Chapter 130 This Apology Must Be Made
She knew that the head kitchen of the manor wouldn't just obey a servant; the people who could instruct those people to tamper with the food must be the masters of the manor.
Everyone except the grandmother is a suspect.
Today is the day Xiao Jingyan proposes marriage, and everyone should be having a meal together, but Qin Wan took Xiao Jingyan back to her own courtyard.
So it became a family banquet for the Qin family.
They are currently having a meal together in the main courtyard.
Qin Wan walked quickly, and in less than half an incense stick's time, she arrived at the main courtyard.
When she came in, she saw Han Shu serving food to Qin Lang and telling him to eat more.
Qin Yi, who was standing to the side, was gnawing on a piece of lamb chopstick. He seemed uncomfortable using chopsticks, so he just used his hands to eat it.
Seeing how much they were enjoying their meal, Qin Wan's anger flared up. If she didn't let them have an easy time today, then no one else would either.
Qin Wan continued walking forward, and Han Shu was the first to notice her arrival.
He then raised his hand and called out, "Wan'er, has the Fifth Prince left? Have you had your meal? Come and eat with us!"
Han Shu was delighted; it was a rare occasion for the whole family to sit down and have a meal together.
Before Han Shu could finish speaking, Su Yan'er walked to the table and splashed the pink crab roe she was holding directly onto the dining table.
The stench of the pink crab roe instantly filled the air, staining every dish on the table and even the clothes of the four of them.
Qin Yi was enjoying his crab when the splash of pink crab roe hit him, causing him to gag a few times.
"Qin Wan, are you crazy!" Qin Yi was furious. He threw the lamb chop in his hand onto the table, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at Qin Wan.
Nianqi was already prepared on the side. If any of them dared to make a move, she would have to stretch her muscles properly today!
Qin Wan glared at Qin Yi, then glared at the others.
"Can you smell it? It stinks!" By the time Qin Wan splashed it, the stench had already spread. Not only could those of them who were sitting and eating smell it, but even the maids serving them could smell it.
"Not only that, the fish was sour, the meat was salty, and even the vegetables had bugs in them!" Qin Wan coldly swept her gaze over everyone, trying to glean some clues from their reactions.
Qin Yi froze for a moment, then regained his composure.
"If there's something wrong with the food, go find the servants in the kitchen. What are you doing here? You don't have any good food to serve, so you come here to ruin ours. What are you up to!"
Qin Wan turned to the side, her gaze locking onto Qin Yi, who was still wiping his mouth, and said coldly, "It's you!"
Qin Yi felt a little guilty under the stare. "Wh...what do you mean by 'me'? I don't understand!"
His reaction had already given everything away. Qin Yi wasn't good at hiding his true feelings; this question exposed him.
It really was him.
He did this because he hadn't yet vented his resentment.
My second brother injured his leg because of her, and he hasn't recovered yet.
My eldest brother also went to Yunzhou, a place fraught with danger, where a slight misstep could lead to the same fate as my second brother.
And all of this started because of her, yet she never reflected on her mistakes.
She also flaunted herself with that useless prince every day, causing the Marquis's mansion to be the subject of much criticism because of her.
His friend Zhang Yue also said that Miss Shen's injury was related to her.
She has caused so much harm to her family, and he wants to ruin her engagement.
Qin Yi hated Qin Wan's self-righteous look, as if she saw through everything. He was initially unwilling to admit it, but after glaring back, he changed his mind.
"So what if it's me? What can you do...?"
'Snapped! '
Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, Qin Wan slapped him across the face. She didn't want to talk to such a wicked fool; taking action was the most effective way.
The slap startled everyone.
Qin Yi felt humiliated. This wasn't the first time she had hit him. He was her brother, yet she had hit him.
Qin Yi immediately wanted to retaliate, but Qin Wan had Nian Qi by her side.
How could they just stand by and watch Qin Wan get beaten?
When Qin Yi raised his hand, Nian Qi grabbed his wrist and squeezed harder, as if she were about to crush his bones.
"Today is the engagement day of His Highness and Miss. Although it is not a grand affair, it is still something His Majesty values. Today, the Third Young Master's behavior and words all represent the Marquis's Mansion. His Highness will report everything that happened today to His Majesty truthfully, including the fact that there was something wrong with today's meal!"
After saying that, Nian Qi suddenly used force to shake off Qin Yi's hand and threw him to the ground.
Damn it, I've already fallen for this slut so many times. Don't let her find an opportunity, or I'll kill her.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huai was taken aback and immediately panicked. Even if the Fifth Prince was incompetent, he was still His Majesty's son. To humiliate the Fifth Prince today was tantamount to humiliating His Majesty.
If the Fifth Prince were to truly recount today's events to His Majesty...
The Marquis's mansion would be doomed. The eldest son has not yet returned from Yunzhou. What will he do if something happens to the Marquis's mansion now?
Regardless of the reason, Qin Huai cannot sit idly by.
He berated Qin Yi, who had just gotten up from the ground, saying, "You beast! Look at what you've done! How dare you!"
Qin Lang, who was in a wheelchair on the ground, didn't think much of it. On the contrary, he thought that the third brother had done a good job today.
How could that useless prince be worthy of Wan'er? It's already a favor that he wasn't driven away directly.
Han Shu saw things escalating and knew that the source of the problem was Qin Wan. All Qin Wan had to do was tell the Fifth Prince that the servants had made a mistake and that it was not Yi'er's intention.
That way, the matter wouldn't reach His Majesty's ears, and the Marquis's residence wouldn't be punished.
Ignoring the stench emanating from her clothes, she stepped forward and said, "Wan'er, Yi'er was confused today. Mother apologizes to you on his behalf..."
"Mother, you probably don't understand. Even if you're apologizing, it's not to me, it's to the Fifth Prince!" Qin Wan took a step back, not wanting the foul-smelling Han Shu to get closer to her.
"Dream on! I will not apologize to that idiot!" Qin Yi said with his head held high and chest puffed out, full of disdain.
Such slander enraged Nian Qi, who immediately kicked Qin Yi, sending him flying several meters away.
"Yi'er!" Han Shu was heartbroken, and her gaze towards Qin Wan was filled with hatred.
"Whether or not you apologize is not up to you!" Qin Wan's icy face was devoid of any smile. "Either apologize now, or wait until His Majesty is informed of this matter and punishes you before apologizing!"
Qin Wan knew that Qin Yi was unwilling, but regardless of his willingness, the apology had to be made.
The only person present who could keep Qin Yi in check was Qin Huai, so when Qin Wan said those words, she was looking at Qin Huai.
"I've said my piece and given you the choice, so don't say I didn't warn you!"
After saying that, Qin Wan left with Nian Qi.
Qin Wan ruined the family dinner, leaving the family barely able to eat anything and feeling extremely angry.
Qin Huai's hands trembled with anger. He'd really overestimated himself by clinging to a useless prince.
"Master~"
Han Shu's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
And this rebellious son, why did he have to do this to the Fifth Prince at this time?
In their minds, it seemed that Qin Yi didn't think he did anything wrong, but rather that he chose the wrong time.
Qin Wan slapped Qin Yi, but the anger in her heart still seemed to have not been vented. When she returned to Wanyue Courtyard, her heart was still heavy.
Their engagement party was ruined today!
Qin Wan took a deep breath, wanting to have a proper talk with Xiao Jingyan.
But as soon as she came in, she smelled the fragrance.
Then I spotted the newly served meal.
Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly as she looked at Xiao Jingyan's honest smile. She knew that this was something Xiao Jingyan had prepared again.
