Chapter 165: I Get Annoyed Seeing You
Qin He restrained her smile, her mouth corners turning down: "I don't care to compare with her."
"Exactly." Qin He's legitimate sister echoed: "Only Qin Bi is inferior to Qin He Jiejie, comparing herself to Qin He Jiejie everywhere. This kind of person has extreme jealousy. If she hadn't married the Rong Shizi, she would be nothing."
"That's right." A younger cousin said: "She wouldn't even be able to stay in Jingcheng."
The Marquis Manor's young ladies chattered, including the fourth branch's illegitimate daughters. Everyone was discussing Qin Bi, flattering Qin He. Qin He was proud in her heart, her chin slightly raised in a posture of looking down on others.
Finally, Qin He said: "Don't say that, especially the fourth branch's younger sisters, lest you be disliked by the elders."
Everyone nodded. It was only a few sisters with good relationships discussing it together; in front of outsiders, it absolutely couldn't be so casual. Marquis Manor young ladies had to have the appearance of Marquis Manor young ladies.
Qin Lang returned from outside the manor. Knowing that Qin He and the Marquis Manor's young ladies were all in the garden, he knew nothing good would happen.
Qin Lang mentioned these Marquis Manor sisters to the third Madam, Zhu Shi. Zhu Shi said: "Incompetence, jealousy at work. If they had the ability, they would say it openly. I would still respect Qin He, but playing little tricks behind their backs, Qin He only has this much ability."
Qin Lang picked up his tea bowl and took a sip, saying: "Qin He looks like an orchid, but she is actually the most intolerant of others."
No one knew this better than the third and fourth branches. Just because the third and fourth branches didn't flatter Qin He, Qin He suppressed both branches everywhere. She was extremely narrow-minded, yet always put on a generous appearance.
Qin Lang went to find Qin Xun and Qin Tang. Qin Tang wasn't in the manor, but Qin Xun was at home.
"Qin He wouldn't speak ill of Qin Bi Jiejie, would she?" Qin Lang protected Qin Bi.
Qin Xun looked down on Qin He: "If she had the ability, she would come to the fourth branch to say it. Qin He doesn't have the guts."
That was true, so Qin Lang didn't care anymore.
Qin He went to the Yan Guogong Fu on the day Rong Yang met the clan members, and every manor's thoughts were stirred. Several families planned to be on good terms with Qin He, and this matter reached the ears of the He family, leaving them simply stunned.
"The Xue family is so shameless!" The He family's eldest Madam scolded: "Eating a meal of ours, as if she and her children have entered our eyes. Why doesn't Qin He say she is currently the Shizifei?"
"The Xue family's standards for marrying a wife are low enough." The second Madam said: "Such goods are married into the door."
Once these words were out, no one in the room made a sound. He Yan arranged the marriage for the Xue family! I don't know if He Yan had a grudge against the Xue family, but even an illegitimate daughter with Qin He's status entered the Wang Fu's door.
Qin Bi and Qin He were not the same. She married the powerful Heir Apparent because of the Heir Apparent's fate of being a wife-killer and having no children. Let alone that she was an illegitimate daughter, even if she were remarried, the Yan Guogong Madam wouldn't be picky.
Qin He picked up a good marriage for nothing; she really had good luck!
"Should we send someone out to spread the word that Qin He came to beg for a meal?" The second Madam looked at the He family's eldest Madam and others: "Our kind of family always has to consider some face, but Qin He took the opportunity to show off."
The Yan Guogong Madam and the He family's eldest Madam discussed it and said: "No need to pay attention to her. The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more energetic she becomes, thinking others care about her so much. Who knows who she is!"
The He family was a hereditary first-class title and didn't look down on Qin He; they didn't even have the mind to care about Qin He.
Qin He was glorious in the Qin Yan Hou Fu, but in the Yan Guogong Fu, the ladies and young ladies mentioned Qin He and covered their mouths to laugh, with disdain and contempt. If Qin He were in front of them, she would definitely flee in a panic.
So, Qin He only deceived those who believed her.
Qin He absolutely wouldn't go to the Yan Guogong Fu for a short time. Whenever she recalled the treatment in the Yan Guogong Fu, Qin He's face would flush red. If she had known the He family was hard to get along with, she wouldn't have gone.
The Cui family and the Su family sent several varieties of flowers to the Qin Yan Hou Fu, and the flowers in the Marquis Manor's garden suddenly became colorful. After tidying up for a day, the eldest branch's legitimate daughter returned and summoned rain to water the flowers.
With flowers blooming all over the garden, every branch called back the married daughters in Jingcheng to admire the flowers.
Rong Juan held his young son and asked Qin Bi: "Are you going?"
Qin Bi smiled: "I want to go."
"Then let's go." Rong Juan immediately ordered it.
After a slight hesitation, Rong Juan sent a message to the Yan Guogong Fu. Returning to Qin Bi's maiden home as a family, it wouldn't be good to leave Rong Yang behind. Not seeing the child for several days, both Qin Bi and Rong Juan missed him.
But the He clan members had come to Jingcheng, and anyone who knew etiquette wouldn't come to the door.
Qin Xun and Qin Lang came to pick up Qin Bi's family. All the child's things were brought along. Summer was hot, and the Rong Shizi was worried about his young son being hot, so he brought many bags of things.
Qin Lang and Qin Xun stood on the side, unable to help. Seeing the way he treated the child as a treasure, they didn't dare to get close, worried that walking with a breeze would chill the child and they wouldn't be able to withstand the Rong Shizi's fury.
Arriving at the Qin Yan Hou Fu, the things were all placed in the courtyard where Qin Bi used to live.
Guards, maids, and nannies came and went to settle the things.
The Rong Shizi held his young son and stared. Qin Bi said: "We'll only stay for one day."
The Rong Shizi didn't care, lowered his eyes to stare at the little Tuanzi babbling in his arms and said: "That can't neglect my young son. Leaving the Wang Fu, I'm worried Rong Chi won't adapt, so everything must be settled."
Qin Bi could only wait with Qin Lang, while Qin Xun was ordered around by the Rong Shizi.
The fourth branch's children of the Qin Yan Hou Fu all ran over to play with Rong Chi. The Rong Shizi wasn't stingy, giving each of them a small crystal, and held the little Tuanzi for everyone to see: "Look carefully, this is your cousin; protect him in the future."
"Okay, okay!" The children nodded vigorously.
The Rong Shizi was satisfied, shielded the little Tuanzi's face, and walked to the front courtyard surrounded by everyone. Qin Bi didn't go to the front courtyard; she went to see He Shi first and accompanied He Shi to the eldest branch's courtyard.
In the Marquis Manor garden, Heir He arrived with Rong Yang. Qin Yan and the others went over to ask about the child, and Heir He formally introduced Rong Yang to the young masters of the noble families.
Everyone took out meeting gifts one after another, and Rong Yang put them all into his storage bag.
The Marquis Manor's young ladies, whether married or unmarried, all went to the eldest branch's courtyard. The elders talked in the main hall, and the young ladies and Qin Yan's wives chatted under the trees in the courtyard.
"Qin Bi Jiejie." Qin He suddenly turned to Qin Bi: "Rong Yang is Heir He's child, why didn't you say so earlier, causing Heir He to always think he had no children."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Qin Bi knew Qin He wasn't honest and said: "There's no need to beat around the bush. Are you trying to say I secretly gave birth to Heir He's child?"
Qin He covered her mouth and chuckled: "I didn't say that."
Qin Bi picked up her tea bowl and splashed it on Qin He's face without courtesy. Caught off guard, Qin He screamed, and the others were stunned and couldn't react. No one expected Qin Bi to take action without a word.
Qin Bi asked Qin He: "Are you cool now?"
Qin He wiped the tea leaves off her face and glared: "Can't sisters even talk to each other?"
Qin Bi felt disgust: "Get lost, I get annoyed seeing you." ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
