Chapter 36 Qin Wan is ill

Yes, they used to protect her like that, but what about now?

Every one of them had spoken ill of her. They used to be afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest, but now it seemed that all the harm she suffered was caused by them.

Qin Wan gave a bitter laugh, but could not express the bitterness in her heart.

"I was grateful for your protection before, but what about now? Look at yourselves. If we weren't on the street, would you have attacked me again? If you had helped me up just now, would I have been rescued by the Fourth Prince? Would I have been mocked by Shen Siyi? Would I have received such strange looks from everyone?"

Qin Ye clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged, as if something had violently torn his heart apart.

It was his oversight that he hadn't considered things carefully. If he had known beforehand that Xiao Jingyu and Shen Siyi were in the next room, he definitely wouldn't have booked that private room.

I originally intended to take Qin Wan out for a walk today to help her relax, but things turned out this way.

But he did reach out, he just couldn't grab it. The stairs were flat and there were no obstacles, so how could he have fallen down like that?

Qin Ye found it hard to believe that Qin Wan hadn't done it on purpose, after all, Qin Wan had used similar tactics to throw herself into Xiao Jingyu's arms before.

"This is the street. How can you be so noisy? If you had stood still, would this have happened? We tried to advise you, but you wouldn't listen. Are you trying to force us?" Qin Ye put on his elder brother's airs and scolded him in a low voice.

Qin Wan disliked his arrogant princely attitude the most. "If I hadn't been able to stand firmly, I would have fallen down the moment Shen Siyi pulled me down, instead of arguing with you here."

"You don't punish the culprit, but instead swagger around and bully me, the victim. Is this how you act as brothers?"

Qin Wan lowered her voice, her tone filled with anger, but she still managed to attract the attention of many people.

However, they dared not stop and could only guess what kind of conflict had occurred among the young masters and ladies of the Pingding Marquis's mansion.

Qin Ye was stunned. What?

Shen Siyi secretly tripped her up, so why didn't she say anything earlier?

"Wan'er, are you sure Shen Siyi tripped you on purpose?" Qin Ye asked.

Qin Wan sneered. She didn't want to argue with them anymore. It would be a waste of time to say more. She might as well spend more time talking to her grandmother.

Qin Wan remained silent and turned to leave, but at this moment, Su Yan'er, who had been hiding behind Qin Lang, unexpectedly stepped out and grabbed Qin Wan's sleeve.

"Fourth sister, I'm sorry. I didn't know you tripped over Miss Shen. I thought you did it on purpose. If you're angry, please hit me. Please don't be angry with us brothers!"

Su Yan'er's eyes were brimming with tears, filled with remorse; she was practically kneeling before her.

However, Qin Wan hated Su Yan'er's pretentious act the most. Didn't she say she would hit her when she was angry? Then she would grant her wish.

Qin Wan abruptly shook off Su Yan'er's sleeve, turned around, and slapped her across the face.

However, the slap did not land; Qin Lang stopped it.

"Qin Wan, are you crazy? How could you really hit Yan'er?" Qin Lang shouted.

Actually, Qin Wan had been testing the waters a little just now.

She wanted to test their reaction if she attacked them in front of them, and just as she expected, everyone treated her like an enemy.

Qin Lang shook off Qin Wan and pulled Su Yan'er behind him. "Qin Wan, what happened just now may have been our fault, but what does it have to do with Yan'er? You're unhappy that the Fourth Prince is betrothed to someone else, do you want the whole family to be unhappy with you?"

Qin Lang used considerable force, causing Qin Wan to spin halfway around on the spot. If she had a choice, she would really like to sever all ties with them right now.

"You know I'm upset? Today's fireworks display was prepared for the Fourth Prince and Shen Siyi. You know everything about my past, yet you still dragged me here to watch him with someone else. Do you think it's funny? Or do you think I haven't suffered enough humiliation? If you hadn't insisted on dragging me here today, would what just happened have occurred? Would all of this be happening now?"

Qin Wan retorted with a series of questions, leaving Qin Lang speechless.

Yes, he knew perfectly well that this was Xiao Jingyu and Shen Siyi's fireworks extravaganza, so why did he still drag her along to watch it?

But if Yan'er had refused her outright when she went to find her, why would he have gone to look for her again?

She broke her promise first, and I only brought her over later.

She had previously said that she had no further connection with the Fourth Prince and that she had let go of the past.

Unexpectedly, she was still unhappy. How could she find peace of mind and stop tormenting her family?

Qin Lang had the words of apology on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't say them.

More and more passersby cast their gazes at her, and Qin Wan, not wanting to return to the mansion with them, left on her own.

Qin Lang was worried about her safety and was about to follow her, but Su Yan'er stopped him, "Second brother, I'm sorry, it's all Yan'er's fault!"

"What happened today isn't your fault. She's just upset. She'll be fine in a few days!"

After calming her down, Qin Lang tried to find Qin Wan again, but she was nowhere to be found.

Seeing that Qin Lang had stopped, Su Yan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Won't she be in danger walking by herself?" Qin Lang asked worriedly.

Qin Ye sighed, "It's alright, I've already sent people to follow her, she'll be fine. It's just that it seems we messed things up today!"

“Our original intention was to ease the tension with her over the past few days, but her aggressive attitude was really awful. She was unhappy herself, but she made the whole family unhappy as well. I even got her a ‘peace pendant’ for good, but now I think I was really unnecessary!”

As he spoke, Qin Yi took out the jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Su Yan'er, saying, "Yan'er, Qin Wan is not worthy of having this jade pendant, so I'm giving it to you!"

Su Yan'er didn't want to take it, but Qin Yi had already stuffed it into her hand. First, it was a pair of love knots, then a peace pendant. Why did Qin Wan give her things that she didn't want? Was she just picking up what Qin Wan had left over?

"Thank you, Third Brother!" Although she felt resentful, Su Yan'er still thanked him.

Inside the carriage, everyone remained silent, feeling apologetic for what had happened that day, but each felt they had done nothing wrong; the fault lay with Qin Wan for not making things clear beforehand.

If she denied it, why would Qin Lang come looking for her again? If she immediately said that Shen Siyi tripped her, why would they blame her for doing it on purpose?

Yes, it's all her fault.

Thinking this way made them feel much more at ease.

......

Wanyue Courtyard.

When Wan Shuang saw Qin Wan return, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She looked Qin Wan up and down, and when she saw Wu Shang return, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, I am useless. I failed to protect you!"

This wasn't Wan Shuang's fault, so why would she blame Wan Shuang?

Qin Wan forced a smile and asked, "It's alright, how are your injuries?"

"My injury is nothing serious. The physician prescribed some medicine, which I have already taken!" Wan Shuang supported Qin Wan, noticing that Qin Wan was trembling violently.

"The second young master pulled the young lady away. I thought about going to rescue her, but Qingyan was watching me closely, so I didn't dare to make a move. I was just about to go find the young lady when I met her at the door. Luckily, the young lady is alright, otherwise I would have been in grave danger!"

"Mmm." Qin Wan responded weakly. She didn't want to talk anymore. She was too tired from walking back, and all she wanted to do was sleep.

"Evening Frost, I'm tired, I want to sleep!"

Wan Shuang sensed that something was wrong with her mistress and reached out to touch her forehead.

It's scalding hot.
