Chapter 947 Break Off Relationship!
“Family business?” Annoyed by Countess Yong’s shrewish manner, Old Madam Qin took a few steps forward and said, “If you hadn’t oppressed Yuru, she wouldn’t have come back and complained to Madam Di, and Madam Di wouldn’t have set the fire. God knows what you have done, Madam Shi! He knows who started everything! Then again, don’t you think it too greedy of you to steal money from their dowry shop for so many years, Madam Shi? It is really not what a Madam of a noble family should do!”
Old Madam Qin was in a rage. In the past, Duke Yong’s Mansion always suppressed General’s Mansion. Because of Qin Yuru’s bad reputation, General’s Mansion was always at a disadvantage when facing Duke Yong’s Mansion.
But now, Old Madam Qin fought back regardless of all consequences!
She said harsh words, almost stating that Countess Yong was a shrew and directly pushing all the blame on Duke Yong’s Mansion.
It had never happened in the past three years!
Countess Yong was stunned for a few seconds, and then she also flew into a rage. “Since when do the womenfolk of General’s Mansion dare to talk back?”
“Old Madam Qin, don’t blame us for showing no respect in public! I am afraid that your mansion should take all the responsibilities! And I don’t want to argue about the past, and let’s talk about now! My sister-in-law died in your mansion! She shouldn’t have been burned to death in the daytime unless someone had set the fire! Why don’t you take an investigation but make a fuss about some small things in the past? I doubt whether you deliberately change the topic!
“Old Madam Qin, if you disagree with me and don’t want to be our in-laws anymore, Yuru can divorce our Yan’er! But we won’t give up revenging Sister-in-law!” said Countess Yong peremptorily.
Countess Yong was always respected by Qin’s Mansion, except for the last time when she came to General’s Mansion and apologized for the dowry shop.
At the moment, she was as imperious as usual and used Qin Yuru’s marriage to threaten Qin’s Mansion. She had been making use of it for the past three years!
Countess Yong raised her chin proudly after finishing her words. “I don’t believe that Qin’s Mansion will disregard Qin Yuru! Qin Huaiyong has a son, but the son is too young to be as important as his sister in their father’s eyes. After all, Qin Huaiyong has raised Qin Yuru for so many years!”
Countess Yong’s hostile attitude made Old Madam Qin so angry that she trembled all over. Shao Wanru hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and then she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Qin Yuru on the opposite side with a slight smile. “Countess Yong thinks it is a beneficial excuse, but Qin Huaiyong must fly into a rage if he hears this!”
Qin Yuru lowered her head, as if the quarrel between the two families had nothing to do with her. However, her eyes were full of sarcasm.
“Yes! Just fight!
“It will be best if the two families break up! Grandpa said that only in this way can we reap the benefits!”
Thinking of her newly recognized grandfather and the Grand Prince’s Mansion in majestic splendor, Qin Yuru became excited and clenched her handkerchief.
“General’s Mansion is a young noble family, while Duke Yong’s Mansion is declining. Neither of the two families can be compared with Grand Prince’s Mansion, one of the royal family branches! Even though Grandpa is just a powerless director of the Imperial Clan, he has the title of Grand Prince, so Duke Yong’s Mansion can never bear comparison with his mansion!
“Grand Prince is my biological grandfather! I didn’t meet Father yesterday, but Grandfather was very kind to me. He recognized me after asking me a few questions and reminded me not to act rashly!
“I have nothing to be afraid of with Grand Prince’s Mansion behind me!
“Sure enough, Madam Di’s death helps a lot! When Grand Prince showed a guilty look in front of me, I knew I had made the right decision. In addition, Mother was in such a poor condition, so the earlier she was reincarnated, the better it would be for her. It was not a cruel decision! I just wanted to help her free herself from pain and get some benefits for myself!”
Thinking of this, Qin Yuru couldn’t help feeling complacent and showing a smile on her face. But then she came to her senses and straightened her face in a hurry.
Although she just smiled for a short time, some people caught sight of it.
Shao Wanru had been keeping an eye on Qin Yuru, so she naturally saw the fleeting smile on Qin Yuru’s face, and then she sneered in her heart, “Madam Di is vicious, but Qin Yuru is even more vicious than her mother. Qin Yuru can do anything to get a promotion. Actually, she used to frame Madam Di once before. Therefore, it was not surprising that she did it again!
“Like mother, like daughter!”
Another person catching sight of her secret smile was Qin Huaiyong, who came over in a hurry. Before that, he pondered what Qing Xue had reported to him and what had happened in the past, and then he immediately understood something that didn’t make sense before. “It was not a premature delivery but a normal one. Qin Yuru was born in a relatively big size, and she has always been very healthy. A premature baby would not be like that!”
On thinking that Madam Di had deceived him for so many years and that he had suffered so much in front of Duke Yong’s Mansion, Qin Huaiyong got infuriated.
“If it weren’t for Madam Di and Qin Yuru, I wouldn’t have had to give in and allow such a useless person as Duke Yong to oppress me!”
When hearing the people of Duke Yong’s Mansion and Qin Yuru paid an aggressive visit to his mansion, Qin Huaiyong took a sword from the wall and rashed over. When he arrived and heard Countess Yong’s threatening words, he subconsciously looked at Qin Yuru and saw her smiling.
He couldn’t bear it anymore and lost his temper instantly!
He strode over and pointed with the sword in his hand at Duke Yong, who was silently standing aside.
Faced with a cold sword, even Countess Yong was shocked and pulled Duke Yong back in a hurry. It was all because of Duke Yong that she could be a Countess, so she wouldn’t let anything happen to her husband!
“Brother-in-law, what do you mean?” Countess Yong asked with a cold face.
She wanted to suppress Qin Huaiyong with her attitude, which Duke Yong’s Mansion had commonly adopted in the past three years when they confronted Qin’s Mansion.
Countess Yong was very experienced. “As long as I am tough enough, Qin’s Mansion will finally give in. After all, Qin Yuru is the biological daughter of Qin Huaiyong!
“Qin Yuru is not an adopted daughter like Shao Wanru. Qin Huaiyong will not care about her if she is not his biological child! No one can deny there is a huge difference between a biological kid and an adopted one!”
Qin Huaiyong’s sword followed to point at Duke Yong. Qin Huaiyong’s face was livid, with blue veins bulging on his forehead. If Qin Huaiyong had not been rational, he might have stabbed Duke Yong with the sword.
He was a general but not a scholar who had never seen blood on the battlefield. It was not a big deal for him to kill a person!
Duke Yong was also annoyed. He pushed Countess Yong away and asked harshly, “Brother-in-law, what do you mean?”
“Take her and Madam Di with you. From now on, General’s Mansion no longer has anything to do with your mansion!” said Qin Huaiyong coldly as he shook the sword in his hand and pointed it at Qin Yuru.
This was almost the limit of his restraint.
Old Madam Qin found Qin Huaiyong weird. She wanted to get close to him, but Shao Wanru stopped her, pinching Old Madam Qin’s arm quietly and drawing her back.
Shui Ruolan also noticed that something was wrong with him. She frowned and stood still, staring at Qin Huaiyong, but did not go forward.
Shao Wanru calmly pulled Old Madam Qin to stand beside her.
“Are you out of your mind, Brother-in-law...” Hearing Qin Huaiyong’s words, Duke Yong gasped and was stunned for a moment.
However, he was cut in by Countess Yong. “Brother-in-law, do you intend to break off the relationship between us? Great! That’s also what we want. Since Yuru has come, she doesn’t need to go back with us. We don’t have the good fortune to have such a Miss from your mansion, who has made us lose our title. If you take her back, I can’t wait to buy some firecrackers to clean away the bad luck she brought. But we won’t make a concession in my sister-in-law’s death. Since she married into your mansion, she has helped manage your mansion for so many years and gave birth to a daughter for you. Now, she died without a reason! You have to give us an explanation!” said Countess Yong.
“If we can’t figure it out now, we will report it to the yamen. We two families cannot completely break off the engagement until we find the truth!” Countess Yong became increasingly aggressive. She still didn’t believe Qin Huaiyong would break off the relationship with Duke Yong’s Mansion or abandon Qin Yuru.
“Break off the relationship?” Qin Huaiyong sneered and repeated her words.
“Yes! Di Yan will divorce Qin Yuru after my sister-in-law’s matter is settled. No matter how much your mansion begs us, we will not change our mind!” Countess Yong raised her head high with a sense of superiority, and her manner became more and more hostile.
She was not afraid that Qin Huaiyong would break off!
“What do you think of it, Duke Yong?” Qin Huaiyong still pointed his sword at Duke Yong and asked sharply.
“I agree to break off if you insist on doing this to me!” said Duke Yong angrily. “Qin Yuru is pathetic, but we have to make a decision at this time!” Pointed at by Qin Huaiyong with a sword, Duke Yong had lost his good temper. “How can Qin Huaiyong be so shameless and point a sword at me after my biological sister died in their mansion?”
Duke Yong was so angry that he glared at Qin Huaiyong and gnashed his teeth with a livid face.
“Come and carry Madam Di here!” Qin Huaiyong took a deep breath and shouted at the servant beside him.
The servant hastened to rush away. Soon, two servants showed up with a wooden board, on which was a charred body covered by a white sheet, with one of the hands exposed in the air.
“Sister... Sister!” Duke Yong wailed and wanted to get closer as soon as he saw his sister’s body. But Qin Huaiyong flipped his hand and pointed the sword at Duke Yong on the chest again.
“Take the body away. It’s all yours! And you can cry as much as you like. Never bother me with anything about Qin Yuru. You can deal with her however you want. Your mansion has nothing to do with mine, and we will never contact each other for the rest of our lives!” said Qin Huaiyong by putting stress on almost every word in a clear and fierce tone, making people feel inexplicably guilty.
“Father!” Qin Yuru couldn’t stay calm anymore. She raised her head in a hurry and cried sadly with her tearful eyes fixed on Qin Huaiyong, “Father! Without your care and love, I would rather die here today!”
On finishing her words, she rushed to the trunk on the side!
