Her scolding snapped them back, but her harsh words repelled them instead.
Her useless husband wasn’t coming over? And Qin Yushu was clearly backing this live-in A today. A few barbs were one thing, but going over to slap her?
Did they think Qin Yushu was vegetarian?
Qin Zhenxian always thought highly of herself. Spoiled as the first daughter by Old Master in her youth, she’d thrown her weight around at home, scorning her younger brothers and many juniors.
Always going on about how no one measured up to her Alpha son.
Since everyone was useless, why bother with hierarchies? All trash.
Some trash just didn’t know their place.
But Qin Yushu’s actions today truly scared the younger generation. One of Qin Third Uncle Qin Ji Dong’s sons jumped out.
One of the two Alphas, Qin Guan Lin. He opened with heavy accusation; his dad couldn’t stop him in time.
Qin Guan Lin said indignantly, “No matter what, Eldest Aunt is still your elder. How can you treat her like that?!”
Anyone with eyes could see that when Qin Zhenxian had been flung away earlier, the bodyguard had clearly been following Qin Yushu’s orders.
They talked big about wresting power from Qin Yushu, but now that her people were right there, they all chickened out and vented their anger at Lu Ningshuang instead.
Lu Ningshuang, who didn’t care who they were, fired back right away. “And who are you?”
“Qin Guan Lin, the Fourth Young Master of the Qin Family, and an Alpha.” As he mentioned being an Alpha, he puffed out his chest, his gaze flicking toward Qin Yushu—he was clearly proud of his status.
Lu Ningshuang naturally noticed the little glance. She replied breezely, “Oh, it’s Little Four.”
Qin Guan Lin: “What?”
That nickname sounded awful.
Lu Ningshuang continued, “So how come you’ve never greeted your sister-in-law since I walked in the door?”
“Someone like you, who climbed to the top by serving an Omega—”
He didn’t even finish before Qin Yushu’s icy voice rang out. “Zhou Yi, slap his mouth.”
Zhou Yi moved at once.
See? Whenever there was trouble, it always dragged him in. Sigh, what kind of nonsense was this? He really couldn’t bring himself to say…
Actually, he was thrilled!!!
As Zhou Yi approached, two crisp slaps echoed. Lu Ningshuang gloated from the side, fanning the flames. “Bet he’s never been hit like this before, huh? Whoa, nice and symmetrical!”
Zhou Yi was putting his all into it. “Madam flatters me.”
Qin Zhenxian, the Eldest Aunt, hadn’t been sent to the hospital yet. She was only propped up by her husband on the side when she suddenly heard the slaps.
Not only had she been hit, but someone else was too—her heart instantly felt much better.
Why not hit him harder?
As the saying goes, if one side doesn’t shine, the other will. If one lights up, another must dim.
These two Alpha sons were Third Uncle Qin’s treasures. Seeing his second son get slapped senseless by Qin Yushu, he couldn’t hold back anymore. “Qin Yushu, what exactly are you trying to do by bringing this troublemaker here?!”
Lu Ningshuang cut in, “As the saying goes, if children don’t get along, it’s the elders’ fault. Besides—”
She spoke unhurriedly.
“Don’t be hasty. Based on how my dear Third Aunt praises outside Alphas, Third Uncle, you really don’t compare. Little Four might not even be yours. And just now, I saw her defending Eldest Aunt even more than you, her own father.”
Lu Ningshuang stirred the pot without restraint. “How about pulling a few hairs and getting a paternity test at the hospital first?”
It was a low blow, but damn if it didn’t work.
Qin Ji Dong was so furious he nearly passed out. “Don’t I know if my second son is mine?!”
“You never know.” Lu Ningshuang shot back. “What proof do you have?”
Qin Ji Dong: “I gave birth to him myself, of course I know!!”
Silence fell over the room.
Third Uncle Qin and Third Aunt had the most traditional Alpha-Omega pairing, and now he blurted out something like that in his anger.
Even Qin Guan Lin turned his head, his cheek bearing the red mark from the slap, but he ignored it. He stared at his father in utter disbelief, his worldview shattering like an idiot.
“Dad… you…”
Qin Ji Dong realized his slip and hurried to explain. “I misspoke! How could I give birth? It was a slip of the tongue…”
But Lu Ningshuang didn’t give him a chance. She raised her damn thumb again, her innocent, fragile face making the gesture all the more mocking.
“Wow~! You’re impressive, sir. This.”
She kindly continued, “No wonder you look several years older than my dear Third Aunt. She’s still so youthful. Everyone knows childbirth takes a huge toll—turns out there’s a story behind it. You bore it for her.”
“This love? I’m shipping it hard!”
“Third Uncle, you’ve had it rough. Now that it’s out, everyone knows your sacrifice. No need to hide anymore. Is this great fatherly love?”
Lu Ningshuang sighed dramatically and clapped. “Now the truth is out, and with Third Aunt’s beauty spa card, don’t be shy—use it more.”
“After all, Third Uncle, you’re getting on in years, no longer at your peak in that department. But my dear Third Aunt loves her looks… Sigh, you can’t keep tying her down with kids forever when you’re old and fading.”
Third Uncle Qin nearly spat blood. “I didn’t! I didn’t…”
And his precious son Qin Guan Lin? Useless as ever. A few words from Lu Ningshuang shook him. Not only did he not stand with his father against her, he straight-up accepted the “truth”!
Qin Ji Dong nearly choked, breathing deeply to calm himself.
Seeing Little Dog nearly talk them to death with just a few words, a hint of amusement flickered in Qin Yushu’s eyes from the back.
Not just her—even cool guy Zhou Yi couldn’t suppress his grin!
After witnessing Lu Ningshuang’s destructive power—peers obliterated, elders down—no one dared face her anymore.
The two highest in seniority in the villa: Second Master Qin was out scheming for power, Third Master Qin’s family was a mess so he stayed shut in. In the end, it was Eldest Aunt Qin Zhenxian who stepped up.
Oh, but now she had a broken leg and could only sit.
Despite her grudge against Lu Ningshuang for the broken leg, she swallowed it and turned to Qin Yushu behind her.
“You brought this little bi—”
Before the last word, Qin Yushu’s eyelids lifted slightly. Eldest Aunt’s freshly broken leg throbbed again. She slapped her husband beside her, who was tending to her.
“Do you want to kill me with pain? Useless trash!”
This trash was her own pick back then—for easy control. To get him to marry in, she stayed in the Qin Family to fight for the assets.
Uncle-in-law Mo Hongwei was clearly used to the scolding. Even after taking the hit from her displaced anger, he didn’t blink or dodge, just endured it meekly, his face expressionless.
In this family of three, Mo Hongwei was more than a husband—he was their punching bag.
Qin Zhenxian…
She had clearly been cursing indirectly without naming names, so Qin Yushu’s gaze dropped, sparing her for now.
No rush.
The outburst muddled through that moment. Qin Zhenxian let out a breath and finally got to business.
“Qin Yushu, what exactly are you here for this time?”
Qin Yushu had been standing slightly behind Lu Ningshuang, supporting her while giving Little Dog free rein over the room.
Only now did she step forward.
Her thin high heels clicked steadily on the wooden floor, heading toward the Alpha. Each step unconsciously tightened the air, compressing their breathing space.
They began to feel fear, suffocation…
No matter their inner schemes, when Qin Yushu herself stood before them, only endless terror filled their hearts.
They wouldn’t forget how, years ago at under twenty, Qin Yushu dealt with them all—including the stubborn old man—seizing Qin Family power step by step, restructuring it into today’s Tian Sheng.
Years later, her methods were only more swift and brutal.
Qin Yushu finally stood beside Lu Ningshuang. Little Dog turned back, her clear eyes fixed on her master.
It was a rest day, so Qin Yushu dressed casually, but it did nothing to lessen their dread.
Qin Yushu spoke slowly, “I believe you’ve all heard, to some extent—I got married.”
The atmosphere froze.
No matter how arrogant the brothers or uncles had been, at Qin Yushu’s words, it was just a string of “Congratulations” and “Happily ever after”…
Lu Ningshuang marveled, “Wow, you guys can say nice things? Guess the saying about dogs not spitting ivory is wrong~!”
Little Phoenix Man A was totally borrowing her tiger’s might, and Qin Yushu willingly lent it.
Just then, Little Dog sneaked her hand over for a touch. Hidden by the coat, Qin Yushu allowed it, even pinching her palm.
Lu Ningshuang: Yay!
She thought she’d been discreet, but with the Qin Family watching closely, they all saw.
Once again understanding how much Qin Yushu doted on this Alpha… As for Qin Yushu?
President Qin did it on purpose for them to see!
After petting Little Dog, she lifted her eyelids, her gaze sweeping over Eldest Aunt Qin Zhenxian, Third Uncle Qin Ji Dong, and Fourth Uncle Qin Bolang. She continued,
“Though time was tight and we skipped the wedding banquet, shouldn’t you elders show some gesture?”
Lu Ningshuang’s eyes lit up: Wow!
Big Sis was getting her wedding gifts~!
The named three: Eldest Aunt sulked in silence, Third Uncle was unsteady from his son fleeing, leaving the youngest, Fourth Uncle Qin Bolang—Qin Yushu’s blood uncle.
He was cursing inwardly but echoed aloud, “Of course, of course.”
He glanced at the annoying Little Phoenix Man A. “I wonder what my niece-in-law likes? I have something auspicious…”
Lu Ningshuang interrupted, “Just give money then.”
She figured their gifts might dissatisfy or have schemes—like those from her and Huo Yunyi. Better cash.
Lu Fugui was too money-obsessed, but she was right—money wasn’t everything, but it solved 99% of problems.
She’d give it all to Big Sis…
Little Phoenix Man A schemed happily. Fourth Uncle was stunned by her bluntness, while Qin Yushu glanced sideways at Little Dog, a faint smile rippling in her beautiful, deep eyes.
When she turned back to them, it vanished instantly.
Likes money, huh?
President Qin’s sharp mind flashed a counter-strategy. Speaking for Lu Ningshuang, “In that case—”
“Then trouble Aunt and Uncles to hand over your shares in Qin Corporation.”
