If the engagement was broken off just because of Qin Wu, then that would be nothing. It can only be said that she was ungrateful and refused to enjoy the good fortune, but insisted on suffering.
But now that Qin Wu and Duke Yang have a good relationship, the nature of the situation is different.
The Yang family and the Qin family, both civil and military officials, have always been enemies.
Qin Wu was originally the daughter of the prime minister, the head of the civil officials. Now she has joined the camp of Duke Yang, the head of the military generals. This cannot but make the civil officials feel uneasy.
"Prime Minister Qin, could it be that your adopted daughter brought some important information to Duke Yang? Otherwise, how could Duke Yang be so polite to a junior like her? He even took the initiative to approach her and talk to her!"
One of the officials whispered to Prime Minister Qin.
If she really had some evidence against Duke Yang and held their lifeline, then the Qin family would be destroyed by her.
"Qin Wu doesn't have the guts." Qin Sujin said immediately, "She had been in contact with Miss Yang before. If she really gave the Yang family some evidence against the Qin family, with Duke Yang's personality, he would have sued the Qin family to the emperor long ago."
Indeed, Qin Wu has always been a useless waste, and Prime Minister Qin completely despises her.
He raised her all for his wife.
...
...
Otherwise, he would not have been able to take Qin Wu in.
Moreover, Qin Wu never dared to enter his study room casually, so she couldn't get any handle or secret from him.
However, he was deeply displeased to see that Qin Wu had actually joined the Yang family.
He strode towards Qin Wu.
Qin Yinnuan followed calmly.
"How dare you talk to the ungrateful, sinister and jealous daughter of Duke Yang? Aren't you afraid that she will bite you back like the farmer and the snake?" Prime Minister Qin's words were full of sarcasm and disgust and contempt for Qin Wu.
Duke Yang stroked his beard and looked at Prime Minister Qin as if he were a fool. "I am an old fox, a treacherous and scheming man. How can I be so bold as to say that others are ungrateful and have a venomous heart?"
"You said that Wu girl would bite me back. I didn't hurt her and I have no grudge against her. Why would she bite me and plot against me? It's because you, the Qin family, are so dishonest!"
He glanced at Qin Yinnuan and said, "When you couldn't find your biological daughter, you replaced her with your own daughter.
Now that he has found his daughter, he no longer takes others seriously. He scolds and beats her whenever he wants. Has the former Miss Qin become an adopted daughter now? Does Prime Minister Qin really think that he is a kind person because he has raised her for more than ten years? ”
After being stabbed by Duke Yang, Prime Minister Qin's face darkened even more, "I am only warning you with good intentions. If you don't listen, then I can't do anything about it.
But if she schemes against you and takes advantage of you, don't blame me for not warning you. ”
"My Lord, how can you be so stubborn and straightforward? Prime Minister Qin and you only have some political differences, and he doesn't really want to be your enemy."
Lord Zhao, the Minister of Works, spoke.
"After all, who doesn't have a heart? You also want your granddaughter to join the army, but how can a woman go to the battlefield? She should stay at home to take care of her husband and children, right?
We are all thinking about you. Besides, so many people from your Yang family have died. Do you still want women to die on the battlefield? ”
"We are all working for the emperor. Our colleagues only have different opinions. They don't have so many bad intentions. You should stop opposing Prime Minister Qin all the time."
"This Qin Wu, after all, Prime Minister Qin has raised her for more than ten years and provided her with good food and drink. But just because Miss Qin came back, she wanted to make trouble, leave the Qin family, and force the Qin family's biological daughter to leave. Such an ungrateful and ungrateful person should be kept at a distance."
Lord Zhao looked at Qin Wu with disdain, and kindly advised Duke Yang, "Who knows if she is getting close to you, Duke, to use you to oppose Prime Minister Qin so that she can retaliate against him? You have to be on guard."
Duke Yang had no good feelings towards the Qin family. If Qin Wu had not helped to save his son, he would never have trusted Qin Wu at all.
But he has his own judgment and will not easily doubt his judgment just because of what others say.
He believed that Qin Wu was an upright, brave and responsible woman, and was definitely not as bad, mean and vicious as they said.
So what if Qin Wu wants to use him to deal with the Qin family? He was originally at odds with the Qin family. Since she saved his son, he owed her a life. Even if she asked him to kill Prime Minister Qin, he would agree.
Although being hated and slandered by everyone, Qin Wu's face showed no emotion.
She didn't want to cause any trouble to Duke Yang and was just about to explain something.
Duke Yang said, "Ha, pah..." and spat a mouthful of golden liquid on Lord Zhao's body.
Everyone present widened their eyes.
Lord Zhao felt nauseous all over. He raised his voice and shouted, "Duke! How can you be so vulgar and disgusting..."
Duke Yang snorted and laughed, "I am just a peasant. I don't have as many tricks as you scholars. You are good at talking, making up stories, and sowing discord."
"It's none of your business if Wu girl can't use me. In my eyes, how can she be so heartless and ungrateful? Didn't she pay back the favor of raising me with 500,000 taels of silver? What the hell are you qualified to say that she is ungrateful and an ungrateful person?"
"If the Qin family is truly a gentleman and a kind person, you raised her voluntarily. If she wants to repay you, it's her business. If she doesn't want to, you can't force her. Moral kidnapping is a dime a dozen!"
"What's more, the Qin family raised her. She wanted to leave the Qin family. The Qin family asked her to pay money and be punished. She paid back the money and was willing to be punished. She did it all. Why, do they want her to pay with her life?"
"What qualifications do you have to accuse and insult her? You dare to bully her and sow discord between me and me? You think you have lived too long."
Duke Yang did not have the calm and composed demeanor that an older man should have, and when it came to scolding people he was no less skilled than a shrew.
But the murderous aura around him is frightening and no one dares to underestimate him.
After all, Duke Yang has fought on the battlefield for decades and is a veteran who followed the late emperor through life and death.
These civil officials who couldn't even lift a sword were still afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone's faces turned pale and they couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Duke Yang smiled sarcastically at Prime Minister Qin, "In my opinion, Prime Minister Qin, you have lost a good daughter! You will regret it someday."
Protected by Duke Yang, Qin Wu felt an indescribable emotion flowing in her heart.
She takes feelings lightly to avoid being hurt by them.
Only then did she see clearly what family protection was.
Although the Qin family raised her, to be honest, Prime Minister Qin's strict teachings were because he was afraid that she would bring shame to the Qin family.
The Qin brothers treated her just as well as a puppy. They were nice to her when they were happy, and ordered her around when they were unhappy.
Except for when she first came to the Qin family, they treated her very well, but in fact they only treated her as a substitute, to become their missing sister, to make up for the regrets in their hearts.
Later on, she was always the one trying to please the Qin brothers.
The only one who truly protects her should be Mrs. Qin, but in her heart she only treats her as Qin Yinnuan.
If Qin Yinnuan came back and she was still alive, would he never sincerely protect her again?
This assumption made her feel a little sad, but it was normal when she thought about it.
She is an orphan. She has no biological parents or family. She cannot have family members who protect her at all costs like Qin Yinnuan and Yang Zhanying.
She envied Yang Zhanying for having such a protective family.
I also envy Qin Yinnuan for having the trust of her family.
"Thank you, Duke, for your trust in me." Qin Wu expressed her gratitude to Duke Yang for his protection.
Prime Minister Qin snorted coldly with a gloomy face, "This kind of evildoer with a ruthless heart will be lucky to leave my Qin family!"
"My own daughter is much more capable, intelligent, and kind-hearted than her. How could I possibly regret it because of such a scourge, vicious, and rebellious girl?"
