Chapter 23: A Lesson on Loyalty



"Without the Qin family, you would be worse than a beggar. This is how you trample on the kindness the Qin family has shown you!"

Kindness! Two words! Indeed, it was her obsession in her previous life, to repay the favor.

But she gave everything, but in the end she was ignored and trampled upon by them, and ended up dead.

She had already paid with her life to repay the favor, so she no longer owed them anything.

Qin Wu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them again with a cold look in her eyes. She turned back and said to Qin Xiang, "I know that I am not worthy of being your daughter."

"My mother has passed away, and the eldest daughter of the Qin family has returned. I am willing to leave the Qin family. If I do anything shameful or dishonorable in the future, it will have nothing to do with the Qin family."

"Otherwise, I can't be sure that I will continue to target Miss Qin!"

She is telling the truth.

Even if she doesn't target Qin Yinnuan, it doesn't mean she won't deal with her.

If she resisted, everyone in the Qin family would probably take the initiative to believe that she was the one who murdered her.

...

...

It would be best if she stayed away from them so that Qin Yinnuan’s plots could not fall on her.

"You want to sever ties with the Qin family, right? Fine, go ahead. Without the Qin family's protection, I don't think you can survive!"

After hearing what she said, Qin Suhu stood up angrily and pointed at her and yelled.

"You are so capable! Who do you think you are? You refuse to repent and even want to threaten us by severing our relationship with the Qin family! Without the Qin family, you are nothing!"

Thinking about how Qin Wu first refused to acknowledge him as her fourth brother and now wants to sever ties with the Qin family, what does she want to do!

He was so annoyed that he couldn't suppress his anger.

They all wanted to pry her head open to see if water had gotten in.

"Xiao Wu, I know you are worried that we will stop loving you if Xiao Nuan comes back, but you have to know that she is also our sister. She has suffered so much outside, so it is only right for us to be nice to her."

Qin Sumu covered his heart with his hands, and said to Qin Wu earnestly, "Do you really have to go against Xiao Nuan? Where can you go if you leave the Qin family? Only the Qin family can give you a safe haven."

"Listen to your second brother and admit your mistake to father. Don't threaten us with such words."

Qin Wu remained unmoved. She said sarcastically, "Qin Yinnuan and Prince Qi are really not what others think. Even if I add fuel to the fire, I can't stir up any waves."

"Everyone knows that there are differences between men and women. Didn't Prince Qi consider this when he saved Qin Yinnuan? Why did Qin Yinnuan get so close to Prince Qi and be criticized?"

"I let people spread the rumor that they had an improper relationship. I was wrong, but is what they did wrong?"

"Prime Minister Qin wants me to bear the consequences alone. Okay, Prime Minister Qin can expel me from the Qin family, and I have no complaints."

"You are quite reasonable!" Qin Xiang sneered, "You are quite courageous!"

"But the Qin family is a Qin family that you can become if you want to, and you don't have to become a Qin family if you don't want to? Do you think I won't punish you if you threaten me like this?"

"Since you are so stubborn..."

"Someone, bring me my disciplinary whip!"

What Prime Minister Qin hates most is being threatened, and now Qin Wu is threatening him.

He could kick Qin Wu out of the Qin family, but he would never allow Qin Wu to propose to leave the Qin family on her own initiative.

The reputation of his Qin family cannot be trampled upon by a little adopted daughter like Qin Wu.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be tamed. Qin Wu is rebellious and disobedient, so I will beat her until she behaves properly!

Qin Sumu's face changed slightly. He said to Qin Xiang anxiously, "Father, Xiao Wu just gave birth to a child a few days ago. It's too harsh to use the disciplinary whip on her. Let her kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on herself. She will figure it out."

The Qin family's disciplinary whip is better than an ordinary whip.

This whip has barbs, and one whip will leave a bloody mess.

Qin Wu had just given birth to a child. If she was whipped like this, wouldn’t she be dead?

"Xiao Wu, why don't you ask your father for forgiveness!"

Qin Suhuo crossed his arms and said to Qin Sumu, "Second brother, it's not like she hasn't been whipped before! She is becoming more and more rebellious now. She should let father teach her a lesson so that she knows what to say and what to do!"

Qin Suhuo was also reprimanded and whipped once. He knew how painful it was, so he became afraid of it. Worried about being whipped, he restrained his temper even if he was unhappy with someone.

After she was beaten, she no longer dared to think of bullying Qin Yinnuan, nor did she dare to talk about severing ties with the Qin family.

"Fourth brother, shut up!" Qin Sumu was irritated by Qin Suhu's words that added fuel to the fire. He coughed softly.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Qin Yinnuan hurried forward and patted his back.

"Father, as long as Qin Wu can clear my name, there's no need to punish her." Qin Yinnuan turned to Qin Wu helplessly and said, "Qin Wu, I told you that I didn't come back to compete with you for anything. You don't have to act so impulsively."

She said this to show her noble and broad mind, and also to highlight how narrow-minded and petty Qin Wu was.

Qi Xiuzhe said nothing. Qin Wu plotted against him and Qin Yinnuan to ruin their reputation. She really should be taught a lesson and suffer a little so that she would not dare to do it again.

It would be inappropriate for him to take action, as it would completely hurt the relationship between them.

But it was different when Qin Xiang took action.

Just give her a couple of whippings to teach her a lesson.

But Qi Xiuzhe didn't know the power of the disciplinary whip.

At this moment, the butler had already brought the whip that Prime Minister Qin wanted.

Qin Wu's face, which was already dull in color, turned even paler as she looked at the disciplinary whip.

She didn't expect that Prime Minister Qin would use the whip to discipline her.

Didn’t Prime Minister Qin feel that her adopted daughter was unworthy of being used and brought disgrace to the Qin family, and regretted raising her?

Now that she has taken the initiative to ask to leave the Qin family, why would he be unwilling?

Yes, she forgot that he was very concerned about his reputation. Even if he was kicked out of the house, he had to initiate it.

If she could use this whip to drive her out of the house, it would be worth it.

But she didn't want to be whipped at all.

"Pa..." Qin Xiang whipped Qin Wu hard on the back.

No one can stop his thoughts.

The thick clothes were torn by the whip, and the whip with fine barbs was pulled back, and blood instantly seeped red on the torn clothes.

It's shocking.

The pain came over her instantly, and her face turned even paler.

"Father!" Qin Sumu didn't care about the discomfort in his body and knelt on the ground, "Stop hitting me, Xiaowu must know she is wrong."

"Whoever dares to plead for her will be beaten together!" Qin Xiang's cold and stern pressure made people breathless.

"Xiao Wu, admit your mistake! Tell your father you will correct it!" Qin Sumu shouted at Qin Wu anxiously with red eyes.

Her eyes were red from being beaten, but there was no sign of submission or fear in her eyes. Qin Wu looked at Qin Xiang who was about to swing the whip again and said in a deep voice, "Qin Xiang, you don't want me to lie to everyone and let them know that I was beaten and forced to take on the unclear relationship between Qin Yinnuan and Prince Qi, right?"

"It is a fact that Prince Qi and Qin Yinnuan rode on the same horse a few days ago, and he carried her back to the Qi family. Many people saw it clearly on the road."

"If I show up with wounds all over my body and explain her innocence to everyone, the people are not fools. Then there will be more criticism. Your political enemies will probably take the opportunity to accuse you of abusing your power to oppress others!"
