Chapter 166: Can Earn Silver for the Marquis Manor
Qin Bi had been indifferent in the Marquis Manor, but suddenly acting out, the female relatives were surprised.
Even, some were astonished.
Qin He had been smooth sailing for these years, and two days ago, she had lost face in the Yan Guogong Fu because of Qin Bi. Qin He had been holding back her anger with nowhere to vent, worried about being criticized for not getting along with her sisters at home.
Now that Qin Bi made the first move, Qin He exploded with anger and even sneered.
"Qin Bi Jiejie." Qin Han sided with Qin He and tried to mediate, but blamed Qin Bi: "It's too much for you to speak like this. As sisters, why make the relationship so stiff?"
Qin Bi looked at Qin Han and didn't leave any face: "Your sister is Qin He, not me."
"You..." Qin Han was angered and threw out a sentence: "Unreasonable."
The others also felt that Qin Bi had gone too far. Qin Han was only trying to mediate, and Qin Bi lashing out at even Qin Han was indeed excessive. Qin Han and Qin He had a good relationship, but wasn't Qin Han running a shop with Qin He? With their interests intertwined, a good relationship was only natural.
"I knew you were jealous that I have a good relationship with my sisters at home. Are you not hiding it now?" Qin He sneered, having sisters help her wipe the tea leaves off her face. Qin He became angrier the more she thought about it, pushed the sisters away, and stared at Qin Bi: "Being a Shizifei is amazing, what are you pulling? After being a Shizifei for a few days, you forgot that you couldn't stay in Jingcheng back then."
Qin He wanted to poke Qin Bi's sore spot and provoke Qin Bi, so that the Marquis Manor would favor her.
Whether it was the Marquis Manor, the Rong Wang Fu, or the Yan Guogong Fu, they wouldn't allow Qin Bi to bully her sisters at home. If this reputation spread, noble clans wouldn't accept Qin Bi, saying she had no manners.
Just like when she went to the Yan Guogong Fu, how the He family looked at her.
The ladies would say, sure enough, she was illegitimate and had no manners.
But to Qin He's disappointment, Qin Bi wasn't angry, but said to Qin Xun's wife, Lin Shi, beside her: "Second sister-in-law, let me use your handkerchief."
Lin Shi handed the handkerchief to Qin Bi. Qin He sneered: "You actually told me to get lost? Heh, you don't even look at whether you have this status in the Marquis Manor. I am the family's pride; I can earn silver for the Marquis Manor and offer advice. What can you do for the Marquis Manor? You only know how to show off in front of your sisters. You shouldn't have been allowed to return to Jingcheng back then."
Qin Bi wrapped her hand with the small handkerchief, not caring whether it was an obstacle to touch Qin He. Just as Qin He finished speaking, Qin Bi walked over slowly, reached out, and slapped Qin He. Saying a thousand words and ten thousand words wasn't as good as a beating to make her honest.
The female relatives exclaimed, all caught off guard and looking panicked.
"Why did you take action?" The Shizi's wife said: "Stop."
Qin He screamed, her eyes full of resentment: "Qin Bi, you still dare to hit me?"
Qin He exploded with anger. She only wanted to provoke Qin Bi and argue with Qin Bi, then accuse Qin Bi in front of the elders, making the entire Marquis Manor abandon Qin Bi, just like when Qin Bi married Heir He back then, paving the way for her, and Qin Bi became the one the Marquis Manor abandoned.
The Marquis Manor should abandon Qin Bi, and must abandon Qin Bi.
Qin He didn't allow the Marquis Manor's sisters to step on her head, especially when this person was Qin Bi, whom she disliked the most.
Qin He was extremely angry and took out a summoning artifact. There was no other way; Qin Bi didn't look like someone to be trifled with, especially Qin Bi's momentum. Qin He was afraid and could only use the summoning artifact.
"Qin He." The Shizi's wife shouted angrily: "Put away the summoning artifact."
Qin He's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "She hit me."
The Shizi's wife's tone was unquestionable: "That still doesn't mean you can use a summoning artifact."
Qin He reluctantly put away the summoning artifact and made a demand: "Qin Bi bullied her sisters at home and must apologize to me and Qin Han, apologize in front of everyone, otherwise I absolutely won't agree."
Qin He was relentless. The several Madams in the main hall heard the movement and walked out.
Under the tree shade, the tables and chairs were moved out. The Qin Yan Hou Madam and her sisters-in-law sat down with stiff faces. Qin He's legitimate younger sister ran to Cui Shi to complain: "Mother, Qin Bi Jiejie hit my Qin He Jiejie."
Cui Shi looked at Qin Bi: "You hit her?"
She was Qin He's stepmother and couldn't sit idly by and let Qin He be beaten.
Qin Bi didn't care: "I hit her."
Cui Shi sized up the annoyed Qin Bi. She didn't need to beat around the bush; she just said she hit her. She didn't know if she was fearless or confident.
Cui Shi couldn't trust this illegitimate daughter, Qin He.
Qin He dared to speak wildly in front of her, and she didn't know what she had shown off in front of Qin Bi. Cui Shi wasn't an unreasonable person and would never favor the second branch's illegitimate daughter without distinguishing right from wrong.
"Why did you hit your cousin?" Cui Shi asked.
Qin Bi could not put Qin He in her eyes, but Cui Shi couldn't. This was an elder, and she had done nothing wrong to her. She had more city-dwelling than the second branch's legitimate daughter and was a well-deserved ancient mistress of the house.
He Shi and the others didn't speak, not knowing the situation, and it wasn't easy to blame anyone.
"Say something, why did you hit Qin He Jiejie." Qin He's legitimate younger sister said: "Weren't you very powerful just now?"
The Shizi, Qin Yan, was called over, and with him came the fourth branch's Qin Xun and the second branch's Qin Jue. The manor was holding a flower-viewing banquet, and the Marquis Manor's young ladies fighting at this time couldn't be handled lightly.
Besides, Qin He wouldn't agree.
Qin Bi was the Rong Wang Fu's Shizifei, and Qin He was the Xue Wang Fu's Shizifei. Qin Yan wanted to hear what was going on. The guests were all in the garden and didn't know the situation in the eldest branch's courtyard.
"Say what? Say first that Qin He went around saying I secretly gave birth to Heir He's child, or say first that Qin He mocked me for leaving Jingcheng back then?" Qin Bi didn't have any emotions, and if she did, it was annoyance at Qin He. She said: "Others don't know why I left Jingcheng, but doesn't Qin He know? Using my leaving Jingcheng to make a point, isn't it natural for me to hit Qin He?"
The expressions of the Qin Yan Hou Madam and the others changed, and Qin Yan also frowned.
The reason Qin Bi left Jingcheng was because Qin He snatched the engagement between Qin Bi and the Yan Guogong Fu, and Qin Bi couldn't stay in Jingcheng, so she followed the third branch's family and left Jingcheng.
As for Qin Bi secretly giving birth to Heir He's child?
The Yan Guogong Fu was about to go crazy with joy, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the He family to be grateful to Qin Bi. When it came to Qin He, she maliciously arranged for Qin Bi to secretly give birth to Heir He's child.
The Qin Yan Hou Madam asked: "Qin He, did you say that?"
Qin He felt guilty for a moment, then raised her chin again: "I just asked a question, I didn't have any other meaning. Others were discussing it, so what's wrong with me asking with concern?"
Qin Bi stood with Jiang Shi at this time, away from Qin He. Qin Bi pointed at Qin He and said to Qin Xun: "Brother, you hit her."
Qin Xun didn't say a word and slapped Qin He. A man's strength wasn't something a woman could compare to. Qin He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Qin Jue stood out: "Qin Xun, you've gone too far."
"Fourth sister-in-law." Cui Shi turned to He Shi: "I will deal with Qin He if she is wrong, but it's not right for your fourth branch's children to hit her." ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
