqi?" Old Madam Qin asked.
Nianqi knew that Old Madam Qin was the person Qin Wan respected most, so she stepped forward, knelt down, and replied.
"Nianqi greets the Old Madam!"
"Are you working for the Fifth Prince?"
"Yes, His Highness has ordered me to protect the young lady!"
"What kind of protection method is this?"
"If anyone harms Miss, I will fight back; if anyone insults Miss, I will insult back; if I can't win an argument, I will fight. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I am not afraid of losing a fight!"
Madam Qin smiled; she greatly admired such a straightforward maid.
"Very good. From now on, you must protect Wan'er well and not let anyone bully her!"
"I understand, this is my duty!"
Qin Wan thought her grandmother was going to say something about Han Shu, but she didn't expect her grandmother to just come to test Nian Qi.
"Get up!"
"Yes!"
Nianqi stepped aside. Just as she knew, it seemed that only the old lady truly cared about the young lady in the entire Marquis's mansion.
Qin Wan knelt down beside Old Madam Qin's knees. The words she had just heard made her eyes redden and her nose sting.
"Grandmother, you don't blame Wan'er?"
Old Madam Qin was too worried to possibly blame her.
"Naturally strange!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's heart trembled. Then she heard Old Madam Qin say, "It's your fault for not telling me. My health has been improving recently, and I've been hearing things from the past in the mansion. That's when I realized how much you've suffered. Why didn't you tell your grandmother?"
Old Madam Qin's reproachful tone was full of heartache. Her beloved granddaughter, who used to be so lively, cheerful, and lovable, was now forced by them to hide in the courtyard all day and not communicate with others.
"Qin Wan, come out here and hand over that wretched maid you brought back!"
Qin Yi's shout from outside the door interrupted this loving scene between grandfather and grandson, and the clamoring voice grew closer and closer.
Old Madam Qin gently stroked Qin Wan's head, then stood up. Now that she was here, could she really let them bully her?
