Chapter 82 Knocked her unconscious and took her out of the mansion.
A chill ran down Qin Wan's spine, and she felt even more strongly that she could no longer stay in the Marquis's mansion.
But she had to go out today; Xiao Jingyan was waiting for her outside, and she couldn't break her promise.
But before Qin Wan could protest, Qin Lang directly ordered, "Lock the Fourth Miss in the woodshed. She is not to be released without my order!"
"Qin Lang, you bastard, I have important business to attend to today, let me go..."
No matter how much Qin Wan struggled, the old women showed no intention of letting go and dragged her directly towards the woodshed.
The more Qin Wan struggled, the angrier Qin Lang became. What important thing could she possibly have to do? It was nothing more than a secret rendezvous with that fool.
I didn't say anything to her last time because I wanted to save her face. I thought that she had been staying quietly in the courtyard these past few days because she knew she had repented and was even thinking of going to see that fool.
Does she really want to become a prince's consort?
Qin Wan's voice grew softer and softer until, after being dragged into the woodshed, he could only hear faint sounds.
Qin Lang had people stationed all around, so not even a mouse could get out.
The commotion must have been too loud, because Han Shu rushed over and could vaguely hear knocking on the door as she looked towards the woodshed.
"Lang'er, what happened? Who was dragged in just now? Why does that voice sound so much like Wan'er's?" Han Shu asked.
Qin Lang glanced in the direction of the woodshed, and after watching the old woman lock the door, he sighed deeply.
He replied, "It was her. She disguised herself as a man and tried to meet Xiao Jingyan in secret, but I stopped her!"
"what?"
Han Shu was stunned. After Qin Lang told her about Leishan Temple last time, she thought it was a misunderstanding or that it had been corrected. She never expected that Qin Lang would dress up as a man and go out for a secret rendezvous today.
Although she and the Fifth Prince are engaged, they are not yet married. Isn't she afraid of being seen when she sneaks out to meet someone?
Her lack of self-restraint sets her apart from the Marquis's mansion; if word gets out, people will surely say that the mansion is poorly disciplined.
"She's so audacious! We absolutely mustn't let her go today!" Han Shu said worriedly.
The arranged marriage had already put the Marquis's mansion in the spotlight; if anything went wrong at this time, the mansion would truly become the target of public criticism.
"Mother, you don't need to worry about this. I know what to do. Grandmother is not well, so don't let her know about this!"
"Mother understands, but Wan'er is still your sister, don't be too harsh!"
"I know, I know what I'm doing!"
Han Shu glanced at the woodshed again, her expression turning to disappointment.
Teahouses in the city.
Xiao Jingyan waited in the teahouse, but the once hot fried tofu had gone completely cold.
This was a newly discovered snack of his, and it tasted delicious. He bought it to let her try it, but he waited for a long time and no one came.
She must have been delayed by something; let's wait a bit longer.
Night fell.
Xiao Jingyan waited from day to night, but Qin Wan still did not come.
"Your Highness, the storybook has been delivered to Master Qiao as you instructed!" Fei Peng walked to Xiao Jingyan's side, sat down, and touched the teapot in front of him, which was now ice-cold.
"Waiter, bring me another pot of hot water!" Fei Peng called out.
"okay!"
After the shop assistant responded, he took the teapot away, glanced at Xiao Jingyan as he turned around, and shook his head helplessly.
Another devoted lover!
"Your Highness, has Miss Qin not arrived yet?" Fei Peng asked.
Xiao Jingyan kept looking in the direction of the Marquis's residence, wondering if she had already arrived but he hadn't seen her.
"Didn't anyone see her? And no one else saw Miss Qin either?"
"No, could something have happened at the Marquis's residence?" Fei Peng wondered.
"Any news?"
"When I came over just now, I saw Second Young Master Qin and Fourth Prince together. They looked like they were drunk. Could Fourth Miss Qin be involved?"
Xiao Jingyan was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Qin Ye usually the one who was close to Xiao Jingyu? Why was he drinking with Qin Lang today? Could it really be related to Miss Qin?
"Keep an eye on them!"
"I have already made the arrangements. Does Your Highness wish to continue waiting?"
It was getting late, and there were very few people on the streets. Only Xiao Jingyan's table remained in the teahouse.
Seeing the waiters waiting to close up shop, Xiao Jingyan stood up.
"I'm not waiting any longer!"
After saying that, he left the teahouse.
at the same time.
Drunk, Qin Lang staggered to the woodshed, where there was no sound.
The old woman guarding the gate pointed into the woodshed, then shook her head, indicating that Qin Wan had not gone out.
After opening the door, Qin Wan was indeed still inside.
However, the woodshed was in complete disarray.
Qin Lang dismissed everyone and went in alone. Seeing Qin Wan huddled in a corner, he swayed as he approached.
She was very puzzled. She knew that her family was against the marriage and were trying to find a way to break it off for her. Why was she still shamelessly having an affair?
Why does she insist on going against her family? When did she become so disobedient?
"Wan'er..."
"Snapped!"
Before Qin Lang could finish speaking, Qin Wan raised her hand and slapped him across the face, this time with all her might.
The pain brought him to his senses somewhat.
"Qin Lang, you bastard, you ruined my plans, you'll die a horrible death!"
Qin Lang sneered. He ruined her plans by not letting her go on the secret rendezvous, and then he hit her.
The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached. This wasn't the first time she had hit him for another man.
"Xiao Jingyan is nothing but a useless prince. You really want to marry him? You really want to be a prince's consort?" Qin Lang's eyes were bloodshot, seemingly glistening with tears.
Qin Wan clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in hatred, "I just want to marry him! I just want to be a prince's consort!"
"Wan'er, please wake up! He's just a useless prince. You won't be happy marrying him. He can't protect you!" Qin Lang grabbed Qin Wan's arms and shook her body repeatedly, trying to awaken the last bit of her sanity.
What they didn't understand was that Qin Wan wanted to marry Xiao Jingyan not for the position of a prince's consort, but to leave the Marquis's mansion and these so-called family members.
Qin Wan shifted her body slightly, breaking free from Qin Lang's grasp. "His Majesty has already bestowed the marriage upon us. This marriage is a done deal and cannot be changed. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I am determined to marry Xiao Jingyan!"
Qin Lang's last shred of reason was shattered by Qin Wan's words. She was his sister; how could he possibly stand by and watch her jump into a fire pit?
"Forget about it. I won't let you marry that good-for-nothing. Although it's a marriage decreed by His Majesty, there's still room for negotiation!"
Qin Wan was puzzled. She knew Qin Lang had been drinking, but she didn't understand what nonsense he was spouting. This matter was decided by His Majesty in front of all the court officials. What room for maneuver was there?
Just as she was about to ask, Qin Lang raised his hand and knocked her unconscious again.
The next second, Qin Wan was stuffed into a cloth bag, and she offered no resistance while unconscious.
And so Qin Lang carried her on his back and out of the Marquis's residence.
