Chapter 187 Too Close
The two were too close, and Xie Yuchuan was looking down at Qin Shuyu, which was quite oppressive, forcing Qin Shuyu to stand up and look him in the eye.
Just as she was about to stand up, Xie Yuchuan stretched out a hand and pressed her shoulders back, forcing her to sit on the chair.
Xie Yuchuan moved his hand that was pressing on her shoulder to the side, to her white neck, and suddenly lifted her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"I'm talking to you!"
"Did you know that Qin Zihong would go? Do you want to see me embarrassed?"
"There are only a few people in the capital who dare to compete for the position of deputy commander. How dare he, a young man who hasn't even grown up yet, who only knows how to stir up trouble! How dare he! Was it your father who recommended him?"
Qin Shuyu still did not show any panic on her face. She did not answer but asked:
"Could it be possible that the Marquis could still lose?"
"Whether Qin Zihong goes or not, it has nothing to do with Lord Hou."
Yes, it has nothing to do with him whether Qin Zihong goes or not.
But today, he just lost to Qin Zihong.
This made Xie Yuchuan feel ashamed and angry.
Now seeing Qin Shuyu's indifferent look and hearing her mention the embarrassing thing, Xie Yuchuan's fingers gradually tightened and tightly grasped Qin Shuyu's throat.
Su Zhu had been watching the inner room with concern. Seeing that Xie Yuchuan wanted to harm her young lady, Su Zhu rushed in panic, no longer caring that such behavior was an offense to her master.
"Sir, the young lady has always been very kind to you."
"Even if you don't love the young lady anymore, you still have to consider the Qin family's reputation."
Xie Yuchuan saw Qin Shuyu's face turn pale instantly and her breathing became difficult, as if he was about to strangle her to death, so Xie Yuchuan let go.
Seeing Qin Shuyu taking deep breaths of fresh air, his thin body kept rising and falling as if he was gasping for breath.
Xie Yuchuan picked up the whip on the embroidery frame again and whipped Su Zhu who was rushing towards him, venting all his anger on Su Zhu.
"Snapped--"
"Clap--"
"Ah! Lord, spare my life!"
"What a cunning slave! How dare a slave threaten me."
"Don't think that just because you are from the Qin Mansion, I won't dare to hit you."
"Now that you have entered the Qin Mansion, even if I beat you to death, the Qin Mansion may not be able to make decisions for you! You traitor, don't forget where you live now! This is the Marquis' Mansion! Not the Qin Family!"
Xie Yuchuan did not mention Qin Shuyu in any of his sentences, but every word was a warning to Qin Shuyu.
It looks like whipping the bamboo, but in fact it is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Ever since Qin Shuyu completely gave up on Xie Yuchuan, she no longer had any expectations for him.
She looked up and saw Xie Yuchuan's neck was red from anger, and his eyes were cold but with the ferocity and bloodlust of a wild beast, which was really scary.
In Qin Shuyu's eyes, Xie Yuchuan at this moment was no different from a wild beast, even more ferocious than a wild beast.
Qin Shuyu suppressed the fear in her hands. Even though she knew Xie Yuchuan would not really beat Su Zhu to death, she would definitely be beaten to pieces so that she would not be able to get out of bed for three months.
Suzhu was her dowry maid, how could she ignore her?
Qin Shuyu walked over quickly and protected Su Zhu with his body.
"Please calm down, my Lord."
"what--"
The horsewhip made a snapping sound in the air and hit Qin Shuyu's back heavily.
Qin Shuyu was sweating coldly from the pain. The luxurious clothes that had been whipped by the horsewhip burst open in the air, revealing long whip marks made of blood on his back.
