Qin Huaiyuan sat tiredly at the old madam's bedside, his back leaning against the bedpost. As he waited for Qi Tai's arrival, he didn't want to look at Qin Huining, much less say a word to Qin Huining.
Qin Huining curled up on the ground. Every breath seemed to pull at the wounds on her skin and flesh. She was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She looked pleadingly at Qin Huaiyuan, hoping that Qin Huaiyuan would show some concern.
However, Qin Huaiyuan didn't say a word.
On the side, Second Madam, Third Madam, and the young ladies of the second and third branches were all silent out of fear when they saw this situation.
They wanted to leave, but they were afraid of offending the old madam. If they didn't leave, they felt that it wasn't wise to get involved in the eldest branch's rotten debt.
While they were in a dilemma, a maidservant came back and forth from the corridor. "Marquis, Qi Tai is here."
"Let him in." Qin Huaiyuan stood up and walked to the screen with his hands behind his back.
After Qi Tai entered, he didn't go to the inner room. Instead, he stood outside the screen with his head down and listened to orders. "Marquis."
"En. There are three things. First, tidy up my manor in the suburbs and order people to guard it strictly. Huining's daughter is infected with an epidemic. Send all of Snow Pear Courtyard's master and servants to quarantine. No one is allowed to visit without my permission. Second, investigate the origin of the voodoo doll. Once it's confirmed who did it and how they framed it, there's no need to come back to me. Directly chop off their hands and send them to the authorities. Third, contact the Health Preservation Hall. Continue to investigate the matter that was put on hold. "
"Yes." Qi Tai swiftly responded and turned to leave.
The room was silent. Everyone looked at Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Huining with complicated and difficult to distinguish expressions.
As soon as Qin Huining heard Qin Huaiyuan's first sentence, her body was already trembling like a leaf in the wind. When she heard the last sentence from the Health Preservation Hall, she was already sweating like rain.
"Father, father." She thought she was shouting very loudly, but her voice was like a mosquito's buzzing. She could only tremble as she grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's robe.
"Father, I'm your daughter, the daughter you've raised for fourteen years! Now that you've found Qin Yining, why don't you care about me anymore? I have not contracted any disease, so why do you want to send me to the farmstead to avoid the disease? I won't go, I won't go. If I go, I won't come back. I won't go! "
Qin Huaiyuan looked down at Qin Huining. His voice was so calm that it didn't seem to contain any anger. "Sister Hui, you really disappoint me."
Qin Huining abruptly raised his head and met Qin Huaiyuan's serene face, his eyes as deep as the ocean.
For a moment, she only felt that everything about her had been seen through. It was as if she had been stripped naked and paraded on the streets.
"I didn't! I was framed! I didn't make the doll, it wasn't me! "
"Although you're not my daughter, you've grown up in front of me for fifteen years. I understand your character. There's no need for you to quibble now. Since you feel that my Family Qin has treated you badly and unfairly, then you should leave the Family Qin. Since you feel that my wife isn't worthy of being your mother, then you shouldn't call me father in the future. As for the person who made the voodoo doll, it better not be you. If it was you, I'm afraid that you'll lose your hands in the future, and your life will be very difficult. "
Qin Huaiyuan's announcement came out of nowhere. Although his voice was as calm as water, it still formed a perilous wave in Qin Huining's life. All the honor and glory that she had piled up and hidden in the past were washed away.
Qin Huining suddenly realized how stupid she had been.
In the face of Qin Huaiyuan's absolute authority, everything that she had managed was nothing more than a fortress made of sand. While she was feeling complacent, others could destroy it at any time with a single wave.
"Father, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I didn't feel that the Family Qin had treated me badly. I just couldn't accept … "
"You couldn't accept it. You were jealous. You felt that Sister Yi had taken everything away from you, right?" Qin Huaiyuan asked gently.
Qin Huining was speechless for a moment.
Qin Huaiyuan said, "You were indeed innocent when you were brought here, but do you know what your original family was like?"
Qin Huining was sweating profusely. Sure enough, they had found her original family a long time ago! Otherwise, Qin Yining wouldn't have been so certain just now! Did they want to send her away a long time ago?!
"You took Sister Yi's position and enjoyed 14 years of wealth, yet you feel that you're innocent? The one who was truly innocent was Sister Yi. She was the one who had her happy life taken away from her. You were the one who was saved from trouble. You were very smart, but you were too smart and too selfish. You only felt that you were innocent when you were brought here, but you didn't think that the wealth you received in my Family Qin was compensation from the heavens. "
"Father, I was wrong. Don't send me away …"
"Since you call my wife Madam, then you can call me Marquis." Qin Huaiyuan said, "My Family Qin has treated you well, yet you don't know how to be grateful. You don't remember your mother's kindness in raising you. It's really disappointing. You can go to the farmstead and stay there for a while. When the matter of the voodoo doll is resolved, I will let you meet your biological parents. Don't you feel that the Family Qin has been hard on you? At that time, if you want to go back to your own family, then you can go back. "
After Qin Huaiyuan finished speaking, he took out the robe that was tightly held by Qin Huining. He cupped his hands towards the matriarch and said, "Mother, your son hasn't slept all night. I'm going to sleep for a while."
The matriarch had already been shocked to the extreme by Qin Huaiyuan's words.
After listening carefully, she felt that his words were reasonable.
Although she didn't like Qin Yining, because she was too smart and hard to control. However, she deeply abhorred Qin Huining's ingratitude.
Listening to Qin Huaiyuan's meaning, he planned to send Qin Huining away.
The matriarch frowned as she looked at the person lying on the ground and crying bitterly. Thinking that this granddaughter had been by her side since she was young, she couldn't bear it.
"Meng Ge 'er, let's postpone the matter of Yangsheng Hall."
Qin Huining only cared about crying. When he heard the matriarch's words, he suddenly remembered that his grandmother could suppress his father. For a moment, his heart was full of hope. He rolled and crawled to the front of the bed and continuously kowtowed to the matriarch.
"Grandmother, save me. I don't have an epidemic disease. I won't go to the farmstead! Grandmother, I didn't make a doll to harm you! I'm innocent! "
The matriarch rubbed her aching forehead.
Qin Huaiyuan had already taken a step forward and said, "The matter of avoiding the disease must be done. I can't tolerate a disorderly child being raised at home. As for the matter of voodoo, if someone really intends to harm the matriarch, I definitely won't tolerate it. Let's leave it like this. "
Under Qin Huaiyuan's unyielding decision, the matriarch didn't have any leeway to refute. When she thought that Qin Huining might really make a voodoo doll to harm her in order to harm the Sun Clan and Qin Yining, the matriarch's heart felt cold.
"Forget it. Let's do as the marquis says." The matriarch said in a clear voice, "Lujuan, take some people to help Huining tidy up."
Mammy Qin secretly sighed in relief and smiled in response, "Yes." Finally, this shit-stirrer was sent away. They, the servants, could also live some peaceful days.
Qin Huining stood up with the help of the servants. His legs were as soft as noodles.
The people from the second branch and third branch, including the sixth young miss, who was usually the closest to Qin Huining, couldn't intervene in the matriarch's matter at this time.
Qin Yining and the Sun Clan were in Xingning Garden. When they heard that people from Xueli Courtyard had been sent to the farmstead, they were truly shocked.
