Qin Mufeng panicked after Qin Muxue's eyes stared intimidatingly into hers. She only felt that the b*tch's eyes were filled with an imposing aura that she had never seen before. Somehow, she loosened her grip on the corner of her clothes.
Qin Muxue smiled faintly. Qin Mufeng was forced to take two steps back, cowed by her powerful aura.
"How dare you!" Qin Lei's face was full of anger.
"How can you talk to your sister like that!"
"Am I wrong?" The blood on the corner of Qin Muxue's mouth hadn't dried yet.
"Does Father also think that His Majesty's bestowment of marriage was wrong? That I don't deserve to marry His Highness? Does Father also want to defy His Majesty's orders?"
Qin Lei was so angry that he had nothing to say. Since when did this burden of the Qin Family become so eloquent? Before this, she didn't even dare to make her voice known. She could only lower her head and listen to his admonishments!
"Oh, Ms. Qin!" Ou Yangnian quickly came out to smooth things over. "Young Miss, what are you talking about? It's the honour of our Qin family to be granted marriage by His Majesty! Don't say such things again! It's hard to explain if someone else hears it!"
Ou Yangnian pulled Qin Mufeng back to her side and stood in front of her to protect her daughter.
Then, she said, "Mufeng doesn't mean that! Mufeng is saying that since the Young Miss and Prince Ding have already agreed to the marriage, she should naturally keep herself pure for him. With what happened tonight..."
Qin Lei flung his arm out, the wind flapping his sleeves and said, "It's all your doing! Since you like being with servants so much, you might as well choose a servant in this house and marry him! Leave the capital city! You won't be the daughter of the Qin family anymore!"
Before Qin Muxue could speak, Ou Yangnian was already simpering and pretending to be merciful.
"Old Master, after all, she is your daughter. Isn't it a little too much to do this..."
"Too much?" Qin Lei pointed a finger at Qin Muxue, and his hands began to tremble in anger.
"Now everyone in this household knows what she has done! Can we marry her off to King Ding? When His Majesty finds out, who will take the blame?"
Qin Muxue sneered and said, "If Father can't afford to take the blame, sust say it."
"You!" In the past, Qin Lei only felt that Qin Muxue was a coward. He felt that with the Qin family's status, even if they kept her for the rest of her life, it wouldn't matter.
But today, she talked back to him again and again. He couldn't say anything but the word "my unfilial daughter".
"You kept saying that I had an affair with that servant. Do you have any evidence?" Qin Muxue looked at everyone in the room one by one. Qiu Ju was shocked and felt a chill run down her spine.
Qin Mufeng said, "You were caught in the act! What other evidence do you need?"
"Why do I remember that?" Qin Muxue raised her eyebrows.
"You!" Qin Mufeng looked at her ugly face which was smiling. He was instantly furious.
Qin Muxue continued, "When Father came in, he didn't ask me why I had scars all over my body, nor did he ask where the servant got those silver needles from.
Father just jumped to conclusions to slander my innocence. I want to ask, Father, why didn't I treat my injuries first and instead sought pleasure from someone else?"
"Alright, even if I don't care about the injuries on my body," Qin Muxue said as she glanced at Qin Mufeng with a smile.
"Why would I use silver needles to stop him from doing the deed?"
"Who knows what kind of secret fetishes you have!" Qin Mufeng shouted at her, but in the end, her reasoning was not solid enough.
"Enough!" For the first time, Qin Lei turned his anger to Qin Mufeng. Qin Mufeng was shocked and stopped talking.
Hearing this, seeing the look in Qin Muxue's eyes, and hearing Qin Mufeng's words, how could Qin Lei not understand what was going on?
Qin Lei looked at Qin Mufeng. This was his eldest daughter, and she was also now the daughter of his main wife. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very talented. If Qin Muxue was the joke of the Qin family, then Qin Mufeng was the glory of the Qin family.
The reason why Qin Lei had turned Ou Yangnian into his main wife was that she had given birth to a son, Qin Muyu. More importantly, it was because of Qin Mufeng, who had a shining reputation.
Qin Mufeng had been doted on by the family since she was young. She was proficient in all kinds of instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also known as the most talented doctor in the capital.
The Empress had even taken a liking to Qin Mufeng and wanted to marry her to the Crown Prince, Song Yichu. However, Qin Mufeng himself admired Prince Ding, also named Song Yihuai.
Qin Lei initially thought he would have an opportunity to ask His Majesty to betroth his precious daughter to Prince Ding. Who knew that before he could say anything, His Majesty would suddenly bestow a marriage to the ugly Qin Muxue to be the wife of Prince Ding?
How could Qin Mufeng not be anxious?
Thinking of this, Qin Lei's anger dissipated a little. In his eyes, Qin Mufeng was the most gentle and kind. If she had not been forced to go to such lengths, how could she have come up with such an idea to frame Qin Muxue? The whip mark on Qin Muxue's body was just because Qin Mufeng was desperate, so she hit her twice.
Judging from the situation where Qin Muxue was so presumptuous in front of him today, perhaps she was the instigator who had angered his baby, Mufeng on purpose!
"From today on, you will stay here and think about your wrongdoings! Not one foot out of the door until the wedding ceremony begins!" Qin Lei said, "Where is Tao Su? She will keep an eye on you. If you do anything else, you just wait!"
Qin Muxue was so angry that she almost laughed. As expected, her scumbag father never failed to exceed her expectations.
"Daddy!" Seeing that her plan had failed, Qin Mufeng immediately became anxious. How could she let go of Qin Muxue just like that?"Mufeng!" Qin Lei touched her head with his hand and comforted her. "Go back and have a rest. It's late. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Seeing that there was no hope for her plan, Qin Mufeng could only glare at Qin Muxue and leave the yard helplessly.
After everyone left, Qin Muxue finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, everything went dark before her eyes and she fell to the ground in a daze.
"Miss!" At this time, Tao Su was also released and came back. She happened to see Qin Muxue, who was covered in blood and lying unconscious on the ground.
