Chapter 168: Powerful Summoning
Qin He looked like an orchid, and no one believed what she said.
Qin Jue thought he knew this illegitimate younger sister well and asked again.
In this way, the Shizi, Qin Yan, didn't ask.
"I didn't." Qin He argued: "It wasn't me who spread it."
Qin He didn't feel guilty at all. Whether it was Qin He who spread it didn't matter. Now it was confirmed that Qin He asked for a beating, and being beaten was her own fault. It was impossible for the second branch to regain face.
Even if it was a rumor and Qin He was unintentional, Qin Bi minded, so she should be hit.
The Qin Yan Hou Madam also looked serious: "Since when did our Marquis Manor's young ladies become so gossipy? Qin He, this matter is your fault, don't come back and talk nonsense next time."
Qin He was anxious, glaring at Qin Bi with red eyes: "You framed me? I'm not gossipy."
Qin He didn't feel guilty at all, looking like she had suffered a great grievance.
Seeing Qin He's expression of not having done anything wrong, some people wavered in their hearts. Perhaps Qin He was really unintentional, and being beaten and losing face for this was a bit too much. The Qin Yan Hou Madam even wanted to lightly skip over it.
"I framed you?" Qin Bi looked coldly: "What kind of thing do you think you are? Don't think no one knows your thoughts. You just want to make a point and want the Marquis Manor to dislike me."
"I didn't." Qin He said loudly and righteously: "You have this thought, so you think of me this way. Eldest aunt, eldest cousin, mother, you must stand on my side. Qin Bi is just a villain who has succeeded, liking to compare herself with me everywhere."
Everyone's expressions changed. Now, it didn't seem to be about who was right and who was wrong, but who had more ability.
If the Qin Yan Hou Madam and the Shizi Qin Yan chose Qin He, even if they didn't dislike Qin Bi, in the Qin Yan Hou Fu, Qin He would have more status in the future and be valued by her maiden family.
Several Madams looked at Qin He, then at Qin Bi, and others were silently making choices in their hearts.
Qin He was a disciple of the Xian Sect and had a likable personality. Her fortune value was high, and a large part of the Marquis Manor's money was earned by Qin Yan and Qin He opening shops together. Qin Bi just married well, and she had no ability herself.
Qin He saw everyone's expressions. To increase her bargaining chips, Qin He took out a summoning artifact with a stream drawn on it. She walked toward the small garden in the eldest branch's courtyard.
"Compared to Qin Bi, my talent is better." Qin He held the summoning artifact and waved her hand, summoning rain with the help of the artifact: "With my fortune value protecting the Marquis Manor, the Marquis Manor will definitely be able to go to the next level."
Following the summoning, a cloud cluster flew over Qin He's head. It wasn't big, but it was enough to rain on a small area.
This bargaining chip was not without temptation. For the Qin Yan Hou Fu, which had just become a cultivation family, they were moved by the spell that could summon rain. No matter who was right or wrong, they could ignore it if it was beneficial to the family.
"Summoned rain." The Marquis Manor's young lady excitedly pulled the sister beside her and said.
"Qin He Jiejie is still powerful. Why does she need to calculate against others." Qin Yan smiled and said: "Great Yan has almost had no rain this summer. Being able to summon rain is called having ability."
Qin He's legitimate younger sister snorted at Qin Bi: "Our Marquis Manor will definitely protect Qin He Jiejie. Not to mention that Qin He Jiejie is not wrong, even if she is wrong, we won't care."
These words reached the ears of He Shi and others. The Shizi Qin Yan stared at the cloud cluster with joy, while Qin Xun frowned. In this world, the strong are respected. Qin He took out an artifact that could summon rain, so who would blame Qin He for being wrong?
Qin Jue's face looked better. As long as Qin He was promising, small mistakes didn't matter.
Qin Lang, who had just rushed over, sank in his heart. Zhu Shi shook her head at Qin Lang. Qin He was a talented woman, whether it was earning silver or her reputation in Jingcheng, plus her status as a Xian Sect disciple. It was self-evident who the Marquis Manor valued more.
The cloud cluster with rain needed time to condense. Qin He continued to summon, looking proud.
The people of the eldest, second, and fifth branches showed joy, looking forward to the rain. No matter how big the rain was, as long as they could summon the scarce rain, they would be the stars holding the moon in the Qin Yan Hou Fu.
Qin Bi stood with Jiang Shi and Lin Shi. Seeing the cloud cluster on Qin He's head, Qin Bi stretched out her hand. Before everyone could be surprised at what she was going to do, the cloud cluster that had condensed a little rain flew away from Qin He's head and went straight to Jiang Shi.
"Oh my mother!" Jiang Shi hurriedly caught the cloud cluster that flew over.
Qin Lang reacted and hurriedly rummaged through his storage bag.
The Qin Yan Hou Madam and the Shizi Qin Yan were stunned, and others couldn't react for a while. Qin He was dumbfounded, not understanding how the cloud cluster she had worked so hard to summon had run away.
"Eldest sister-in-law." Qin Bi sneered coldly and said to Jiang Shi: "You have farmland under your name, right? This cloud cluster belongs to you."
Jiang Shi was pleasantly surprised. Qin Lang rummaged out a storage bag, and Qin Xun snatched it over, walked to Jiang Shi, and put the cloud cluster into the storage bag. In this way, as long as they were cultivators, they could perform rain.
"Caught a cloud cluster." Qin Lang was full of joy.
"That was the cloud cluster I summoned." Qin He was anxious and looked for the Shizi Qin Yan and the Qin Yan Hou Madam to support her: "Eldest cousin, eldest aunt, Great Yan lacks rain. Qin Bi actually dared to stop me from summoning rain. She is too sensible."
In a cultivation world that lacks rain, it is absolutely not allowed to destroy the summoning of rain.
Qin Bi didn't need the Shizi Qin Yan to make a choice. Qin He wasn't proud of summoning rain? Then let Qin He see what is called summoning rain. Qin Bi mobilized her fighting spirit and moved the clouds and mist in the sky.
In a moment, black clouds gathered, and the dark, heavy cloud layers churned. The daytime turned into night, and the changes in the sky were very frightening.
People in the entire Jingcheng ran to the streets in panic. At this time, the Great Yan Emperor and the officials in the palace were also alarmed, rushing out of the main hall to watch the cloud layers moving. Dark clouds covered the sky, and groups of dark clouds rushed in one direction.
"This, this, this..." The Great Yan Emperor was excited: "Is it going to rain?!"
The Chancellor nodded excitedly: "Looking at these cloud layers, I think this rain won't be small. It's finally going to rain."
The Minister of Works was puzzled: "Why are these cloud layers all rushing in one direction?"
The chubby Great Yan Emperor and the Chancellor and others squinted to watch. The Emperor pointed to the sky and then to Great Yan Jingcheng: "As long as the dark clouds don't disperse, with this posture of rolling black clouds, it will rain in Jingcheng no matter what."
The Great Yan monarch and ministers were certain it would rain, and the Great Yan people also looked up and waited for the rain, not feeling that the dark cloud layer was scary at all. The women were busy tidying up things they were afraid of getting wet.
"This rain won't be small." An elderly man stroked his beard and said.
The person beside him said happily: "It's finally going to rain."
The Great Yan people had been waiting for rain since entering summer, and the land was about to dry up.
In the front garden of the Qin Yan Hou Fu, everyone didn't know yet that this was summoned dark clouds, looking up at the rolling black cloud layer with surprise and joy. Rong Juan held his young son in his arms, and He Yan picked up Rong Yang.
In the eldest branch's courtyard, Qin He looked horrified: "This is a demon wind, too scary." ===== CHAPTER 169 =====
