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

Chapter 105 The root of this problem lies with Yan'er?

Qin Yi stormed in, a long sword in hand. After hearing Su Yan'er's account of what had happened, he only wanted to kill the vile maid who had angered Han Shu to the point of fainting.

So much so that when he came over with his sword, Qin Huai couldn't stop him.

He kicked open the gate of Wanyue Courtyard. The maids, seeing his menacing appearance, all tried to avoid him, fearing they would become victims of his sword.

But before Qin Yi could even enter Qin Wan's room, Old Madam Qin came out.

The sword in his hand was pointed at Nianqi, not to hurt his grandmother. The moment he saw Madam Qin, he subconsciously pulled the sword back.

"Grandmother!" Qin Yi was surprised to see Old Madam Qin here as well.

However, no matter who it was, it was difficult to suppress the hatred in his heart.

"Grandmother, since you are here, you should have heard what happened earlier. Mother is still not awake, all because of this wretched maid. As long as Qin Wan hands over this wretched maid, I will leave!"

Nianqi was not afraid. She was confident in her martial arts skills and knew that Qin Yi alone could not hurt her.

"presumptuous!"

Madam Qin did not interrupt the handover of Nianqi, after all, she was the Fifth Prince's person.

"The sword in your hand is for fighting on the battlefield, not for hurting your family. Throw it away right now!"

Madam Qin's health has improved recently, and she speaks with much more authority.

Qin Yi refused, "My elder brother instructed me to take good care of Mother before he left. Now that Mother has been bullied, how can I sit idly by? I will not leave until I kill this vile woman!"

Qin Yi was determined.

Nianqi didn't want to put Qin Wan and Old Madam Qin in a difficult position, and was about to walk out when Qin Wan, who came out of the house, grabbed her arm and gave her a look that told her not to worry.

"Qin Yi, you come here with a knife. What did Nian Qi do wrong? Why do you want to kill Nian Qi?" Qin Wan asked.

The moment Qin Yi saw Qin Wan, his eyes flashed with barely concealed anger; his mother's fainting from anger was also partly her fault.

"Of course it's because of Mother. Mother kindly tried to discipline her for you, but she repeatedly defied her. This kind of lowly servant should be killed with a single blow!"

"If you think it's because Mother fainted from anger, then you've come to the wrong person!" Qin Wan spoke calmly and unhurriedly, a stark contrast to Qin Yi's embarrassment and anger.

They are twins who look very similar. They should be of one heart and mind, but now they are fighting each other.

"Nianqi is a maid given to me by the Fifth Prince. I don't even know her temperament. How does Mother know?"

"Just because Su Yan'er blocked my way, Nianqi asked her to move aside, and Su Yan'er held a grudge and asked Mother to teach Nianqi a lesson. Ultimately, the fault lies with Su Yan'er. You should kill her, not Nianqi!"

Qin Yi frowned; something seemed off about what she said compared to what he had heard.

All he knew was that his mother had fainted from anger because of the maid Qin Wan had brought back; he had never really thought about why his mother would be so hostile towards a maid.

Does the root of this problem lie with Yan'er?

Qin Yi shook his head.

Impossible. Yan'er is kind-hearted; how could she possibly be like this because of her?

"Qin Wan, stop talking nonsense! This is just an excuse you're making to shirk responsibility. Grandmother is here; I don't want to argue with you. Hand over this wretched maid immediately, or else..."

"Otherwise what? You really don't respect this old woman like me!" Old Madam Qin finally understood everything.

The root of the problem is Su Yan'er, but instead of finding fault with Su Yan'er, they are finding fault with Wan'er.

An adopted daughter takes everything from Wan'er, yet she still tries to frame Wan'er. They are all blind and cannot see the truth.

When Qin Huai arrived, she saw Qin Yi looking like he was about to take action, as if he couldn't control himself.

He quickly stepped forward to stop him. This was in front of the old lady; drawing his sword was already a serious crime, and if he were to actually fight, it would be utterly rebellious.

His Majesty values ​​family harmony most highly, believing that only by managing family affairs well can one fulfill one's official duties.

The Marquis of Pingding's residence is already embroiled in rumors, and His Majesty already harbors resentment towards it because of these rumors.

If word got out that Qin Yi had made a move in front of the old lady, the Marquis's mansion would truly become the target of public criticism.

Not only must this not happen, but the news of Han Shu fainting must not be spread either.

Qin Huai snatched the sword from Qin Yi's hand and threw it to the servant behind him.

"You worthless brat, go kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Qin Yi was indignant. His mother was still lying in bed, while the culprit was getting away with it. He was unwilling to accept this.

"Father, this wretched maid has angered Mother to the point of fainting, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Qin Wan allows this vile maid to do whatever she wants. Relying on the fact that she is about to become the Fifth Prince's wife, she is arrogant and doesn't even respect her mother. She is utterly despicable!"

Qin Yi was still quite young, and his eyes were already red as he spoke, with tears welling up in them. His inability to hold back tears was probably inherited from Han Shu.

How could Qin Huai not be angry upon hearing Qin Yi's question!

But with the old lady there, Qin Huai couldn't do anything.

He's known as a filial son in the court, and he can't ruin that image at this time.

Seeing that Qin Huai did not react, Qin Yi called out again.

"Dad~~"

Before Qin Huai could speak, Old Madam Qin spoke up.

"My son, is this the child you raised? He came here with a sword without even knowing what happened. If I hadn't been here, would he have killed Wan'er and destroyed this Wanyue Courtyard?"

"What's wrong with a maid protecting her mistress? The one who's wrong is that malicious person. You blame Wan'er without even asking why. You've done this many times before, haven't you?"

"When Wan'er was in trouble, you blocked the news and kept everyone quiet, just so that I, an old woman, wouldn't know. But what about now?"

"You all wish I knew, you all wish I would step in and teach Wan'er a lesson, but is this Wan'er's fault?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan felt a dryness and intense pain in her throat. Even though she told herself not to cry, tears welled up in her eyes.

She almost couldn't help but pour out her grievances.

Behind Qin Wan, Wan Shuang was already sobbing uncontrollably. She had witnessed Nian Qi's courage and did not want to tolerate it anymore.

He raised his voice from behind and said, "Miss Yan'er knows perfectly well why Madam came to Wanyue Courtyard. She deliberately sent Madam to cause trouble for Miss. The Third Young Master and the Marquis will know her intentions once they investigate. Not only was I present at the time, but Madam's maids were also there. If the Marquis doesn't believe me, he can investigate!"

Nianqi wasn't particularly moved. All she was thinking was that if Qin Yi dared to take a step forward, she would beat him so badly he wouldn't know what to do.

Qin Huai understood that with the old lady in charge today, there was nothing they could do to Wanyue Courtyard.

However, he should indeed investigate what they said. He had arranged to go to a small restaurant for hot pot with his wife tonight.

She had been worried about her eldest and second eldest sons' mission to suppress bandits in Yunzhou, and he wanted to help her relax.

But when he finished his official business, he heard that Han Shu had fainted from anger. He had only heard that it was because of Qin Wan, and he never thought that Su Yan'er was also involved.

However, since Han Shu did faint in Wanyue Courtyard, Qin Wan could not escape responsibility.

The night was silent, save for the whistling of the cold wind.

West Wing Courtyard.

Su Yan'er heard that Qin Huai had inquired about all the servants who had gone to Wanyue Courtyard that day.

Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

This was the first time her heart had felt so panicked.
