Chapter 25 I Won't Apologize

Qin Wan was stunned when she heard this.

If Wanxia hadn't grabbed her leg, almost causing her to lose her balance, she wouldn't have made a move.

If Su Yan'er hadn't insisted on being a cushion, the two of them wouldn't have bumped into the table, causing the teacup to fall and cut their faces.

Qin Wan was heartbroken and somewhat regretful. She should have expelled Wanxia from the manor directly, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Before Qin Wan could say anything more, Wanxia summoned the royal physician and sent Su Yan'er back to her own courtyard.

With such a major event occurring in the manor, how could the servants possibly conceal it?

As Qin Wan expected, about half an hour later, someone came to Wanyue Courtyard to deliver a message.

"Fourth Miss, the Marquis requests your presence in the front hall!"

The messenger was the steward, Wang Heng. He didn't come alone; he was followed by two servants.

Qin Wan understood that these two people were there to hold her hostage. If she said "no," they would immediately seize her.

So this time I have to go, whether I want to or not.

The snow was still falling. The moment Qin Wan stepped out of the room, she felt a chill and instinctively shook the cloak she was wearing.

Walking on the snow in the dark made a crunching sound.

Upon arriving at the lobby, everyone was already in place. The atmosphere was oppressive; no one made a sound. This silence seemed to be waiting for her to break it.

"My lord, the fourth young lady has arrived!"

After finishing his speech, Butler Wang withdrew and tactfully closed the door to the front hall.

Qin Wan didn't need to guess to know why they had called her here so late; it was nothing more than to interrogate her. Before they could investigate the cause and effect, she probably already believed that she was in the wrong.

Sure enough, before Qin Wan could speak, Qin Yi asked directly, "Qin Wan, did you inflict the injury on Yan'er's face?"

Although he was asking a question, his tone clearly indicated that he had already confirmed it was Qin Wan who had done it.

"no!"

Qin Wan immediately denied it, continuing, "She stood behind the sunset herself, bumped into the table, the teacup fell, and the shards cut her face. It has nothing to do with me!"

Qin Wan explained it very clearly, but they were convinced that it was her fault, and no matter how she explained, it was all in vain.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi reacted as if he had swallowed gunpowder, pointing his finger at Qin Wan's nose and saying...

"Don't try to explain yourself. Yan'er was injured in your room. You must be holding a grudge and seeking revenge."

"At the Empress's birthday banquet, your attempt to frame her failed, and now you're plotting to slash her face. With such a venomous heart, why wasn't the caning that day fatal?"

Qin Wan looked at Qin Yi with cold eyes. This was her own brother, her twin brother, and now he was cursing her to die.

She thought her heart had died back at Leishan Temple, but upon hearing these words, she still couldn't help but feel a sharp pain.

After saying that, Qin Yi lowered Qin Wan's hand, which he had been pointing at. Looking into her eyes, he felt somewhat ashamed. He admitted that he had acted impulsively, but since he had already said it, there was no reason to take it back in this situation.

She was the one who was heartless first, giving away the love knot without a second thought, completely disregarding me.

Qin Yi could never get over the issue of the love knot in his heart. Whenever he thought about it, he felt intense hatred for Qin Wan.

I just thought of this again.

Qin Wan sneered, "So you really wanted me to die!"

Qin Yi paused. She was his own sister. If he wanted her dead, he wouldn't have asked for the love knot for her in the first place. He realized he had been too impulsive with his words.

However, upon seeing Qin Wan's icy gaze, Qin Yi's earlier guilt vanished completely. He stepped forward, and their eyes met.

"How could I possibly want you dead? A vicious woman like you deserves to die alone, to live a life of loneliness forever..."

"Yi'er, what are you doing? She's your sister! How can you curse your sister like that!" Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, Han Shu grabbed him and interrupted him.

Although he didn't finish speaking, Qin Wan heard everything he said before, so it wasn't hard to guess what he was going to say next.

Look, this is her family. The brother she's called "brother" for sixteen years cursed her to die and to grow old alone.

Han Shu pushed Qin Yi aside. She believed that Yan'er's injury was not Wan'er's doing, and she was just asking questions and did not intend to convict her.

All Wan'er needs to do is explain what happened clearly. If it was Wan'er's fault, she just needs to sincerely admit it.

Han Shu didn't want to make a big fuss. The royal physician said that Yan'er's facial injuries weren't deep, and with a little care in the next few days, she would recover completely. So, as long as Wan'er admitted her mistake, the matter would be over.

"Wan'er, Yi'er was too impulsive just now, please don't take his words to heart!"

She won't take it to heart. They did it in their previous life, so what does it matter if they just talk about it in this life?

Han Shu continued, "Wan'er, Yan'er was injured in your room after all. No matter what, you just need to apologize to Yan'er and that will be the end of it. Your father won't pursue the matter further!"

Apologize?

Qin Wan frowned, wondering if she had misheard.

But after a moment's thought, all she heard was an apology; they wanted her to apologize to Su Yan'er!

Last time, she was forced to admit the mistake of pushing Su Yan'er into the water and was also forced to apologize. Now, it's not her fault, but they still want her to apologize.

Does it mean that if anything happens to Su Yan'er, they will all assume it's her fault?

Qin Wan seemed to understand that she had fostered this trend. If she continued to take the blame, they might think that she was the one who killed Su Yan'er if she died outside the Marquis's mansion.

This time, Qin Wan refused to compromise, which must have been due to her inherent stubbornness. Qin Wan looked at Han Shu with neither servility nor arrogance.

"Mother, didn't you understand what I just said? It's not my fault that Su Yan'er was injured, so why should I apologize?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi snorted coldly, "See, she will never admit her mistakes. Even if there are witnesses and physical evidence, no matter how much you argue, she will not admit it. That's just the kind of person she is!"

As before, once they've made up their minds, no matter what she says, they think she's just making excuses. Even if she admits it, they still think it's something she's doing against her will.

Qin Wan glared at Qin Yi. She used to only know that he spoke rudely, but now she understood that his words were not just rude, they were vicious.

"You say you have both witnesses and physical evidence, then please produce evidence that I injured Su Yan'er, otherwise it's a frame-up!"

Do you really think we have no evidence?

Qin Yi and Qin Wan started arguing again, and this time Han Shu couldn't stop them.

"Okay, then take it out and let everyone see. If it really is my fault, I will apologize. Otherwise, you have to apologize to me!"

"Hmph, you just wait!"

Han Shu couldn't stop this or that, and her gaze towards Qin Huai, who remained silent in the main seat, was full of complaints.

After a short while, the evidence Qin Yi mentioned arrived.

Looking at the sunset kneeling on the ground, Qin Wan knew that she definitely wouldn't side with her.

"My lord, my lady, the injury on Miss Yan'er's face was in the fourth young lady's room. The fourth young lady injured her!"
