Chapter 383 - Excommunicated
The difference was like between heaven and earth!
How could she accept it...?
Other than Wei Zhiqian, she did not want anybody else!
However, she did not dare to say that out loud.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I will be obedient from now on and will not use these tricks anymore," Qin Murong cried out. "Nacheng is so far away, I don't want to be so far away from my family."
Once she had thought about being that far away from her family, in such a faraway place, with no Qin family backing her up...Qin Murong began to tremble with fear.
"I…I won't dare to think about Wei Zhiqian anymore. I give up. I promise I will not disturb him anymore!" Qin Murong cried and hugged her grandmother's leg. "Grandpa, Grandma, believe me, I really will not think about him anymore."
"You can marry me to anyone as long as he is in B city. Please don't send me to Nacheng." Qin Murong sobbed as she continued begging, "I don't want to go to such a faraway place. I am scared!"
"What are you scared of? This is not the olden times when it was difficult to come back. Whenever you want to come back to visit, you can take a plane." Old Madame Qin was unmoved.
"Even if I take a plane, it will take six to seven hours to return." It was similar to traveling overseas. That was how you knew how far away the place really was.
Qin Murong kept shaking her head. "Grandpa, Grandma, I beg you. I understand that I have made a lot of mistakes."
She had never been so afraid as she was now.
Old Madame Qin had been direct and blunt with her words, and it could be seen that she was determined.
If she had quibbled, Qin Murong might have thought that she had a chance.
"You now say that you will give up Wei Zhiqian, who will certainly marry in the future. Will you be content to see him marry another woman?" Old Madame Qin bent over slightly and lowered her head, looked at Qin Murong's face, and sighed. "It was my fault. When your parents told you that you should marry Wei Zhiqian, I did not stop them properly."
However, how could Old Madame Qin be blamed?
Old Madame Qin had once called Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling and sternly warned them to stop filling Qin Murong's head with such words.
To not give Qin Murong such expectations...
Although both had agreed in front of her, she had been unable to control what they continued to tell Qin Murong at home.
Old Madame Qin surely could not keep an eye on Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling for 24 hours a day.
Qin Murong shook her head.
The Old Madame touched Qin Murong's tear-stained face. "Tan Mo calls Wei Zhiqian uncle, and Wei Zhiqian treats her like his most loved junior. You have not been willing to leave Tan Mo alone. In the future, when Wei Zhiqian really marries, what will you do to that girl?
"Previously, when Tan Mo was still underage and you suspected that there was a relationship between her and Wei Zhiqian, Old Madame Wei was so angry that she personally called me."
Qin Murong's pupils trembled.
She did not know that Old Madame Wei had personally called Old Madame Qin.
She had forgotten about it as she had thought only Xiao Menghan had approached Dong Hanbi.
"It was rare for Wei Zhiqian's mother to use her status as the wife of the head of family to ask to meet your aunt," Old Madam Qin said. "At that time, your aunt told you to stay at home to reflect on yourself and not to go out."
"We thought that you would realize your mistakes from this punishment. However, as long as a person is human, they wouldn't have such dishonorable thoughts as to suspect an underage girl. How filthy is that!" Old Madame Qin was agitated.
"After that, you did stop for a period of time. I did not think that you would collude with Wei Keli this time and use such dirty methods to scheme against Tan Mo again." Old Madame Qin sighed. "There is a saying, women shouldn't be hard on women. Why did you have to deal with such a young lady? Even now, you still treat her as your love rival.
"You feel that Wei Zhiqian has treated Tan Mo too well, and that she is a threat to you. So you wanted to make use of Wei Keli to ruin Tan Mo. You thought that if Wei Keli and Tan Mo were together, it would not be possible between her and Wei Zhiqian." Old Madame Qin continued, "In spite of the fact that Tan Mo has called Wei Zhiqian Uncle since she was very young, that child, such a pure and honest person, does not have the thoughts like you have. Moreover, what does Wei Zhiqian not liking you have anything to do with Tan Mo?"
Old Madame Qin let go of Qin Murong's face, stood up, and waved her hand. "Even if you have the capability to ruin all girls of suitable age, Wei Zhiqian will still not take a second glance at you."
"Rather than keeping you in B city, where you have such thoughts, where you feel jealous and upset, and where you cannot stop yourself from scheming against others, I might as well send you to Nacheng. At such a far distance, no matter how much you think about him, you will not be able to reach so far," Old Madame Qin said. "Moreover, being faraway, you cannot see him just because you want to. After some time, you will not even remember what he looks like. Then, how can you say you still like him?"
"No! You cannot be so harsh!" Qin Murong cried out again. "I will not do anything to Tan Mo anymore. I will not have any bad intentions against Tan Mo.
"I guarantee, no matter who Wei Zhiqian treats well, no matter who he is with, who he will marry in the future, I will not do anything. As long as I can stay in B city. Grandpa, Grandma, I really do not want to go to Nacheng, I don't want to…"
Old Madame Qin was not listening to what Qin Murong said.
She was afraid now. Naturally she would say anything and guarantee anything.
But after the matter concluded, she would return to her original ways.
Old Madame Qin knew it well.
Old Madame Qin waved her hand and ordered, "Take her away."
"During the next few days, the Hu family is going to come to visit us. The two families will have a meal together and fix the wedding details." Old Madame Qin continued loudly, "Before this, let Qin Murong stay at the manor. Anyway, she has graduated and is unemployed. It will not hinder her much if she has to stay at the manor."
Qin Murong was going to be grounded in the old manor.
"No! Grandpa! Grandma!" The bodyguards dragged Qin Murong to the door and all the while Qin Murong continued begging.
Old Madame Qin's pair of old, sharp eyes fell on Qin Murong's face.
"After you marry, if you still want to be a daughter of the Qin family, if you still want the Qin family's support, if you want your husband to be courteous to you out of fear of the Qin family and value you more because you are a daughter of the Qin family, then from now on, you have to be obedient. If you think of escaping or trying to ruin the engagement, etc., all ties with the Qin family will be broken." The old madame said slowly, "No matter your reason, if you eventually do not marry into the Hu family of Nacheng...
The Old Madame paused and Qin Murong unconsciously stopped her pleading and crying...
"...you will no longer be a daughter of the Qin family. Now do as you deem fit."
Qin Murong shivered.
One statement from the Old Madame had rendered all her plans and ideas useless.
Qin Murong was like a tomato that had been hit by snow. She wilted.
She did not struggle anymore as the bodyguards took her away.
"This is the consequence for not teaching your child well," Old Mister Qin said to Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling.
