Novel Bin Chapter 716: You Killed Her?
Xue Zongguang’s heart ached when he saw that the finger marks on her face had not disappeared.
After putting the teacup on the table, he said softly, “Qin’er, it’s my fault today. I shouldn’t have hit you.”
“Hmph.” Xue Qin’s expression softened a little when she heard her father, who had always been domineering, apologize to her.
Madam Wan also hurriedly said, “Alright, alright. There’s no overnight grudge between father and daughter. Qin’er is also in the wrong. Let’s let this matter pass. Let’s not mention it anymore.”
Xue Qin wanted to say that she was not in the wrong. So what if she admired her master? When she became her master’s concubine in the future, her family would rise with the tide. She was doing this for her parents’ own good.
However, Madam Wan kept winking at her. She also knew that now was not the time to push her luck. She had to take it slow to change her father’s mind.
Hence, she nodded softly. “I don’t blame Father either.”
“It’s good that you don’t blame me.” Xue Zongguang handed her a cup. “This is sugar water. Take it as my apology. Drink it and show that you forgive me, okay?”
“…Okay.” Xue Qin thought that her father still doted on her after all. Otherwise, why would he make such precious sugar water for her to drink?
Hence, she became more confident in persuading him and marrying her master in the future. She was happy and drank the sugar water in one go.
However, not long after she finished drinking, she suddenly felt a little dizzy and her eyelids were heavy.
After a while, she said uncontrollably, “Father, Mother, I, I want to sleep for a while…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell onto the bed.
“Ah…” Madam Wan was shocked and quickly pushed her. “Qin’er, Qin’er, what’s wrong?”
“What are you shouting for?” Xue Zongguang glared at her and took away the cup that Xue Qin had left on the bed.
Madam Wan was stunned. Seeing that he was not worried at all and was still moving slowly, she thought of the cup of sugar water just now. What else did she not understand?
She looked at him in disbelief. “You, you killed her? She’s our only daughter. How dare you kill her?”
Madam Wan was no longer afraid of him. She rushed up and wanted to fight him to the death.
Xue Zongguang turned to the side. “Alright, what’s with the fuss? Who killed her? She just drank some calming tea and fell asleep. Look carefully.”
Madam Wan was stunned and quickly reached out to check under Xue Qin’s nose. As expected, her daughter was still breathing, and she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked at her husband resentfully. “What are you doing? Why did you give her some calming tea for no reason?”
“What else? Should we wait for her to go to Young Master’s place in the middle of the night and do something shameless?”
Madam Wan was shocked, and her expression instantly became unnatural.
Her husband indeed knew their daughter very well. Just before Xue Zongguang came, Xue Qin was indeed trying her best to persuade her to help her fulfill her wish.
After all, this was a rare opportunity. If Young Master left tomorrow, he might never come again.
Madam Wan was not an opinionated person and was almost convinced.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zongguang decided to take drastic measures and let her sleep until tomorrow morning.
Xue Zongguang snorted. “Why are you still standing here? Go to the kitchen and make dinner.”
Madam Wan left dejectedly.
Only then did Xue Zongguang look at Xue Qin, who was lying unconscious on the bed. He sighed slightly, covered her with the blanket, and left the room, locking the door behind him.
