Chapter Eleven: Formidable Deterrent
Qin Bugun was very angry.
He was already quite frustrated in the morning, his colleagues and superiors always intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for him, causing his career to be repeatedly hindered over the past decade or so. But that's not all, when he returned home, instead of seeing his wife and children being filial, he saw a house full of crying and wailing.
"What's going on here? Qin Bugun waved his sleeve and sat down, while his legitimate wife had already walked over, "Master, you're finally back! Today, the mansion was turned upside down by someone!!! Look at our poor Qi'er, her arm was beaten until it was bruised like this..."
"Who dares to cause trouble in our household?" Qin Buqun had just lifted his teacup, heard his wife say this, and saw that his daughter's pale arm was covered in bruises. He slammed the cup onto the table.
"Master, you have to take charge of this. Look at that little scoundrel, he's gone mad today and beat up all the servants in the house. Tu Bi and the others all had their arms broken, and Du Guan Jia's nephew had his leg broken in the kitchen. Now many things can't be done. What's more, Qin Qing, as the eldest sister, went to reason with him, but he actually threw her out of the courtyard! Master, what have we done wrong? Why did we bring such a disaster upon ourselves?" The second wife also rushed out and Du Yuan Lu, the steward, stood by, bowing his head and wiping away tears.
Qin Bugun was shocked.
"What are you talking about? The one who made a big fuss in the government office today was Qin Lan's foolish little brother?"
"Yes, sir, it's him. I've said before that he and his mother are jinxes, and now they've brought disaster to our household. Sir, you can't be soft-hearted anymore, just drive them out directly." The first wife's bitter persuasion on the side, as well as the crying and wailing of the injured people in the house, made Qin Bugun's head burn with anger.
"Someone, go get that bastard over here!!! If it was really him who did it, I'm going to give him a good beating today!" Qin Bugun stood up and shouted, then turned around in confusion. "He's always been useless, but you're saying he broke everyone's hands? Are Tubi and the others that bad??? More than ten big men can't beat one foolish kid? And you, Lin'er, if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't you be a second-level warrior by now? How could you be beaten by him?"
"Old master, you don't know this, but that fool has somehow gotten himself a very powerful man who helps him fight, I see he's grown up now and is colluding with outsiders to plot against the family's wealth."
What a joke!!! Qin Bugun snorted disdainfully, after all, he was still a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and not half-dead yet. Was it obvious that he came to seize property at this time? Qin Lan was an idiot, but were others also idiots? Could it be that other people in the imperial court were behind the scenes?
……
When Qin Lan walked into the main hall, she saw a large group of familiar faces. Her sisters, including Ta Bi who had lost an arm and Du Zhide who had lost a leg, were all there. They hummed and hawed on the side, casting hateful glances at Qin Lan, but Qin Lan directly ignored them.
He walked directly towards Qin Bugun, and as he gazed at him, the information about Qin Bugun also appeared on the light screen in front of him.
Qin Bugun, Level 6, Unification 2, Physical Strength 58, Mental Strength 42, Domestic Affairs 56, Bravery 3, Intelligence 18, Charm 4, Luck 7, Loyalty 14, Position None, Official Title: Imperial Ministry of Rites Internal Administrative Envoy of Xinglan Empire, Noble Title: Viscount, Skills None. (Qin Lan's father, no special abilities.)
“……” Qin Lan sized up this father he had never met before, to be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Qin Buqun at all. This man in his forties, with a stiff face, what made Qin Lan most disgusted was that he lacked familial affection. No matter what, Qin Lan was still his son, yet he ignored him and allowed the servants to bully him, was this what it meant to be a father?
"This little brat is too arrogant, doesn't even greet his father when he sees him, what a rude fool. Having such a brother is truly shameful." The one speaking was Third Sister Qin Bi, because Qin Qing and Qin Jin had both been at a disadvantage in Qin Lan's hands, so they didn't rush to speak up, but she didn't know that.
Qin Lan turned her head and took a look at her, but this glance revealed a major issue.

(Wang Zhiyuan's daughter, Battle Priestess.)
！！！！
Is this Wang Zhiyuan's daughter? Qin Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, what is going on? He quickly turned his head to look at his second sister Qin Xiu and eldest sister Qin Qing.
Qin Yin, Level 2, Leadership 0, Strength 91, Intelligence 18, Politics 11, Bravery 53, Strategy 23, Charm 45, Luck 17, Loyalty 1, Position None, Official Position None, Title None, Skills: Strong Attack, Sacred Healing, Dominant Body, Single-handed Sword Mastery, Shield Mastery, Shield Technique Mastery, Riding Mastery.

(Daughter of Wei Songfei, Wind System Mage.)
Alright, at this moment, Qin Lan really wanted to laugh and he didn't suppress himself, bursting into loud laughter. The entire hall was filled with his arrogant laughter.
"You beast, what are you grinning at? I'm asking you, what good deed did you do today?" Qin Buqun finally got angry and slammed his hand on the table.
"Beast?" Qin Lan's eyes narrowed, her smile retracted, and a chill appeared on her face. "I'm a beast, what are you? The father of beasts?"
"How dare you!!" Qin Buqun was instantly infuriated, he stood up and rushed to the front of Qin Lan, his right hand raised high, telling everyone what he wanted to do.
"Hmph!!" Xiahou Yuan was originally standing outside the hall, but seeing someone dare to offend his master, his robust body directly strode forward, and his coarse linen clothes couldn't conceal his overbearing aura at all. Qin Feng was also startled, "Who are you? How did you get in?"
"Xiahou Yuan, step down!" Qin Lan stretched out her hand and patted Xiahou Yuan's back, because the 16-year-old Qin Lan was even shorter than Xiahou Yuan's shoulder.
"Yes!! My lord."
Xiahou Yuan is not a third-rate general like Xu Rong, he is one of the top generals in the Three Kingdoms, and because he is Cao Cao's trusted general, it is absolutely right to say that his power is overwhelming. The aura he exudes is something that others can't learn even if they try. Although the Xiahou Yuan standing here is just a fake created by General Ka, from the moment he appeared, everyone in the hall has unconsciously closed their mouths. Seeing such a strong man being extremely courteous to Qin Lan, they are all shocked and wide-eyed.
