Chapter 60 This slap is because you broke my jade hairpin!
"Third brother, what do you want to do?"
This is the jade hairpin that Qin Lang bought for Qin Wan with his first military reward. Although Qin Wan sold it before, she has been wearing it ever since that day.
This also shows that Qin Wan had feelings for Yu Chai.
But today it's broken!
Qin Yi touched his inner cheek with his tongue. Qin Wan's slap earlier was not light, and a handprint had already appeared on his face.
"What do I want to do? Why don't you ask her what she wants to do? If she had drunk the wine, would I have forced her? It's New Year's Eve tonight, doesn't she know the rules? She's obviously doing it on purpose!"
After saying that, Qin Yi spat out a mouthful of blood that had spilled from his mouth.
All eyes turned to Qin Wan again. Seeing her disheveled hair and slightly disheveled appearance, a hint of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.
Yes, if she had drunk the wine, why would the third brother have forced her to drink it?
If it hadn't been forced, the jade hairpin wouldn't have fallen to the ground.
Qin Lang looked at Qin Wan, as if waiting for an explanation.
Qin Wan straightened up, her hateful gaze sweeping over everyone. "I told you, I can't drink this wine!"
"Why can't you drink it? Yan'er can drink it, why can't you...?"
"You can't drink this, you can't drink this, Miss Fourth can't drink this!" Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, a burst of heavy breathing outside interrupted him.
Then came the physician and Wanshuang, who had gone to fetch him.
When she returned, Wan Shuang saw that Qin Wan's hair was in a mess, and looking at Qin Yi standing opposite Qin Wan, she began to guess what was going on.
Immediately, he harbored resentment towards Qin Yi.
After the physician entered, he bowed to everyone and continued, "The Fourth Miss cannot drink this wine. Some time ago, the Third Young Master fed the Fourth Miss a lot of lime water, which damaged her spleen and stomach. She needs to be recuperated slowly to recover. She must not come into contact with such stimulating substances, so the Fourth Miss must not drink this wine!"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowing. She said she couldn't drink alcohol because that incident had damaged her spleen and stomach, which was why she couldn't drink.
Why didn't she say so in the first place? If she had, would I have pressed her further?
Qin Yi felt ashamed and guilty, and he blamed Qin Wan for the mistake.
Everyone understood, but what they were all thinking was, why didn't she just say it directly?
"Wan'er, the third brother acted impulsively in this matter, but why didn't you just say so?"
Qin Ye was puzzled. If word got out that what happened tonight was a fight between the eldest daughter and the eldest son of the Pingding Marquis's mansion, what would become of the mansion's reputation?
Qin Wan bowed to the physician in gratitude, then looked at everyone and said, "I told you I couldn't drink this wine, did you all listen?"
She did say it, and they certainly didn't listen.
"If I had tried my best to explain why I can't drink, would you have really believed me? Wouldn't you have thought I was just making excuses, trying to avoid drinking? How many times have you misinterpreted my explanations as unreasonable and domineering?"
Qin Wan didn't mention any specific event, but Qin Huai and Qin Ye understood that she was referring to the events at the birthday banquet.
At the birthday banquet, her explanations and cries of injustice seemed to echo in their ears, but they had both wronged her.
But that incident happened a long time ago, there's no need for her to hold a grudge for so long!
Qin Ye lowered his eyes and secretly clenched his fists.
Qin Yi knew he was in the wrong, but he wasn't the type to give in. He said, "You know you have a weak stomach, so why didn't you have the servants change your wine beforehand?"
His tone remained as forceful as ever, showing no sign of feeling he had done anything wrong.
The physician replied, "I informed the lady that the Fourth Miss's spleen and stomach are not well-nourished and she cannot eat spicy or stimulating foods. This..."
All eyes turned to Han Shu.
Han Shu then realized that the physician had said such a thing, but she had been so busy preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet that she had forgotten.
Han Shu looked at everyone with an embarrassed expression and nodded.
The physician and Qin Wan both said it, but no one remembered that she couldn't drink alcohol. They still poured her drinks at the banquet and forced her to drink them.
Qin Wan sneered. This was her so-called family.
Han Shu caught a glimpse of Qin Wan's cold smile out of the corner of her eye and quickly explained, "Wan'er, Mother really forgot, it's Mother's fault..."
Qin Wan didn't want to get entangled with them anymore, nor did she want to listen to Han Shu's false explanations. Her grandmother had already passed away, and she didn't need to pretend with them anymore.
Picking up the broken jade hairpin from the ground, he sighed inwardly. What a pity. He had been thinking that he could exchange it for another two hundred taels after leaving.
After picking it up, Qin Wan walked up to Qin Yi and placed the jade hairpin where he could see it.
Before anyone could react, he raised his hand and slapped Qin Yi hard across the face again.
With a 'snap', the sound was even louder than before.
"This slap is because you broke my jade hairpin!"
Qin Yi knew that Qin Lang had bought it for her with his first military reward, and he also knew that he had broken it. He deserved the slap.
Qin Lang watched this scene with mixed feelings.
So this jade hairpin was so important to Wan'er; there must have been a reason why she sold it that day.
Qin Lang felt a pang of regret, regretting that he had spoken too harshly to Qin Wan that day.
Wan'er must have been heartbroken because the jade hairpin was broken.
The New Year's Eve banquet was a complete mess because of the two of them. Qin Huai remained silent, but that didn't mean he wasn't angry.
He simply suppressed his anger and didn't explode.
But at this moment, he seemed unable to hold back any longer.
"Stop it, all of you! Stop this nonsense!" Qin Huai roared, stunning everyone who stood there in shock.
Qin Wan glanced at him. When Qin Yi was pressuring her earlier, he didn't intimidate her, but now that she had the upper hand, he spoke up. He really couldn't bear to see his precious son suffer any injustice!
"Everyone, the physician says I need to rest, so I won't be able to watch the fireworks with you today. I'll head back to my room now!"
Qin Wan knew without even thinking what Qin Huai would say next; he would simply reprimand Qin Yi, but in the end, he would pin the blame on her.
I decided to just stop listening and go back to some peace and quiet.
After saying that, Qin Wan left the front hall with Wan Shuang without giving anyone a chance to react.
Han Shu wanted to call out to her, but Wan'er had been wronged in this matter. If she hadn't forgotten the doctor's reminder, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
Blame yourself!
In the end, Han Shu simply watched Qin Wan's departing figure without opening her mouth.
Qin Lang stepped forward, glared at Qin Yi, picked up the jade hairpin Qin Wan had left on the table, and left as well.
Su Yan'er's heart skipped a beat. Was her second brother also not going to watch the fireworks with her?
If the fourth sister doesn't watch, then the second brother won't watch either.
Regardless of whether there is any conflict between the fourth sister and the second brother, she can always affect the second brother's emotions. When will the second brother truly belong to her?
