Chapter 56 I, Qin Wan, am severing all ties with you, Qin Lang.
Qin Lang paused, giving Qin Wan a chance. If she admitted that she was unaware that the item had been sold, he would forgive her immediately.
He will definitely forgive her as long as she says it wasn't her.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, as if everyone was waiting for Qin Wan to speak.
Wan Shuang bit her lip, her hands gripping the handkerchief tightly. She recalled all the things the second young master had done to the young lady during this time. If the second young master knew that it was the young lady who had ordered the jade hairpin to be sold, he would definitely be angry and would definitely make things difficult for the young lady.
Just as Wan Shuang was struggling with whether or not to accept the offer, Qin Wan spoke up.
"Su Yan'er, your trick of sowing discord is truly ingenious!" Qin Wan's words made Su Yan'er feel utterly ashamed.
She could only pretend not to understand, "Fourth Sister, what are you saying? Yan'er doesn't understand!"
"Don't you understand?" Qin Wan scoffed. "Hmph, you know best what I'm saying..."
Not getting the answer he wanted, and seeing Qin Wan's criticism directed at Su Yan'er, Qin Lang angrily interrupted, "Qin Wan, don't try to change the subject. Let me ask you, did you order this jade hairpin to be sold?"
Qin Wan shifted her gaze from Su Yan'er and said clearly, "Yes, I'm the one who ordered them to be sold!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Wan Shuang's eyes. If her mistress said that she had stolen the item and sold it, she was willing to bear the consequences and was prepared to be punished.
Now that Miss has admitted it, she begins to worry about how the Second Young Master will make things difficult for her.
The last glimmer of hope in Qin Lang's eyes vanished, replaced entirely by rage. She could have easily claimed it was the maid who stole it, but she insisted on admitting it.
They still admitted it without hesitation.
Qin Lang felt as if his heart was being torn apart; he had never felt such pain before.
This jade hairpin held extraordinary significance for him. Even if she had sold other jewelry, he wouldn't have been so heartbroken, but it was precisely this one.
Seeing Qin Lang's anger, which he could no longer conceal, Su Yan'er, fearing a conflict between the two, intervened, saying, "Second brother, calm down. Fourth sister must have her reasons. Otherwise, why would she sell this one instead of other jewelry?"
Su Yan'er's words acted as a fuse, igniting Qin Lang's anger.
"Why? This is what I bought for you with my first military reward. Why are you selling it? Why?" Qin Lang roared, his voice so loud it felt like it would rupture anyone's eardrums.
Qin Wan was forced to retreat repeatedly by Qin Lang, and Su Yan'er tried to stop her, but she couldn't.
She grabbed Qin Lang's arm to stop him from doing anything impulsive, but Qin Lang's anger was already beyond extinguishing, and he violently flung Su Yan'er aside.
Su Yan'er was thrown around and spun around before crashing into a table next to her.
With her back to everyone, a smile quickly flashed across her lips.
It seemed as if she had done all of this on purpose.
"Second Young Master, please stop! This is Wanyue Courtyard. If you take another step forward, I will report what happened today to the Old Madam!" Wan Shuang was determined to protect her young mistress with her life.
The previous times were because she failed to protect the young lady, resulting in the young lady being injured one after another. This time, she can't let her get out of the way even if it means death.
"Since this item has already been given to me, I have the right to dispose of it. Otherwise, how can it be called a gift?"
"I gave it to you so you could wear it on your head, not so you could sell it!" With that, Qin Lang raised one hand and tightly gripped Wan Shuang's neck.
"Qin Wan, aren't you the one who cares most about this maid? You even refused to pin the blame on her just now, which shows how deep the bond is between you and your servant!"
Qin Lang has completely lost his mind; he probably doesn't even know what he's doing anymore.
Evening Frost's feet were already off the ground from being pinched.
Seeing this, Qin Wan panicked and stepped forward to pry Qin Lang's hands off, her eyes wide with fury. "Qin Lang, are you crazy? Let go of Wan Shuang!"
Seeing Wan Shuang nearly suffocate, Qin Wan's heart broke.
She was the person she trusted most in the Marquis's mansion, and the only person she planned to take with her when she left. She absolutely could not let anyone else kill him.
"I'll let her go, but she has to wear this jade hairpin, and she can't take it off even when she sleeps, or else I'll..."
As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed across Qin Lang's face, and he tightened his grip on his fingers.
Qin Wan tried to pry Qin Lang's hands off, but she couldn't. A few days ago they wanted to kill her, and now they wanted to kill the only person she trusted.
Do they really want her to die?
Tears welled in Qin Wan's bloodshot eyes, filled with resentment and unforgivable anger.
If she wanted to save Wan Shuang, she had no choice but to listen to Qin Lang.
Although she didn't want to touch anything they gave her anymore, she had no choice but to now.
Seeing that Wan Shuang seemed to be about to collapse, Qin Wan quickly took the jade hairpin from Qin Lang's hand and inserted it into her hair. She was so anxious to save Wan Shuang that she didn't even care that the hairpin was inserted crookedly.
Seeing that she had done as he had asked, Qin Lang released Wan Shuang.
When he saw Qin Wan throwing herself on Wan Shuang and constantly asking her how she was, he was momentarily dazed.
Does she really not want to wear the things he gave her?
Didn't she like it a lot before?
Why do I have to force myself to put it on now?
Even though Qin Wan had already put it on her head, his heart was not comforted at all; instead, it ached even more.
Having witnessed everything, Su Yan'er hadn't dared to step forward earlier, but now that Qin Lang's anger seemed to have subsided somewhat, she squeezed her way forward again.
"Second brother, you were too impulsive just now. Luckily, it wasn't fourth sister who got hurt."
After saying that, Su Yan'er looked at Qin Wan and comforted her, "Fourth Sister, don't be angry. Second Brother was so angry that he lost his mind when he found out that the jade hairpin had been sold. Now that the jade hairpin has been returned to Fourth Sister, it was a false alarm!"
After saying that, Su Yan'er squatted down, wanting to help Qin Wan, who was squatting next to Wan Shuang, up.
However, before she could even touch Qin Wan's arm, she was scared away by a single look from Qin Wan.
Su Yan'er staggered back a step and fell directly into Qin Lang's arms.
This is clearly intentional.
"Qin Wan, what kind of look is that?" Qin Lang's anger had not yet been completely extinguished.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan handed Wan Shuang to Chun Tao, stood up, and glared angrily at the two fake people.
"From this day forward, I, Qin Wan, sever all ties with you, Qin Lang, and will never allow you, Qin Lang, to set foot in this Wanyue Courtyard again!"
As she spoke, Qin Wan reached out to pull off the jade hairpin from her head, intending to smash it hard on the ground.
But Qin Lang was well aware of her next move, and his voice was even louder than hers, "If you dare to pull out the jade hairpin, I will kill her on the spot!"
For a moment, Qin Wan hesitated. She knew what kind of person Qin Lang was, and she dared not gamble.
Qin Lang saw how obedient she was and how she put her hand down, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
He felt that his relationship with her was beyond repair, no matter how hard he tried.
She just said "severing all ties," but how can they really sever all ties when they are siblings?
Wan'er is just angry now. She's angry that he forced her to wear the jade hairpin. She'll be fine in a few days. She used to say such harsh words when she was angry, but in the end she would still follow him around happily.
Yes, it's the same this time.
Whether frightened by Qin Wan or Qin Lang's roar, Su Yan'er, who had just been comforting others, now shed tears again.
Nestled in Qin Lang's arms, she seemed determined to stay close to him as long as he didn't push her away.
"Second brother, fourth sister, please don't be angry!" Su Yan'er gently tried to dissuade them, her crying appearance making it impossible for anyone to say another word.
However, Qin Wan couldn't stand her hypocrisy and immediately yelled again.
"From this day forward, you, Su Yan'er, will not be allowed to set foot in Wanyue Courtyard again!"
"You two, get out!"
