Chapter 50 Even a Great Immortal Could Not Save Him
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang immediately realized something was wrong. The evil spirits had not yet been completely eliminated, and if they were to call someone over, all their efforts would be in vain.
Qin Lang instinctively tried to stop Wan Shuang, reaching out to knock her unconscious.
As Qin Lang approached Wan Shuang, Qin Wan was furious. She wanted to protect Wan Shuang, but she was in a precarious situation herself and could only watch helplessly as Qin Lang drew closer.
"Go..." Qin Wan pushed Wan Shuang with all her might.
This caused Qin Lang's chop to miss its mark.
Wan Shuang then realized that Qin Lang was also going to harm her, but she couldn't run away. What would happen to her mistress if she ran away?
"Guards! The second young master has killed someone! The second young master is trying to kill Miss..."
Qin Lang had practiced martial arts since childhood, and Wan Shuang was like an ant in front of him. Even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't escape.
Qin Lang's eyes flashed with ferocity as he took a step forward and stood in front of Wan Shuang.
A sudden clap of thunder illuminated the room, and the lightning flashed across Qin Lang's face, making him look like a vengeful ghost.
Before Wan Shuang could utter a sound, Qin Lang's hand chopped down, knocking Wan Shuang unconscious.
Wan Shuang collapsed to the ground right in front of Qin Wan.
Qin Wan angrily raised her eyes and watched Qin Lang, who looked like a vengeful ghost, gradually approach her. She was even afraid, but she could only grasp the dagger that had fallen on the bed with one hand.
She thought, if I don't survive today, I'll kill one of them to take with me.
Just then, a shout from the doorway interrupted Qin Lang's steps.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
It was Qin Ye's voice.
Qin Wan immediately relaxed. After all, Qin Ye was the heir apparent. Even if he wanted to kill her, he would not allow this to happen in the Pingding Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, the death of his younger sister in the mansion would definitely affect his career as the heir apparent.
"Big brother, why are you back?" Qin Lang was surprised. Wasn't his brother supposed to be on duty at the military camp tonight?
When Qin Ye came in, he saw Chun Tao lying at the door, and there was another person lying inside. He also saw Qin Wan curled up on the bed, covered in bloodstains.
Qin Ye immediately became angry and questioned Qin Wan as he walked towards her.
"You did all of this?"
Hearing the voice, Qin Lang knew that his elder brother was angry.
Before Qin Lang could explain, Qin Yi jogged in with another peach wood sword.
"Second brother, I'm here. Let's continue..."
When he saw Qin Ye, the excitement on his face subsided a little. "Big...Big Brother, why are you back?"
"It seems you were also involved in this!" Qin Ye said through gritted teeth.
The rage emanating from him seemed to want to devour the two of them.
The farce is over.
Qin Wan's abdominal cramps were caused by drinking unclean water. After the physician induced vomiting, Qin Wan felt some relief from the abdominal pain.
She should have been resting at this time, but she was worried about Wan Shuang and Chun Tao, so she asked.
"Physician Liu, how are Wan Shuang and Chun Tao?"
"They are both fine and will wake up early tomorrow morning." The physician handed the vomit to the maid outside, sighed, and shook his head.
"Miss, the wound on your back still needs treatment. Please have the maid apply this ointment to your body!"
Qin Wan was, after all, an unmarried woman, and treating her injuries required careful attention. Although the physician was a doctor, there was a difference between men and women, and unless absolutely necessary, etiquette should be the priority.
Hearing that the two were alright, Qin Wan was relieved. After the physician put down the medicine bottle, he left the room.
ancestral hall.
Qin Lang and Qin Yi knelt before their ancestors.
Qin Huai sat in the seat of honor, his face full of anger. He just couldn't understand how these two could do something so absurd.
"Father, my second brother and I were really just helping Qin Wan get rid of the evil spirits on her body, we didn't mean to hurt her!" Qin Yi was still trying to argue.
"Shut up! You almost killed your sister, and you still want to deny it?"
"Father, we..."
"My lord!" The physician entered from outside, interrupting Qin Yi's attempt to continue.
Qin Huai, his previous rage vanished, and quickly stood up to ask, "Wan'er, how is she?"
The physician bowed respectfully, but upon glancing at the two kneeling figures, he sighed helplessly. He probably hadn't expected that these two would actually harbor murderous intent.
"Reporting to the Marquis, the water that the Fourth Miss drank contained a large amount of lime, which is extremely harmful to the body. If I had induced vomiting any later, I'm afraid even a celestial being would have been unable to save the young lady's health!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Qin Yi, who had just wanted to argue, was suddenly speechless.
He almost killed his own sister!
The physician's words kept echoing in his ears, but this couldn't be; he had clearly listened to the master's advice...
"You bastards!" Qin Huai was so angry that he kicked each of them in the back.
They were kicked so hard they fell to the ground.
Qin Yi still didn't believe it; perhaps the physician had made a mistake.
"Father, are you sure you're not mistaken? I heard about this method from someone when I was in Jiangnan. They said it could remove evil spirits from a person. Qin Wan has changed a lot lately; she must be possessed by evil spirits, so..."
Qin Lang remained silent, thinking that even if he were beaten to death today, he would deserve it.
How could he have actually believed the third brother's words? Recalling the way Qin Wan looked at him just now, her gaze was filled with incomprehension, anger, and murderous intent.
Thinking about it now, he's a little scared.
My relationship with Wan'er was already strained lately, and now this has happened. I'm afraid Wan'er really won't forgive me.
Qin Lang beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret, realizing he shouldn't have listened to his third brother.
Qin Ye, standing to the side, seemed to have caught on to something.
"Third brother, who told you about this method?" Qin Ye asked.
Qin Yi's eyes were slightly red, and he sobbed as he said, "I heard it from a Taoist priest. He said that adding lime and talisman ash to water can ward off evil spirits..."
"You dare mention evil spirits? We are a family of military generals, and we are the least likely to believe in ghosts and gods. You should dare to say it!" In response, Qin Huai kicked him again. This time, he seemed to be really angry.
If word gets out that the elder brother of the Pingding Marquis's family conspired to murder his sister, how will the Pingding Marquis's family maintain its standing in Fengdu City in the future?
How could he hold his head high in front of all the ministers?
"Third Young Master, it's true that lime is said to ward off evil spirits, but it's not something you should drink. Don't you understand this basic principle, Third Young Master, given your extensive knowledge? Luckily, Fourth Miss is alive today, otherwise you might be the one to bear the blame!"
After saying this, the physician shook his head again. He was afraid of offending the Marquis's family with his impassioned words, but he was really heartbroken by Qin Wan's condition just now. What she had gone through was all caused by their ignorance.
After the physician left, Qin Ye walked to Qin Yi's side, squatted down, and asked again, "What kind of Taoist priest are you talking about? Do you know his name?"
Qin Yi must have been hurt by the kick, because he shook his head while crying: "I don't know. After I told Zhang Yue about Qin Wan's changes, it was Zhang Yue who took me there!"
Qin Ye frowned, a bad premonition creeping over him.
