Chapter 639 Not Leaving
The maids and servants continued slapping each other, and after half an hour, Qin Nanyan called for them to stop.
The group covered their swollen cheeks, secretly relieved. Thank goodness, if they slapped them any harder, their faces would be smashed.
"I said stop, not actually stop you. Now, divide into pairs and slap each other until I'm satisfied."
Qin Nanyan crossed her arms and watched the spectacle with great interest, finding amusement in it all.
With her mother gone, there was no one in the Qin family worth her affection. On the contrary, those who drove her mother to her death were her enemies.
"Miss, please, please be lenient!"
Upon hearing this, the group of servants immediately collapsed to the ground in fright. They knew that if their young mistress made a scene again, the old lady would hold them, these insignificant servants, responsible for the mess.
After all, replacing someone only costs money, but what can they do? They can only follow orders.
"Miss Yuli, could you please say something in her defense?"
The maids and servants were crying and wailing, looking very pitiful. They had only slapped Yuli a few times, but now she was being repaid twice over. They didn't know how to make their young lady vent her anger.
"Miss, please calm down. It's hot lately and it's easy to get a sore throat."
Yu Li stroked her cheek and said, "I have a fever and my lips are blistered, so I can't put on makeup. You still have to be a beautiful bride."
Qin Nanyan rubbed her hands together and sneered, "Kindness is often taken advantage of. My mother was just put under guard, and these demons and monsters started jumping around and trying to crush me. They never thought that if I were to marry Lord Lin, I would be the wife of a third-rank official. If the Qin family wanted to benefit, it would be just a matter of me saying a word."
Qin Nanyan instructed the maids and servants to be sensible, as she could take them to the Lin family.
Now, everyone couldn't help but be tempted.
In the Qin family, the old lady holds absolute power, and they can only listen to her but cannot gain her trust. If they go to the Lin family, they will naturally represent the Qin family's reputation.
I heard that after Qin Shi passed away, Lin Shusheng renovated the courtyard. It turned out that all the maids and servants who had served Qin Shi had been sold.
"Miss, I will obey your command. Please take me to the Lin residence."
The quick-witted maid stepped forward again and took the initiative to show goodwill to Qin Nanyan.
Following the young lady around, if I'm lucky enough to catch Lord Lin's eye, becoming a concubine would be a good option, a way out in the future.
Moreover, Lord Lin is in his prime, holding a high position and possessing great power, and is handsome—the ideal husband in every woman's heart. They cannot understand why Qin Nanyan keeps resisting.
“Miss, if you need any errand runners, please take this old servant with you.”
Then another old woman stepped forward, and everyone began to introduce themselves.
"Alright, I'll consider it and see how you perform."
After Qin Nanyan finished speaking, she said impatiently, "It's late now, you should all do what you need to do, don't gather in my room."
The feeling of being constantly monitored was incredibly frustrating, and it was no wonder she got angry.
"If you're worried, wait outside."
Seeing that no one had moved, Qin Nanyan raised an eyebrow and said, "You just said you wanted to follow me, but now you're behaving like this, do you really want to go to the Lin residence with me?"
After the question was posed, everyone looked at each other, some took a step back, and the rest followed suit, scattering away in a flurry.
Only Yu Li remained in the room. Qin Nanyan finally didn't need to pretend anymore. She blinked quickly, but the tears in her eyes rolled down uncontrollably.
Seeing her young mistress's expression, Yu Li understood everything!
The Qin family kept the news of the lady's death a secret, and the ice they bought was for preserving her body.
I remember that after learning of Qin's death, Qin Nanyan was very emotional. At that time, she said that Lin Yue'e would be a motherless child. Although she, as the older cousin, looked down on her younger cousin's behavior, she would still do her best to protect her.
She had barely finished speaking when it was her turn.
With her mother gone, the Qin family was no longer a home, and Qin Nanyan was left all alone and helpless.
She stared blankly at the silhouettes left by the candlelight on the wall.
“Miss, Madam has done everything in her power to ensure you have a good future, you…”
Since there was no one eavesdropping or monitoring, Yu Li frankly admitted that she had contacted the old woman left behind by the Zhou family in the kitchen, and that they could make arrangements at any time if the young lady wanted to escape.
The Qin family buys supplies from outside every day, and they even have a water delivery cart that brings water from a mountain spring in the outskirts of Beijing to Old Master Qin for making tea. As long as you pay them, helping the young lady escape is not a problem.
In her opinion, the best time would be tonight, so that the Qin family would be caught off guard.
"After you escape, the Qin family will have no way to explain to Lin Shusheng, which will surely be quite interesting."
Yu Li tried to persuade her earnestly, but she knew in her heart that her young mistress was a stubborn person and might not listen to advice.
This opportunity will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. While the young lady was keeping the maids and servants outside in the dark, she left before they could even react, leaving the Qin family with no way to find her.
Leaving the city now is difficult, so we'll hide somewhere in the city until Miss Yue Sha sells the estate and shops, then the two of us can leave the capital and stay far away from it.
“Miss, you said you wanted to go to the North, where it starts to snow in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the whole winter is covered in ice and snow.”
In winter, when no common people wander around freely, and the neighbors are kind and honest, the mistress and servants will hide away for a year or two, and then return when things calm down.
"There's no rush to pay respects to the lady in these few days, otherwise all her efforts will be in vain."
Yu Li said a long string of words, having already convinced herself.
Leaving tonight is something the Qin family would never have expected.
"I'm not leaving."
Qin Nanyan sat in the chair, remained silent for a long time, and only replied with the two words "Yu Li".
She did want to escape, that's true. Her plan was to take her mother and Yuli with her, a total of three people. But now that her mother is gone, what does it matter where she is?
Why are these executioners from the Qin family still living a life of luxury and holding high positions?
And then there's Lin Shusheng, whose wife died less than a month ago, and he remarried while pretending to be deeply in love. He's a disgusting scoundrel who takes advantage of others and acts innocent.
They cannot be let off the hook; everyone must pay the price!
Qin Nanyan's eyes were bloodshot. She was determined to carry out a bloody revenge and spare no one!
"Miss, you've gone mad!"
Yu Li trembled with fear. She knew that every word her mistress said was serious, and that was what made it so terrifying.
For someone insignificant, Zhou's life has already been lost. Are we going to drag Miss down with her too?
If you want revenge, you have to live a good life first.
“Look at Miss Yue Sha. Lin Shusheng abandoned Miss Yue Sha’s mother for more than ten years. Although he brought her back, she still hates the Lin family.”
Yu Li used Lin Yuesha as an example, saying that Lin Yuesha didn't care about anyone's opinion, ate and drank as she pleased, didn't suffer any loss, and lived a carefree life. On the contrary, she could cause trouble for the Lin family. This was the real revenge.
