When Qin Hongzhang heard Qin Ningyue's words, his face suddenly darkened.
"Ning Yue, what do you mean? Are you giving up?"
Qin Xiang asked.
Qin Ningyue pursed her lips and frowned tightly. She could see that her father was angry, but after what happened in the palace, she didn't want to get close to Feng Ling and Qin Wan at all. She just wanted to run away from them. It would be best if both of them forgot about her and didn't mention her in the future.
She had a premonition that if she continued to hang around in front of them with a fluke mentality, she would sooner or later end up in a situation worse than death.
She always knew that Feng Ling was not as handsome and elegant as he appeared to be. When he got angry, he could be extremely cruel and ruthless.
Thinking of the outrageous lie she had told, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Dad, isn't Yang Qi, the legitimate son of the Fengtian Prefecture governor, already twenty-five? He mentioned before that he wanted to become our in-laws, but didn't I refuse? Now that I think about it, Yang Qi isn't bad at all. Why not go with him? My daughter agrees to marry him."
Qin Ningyue said.
Yang Qi was plain-looking and in poor health, but he had a good temper and was considered an upright person. They had met before because he picked up her sachet at a lantern festival.
She knew that Yang Qi liked her, but she had kept it in her heart. Later, she asked her father to test the waters, but was rejected by her father. Of course, she herself did not want to do it either.
But now she couldn't care less. She felt that it would be best for her to get married quickly, put her father's mind off her, and stay away from Feng Ling and Qin Wan, so as to save her life.
——Snap.
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Unexpectedly, as Qin Ningyue finished her words, Qin Hongzhang's face flushed red with anger. He raised his hand and slapped Qin Ningyue in the face. His beard was trembling with excitement. "Qin Ningyue, is this how I trained you? Is the son of a third-rank official worthy of you? Are you willing to degenerate? You want to marry a minor official just because you are not qualified to be a concubine?"
Qin Ningyue covered her face and looked up in disbelief. She never expected that her father would hit her.
From childhood to adulthood, Daddy has devoted all his resources to raising her and valued her very much. Now he is beating her?
Qin Ningyue's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
"You saved Prince Yu's life, and you are also very good-looking, and have great accomplishments in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Prince Yu was very fond of you in his early years. You have lowered your status and are willing to be a concubine. How can Prince Yu not accept you?
As for Qin Wan... When Prince Yu ascends the throne in the future, he will naturally expand his harem. If you allow women from other families to enter the palace to compete for favor, it would be better for you two sisters to join forces to deal with others. You go and explain the interests to her clearly. I believe Qin Wan will be able to accept this condition.
After all, she is the queen, so she must be very proud of suppressing you."
Qin Hongzhang had a stern face and a fierce look in his eyes, which showed that he had made up his mind.
But Qin Ningyue just felt cold all over and even felt ironic.
At the beginning, she also ran to Prince Yu's mansion and cried in front of Feng Ling, saying that she did not ask for the position of the principal wife, but was willing to be a concubine, and only wanted to stay by his side.
At that time, she saw the coldness in Feng Ling's eyes and refused without hesitation.
At that time, she only felt anger and pain, and did not feel ashamed. Now, hearing such words from her father's mouth, she only felt that she was extremely lowly. It turned out that in Feng Ling's eyes, she had already lost her pride. She was afraid that he looked down on her in his heart.
But now her father actually suggested that she be sent to his house to be abused.
Qin Ningyue stood up suddenly and stared at Qin Hongzhang stubbornly, with five finger marks on her fair face.
"I won't go. I will never set foot outside Prince Yu's Mansion. If you want me to marry, then it's Yang Qi. If you don't like him, then I won't marry anyone else. I'll cut my hair and become a nun. Anyway, the Qin family is also embarrassed. I don't need one more person!"
"evil creature!"
Qin Hongzhang was so angry at Qin Ningyue's roar that his forehead swelled. Especially when he heard what she said, he was so angry that his whole body trembled and he raised his hand uncontrollably.
"Hit me, hit me hard, beat me to death! I don't want to live anymore!"
Qin Ningyue roared.
Qin Hongzhang raised his hand in the air but did not put it down for a long time. The two men looked at each other, both filled with anger.
The flesh on Qin Hongzhang's face was twitching.
Qin Ningyue looked at her father with a ferocious face in front of her. Her eyes were red, as if she discovered for the first time that her father seemed gentle and elegant on weekdays, but was actually extremely vicious in his bones. At this moment, there was no kindness in his eyes, only anger.
"Qin Ningyue, I still have the final say in this family. You must listen to what I say, and listen to it all the time. Otherwise, I will take back as much as I gave you. I will just think that you are unhappy and have a childish temper. Go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, I want to hear your answer."
After a long standoff, Qin Hongzhang withdrew his hand with a sullen face and spoke coldly, his tone strong and threatening, leaving no room for refusal.
Qin Ningyue bit her lip, her eyes red, and turned to leave the living room.
She gritted her teeth, feeling suffocated and in pain. She knew that her father was forced into a desperate situation and was very angry, so he attacked her and placed his hopes and solutions on her. If it was before, she might have agreed to this plan because she also felt that her father's analysis was correct, but now she had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to move forward at all. If she stayed away from the two of them honestly, she could still keep some thoughts, but if she rushed forward to look for trouble, she would lose all her dignity and face, and the truth might even be revealed.
Unless Qingyue is really dead and no one knows what happened back then.
Then she can feel at ease.
But right now, she really didn't dare.
"Hey, sister, were you beaten by daddy? Tsk, tsk, tsk, what happened? Look at your swollen little face, it's really heartbreaking."
At this moment, a vulgar voice gloated over someone else's misfortune.
Qin Shuo was wearing a sky blue robe with the buttons unbuttoned, and he staggered over reeking of alcohol.
He squinted his eyes and looked Qin Ningyue up and down, smiling very wantonly, with a flush on his face from a hangover.
He stretched out his hand to touch Qin Ningyue's face, but before he got close, Qin Ningyue slapped him away, "Get out!"
She shouted angrily.
Qin Shuo hissed when he was hit, and the slight drunkenness he felt was gone.
"Big sister, what are you doing? Your brother is concerned about you, why don't you know what's good for you?"
Qin Shuo glared angrily.
Qin Ningyue's eyes were full of disgust. She had always looked down on this good-for-nothing brother, who was just the son of a lowly person. She dodged him and walked away as if she had seen something dirty.
It was this kind of look that made Qin Shuo furious.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always looked at him as if he were trash.
He was so angry that he grabbed Qin Ningyue's arm just as she passed by him.
"Sister, don't go..."
