Chapter 170 What Didn't Matter in the Past Has Become Crucial Now

"What are you fussing about now?" Qin Huaiyong gave Madam Di a cold look.

"I... How am I fussing? I'm already ill! Who would've expected those girls to spill the medicine all over me? General, I'm the injured one!" Madam Di started sobbing. She reached out to show her bandaged hand as she swept.

Quite a large patch of her skin was scalded. The cloth that bandaged her hand was quite long as well.

Qin Huaiyong's gaze traveled to her face and landed on the ointment-coated scar on it. A flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes. He was getting increasingly sick of Madam Di.

"Get Yuru to serve you when you're ill next time. Don't try anything with Wanru!" Qin Huaiyong said callously.

"General, I've raised her for so many years and I'm a senior in life too. Shouldn't she care for me when I'm ill?" Madam Di said in dissatisfaction, wiping her tears. She couldn't accept failing to torment Qin Wanru this time. How could she let such a good chance go to waste? It wasn't easy for her to get her brother's support. She didn't want this to slip out of her hands.

"You know very well what you've done!" Qin Huaiyong's anger surged when he saw how persistent Madam Di was. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he walked over to her with large strides and dragged her out of the house. He used so much strength that she nearly fell.

Sensing that things were going south, Madam Di hastily grabbed a nearby pillar and asked in a panic, "General, what are you doing?"

"I'm taking you back to Duke Yong's Mansion. Qin's Mansion is too small for such an ambitious person like you!" Qin Huaiyong tugged with force, causing Madam Di to loosen her hold over the pillar. She was so frightened that she cried out and immediately threw herself at him. She hugged his leg, refusing to let go.

"General, how am I ambitious? I'm just ill and wants my daughters to dote on me. Who knew Qi Rongzhi would be so insensible as to join us and even make a mess out of the house?" Madam Di knew from Qin Huaiyong's stern expression that things were dire. Thus, she instantly pushed all the blame on Qi Rongzhi.

She never imagined that Duke Yong's Mansion, typically Qin Huaiyong's taboo, was no longer as effective a deterrent as it used to be.

It was useful for giving Qin Huaiyong a scare, but she never thought of leaving Qin's Mansion.

Qin Huaiyong looked coldly at her with an unfathomable gaze. He pressed his lips tightly together and remained quiet.

Madam Di became terrified when his bad mood and silence persisted. She hugged his leg and wept sorrowfully, "General, I'm not trying anything. It was just an accident. I was just mad because of my injury!"

Qin Huaiyong's expression remained cold. He pulled his leg away with force, kicking Madam Di in the process and causing her to fall. A loud creak rang out when her elbow hit the ground.

She could hardly worry about the pain in her elbow now. She turned her hand over to hoist herself upward and swiftly embraced Qin Huaiyong. She pleaded, "General, I, I won't do this again. I still want to see our daughter marry into a good household and watch her enjoy a splendid life!"

She had never seen him this furious in their many years of marriage. She didn't dare to go against him anymore and started placating him.

"You want to watch your daughter enjoy a splendid life?" Qin Huaiyong grabbed Madam Di by the collar and lifted her to her feet. His gaze was still cold.

Madam Di was truly panicking. She subconsciously tugged at Qin Huaiyong's hand, trying her best to make him let go of her. His tight hold over her collar smothered her. Even breathing felt difficult. Her face reddened but no words would come. Right now, she felt as if she could see the murderous intent in his eyes.
