Chapter 47 Qin Lang realizes his mistake and apologizes to Qin Wan.
Apologize?
Ha ha!
Qin Wan sneered, interrupting Qin Lang: "Second brother, did you come here just to apologize? If so, there's no need for further explanation!"
Qin Wan didn't want to hear these false words; the harm they had done to her couldn't be healed with just an apology.
Qin Lang frowned and took a step forward.
"Wan'er, your second brother truly didn't know you were kept in Cining Palace because of what happened at Fanlou that day. If your second brother had known, why would he have forced you to go there? Your second brother thought..."
"What do you think? Do you think I was kept in the palace because I said something wrong and displeased the Empress? Because I was outspoken and deserved it?"
Qin Wan guessed correctly; that's exactly what they thought.
But once something is guessed correctly, they are often unwilling to admit it.
"No, that's not it. We thought you really were praying for Grandmother's well-being. We know you care about Grandmother, which is why we mistakenly believed the news from the palace..."
The more Qin Lang talked, the more outrageous it became, and the further he went off-topic it got, making it increasingly difficult to reconcile.
He had never apologized to Qin Wan. In the past, if he made Qin Wan angry, as long as he coaxed her with a few words, Qin Wan would calm down and continue to follow him around, calling him "Second Brother, Second Brother".
This time, however, it seems he can't coax her.
"In short, it was Second Brother's fault this time, Wan'er, please forgive Second Brother!"
Qin Wan paused. This was the first time she had heard Qin Lang apologize so much, which made her feel somewhat unreal.
Based on her understanding of Qin Lang, things were probably not that simple.
As expected, seeing that Qin Wan didn't speak, Qin Lang continued, "Wan'er, this is all your second brother's fault. Your second brother promises not to make that mistake again. Are you calm now, Wan'er?"
"If you've calmed down, could you forgive Yan'er too? Yesterday, Yan'er was punished by Father and confined to the west wing to copy scriptures, but in order to calm you down, Yan'er started a hunger strike."
“She hasn’t eaten or drunk anything since yesterday. No matter how much her mother and elder brother try to persuade her, it won’t work. Yan’er insists that she must get your forgiveness, otherwise she will not forgive herself.”
"Wan'er, Yan'er is our younger sister. Now that you've calmed down, why don't you go to the west wing with your second brother and tell Yan'er that you've forgiven her and ask her to have something to eat?"
Seeing Qin Lang's pleading eyes, Qin Wan realized that her apology earlier was all a prelude to this moment.
How do you know you were wrong?
What will never be repeated.
What second brother?
It was all fake. If Su Yan'er hadn't staged a hunger strike, he probably would never have come back to apologize to her.
Qin Wan's heart sank to the bottom in that instant. For a moment, she even thought he was really apologizing to her. Now that she thinks about it, how ridiculous her idea was.
"What does her hunger strike have to do with me? I didn't tell her to go on a hunger strike. She had better keep her word and starve herself to death. That way, I'll admire her courage. Otherwise, she'll really be despicable!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang's face immediately showed resentment. "Wan'er, Yan'er is our sister, how could you be so heartless?"
“She’s not my sister. My surname is ‘Qin,’ and hers is ‘Su’!” Qin Wan’s tone left no room for argument.
Looking at Qin Wan like this, Qin Lang felt that he had made a mistake in coming. She was no longer the little girl who could be coaxed easily. Now she was full of resentment, as if someone owed her a life.
Qin Lang suppressed his anger and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
“Yan’er once had a father and a family, but Uncle Su sacrificed his life to save our father and to reunite our family, leaving Yan’er without a father.”
Even so, Yan'er never complained. Instead, she tried her best to integrate with us. Even if she were a complete stranger, you should have softened your heart, so why are you so hostile towards Yan'er?
That is true.
However, Su Yan'er was not a stranger. Su Yan'er had deceived everyone. Although she didn't say it, everyone felt guilty towards Su Yan'er.
It was because of this guilt that he indulged Su Yan'er in doing whatever she wanted, hurting her time and time again, and always thinking it was Su Yan'er's fault.
Seeing that Qin Wan remained silent for a long time, Qin Lang pleaded again.
"Wan'er, your second brother has never asked you for anything. Just this once, come with your second brother to the west wing. Just tell Yan'er in front of you that you have forgiven her and ask her to have something to eat."
"I'll give you anything you want. You want that white jade fan in my room? Just go there, and I'll give it to you!"
As he spoke, Qin Lang reached out to take Qin Wan's hand, intending to force her to go to the west wing.
But this time, Qin Wan managed to dodge it.
She hadn't expected Qin Lang to care so much about Su Yan'er's life or death. That white jade fan was something Qin Lang had won in a duel after breaking a rib.
It was the most treasured thing in his room. She had asked him for it many times, but he never gave it to her, and wouldn't even let her touch it.
But now, because of Su Yan'er, he is willing to give her away.
However, Qin Wan no longer wanted it.
"I'm not going. If you have nothing else to do, please leave!"
Qin Lang pleaded desperately, but Qin Wan showed no sign of softening, which angered him. Even if she had a heart of stone, she should have relented after pleading for so long.
Qin Lang had never felt frustrated with Qin Wan before, but this time, he felt utterly defeated, which made him somewhat angry.
"Qin Wan, how could you be so heartless? Yesterday you forced Yan'er to run into a pillar, and today you forced her to go on a hunger strike. Are you trying to drive Yan'er to her death?"
This is Qin Lang's true colors; they've finally been exposed.
Qin Wan met his eyes.
"Did I tell her to run into the pillar? Did I tell her to go on a hunger strike? She doesn't want to live anymore, what does that have to do with me? She didn't eat or drink anything yesterday, why didn't you ask me if I ate anything?"
Qin Lang was taken aback, realizing that Qin Wan had been asleep every time he had come, and that she had only just woken up and probably hadn't eaten yet.
But this is different; she is asleep and expending less energy, while Yan'er is copying scriptures, and her body is probably about to give out.
"Yan'er is already frail; how could she possibly be as resilient as you? You won't starve if you skip a meal, but Yan'er can't; it will harm her health..."
"roll!"
Qin Wan didn't want to listen to him anymore.
She couldn't stop talking about Su Yan'er; it made her sick.
Qin Lang was startled by Qin Wan's outburst, not expecting her to be so angry.
"Qin Wan, are you going or not?" Qin Lang asked one last time.
"I'm not going! Get out!"
Qin Wan spoke with all her might, her eyes filled with hatred.
When his pleas went unanswered, Qin Lang gritted his teeth and said only to Qin Wan, "Fine, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. But you have to go today whether you like it or not!"
After saying that, Qin Lang reached out to grab Qin Wan's wrist. This was his usual trick. Just a second ago he said he wouldn't do it again, but now he was holding her hand again.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Hearing the noise, Wan Shuang rushed in and grabbed something, hitting Qin Lang's arm.
"Let go of the young lady!"
"Go away!"
Qin Lang wanted to kick her again, but Wan Shuang, having learned from the previous two experiences, dodged to the side, causing Qin Lang to miss his kick.
Qin Lang used too much force and stretched his leg, immediately feeling a sharp pain.
Seeing this, Qin Wan bent down and bit Qin Lang's wrist hard.
