The sound of something smashing could be heard from Qin Yan's villa.
No one knew how long it had been going on. Perhaps eventually, she became tired because the smashing stopped. The servants working there looked scared and cautious.
They lowered their heads and then looked up again. They exchanged glances with their companions, their eyes filled with fear.
Ever since the young miss was exposed by the media, she had become even more irritable at home. She also became more vicious and violent.
She would throw things around. The breakable things in the house had all been changed.
Then, she would beat and scold the servants. Once, a maid served her tea that was too hot, and she immediately had the maid's arm cut off. She invited all the staff to watch. After the maid's arm was cut off, Qin Yan didn't call a doctor for her. She didn't allow anyone to call for help either. The maid fainted due to the pain, and she was dying.
In the end, the staff had to take the risk of reminding Qin Yan that if the maid were not treated, she would really die. If she died in the villa, and the reporters found out about it, they would add fuel to the fire. Qin Yan's reputation would worsen.
For Qin Yan's reputation and their safety, the staff had to say something. The servants and bodyguards were ordinary, tax-paying citizens. The law of the country protected them. They were not slaves who had sold their lives to Qin Yan. They were not in the feudal era where their masters could do anything they wanted. If the maid died under her employer's care, and if the evidence was conclusive, the employer would face prison or death sentence no matter how powerful they were.
Qin Yan didn't care about the maid dying. With the power of the Qin Family, it was very easy to cover up the death. However, she was in the public focus at the moment. It was better if she didn't add more chink in her armor.
However, Qin Yan was too mad. She wanted to kill everyone. Why would she care about the life of a single lowlife?
Therefore, the maid whose arm was cut off died in pain in the courtyard.
Qin Xingbao was livid with anger when he heard about this from the bodyguard. His daughter was becoming more out of control.
However, Qin Xingbao needed to deal with this first. First, he used the money to silence everyone who knew. Then, he used the money to silence the family of the dead maid.
After Qin Xingbao called Qin Yan back, he immediately gave her a fierce slap. He cursed angrily, "Bastard! What are you doing?"
Qin Yan covered her face and widened her eyes. She looked at Qin Xingbao in disbelief and said in extreme surprise, "Dad, you actually hit me? How..."
She immediately cursed and said in a wronged tone, "Dad, you have never hit me since you were young, but now you hit me because of a lowly servant?"
Qin Xingbao's anger had not yet subsided. He pointed at Qin Yan and shouted, "In fact, I want to hit you to your death!"
He looked around, but he didn't find the thing he wanted. He told the butler to go to the study to get the cane. "Butler, go and get the cane. I'll punish her with the family law!" When the butler heard that, his expression immediately changed.
He thought for a moment and persuaded, "Master, the eldest miss is a girl. She might not be able to stand the family law. Plus, if you use the family law and leave wounds on Miss' body..."
Qin Yan covered half of her red and swollen face. When she heard her father was going to serve her with the family law, her expression immediately changed, and she looked even more incredulous.
"Dad, do you... you want to use the family law on me?" Qin Yan asked in fear.
The family law of the Qin family was a twenty-time whipping. This cane was not a normal cane. It was one and a half meters long. There were barbs on the cane. It looked more like a centipede than a cane.
When the cane was used, the barns would pierce into the flesh. It was incredibly painful. This would be a lesson unforgettable for anyone.
Qin Yan had seen her father use the family law on her brother in the past. At that time, she almost fainted. She couldn't imagine surviving it.
Qin Xingbao looked at Qin Yan coldly and said loudly, "You have done something that has severely damaged the Qin Family's reputation. You have to be punished severely!" In other words, the family law was necessary. Qin Yan's heart trembled violently, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her face was extremely pale, and her expression revealed fear.
"Go!" Qin Xingbao said loudly to the butler.
The butler sighed in his heart. Although his heart ached for the eldest miss, he couldn't disobey the old master's orders.
He prayed that the eldest young master and Madam would come back soon. That way, they would at least end the Miss' suffering.
The Young Miss had been pampered since she was young. She was not going to survive this torture.
After the butler brought the cane over, Qin Xingbao held it in his hand and shouted at Qin Yan sternly, "Kneel!"
Qin Yan knew that it was pointless to resist. She bit her lips and knelt down.
Qin Xingbao's face was cold and stern. He picked up the cane and swung it down.
"Sister!"
"Yan 'Er!"
