Chapter 39 Kneel down and apologize
However, Yan Yunrui tried his best, but... he failed.
Just opposite Yan Yunrui, General Qin put one hand on the edge of the table, and a smile slowly appeared on his angular face with a little stubble.
The smile did not reach his eyes, but was perfunctory.
"Little guy, tell me what you and your sister like to eat, and I'll have someone prepare it."
He is a great general, so there is no need for him to bother with a little kid.
When Yan Yunrui heard this, he felt as if he was humiliated.
His face flushed red and he tried to overturn the table again.
After trying for a long time, I still couldn't move it.
Yan Yunrui was so angry that his eyes fell on the neatly arranged food on the table.
He seemed to have thought of a better idea. He looked at General Qin who was far away from him and grabbed the plate closest to him with one hand.
If he can’t lift the table, can’t he lift the plate?
Just as he was about to pick up the dish and smash it on the ground, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a white hand.
The hand looked weak, with slender fingers, but it was quite strong.
Yan Yunrui struggled to break free, but failed.
A familiar voice came from behind his head.
"Xiao Yunrui, this is not the Marquis' Mansion. If you wantonly destroy other people's things, they will definitely come to your door and demand compensation. If the Marquis' Mansion doesn't compensate, you will have to do the work yourself. This is the first rule of conduct that I, as your mother, want to tell you."
Yan Yunrui's expression froze slightly.
The person who spoke was none other than Qin Mingzhu.
Qin Mingzhu's voice was very calm, not even aggressive, but it made Yan Yunrui even more annoyed.
Yan Yunyue, who was standing by, saw Qin Mingzhu grabbing her brother's hand, and immediately rushed over to pry Qin Mingzhu's hand apart.
"Let my brother go!"
When Qin Mingzhu saw Yan Yunyue opening her mouth to bite her, she picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table and blocked Yan Yunyue's mouth.
The next moment, Yan Yunyue bit the chopsticks, and the pain made her almost cry.
“Woo!”
She cried out in pain and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Yan Yunrui was startled and immediately let go of the plate and hugged his sister.
"Yueyue, how are you? Let your brother see!"
Yan Yunyue's teeth were already showing signs of falling out, and now the roots were even looser. As soon as he took his hand away, Yan Yunrui saw her mouth full of blood.
Looking at Yan Yunyue's miserable condition, Yan Yunrui looked at Qin Mingzhu angrily. Seeing the other party's gloating expression, that look seemed to be able to kill.
"You vicious woman!"
He shouted angrily.
Qin Mingzhu looked at the two little ones with a smile. The two kids really had no idea and had no idea that they were now in her hands.
"Yunyue's teeth need to be replaced. New ones will grow when they fall out. This is a common process for all children. Don't worry about it."
Yan Yunrui was extremely angry: "It was you who hurt Yueyue, you deserve to die!"
Qin Mingzhu's smile faded. "She opened her mouth and was about to bite. Am I supposed to let her do that? The last time she took the initiative to hurt someone, I only gave her a small punishment and a big warning. She refused to change despite repeated warnings. It seems I've been too lenient with you..."
Qin Mingzhu's voice became colder and colder.
The style of painting changed so quickly that the two children were unable to react for a while.
Nanny Liu had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen. She was assigned to keep an eye on the Qin family and prevent them from doing anything to harm the two children, so she stood in front of the two children at the first opportunity.
"Madam, you have to think carefully. These two are the sweethearts of my old lady in the Marquis' Mansion. If you lay a finger on them, the old lady will definitely not let you go!"
"Threatening me?"
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Nanny Liu.
She had long disliked Madam Liu.
She had tolerated the other party before because she was in the Marquis' Mansion, where the people were numerous and powerful. She was a foreign daughter-in-law who married into the mansion, and she didn't bring many loyal people with her.
But now, this is the general's mansion!
Doesn’t this demonstrate the benefits of returning to your parents’ home?
Qin Mingzhu had no intention of pampering these people, and she would not beat or scold the two children because there was no need.
"Madame Liu, I'm a mother, and there are things I have to do. If I don't discipline them properly and make them obedient and sensible, do you think they will be able to become successful in the future?"
Nanny Liu's face changed because what Qin Mingzhu said made sense.
However, she couldn't bear to see her two young masters being bullied.
"Madam, you have plenty of tender means, but the two young masters are still young..."
Qin Mingzhu said calmly, "Have you heard about how the young master of the Liu family became so successful? Madam Liu is extremely strict with her son. If he doesn't study for five hours a day, he will be hung up and beaten."
"I think my stepmother's methods are gentle enough. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you anymore. That would be extremely disadvantageous to me. After all, I will still live in the capital from now on. I, Qin Mingzhu, still care about my reputation..."
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu felt a little relieved: "Since Madam knows this, that's good..."
But the next moment, Qin Mingzhu changed the subject: "However, today, Yan Yunrui overturned the table and wasted food just because he didn't like the food prepared by the General's Mansion. This is a serious crime. You must know that since the beginning of the year, the royal family has advocated saving food. The border is tense and war may break out at any time. Even if my Qin family and the Marquis' Mansion are not on the front line, we must know that we are worried about the country. Come, take Yan Yunrui and Yan Yunyue back to the courtyard and lock them up. Without my permission, no one is allowed to be fed by them."
"yes!"
All the servants in the surrounding general's mansions obeyed the order.
Yan Yunrui and Yan Yunyue's eyes widened in an instant.
"You...you are so vicious. You actually want to starve me and my sister to death..."
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyes, her eyes calm.
"That's impossible. It's just to teach you a lesson: how hard it is to come by food and how precious it is. How can you understand these things if you don't go hungry?"
She paused, as if thinking of something, and raised the corners of her lips. "Madame Liu, how about this? I'm not some evil stepmother, and I can't deliberately starve the two young masters and young ladies of the Marquis' Mansion to death. I promise you, as long as Yan Yunrui kneels down and apologizes to me, and says that he will never waste food again and will eat well, I will agree to lift the ban. What do you think?"
The words that Matron Liu wanted to blurt out were instantly stuck in her throat.
She really wanted to say that Qin Mingzhu's behavior was not right, but what she said next made it impossible for her to refute it.
However, Madam Liu had watched the young master grow up. Although he was only ten years old, he had a very stubborn personality and a deep resentment towards Qin Mingzhu. It was absolutely impossible for him to apologize to Qin Mingzhu...
