Chapter 487 The Allure of Uniform
Xiao Qingxuan was taken aback, urging, "Sister, this is out of the question. The men outside are mostly scholars with no real strength, numbering in the thousands. They're just misled individuals who joined the siege. How can we possibly kill them all? Wouldn't that make My Dear unjust and subject to public scorn?"
Qin Xian'er's eyebrows slightly raised as she retorted, "Scholars with no real strength? Such nonsense is only believable to you. They brazenly attacked the Lin residence and insulted my husband. Where is the demeanor of a scholar in that? Even the bandits in the mountains are better than them. If we don't make an example out of a couple of them, people will think our Lin family is weak and easily bullied. Husband, wait here. I'll go with Gao Qiu to capture some of them. I intend to personally cut down a couple to set an example."
Qin Xian'er had always been a fearless woman within the White Lotus Sect, treating killing as if she were merely chopping vegetables. After being with Lin Wanrong, however, her temperament had softened considerably, and she had committed far fewer violent acts. But her fiery and straightforward personality was not so easily changed. Now that people were oppressing her husband, how could she bear it? After speaking, she turned to leave in search of Gao Qiu.
"Sister, this matter can't be rushed. Let's discuss it properly—" Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and shot a desperate glance at Lin Wanrong.
Xian'er might be rash, but her words were not without reason. ‘These people dare to cause trouble, so why shouldn't I dare to kill? This sort of situation calls for making an example to deter others. Capture two, deal with them, and the rest will naturally behave,’ Lin Wanrong mused, largely agreeing with Xian'er's view. However, given Qingxuan's temperament and background, he knew she'd prefer to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
"My Dear, say something quickly!" Seeing that Lin Wanrong was appearing rather nonchalant and not acting urgently, and realizing she might not be able to restrain Xian'er much longer, Miss Xiao became irritated.
Qingxuan, visibly pregnant and increasingly anxious, caught Lin Wanrong's attention. Hurriedly, he spoke up, "Well, actually, there's some truth to what Xian'er is saying."
"Husband, you're wonderful!" Delighted that Lin Wanrong agreed with her in front of Xiao Qingxuan, Miss Qin broke into a joyful smile. She cast a glance at Xiao Qingxuan's abdomen and lightly huffed, "Let go of me. I don't fight with pregnant women."
