Chapter 658 Discussing Divorce
Qin Wanning cried in her mother's and brother's arms for a long time before she calmed down.
The three sat down in the room. When Madam Qin saw Qin Wan Ning's still pale face and sunken cheeks, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Ning'er, tell your mother how the He family bullied you. Your mother will definitely get justice for you."
Qin Lang also looked furious and said to Qin Wanning, "A'ning, tell me and Mother how the He family bullied you, and we will definitely get revenge for you."
Qin Lang and Qin Wanning are twins. Qin Lang was born half an hour earlier. The two siblings originally had similar personalities, both being lively and outgoing.
However, ever since Qin Wanning and He Yulin met and realized their feelings for each other, Qin Wanning began to slowly change her personality, learning to be more composed in preparation for taking charge of the household affairs in the future. The changes in the past few years have been significant, and she has become an outstanding role model among the noble ladies in the capital.
Qin Lang remained in the western border region, riding on horseback day and night, his temperament unchanged from before—straightforward, unrestrained, flamboyant, and passionate.
Hearing that his twin sister had been humiliated by her husband's family, he could no longer tolerate it. He picked a horse and returned to the capital with Madam Qin, determined to stand up for his sister.
Qin Wanning did not hide anything and told her mother and brother everything that had happened in the past year.
"This is utterly outrageous!" Madam Qin slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"This He family is utterly unworthy of being scholars; they can't distinguish right from wrong, and they even condone something as simple as poisoning!"
Qin Lang, dressed in a blue robe, had initially appeared quite gentle, but after hearing Qin Wan Ning's words, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He paced around the room with his hands on his hips, gritting his teeth and saying angrily, "That He Yulin, he said the best things when he proposed, but I didn't expect him to be such a fool. He even dared to lay a hand on you and harm my little nephew. I'll make him regret it!"
Qin Wan gazed at her mother and brother, deeply moved. With her mother and brother supporting her, she no longer needed to endure.
But she knew Qin Lang's temper; if he said he would deal with He Yulin, he would definitely do so.
Qin Wanning was afraid that he would go too far and something bad would happen, so she advised, "Second brother, I don't want to get entangled with them anymore. I just want to go back to the Western Territory with you as soon as possible."
Seeing her daughter's concerns, Madam Qin patted Qin Wanning's hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, your second brother knows what he's doing."
After saying that, he said to Qin Lang without the slightest hesitation, "Lang'er, teach him a lesson, but don't hurt him in any vital areas."
Qin Lang nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do. When should we bring up the divorce?"
"This marriage was a royal decree that the He family sought back then. If it is to be broken off, we must naturally ask His Majesty. Your father has already written a memorial. After speaking with the He family today, I will present it to His Majesty tomorrow."
"it is good."
At this moment, a maid came to announce, "Young Madam, the Second Madam has arrived and is in the hall."
Qin Wanning found it strange and asked Madam Qin and Qin Lang, "Didn't Mother and Second Brother have a servant announce their arrival?"
Qin Lang snorted coldly with a look of disgust: "The He family has been bullying you so much that my mother and I were worried about you and wanted to come in quickly to see how you were doing, so we hit the servant who opened the door."
These people bullied his sister, and he expects him to be respectful to them? That's just wishful thinking!

When Madam Xu received a report from her servants that several people claiming to be from the Qin family had beaten up the servants and guards and broken into the mansion, she immediately understood what was going on.
This is because the Qin family heard about their daughter's ordeal and traveled all the way from the western border to demand an explanation.
"Send a message to the master and the young master, saying that someone from the Qin family has arrived."
After giving instructions to the servant, she rushed to Qinfang Courtyard.
Before long, Madam Qin helped Qin Wanning into the hall. Qin Lang, looking like a demon, walked on Qin Wanning's other side, as if he wanted to devour her.
Madam Qin's face was naturally not pleasant either.
Madam Xu stood up and said with a smile, "When did you and the second young master return? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We could have welcomed you earlier."
I've met Madam Xu before, at Qin Wanning and He Yulin's wedding.
The two exchanged brief greetings, and Madam Qin thought she was a virtuous woman. However, as a fellow member of the He family, Madam Qin did not give her a kind look. "There's no need for such formalities. My perfectly fine daughter married into your He family, and in just two short years, you've managed to ruin her like this. I had to come in and see for myself, so you wouldn't have to cover it up beforehand."
Madam Qin's tone was very harsh.
She had no intention of giving the He family any face, even in front of so many maids and servants.
Madam Xu maintained a smiling face, seemingly unconcerned about Madam Qin's accusations. "What are you saying, in-law? Once A-Ning marries into the He family, she becomes a member of the He family. We naturally treat her as family. It's just that some misunderstandings have arisen."
She walked up to Qin Wanning, took her hand and said, "A-Ning and Yu-Lin used to be so loving, but they had a falling out because of someone who didn't know what was good for them. What couple doesn't quarrel and bicker? Don't take it to heart, and you'll last a long time together."
"Thank you for your guidance, Second Aunt, but there is a life between me and Young Master He, and we can never go back." After saying this, Qin Wanning withdrew her hand from Madam Xu's.
Ms. Xu awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Wan Ning actually called her husband "Young Master He"!
It seems this relationship has come to an end.
Seeing that his attempts to reconcile the situation were futile, he smiled apologetically and said, "Please sit down! Ah Ning is still in her postpartum period and shouldn't stand for too long."
Now, in the entire He family, the only person Qin Wanning still feels reluctant to part with is Madam Xu.
Since she took over the household, she has never been harsh on Qinfang Courtyard or on her.
They never stopped giving me supplements and they often came to visit.
If it weren't for what happened before, she and He Yulin could have lived a good life together. Madam Xu was a good elder.
However, given her current situation, she cannot show any reluctance, otherwise it would become an obstacle to her departure.
Madam Qin and Qin Lang remained seated on either side of Qin Wan Ning.
Madam Qin and Qin Wanning were both very proper, but Qin Lang sat casually with his arms crossed, looking like someone not to be trifled with.
Madam Qin spoke first, "Second Madam, Lang'er and I came back from the Western Border specifically for Ning'er's sake. You are aware of what has happened in the manor. My Ning'er and He Yulin's relationship has come to an end. Please find someone in charge to come and discuss their divorce."
Sure enough.
Xu thought to himself.
It seems there's absolutely no room for maneuver.
Madam Xu sighed and smiled, saying, "Please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to fetch Uncle and Yulin."
Less than half an hour later, He Yulin and He Wen appeared one after the other at the entrance of Qinfang Courtyard, both covered in sweat.
One was in purple, the other in red; both of their official robes were almost completely soaked.
He Yulin steadied himself by holding onto the door frame, panting heavily, and met Qin Wanning's gaze.
Seemingly anticipating what was about to happen, He Yulin's once gentle and refined face was now filled with panic, and his eyes were full of pleading.
Madam Qin looked at the father and son and said coldly, "Now that everyone is here, please sit down and let's talk about business."
