Chapter 28 She fainted again.
The evening glow was so frightened that she could barely speak, only kowtowing repeatedly, "Miss, please calm down, I didn't, I'll never dare to do it again..."
Su Yan'er was shocked. What if Wanxia was tortured and revealed that she had asked her to go to Wanyue Courtyard as a spy?
Su Yan'er couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to protect Wanxia. If Wanxia revealed what happened, her carefully cultivated public image would be ruined.
Immediately, Su Yan'er slid off the chair and knelt on the ground. "Uncle, Aunt, Fourth Sister, this is all Yan'er's fault. Yan'er accidentally hurt herself. Wanxia was only trying to protect her mistress, so she spoke nonsense and wronged Fourth Sister. Please, Fourth Sister, have mercy and forgive Wanxia. If Fourth Sister has any grievances, feel free to vent them on me. Please do not punish Wanxia!"
Su Yan'er cried, her face streaked with tears, a truly touching scene of mistress and servant protecting each other.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they had been in a loving relationship as mistress and servant for over a decade.
If this is the case, Qin Wanyue cannot forgive Wanxia. She will not let go of this dog that bites its master, and she will not forgive anyone who has hurt her.
Su Yan'er's pitiful appearance aroused everyone's protective instincts, and Qin Lang, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
"Wan'er, this is a misunderstanding. Wanxia was just trying to protect her mistress, which is why she said something that upset you. Please forgive her for Yan'er's sake!"
Qin Wan sneered. Su Yan'er had a lot of influence after all. When she cried, everyone lost their minds. Even the lowly maid who framed her master could be forgiven. When she cried, it seemed that everyone would break the rules for her sake.
But Qin Wan was determined to stand her ground. "She wronged me and framed me. Why can't I punish her? Wanxia used to be my maid. Now she has betrayed me and is in the West Wing. Who knows, she might betray me one day too. Will you still say the same thing then?"
If it were Su Yan'er who was wronged today, they would probably have torn Wanxia to pieces long ago. How could they forgive her so easily?
Seeing that her own life was in danger, Wanxia placed her last bet on Su Yan'er. She gambled again, hoping that Su Yan'er would be afraid that she would reveal that she had asked her to monitor Qin Wan.
"Miss Yan'er, please save me! I offended the Fourth Miss because of you..."
The sunset didn't say the rest, but Su Yan'er understood that she was threatening her. If she didn't save her, the sunset would reveal that she wanted her to be a spy.
Su Yan'er cried even harder, which was her usual tactic.
"Fourth Sister, Wanxia is now my maid. She wronged you, and it is her fault. I will punish her. Please, Fourth Sister, have mercy and spare Wanxia's life. I will give you a satisfactory answer then!"
Perhaps it was because Su Yan'er had been kneeling for too long, or perhaps she had cried too hard, but she fainted again after saying those words.
Everyone panicked, and blaming gazes fell on Qin Wan.
It seemed to be saying that if she hadn't insisted on pursuing the matter, Yan'er wouldn't have fainted.
Han Shu also looked disappointed: "Wan'er, what happened today was indeed your fault. Yan'er doesn't blame you anymore, so why are you still forcing her like this? She's already weak, and now that she's fainted, who knows when she'll wake up. When will you stop being so domineering?"
After saying that, Han Shu followed the others. After all, Su Yan'er fainting was a big deal, while being wronged was a small matter.
The front hall, which was just full of people, is now empty except for Qin Wan and Chun Tao.
Chun Tao got up from the ground and helped Qin Wan, who was struggling to support herself. Although she was a maid, she understood that this was not her mistress's fault. If Wanxia hadn't hugged her mistress, and if they had gone to Wanyue Courtyard, this would not have happened.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Qin Wan shook her head, supporting herself on the table with her hands; she felt so tired.
The maid falsely accused her master, and in principle, she should be punished according to family law and expelled from the mansion. Her request was reasonable, but how did Su Yan'er's intervention turn it into her being domineering?
Why is it so difficult for her, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, to deal with a maid?
The snow outside was already quite thick. Qin Wan walked on the snow, and the cold wind blew by, but it couldn't compare to the chill in her heart.
As Qin Wan approached the entrance of Wanyue Courtyard, she saw Wanxia waiting there.
"Miss, you're back!" Seeing Qin Wan's distraught appearance, Wanxia knew that they must have bullied the young lady again.
Qin Wan walked into her own courtyard. "Has Grandmother heard about this?"
Wan Shuang replied, "This servant just went to inquire, and the matter was suppressed by the Marquis and has not been reported to Jingxin Courtyard. The Old Madam is still unaware of this matter!"
Wan Shuang thought to herself, "Now, only the old lady in the Marquis's mansion is on the young lady's side. If I tell the old lady, she will definitely uphold justice for the young lady."
But Qin Wan said, "Grandmother is unwell and it's good that she doesn't know about this. You must not tell her!"
Evening Frost paused, wanting to offer a few more words of advice, but she held back. "Yes!"
Wan Shuang wanted to help Qin Wan rest, but Qin Wan refused, saying, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've gotten up so late. The injured areas must be very painful. You should rest for the next few days before you help me!"
With red eyes, Wan Shuang realized that it was all her fault. If she hadn't been injured and unable to serve Miss, Wan Xia wouldn't have come to her door, and none of this would have happened.
She felt guilty and shed tears as she looked at the evening frost.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"
Qin Wan wiped away Wan Shuang's tears and comforted her, "What does this have to do with you? If they want to cause trouble, they'll always find an excuse. It just so happens that you were injured today, otherwise they would have had other reasons!"
Qin Wan knew that Wan Shuang had vomited a lot of blood at the palace doctor's, and that her injuries were not serious. Not daring to delay her rest any longer, she forcefully pushed her out.
The next morning, the snow started falling intermittently again.
The servants swept the road, and a thin layer of snow fell again.
Just as Qin Wan sat up, Chun Tao walked in, carrying something that looked like a porcelain bottle.
"Miss, this is a scar removal cream sent by the madam. She also said that you should apply it to prevent the wound from leaving a scar!"
Qin Wan looked at the small bottle in Chun Tao's hand and knew that it was the leftover from Su Yan'er's visit that was sent to her.
Otherwise, why would it take so long to send her this scar removal cream after she's been injured for over ten days?
She hadn't originally planned to get scar removal cream for herself; she just happened to get it on the side.
"Let's put it aside!"
"Yes!"
Qin Wan got up. She had had nightmares all night and was covered in cold sweat, which soaked the bedding.
She still remembers the scene in her dream, the scene she experienced at Leishan Temple, which has now become her nightmare, a nightmare she can't shake off.
Just then, a maidservant announced from outside, "Miss, Granny Sun has arrived!"
Qin Wan paused, a vague unease creeping into her heart. Why was Granny Sun here? Could it be that her grandmother already knew about what happened last night?
Sure enough, after we quickly invited her in, Granny Sun said, "Fourth Miss, the Old Madam knows about what happened last night. She sent me to ask if you suffered any grievances last night."
