When Su Yulan returned to the county princess's mansion after kneeling for a full hour with a swollen face,
Inside the mansion, one could see many unfamiliar faces. Several guards wore badges from the Dali Temple on their waists, making the entire county magistrate's mansion appear more imposing than ever before.
Chunmei said happily, "It must be that the son-in-law has returned from receiving the imperial decree to take up his post."
Upon hearing this, Su Yulan felt a sense of grievance, as if she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. She let go of Chunmei's hand and hurriedly entered the main hall. When she saw Qin Minglang, dressed in official robes and exuding an air of grandeur, she was deeply moved and immediately rushed over to him.
"Minglang, you're finally back! That bitch Jiang dared to..."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Minglang suddenly turned around and slapped her hard across the face.
The force was so great that it knocked her to the ground.
Chunmei rushed over to help her in a panic.
"Son-in-law, what are you doing?"
Su Yulan was stunned by the beating. She stared at Qin Minglang with wide eyes, covering her face in disbelief.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
Since the two got together, Qin Minglang has always gone along with her and coaxed her in everything.
She never expected that once he gained power, he would dare to attack her.
Qin Minglang, however, was not afraid at all, and coldly snorted down from his superior position.
"Su Yulan, do you think I'm definitely not coming back?"
His expression was sinister, like that of a ruthless butcher, which made Su Yulan instinctively shrink back in fear.
"Minglang, what... what nonsense are you talking about? To get you out, my mother and I have been running around everywhere. Today I even went to my grandfather to gather information and pave the way for you. How... how could you do this to me? How dare you do this to me?"
She grew angrier as she spoke, and the domineering arrogance that had just been reduced returned. She immediately got up and raised her hand to slap him, but Qin Minglang grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the inner room.
Chunmei was shocked and instinctively wanted to follow, but Su Yulan's clothes were thrown out from behind the screen.
Such a bizarre scene made her afraid to go in, so she could only back out and close the door.
Just then, she saw a servant leading a doctor out of the mansion, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately ran to the woodshed.
Sure enough, Zhang was no longer inside.
Recalling Qin Minglang's attitude just now, she knew things were not going well. She wanted to run out of the mansion to find Madam Cheng to come and make a decision, but she was stopped by two guards.
"The master has ordered that you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Inside the room, Su Yulan was stripped naked and thrown onto the bed. She had originally thought that Qin Minglang also knew he was wrong and would try to make her happy in bed.
Just as she was feeling embarrassed and annoyed and wanted to refuse, she looked up and saw that Qin Minglang had picked up a bloodstained riding whip at some point, and she immediately understood.
"Qin Minglang, if you dare lay a hand on me, my grandfather will not let you get away with it!"
"Smack!"
Qin Minglang lashed out with the whip, tearing the skin and flesh.
"You look down on me just because you're from the Su family? She's my own mother. No matter how bad she is, you can't beat her like that."
"Smack!"
Another lash.
Su Yulan cried loudly after being whipped.
"Qin Minglang, you bastard, I am the county magistrate! Your current status is all thanks to me! How dare you..."
"Slap! Slap!"
Qin Minglang lashed out with the whip twice more.
Seeing the whip marks, stained with blood, lying across Su Yulan's snow-white body, he suddenly felt an immense desire to conquer and a sense of satisfaction.
In the past, even in bed, Su Yulan liked to be bossy.
Too heavy won't work, and too light won't work either.
He had to obey when she forbade him to move.
Moreover, Su Yulan has a very perverted fetish: she likes Qin Minglang to kiss her toes.
It was the same kind of kiss where you step on his face.
At this moment, Qin Minglang felt a breath stuck in his throat, a stifling and suppressed anger.
The emotions that had been building up over the years seemed to be completely released at this moment.
He gripped the blood-stained whip and pressed it against Su Yulan's chest.
"You think you saved me? Let me tell you, your grandfather was involved in the Qingfeng Village affair, including the gunpowder scandal involving the Ministry of War. He doesn't dare to bring me to justice. From now on, I'm in charge of this family. You'd better learn from Jiang Qingwan how to be a virtuous wife and loving mother. If you don't learn, my whip won't spare you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
A moment later, Chunmei ran in.
Looking at Su Yulan, who was cowering on the headboard covered in blood, he couldn't help but think of the words Jiang Qingwan had once said.
"There really is going to be bloodshed."
Su Yulan was both shocked and frightened, and upon hearing this, she completely lost control of her emotions.
"Jiang Qingwan, she's a lowly woman, why should I learn from her? I am the county princess, the county princess! I will never allow anyone to threaten my position, absolutely not!"
Chunmei brought over her first-aid kit to apply the medicine to her.
“Princess, how could your son-in-law treat you like this? This is the Princess’s residence, you are the master. This is really too much. You must tell the old lady about this and let her stand up for you and teach your son-in-law a lesson.”
Su Yulan was in great pain and suddenly slapped her across the face.
"Be gentle with me!"
Chunmei felt very wronged and could only serve him even more carefully.
Su Yulan said angrily, "Zhang Shi was taken out by Qin Minglang?"
Chunmei nodded, "It must be her gossiping that made the young master misunderstand you."
"Hmph, you old bastard!" Su Yulan's eyes were bloodshot. "This matter must never be known to Mother. You must keep it buried in your heart, do you hear me?"
Chunmei was kicked hard again and quickly knelt on the ground to agree.
Su Yulan pulled the blanket over herself.
"Find a way to restore my face as soon as possible. At the palace banquet tomorrow night, I want to make Jiang Qingwan's reputation ruined!"
