Chapter 416

"Qin Jue, you are still the one who understands reason." Qin Xun sat there, lightly shifting his gaze toward the red-faced Qin He: "Unlike some people, who don't understand anything, what a big face."

Qin Xun almost pointed at Qin He's nose to scold her. Qin He couldn't take the anger and said angrily: "Cousin, don't speak so harshly."

"Oh." Qin Xun was surprised: "Am I your cousin? Am I not some top-grade relative?"

Good fellow, once these words were out, even the expression of Qin He's legitimate younger sister couldn't hold up.

Qin He liked to call others top-grade relatives. The top-grade relatives in her mouth were difficult to deal with and liked to take advantage of others. She often kept it on her lips, and there was no one in the entire Marquis Manor who didn't know how Qin He viewed others.

She hadn't said it explicitly, but anyway, those she looked down upon and who didn't get along with her all belonged to the top-grade relatives.

No one knew how top-grade others were, but anyway, Qin He was quite top-grade today.

Qin Tang, the eldest legitimate son of the fourth branch, did not intend to let Qin He off. At this moment, Qin Tang laughed: "Is it harsh to speak? Qin He, when you were in charge of distributing resources for the Marquis Manor, did you ever distribute any to the fourth branch?"

Qin He moved her mouth. Qin Tang forgave her for not being able to spit out ivory, gave a light sneer, and answered his own question: "No, you made things difficult for the fourth branch at every turn and never distributed any to the fourth branch even once. Then, I ask you, what face do you have to come here today and reach out for the spiritual vegetables that the fourth branch gave to the Marquis Manor? You top-grade person, don't you think you are a big top-grade yourself?"

Qin Tang paused and continued: "The biggest top-grade relative is you, and you still think you have such a big face."

"That's right, always talking about top-grade relatives and mocking others." Lin Shi sneered, too lazy to look at Qin He's face, turned her body away, and didn't even look at Qin He straight on: "Don't you have any self-awareness of what kind of top-grade you are?"

She hadn't felt it before, but today she could finally see that Qin He was a big top-grade.

People from the other branches of the Marquis Manor looked at each other. This, this, Qin He was not in the right. It would be fine if she were upright and didn't fear shadows, but the problem was that Qin He had indeed done things to exclude the fourth branch.

The younger ones, such as Qin Yan and Qin Cui, had never thought about these things. Today, when everyone laid it out, they weren't fools either, and as soon as they heard it, they knew Qin He was not in the right.

"Oh my." Qin Yan stood in a corner, feeling embarrassed for Qin He, and lowered her head to say to Qin Cui: "Why did Sister Qin He come to ask for spiritual vegetables? If she wants something, she should ask He Shizi for it; that would be better than asking the fourth branch for things. Look, the things she did in the past can't be brought to the table, and now that people are settling old scores, she has no face at all, you know? Doesn't she have any self-awareness? I didn't know she had done so many small actions in the past."

If she doesn't understand big principles, can't she at least understand simple reason?

Has Qin He's brain stopped working because she's sick? Today she ran over and was pointed at and scolded, and the problem is, she can't even say anything when being scolded. What can you say? You came to ask people for things.

It would be better for Qin Yan and the others to open their mouths to ask for things than for Qin He to ask for things.

Qin Yan and Qin Cui hadn't done anything too excessive, but Qin He had.

Qin He wanted to explain: "You misunderstood me, I have no malice toward the fourth branch."

As a young lady of the Marquis Manor, if Qin He wanted to be a pride of the Marquis Manor, she couldn't have a tarnished reputation. If the reputation of her making things difficult for the fourth branch at every turn spread out, how would others view her? Qin He was truly anxious.

Qin Lang sneered: "Do you believe these words? Do you know what a top-grade relative is? You are that kind of person. When others are doing well, if things don't go your way, you slap a top-grade label on them. You are good, you are shameless, you don't even know what a top-grade relative is."

Qin He was annoyed and wanted to argue, but Qin He forgot that she was only a transmigrator who had arrived later and had not accepted any ancient literary poetry or books. What kind of character, what kind of etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame—Qin He only had a half-baked understanding of them.

When it came to playing with words and understanding reason, Qin He was completely a defeated opponent.

Besides, Qin He was not in the right, and could only be tongue-tied when being ridiculed and mocked, her face turning white and red with anger. Qin Jue had to smooth things over, and Qin He's legitimate younger sister also became quiet.

Qin Yan was too lazy to care. She wasn't in the right, yet she came over aggressively, looking like she was coming to hold them accountable.

A spoiled habit. Qin He often questioned others with dissatisfaction, asking them what right they had. Now that she was questioned back by Qin Tang, who asked Qin He: "What right do you have to want spiritual vegetables?"

Qin He was speechless and really wanted to run away in a panic, but she couldn't leave.

If she didn't leave, she could only be ridiculed and mocked. Qin He was extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, the Prince of Xue received the news and rushed over. As soon as he entered the living room, he spoke nice words and apologized to Qin Tang and the others: "Qin Tang, it's all Qin He's fault. She ran over without knowing anything, please don't take offense."

"Oh, it's nothing." Qin Tang was the eldest legitimate son, so he could keep his composure and said: "As long as you don't call us top-grade relatives when you go out, that's fine. We've been called top-grade relatives by people for several years."

The Prince of Xue: "......"

The Prince of Xue laughed it off: "Hahaha......, Qin He is a young lady of the Marquis Manor, your own sister, are you still blaming her for not being sensible? You listen to others talking nonsense, there's no such thing, where would there be any top-grade relatives."

"I won't haggle with top-grade people." Qin Tang waved his hand: "Take her away. Don't even think about spiritual vegetables. Don't think about it this time, and there won't be a share for Qin He next time either. She has to bear what she has done herself."

The Prince of Xue's face turned red, and he stood up: "Then I will take Qin He and leave first."

Qin Yan waved his hand: "I won't see you out."

The Prince of Xue didn't expect anyone to see him out either. He had lost a lot of face today. He didn't even know that Qin He, who was as elegant as an orchid, had actually done so many things to stir up discord between the various branches in the Marquis Manor in the past.

Qin He gave a secretly resentful glare before following the Prince of Xue away.

Qin Jue stood up to see them off. Qin Yan and the others thought about it and decided to see them off anyway. Since the Prince of Xue had come, if they had the heart to marry high and climb up to the Prince of Xue's Manor, they could get to know more noble children.

Once Qin Jue and the others left, Qin Tang said to Qin Yan again: "Spiritual vegetables cannot be given to the second branch and Qin He."

The Shizi's wife was stunned. Are you being so petty? We are all family. Today, Qin He has already been put in an awkward position, so that should be enough. Everyone has vented their anger, so why not make up with the second branch?

Qin Yan had his own count and nodded: "Hmm."

Qin Tang and the others walked out of the living room, and Jiang Shi and Lin Shi followed.

Qin Lang looked at the entrance of the Marquis Manor. Qin Jue and the others hadn't returned from seeing off the Prince of Xue and Qin He. Qin Lang said: "How truly shameless! If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to make this trip."

"She has good fortune." Qin Xun sighed helplessly: "She married well, what else can be done."

The group walked all the way, heading toward the fourth branch.

Qin Lang and Qin Tang parted ways, hurried back to the third branch, and rushed into the study.

Qin Tan scolded him: "So rash and impatient, what kind of decorum is this."

Qin Lang roughly recounted what had happened in the front courtyard and worried: "Father, I see that Qin He was ridiculed and mocked today and has held a grudge. Cousin Qin Tang and I don't have high cultivation levels, so we must be careful when we go to the small space of the Beast Realm in the future."

Qin Tan narrowed his eyes: "Go and tell your sister."
