Chapter 18 Qin Wan, is she unwilling to come?
Real wound medicine?
Qin Lang was stunned. What did he mean by "real wound medicine"? How come the medicine he gave her before was fake?
Seeing Qin Lang's incredulous expression, Wan Shuang spoke again.
"Young Master, you don't need to look at me like that. I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask the family physician. Then you'll know whether the wound medicine sent here is real or fake!"
Because the second young master brought fake wound medicine, the young lady's wound immediately reopened after applying it, causing profuse bleeding that couldn't be stopped.
As Wan Shuang spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. The scene from that day still flashed through her mind. She had thought that her mistress was going to bleed to death, but thankfully she had pulled through.
Judging from the way Wan Shuang looks, she doesn't seem to be lying.
But how could this wound medicine be fake? It was clearly something he fetched from the military camp overnight.
Qin Lang felt a sharp pain in her heart. No wonder her injuries were healing so slowly; it turned out the wound medicine was fake.
But why didn't she say anything? If she had, she would have found the real wound medicine.
Because of the caning incident, she was resentful and didn't say anything when she delivered the wrong medicine, just letting her continue to suffer with this disabled body.
How did she become like this?
Qin Lang remembered that she was someone who would cry and scream if she suffered even the slightest injury, so why is she not saying a word now?
Qin Lang was angry. He was angry not only at Qin Wan, but also at himself for sending fake wound medicine.
"If there's nothing else, Second Young Master, please leave. Miss has just taken her medicine and needs to rest!" Wan Shuang helped Qin Wan lie down.
Then, they ushered Qin Lang out in a gesture of dismissal.
Qin Lang wanted to find out why the wound medicine he had given her turned out to be fake.
Su Yan'er, who was standing at the door, saw Qin Lang come out, but Qin Wan was not following behind him, so she knew that Qin Wan was not going to listen to the opera.
She lifted her skirt and caught up with Qin Lang, who was walking quickly. "Second brother, isn't fourth sister going?"
Qin Lang walked very fast, and Su Yan'er had to run to keep up. Seeing how anxious he was, a sense of unease began to rise in her heart.
Suddenly, Qin Lang stopped, and Su Yan'er, not stopping in time, bumped into Qin Lang's back, making her nose feel a little sore.
"Yan'er, your eldest brother has booked a private room at Fanlou Restaurant, and your third brother has already gone there. When you arrive, someone will escort you in. It's almost time, so hurry up and go!"
Su Yan'er asked, puzzled, "Isn't Second Brother coming along?"
He just said that he had never heard a theatrical troupe from Jiangnan perform and that he would take him there. Is he going to change his mind?
Su Yan'er was practically wringing the handkerchief in her hand to shreds. She wanted to listen to the opera; she wanted to go with him, not with someone else.
Qin Lang replied, "I have other matters to attend to. You go ahead, I'll be there shortly!"
Su Yan'er wasn't stupid; if she said "later," she probably wouldn't go.
Now she regretted it; she regretted standing at the door instead of inside the outer room.
That way she could hear their conversation and know what her fourth sister and second brother had said, which led to the second brother's promise to take her to see the opera, but now he had gone back on his word.
Su Yan'er's nose stung even more. When she learned that Qin Lang was taking her to see a play, she had been looking forward to it, fearing that something might happen halfway through and interrupt the performance. In the end, she was interrupted.
"Second brother, what's the rush? Can't we listen to the opera first and then do what we need to do?" Su Yan'er pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.
A pair of tearful eyes looked at Qin Lang, making him feel somewhat guilty, but his most important task right now was to figure out why the wound medicine was fake.
"Yan'er, I really have something important to do and can't be with you today!" Qin Lang looked at his personal servant Qingyan who was following him and instructed him, "Qingyan, escort Yan'er to Fanlou!"
"Yes!"
After leaving a message, Qin Lang quickly departed.
He walked very fast, so fast that Su Yan'er didn't even have time to react before he disappeared.
“Miss Yan’er, please don’t be late, please!” Qingyan said.
Su Yan'er came to her senses, glanced in the direction Qin Lang had left, and then looked at Wanyue Courtyard behind her. It was after her second brother came out of her fourth sister's room that he said he wouldn't go to the opera with her.
This has nothing to do with my fourth sister; it shouldn't have been instigated by her!
Su Yan'er tried to convince herself, but the more she tried, the more ridiculous she found the idea. How could it be unrelated?
In an instant, a chill flashed in Su Yan'er's eyes, the kind of chill that comes from looking at someone as an enemy.
Fanlou.
There was still a quarter of an hour before the show started, but Fanlou was already packed to the brim. This private room was reserved by Qin Ye using his status as the heir apparent; otherwise, there wouldn't have been any available.
Escorted by Qingyan, Su Yan'er squeezed in from the back and breathed a sigh of relief when she entered the private room.
"Young Master, Third Young Master, Miss Yan'er has been delivered. I must go back to find the Second Young Master!" With that, Qingyan left.
Qin Ye and Qin Yi were somewhat surprised to see that only Su Yan'er had come, and that they hadn't seen Qin Wan or Qin Lang either.
"Where's Second Brother? And Qin Wan, is she unwilling to come?" Qin Yi asked, but he already had a vague answer in his heart.
Su Yan'er shook her head and replied, "My second brother and I went to invite my fourth sister to watch the opera, but my fourth sister wouldn't even let us in. My second brother forced his way in. I didn't hear what they said."
However, when my second brother came out, he looked very angry. I think it must be because my fourth sister was still upset that I was coming and didn't want to come with me!
Su Yan'er took the blame upon herself, and the more she did this, the more dissatisfaction she aroused.
"Hmph, fine, don't come then!" Sure enough, Qin Yi immediately got angry.
"She's the one in the wrong. We kindly invited her to the opera, and she's putting on airs. My elder brother even put aside his military duties and booked a room for her, but she still doesn't appreciate it. She just doesn't know what's good for her..."
Qin Ye remained silent, turned around and walked to the terrace of the private room. Looking at the crowd of people below, he found the noise annoying.
He had been waiting here for half an hour. During that time, he did nothing but think about how to ease the tension with Qin Wan. He felt that the slap he gave her during the day was wrong, and he thought that this opportunity to watch the opera was the best chance.
But she didn't give him a chance. She must still be angry. She was angry that he slapped her. But if she hadn't said those things, how could he have hit her?
Even if she was wronged at the birthday banquet, so much time has passed, and he had already given her a white jade flute as compensation. Why couldn't she let it go? Why did she have to make such a fuss?
The more Qin Ye thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he slammed his clenched fists heavily against the railing in front of him.
"What's troubling the young master of the Pingding Marquis's mansion that he's venting his anger on the railing?" came a question from the terrace of a private room nearby.
Qin Ye looked over upon hearing the sound and saw that it was the Fifth Prince, Xiao Jingyan, in the next room.
"Greetings, Fifth Prince!" Qin Ye bowed, and the people inside the room quickly came over to bow as well.
Although the terrace was not open, it was only blocked by a waist-high railing. Looking at the people bowing, Xiao Jingyan waved his hand and said.
"Young Master, there's no need for such formalities. I'm just here to watch the show!" As he spoke, Xiao Jingyan looked around and saw these people. He then asked, "Where are Second Young Master Qin and Fourth Miss Qin?"
