The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Qin Wanying wiped away her tears.

She was still very happy to hear that there would be a gift.

Qin Xiaorong ordered his servant to bring up something; it was a red stone about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Qin Xiaorong carefully took it in his hand and handed it to Qin Wanying.

Qin Wanying took the stone and examined it carefully. The stone was not a regular sphere, but it was very round and smooth, perfectly formed by nature, without any trace of artificial polishing.

It is slightly transparent, with a texture between jade and stone.

Qin Wanying stared at the stone, her eyes wide.

"Red Lotus Jade?"

Red lotus jade is unique to northern Xinjiang and is extremely rare. Even a small piece of poor quality can cost a lot of money. This piece is so big and of such good quality; it could buy an entire county!

Qin Xiaorong smiled, worried that his younger sister wouldn't recognize the value of the stone, but he was surprised that she knew about it.

The whole family was shocked when they heard Qin Wanying's heartfelt words.

Qin Xiaorong, where did you get such a precious piece of jade?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Qin Xiaorong explained, "I saved a wealthy local man in the Northern Frontier, and he gave me this treasure out of gratitude. Now that my little sister is back, I'm giving it to her."

The family suddenly realized what had happened.

"Thank you, Second Brother!" Qin Wanying held the red lotus jade to her chest and bowed deeply to her Second Brother.

Qin Xiaorong smiled as he looked at his younger sister.

"We are siblings, there's no need for formalities."

Oh no! This gift is so valuable! What if it gets lost? I must keep it safe!

Qin Xiaoyan chuckled, "Little sister, I'll make you a secret box later to store this Red Lotus Jade. I guarantee no one can steal it!"

"Thank you, Sixth Brother!" Qin Wanying smiled sweetly.

[Sixth Brother is reliable!]

Hearing her younger sister's praise, Qin Xiaoyan was beaming with pride.

Qin Wanying recalled the fate of Qin Xiaorong that she had seen before, and a thought echoed in her mind.

It's time to tell my second brother about it. He's such a good person...

As soon as Qin Wanying spoke, everyone held their breath.

Here we go again, here we go again!

Wan Ying's "heartfelt message preview" is here again!

Qin Xiaorong hadn't yet realized how serious the matter was, but he noticed that his family members' gazes were subtly falling on him.

My second brother has a lieutenant named Fu Hong.

Qin Xiaorong thought to himself that he had a total of two deputy generals. In addition to the newly promoted Qi Ang, there was another deputy general named Fu Hong.

He had once saved the man's life, and seeing his outstanding abilities, he promoted him to be his deputy general.

Fu Hong has been with me for many years, and I trust him completely, so I let Fu Hong do many things for me.

The younger sister's heartfelt words mentioned Fu Hong.

Could it be that there's something wrong with Fu Hong?

The whole family listened intently.

I want to hear what problems Fu Hong has.

Fu Hong had actually already sided with Xiao Dongqian.

Qin Xiaorong's pupils contracted.

Fu Hong has already sided with Xiao Dongqian?

He trusted Fu Hong so much and treated him so well, yet the person he had personally promoted had actually defected to Xiao Dongqian?

Xiao Dongqian is their Marquis's mortal enemy!

Qin Xiaorong's palms felt cold.

More than being shocked, he felt heartbroken.

To tell someone you trust so much that they are actually an enemy spy, lurking by your side all along.

Anger surged within Qin Xiaorong, and he clenched his fists tightly.

He's already made arrangements in the north, colluding with the general of the Ruiguang tribe, waiting for Second Brother to fall into their trap.

Qin Xiaorong frowned.

The Ruiguang tribe is one of the hostile tribes in the northern border. They frequently come to Dayao to burn, kill, and plunder. Over the years, they have fought many battles with the Ruiguang tribe.

Fu Hong, that scoundrel, actually colluded with the Ruiguang Tribe!

Isn't this treason?

By doing this, Fu Hong not only let himself down, but also the people of the Northern Border!

If his younger sister hadn't been there, and he hadn't let her notice anything amiss, he would have slammed his fist on the table.

[My second brother will be captured alive by the Ruiguang tribe. After being captured, because they have suffered many losses at his hands in battles over the years, they will not kill him immediately, but will torture him slowly.]

They broke my second brother's ribs one by one, pulled out all his fingernails, and spat in his face, subjecting him to the most extreme torture and humiliation.

The second brother not only refused to yield, but continued to hurl insults.

[He was eventually tortured to death. To humiliate Emperor Yao, his body was returned, and his mother nearly went blind from crying.]

[The military report was also written by Fu Hong. It stated that his second brother had been greedy for merit and acted rashly, falling into the enemy's trap. Although his second brother was dead, he was not granted any official rank or title.]

Fu Hong, on the contrary, took over his second brother's position as general and is doing very well.

After Qin Wanying finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was still processing the information Qin Wanying had just revealed.

Qin Xiaorong, you're really having a tough time!

Qin Xiaorong's fingernails were already deeply embedded in his flesh.

He turned his head away so that Qin Wanying wouldn't see his expression; his gaze was cold and sharp, almost murderous.

He knew these methods; even the barbarians of the Ruiguang tribe could use them.

Fu Hong, you treacherous villain! I will never let you get away with this!

The whole family felt a chill run down their spines.

If Qin Wanying doesn't witness Qin Xiaorong's fate today, Qin Xiaorong will truly die a miserable death!

Just as Qin Wanying was about to tell Qin Xiaorong everything, her gaze fell on Qin Xiaorong for a few seconds, and she stopped drinking tea.

[Wait, how could this be? It's different from this morning!]

The family was startled.

What? What's different?

[I could see my second brother's fate this morning, but I can't anymore. What happened?]

The family remained outwardly calm, but were secretly shocked.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

What exactly went wrong?

Qin Wanying thought about it carefully and understood.

I understand now. It's probably because my performance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet today made the male lead wary, causing him to change his plans.

After all, the fates of people are changed when he gets involved.

Qin Wanying looked at Qin Xiaorong carefully for a few more seconds, as if she could see something, but upon closer inspection, she couldn't make out what it was.

One's own abilities are not something that can be seen in their entirety; one can only see a part of them.

So now, she can only guess, guess what Xiao Dongqian is going to do, and what Fu Hong will do.

If she were Xiao Dongqian, and knew that she had the ability to foresee the future, she would never be foolish enough to let Fu Hong deliver himself to his death.

After all, it's not easy to place such a pawn next to Qin Xiaorong.

For him, the best approach was to remain still, observe quietly, and wait until he discovered his weaknesses before taking action; otherwise, he would be wasting manpower.

Xiao Dongqian had already arranged for Fu Hong to take action. If he wanted to stop the action, he would definitely send a message to Fu Hong.

Qin Wanying spoke up: "Second brother, there is a villain by your side who must be eliminated."
