Chapter 371: The Whole Marquis Manor Knows

After Qin Tang finished speaking, he looked blank.

The Heir Apparent Rong couldn't be bothered to care; what did it have to do with him?

In any case, one couldn't just pick any young lady from the Marquis Manor to make up the numbers.

Qin Bi's eyes flickered. Qin Tang and Qin Lang each carefully sorted things out. At that time, there was still an unmarried woman in the Fourth Branch, and that was Qin Bi, but the Heir Apparent Rong didn't like Qin Bi!

So, this matter...

Qin Tang wasn't stupid, and Qin Lang was quite clever.

Qin Tang's mind stirred, "..."

Qin Lang, "..."

The Heir Apparent Rong didn't point it out, but Qin Tang and Qin Lang had figured out the general meaning.

After a while, Qin Tang looked up at the Heir Apparent Rong, but the Heir Apparent Rong couldn't be bothered to look at him.

Could he ask? Qin Tang really wanted to ask the Heir Apparent Rong if the Fourth Branch being treated coldly was what he thought it was. If so, the Fourth Branch was too wronged; it was because you didn't treat our Qin Bi well!

No matter how the entire Qin Yan Hou Fu arranged candidates for the Shizifei for the Heir Apparent Rong, it was impossible to think of Qin Bi.

The powerful official Heir Apparent Rong didn't like Qin Bi; the whole Marquis Manor knew this. Qin Yan would have to have a hole in his brain to propose that Qin Bi and the Heir Apparent Rong get married. If they couldn't find a suitable one among the Marquis Manor's young ladies, even if they looked again, it was impossible to think that Qin Bi could be considered.

But it was such a taken-for-granted decision that they had misinterpreted it.

The Heir Apparent Rong didn't like Qin Bi, but that didn't seem to hinder him from setting Qin Bi for the Heir Apparent Rong.

But the whole manor couldn't think of it!

The people in the Marquis Manor had been puzzled for so many years. Now that the doubt was cleared, Qin Tang and Qin Lang were both silent, their heads aching. They were truly speechless. It would be best if they had understood it wrong.

If it was right, how depressing.

Qin Bi was silent for a while before saying, "The Marquis Manor values the Heir Apparent, which is why they chose a Shizifei for the Heir Apparent from the Marquis Manor, not out of neglect."

The Heir Apparent Rong glanced at Qin Bi, "I don't feel that the Qin Yan Hou Fu values me. The Heir Apparent Qin has asked me more than once, and every time I answered that the Shizifei should be chosen from the Fourth Branch, but what happened? The ones sent to me were all other women from the Marquis Manor."

Qin Bi didn't speak anymore. Choosing a Shizifei for the Heir Apparent Rong naturally meant picking from the legitimate daughters.

Only when there were really no suitable legitimate daughters would they choose from the concubine daughters. At that time, the only ones of suitable age in the Fourth Branch were her and Qin Han, and both were concubine daughters, so they were not considered candidates in the first place. Because of the Heir Apparent Rong's fate of being a wife-killer and childless, it was possible to choose a Shizifei from the concubine daughters.

Qin Han was about to discuss marriage at the time, and the Marquis Manor didn't mind breaking off the engagement. Even if they thought about breaking off the engagement for Qin Han, they didn't consider her.

For no other reason, because it was impossible.

However, it was because of this impossibility that the Marquis Manor was pitted.

The Heir Apparent Rong once intended to discuss marriage with noble ladies from other aristocratic families and abandoned this marriage with the Qin Yan Hou Fu. At that time, the entire Qin Yan Hou Fu was anxious and spent a lot of effort sifting through the young ladies of the Marquis Manor.

They even considered the cousin young lady.

The Heir Apparent Rong intended to abandon this marriage, so he was cold and indifferent to the Marquis Manor, which worried Qin Yan to death. Thinking about it now, Qin Bi stood up in a huff; she wasn't very happy either.

Qin Tang said after a long while, "The Heir Apparent Rong should have told us who he wanted to choose as the Shizifei."

The Heir Apparent Rong sneered, "Do I, Rong Juan, need to be pushy about marriage?"

It was the Qin Yan Hou Fu that was pushy about marrying him, not that he had to marry. If the person proposed by the Marquis Manor was right, the Heir Apparent Rong would marry; if not, the Heir Apparent Rong could marry into other aristocratic families.

Qin Tang, "..."

Qin Lang, "..."

But in the end, Qin Bi got married and divorced, didn't you also open your mouth to marry her?

Qin Tang and Qin Lang had a lot to say in their hearts and wanted to ask, but they knew that the Heir Apparent Rong couldn't tell them every detail of his calculations. In short, the Heir Apparent Rong had treated the Marquis Manor coldly and the Fourth Branch indifferently for so many years because the Qin Yan Hou Fu had misinterpreted everything.

To put it bluntly, the Heir Apparent Rong didn't want to marry into the Marquis Manor at all. He finally agreed, but the person proposed was wrong.

The Heir Apparent Rong had no intention of continuing the chat. He had told them why he treated the Marquis Manor coldly, and now the Heir Apparent Rong didn't care anymore. Now that the Qin Yan Hou Fu was still his wife's family, he would definitely protect the Qin Yan Hou Fu under his wings.

He didn't want to mention the past.

The Heir Apparent Rong got up and left for the study. With no children to bring, he had government affairs to discuss with his advisors.

Only Qin Tang, Qin Lang, and Qin Bi were left, looking at each other, speechless for a long while.

Qin Bi had a headache and was too lazy to sort out the past. Mentioning the past made Qin Bi angry. The Heir Apparent Rong's statement that he didn't like her made her marriage in the Marquis Manor difficult, and even after getting married, it didn't stop Qin Bi from minding.

A moment later, Qin Tang and Qin Lang got up to say goodbye.

On the carriage back to the Marquis Manor, Qin Lang said, "Cousin, the Heir Apparent Rong wouldn't have been looking at Qin Bi Jiejie all along, would he? Powerful officials are just like this, not making things clear. Among the young ladies of the Marquis Manor of suitable age at the time, besides Qin Han, there was only Qin Bi Jiejie."

The Heir Apparent Rong didn't like Qin Han, so it was only Qin Bi.

The candidate for the Heir Apparent Shizifei had been decided long ago, and their entire Marquis Manor was so confused that they didn't see it.

Qin Tang covered his face, "The Fourth Branch being treated coldly all these years, what a loss."

If the Heir Apparent Rong had said he wanted to marry Qin Bi, he should have said so earlier. Would the Fourth Branch have been reluctant? But Qin Yan and Qin Tang were both ignorant, and the Heir Apparent Qin was sifting through the whole Marquis Manor for the Heir Apparent Rong, but none of them met the Heir Apparent Rong's wishes.

Qin Tang didn't want to talk to Qin Lang. After returning to the Marquis Manor, he told Qin Xun about this.

Qin Xun, "..."

Qin Xun was also speechless for a long while. At the beginning, the Fourth Branch's legitimate daughter died in the Beast Realm small space, and both the Marquis Manor and the Fourth Branch were very anxious to marry, but the Heir Apparent Rong avoided talking about it. The Marquis Manor had no choice but to look among the young ladies of the Marquis Manor of suitable age.

The Heir Apparent Qin proposed a few, but the Heir Apparent Rong didn't say no, and turned around to discuss marriage with other nobles.

The Heir Apparent Qin had no choice. The heir of a powerful official couldn't be snatched away by others. Although the Heir Apparent He was interested in Qin He at the time, the Heir Apparent Qin still wanted to marry into the Rong Wang Fu, so he proposed Qin He to the Heir Apparent Rong.

This time the Heir Apparent Rong didn't ignore him and said directly, "Not suitable."

By this time, the Heir Apparent Rong was already very cold to the Qin Yan Hou Fu and didn't go to the Qin Yan Hou Fu anymore if there was nothing to do. The Fourth Branch was even more anxious, and Qin Tang tested the Heir Apparent Rong's meaning at the time.

Rong Juan said, "Rest assured, my Shizifei must come from the Fourth Branch of the Qin Yan Hou Fu."

Because of this, Qin Tang almost ruined the marriage between Qin Han and Jiang Mo.

Fortunately, Qin Tang tested the Heir Apparent Rong's meaning, and the Heir Apparent Rong said, "That's not necessary. My relationship with Jiang Mo is okay, and I don't have the habit of taking what others love. Qin Han won't do."

At that time, Qin Tang was in a dilemma. If Qin Han wouldn't do, then there was no one left.

From then on, the Fourth Branch was completely disliked by the Heir Apparent Rong. Even if the Heir Apparent Rong gave things and resources to the Second Branch along with the Heir Apparent He, he didn't let a single resource slip through his fingers to the Fourth Branch, even though they were envious.

The Fourth Branch had been puzzled for so many years, and today they finally figured it out, but their mood didn't improve at all; they were depressed to death. ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
