Qin Sheng noticed that something was wrong with Qin Yunting's eyes, so she turned around, vigilant. Before she could fully make sense of her surroundings, someone hugged her body and stopped her from moving.
The person even covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent her from making a sound.
Qin Yunting clenched her hand into a fist and smashed it fiercely into Qin Sheng's chest. Damn it! Ha Siqi had been dating her for so long, but he still couldn't get over Qin Sheng. He'd gone against her wishes for this devious girl.
How could she bear this humiliation? She had been a noble lady for 18 years, but a wild girl had near enough beaten her.
Qin Sheng bent down, and the person behind her fell to the ground in front of her.
The woman was clearly hurt by the fall and let go of Qin Sheng.
"Qiu Hui! I knew it was you!" Qin Sheng said coldly.
Qiu Hui was Qin Yunting's maid. It was not the first time the two of them had teamed up and beaten Qin Sheng.
"So what? I'm eldest Miss Qin's maid!" Qiu Hui got up from the ground, grimacing in pain. Qin Yunting was going to be engaged to the Duke soon. When she became the Duchess in the future, Qiu Hui would follow her and live in a castle overseas!
Qin Sheng expression hardened and she looked proud. Even the maids here seemed to have a higher status than her! When she looked up, she was stunned to see a man standing in the corridor on the second floor, holding onto the carved wooden banister. He looked like a grim monster.
Damn, had he been watching her get beaten up just now?
"How about I go tell the Duke what you've just done? Let him see what kind of person he is going to marry!" She deliberately provoked Qin Yunting and then slapped her face.
Originally, she had wanted to help Qin Yunting, but now she wasn't in the mood. If she didn't want to be with the Duke, Qin Yunting wouldn't be able to take advantage of her.
Qin Yunting laughed lightly. Not only did she not fight back, she even stretched out her hand to pull at the expensive dress on her body.
Qin Sheng looked at Qin Yunting angrily. Before she could react, Qin Yunting burst into tears.
Qiu Hui, who was beside her, hugged her young mistress in a protective embrace and shouted, "Someone come quickly! Please, come quickly!"
Zheng Min was startled and walked out of the living room. "What are you shouting for? You're so unruly! You can stop doing that now!"
"Second Madam, eldest Miss Qin was hit by little Miss Qin!" Qiu Hui immediately said.
Qin Yunting covered her face and cried even louder. "Mother, Qin Sheng hit me!"
Qin Sheng's mouth was open wide enough that an egg could fit in it. She did not expect Qin Yunting to be so ruthless. Qin Yunting hit her on the chest, which hadn't been seen by the others. And where she hit Qin Yunting, everyone could see the red mark on her face.
"Cousin, aren't you afraid of consequences?" she asked coldly.
"Qin Sheng, you hit me because the Duke likes me and wants to be engaged to me, didn't you? I didn't want to steal Li Ang at all! I'm engaged to Ha Siqi." Qin Yunting choked. She looked as if she had been wronged.
"Qin Sheng! You've gone too far. Your cousin didn't steal anything from you. You ran away without seeing Duke Li Ang. I asked Yunting to entertain the Duke. What's wrong with that? Why did you hit Yunting?"
He Fen walked out of the living room and scolded Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng could clearly see that Roland's expression was grim. Apparently, she also believed Qin Yunting's words. There wasn't a single injury on her body, but in comparison, it looked as though Qin Yunting had been hurt badly. Anyone would have believed Qin Yunting.
"No matter what, I won't marry the Duke! And my cousin is infatuated with Husky, so I don't think she'll be able to abandon her old fiancé and take a new one. I think Madam is wasting her efforts to marry her son to our cousin. It would be better to leave with the Duke quickly!"
Qin Yunting, who was crying, turned pale. Qin Sheng was too devious, saying that she would not abandon her old fiancé and like someone new. If she was forced to do so, how could she refuse the marriage with the Duke?
Roland was very unhappy. This girl was too uneducated. It was one thing for her to hit people, but she even said that she would not marry the Duke, no matter what!
With her son's looks, he was so handsome that even a little girl would not be able to close her legs! So what was this girl playing at?
"She really has no control! What should I do? Does she need to be taught a lesson?"
He Fen immediately said, "Madam, don't be angry. My granddaughter is indeed stubborn and unruly. I'll punish her right now!" She turned to look at Qin Sheng. "You hit your cousin and tore her clothes. I'm sending you to your room to reflect on your actions!"
She did not dare to punish him too harshly, but she was afraid that Roland would see that they were not treating Qin Sheng well.
Qin Sheng was very satisfied with this punishment. She did not want to see Duke Li Ang. She ran upstairs and glared at the man who had been watching the show. He saw that she was wronged and did not say a word!
She walked into her room and closed the door behind her. The man pushed the door with his hand. No matter how much strength she used, the man easily pushed the door open, squeezed in, and locked the door behind him.
"BASTARD! Look at my bad luck. Haven't you seen enough? " She could not help but curse.
The evildoer leaned against the door and said, "Stupid girl, you stole my photo, stole my earring, and even threatened me. Do you know what will happen to you?"
Qin Sheng rolled her eyes. How much did he hate her? She decided to give him back his belongings, but had one condition...
"If you want the things back, I'll give them to you. But let's talk about a deal. You and your mother will leave. You are not allowed to marry me or Qin Yunting. Only then will I return the photos and earrings to you!"
The corner of Li Ang's lips twitched. "But the things are mine anyway! They should be returned to me. You have no right to negotiate with me!"
He had an urge to hit her. She couldn't threaten him, so she had offered a deal. The question was, did she have the right to negotiate with him?
More importantly, he was the one who had rejected her. And now he was actually being rejected by this stupid girl. She even said that no matter what, she wouldn't marry him. It was a miracle that she could still talk!
He didn't understand. Where did she get the courage to keep acting atrociously in front of him?
"You don't agree to my terms then? Fine, then marry Qin Yunting! I didn't know you liked to have other people's leftovers." She reached out to grab Li Ang. She wanted to open the door and push him away, but the man grabbed her again and pulled her into his arms. With a flip, he pressed her against the door.
His long fingers slowly slid down her cheeks and his body pressed against her body. "But you're not leftovers, are you? Hmm?"
His voice had a devilish charm to it, and he ignored her questions.
"Whether I'm leftovers or not has nothing to do with you! I'm not your meal, and you're not my type either. We hate each other! Don't tell me you still want to get engaged to me?" shouted Qin Sheng.
