Chapter 45 The Scumbag Father Arrives, the Show Begins
Qin Zhining stood there, her hair disheveled by the wind, her eyes glaring as if she wanted to devour someone, followed by Qin Xiaoxiao, whose face was ashen.
"Qin Zhining? You—what are you doing here?" Qin Zhiyu reacted first, frowning and scolding, "This is none of your business, get out!"
"None of my business?" Qin Zhining sneered, walking step by step toward Young Master He. "You want to take what my mother left me for yourselves."
If you fail to get what you want, you disregard the lives of others and bully others with your power. This is none of my business.
Qin Chengxuan was bullied by you, Chen Xiaomei was kidnapped by you, and the jade seal left by my mother was stolen by you. Oh, right, even though that thing was fake, why do you say it has nothing to do with me?
"What? The item is fake?" Although Qin Zhiyu was blushing and her neck was thickened by the questioning, she immediately shouted in a shrill voice when she heard that the jade seal was fake, "How could it be fake? You're lying."
Young Master He was also greatly shocked.
When he first saw Qin Zhining, he wanted to mock her a bit, "Oh, isn't this the second young lady of the county magistrate's mansion? What, want to stand up for your brother?"
I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you'll kneel before me and kowtow until I soften my heart, then I'll consider it—"
But before he could utter these sarcastic and mocking words towards Qin Zhining, she swallowed them back down, startling him so much that he widened his eyes and examined the jade seal closely.
"Young Master He, have you ever seen my mother's jade seal?" Qin Zhining kindly reminded him.
Young Master He shook his head subconsciously.
Yes, he had never seen the jade seal before, so how could he tell if it was real or fake?
"Tch—" Qin Zhining sneered, "Never seen it before, what are you pretending to know? Pretending to be an expert, ptooey—what an idiot."
Young Master He was completely enraged after being fooled by Qin Chengxuan and ridiculed by Qin Zhining. He roared at the thugs, "Get him!"
"Tie this girl up too! Today, I'll show Qin Chengxuan what will happen to his sister if she dares to try and fool me with counterfeit goods!"
The thugs immediately surrounded them, holding wooden sticks and short knives, looking fierce and menacing.
Qin Chengxuan shouted anxiously, "Qin Zhining, go quickly, don't worry about me."
Qin Zhining didn't move, but instead winked at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Go and protect Chen Xiaomei and Chen Erlang!"
At that moment, Chen Erlang pulled his sister to the corner of the dilapidated temple and stood in front of Chen Xiaomei. Although he was scared, he clenched his fists tightly, looking like he was ready to fight at any moment.
Even so, he never considered abandoning Qin Zhining and running away.
Just then, a loud shout came from the entrance of the dilapidated temple: "Whoever dares to touch Miss Qin, we'll cut off his manhood!"
Chen Erlang turned around and saw several servants under Miss Qin's command.
Li Mo, Wang Song, and Zhou Zhang have returned.
Behind them followed a middle-aged man dressed in silk clothes, looking reluctant; he was none other than Steward Zhou from Zhangjiazhuang.
Steward Zhou was carrying a heavy cloth bag, which clearly contained fifty taels of silver and medical expenses.
Young Master He was caught off guard by the sudden situation and stared blankly at Steward Zhou.
Seeing the three people who had suddenly appeared, he frowned but still said respectfully, "Butler Zhou, you—what brings you here?"
Butler Zhou wore a fake smile on his face, but in his heart he was cursing Young Master He to the core.
He didn't want to come, but Li Mo threatened to expose his son's affair, which scared him so much that he dared not refuse.
When He Qilin asked him, he chuckled dryly and said, "Is this Young Master He? I—I have a misunderstanding with this eldest daughter of the Qin family. I—I came to deliver some money to Miss Qin. I have no other intentions, no other intentions."
Qin Zhining ignored Butler Zhou and said to Li Mo and the other two, "Don't waste your breath on them, deal with these thugs."
Remember, don't kill them, just break their legs—don't they like breaking other people's legs? Let them experience it themselves.
"Yes, Miss." Li Mo and the other two had been holding back their anger for a long time, and upon hearing this, they immediately rushed forward.
Although the three of them were just street thugs, they all knew martial arts and could easily handle more than a dozen thugs.
Before long, screams of agony from the thugs echoed through the dilapidated temple, along with the sounds of breaking wooden sticks and shattering bones.
Young Master He and Qin Zhiyu turned pale with fright and took a few steps back, bumping into the offering table. The incense burner on the table fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered into pieces.
Qin Zhining walked towards them step by step, her eyes as cold as ice. "Young Master He, Qin Zhiyu, it's time to settle our score."
Young Master He trembled as he handed over the fake jade seal, "A-Ning—oh, no, it's Miss Qin."
"Miss Qin, here's the jade seal back. Let's call it even, okay? I promise I'll never do it again." A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; he'll soften his stance and get away first.
Qin Zhining didn't answer, but instead looked at Steward Zhou: "Steward Zhou, you were the head of the estate in Grand Secretary Zhang's manor before. You are knowledgeable and know more than ordinary people."
"Come, come, come! Someone like the son of the prefectural magistrate, abusing his power to bully others and forcibly seize people's property—tell me, can this matter be left unresolved?"
Looking at the servants and young men lying sprawled on the ground, writhing and groaning in pain, then at Qin Zhiyu trembling with fear and He Qilin looking dejected, Steward Zhou took a deep breath and shook his head. "No—it can't be."
He used to bully the honest villagers in the village, relying on his position as the head of the estate. So, today's incident with Young Master He made him realize that the eldest daughter of the Qin family was not someone to be trifled with, and that he couldn't handle her with his limited strength.
"Did you hear that?" Qin Zhining sneered, reached out and grabbed Young Master He's wrist, twisting it forcefully.
"Ah—" Young Master He let out a scream as his wrist bent at an odd angle, clearly broken.
Qin Zhiyu jumped up in fright, screaming, "Qin Zhining, how dare you hit Young Master He? You—you've got some nerve! Aren't you afraid of the He family's revenge?"
"Revenge?" Qin Zhining turned to look at her, her eyes full of mockery. "I'm more afraid you won't retaliate."
Qin Zhiyu, don't forget, you are Qin Chengxuan's biological sister, his own flesh and blood, yet you help outsiders bully your own brother and kidnap innocent girls. Do you even deserve to be called a human being?
Qin Zhiyu was speechless, and tears fell, not from guilt, but from fear. "What do you want? If you dare—dare to touch me, Father will not forgive you."
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the dilapidated temple, growing closer and closer, accompanied by shouts of men: "Listen up, everyone inside! The county magistrate has come in person! No one is allowed to move!"
Qin Zhining's heart sank.
The scumbag dad is here? Hah—like father, like son.
It's no wonder that Qin Youming and Aunt An, that scumbag couple, raised Qin Chengxuan and Qin Zhiyu to be like this.
However, since he dared to openly protect Qin Zhiyu today, then—she was about to completely let loose, seeking revenge against anyone who came her way.
