Chapter 90 The anxiety I felt finally died down
Qin Ye had been on military campaigns for many years and had taken in four adopted sons.
Each of them was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely brave.
In my youth, I was loyal, courageous, and fearless.
He was also a capable general that Qin Ye had prepared for Qin Ziyi long ago!
The battlefield is unpredictable, and soldiers always risk their lives.
He might die in battle one day.
Parents' love is deep, and their plans are far-reaching.
I never imagined that it would be the case that the elderly would outlive their children.
Apart from Qin Ye, all the male members of the Qin family have died.
Only Qin Jinzhi, still an infant, remained as the sole survivor.
Qin Ye sent the most intelligent Xue Huaiyi back to the capital to take care of Qin Jinzhi.
The remaining three illegitimate sons were given even more important roles.
Especially the eldest brother, Li Muli.
He had followed Qin Ye the longest, and gradually, his subordinates stopped calling him general.
Instead, he became the young master!
The Prince of Zhenbei's mansion now only has a young princess left.
How did a woman take command of the million-strong Zhenbei Army?
When the old prince passes away, Li Muli will be the most likely person to take over the Zhenbei Army.
At first, Li Muli was still declining.
But as power grows and the time spent in power increases, so does ambition.
yes!
The Qin family only has one girl left!
Could that pampered little princess possibly go to the battlefield?
How could a little girl command an army of millions!
He had a deep bond with Qin Ye, his son. If he were to take over the Zhenbei Army, wouldn't that be a kind of succession?
Over time, Li Muli truly came to believe that he was destined to be the next master of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion!
Dian Fengyang and Fu Yuanzhong followed in their elder brother's footsteps.
Even Xue Huaiyi, not long ago, considered himself the master of the Prince's mansion.
Even the guards of the Prince's mansion only listened to Xue Huaiyi.
Ultimately, it's just because they think the Qin family has no one to carry on the family line.
Dian Fengyang never expected that Qin Jinzhi would disregard their dignity as elders!
They had followed their adoptive father for many years, and their status had risen accordingly. They had never been treated so disrespectfully before!
Dian Fengyang's face was full of anger. "Jinzhi! How dare you speak to your elders like that? In all these years, has all you learned in the capital been to disobey your elders? It's just a flower. My elder brother has already said he will compensate this young lady. Why are you so relentless?"
Xue Huaiyi's eyes were practically twitching; why was his second brother getting so worked up?
Seeing that Dian Fengyang's words were getting increasingly heated, he gently stopped him, "Second Brother, you must not be rude to the Princess!"
He tried to pull him aside, but Dian Fengyang shoved him away. "Fourth brother! I think you've lost your mind! As an elder, you don't teach her anything, and you even let her bully your elder brother like this! I'm so disappointed in you!"
Xue Huaiyi was heartbroken. "Second brother, I saved you!"
Qin Jinzhi, however, seemed to have become interested, and looked intently at Dian Fengyang, saying, "General Dian, are you trying to say that I, the princess, was born of a mother but raised without one, or that my imperial grandfather and grandmother failed in their upbringing?"
Upon hearing this, Dian Fengyang immediately panicked and said, "I absolutely did not mean that!"
Qin Ziyi died for his country. If this gets out, how can he maintain morale in the army? How dare he say that the emperor and empress failed in their teaching? He has no brains!
Qin Jinzhi casually got up and walked over, "But I think you're right!"
Her tone remained unchanged, but her foot was already on Li Leyao's hand.
"ah!!!!!"
Li Leyao screamed in pain, but dared not pull her hand away!
She was afraid that Hibari, who had been standing right next to her, might suddenly cut off her arm!
Li Muli quickly said, "Please forgive my daughter, Princess!"
If his hand is crippled, how will his daughter ever get married?
After all this time, he finally figured it out.
This is the princess reminding him not to forget his place!
Otherwise, Xue Huaiyi wouldn't have reminded him so many times!
Since the godfather has remained silent for so long, it is clear that he will not get involved in this matter.
No matter how bad the princess's reputation is, she is still the only heir of the Qin family!
Moreover, Qin Jinzhi has the Emperor and Empress backing her up!
Qin Jinzhi looked at him leisurely:
"I said, she crippled one of my servants' hands, so she has to compensate me with one of my hands."
My grandfather couldn't eat the trampled flowers, so she had to eat them.
General Li, this is an order, not a discussion.
What makes you think a dog has the right to bargain with its owner?
Qin Jinzhi utterly disregarded the dignity of everyone in the courtyard!
She actually said that Li Muli was just a dog of the Qin family!
Li Muli trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do!
Qin Jinzhi glanced lazily at Dian Fengyang, whose face was equally unpleasant.
"However, I'm a person of my word."
As for whose hand it is, or who ate the flower, I don't care.
"If General Dian wishes to take the blame, then please do so."
Yun Que threw the sword in her hand in front of Dian Fengyang.
Dian Fengyang stood frozen in place, unsure of how to react.
If it were anyone else, he would have just slashed them with his sword!
But this is the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion. If he were to fight with the only son of the Qin family here!
He has no future!
Li Leyao finally realized the enormity of her mistake.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "Princess, it's all my fault! I accept the punishment! Please don't blame my father and second uncle, I'm willing to give them my hand in return!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction, "You have certainly lived up to the spirit of a daughter of a military family, Commander Xue."
Xue Huaiyi walked over with his sword, feeling somewhat reluctant, but still didn't say anything.
Qin Jinzhi smiled slightly, "Commander Xue, you should call him Fourth Uncle. He was highly respected in the army and made countless contributions with his swift sword. Let him do it, you won't feel any pain."
Li Leyao closed her eyes in anguish; she knew she couldn't escape this fate!
Xue Huaiyi clenched his fist and raised his sword.
Dian Fengyang immediately shouted, "Fourth brother! Are you really going to aid and abet the wicked? Le Yao is your niece!"
Xue Huaiyi sighed. Why was his second brother so stubborn?
Just then, a voice rang out.
"I am willing to take the blame for my daughter."
Li Muli picked up the sword from the ground and pointed it at his right hand.
Qin Jinzhi said excitedly, "Is this what it feels like to have parents protecting you? It's wonderful! General Li, let this ill-mannered bastard with no parents experience it!"
Madman! Madman!
Almost everyone present had only one thought in mind!
The young princess is a madwoman!
"father!"
"Big brother!"
Li Leyao's and Dian Fengyang's voices rang out at the same time.
Li Leyao grabbed Qin Jinzhi's ankle with her other hand, "Princess! Princess! It's all my fault! If you want to cut off something, cut off my hand! My father still has to lead the troops, his hand can't be harmed! Please! Cut off my hand!"
Dian Fengyang could no longer hold back and turned around to call out, "Godfather!"
Qin Ye was nowhere to be seen in the reception room.
Where did my godfather go?!
Qin Jinzhi was even more excited. "This is so moving! I'm almost in tears! General Li, let's get started! I can't wait!"
"No! No! Father, no!"
Li Muli suddenly thrust his sword into his right hand.
"etc!"
Just as the sword was about to pierce Li Muli's palm, Qin Jinzhi suddenly shouted to stop.
Just when everyone thought Qin Jinzhi was going to let the matter go and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Jinzhi's devilish voice rang out, "Your daughter is right. You still have to lead troops. What if you hurt your right hand? Use your left hand instead. This is your daughter's filial piety. General Li can't let her down!"
The anxiety that had been building up inside everyone finally died.
Qin Jinzhi is like a demon who manipulates people's hearts!
It squeezed everyone's spirit and heart terribly!
