Qin Wenyuan was stunned. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and felt a chill in his heart.
He recalled that Sheng Yunrong had told him how her father, Sheng Tianqing, the owner of Sheng Mansion, had fought his way through the martial arts world and established the prestige of Sheng Mansion. He suddenly realized that Sheng Yunrong was not the weak woman he had imagined.
"Qin Wenyuan, you thought you were betraying me, but in fact you were betraying the Sheng Mansion and the dignity of the Sheng family." Sheng Yunrong's voice gradually became louder, with raging anger flashing in her eyes.
Qin Wenyuan's body trembled, and he finally realized how serious the mistake he had made was. He lowered his head, speechless.
The atmosphere in the living room of Sheng Mansion became increasingly tense. The maids around Sheng Yunrong lowered their heads and dared not breathe. At this time, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked in. He was the housekeeper of Sheng Mansion and a loyal subordinate of Sheng Tianqing.
"Miss, Qin Wenyuan has been executed and the prestige of the Sheng family has been restored. Next, how should we deal with the remaining forces of the Qin family?" the housekeeper asked respectfully.
Sheng Yunrong calmed down and said, "The remaining forces of the Qin family are nothing to be afraid of. Just let them fend for themselves. As for Qin Wenyuan, he has been punished for his crimes. Now, I want the Qin family's assets."
The housekeeper nodded and turned away. Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan again, her eyes full of indifference and determination.
"Qin Wenyuan, your life has come to an end. But before you die, I will give you a chance. As long as you are willing to plead guilty, I can let you die more comfortably."
Qin Wenyuan raised his head and looked at Sheng Yunrong firmly: "Miss Sheng, I admit that I was wrong. But I will not bow to you. I am willing to accept the punishment of the Sheng Mansion."
Sheng Yunrong sneered: "Okay, then I will let you taste the punishment of the Sheng Mansion."
As Sheng Yunrong finished speaking, two strong men came in, pressed Qin Wenyuan to the ground, and began to torture him cruelly. Qin Wenyuan gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and did not make a sound.
Sheng Yunrong sat aside, watching this scene indifferently. There was no mercy in her heart, only deep hatred. She wanted to let Qin Wenyuan know the price of betraying the Sheng Mansion.
As time passed, Qin Wenyuan's breath gradually weakened.
Sheng Yunrong stood up, walked to Qin Wenyuan, looked at his pale face, and a complicated emotion surged in her heart.
"Qin Wenyuan, you are really stupid. You betrayed the Sheng family for your own future, but you didn't know that the dignity of the Sheng family cannot be violated." Sheng Yunrong sighed softly, then turned and left.
Qin Wenyuan's breath gradually disappeared, and his life finally came to an end.
…
He raised his head carefully and gave Sheng Yunrong a flattering smile, which was slightly pale in the sun, but full of sincerity. Sheng Yunrong looked at him, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes, but she quickly concealed them.
"Qin Moyuan, what are you doing?" Sheng Yunrong asked in a flat tone, with a scrutiny in her eyes, as if she was evaluating every move of Qin Moyuan.
Qin Moyuan lowered her head slightly, trying to make herself look more humble: "Miss, I know I did something wrong before and disappointed you. I am willing to accept any punishment, I just hope you can forgive me."
Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly. Qin Moyuan was a smart man and shouldn't have made such a stupid move at this time. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Qin Moyuan, you know the rules of my Sheng Mansion. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Since you have admitted your mistake, then next, you should accept the punishment you deserve."
Qin Moyuan's body trembled slightly. The punishment from Sheng Mansion was no joke, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, I am willing to accept the punishment."
There was a hint of complexity in Sheng Yunrong's eyes as she looked at him. Qin Moyuan was not a person who was willing to accept punishment, but he chose this path, perhaps to make up for his mistakes, or perhaps to protect his position in the Sheng Mansion.
"Qin Moyuan, are you okay?" Sheng Yunrong asked softly, her eyes full of concern.
Qin Moyuan raised his head and smiled weakly: "Miss, I'm fine, just a little tired."
Sheng Yunrong sighed softly. She knew that Qin Moyuan was holding back the pain. She walked to his side and patted his shoulder gently: "Qin Moyuan, you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere. Only in this way can you gain a firm foothold in the Sheng Mansion."
"Mo Yuan, you have been here for a few years. I have always wondered whether you are really willing to stay in Sheng Mansion."
Qin Moyuan's eyes trembled slightly, he lowered his head and clenched his fists. He had thought about this topic countless times, but still had no answer.
Qin Moyuan: "Miss, I...I don't know either. But I am grateful to the Sheng family for raising me, and I will do my best to repay them."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her smile.
Sheng Yunrong: "Repay? Mo Yuan, what else do you think you can do in this family?"
Qin Moyuan was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a determined light in his eyes.
Qin Moyuan: "I am willing to serve the Sheng family. No matter what I do, I will do my best."
The other family members of the Sheng Mansion sat down and chatted with each other. Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly. She didn't like this boring socializing, but she knew that this was her responsibility as the eldest lady of the Sheng Mansion.
Sheng Yunrong: "Mo Yuan, what do you think of them?"
Qin Moyuan smiled slightly. Sheng Yunrong didn't like this kind of occasion.
Qin Moyuan: "Miss, they are all contributors to the Sheng Mansion, we should respect them."
Sheng Yunrong nodded. Qin Moyuan was telling the truth. But she still felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart.
…
Sheng Yunrong didn't buy his trick. Her eyes turned cold, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth. She gently brushed away the dust on her clothes and slowly said, "Qin Wenyuan, do you think you can change my mind with just a few words? Do you think Sheng Mansion is still a place you can do whatever you want?"
Qin Wenyuan frowned, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure. He smiled lightly, with a bit of provocation in his eyes, and said: "Miss Sheng, do you think you can get rid of everything by leaving the Qin family? Don't forget that the honor and disgrace of the Sheng family is closely related to me, Qin Wenyuan."
Sheng Yunrong's expression became increasingly cold. She widened her eyes, stared at Qin Wenyuan closely, and said firmly, "Qin Wenyuan, you are wrong. The rise and fall of the Sheng Mansion has nothing to do with me. I, Sheng Yunrong, am no longer the woman who lets you manipulate me."
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to say such a thing. He smiled slightly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Miss Sheng, you misunderstood. I have no ill intentions. I just want to see if you are doing well."
