I insist

Chapter 481: Punishment

"Greetings, Prime Minister."

Yu Huailin arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, met the Prime Minister, bowed slightly to him, and spoke softly.

The Prime Minister was pleased to see Yu Huailin arrive, but when he heard Yu address him as Prime Minister, he frowned slightly and his expression darkened.

"It's only been a few days, why are you acting so distant with me? Please have a seat. Is there something you want to say here?"

Yu Huailin did not sit down, but instead looked at the Prime Minister and said, "Indeed, there are some things I want to say to the Prime Minister, and this matter is related to your young lady."

"Lian'er? I don't know what Lian'er did to make you so angry."

Although Yu Huailin didn't show it on his face, it was clear that he didn't look well.

"I thought Your Excellency knew everything. Since Your Excellency doesn't know, then I'll explain the whole story from beginning to end, and I hope you can handle it well after listening to it."

Yu Huailin told him everything he had learned from Gao Min'er.

After hearing this, the Prime Minister looked at him in disbelief. Although he did suspect that Leng Qiulian was behind it, he still didn't believe it.

"You said Lian'er did this, where's the evidence?"

"It wasn't her who did it, but she instructed her to do it. Your Excellency, you can't possibly lack any judgment, can you? Gao Min'er and Song Miqiu don't even know each other."

"It's understandable that Leng Qiulian wants revenge after what happened with her before. Your Excellency, if you're reluctant to punish your granddaughter, I can take care of it for you."

Yu Huailin looked at the Prime Minister very seriously, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

"Are you threatening me?" The Prime Minister slammed his hand on the chair and asked angrily.

"I am warning the Prime Minister that if Song Miqiu hadn't said a few more words, she would already be at Yintian Prefecture, Your Majesty."

Keep an eye on your granddaughter, or I won't hold back next time.

Yu Huailin gave the prime minister a warning look, then left without looking back, leaving him alone here with a headache.

Leng Qiulian is now the only granddaughter of the Prime Minister's family, and she is indeed somewhat spoiled at times, but she never expected this incident to escalate to such a huge extent.

Regardless, the Prime Minister still summoned Leng Qiulian to see how she would react.

"Granddaughter greets grandfather."

Leng Qiulian's tone was very calm, and there was nothing wrong with it at all. Even the Prime Minister thought that she was indeed worthy of being the young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion.

The prime minister simply looked at her indifferently, without saying a word, exuding a cold aura that was quite frightening.

Leng Qiulian didn't want to experience this feeling anymore, so she asked directly, "Grandpa, is there something you need for me?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" the Prime Minister asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qiulian's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down, even though the news of Gao Min'er had already spread far and wide.

However, she felt that the Prime Minister was too busy every day to care about such a small matter.

"Grandpa, your granddaughter has nothing to say, but is something wrong?"

Upon seeing her so composed, the Prime Minister couldn't help but burst into laughter: "As expected of my granddaughter, such composure is truly remarkable!"

"Your lying skills have really improved. They've already come knocking on your door about what you did, and you're still playing dumb with me, Leng Qiulian. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Leng Qiulian immediately knelt on the ground: "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I was just unwilling to accept it. This will never happen again."

"Admit your mistake? I don't think you even know how to spell 'admit your mistake.' I warned you before not to mess with that person."

You brushed me off, yet secretly instigated others to cause trouble for someone else. Now things have blown up, and that person has arrived at Yintian Prefecture. I ask you, how are you going to explain this to them?

The prime minister was very dissatisfied with Leng Qiulian's appearance; he felt that his granddaughter had been raised astray.

Leng Qiulian had no intention of explaining to Gao Min'er's family, and since she had the Prime Minister as her grandfather, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Seeing her like this, the Prime Minister suddenly laughed: "Leng Qiulian, you don't actually think Gao Min'er's family won't cause you trouble, do you?"

Even if they don't cause you trouble, what about the common people? Gao Min'er has already arrived at Yintian Prefecture, and things have escalated. Why would she target Song Miqiu?

You'll soon find out that even if no one bothers you, your reputation will be ruined. You'll be the talk of the town every day—that's the consequence of your wrongdoing.

Leng Qiulian had always thought that as long as Gao Min'er didn't say anything, she would be fine, but when she heard the Prime Minister say that, she was suddenly frightened.

"Grandpa, please help me. I really know I was wrong. Please help me."

Leng Qiulian was terrified at the thought that her future reputation would be just as the Prime Minister had described, and she hoped that the Prime Minister could help her.

Seeing Leng Qiulian now filled with regret, the Prime Minister said indifferently, "I will not help you."

"Grandpa, I'm your granddaughter! You'll definitely help me, right?" Leng Qiulian shouted.

"Yes, but wrongdoing must have consequences. Gao Min'er went to Yin Tian Mansion to help you, and was scorned by thousands. Why are you so carefree in the mansion?"

This is your retribution; you should have thought of it when you did this.

The Prime Minister's face was extremely grim as he spoke, word by word.

Leng Qiulian scrutinized the Prime Minister's expression intently, as if he truly intended to abandon her. Startled, she quickly said...

"Grandpa, you won't really abandon me. I don't want to end up like Gao Min'er. I don't want to be like her."

"She became like this because of you, so you should go and be with her. Since he didn't send you to Yintian Mansion, then let's see how I deal with you."

"In that case, I will deal with you properly."

The Prime Minister had no intention of letting Leng Qiulian off so easily. If she wasn't severely punished now, who knew what other trouble might arise?

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Leng Qiulian immediately felt relieved, as she had always believed that the Prime Minister would not be willing to punish her.

Seeing her body go limp, the Prime Minister sneered, "You don't think I won't punish you, do you? Fine, I won't."

Then you can wait for that person to punish you. You should have seen Gao Min'er's fate; soon you'll end up like her.

Leng Qiulian looked at the Prime Minister in disbelief and asked, "Grandpa, you will save me then, right? Gao Min'er's family is only doing so because they have no other choice..."

"You will definitely save me, I am your granddaughter."

“He has already warned me that if I don’t deal with you, he will do it for me. I think it’s not bad now, it’s really good.”
