"Did you hear me? If you weren't always scheming to hurt others, would we be so mean to you?" Qin Suhuo said to her in a vicious voice, "Can't you learn from Xiao Nuan? She has suffered so much outside, and it's useless for us to care about her. You are narrow-minded!"
"Before, I just scolded you for such a small matter, but now you almost killed her. If I don't punish you, you won't learn your lesson!"
Qin Wu felt extremely sarcastic about what Qin Yinnuan said.
She never thought that she was bad, nor worse than Qin Yinnuan. In the past, she would feel inferior because of Qin Yinnuan's words and would argue whether she was bad or not.
But no matter how hard she tried, it was of no use.
It's because they favor Qin Yinnuan, so no matter how well she does or how much she gives to them, they can't see it!
But she was right about some things.
She was so afraid of losing her family that she allowed them to humiliate, trample and hurt her, and she was determined to do whatever they wanted.
Now that her family is no longer family, she is no longer obsessed with it.
Since she had no home...
...
...
"I said, as long as she says that I asked her out, I will confess and apologize to her." Qin Wu stared at Qin Yinnuan, "So, it was me who asked the maid to ask you to go to Linghe?"
Qin Wu's tone was somewhat intimidating, but her eyes were extremely calm.
Qin Yinnuan clearly felt that Qin Wu was different from before.
In the past, if she said a few words and Qin Su or others helped her, she would be so anxious that she would jump up and down and get herself into trouble. She could defeat them with just a few words.
Now he was confronting her so calmly, and even seemed to see through her plan.
"Qin Wu, Nuan Nuan never said from the beginning to the end that it was you who asked her out and she was almost killed by bandits. If I hadn't seen the letter that fell from her body, I wouldn't have known that it was you who asked her out."
Qi Xiuzhe spoke up for her in a cold voice, "Are you forcing her to say it wasn't you who did it?"
Qin Sumu, who had been silent the whole time, also said in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, it's not scary to make a mistake, what's scary is that you can't make amends. You just need to correct it, promise not to make the same mistake again, apologize to Xiao Nuan, and plead guilty. Your second brother will take the blame for your mistake today."
"Second brother, look at her attitude now. You're still vouching for her. How many times have you vouched for her? It's because you pamper her so unrestrainedly that she dares to target Xiao Nuan again and again!"
"She must be punished, otherwise she won't dare!"
"In addition to kneeling down, she must also receive the Qin family's ten-lash admonition!"
After saying that, Qin Suhu kicked Qin Wu's leg, making her kneel down.
Qin Wu was heavy, so there was no way she could hide from Qin Suhuo. She slammed her knees down and knelt down heavily.
She held on to the ground with both hands to prevent her big belly from pressing on the ground.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and was unable to put up any resistance because of her big belly.
"Fourth Brother, Xiaowu is pregnant, don't be so rough, what if you hurt her fetus?" Qin Sumu was dissatisfied with Qin Suhuo's treatment of Qin Wu, and reached out to support her.
Qi Xiuzhe stood there, frowned and said nothing.
"She has such a strong body and has been exercising and getting beaten by me all year round, how could anything happen to her!" Qin Suhu didn't think there was anything wrong.
Qin Wu felt a slight pain in her stomach, and she shook off Qin Sumu's hand that was helping her up.
She didn't need his fake kindness.
In her previous life, she thought he was the most tolerant of her, but in the end, he cut off her tongue because he thought she was noisy and made her unable to speak again.
The hand that was thrown away was empty. Qin Sumu's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression immediately turned cold, "Xiao Wu..."
"You all don't believe me and think I did it, so I admit my guilt, apologize to her, and accept the punishment."
Qin Wu knelt straight, looking at everyone present with a cold expression, a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her mouth.
"Ten lashes, huh? I'll take it."
"You call this admitting guilt and accepting punishment? There is no sign of admitting guilt in your words!" Qin Suhuo said angrily, "Second brother, this is the result of your protecting her! Fine, fine, you will take these ten lashes."
Just as Qin Suhuo finished speaking, Old Madam Qi walked in with her servants.
"Fourth Master Qin, Qin Wu is now a member of our Qi family. If she commits a crime, even if you want to punish her, you have to go through an old woman like me, right?"
“Crown Princess…” Qiu Shuang’s heart was in her throat when she saw Qin Wu kneeling on the ground. She rushed forward first and asked, “How are you? Are you injured?”
"Grandma, why are you here?" Qi Xiuzhe asked.
"Madam Qi." Qin Sumu bowed and greeted her.
But Qin Suhuo has always had a hot temper. He said on the spot, "Qin Wu is married to Qi Xiuzhe, but she is also a member of our Qin family."
"What's more, the Qin family should solve the problems among themselves. There is no need for the Qi family to intervene."
"Second Young Master Qin, is this the upbringing of your Qin family?" Old Madam Qi's hair was half white. She held a cane in her hand and banged it heavily on the ground with an angry look on her face.
"Qin Suhuo, don't be rude! Apologize to Madam Qi immediately!" Qin Sumu shouted harshly.
Qin Su had to listen to his elder brother's words. Although he was not happy, he still bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Qi. I have a straightforward personality. I hope I have offended you. Please forgive me."
"Grandma, I can handle this matter. You are not in good health and cannot work hard. You should go back and rest."
"Brother Zhe, you are too confused." Old Madam Qi said coldly, "If I don't come again, our Qi family's bloodline will be lost!"
"No, grandma. I know my limits."
"You know your limits? Then why did you let her kneel and be whipped by the young master of the Qin family?" Old Madam Qi glanced at Qin Yinnuan and said, "Qin Wu is your wife, do you understand?"
"Grandmother, Qin Wu has made mistakes again and again. As her husband, I don't want her to get into trouble, so I want to punish her..."
"What's wrong?" Old Madam Qi interrupted him sharply, "Are you saying that Qin Wu caused Miss Qin to be injured?"
"You are the Supreme Court Justice after all. Have you investigated the truth of the matter? How can you easily conclude that it was her doing?"
"Grandma, the letter Qin Wu wrote to Nuannuan was written in her handwriting. The evidence is irrefutable..."
"Brother Xiuzhe, please don't argue with the old lady. It will hurt the harmony."
Qin Yinnuan turned to Madam Qi and said calmly, "Madam Qi, I am the one who caused trouble for Brother Xiuzhe."
"Qin Wu apologizes to me, and we'll let this matter go."
"Second brother, fourth brother, I'm really fine, so don't make a fuss. We are all a family, we should be united, not so divided."
Qin Yinnuan's words indirectly pointed out that it was Qin Wu who wanted to harm her.
But the family still needs to appear harmonious, and it's really difficult for her to mediate and express it.
"My Crown Prince's Consort is innocent. Why should I apologize to you?" Qiu Shuang retorted loudly.
Old Madam Qi has already investigated everything clearly and found out that her young lady was framed.
"You, a maid, have such a bad temper. How dare you interrupt!" Qin Suhu punched Qiu Shuang.
Qin Wu quickly stood in front of her.
"Ugh." She groaned in pain and managed to steady herself.
"Miss." Qiu Shuang was horrified.
"Granddaughter-in-law." Old Madam Qi stepped forward quickly, "How are you..."
"I, I'm fine." Qin Wu's eyes turned red, and she said sadly to Madam Qi, "Grandma, no one believes that I am innocent..."
"No one believes you, I'll take your place!"
Madam Qi scolded Qin Suhuo, "Fourth Master Qin, you are so presumptuous in my Qi family. You really don't take our Qihou Mansion seriously!"
"I..." Qin Suhuo clenched his fists and looked at Qin Wu with some annoyance.
He just wanted to teach Qiu Shuang a lesson for being too talkative, but who knew that she would block the punch for her.
Madam Qi was very angry. "How can you be so blind and heartless to wrongly accuse Qin Wu?"
"Today I will prove to her that she is innocent."
"Someone, bring Qingzhu and the others in!"
