Chapter 79 You can hit me, but you can't hit my fiancée!
"Young Master Qin, this is a sacred Buddhist site. It's not appropriate to make a move here..."
"roll!"
Qin Lang could no longer bear it. Before Xiao Jingyan could finish speaking, he used his other, uncontrolled hand to slap Xiao Jingyan across the face.
Fei Peng, the guard who was watching from the shadows, wanted to rush out when he saw his master being beaten, but he held back because he remembered his master's words.
But when he looked at Qin Lang again, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Jingyan was knocked to the ground, still covered in dust from before, and now he was covered in it again.
It really matched the ink stains on Qin Wan's body.
"Qin Lang, are you crazy? He is the Fifth Prince!"
Qin Wan felt that his recklessness was beyond redemption; he even dared to beat up a prince.
Xiao Jingyan was beaten because of her, so Qin Wan was about to check on his injuries, but before she could get to Xiao Jingyan's side, Qin Lang grabbed her arm.
"He's just a useless prince, is he worth your heartache? Do you really want to be a prince's consort?" Qin Lang said through gritted teeth.
Qin Wan's cold, sharp eyes met his, her reddened eyes filled with hatred, making one feel a pang of pity for her.
"So what if I want to be a prince's consort? My affairs are none of your business, get out!"
"You don't want me to care? I'm your brother. You think you can just abandon me like that?"
Qin Lang didn't give Qin Wan a chance to continue speaking. Taking advantage of Qin Wan's momentary lapse in attention, he raised his hand and delivered a swift chop, knocking Qin Wan unconscious.
When Wan Shuang saw that her young mistress had fainted, she was about to go forward, still tightly holding the medicinal herbs in her arms.
"Miss, Miss..."
Qin Lang ignored Wan Shuang and carried Qin Wan on his back, not forgetting to threaten Xiao Jingyan before leaving.
"Xiao Jingyan, although you are the fifth prince, you are not worthy of Wan'er!"
You'd better not take this marriage seriously. If I ever see you messing with Wan'er again, I'll beat you until you can't stand up, just like I have now!
After saying that, Qin Lang led the unconscious Qin Wan to the hospital. Wan Shuang followed behind, very worried about her young mistress, but she remembered her mistress's instructions to protect the medicinal herbs.
After everyone left, Fei Peng, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out and helped his master up from the ground.
"Your Highness, Qin Lang has gone too far! He actually dared to hit Your Highness. Should I go after him and teach him a lesson?" Fei Peng said as he brushed the dirt off Xiao Jingyan.
"No need, it was just a punch, nothing serious!" Xiao Jingyan licked his inner cheek and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, while hitting him is acceptable, hitting his fiancée is not.
In that instant, Xiao Jingyan's eyes turned fierce, and the aura around him seemed to change as well.
Night falls.
When Qin Wan woke up, she was already in Wanyue Courtyard.
I rubbed my neck, which had been chopped in the hand, and it ached terribly.
Noticing something amiss on the bed, Wan Shuang quickly went over and saw that it was indeed her mistress who had woken up.
"Miss, you're awake. Is anything bothering you? Should we call the physician?" Wan Shuang asked worriedly.
Qin Wan recalled the scene before she fainted, but her biggest worry was the medicinal herbs, so she quickly asked about them.
"Where's the bamboo pendant? Has it been brought back?"
"Don't worry, Miss. I've already given the medicine to the physician, and he should be treating it now!"
Hearing this, Qin Wan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip!"
Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but Wan Shuang was still worried.
“Miss, although the old lady’s medicinal herbs have returned, the second young master has told others about your affair with the fifth prince.”
They also said you deliberately sent them away to meet with the Fifth Prince in secret, that you were trying to curry favor with the powerful and only wanted to become a prince's consort, and that you lacked self-respect...
Even the night cream was too embarrassed to say anything more hurtful.
In short, Qin Lang embellished the story, and Qin Huai and Han Shu were furious upon hearing it, immediately confining Qin Wan to her quarters.
The gates of Wanyue Courtyard are now locked from the outside.
Wan Shuang told Qin Wan everything, including why her masters wouldn't listen to her explanations.
Qin Wan wasn't surprised by this. Normally, if something happened, they wouldn't listen to her explanations, let alone Wan Shuang.
If she's under house arrest, then so be it, so no one will bother her.
I promised Master Qiao I would send him storybooks, and I have to deliver the first one tomorrow, so I can't delay.
Qin Wan was somewhat perplexed by this.
"Miss, what should we do now? I heard that the Marquis is going to petition His Majesty tomorrow to have the imperial decree of marriage rescinded!"
Qin Wan sneered. The imperial edict of marriage was read aloud by His Majesty in front of all the court officials. How could it be taken back so easily?
This is the fastest way for Qin Wan to leave the Marquis's mansion right now. Even if it is taken back, she is unwilling to give up this powerful patron.
After all, based on her observation, Xiao Jingyan should be relatively easy to control.
"Ignore him, His Majesty won't change his mind!"
"Is Miss really going to marry the Fifth Prince? The Fifth Prince is rather..."
"Yes, I want to marry him. Only by marrying him can I fulfill my wish!"
"..."
A while later, at Nanfeng Courtyard.
"Did you hear that clearly? She said it herself, she really wants to marry that fool?" Qin Lang couldn't believe his ears and asked again.
"Yes, I heard it clearly. The Fourth Miss said that she can only realize her wish by marrying the Fifth Prince!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang slammed his fist on the table, blood seeping from his joints.
Does she really want to become a prince's consort?
If marrying the fourth prince doesn't work out, then he's not even going to mind if the man is a fool?
Qin Lang never expected that her sister would be such a person who fawned over the powerful and wealthy.
However, no matter how angry Qin Lang was, he couldn't just stand by and watch his younger sister marry a fool, a fool who had no real power, no backing, and could be bullied by anyone.
"Second Young Master, Master is looking for you!" A servant's voice from outside the door interrupted Qin Lang's thoughts.
"study?"
"No, Master is in Shumei Courtyard, and Madam is there too. It must be something important!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang dared not delay, so he put Qin Wan's matter aside and went to Shumei Courtyard.
Although the New Year had passed, it was still cold outside, and the night wind was still a bit chilly. When Qin Lang arrived at Shumei Courtyard, he was already frozen to the bone. He should have put on his cloak earlier.
"Father, you called for me!" Qin Lang moved closer to the charcoal fire to warm himself.
"It's not me looking for you, it's your mother who has something to say!"
Qin Huai blew a breath of cool air over the tea, and when he felt it was about right, he took a small sip. But it was still too hot, so he put the teacup down again.
"Mother, what is it?" Qin Lang asked.
Han Shu dismissed the servants in the room, then stepped forward with a smile.
"Today I went to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon and asked a master to calculate Yan'er's marriage. The master said that Yan'er is a blessed person, and as long as she forms a bond with him, he will be able to ensure that person's career rises step by step."
They also gave me my birth chart, saying that the person in the chart and Yan'er are a perfect match, complementing each other and are a match made in heaven.
Can you guess who the master said is the person whose birth chart is compatible with Yan'er's?
