Chapter 355: Still Thinking She

The Second Lady Cui Shi said: "As long as you know. There is no shortage of illegitimate sons and daughters in noble families. Your father, Heir Apparent Xue, hasn't taken a concubine; be content."

Fubao looked up: "I am Fubao, a child born having swallowed two auspicious clouds; no one can compare."

"Sigh," the Second Lady Cui Shi sighed: "Some people are born noble and have the Emperor protecting them. Ordinary good fortune and luck are fine in a Marquis Manor, but in the entire Great Yan, they cannot compare to those born noble."

"I have the Xian Sect," Fubao said: "If I practice diligently, I can also be born noble."

A child is a child after all. The Second Lady Cui Shi stopped talking; it couldn't be explained.

Qin He's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she refused to return to the Xue Wang Fu for a long time. The Second Lady Cui Shi brought Qin He's younger sister over, used a warm towel to wipe Qin He's face, and applied a hot compress to her eyes.

Once nothing could be seen, she sent Qin He away.

Qin He's younger sister was worried and called Qin Yan to send her off. The Second Branch's legal son Qin Jue could also send his own sister back, but not this time. The matter of Qin He being thrown out of the Yan Guogong Fu could not even be mentioned.

The ladies in the front courtyard also dispersed. This incident with Qin He made it impossible for everyone to continue gathering.

Qin Han returned to the Fourth Branch's courtyard. Qin Bi had a headache. At this moment, she brewed tea, and everyone was talking. Qin Han came and sat down, showing worry when mentioning Qin He. Jiang Shi just gave a few perfunctory words.

Lin Shi said softly but firmly: "Sister Qin Han and Qin He are as close as sisters. It would be better if you were born in the Second Branch."

Clearly born in the Fourth Branch, yet she thought of the Second Branch everywhere. Lin Shi had long been unhappy in her heart. A young lady of the Marquis Manor should have thin skin, and Lin Shi, as a sister-in-law, shouldn't talk about Qin Han, but today Lin Shi couldn't help but say a few words.

Qin Han was stunned, and her complexion turned bad immediately.

Qin Han didn't want to accept this accusation, as if she were siding with outsiders. She weighed her words, not wanting to turn red-faced with Lin Shi, and said: "Sister-in-law, Qin He is also family. I'm worried, is that wrong?"

Lin Shi, a delicate person, immediately said innocently: "No, who said it was wrong? We all see that you and Qin He have a good relationship. It's just that Qin He is outstanding and competitive, and she isn't kind to our Fourth Branch."

Qin He wasn't kind to the Fourth Branch, but she was good to Qin Han.

Qin Han had always cast aside her status as an illegitimate daughter of the Fourth Branch and played well with Qin He, but who was she fooling? Qin Han couldn't change the fact that she was an illegitimate daughter of the Fourth Branch. Qin Han's words were full of worry for Qin He, and Lin Shi couldn't stand it.

Qin Han didn't think Qin He was wrong: "Sister Qin He didn't do anything."

Lin Shi pulled down her face: "Sister, you should go back to your Jiang family."

Qin Han blushed, unable to hang her face after being driven away by her sister-in-law, and looked up: "Mother!"

He Shi used to raise Qin Han by her side and didn't treat her badly, but this illegitimate daughter was becoming more and more biased toward the Second Branch.

He Shi waved her hand, also disappointed: "Go back. Don't come to the Marquis Manor if there's nothing to do."

"Mother," Qin Han knelt down immediately: "I shouldn't have made Mother unhappy, shouldn't have made Sister-in-law unhappy."

He Shi's expression was complex. Her ability to observe was not bad, but how could she not distinguish who was family? He Shi didn't let Qin Han get up. After all, she was an illegitimate daughter; it was easy for a legal mother to discipline her.

Lin Shi also sank her face: "Qin Han, who are you kneeling for?"

"Exactly," Jiang Shi said: "Can't a sister-in-law even talk to you?"

Qin Han was already married, yet she knelt down at every turn, making it seem like her maternal home was mistreating her.

Lin Shi only said a few words to her, the tone wasn't heavy, just a warning, yet Qin Han knelt down. Was it necessary? So pretentious, unable to suffer a grievance, still thinking she was a legal daughter.

Qin Han stood up, crying and saying: "Sister-in-law is right. I won't associate with Qin He in the future."

"Why are you crying?" He Shi said: "Tidy up and go back quickly."

Qin Han wiped her tears and stayed for a while longer, trying to ease the relationship as much as possible. An illegitimate daughter couldn't offend her sister-in-law; Qin Han was very clear about this. The matter just now had to be handled well with Lin Shi.

Otherwise, they would be distant next time they met.

Qin Bi was drinking tea and hadn't said a word from beginning to end. Qin Han was resentful in her heart, blaming her for having an average relationship with Qin Bi. Look, she suffered Lin Shi's reprimand, and Qin Bi didn't even say a word for her.

Qin Bi still had a headache: "I'm going back first."

He Shi nodded, and Lin Shi followed to see her off, sending someone to call Qin Xun. Qin Lang also ran over. Qin Xun and Qin Lang went together to send Qin Bi off. Qin Han didn't know, otherwise, she would be unhappy again.

In Qin Han's view, she was the most prestigious illegitimate daughter in the Fourth Branch, excluding the legal daughter.

In the past, Qin Han had more face in front of He Shi than Qin Bi.

Even among all the brothers and sisters of the Qin Yan Hou Fu, Qin Han had the most face. She was popular and played well with everyone, otherwise, Qin He wouldn't have brought her along to open a shop.

Returning to the Rong Wang Fu, Qin Lang and Qin Xun entered the manor and sat for a while in the Heir Apparent's courtyard.

"Sister," Qin Lang's eyes brightened: "Rong Yang is amazing, actually throwing Qin He out of the Yan Guogong Fu."

Qin Bi didn't know the situation either and smiled: "I'll ask him when he comes back."

Qin Lang and Qin Xun drank a bowl of tea and went back. Near dusk, Rong Yang and the little milk bun returned. The little milk bun didn't want to come back, but the Yan Guogong Fu wouldn't let him stay.

When he was sleepy, he cried for his father. Even if He Yan had enough luck, he couldn't let him cry like that.

He Yan and He Zu sent the two little buns back. He Yan stopped at the front courtyard, and He Zu sent the two children to the Heir Apparent's courtyard. Rong Yang, with his small stature, took the little milk bun and hugged him for Qin Bi.

He Zu took his leave. Qin Bi took the little milk bun, and the little bun was teary-eyed: "My..."

"If you cry again, Father won't let you go." Qin Bi knew the child's weakness.

"Uh..." The little milk bun choked. He still wanted to go to the Yan Guogong Fu.

The little milk bun wasn't stupid. His grandfather and father spoiled him, but his mother would really beat him. Although she hadn't really beaten him, if he angered his mother, his father wouldn't spare him. He was a sharp little cub.

Qin Bi fed the child water, and Rong Yang said: "Drank it."

Qin Bi ordered the maid to steam eggs, and Rong Yang said: "Ate my fill."

Alright, Qin Bi knew the Yan Guogong Fu hadn't mistreated her youngest son, Rong Chi, at all. The child played in the basket, and Qin Bi and Rong Yang coaxed and teased him to avoid him making a fuss.

The little milk bun Rong Chi was a cub who knew how to make a fuss, and he had many schemes.

Only then did Qin Bi have time to ask about Qin He going to the Yan Guogong Fu. Rong Yang said in a milky voice: "Mother, don't worry about Qin He. I'm here. I won't suffer a loss. Father only has me as a child; he won't not love me."

"You threw Qin He out of the manor," Qin Bi asked: "Does your father He Yan know?"

Rong Yang said: "He knows."

After a pause, Rong Yang told Qin Bi: "Mother, don't worry about me suffering a loss. Not driving Fubao out of the Yan Guogong Fu is to let her think she has an opportunity. If she wants to covet the luck and good fortune of the Yan Guogong Fu, she has to pay a price. I will let the Heir Apparent Xue's wife and Fubao see it but not be able to touch it."

Qin Bi's strategy wasn't bad, and after a rough thought, she knew what this price was. ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
