"Enough, stop talking. I don't want to hear it!" Qin Yu covered her ears, her mind a mess.
Madame Min glanced around. Other than the few thugs on the ground writhing in pain, the firewood shed door seemed loose.
"Yu'er, while no one is watching, let's escape quickly!"
Madame Min's voice pulled Qin Yu back to reality.
After observing the surroundings, Qin Yu nodded.
Mother and daughter supported each other and went to the door.
Qin Yu shook the bolt, and the door opened quickly.
Madame Min and her daughter smiled with delight.
"Go, hurry!" Madame Min urged.
Qin Yu stopped and squinted. "Mother, you go out first. I'll come out later."
"Yu'er, what are you going to do? Aren't you coming with me?"
"Mother, just wait for me outside. Your daughter will be there soon."
Madame Min nodded, and could only hobble away alone.
After Madame Min left, Qin Yu closed the door and secured the bolt.
She turned to look at the five thugs on the ground.
Two of them had even fainted from the pain, while the other three were still rolling on the ground crying out in agony.
Qin Yu looked at the long whip hanging on the wall.
After taking it down, she approached the five thugs.
Her lips curved slightly, and her eyes hid a murderous intent.
Before the thugs could react, Qin Yu, holding the whip, mercilessly lashed out at them.
Qin Yu specifically targeted the thugs' sensitive areas.
Their already bloody severed hands became even more mangled under Qin Yu's whip.
If the thugs tried to protect their hands, Qin Yu would whip their lower bodies.
In any case, with their hands gone, the five thugs were no match for Qin Yu. Even though Qin Yu was a woman, they were helpless against her.
"Hahaha... Get up, come at me! Come and beat me to death! Why aren't you moving?" Qin Yu laughed wildly, her face filled with unwillingness, as if she wanted to vent all the humiliation of the past two days onto the thugs.
The thugs rolling on the ground begged for mercy. "My little ancestor, please stop hitting us, spare our lives!"
"We've suffered enough, please show mercy!"
Qin Yu sneered. "Mercy? When I begged you earlier, you showed no kindness."
Qin Yu's whipping grew more frantic, her strength increasing with each blow.
The five thugs scrambled to the firewood shed door, trying to escape.
But the door was bolted, and with their hands gone, they naturally couldn't open it.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Heh heh..." Qin Yu smirked, her eyes holding murderous intent.
Seeing no way to escape, the five thugs knelt and begged for mercy.
"Third Young Lady, please, spare us! We were sent here by Master Qin!"
Master Qin? Heh heh heh!
Yes!
Qin Yun was now Master Qin!
Their statuses were worlds apart.
Qin Yun was a high and mighty favored child of heaven, while she was a bastard.
Thinking of these unpleasant matters, Qin Yu's heart ached so much she could barely breathe.
"Ah...!" Qin Yu yelled up at the sky!
Then, she resumed her brutal beating of the thugs.
Just then, the door opened. Madame Min looked at Qin Yu with worry. "Yu'er, hurry and go. Don't hit them anymore. If you kill them, we'll all go to jail. It won't be worth it."
Madame Min grabbed Qin Yu, trying to persuade her.
Seeing the door open, the five thugs
scurried out.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly and dropped the whip. "Mother, a person who achieves great things is not bound by trivial matters. Do you know where you lost?"
"You weren't decisive enough, not ruthless enough, and hesitant in your actions!"
Madame Min frowned. "What nonsense are you talking? Mother did all this for you!"
"Really? Were those things you secretly did for me? I'm afraid it was just for your own selfish desires!"
Qin Yu sneered at Madame Min. "You are truly foolish. You spent ten years poisoning Qin Yun, and you couldn't even kill her. Why not just strangle her at birth? If it weren't for your incompetence, how could Qin Yun still be alive?"
"Me?" Madame Min was rendered speechless by Qin Yu's retort.
"You truly disappoint me!" With that, Qin Yu walked out.
Just then, she encountered Qin Yun approaching.
"You...? How are you here?" Seeing Qin Yun, Qin Yu flinched back in fear.
"Why can't I be here? What... are you worried about your father?" Qin Yun smiled.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't know? Didn't your mother just tell you?" Qin Yun provocatively played with Qin Yu, picking up a strand of hair from her shoulder and toying with it.
"Are you having us watched?" Qin Yu's brows furrowed tightly. The current Qin Yun was truly terrifying.
"If I didn't watch, how would I know you're a bastard!"
"Qin Yun... Don't go too far. You'd better not give me any leverage, or I won't let you off!"
Qin Yun lightly blew a puff of cold air onto Qin Yu's bruised face. "Don't worry, even if I had leverage, you'd never catch it in this lifetime!"
Qin Yu was panicking inwardly. "What do you want to do?"
"You'll know soon enough!"
"Guards, tie up this vixen and her mother!"
Four strong and burly young servants immediately appeared behind Qin Yun.
The four quickly bound Madame Min and her daughter.
They tried to struggle but were no match for the four strong men.
Qin Yun went to the front courtyard and looked up at the sky. Tonight was perfect.
At this moment, Qingshan was still fighting with the man in black. They were evenly matched.
After returning from the back courtyard, Hong Fu quietly told Qin Yun the truth she had discovered.
Qin Yun frowned slightly and looked at the man in black. "Go help Qingshan and capture this person for me quickly!"
"Yes, Master!"
This person was indeed not to be underestimated. Unfortunately, he encountered her, and his luck ran out.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment, feeling that this matter still required Qin Yuanzhang's involvement.
After being deceived by the household servants for so many years, he should also know the truth.
Qin Yun returned to the main house and approached the sleeping Qin Yuanzhang.
She ordered Fu Bo to extinguish the sandalwood incense.
Then, she took out a small, cool bottle from her waist.
She opened the cap and held the small bottle near Qin Yuanzhang's nose.
After a few seconds,
Qin Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
"Yun'er...?" Qin Yuanzhang's complexion was weak.
Qin Yun felt something was wrong and immediately took Qin Yuanzhang's pulse.
Seeing the situation, Qin Yuanzhang frowned slightly. "Yun'er, you can also take pulses and diagnose illnesses?"
How could he, as her father, not know that Yun'er knew medicine?
This child had many secrets she kept from him.
Qin Yun did not answer Qin Yuanzhang's question and seriously took his pulse.
Confirming that Qin Yuanzhang's body was not seriously ill, just tired and stressed, combined with a slight upset of blood, hence the weakness.
He only needed to drink some nourishing soup and rest for two more days.
"Father, you are just a bit sad and tired. There's nothing seriously wrong!"
"Yun'er, you know medicine? When did you learn?"
