only.

Even when Qin Ran isn't obsessed with love, she's not brainless.

After she returned home.

She instinctively guessed that Xu Qingzhi might try to kill her secretly!

They did things swiftly and efficiently, without anyone noticing.

By then.

The "get out of jail free" card really is just a "golden card"!

She was inevitably going to be assassinated!

nature.

After returning home.

Qin Ran then gathered all the guards in the mansion to the door of his room.

Inside and out, up and down.

Left and right, front and back.

They were surrounded by guards.

This left the assassins Xu Qingzhi sent out with nowhere to strike.

They had no choice but to suspend their actions and return to report.

The assassination attempt failed.

Poisoning would then be difficult.

Qin Ran will definitely use servants to test the poison.

Xu Qingzhi first sent someone to put medicine in the eyes of the Duke of Qin.

He embellished the story of what his precious youngest daughter had done to her elder sister, giving a thorough account!

Duke Qin immediately rushed to Qin Ran's room.

A slap landed across his face!

"How dare you! You actually dared to harm your elder sister!"

"Your eldest sister did it all for you, to protect the entire Qin family!"

"You're willing to sacrifice yourself! But what about you? You repay kindness with enmity! You want to harm your elder sister!"

"Who taught you the principle of repaying kindness with ingratitude?!"

Qin Ran covered her swollen face.

He frowned.

"Father, you're just like Xu Haichuan; you only have eyes for my sister!"

"You bastard! You're the one who brought this upon yourself!"

"You used to hold a supreme position, both in the manor and in Xu Haichuan's heart!"

"Even if Heaven punishes you, you can still live!"

"Those who reap what they sow will not live!"

"Why are you turning around and accusing me of favoring your sister!"

"That's right, I'm biased towards your sister right now, and she deserves this favoritism!"

"A get-out-of-jail-free card can spare you from the death penalty! But you can't escape punishment!"

"I don't want to be branded as someone who uses a get-out-of-jail-free card to protect you!"

"Guards! Take Qin Ran to the courtyard! He'll be severely punished according to family rules!"

Qin Ran never expected this.

The Duke of Qin was so fair and impartial!

The moment I was tied to the bench!

Qin Ran panicked!

"Father! I know I was wrong!"

"Father, please spare me this time!"

The Duke of Qin chose not to show mercy!

"Bring me a stick!"

Upon seeing the stick as thick as an arm, Qin Ran immediately began to struggle.

"Father! I am your daughter!"

You can't be so heartless!

"Smack—"

The first blow landed quickly!

Qin Ran was spoiled and pampered.

How could I bear such punishment!

I felt like my buttocks were about to shatter!

Immediately afterwards!

The second stick hit it!

Qin Ran screamed in agony!

Cold sweat broke out on my face!

I have a severe pain in my buttocks.

This left Qin Ran with no choice but to submit and beg!

She knew where her father's weakness lay.

Then it transformed into a whining monster.

I started crying!

"Mother! Mother! Where are you?!"

"Mother! Your daughter can't bear this suffering any longer!"

"Mother! Please take me away from me!"

Qin Ran cried out for her mother repeatedly.

The Duke of Qin was heartbroken.

At first.

Madam Qin died during childbirth when she gave birth to Qin Ran.

This resulted in Qin Ran being born without a mother.

That is exactly the case.

The Duke of Qin had favored Qin Ran since childhood.

Qin Qing has always been very courteous to her younger sister.

But unexpectedly.

Such favoritism.

In Qin Ran's eyes, however, it became a source of pride and arrogance!

As a result, we've made such a huge mistake!

Qin Ran continued to cry out for her mother.

The Duke of Qin ultimately gave in.

When the tenth blow was delivered.

My hands trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, they threw away the stick!

"Help her back to her room and apply some ointment to her wound."

"yes!"

Qin Ran was quickly taken back to her room.

When the news reached Xu Qingzhi's ears...

Xu Qingzhi sighed.

"The Duke of Qin is quite sensible, it's a pity he was tricked by such a girl!"

"The Duke of Qin is ultimately protecting her! Severing ties is probably impossible."

"Unless, Qin Ran has done something that truly shames the Duke of Qin!"

"Wait! What if those thugs that Qin Ran would follow even if he lost his mind show up now?!"

"And what about the Qin State Guild's dealings with their persistent pursuit of Qin Ran?"

"However, finding someone in a vast sea of ​​people is not such an easy thing."

Xu Qingzhi thought for a moment.

"Someone, go to all the gambling dens and brothels and find someone."

Two hours later.

Wang Xing was thrown in front of Xu Qingzhi.

Xu Qingzhi looked at him, his clothes disheveled and his whole body reeking of rouge and powder.

She covered her nose with a handkerchief.

"Was it found in a brothel?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"When I found him, he was having an affair with that courtesan in bed."

"He was saying—up and down, left and right, front and back."

What does that mean?

Xu Qingzhi knew very well.

"Not very skilled, but quite the showman!"

Wang Xing tilted his head.

He frowned.

He gritted his teeth.

He asked, emphasizing each word.

"What business does Your Highness have with me? Visiting brothels is not illegal."

Xu Qingzhi asked the guard.

"Was his neck dislocated by you?"
