Chapter 421

The He family's meaning was that Qin He was acting up, making her maternal family worry.

Unnecessary worry, the He family was impatient.

The Qin Yan Marquis's wife didn't intend to patch things up for Qin He. It was Qin He who was acting up. She was sick, but this illness wasn't a real illness; it was caused by things not going her way. She was sick because of pent-up frustration.

Speaking of which, it wasn't a real illness, but it was just that she was uncomfortable.

"Shall we go to the Xue Prince's Manor tomorrow?" The Qin Yan Marquis's wife asked for everyone's opinion.

The fifth wife didn't care: "I have no problem."

The He family said: "No need to be so urgent."

"It's time to visit." The Qin Yan Marquis's wife coaxed the He family: "We are all noble families, it wouldn't be good to be talked about. Besides, if the in-laws laugh at us for not loving the child, let's go for a walk and go through the motions."

The second and fourth branches were on bad terms. If the fourth branch didn't go, it would be too obvious. The Marquis Manor couldn't have such a reputation spread.

The He family sighed: "I didn't say not to go, just felt it was an unnecessary move. Running around today, I didn't see any major illness. No need to visit for minor illnesses and disasters."

To put it bluntly, she didn't want to go and didn't want to give Qin He face.

He He Shizi's wife hurriedly said: "Qin He is truly sick."

"Didn't see it." This treacherous Lin Shi said: "Able to run and jump, didn't see any illness. Instead, this temper is a bit big and needs to be changed. Married, not a child anymore, yet still acting so recklessly."

Lin Shi had reason and evidence. Others should have refuted it! No one refuted it.

It was too late to coax her. He He Shizi's wife, relying on Qin He not being there, probed the fourth branch: "Qin He is ignorant, we won't be the same as her. Let's go to the Xue Prince's Manor tomorrow."

Lin Shi looked at the He family, and the He family asked: "What shall we bring?"

The Qin Yan Marquis's wife roughly explained, taking medicinal herbs and tonics and the like. The He family had a count in her heart. Her relationship was distant, and Qin He might not necessarily value the fourth branch's things. Sending some meat or eggs would be fine.

The quantity was just enough to be decent. The Qin Yan Marquis's wife couldn't say anything. It was good enough that she could accompany Cui Shi on this trip. She couldn't demand what decent things the He family should take. If she didn't care about face and didn't go, no one could do anything.

Everyone discussed it. The He family confirmed that Qin He didn't put her maternal family at ease and loved to act up. He He Shizi's wife and the others listened. There was no way, they had to listen and coax the He family to go to the Xue Prince's Manor together to make the whole manor look harmonious.

The fifth wife asked Zhu Shi: "What are you bringing?"

The third wife Zhu Shi smiled: "My warehouse doesn't have any good things either."

The fifth wife understood. This meant she didn't intend to send good things. Thinking about it, the third and fourth branches had always advanced and retreated together, but her branch was a bit difficult. If the gift was heavy, her heart would ache; if it was light, Qin He would definitely be unhappy.

The fifth branch also relied somewhat on the second branch and Qin He. Qin He opened a shop and brought the fifth branch along to earn silver.

After the He family took the fourth branch and left, the fifth wife said to the Qin Yan Marquis's wife: "Sister-in-law, how about I give Qin He a small chili spirit vegetable? Qin Yan gave my family two small chili peppers."

The Qin Yan Marquis's wife felt stifled: "Your family doesn't have anything else besides small chili peppers? Qin Yan gave them to your branch to improve your cultivation levels. How can you take them and pass them on to Qin He?"

The fifth wife knew it was inappropriate and said: "I just thought it was fresh. A spirit vegetable, giving it to Qin He is at least a spirit vegetable. Maybe Qin He will value it, and we can consider this matter past."

"Either give both small chili peppers to Qin He, or don't give any." The Qin Yan Marquis's wife said: "One is not decent. Have you seen anyone visit someone's manor and only take one small chili pepper?"

Two small chili peppers wouldn't work either. The fifth wife's heart ached for two. They were originally cultivation resources, and thinking about how Qin He had often looked after the fifth branch before, she thought of Qin He when she had good things.

However, the Marquis's wife said one wasn't decent, and her heart ached for two, so forget it.

He He Shizi's wife and the fifth wife left together. The fifth wife returned to her own courtyard, and the Heir's wife went to the second branch's courtyard to tell Cui Shi that she would go to the Xue Prince's Manor with Cui Shi tomorrow.

Cui Shi arranged it immediately, and Qin Jue's wife counted the gifts to be brought.

Early the next morning, Jiang Shi and Lin Shi went to pay their respects to the He family.

The He family called Qin Lang: "Go call your sister Qin Bi."

Qin Lang agreed and immediately went to the Rong Prince's Manor.

Qin Lang caught up with breakfast. Qin Bi told him to eat together. Qin Lang didn't stand on ceremony and was responsible for feeding Rong Yang, while Rong Juan fed the little one. Qin Bi was full and took the little milk Tuanzi over.

They went to the side hall and placed the little milk Tuanzi on the small couch.

"Ah-woo." Qin Bi played with the little milk Tuanzi, scaring him.

The little milk Tuanzi Rong Chi wasn't afraid and laughed, swaying from side to side.

Qin Bi also laughed loudly, pulling his little feet.

The little milk Tuanzi scrambled up: "Again."

"Ah-woo." Qin Bi opened her mouth wide: "I'll eat you."

The little milk Tuanzi laughed and fell, rolling on the small couch.

After laughing enough, he climbed up: "Again."

Rong Juan looked at the happily playing little milk Tuanzi with annoyance: "It's endless. I'll send you to the Old Yan Guogong's manor in a while. Hurry up and take your small storage bag; don't come back empty-handed."

"Okay." The little milk Tuanzi was very sensible and said in a milky voice: "Come back full."

Qin Bi: "..."

Qin Lang: "..."

Qin Lang was stunned and asked Qin Bi: "How big is the storage bag?"

Qin Bi gestured: "This big."

"Oh, oh." Qin Lang looked and saw it was the size of a small basket. That was fine; he thought they were going to empty the Old Yan Guogong's manor.

Rong Juan put little shoes on the little milk Tuanzi. The child was happy, his little legs dangling. Qin Bi watched Heir Rong's patience. Rong Yang brought his homework, ready to follow Qin Bi to his maternal grandparents' home.

Qin Bi was a bad one. Before leaving, she said to the little milk Tuanzi putting on his shoes: "Not playing with you anymore. We are going to your maternal grandparents' home, not taking you."

Will he cry or not?

The little milk Tuanzi was stunned, his eyes red as he looked at his father, his little mouth pouting, wanting to cry but not crying, complaining: "Not taking Rong Chi."

Rong Juan: "..."

"You're provoking him again." Rong Juan said to Qin Bi: "If he cries in a while, you'll have to coax him again."

"Exactly, sister." Qin Lang didn't side with Qin Bi: "How could you deliberately provoke Rong Chi? He likes to join in the fun anyway. You could have just left without a sound, but you had to provoke him."

Qin Bi left in a good mood, provoking the little milk Tuanzi to shed a few golden beans. Fortunately, Heir Rong knew how to coax him, otherwise, there would be trouble. Qin Bi was just doing it on purpose.

Arriving at the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, they headed straight for the fourth branch.

The third wife Zhu Shi was also there, watching what gifts the He family had prepared.

This trip to the Xue Prince's Manor was purely for the Marquis Manor's face.

What could the He family prepare? Ordinary families usually brought some meat or eggs, while wealthy families mostly brought medicinal herbs and tonics, or rare melons and fruits. The He family told Jiang Shi to prepare some meat and eggs casually.

Would Qin He really eat them? No, it was just a formality.

Once given to the Xue Prince's Manor, no one cared how they were handled.
