Chapter 4: What About Her Fortune?

Qin Bi looked at Zhu Shi, her heart aching: "Third Aunt, He Yan brings misfortune to his wives."

She didn't mention it before, but now she had to bring it up.

He Yan disliked her?

Just the fact that he brought misfortune to wives was fatal.

Qin Bi said this, feeling very exhausted. She was truly tired.

Transmigrating into this fictional dynasty, it was fine when she was young, but after her legitimate elder sister and the Heir of the Rong Prince became betrothed, she was suppressed in various ways. He He Shizi said she had ulterior motives and told her legitimate sister to guard against her.

In the entire Qin Yan Marquis Manor, having the Heir of the Rong Prince suppress her was enough.

He He Shizi of the Rong Prince had the fate of bringing misfortune to wives and having no children. Her legitimate sister died before she could marry.

He Yan disliked that she had been betrothed. This disdain made Qin Bi feel she was at a loss. If He Yan and Rong Juan hadn't stirred things up back then, she would have been married long ago. Forget it, not worth mentioning. Qin Han had already married that merchant's family.

The merchant's son didn't like her and had taken a fancy to Qin Han. Not calling off the engagement was also a heart disease.

Zhu Shi stiffened, speechless for a moment, and only sighed. The Qin Yan Marquis Manor was still harmonious, and the younger generation rarely schemed against each other. However, this time, Qin Bi's betrothal to the Heir of the Yan Guogong was to pave the way for the concubine-born daughter of the Second Branch.

In the end, Qin Bi was the one who was abandoned.

Qin He might not have had malicious intentions, but the one who was hurt was Qin Bi.

Thinking of the closeness of this child, Qin Bi, Zhu Shi's eyes became wet. She felt Qin Bi's hands were cold in the middle of summer and pulled the quilt for her: "Perhaps, you are unaffected. You were fine during the last marriage discussion."

It was Qin He of the Second Branch, whose blessing value was not low. As soon as Qin Bi left Jingcheng with her family, Qin He vomited blood and collapsed, nearly losing her life. Because of this, the marriage between the Second Branch and the Yan Guogong Manor was called off.

Otherwise, what could they do? Qin He was scared to death.

Qin Bi understood what her Third Aunt meant, and her heart was tired: "I'm already ill now."

The subtext was that she was being cursed by He Yan's fate. Qin Bi and He Yan were currently discussing the wedding date. As long as she felt uncomfortable, she could blame it on He Yan. Who told him to bring misfortune to wives?

What could Zhu Shi do? She could only sigh. The Marquis Manor was fallen and still relied on the Yan Guogong Manor.

After getting along for a long time, Zhu Shi was indeed closer to Qin Bi than to other nieces, but she didn't have the final say in the Marquis Manor. She also had to think about her own children. Qin Bi was a cut below her own children.

Zhu Shi stood up to leave, and Qin Bi shouted: "Third Aunt!"

Tears streamed down her face. Helplessness, grievance, all kinds of emotions could not be suppressed.

Zhu Shi couldn't stay any longer and mumbled something, calling Qin Lang to leave. Qin Lang looked back at the concubine-born cousin sitting on the bed crying, his heart aching, but he knew this engagement couldn't be called off.

After lunch, Qin Di came over.

"Has your Miss eaten?" Qin Di asked the maid.

The maid shook her head: "No."

Qin Di stepped into the room. Qin Bi had no other way; seeing a relative, she just cried and complained of grievances. Qin Bi's goal was only one: call off the engagement. Pave the way for Qin He? Was she crazy? She couldn't swallow this breath.

Qin Di sat in the chair, and after a long while, said: "The Yan Guogong Manor won't call off the engagement, so we can't."

After speaking, Qin Di left. Although she was a concubine-born daughter, she was also his child. It would be fine if He Yan's fate of bringing misfortune to wives had no effect on Qin Bi, but if it did, this child would be gone.

Qin Di was in a bad mood, didn't eat dinner, and didn't want to see He Shi.

He Shi sighed, and the entire Fourth Branch was suppressed.

Qin Tang's wife didn't dare to make a sound, trying not to get close to avoid being scolded by her mother-in-law, He Shi.

Qin Bi was both angry and stifled. This time she was truly ill. She felt her body wasn't working, and when she woke up from a nap, she didn't want to move. Her brain was dazed. She knew it in her heart, but was helpless.

Her sister-in-law went to sit with Qin Bi every day, and Qin Bi's crying made her feel terrible.

He Yan heard about it and came over. He entered Qin Bi's bedroom, and seeing him, Qin Bi's eyes turned red. He Yan paused, his heart skipping a beat, and immediately went over to take her pulse.

He Shi sat on the side, and Qin Di asked: "How is it?"

He Yan didn't speak, took a token, and sent someone to invite a physician.

The physician took her pulse for a moment and said bluntly: "Stagnation of heart Qi, damaging the spirit. I fear it will affect her lifespan."

Qin Bi stared at the quilt. She knew her lifespan was damaged. She could feel it—her body was heavy, her brain dazed, as if separated by a layer of illusion, somewhat unreal.

Qin Di's voice trembled: "Prescribe medicine, we'll nourish her."

Qin Di, his wife, and the physician went to the living room. He Yan had something to say to Qin Bi. After everyone went to the living room, He Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking like a different person from his cold and severe look the other day.

He Yan said gently: "Still angry? I was just speaking in anger; you actually took it seriously."

After speaking, He Yan reached out, wanting to touch Qin Bi's hand.

Qin Bi moved her hand away. He Yan paused, having no choice but to coax her: "Next time, I won't send Qin He things."

Qin Bi didn't feel happy: "Call off the engagement."

He Yan lowered his eyes: "We'll marry once you're recovered."

He Yan had no intention of calling off the engagement. Qin Bi's head ached severely.

He Yan stood up and left, sending people to deliver precious medicinal herbs. The wedding date was less than a month away. Qin Bi lay on the bed calculating the days, her heart in a panic. When her father, brother, and legitimate mother came to see her, Qin Bi went all out.

"Father, Brother, is the future so important? This marriage looks down on me. He He Shizi marrying me is just for Qin He. They bully me to this extent, and you can't even call off the engagement." Qin Bi complained aggrievedly, crying: "Don't blame me for complaining. I can only find you when I'm wronged. If I don't find my father and brother, who do I find? Why give birth to me if you can't protect me?"

Qin Di's heart ached, and Qin Tang clenched his fists.

He Shi was also angry at her maiden family, but she couldn't help but consider her son's future. Qin Bi's words made Qin Di and Qin Tang feel uncomfortable. Usually, there wasn't much affection, but Qin Bi's words poked at Qin Di's heart.

He Shi also felt bad: "Your grandfather and eldest uncle won't follow your wishes. This engagement cannot be called off."

After a pause, He Shi didn't mind speaking directly: "Our Marquis Manor won't be able to inherit the title after your eldest cousin."

How could Qin Bi not understand? She took a step back: "Fine, don't call off the engagement, but after breaking the fate of bringing misfortune to wives, I will divorce and come back. You must support me." Speaking of this, Qin Bi's tears streamed down: "I have nowhere to go."

Qin Tang was about to speak, but Qin Bi cut him off: "Don't talk to me about bringing misfortune to wives. I have no other requests. Father, you gave birth to me, can't you and my brother protect me once?!"

Qin Di's eyes turned red, and he called Qin Tang out.

Qin Bi cried until she was tired and fell into a dazed sleep. Waking up stifled and unable to sleep, Qin Bi knew that even if she didn't die, her lifespan would be affected. She was thinking that this was a fictional world of fortune and blessings.

What about her fortune?!

Qin Di and his son went to find the Old Marquis of Qin. No one knew what was said, but the Old Marquis sent the Marquis of Qin Yan to the Yan Guogong Manor to propose a divorce after the wedding.

Qin Bi knew that for a fallen Marquis Manor, the Marquis of Qin Yan being able to make this trip was already not easy.

Qin Bi appreciated it, and the stifling feeling in her heart dissipated a little, just waiting for the Yan Guogong Manor's reply. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
