After severing all ties with family and friends, the villain's entire family was filled with re

Chapter 2 This is my real mother

As the board continued to fall, Qin Lang's clenched fists tightened, a punishment for her unreasonable behavior.

But after twelve strokes of the cane, she remained silent, blood flowing all over the ground from her buttocks.

Seeing this, Qin Lang felt inexplicably angry. If she begged for mercy, he would definitely plead with the Empress!

When soldiers make mistakes, they are punished with no more than twenty strokes of the cane. She's only sixteen years old, so what is she so stubborn about? She must be resentful!

After this incident, I must make her realize her mistake and teach her to control her temper.

"twenty!"

With a loud shout, the supervising eunuch announced the end of the caning.

Qin Lang rushed forward to check on her, but Qin Wan had already fainted.

This farce at the Empress's birthday banquet thus came to an end.

Three days later.

Pingding Marquis's Mansion.

Wanyue Courtyard.

Qin Wan finally woke up and looked around. This was her boudoir, which she had left two years ago, and now she had returned here.

Qin Wan, lying on the bed, tried to move around, but her body was in excruciating pain.

Noticing the movement on the bed, the maid Wan Shuang rushed over and excitedly said when she saw that Qin Wan had woken up.

"Miss, you're finally awake!"

Seeing Wanshuang again filled Qin Wan with emotion.

In her previous life, after she was sent to Leishan Temple, only this little maid secretly came twice. Although both times it was at her grandmother's request, she knew her loyalty.

Now, the only person in the entire Marquis's mansion who still cares about him is probably his grandmother.

Qin Wan tried to get up, but she was too badly injured and too weak to even speak.

"Miss, you've been unconscious for three days. You must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat!" Wan Shuang ran to the door and instructed another maid to fetch some porridge from the main kitchen.

However, when the porridge was served, Han Shu and Qin Lang also came along.

"Wan'er, Wan'er!" Before she could be seen, Han Shu's concerned, trembling voice had already reached them.

But now, Qin Wan only feels disgust when she hears this voice.

When Han Shu came in and saw Qin Wan's weak appearance, tears streamed down her face. This was their daughter, whom they had pampered for sixteen years. When had she ever suffered like this?

Doesn't she realize that this suffering is something they created?

"Wan'er, are you still in pain?"

Han Shu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, then took the thin porridge from the maid beside her, gently blew on it to cool it down, and then fed it to Qin Wan's lips.

"Get up and eat something!"

Qin Wan had been unconscious for three days, and her stomach had been rumbling for a long time.

But now she is in so much pain that she can't sit up and can only lie on the bed without moving.

Previously, Wan Shuang would squat on the ground and feed Qin Wan bite by bite.

Han Shu's spoon hovered in mid-air for a while, but Qin Wan didn't get up. Just as Han Shu was about to continue feeding it, Qin Lang, who was standing to the side, immediately got annoyed.

"Qin Wan, what are you doing?" Qin Lang frowned, staring intently at Qin Wan.

"I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days because of you. When I heard you were awake, I rushed to see you, but you reacted like this. Who are you trying to impress?"

Qin Wan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. This was her own second brother. She was beaten so badly that she couldn't speak or get up, and he started cursing her without even asking what had happened.

As for her biological mother.

At the Empress's birthday banquet, Su Yan'er fell into the water, and Qin Wan rushed to her rescue.

Han Shu was the first person to see what happened and the first person to explain to her, but she didn't believe her explanation and was convinced that Su Yan'er was the one who pushed her into the water.

She's my own mother! If she had just said something in her defense, things wouldn't have turned out that way.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore!

If she truly cared for him, she wouldn't have never visited him once, not even sending her maids, after he had been mistreated at Leishan Temple for two years in his previous life.

Seeing that Qin Wan remained silent, Han Shu thought that perhaps she was throwing a tantrum because of the caning incident. She then turned to Qin Lang and gave him a wink, feigning annoyance.

"Lang'er, your sister is still recovering from her injuries, how can you speak to her like that?"

Han Shu put down her bowl and spoon, gently patted Qin Wan's back, and said softly.

"Wan'er, I know you're upset. You're still blaming us for not protecting you back then."

But everyone witnessed you pushing Yan'er into the water that day. If we protect you, the Empress's punishment might implicate our entire family..."

"So, you just stood by and watched me be tortured?"

Qin Wan remained silent for a long time, and when she finally spoke, her throat felt like it was being slashed by a knife.

But she still endured the pain and forced out those words, which pierced Han Shu's heart, preventing her from saying anything more.

Qin Lang, standing to the side, was confused. It was clearly her fault; she was the one who pushed Yan'er into the water first and then punished her. Why did she act like she had suffered a great injustice?

"Qin Wan! Stop being sarcastic. Isn't it right to punish you? You pushed Yan'er into the water at the birthday banquet, which is a serious crime."

"This is only twenty strokes of the cane, which is already a great favor from Her Majesty the Empress. Not only do you not repent, but you also act as if the whole family owes you something. We've really spoiled you rotten!"

Han Shu kept patting Qin Lang's arm, but she couldn't stop him from talking.

Qin Wan felt a chill in her heart.

Yes, it's all because they spoiled them!

However, this pampering disappeared the moment Su Yan'er entered the manor.

Qin Wan simply didn't have the energy to argue with them anymore.

Seeing that she was still lying down and not looking at them, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

But then he thought of his sister, who had never suffered such a serious injury before.

His displeasure subsided, and he said something in a gentle voice.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so I won't hold it against you. But once you're healed, don't act like this again, or else..."

He was stopped by Han Shu before he could say his last words.

But Qin Wan knew that behind his words lay blame and even a beating!

Qin Lang used to dote on her so much that if anyone bullied her, no matter who they were, he would fight back for her.

But this very person who doted on her had also laid a hand on her multiple times for Su Yan'er's sake.

Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, as soon as Su Yan'er shed a tear, it immediately became her fault.

"This is some wound medicine I got from the military camp. You should use it; it should be better than what the physician prescribed!"

After saying that, Qin Lang took out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it to Wan Shuang, who was standing to the side.

Han Shu was relieved; Lang'er was, after all, all bark and no bite.

At this moment, a maidservant, looking flustered, ignored her mistress's words and rushed in to report.

"Madam, Second Young Master, something terrible has happened! Miss Yan'er has a fever again!"

Upon hearing this, the two exclaimed in surprise, "It's on fire again?"

As they spoke, they hurriedly left the room, completely forgetting that they had come to visit Qin Wan.
