Qin Yun narrowed her eyes, looking at Mr. Jin.
Leaning close, she whispered into Mr. Jin’s ear, “If you play any tricks on me tonight, I’ll have you castrated and then thrown to the border. Let those starved and thirsty warriors have their way with you!”
“I’ve heard the men there are wild and violent. Besides liking women, they have a special taste for eunuchs!”
Mr. Jin trembled, shaking his head. “No, please, no! I’ll tell you everything, I won’t hide anything. I beg you, sir official, spare my life!”
Qin Yun stood up, looking down at the two men.
Seeing that they were truly terrified, she finally felt at ease.
“Let’s go, to the Qin Manor!” Qin Yun said, striding away.
The entourage arrived at the gates of the Qin Manor in grand fashion.
Leading them was Qin Yun herself.
Qin Yun stopped at the gates of the Qin Manor.
She said to Qing Shan, “Go to the residence and bring all the account books. Also, bring the signature fruit wines from Chunyue Restaurant, the Little Tea House, and the Four Seasons Restaurants to the Qin Manor!”
Then, she turned to Hong Fu. “You’ll be in charge of You Da and Mr. Jin for now. Keep them hidden. Only bring them into the manor when I call for them. You must protect them during this time; they are important witnesses tonight, their lives must not be threatened!”
“Master, I’m not at ease with no one around to protect you!”
Qin Yun smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
Afterward!
Qin Yun turned to the several young servants behind her and said, “The four of you follow me and obey my commands. The rest of you, block every exit of the Qin Manor. Tonight… I do not permit anyone to leave the manor, nor anyone to enter!”
After Qin Yun finished giving her instructions!
Suddenly!
Xiao Ju emerged from the crowd!
“Young Master? Why didn’t you bring this servant with you when you left?” Xiao Ju complained.
Qin Yun patted Xiao Ju’s head, saying gently, “I have important matters to attend to tonight, and you might not be able to help. Go and rest.”
“No, this servant is here to serve you, Young Master. Wherever you go, this servant will go!”
Qin Yun shook her head helplessly. This girl of hers was truly spoiled and disobedient!
“Alright, you’ll just be an invisible person then.”
“Thank you, Young Master!” Xiao Ju hopped twice with delight!
Arriving at the gates of the Qin Manor!
Qin Yun knocked on the door.
The next moment, the gatekeeper young servant slowly opened the gate.
When he saw that it was Qin Yun, the servant’s face lit up with enthusiasm!
Upon closer inspection!
Why was the Young Master wearing official robes?
It was already midnight, and the Young Master’s presence was rather imposing!
He seemed to be… up to no good!
“Young Master? What is this…?”
Qin Yun ignored the servant’s surprised expression and walked straight past him into the manor.
The servants behind her also followed.
Qin Yun went directly to the front hall of the main courtyard.
Upon hearing the commotion from the front courtyard, Fu Bo immediately came to Qin Yun.
“Young Master? What is this?” Fu Bo was clearly startled by Qin Yun’s appearance.
It was the first time he had seen the Young Master in official attire, and he found him so handsome! He exuded righteousness and authority! https:/
Qin Yun’s expression was stern. “Fu Bo, summon my father to the front hall to hear the trial!”
Hear the trial?
Fu Bo rubbed his forehead, not quite understanding the situation!
But seeing how serious the Young Master looked now, with a business-like demeanor, he decided to comply.
“Yes, this old servant will go and wake up Master to come and hear the trial!”
Though he didn’t know who his young master was going to try, judging by the current situation, this matter seemed anything but simple!
After Fu Bo left, Qin Yun beckoned to the young servants beside her.
The four young servants stepped forward, two on each side of Qin Yun.
Qin Yun said to the two servants on her left, “The two of you, go to the west side courtyard and tie up that vixen Qin Yu for me!”
Then, she said to the two servants on her right, “The two of you, go to the west main courtyard and tie up Madam Min!”
After giving her instructions, Qin Yun suddenly thought of something!
She looked at Xiao Ju beside her and smiled slightly. “Do you want to help?”
Xiao Ju nodded eagerly. “Yes!”
“Lean in close!”
Xiao Ju stretched her little head closer to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun spoke in a very soft voice, quickly assigning Xiao Ju her task.
Xiao Ju accepted the task, nodded happily!
She turned and disappeared into the night.
Qin Yun walked to the main seat in the front hall, lifted her official robes, and sat down gently.
Qin Yuanzhang arrived in the front hall at that moment.
“Yun’er? What is this…?” Qin Yuanzhang was confused by Qin Yun’s attire.
“Father, please sit down first. You’ll know soon enough!”
Qin Yuanzhang wanted to say more, but seeing Qin Yun’s cold expression, he wisely remained silent.
In the silent night!
“Ah……” A woman’s scream pierced the quiet night sky!
Hearing the sound, Qin Yun was not surprised and remained calm.
On the contrary, Qin Yuanzhang, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again in a panic. “What is it? What’s happening?”
“That sounds like Yu’er’s voice. Has something happened?”
“Father, it was I who ordered someone to go to the west side courtyard and the west main courtyard to tie up Qin Yu and Madam Min!”
Qin Yuanzhang quickly turned around and looked at Qin Yun with anger in his eyes. “Yun’er, what do you mean by this?”
Qin Yun sneered. “Father knows best in his heart, why are you asking me?”
“Is this because of the poisoning incident?” Qin Yuanzhang sighed.
“Yun’er, all of this is just your speculation, it proves nothing! Father also suspected Min Yueyue, but we have no evidence! Moreover… your face has healed, and the poison is gone. Can’t we just let this matter go?”
Let it go?
Qin Yun was somewhat disappointed in Qin Yuanzhang.
During her absence from the Qin Manor, the second branch had indeed been whispering in Qin Yuanzhang’s ear.
“Who says this official has no evidence? Lord Qin, I summoned you here to hear the trial, not to hinder this official’s investigation!” Qin Yun’s expression was cold, no longer addressing Qin Yuanzhang as father and son.
At this moment, it was necessary to bring official matters to the forefront!
“Yun’er? You…?” Qin Yuanzhang was furious!
“This official thought you were clear-headed, but I didn’t expect you to be more muddled with age!”
Qin Yuanzhang was clearly angered.
As the saying goes, a higher official can suppress a lower one. His son, upon taking office, held several ranks higher than him.
Now that Qin Yun was using her official rank to pressure him, he found it difficult to speak.
Watching Qin Yuanzhang’s predicament, Fu Bo by his side was also full of disbelief!
In the past, the young master was always goofing off and not attending to business, and he was often reprimanded by his master then.
Now, the situation had reversed.
The master was being lectured by the young master! And the master dared not talk back! Who told him that the young master was wearing official robes?
As long as the young master wore his official robes, he could hold the master firmly in his grasp!
In a short while!
Qin Yu and Madam Min were brought in, each being held by a strong young servant.
Qin Yu was still in her inner white clothes, looking rather disheveled.
Madam Min was in an even worse state!
Her hair was messy, her clothes disheveled, and her eyes glared ferociously!
One of the servants restraining Madam Min had a red mark on his face.
It was clearly the mark of Madam Min’s doing!
