Chapter 42 Brother and Sister Split

"Madam, the two young masters of the Yan family want to see you."

The sun was already setting.

Qin Mingzhu, who was wearing a cloak and sitting by the corridor reading a book in the sunlight, raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.

"Why, have you decided to admit your mistake?"

The maid who delivered the message nodded: "The young master said he wanted to come and apologize to you."

Qin Mingzhu slowly raised the corners of her lips: "I thought I would have to wait two days, but I didn't expect that only one day has passed."

Qin Mingzhu felt very comfortable living at home.

The table was filled with all sorts of candied fruits that she loved, little snacks that melted in the mouth, their sweet aroma wafting from far away.

"Bring it here."

"yes."

The maid in the mansion received the order and immediately brought Yan Yunrui and Yan Yunyue, who were waiting outside the courtyard gate for notification, into the courtyard.

Chunhua stayed beside Qin Mingzhu, looking at the two siblings walking towards them with a look of disdain.

"Madam, you really can't be too nice to these people. They say a little kindness pays off, and a big rice pays grudge. I see through it now."

At this time, the two siblings were completely depressed. Yan Yunyue even pouted and buried her head behind Yan Yunrui's arm, not daring to look up at Qin Mingzhu.

Qin Mingzhu was still sitting on the chair. She glanced at the two people approaching casually and asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Yan Yunrui was originally thinking about what to do next, but when he heard Qin Mingzhu's tone, he immediately exploded: "I'm not wrong, you don't give me and my sister food, you are a vicious stepmother! I want to take my sister back to the Marquis' Mansion now!"

Qin Mingzhu raised the corner of her lips and said, "Go back and come back when you have thought it through."

"yes."

Several maids and nannies standing nearby grabbed the arms of the two siblings without mercy.

Yan Yunyue stood there and sat directly on the ground, not wanting to move a step: "Brother, I'm hungry, Yueyue is hungry!"

Seeing his sister being so spineless, Yan Yunrui was furious: "Yueyue, get up and tell grandma. She will suffer the consequences. When you get out, tell her that this stepmother abuses us. Ask grandma to kick her out of the house and let everyone curse her!"

When Qin Mingzhu heard Yan Yunrui's words, the smile on her face deepened.

But she said nothing and didn't even have the interest to argue with the other party.

The two siblings were dragged away directly. When they reached the door, Yan Yunyue cried out loudly, "Brother, please admit your mistake quickly... Mom, Yueyue was wrong. Yueyue will listen to you from now on. I'm so hungry!"

Yan Yunyue, who had never been hungry, finally gave in.

She usually ate delicacies from land and sea. Not to mention not being allowed to eat, even if the food was poor, she would not be tolerated. As a result, she was hungry for a whole day and night after arriving at the general's mansion.

My stomach was churning and even started to growl, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

This kind of torture was unacceptable to her young mind.

Qin Mingzhu nodded slowly.

"Leave that little girl here."

The person who was dragging Yan Yunyue let go.

Yan Yunyue struggled to get up from the ground and walked slowly towards Qin Mingzhu while crying.

Her brother refused to admit his mistake, causing her to go hungry. She hated her brother so much!

Qin Mingzhu saw her coming over, staring at the snacks on the table in front of her, her mouth watering. She smiled lightly and pushed the snacks in front of her.

"Eat it."

Yan Yunyue's eyes widened and she immediately rushed over without any composure, grabbing the snacks and stuffing them into her mouth.

“Cough cough cough…”

She was choking while eating, so Qin Mingzhu gave her some tea.

The smile on her face was very gentle, but her voice was somewhat meaningful.

"Look, Yueyue, as long as you admit your mistakes, how can mother bear to let you go hungry? It was your brother who wanted to overturn the table yesterday. I didn't intend to make things difficult for you. I thought that as long as your brother bowed his head, the matter would be over. But he is too stubborn. Even if he doesn't think about himself, he should think about you, his sister, right?"

After eating a few pastries, Yan Yunyue's stomach was no longer so empty. She looked up at Qin Mingzhu with swollen eyes.

After hearing what Qin Mingzhu said, she suddenly turned her head and glared at Yan Yunrui angrily.

Yan Yunyue gritted her teeth and ate all the cakes. She stopped crying only after she felt her stomach was a little full.

"Are you full?"

Qin Mingzhu asked in a gentle voice.

Yan Yunyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, her head still lowered.

Qin Mingzhu smiled and said, "Yueyue, as long as you are obedient, mother will definitely not make things difficult for you. You are a good child and you can't learn from your brother, understand?"

Yan Yunyue was silent for a while, then nodded again: "Yueyue understands."

At this moment, she looked as well-behaved as possible.

After being hungry for a day and a night, the eight-year-old girl finally felt afraid.

Qin Mingzhu slowly curled her lips. She knew these two children and knew they were quite selfish at heart.

Although she was young, she knew that in order to have food to eat, she had to persuade her brother to admit his mistake.

There are two children in this family, and the problem is not the lack of children but the unequal distribution of their wealth.

She didn't need to beat or scold them and ruin her own reputation. She only needed to use some tricks to control the two siblings.

Since she raised two ungrateful wolves with sincere kindness, she would change her raising method in this life and be more ruthless to see what kind of people she could raise these two siblings who were inherently sinister and vicious.

After eating and drinking, the two siblings were sent back to the yard.

However, Qin Mingzhu specifically instructed that some snacks and some more comfortable bedding be sent to Yan Yunyue in the evening.

As for Yan Yunrui, there was nothing.

Inside the room, Yan Yunrui was already extremely hungry. When he saw the snacks brought in by the people outside, he immediately rushed over to get them and eat them.

As a result, Yan Yunyue held those snacks tightly in her arms.

"This is mine, brother, you are not allowed to eat it!"

Yan Yunrui licked his lips and said, "Yueyue, brother has been hungry for a whole day. That vicious woman must have done it on purpose to force me to admit defeat!"

Yan Yunyue rolled her eyes and said, "I was hungry before and begged brother so much, but brother ignored me. If you want to eat, find a way yourself. Anyway, this is mine, you are not allowed to touch it."

Yan Yunrui said angrily, "Yueyue, I'm your elder brother. What's wrong with you giving me some of your things? As soon as I return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely tell my grandmother what happened here. Then I will let my grandmother make the decision for us..."

"But this is not the Marquis' Mansion. Brother, if you want to eat, wait until we get back to the Marquis' Mansion..."

The little girl paused, raised her head and stared at Yan Yunrui, "I hate you!"

"Yueyue..."

Yan Yunrui had no idea what was going on. His sister, who had always been close to him, actually said today that she hated him!

He and his sister have always been dependent on each other in the Marquis' Mansion, and they can be said to be the closest people...

However, the hunger in his stomach made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the door, Yan Yunrui still didn't want to bow his head.

Thinking that Yueyue still had some snacks to fill her stomach, Yan Yunrui thought for a moment and walked forward, "Yueyue, give some of the snacks to your brother first."

Seeing her clinging to the plate of snacks tightly, Yan Yunrui had no choice but to grab it...
