Chapter 95 - Living Worse Than a Dog



“You should think about how to explain this thing to your father. This accident was different from the last one. This time, many people witnessed the whole event, so you couldn’t say whatever you want! If you did, then you are humiliating yourself and father. The military department has a conflict with politician department will lead to irreversible consequence, and Jiangzhou is near to the border!”

He was speaking in an ordinary voice volume, but it was loud enough to allow other servants in the room to hear clearly.

They were scheming various plans about how to blame the accident to others, but now they had to face this problem directly. In the past, when Qi Rongzhi tried to make Qin Wanru as the culprit, she had Madam Di and Qin Yuru by her side, so nothing was a big deal.

But now it was different, the power in the backyard of General’s Mansion was changed, and Qin Wanru was no longer a kid who couldn’t earn father’s attention or mother’s affection. Additionally, this accident happened in Jingxin Monastery, and those passers-by who witnessed the accident couldn’t be bought.

If their words were paradoxical, then they would end up as the scapegoat. Thinking of this consequence, girl servants and old women were trembling. But they understood clearly that they couldn’t speak nonsense.

It would be safest if they told what they saw.

Since there were so many people, it was not their fault that they failed to protect their miss!

Qi Rongzhi got stunned by Qi Baiyu’s coldness and ruthlessness, and she understood his intentions among the words, so she changed her facial expression, “you… did you know anything?”

“If you don’t want people to know it, the best way is not to do it!”

“How… how could you know?” Qi Rongzhi’s voice was trembling because she was scared. If she disfigured Qin Wanru’s face, maybe she would suffer the revenge from General’s Mansion!

Qi Rongzhi couldn’t cool off on thinking that she would end up to the most miserable and degrading place.

As what Qin Yuru had done before, she sold girl servants to brothels for millions of times. She would rather die in thinking of that happening to her.

She couldn’t accept this consequence.

“Qi Rongzhi, I remembered father had warned you many times, don’t make troubles in General’s Mansion! But you’re not listening! Whose slander did you listen to and caused this trouble? You bothered father with such a huge accident and ended up in a mess. If Jingxin Monastery master didn’t give you medical treatment, your face would be disfigured!”

Qi Tianyu continued to make feel stressed, and then she added the word “slander” indifferently.

Qin Wanru had mentioned that Qi Rongzhi was tricked into getting here, so he led the topic to that direction!

“Slander?” Qi Rongzhi turned her glassy eyes to her wet nurse because she was too stunned to say anything after hearing Qi Baiyu.

“You… you, who told you that I could go up to the mountain and vent my on Qin Wanru?”

“Miss!” The wet nurse went into a panic, and she wanted to explain after she kneeled.

“Wet nurse, you… how could you trick your Young Madam to get here? You… what benefits did the person give to you?” Chun Yi was very flexible and panicking, and she was also afraid that she was blamed. Now she understood instantly, pointing at the wet nurse and yelling.

“You tell me, why did you lead me here to find trouble with Qin Wanru? You told me to drive Qi Baiyu away and then chat with Qin Wanru pretending that I made a compromise with her. After that, you told me to deceive her to an isolated place in the name of Qi Baiyu, beating her into unconsciousness, scratching her face, and then what happened later had nothing to do with me!”

Qi Rongzhi slapped wet nurse in her face violently and cursed.

“You said nobody would associate the accident with me based on what I said before. You said if anyone wanted to blame me, they would blame it on Qi Baiyu, so what about now?”

Qi Rongzhi was dying to rip wet nurse off, so she kicked her bitterly and made her flop on the ground. Crying out loudly and grasping on Qi Rongzhi’s feet, the wet nurse wanted to explain to her.

“Young Lady, Young Lady, I only wanted to help you to vent your anger. Anyway, Second Prince would be blamed only, and it would have nothing to do with Young Lady!”

Qi Baiyu sneered by her side and kicked the old woman who kept speaking nonsense. She was flung to another side and bumped the wall, making a loud noise which stunned everyone in the room.

“Qi Rongzhi, don’t think you could harm people and have other’s protection all the time. Now, you should explain this thing to your father about this issue and for her… I believe you have the intelligence and could find who is triggering all of these! You’re only a tool in other people’s hand!”

Qi Baiyu was smiling coldly, and his lips trembled a little bit. It seemed that he was smiling but maybe not. He turned around and strode away, without staying there and watching them bite each other.

“Young Lady, I remember now. The wet nurse had a good relationship with Nanny Zhou from the Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. Yesterday, I saw them talking with each other in the corner stealthily.” Chun Yi, who was standing behind, screamed out. She was also trying hard to find evidence to prove that the wet nurse was the culprit.

“Yes, I saw it too!”

“It was yesterday, I passed by them accidentally and heard they were talking about Jingxin Monastery. I didn’t pay much attention, so I didn’t listen carefully.”

“It was the Nanny Zhou from Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion, she followed Madam Di and I knew her!”

Many people were talking aside, and they finally understood…

Qi Baiyu was standing in the corridor, looking at Qi Rongzhi and sneering. He strode outside with his servants following behind him.

He felt impatient and kept walking forward gloomily. But he stopped at the turn in front of him. It was a big tree under which standing the Qin Wanru with her face raising. She carried a slight smile, and her face was beautiful and glowing. She lifted her face, and her lovely eyes were blinking under the long fluttering eyelashes.

That looked beautiful and quiet!

It seemed that something was comforting Qi Baiyu and wiping his impatience. Standing there for a while, he sauntered towards Qin Wanru.

“Do you know who was instigating everything?” Qin Wanru said gently. When Qi Rongzhi was in the medical treatment, she asked Qing Yue to meet Qi Baiyu secretly to make Qi Rongzhi think like this.

She was pretty sure that Qi Rongzhi was deceived into getting to Jingxin Monastery.

“Madam Di from your mansion!” Qi Baiyu frowned and said coldly, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.

“It was her, obviously!” Qin Wanru didn’t surprise. She said while shaking her head, but her smile looked indifferent.

“She wanted to destroy you like this? She bore you to some extent, and you were raised by her for so many years. Did you have any maternal emotions on you? Even if she raised a dog, she wouldn’t try to hurt it after so many years, and maybe she wouldn’t want to hurt you by all her efforts!” Qi Baiyu said solemnly, and he smiled strictly.

“I’m less than a dog!” That was the conclusion made by Qin Wanru while she was smiling.

Qi Baiyu felt uncomfortable when she spoke this conclusion while smiling like a flower. He involuntarily opened his mouth and tried to say something to comfort her, but this was only what he said, “I’m raised less than a dog in my mansion!”

He was born to a concubine!

This was the issue that he knew since he was born, and his mother was not a woman who could make many troubles, and she liked working on her hall in her yard all day which indicated that the master favored her less. Madam Li didn’t let her go, and she would ask his mother occasionally and give her a lesson. Of course, Madam Li didn’t treat him well either.

Whenever anything happened, she would blame it on him.

He was too young when he was a little boy and didn’t understand, but after several good cries, he grew up and knew he was always the scapegoat. As long as Qi Rongzhi did something wrong, and he was present, then he should be blamed.

He was beaten many times by Magistrate Qi since he was a kid.

In the past, he thought his big brother was a decent person, but later, it turned out he was only good at concealing himself. When he tried to frame up someone, he could even take the person’s life!

Madam Di just mentioned that Madam Di could develop a good relationship and feelings even if she were raising a dog for so many years, rather than raising Qin Wanru. Qin Wanru didn’t have a mother that she had to fight with, and Qin Wanru was taking her like a birth mother. But he was also talking about himself. His mother didn’t compete for attention or favor, and he respected the distinguished Madam Li at the very beginning.

But what about the last?

They almost became the scapegoats who served to cover Qi Tianyu and Qin Yuru’s faults forever!

They didn’t win the father’s affection or mother’s love, and they were both the scapegoats that nobody would protect. If they failed to defend themselves, they would carry a bad reputation for all their lives!

“I need to have a better life!” Qin Wanru laughed, and her lips were bending up. Her slender smiling water-filled eyes looked adorable and didn’t look indifferent like just now. She seemed warm, which made people feel sorry for her, “Brother Baiyu will live a better life too, so you can make those people who want to plot against us feel uncomfortable!”

Since now that they wanted to stamp into the mud themselves, then only if they lived a better life could they defeat the enemies!

Qin Wanru was not tall, and Qi Baiyu was taller than her. At this moment, she raised the head and looked at Qi Baiyu’s stare, carrying a sense of childish seriousness and stubbornness, which made her little face look delicate. Her face looked vivid and energetic, and the spring rippled in her eyes were more beautiful than the surrounding environment.

At this moment, almost everyone forgot that she was a little girl, and how young she was!

Qi Baiyu felt moved, and he was shedding gentle stare to her. Restoring a shiny smile of a young lad, he looked up at the sky, “Yes, I have to lead a better life, better than my eldest brother in case some people kept praising him. Big brother was the mainstay in the mansion, and I, as the son of a concubine, am useless and drag down the entire mansion.

“Go back. People from my mansion would come soon. This had nothing to do with you, and it had nothing to do with Old Grandma. Regarding explanation, we’ll see how they solve it!” Qi Baiyu waved his hands and turned around for going back. He couldn’t leave before someone from the mansion arrived here.

“Brother Baiyu, you should be careful yourself!” Qin Wanru nodded her head. She was so afraid that Qi Baiyu would get involved, so she came to check.

“I’m fine!” Qi Baiyu paused here, and he turned around slowly. His smile showed some intelligence that could only be found on a young lad like him, “I’ll go to the capital city in a few days, can I go with you?”
