Chapter 103 Can't even punish a maid?
Su Yan'er came with Han Shu, and Qin Wan knew without guessing that Su Yan'er must have instigated this.
Su Yan'er's purpose was to avenge Nian Qi's disrespect towards her today.
But she clearly remembered that her mother had once told her, "Whatever Wan'er likes, just buy it for her. Whether it's a maid or an object, as long as Wan'er likes it, I will support her!"
But now she brought back a maid, only to have her taken away because of a single sentence from Su Yan'er. All the words they had spoken before vanished like smoke in the wind.
Qin Wan knew that if Nianqi went with her, she would definitely be punished. Even if Nianqi had bought her from the street, not to mention that she was a gift from the Fifth Prince, she would not have given her away so easily.
Qin Wan glanced at Su Yan'er, who was hiding behind Han Shu, with her deep eyes.
Sensing Leng Li's presence, Su Yan'er dared not look directly at him, and timidly hid behind Han Shu.
Han Shu also noticed Qin Wan's unfriendly attitude, so she straightened up, shielded Su Yan'er behind her, and stood in opposition to her daughter.
"Wan'er, this matter has nothing to do with Yan'er. I'm only doing this for your own good!"
It's all for her own good!
She had lost count of how many times they had said such things, claiming it was for her own good, while doing countless things that hurt her.
They even took it for granted that she should accept it.
She didn't want to hear that kind of excuse of slapping someone and not giving them a treat, or saying that eating too many treats would cause a toothache.
He retorted directly, "I bought this maid with my own money, without going through the Marquis's mansion, so she has nothing to do with the Marquis's mansion. You don't need to worry about training her; I will train her myself."
"If you have the time, why don't you properly discipline the person behind you and make her behave herself so she doesn't do anything improper!"
Qin Wan steered the conversation towards Su Yan'er, which made Su Yan'er's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but think of the night she had offered herself to Qin Lang.
At this time, none of them knew that she was doing this to ensure that she could marry into the Pingding Marquis's family.
But her actions were dishonorable and even violated women's morality. She didn't intend to talk about it; it was a secret she kept buried deep in her heart.
If Qin Lang were to say this, she would say that Qin Lang took the initiative, and also make the people of the Pingding Marquis's mansion feel guilty towards her, since it really was Qin Lang who pinned her down that night.
But now that Qin Wan mentioned it, Su Yan'er felt very uneasy. Could it be that Qin Wan knew something?
She wanted to confirm whether Qin Wan really knew, but she didn't dare to look up. She was afraid that Qin Wan would see something from her flustered expression. Rather than testing her, she should hide herself first, since no one else really knew about this.
Han Shu didn't understand what Qin Wan had done, and assumed that Qin Wan was just making up an excuse to avoid revealing the maid's story, so she defended her.
“Yan’er has always been obedient and easy to take care of. But you have caused trouble time and time again. Now you have brought back a maid of unknown origin who does not know manners and talks back at every turn. If this maid is still by your side, something bad will happen sooner or later. I just want to teach you a lesson. Why are you so stubborn?”
Su Yan'er remained hidden behind Han Shu. Although she didn't look at Qin Wan, she was holding back her anger and spoke in accordance with Han Shu's words.
"Fourth Sister, although you bought this maid with your own money, that money was given to you by the Marquis's Mansion. How can you say it has nothing to do with the Marquis's Mansion? Your aunt is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, so she can certainly manage this matter. Your aunt is Fourth Sister's biological mother, how could she possibly harm Fourth Sister..."
As Su Yan'er continued talking, Nian Qi kept her eyes glued to her.
After she returned to the manor with Qin Wan, Wan Shuang told her everything about the situation in the manor, including the adopted daughter who had usurped the place.
She was sent by Xiao Jingyan to protect Qin Wan. Seeing Qin Wan being surrounded and attacked like this, Nian Qi could no longer tolerate it. Taking advantage of the moment when Su Yan'er was speaking, she directly grabbed Su Yan'er's wrist and pulled her out from behind Han Shu.
"I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be such a heartless scoundrel. You eat and live in the Marquis's mansion, and now you dare to slander the Marquis's daughter. The young lady is kind and doesn't hold it against you, but you are so greedy. You take advantage of the little bit of pity the Marquis's mansion has for you and do whatever you want. You are truly shameless."
After saying that, Nianqi suddenly threw Su Yan'er to the ground.
This scene stunned everyone. If Han Shu hadn't been Qin Wan's mother, she really would have wanted to give Han Shu a good beating.
Han Shu was dumbfounded, unable to believe what she was seeing. It was unbelievable that a maid dared to lay a hand on her mistress.
"This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous!" Han Shu shouted, clapping her hands as she signaled to the servants to help Su Yan'er up.
She had initially doubted Su Yan'er's claim about the arrogant maidservant, but now that she saw it, it was indeed true. If such an ill-mannered maidservant were kept in the Marquis's mansion, she would inevitably cause a major incident sooner or later.
"Wan'er, look at this maid you brought back! How dare she lay a hand on her master! A maid like this should be beaten to death!"
Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, her expression full of disbelief, but deep down she felt a little happy.
She disliked Su Yan'er and had long wanted to teach her a lesson, but due to the Marquis's favoritism towards Su Yan'er, she dared not act rashly.
Today, Nianqi's actions were undoubtedly a way for him to vent his anger.
She couldn't bear to have such a useful maid beaten to death. Just as she was about to speak in her defense, Nianqi clasped her hands together, turned to the side and looked up, speaking with firm and fearless words to Han Shu.
“If I were a maidservant of the Marquis of Pingding’s mansion, you could naturally beat me to death, but I am not. I was sent by the Fifth Prince to protect Miss Qin Wan. Only His Highness and Miss can deal with me.”
Nianqi was reminding them that she was someone they couldn't touch.
"His Highness said that I must not only protect Miss's safety, but also uphold her dignity. If I hear anything bad about Miss again in the future, it won't be as simple as it is today. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
Nianqi said this to Su Yan'er, which frightened Su Yan'er so much that tears streamed down her face, her grievance and fear written all over her face.
Qin Wan was somewhat surprised. She had intended not to reveal Nian Qi's identity, but now she had said it herself.
In this way, everything Nianqi did would be at Xiao Jingyan's behest, and would have nothing to do with Qin Wan.
This is undoubtedly pushing Xiao Jingyan into a fire pit.
After witnessing Nianqi's heroic and decisive demeanor, Wanshuang felt immense respect for her, thinking that her mistress needed someone like her by her side.
She's too cowardly. Now that Nianqi is protecting her, let's see who dares to bully her in the future.
Han Shu was surprised to find that Nian Qi was sent by Xiao Jingyan. He was a simple-minded man, and the maid he sent was also so abnormal, which left Han Shu at a loss for how to deal with it.
However, this is the Marquis's residence after all. If she can't handle it, then let the Marquis handle it. She doesn't believe he can't deal with a maid.
"No matter whose people you are, as long as you are in my Marquis's mansion, you must obey my orders!"
