Chapter 414: No Cultivation Foundation

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and Qin Yan was silent for a moment.

How could this question be asked? Qin Yan had to suspect that Qin He was deliberately playing dumb.

Could it be that Qin He thought these spiritual vegetables were grown by the Marquis Manor itself?

Qin Yan sat in the chair and flicked the dust that didn't exist on his embroidered robe, saying: "Qin He, the Marquis Manor has just become a cultivation family for a year or so, and there is no income. It is unrealistic for the Marquis Manor to suddenly take out a lot of spiritual vegetables. No one in the Marquis Manor grows spiritual vegetables. The spiritual vegetables distributed this time were given by the Rong Wang Fu."

The words were clear enough. Qin Yan thought there was no need to say more.

Qin He was only startled for a moment, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "The spiritual vegetables given by the Rong Wang Fu should be distributed to the Second Branch even more! It must be given to me, right? The Xue Wang Fu and the Rong Wang Fu have a very good relationship."

If it weren't for her face, would Rong Shizi have sent spiritual vegetables to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor?

In the entire Qin Yan Marquis Manor, only she, Qin He, had the best relationship with the two powerful official Shizis. They opened a shop together, talked about cultivation, and they were like old friends for many years, with spiritual resonance and advancing together. She was a woman who could stand side by side with the powerful official Shizis.

Qin He was so certain, convinced that she should be distributed them, as if without her, the Rong Wang Fu couldn't have sent spiritual vegetables.

Qin Yan and the others lowered their heads and thought about it. It was really possible. Qin He was one of the famous talented women in the capital and could be considered a confidante of the two powerful official Shizis.

Who knew whether the Rong Wang Fu sent spiritual vegetables to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor in the capacity of a son-in-law, or whether it was also because of Qin He's face? Before Qin Bi married Rong Shizi, Rong Shizi didn't like her. The whole Marquis Manor knew this.

The more they thought about it, the more several young people of the Marquis Manor leaned toward Qin He. Qin He opened a shop and earned silver with the powerful official Shizis, and she had weight when speaking in front of Rong Shizi and He Shizi.

If it were in the past, perhaps Qin Shizi would have given Qin He this face.

Now, Qin Yan felt that some words needed to be said thoroughly. Qin Yan told Qin He: "The spiritual vegetables of the Rong Wang Fu were not given by Rong Shizi. Qin Bi gave them to her legitimate brother Qin Tang, and Qin Tang distributed them to me."

As soon as these words came out, the young ladies of the Marquis Manor were surprised, and even the Shizifei was astonished.

Could Qin Bi make the decision about the spiritual vegetables of the Rong Wang Fu? Wasn't it just because of the child that she was given the status of Shizifei, and nothing else? Spiritual vegetables were related to cultivation and shouldn't be touched by Qin Bi.

In other words, the Shizifei could eat them, but couldn't give them away.

Qin He also thought so, so she sneered and said: "Qin Bi Jiejie gave them, but it was also Rong Shizi's instruction. Rong Shizi allowed her to give them, so Qin Bi Jiejie could give them. How come she just followed Rong Shizi's instruction to give the spiritual vegetables to the Marquis Manor, and it became her decision?"

At this point, Qin He stared at Qin Yan and said: "Is it Qin Bi who didn't let Eldest Cousin distribute spiritual vegetables to me?"

Qin He's younger sister pouted: "It must be her idea."

The Shizifei was unhappy. If Qin Bi did this, it would be too inappropriate.

The branches of the Marquis Manor had been harmonious these years. Qin Bi was trying to sow discord between the branches, making the Second Branch dissatisfied and the Fourth Branch unhappy. What was the good of that?

Qin Yan also sank his face, but not because of Qin Bi. He said to Qin He: "Qin He, the Rong Wang Fu is not decided by Qin Bi. Could it be decided by you? Don't forget, you are the Xue Wang Fu's Shizifei, and your other identity is the Second Branch's concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, nothing more."

Qin He choked, and Qin He's younger sister also closed her mouth.

Even a fool could hear Qin Yan's unspoken words. Qin Bi's decision about the Rong Wang Fu's affairs was unquestionable. However, no matter how good Qin He's relationship with the two powerful official Shizis was, she wasn't the Yan Guogong Fu's Heir Apparent's wife, nor was she anything to the Rong Wang Fu.

Sister-in-law, could this status point fingers at the Rong Wang Fu?

She couldn't. Qin He had overstepped.

This was not knowing who she was. Knowing she had overstepped, Qin He cursed the ancient matters, but didn't dare to say more about this matter. Words would lead to mistakes. Fortunately, this was the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. If it were at a banquet, she would be pointed at.

"I just wanted to know why there were no spiritual vegetables for the Second Branch, and why there were none for me," Qin He rounded off the topic and continued: "Even if they were given by the Rong Wang Fu, if there were others', there should be a share for me and the Second Branch."

Everyone was watching from the sidelines, and no one said a word.

The Fourth Branch's Qin Tang and Qin Xun came to the front courtyard parlor, followed by Qin Lang. Hearing the movement, they came. It was fine if Qin He didn't mention the Fourth Branch and Qin Bi, but if she mentioned the Fourth Branch, then they had to settle the account.

Was the Fourth Branch a soft persimmon?

Hehe, it was just because the powerful official Shizis were biased toward the Second Branch before that the Fourth Branch had to avoid their edge. Now, for the sake of Rong Yang and Rong Chi, the Fourth Branch had to stand up.

And the Third Branch. From the moment Qin Bi left the capital with the Third Branch, it was destined that the affection would be different. Even if the whole family treated Qin Bi normally in the place where Qin Tan was a county magistrate, the Third Branch was the one who took Qin Bi away from the capital, avoiding He Shizi and Qin He.

At that time, the Third Branch never dreamed that Qin Bi would marry Rong Shizi and become the Shizifei. But as long as this position was given to Qin Bi, Qin Tan would go all out to stabilize Qin Bi's status.

Qin Lang, as the legitimate son of the Third Branch, aside from affection, had to protect Qin Bi.

As for Qin He? She couldn't be raised well, and she lacked a bit of affection.

The Third Branch and the Fourth Branch advanced and retreated together. Qin Yan, this Qin Shizi, wouldn't be swayed by emotions. His responsibility was to use all resources to lead the Qin Yan Marquis Manor and the family to take a step forward.

"The spiritual vegetables of the Rong Wang Fu were grown by Qin Bi," Qin Yan stared at Qin He, deliberately emphasizing, and then swept a glance at the others who had other thoughts. Sure enough, everyone's expression changed.

There was no need to argue about this. The spiritual vegetables grown by Qin Bi, once brought to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, were decided by the Fourth Branch. They belonged to the Fourth Branch. Even if they were given to the Qin Yan Marquis or the Qin Shizi, it couldn't erase the fact that they were the Fourth Branch's things.

Qin He wanted to say, so what if Qin Bi grew them? As long as they were things from the Rong Wang Fu, with her friendship with Rong Shizi, there must be a share of spiritual vegetables for her. Why would the Fourth Branch block it?

However, Qin Yan didn't give Qin He a chance. Qin Yan asked Qin He: "You ran over to ask me why you didn't distribute spiritual vegetables to the Second Branch, and why you didn't distribute them to yourself. Qin He, in the past, when the manor distributed things, which time did you distribute them to the Fourth Branch?"

The people of the Marquis Manor's brains immediately turned. Thinking of this, they were dumbfounded.

Qin Yan only paused for a moment, picked up the teacup to drink tea, took a small sip, and said: "If you have distributed anything to the Fourth Branch, the Fourth Branch has no reason not to give you spiritual vegetables. I will make the Fourth Branch compensate you. If you have never given anything to the Fourth Branch, you shouldn't have come on this trip."

Qin He: "......"

Opening her mouth, Qin He, who was just righteously indignant, was speechless.

Why did she have to distribute things to the Fourth Branch? The things He Shizi gave her weren't distributed to the Fourth Branch! ===== CHAPTER 415 =====

Why should she distribute things to the fourth branch? What He Shizi gave her, she wouldn't distribute to the fourth branch!
