She used to think that the Qin family and Qi Xiuzhe treated her very well.
It's just because she is too easily satisfied and too afraid of losing.
No matter what they gave her, or what they said good things about her or praised her, she was willing to give her all her sincerity nakedly. She even thought they were doing her good even if they stepped on her.
In fact, they always thought they were good to her, but they never really treated her with their heart.
Qin Xiang ignored her, and she thought that he was in a high position and trusted her, but in fact he looked down on her only because she could appease Qin Xiang's wife.
Qin Sujin was harsh and strict with her because he was afraid that she would bring shame to the Qin family.
Qin Sumu taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs because he didn't want his sister, who was as learned as he, to be illiterate.
Qin Su may have taken her around to play because he wanted her to take the blame when he got into trouble. With her help, Prime Minister Qin would be more lenient with him.
Qin Sushui might be the only one who sincerely taught her martial arts and wanted her to be able to protect herself, but he also didn't really treat her as a relative.
Or maybe, she has martial arts skills and is completely loyal to the Qin family. If the Qin family is attacked by their enemies, she can help resist and let the Qin family escape.
...
...
No matter what, they all had their own selfish motives, but they never really asked about her feelings or cared about her thoughts.
What they think is right is right, so she is right. If they say she is wrong, then she is wrong...
She had only known the Yang family for a little over a month.
Given her current situation, she has offended not only the Marquis' Mansion, but also the extremely powerful Prime Minister's Mansion.
If it were someone else, they would avoid her like the plague.
Not to mention taking her in, he also wanted to adopt her as his adopted daughter, not fearing the monstrous characters she might offend.
Qin Wu immediately knelt down and bowed, "Qin Wu greets my adoptive father, adoptive mother, adoptive grandfather, and adoptive sister!"
“Okay, okay…”
Mrs. Yang and others were very happy.
With a gleam in her eyes, Madam Yang and others hurriedly helped her up from the ground.
Duke Yang handed her the dagger in his hand, "Look, this dagger is a good weapon that can cut iron like mud. It's so beautiful, it's perfect for self-defense."
"Here, this bracelet is a little gift from my stepmother." Yang took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it in Qin Wu's hand.
General Yang also gave Qin Wu a red Lingfeng whip.
This whip is made of special material and can be worn as a belt at ordinary times. When fighting, it can be transformed into a tough, fish-scale whip that is very sharp.
Yang Zhanying usually doesn't dress up and doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on her.
She was a little embarrassed to give her the peach wood hairpin she had made herself.
"My stuff is a bit shabby, ha." Yang Zhanying smiled awkwardly, "I'll take you to Zhenbaozhai tomorrow. Pick out something you like and I'll buy it for you."
Qin Wu took the hairpin from her hand and inserted it into her hair. "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Yang Zhanying was a little dazed when looking at Qin Wu.
Qin Wu's bone structure is very three-dimensional. She is gentle and pure yet has an unyielding determination. She is a natural queen.
Even without makeup, she is still breathtakingly beautiful.
"As long as it looks good." Qin Wu smiled, "It's not about the price of a gift, but about the thought behind it."
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much..."
After returning to the yard, Qin Wu changed the medicine on Bai Lu's wound.
"Miss." Bai Lu said weakly, "I am sorry to have troubled you."
"You were injured to protect little Nuonuo, so it's reasonable for you to worry about it."
"Miss, I have prepared Bai Lu's medicine." Qiufen brought the medicine in, "I will feed Bai Lu the medicine first."
"Um."
After Bailu drank the medicine, Qin Wu asked Qiufen and others to call Dongzhi and others over.
The only one not called Yan Shiyi.
Qiu Shuang stood beside Qin Wu holding little Nuonuo.
Everyone else stood in front of Qin Wu.
Qin Wu looked at them and said after a moment, "I remember correctly. You all said that you were bought from the slave market by Yan Shiyi, right?"
Qiu Shuang didn't understand why Qin Wu asked this.
But Qiufen and others' faces changed in shock, and they obviously knew what Qin Wu wanted to say.
Qiufen was the first to kneel on the ground, and the others quickly followed.
"Forgive me, young lady. We didn't mean to hide it."
"Who are you?" Qin Wu asked, "Who is Yan Shiyi to you?"
Qiufen and Hanshuang had cold sweat on their foreheads and were filled with fear.
Dongzhi then answered, "Miss, Yan Shiyi is our leader."
"He is the assassin leader of our organization. Since the organization was hit, he was seriously injured and almost all of our organization was wiped out."
“We were lucky to escape.”
"Then the chief found us and asked us to serve you and protect you."
Dongzhi looked at Qin Wu seriously with a loyal face, "Miss, the leader concealed these things at the time because he was worried that you would not want to take us in. After all, we used to be killers and have many enemies. You are afraid that we will implicate you."
"If the lady doesn't want to use us anymore, we understand. We will leave today and never appear in front of her again."
Having said this, he added, "Chief Yan really has no intention of harming you, please don't drive him away..."
Yan Shiyi had told her before that he was a killer.
After Dongzhi said this, Qin Wu's doubts about their identities were dispelled.
After all, they served her wholeheartedly and had no ulterior motives, nor did they hurt her, and they even protected little Nuonuo.
But she discovered that they had martial arts skills and were not ordinary servants. She would not feel at ease unless she asked clearly.
Now that she knew they were also members of the killer organization and were Yan Shiyi’s former subordinates, she felt relieved.
"Don't worry, I won't drive you away."
Dongzhi and Lidong are both good at martial arts. When she moves to the new house, she can let them be the head of the guard.
Qiufen and others also know some skills and can better protect little Nuonuo.
After this crisis and having witnessed their loyalty, how could Qin Wu possibly drive them away?
It would be too late to add a little more moon silver to keep them.
"Really? Miss, we will certainly take better care of you and serve you. Thank you for not driving us away..." Qiufen was the first to kowtow in gratitude.
Others also expressed their loyalty.
If Qin Wu didn't keep them and drove them away, then the moment they walked out of Qin Wu's place, they would be dead.
Because their lives belong to Qin Wu, if they leave Qin Wu, Yan Shiyi will kill them.
"You two should take good care of your injuries first. We will live in the Duke's Mansion for the next few days and move out in a few days." Qin Wu then instructed Dong Zhi, "Tomorrow, you go and recruit 30 guards. They must be strong."
"Yes, miss."
"You don't need to tell Yan Shiyi about what I asked you today. Just do your own thing and I won't treat you unfairly."
"Yes, Miss..."
Qin family.
Qin Su was lying on the bed, still in a coma.
