Chapter 422

"Qin Bi." The He family waved her hand: "Come and see if these are okay."

Qin Lang took Rong Yang to Qin Bi's courtyard, and Qin Bi walked toward the He family.

The gifts were ten jin of meat and a basket of eggs. For ordinary families, it was a heavy gift, but for moving between manors, it was a bit light. However, for the fourth branch, Qin He wasn't an important relative.

Going through the motions, anything was fine.

Qin Bi was still worried there was something she didn't know and asked: "Is that all?"

The He family valued Qin Bi's opinion, which was why she called her to look over them.

Hearing this, the He family nodded: "That's all."

Qin Xun's child was playing on the side. Qin Bi said: "Take a few and go boil them to eat."

The He family: "..."

The child was very obedient to his aunt, took a few eggs from the basket, and sent them to the kitchen. It was originally a small basket, holding about ten jin, so taking ten or so wasn't much.

"This, this..." Jiang Shi said: "It's not noticeable."

The meaning was that she didn't think Qin Bi was doing anything wrong.

The He family was annoyed: "A few eggs, how much light can Qin He steal?"

The He family wasn't a stingy person.

Qin Bi was mysterious and pointedly said: "Don't give her a full amount. If it's a little less, Qin He will have a deficiency. The things sent to Qin He should all be missing corners and edges, not complete."

The He family: "..."

It didn't matter. Qin Bi was like this, and she indulged her.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi looked at each other, their hearts skipping a beat. Lin Shi pulled her child, whispered a few words, and the child walked to the gift box, took out a small dagger, and cut off a jin of meat. This wasn't complete either.

Seeing this, Zhu Shi hurriedly returned to the third branch's courtyard.

The things originally intended to be sent were all changed to meat and eggs. Qin Tan hadn't returned to the county magistrate's office yet. Seeing Zhu Shi busy, he asked, and Zhu Shi whispered Qin Bi's words to Qin Tan.

Qin Tan immediately thought of luck. Qin Bi could plant a field and attract a little lucky cloud Tuanzi, and it was a generous little lucky cloud Tuanzi. With a wave, the rain could grow spirit vegetables good for cultivation.

His gaze fell on the eggs brought out. The meat hadn't been bought yet.

Qin Tan called a servant: "Pick a few, boil them to eat, and you and the guards eat a few too."

"Yes." The servant immediately pulled his clothes, picked up the eggs, and put them on his clothes.

Zhu Shi: "..."

"You're the same as your niece." Zhu Shi was annoyed.

"I wish I had her luck." Qin Tan envied.

Zhu Shi went to the fourth branch again. Qin Bi was indeed doing well in everything now, unlike Qin He, who was depressed and sick. Why? Because things weren't going her way. She was used to things going smoothly, and couldn't stand it when they didn't.

Qin Han also wanted to follow everyone to the Xue Prince's Manor today. Among the sisters of the same generation in the Marquis Manor, who wouldn't visit Qin He? Qin Han had to go too. For no other reason, she had the best relationship with Qin He and they opened a shop together, involving too much.

Qin Han entered the fourth branch's courtyard and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Qin Bi.

Qin Bi never joined in when something happened to Qin He. This time...

Qin Han couldn't guess the situation and went over to greet her: "Sister Qin Bi, are you going to the Xue Prince's Manor too?"

With this probing tone, a sneer crossed Qin Bi's lips, and she said: "No, I'm not going. I'm just visiting my maternal home."

"Not going?" Qin Han stopped talking. Qin Bi looked at her, and Qin Han then said: "Qin He prepared generous gifts for Rong Yang and Rong Chi's full-month celebration. She's sick, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to go? Besides, that's if you don't have time. You don't seem to have anything to do now. Since you're at the Marquis Manor, why don't you go to the Xue Prince's Manor with us all?"

If Qin Bi and Qin He reconciled, her words would have contributed significantly.

Qin Bi smiled. Since Qin Han wanted to be meddlesome, Qin Bi didn't mind explaining the problem to Qin Han: "For Rong Yang and Rong Chi's full-month celebration, was Qin He going for me? She felt the spirit vegetables I planted were Heir Rong's and had nothing to do with me. In Qin He's eyes, I am me, and Heir Rong is Heir Rong. Since Qin He sent the full-month gift for Heir Rong's sake, I don't have to feel my face is big, right?"

Qin Bi waved her hand, extremely indifferent: "It's easy for Qin He to do this. I don't owe her anything, and I don't have to visit her."

Qin Han was speechless. Yes, she had nothing to say. Qin He had always done this and thought this way. Although it was very unreasonable, she did it anyway. Now it was fine, she had been slapped in the face.

Qin Bi had no scruples and did whatever she wanted, because that was exactly what Qin He did. Qin Bi didn't necessarily follow the rules in her conduct and human interactions based on her own set of ideas.

Qin Bi didn't give any face, and Qin Han's rush to arrange things for Qin He was completely unreasonable.

Qin Han closed her mouth and stopped mentioning asking Qin Bi to go to the Xue Prince's Manor.

He He Shizi's wife had been very busy early this morning, looking at what everyone had prepared in each courtyard, so the Qin Yan Marquis's wife could have a count in her heart. When the Heir's wife saw the gifts prepared by the third and fourth branches.

He He Shizi's wife: "..."

The second and fourth branches were on bad terms, just polite on the surface.

But why was the third branch joining in the fun?!

He He Shizi's wife returned to the main courtyard and told the Qin Yan Marquis's wife, then added: "The fourth branch only has meat and eggs, and the quantity is not large. The third branch is the same. The gifts are a bit poor."

"Sigh." The Qin Yan Marquis's wife sighed and ordered: "Add a few medicinal herbs to the third and fourth branches' gifts to avoid being talked about by the Xue Prince's Manor."

It was impossible to ask the fourth and third branches to add things. Gifts cost silver, and people prepared gifts based on their relationships. If you asked people to spend more silver, it would lead to unhappiness.

Several wives were ready, along with the wives and sisters of Qin He's generation, and they went to the Xue Prince's Manor in a flurry.

The Xue Prince's Manor had long been waiting, and the Xue Princess welcomed the people from the Marquis Manor.

Visits shouldn't last long. Everyone sat for a while, looked at Qin He's haggard face, and stood up to say goodbye.

After everyone left, Qin He sent her personal maid to count the things sent by her maternal family, asked about the meat and eggs sent by the third and fourth branches, and curled her lips in great dissatisfaction.

Hearing there were medicinal herbs, Qin He said: "Use the medicinal herbs to stew chicken. Take the medicinal herbs given by the third and fourth branches."

The maid didn't understand and said: "The medicinal herbs sent by the Qin Yan Marquis's wife and the second wife are the best, and there are fruits from the Heir's wife and Miss Qin Han, which are rare in winter. I'll wash a plate for the wife of the heir."

Qin He waved her hand: "Just use the medicinal herbs given by the third and fourth branches."

The maid had no choice, retreated, and took the medicinal herbs given by the third and fourth branches to stew the chicken.

Qin Han returned to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor with everyone and mentioned the spirit vegetables: "Mother, aren't there spirit vegetables for me?"

The He family: "..."

She knew this would happen and had guessed it. She didn't expect Qin Han to really open her mouth and ask. No wonder Lin Shi wasn't at ease, looking like she was afraid of this sister-in-law. Qin Han had been seen through by others.

"Spirit vegetables planted by Qin Bi." The He family said: "Go ask Qin Bi for them. I don't know how to plant vegetables."
