"Qin Yun? What do you mean by this?" Madam Min was furious!
She turned to look at Qin Yuanzhang and cried, "Master, at this hour, how can you still sit still! Don't you see this rebellious son bullying us, mother and daughter?"
Qin Yuanzhang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Qin Yun's cold glare stopped him!
Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't hold back either and struggled, "Qin Yun, what exactly do you want? Why are you tying me and Mother?"
"Staying up all night and coming to the Qin residence to capture us, Qin Yun, you're truly something!"
Qin Yun sneered!
Facing the servants, he said, "These two mouths are too foul. Not only do they not kneel before this official, but they dare to address this official by name. Slap each of them twenty times!" Qin Yun forcefully slammed the rosewood table beside him, exuding an undeniable aura of authority!
The two servants controlling Qin Yu and Madam Min kicked forward, eliciting pained groans from the mother and daughter!
The next second, they were forced to their knees!
The other two servants went to stand before the mother and daughter, respectively.
Seeing this, Madam Min hurriedly cried out, "No, no, Qin Yun, you little bitch! If you hit me today, you'll regret it!"
Qin Yu also became fearful! She placed her hopes on Qin Yuanzhang and said tearfully, "Father...!"
Qin Yun knew Qin Yu was attempting a plea for sympathy and immediately signaled the servants!
Without a word, the servants took off their shoes, pulled off their sock cloths, and stuffed them directly into Qin Yu's mouth. The other servant did the same!
Then came the sounds of "slap, slap, slap, slap" of loud slaps.
The slaps delivered by two grown men were far more forceful than those from ordinary maids or governesses!
Qin Yun watched the hatred in Madam Min and her daughter's eyes,
and their frustrated expressions of being unable to get back at her, which satisfied her immensely!
However, at this moment, Qin Yuanzhang, who had been watching, could no longer remain seated!
He stood up and approached Qin Yun, "Yun'er, quickly tell them to stop. If this continues... you'll cripple them!"
"Yu'er is getting married in a few days. It won't be good if she's disfigured!"
Qin Yun didn't even glance at Qin Yuanzhang!
There were some things that if she said them now, Qin Yuanzhang might have hit her even harder than those two servants!
Seeing that Qin Yun was unmoved, Qin Yuanzhang hurried forward, attempting to pull away the servants who were slapping.
Unfortunately!
The servants were all handpicked by Qin Yun for the residence! Each of them was incredibly strong!
Qin Yuanzhang, an old man past fifty, couldn't move them at all!
During this time, all the household staff had arrived and stood on either side, watching the scene of Madam Min and her daughter being beaten. Everyone dared not speak!
At the same time, Madam Zhang also quietly joined the crowd. Watching Madam Min and her daughter being beaten filled her with a sense of schadenfreude!
Soon!
Twenty slaps each, no more, no less, and the servants stopped their assault!
Qin Yu's delicate and fair face was instantly swollen like a pig's head. Due to the swelling, her features were squeezed together!
Madam Min was the same! Not only was her face swollen, but blood was also trickling from the corner of her mouth!
Seeing this! Qin Yun threw her head back and laughed, "Hahaha, Min Yueyue, Qin Yu, you look so ugly like this! If those men who admired you in the past saw you now, would they still like you?"
After waiting a few seconds and seeing them only struggling and not speaking, Qin Yun laughed again, "I almost forgot, you still have those stinky sock cloths in your mouths! I imagine that must feel quite good!"
Qin Yun gestured, and the two servants then pulled the sock cloths from Madam Min and her daughter's mouths.
At this moment, both of them were in too much pain to speak!
However, the fierce glint in their eyes grew more intense!
Qin Yun's gaze turned cold, and she said sternly, "If you disrespect this official again, I don't mind digging out your eyes!"
Madam Min and her daughter immediately lowered their eyelids.
Although they were unwilling in their hearts, in the face of a stronger power, they could only bow their heads!
"I just want to know, why are you doing this to us?" Qin Yu boldly asked.
Qin Yun sneered, "That's a very good question! This official will now tell you slowly!"
Glancing at Qin Yuanzhang, who was full of complaints not far away, Qin Yun smiled, "Lord Qin, when the superior is hearing the case, mind your attitude!"
"Me...? Oh..." Qin Yuanzhang wanted to say something but finally chose to remain silent and returned to his original seat.
After Qin Yuanzhang was seated!
Qin Yun then looked at Madam Min and Qin Yu!
"You mother and daughter are truly hateful! Some days ago, my face was covered in red spots. Everyone present knows this, right?"
Everyone in the hall nodded.
"The ugly red spots that appeared on my face previously were caused by poisoning, and the person who poisoned me was none other than the second wife, Madam Min!"
"Fortunately, by chance, this official met a divine physician. The physician immediately recognized that this official had been poisoned, and the poisoning had lasted for over ten years!"
Speaking of this, Qin Yun looked at Madam Min with hatred in her eyes. "Learning that I had been poisoned for over ten years, I guessed there must be an inside traitor in the mansion! So... this official began to investigate discreetly, and finally, with Heaven's blessings, I found the culprit!"
Hearing this, Madam Min shook her head, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Yun ignored Madam Min and continued, "There is a poisonous plant in the Western Regions called Zhuxuecao. This plant is not much different from ordinary plants, and most people cannot identify it at all!"
"And the poison that this official has been afflicted with is precisely caused by Zhuxuecao!"
Qin Yuanzhang asked doubtfully, "Yun'er, didn't you say that Zhuxuecao is in the Western Regions? Madam Min has never been to the Western Regions!"
Qin Yun looked at Qin Yuanzhang as if he were an idiot. "Madam Min may not have gone, but that doesn't mean the people around her haven't!"
"Although Zhuxuecao is a poisonous plant from the Western Regions, this official recently discovered a plant in Madam Min's western backyard!"
At this point, Xiao Ju brought in a pot of what appeared to be an ordinary plant!
She walked through the crowd and came directly to Qin Yun's side. "Young Master, this was found in Madam Min's backyard. It was hidden very secretly by Madam Min. It was hard for this servant to find it!"
Qin Yun took the pot of Zhuxuecao!
She stood up!
And walked around in front of everyone!
"Everyone, please take a good look. This is Zhuxuecao. It appears ordinary on the surface! But in reality, it is extremely poisonous! And Madam Min has been cultivating this plant for over ten years!"
Madam Min hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense. This Zhuxuecao was brought by your maid. Perhaps you deliberately instructed her to frame me?"
Qin Yun calmly replied, "Whether I framed you or not, the servants in your courtyard know best!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mama Rong, who was in the crowd, stepped forward and knelt in the center of the hall!
"This old servant can testify that this pot of Zhuxuecao is a highly poisonous item that the second concubine has been cultivating for ten years!"
The moment Mama Rong said this, Madam Min was stunned!
Mama Rong was brought into the mansion by her and was considered an old servant attending to her!
She was usually loyal, but at a crucial moment, she had betrayed her!
Qin Yun was also somewhat surprised!
Her first thought was!
This matter had something to do with Qingshan!
She knew Qingshan was very capable, but she hadn't expected him to be this capable!
A few days ago, she had instructed Qingshan to subdue the oily big one, but she hadn't expected him to subdue Mama Rong, who was close to Madam Min!
One had to know that Mama Rong was an old servant by Madam Min's side, the most difficult one to handle!
Since Qingshan had handled it behind her back without informing her, was this a surprise for her?
