Chapter 335 She Wants Her to Pay with Her Life
At the Marquis's residence, Xie Wanning woke up early.
When the maids came in to serve her, she was already sitting in front of the dressing mirror, staring blankly at her own face in the mirror.
Hearing footsteps, Xie Wanning didn't move, but asked in a low voice.
"Grandma still won't let me leave the room today?"
The maid dared not say more and only responded softly, "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Wanning became furious, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up.
"Are they really going to lock me up until my coming-of-age ceremony? Are they determined to drive me to my death?"
She's the one getting married, what business is it of theirs!
Mind your own business!
Xie Wanning grew angrier the more she thought about it, grabbed a porcelain cup from the table, and threw it hard to the ground.
The porcelain cup shattered on the ground, scattering shards everywhere, startling the maids nearby who quickly took a few steps back.
"Leave me alone!" Xie Wanning shouted angrily.
She kicked over a small stool, then grabbed the rouge box from the table and threw it hard on the ground.
Red rouge powder scattered all over the ground, like a scarlet flower blooming at her feet.
"They all think I'm not good enough, they all look down on me!"
"I won't let them have their way! I won't listen to them! Li Yuanheng won't be like them. Once I marry into their family, they'll see how I make them regret it!"
"They understand nothing! They know nothing!"
The maids stood aside, not daring to breathe.
Qin Mansion.
The Qin family's hall was covered with white silk, and a cold and desolate atmosphere permeated the entire courtyard.
The altar was set with simple offerings and a memorial tablet; there was no coffin and no body.
There was only a small wooden plaque that read "The Position of My Beloved Daughter, Qin Le'an".
The smoke from the burning incense rose in wisps.
Qin Le'an was a disgraced concubine who had been banished to the cold palace; they could only hold her funeral in secret...
Qin's father knelt before the memorial tablet, his whole body hunched over, his back looking incredibly heavy.
He held a lit incense stick in his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.
The tear tracks on her face had dried and then wet again, her eyes filled with silent pain.
Li, who was standing to the side, burst into tears.
She lay on the offering table, clutching a white handkerchief in her hand, which was already soaked with tears.
"Le'an...how could you leave like this? Your mother didn't even get to see you one last time..."
The maid beside her lowered her head and wiped away her tears, not daring to make a sound.
The only sounds in the Qin family mansion were the soft crackling of incense and Li's suppressed sobs.
Qin's father took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
But when his gaze fell on the memorial tablet, his eyes reddened again.
Le'an was his first child, and he invested the most emotion in her.
He still remembers the smiling face of Le'an when she first ran towards him in her new clothes.
This is different from Qin Jiuwei.
Although Qin Jiuwei is also his daughter, the two are completely incomparable.
Le'an is the most important person to him...
But he lost her forever...
Amidst this atmosphere of profound sorrow, a maid tiptoed in.
She kept her head down, her eyes darting around.
Hearing footsteps, Li looked up at her, wiped away her tears, and asked wearily, "Did you buy the things?"
The maid nodded quickly, her voice full of caution.
"I bought it."
Upon hearing this, Li's eyes sharpened instantly, staring intently at the maid with a suffocatingly oppressive gaze.
"Now that we've bought it, let's proceed according to the original plan! Get to work now!"
The maid shrank back slightly upon hearing this, but still mustered her courage and carefully raised her head to ask.
"Madam, this medicine... is too potent. Do we really have to use it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li's expression turned cold, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Her voice carried a cold, resolute tone.
"Of course!"
Qin Jiuwei killed her only daughter, and she wants her to pay with her life.
Ten days later.
Chu Yi and Xie Jingchun led their men in pursuit of a group of bandits.
As dusk fell, the wind howled through the mountains, carrying the scent of grass and trees.
During this period, apart from practicing martial arts, the two of them spent their days leading their men to suppress bandits around the capital.
This was my father's arrangement.
He said that while being highly skilled in martial arts is important, actual combat experience is equally important.
The experience he gained in real combat is what truly benefits him throughout his life.
Chu Yi stood on a high ground, gazing at the traces of bandits in the distant dense forest.
There was a deep calmness in his eyes. "These bandits are quite capable. We've been searching for two days and haven't found a single trace."
Xie Jingchun stood beside him, his face full of youthful vigor, and chuckled softly upon hearing this.
“These bandits are just a hastily assembled motley crew. We just need to find the right opportunity to wipe them all out.”
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder.
During this time, he and Chu Yi fought side by side and developed a deep understanding.
Whenever the enemy gets close, the two will attack at the same time, inseparable, communicating with each other through their eyes and hearts without needing to speak.
In his heart, he had already regarded Chu Yi as his good brother.
Chu Yi had his back to him, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
Just then, a bandit's roar came from afar, followed by a series of rapid footsteps.
