After severing all ties with family and friends, the villain's entire family was filled with re

Chapter 19 Her countless words couldn't compare to her single sentence

Mentioning Qin Wan, the three women showed different emotions. Su Yan'er lowered her head. The person in front of her was the current Fifth Prince. She was just someone fostered in the Marquis's mansion. She wasn't even a Miss Marquis's daughter. What right did she have to speak to the prince?

However, things would be different if she became the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion.

Thinking of this, Su Yan'er's desire to marry Qin Lang became even stronger.

Qin Yi was about to speak, but Qin Ye interrupted him, "Your Highness, my younger sister was flogged and her injuries have not yet healed, so she cannot sit down and will be unable to perform today."

"Oh, it's still not healed? This caning has been going on for over ten days. Logically, it should be healed by now with the wound medicine!" Xiao Jingyan turned slightly, his brow furrowed. "Perhaps it's because a woman's body is more delicate than a man's. But perhaps with proper care, it won't leave a scar!"

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Fifth Prince!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Qin Ye felt as if a huge stone was blocking his heart. He had smashed the scar removal cream that the Fourth Prince had obtained for Wan'er. What if Wan'er was left with a scar because of this?

If only I hadn't been so impulsive, if only I could have calmed down a bit.

Qin Ye thought of Qin Wan's torn wound from earlier that day, and his heart ached. Hadn't his second brother sent Wan'er some wound medicine? Why wasn't her injury healed yet? The wound medicine used in this military camp was the best.

Qin Ye had some doubts. Could it be that there was something wrong with the wound medicine, or that she simply didn't use it because she was angry?

"Eh...ya..."

The moment the sound was tested, the crowd below cheered. This was the opera that everyone had been eagerly anticipating. As the props were brought onto the stage, the atmosphere gradually rose.

Xiao Jingyan stopped talking, raised his hand to indicate that watching the show was the priority.

Qin Ye returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Upon hearing the sound, the people in each private room came out and sat on their respective balconies.

It is the dead of winter, and the Lunar New Year is approaching. To be fitting, today's opera tells the story of a general on the frontier who bravely fights the enemy in order to return home before the New Year.

Qin Ye looked down and saw that almost all the people who came to listen to the opera were families. This reminded him that whenever there was a big event in the capital, Qin Wan would always be the first to go. If there was something she was too afraid to go, she would drag him along to support her and then join in.

In the past, she would have definitely come to listen to this play today, but she did not.

The cheers from the audience contrasted sharply with the quietness of the private room. What should have been a joyful day was marred by the presence of a few people.

Su Yan'er sat opposite them, looking at the empty seat next to her. This seat originally belonged to Qin Lang, but he stopped coming after leaving his fourth sister's place.

Su Yan'er couldn't quite describe her feelings, only that she felt wronged. "Big brother, third brother, today's events are all my fault. If it weren't for me, fourth sister wouldn't be angry, and she wouldn't have refused to come to Fanlou to listen to the opera!"

"Yan'er, this matter is Qin Wan's fault for being ungrateful. What does it have to do with you? Besides, what happened today was entirely her fault. If she hadn't said those things, my brother wouldn't have hit her. In my opinion, he didn't hit her hard enough!" Qin Yi said through gritted teeth.

The thought of Qin Wan giving away the love knot he had given her that day made him angry. He waited for several days for Qin Wan to give him an explanation, but he never received one.

Su Yan'er raised her eyes to look at Qin Ye, who was hiding opposite her. Seeing that he was silent, she didn't say anything more.

The opera performance was stunning and moving, but they didn't listen to it at all. By the time they returned to their residence, it was already past midnight.

"Brother, I'll take Yan'er back!" Qin Yi was very gentlemanly and personally escorted Su Yan'er to the west wing. He thought that if Qin Wan were half as gentle as her, that would be great.

Qin Ye walked towards his courtyard. As he passed the pharmacy, he saw a figure fly by. He assumed that a thief had entered the mansion, so he took the opportunity to chase after him.

Qin Ye was very skilled in light footwork and captured the thief in one go.

With a cry of "Ah~~~", the voice was so familiar that Qin Ye looked closely and realized it was Qin Lang, who hadn't gone to Fanlou to watch the opera.

"Second brother?" Qin Ye released his grip on Qin Lang's arm and asked, "What are you doing sneaking around here so late?"

Qin Lang felt as if Qin Ye's sudden grab had crippled his arm, causing him to grimace in pain. "Big brother, are you trying to kill me? Besides, what did I do suspiciously? I just came out of the pharmacy and you caught me!"

Qin Lang rubbed his arm, thinking to himself: "Oh no, this injury will definitely take several days to heal."

Qin Ye gave an awkward smile and asked again, "What were you doing at the pharmacy? I asked you to find Wan'er to go to Fanlou to watch the opera today, why did you let Yan'er go by herself? What did Wan'er say to you?"

Qin Lang pulled Qin Ye aside, and the two of them leaned against a wall, one on each side.

"You hit her a little too hard. Wan'er's face is still swollen, so she can't go to the opera!"

Qin Ye froze, a sense of shame welling up inside him. He didn't want to do it; if she hadn't looked like that, he wouldn't have made a move.

Qin Lang continued, "Wanshuang said that the wound medicine I sent before was fake, so I'm still investigating. How did this perfectly good wound medicine become fake?"

"Fake?" Qin Ye's brow furrowed. "You're saying the wound medicine you sent was fake?"

Qin Lang nodded, "Yeah, I don't know what happened either. I investigated all night but didn't find a single clue. I'll go to the military camp to investigate tomorrow, but I'm afraid something will go wrong when I try to take it!"

Qin Ye's heart trembled slightly. Wan'er had already been wronged about the caning, and then they even sent her fake wound medicine. She must be even angrier. He couldn't let her misunderstand this matter; he had to find an opportunity to explain!

After resting for two days, Qin Wan was finally able to get out of bed and go to Jingxin Garden to pay her respects to the old lady.

She looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Wan Shuang, can you still see the redness and swelling on my face?"

Wan Shuang leaned closer for a closer look. "No way! I've looked at it several times, but I still can't see it!"

Hearing this, Qin Wan was relieved. She couldn't greet him with her face swollen and red. She could at least cover up the injuries on her body, but not her face.

Now that the redness and swelling have subsided, I can finally go and pay my respects with peace of mind.

Qin Wan walked slowly towards the Tranquil Courtyard.

As I passed by the back garden, I heard Han Shu and Su Yan'er's voices.

"Auntie, next year we can plant some crabapple trees here, some forsythia here, and here..."

"Okay, whatever Yan'er says!"

Qin Wan stopped and looked at the two people opposite her. She saw how Han Shu looked at Su Yan'er, so intimately, something she had never done to her before.

She only showed perfunctory attitude and impatience towards herself.

Qin Wan had once suggested to Han Shu that they plant some crabapple trees in the back garden, but Han Shu said that crabapple trees were too bland and not as good as plum blossoms, so she immediately rejected the idea. Now that someone else has made the suggestion, she has agreed.

Perhaps it wasn't that she couldn't plant crabapple trees, but rather that she didn't care about the person who made the suggestion.
