Chapter 498: Scolding Qin Han

If Qin Bi had strategy, the Qin Yan Hou Fu would be overjoyed.

Being able to accurately calculate human hearts showed that her brain was not bad.

Qin Tan and Qin Di chatted about the Red Flame Festival; it was time to start preparing. Shen Shi had originally been chatting happily with Jiang Shi and Lin Shi, but upon hearing that Qin Han had designs on the two legitimate sons' farmland, her face immediately fell.

"What did she say when you went?" Shen Shi asked.

"What could she say?" Qin Xun said: "She made excuses, of course. Qin Han said she intended to come back in the evening to tell my eldest brother and me."

Shen Shi was burning with anger; in other words, Qin Han had acted on her own!

"Tell your father, when has Qin Han ever held me, her legitimate mother, and you two legitimate brothers in her eyes?" Shen Shi pondered while saying: "I raised her by my side, yet she is so ignorant of the rules. She must be made to know what the distinction between legitimate and concubine-born means."

Qin Xun looked at Qin Bi, and Qin Bi waved her hand: "I don't mind; it wasn't about me."

Shen Shi softened her expression. This one was good, unlike Qin Han, who actually dared to covet the property of the legitimate-born. If the relationship between the legitimate and concubine-born were good, Shen Shi wouldn't be angry if Qin Tang and Qin Xun had opened their mouths to let Qin Han plant the land.

The main thing was that Qin Han had acted on her own without even asking.

No matter how much Shen Shi doted on Qin Han, she couldn't let her overstep her own legitimate sons.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were also very angry. Lin Shi said: "I never noticed it before, but Qin Han, relying on growing up by her mother's side, doesn't even hold us legitimate-born in her eyes anymore."

Jiang Shi also said: "Qin Han is too disappointing."

Shen Shi was not Qin Di; when the concubine-born touched the interests of the legitimate sons, she wouldn't indulge her at all. She immediately sent someone to the Savage Lands to call Qin Han and Jiang Mo back.

Shen Shi opened her storage bag and took out a small teleportation array, which she usually couldn't bear to use.

As a legitimate mother, teaching a concubine-born daughter a lesson, Shen Shi didn't care about the heartache of using the teleportation array.

Qin Lang volunteered, reaching out to take the small teleportation array: "I'll take a trip to the Savage Lands."

Shen Shi gave the small teleportation array to Qin Lang: "That works too. Go and return quickly."

Qin Lang took the small teleportation array to the courtyard and activated it to leave.

Qin Bi sat down next to Qin Tang and Qin Xun in turn, waiting. Shen Shi didn't hold back, calling all the concubine-born sons and daughters of the fourth branch, as well as the concubines; Qin Han's mother also came.

Everyone was silent as cicadas in winter. Subsequently, Qin Di and Qin Tan also came from the study, along with the Third Madam, Zhu Shi.

Qin Lang went to the Savage Lands and went straight to call Qin Han and Jiang Mo: "My Fourth Aunt is calling you back."

Qin Han's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately showed a panicked look. Jiang Mo went to tell the Qin Heir, calling Jiang Ren along. Qin He and the others saw this and poked their heads out one by one.

Qin He hesitated for a moment and walked over: "It's still early; what is the rush to call Qin Han back at this hour?"

"If you are curious," Qin Lang looked at her: "you can follow along back."

Qin He was displeased and lowered her head to hide her emotions, then looked up and said with a smile: "Qin Lang, who provoked you to speak so sharply? You are not allowed to speak like this to your own cousin."

Qin Lang ignored her.

Qin He lost some face and stopped talking.

"Isn't it just wanting to plant crops on the farmland?" Qin Yuan muttered: "What's the big deal?"

So she knew why Qin Lang had come, and Qin He had asked unnecessarily.

Knowing it was wrong but still wanting to plant vegetables on the farmland reclaimed by Qin Tang and Qin Xun, Qin Lang sneered. Still a young lady of the Marquis Manor? How shameful, not a bit of the demeanor of a young lady of a great family.

The Qin Heir and Qin Xiang naturally understood Shen Shi's reaction. As a legitimate mother, Shen Shi could least tolerate Qin Han acting on her own and touching the property of the legitimate-born. In the past, she had sent Qin Lang to make Qin Han's family leave.

Teleporting to the fourth branch's courtyard of the Marquis Manor, Qin Han hesitated to enter the sitting room.

Jiang Mo stepped forward and entered the sitting room before Qin Lang. Wrong is wrong; what was the point of hiding? Qin Han gritted her teeth and had to pull Jiang Ren along into the main sitting room.

In the main seats were Qin Di and his wife, and Qin Tan and his wife.

On both sides were Qin Tang, Qin Xun, Qin Bi, Jiang Shi, Lin Shi, and the concubines and concubine-born sons and daughters of the fourth branch.

There was only one small concubine-born son and one small concubine-born daughter; the ones slightly older had also gone to the Savage Lands and hadn't returned yet. Qin Han had never seen such a formation and immediately admitted her mistake.

"Do you still have me, your legitimate mother, in your eyes?" Shen Shi said: "You don't even hold your legitimate brothers in your eyes."

Qin Di also said angrily: "Who gave you the guts to touch your legitimate brothers' property?"

"Father, Mother," Qin Han sobbed: "I was wrong."

Jiang Mo also said: "Father, Mother, Qin Han knows she was wrong."

"Knows she was wrong?" Qin Di's gaze swept over, questioning Qin Han: "If you truly knew you were wrong, when your Second Brother returned from the Savage Lands in anger, you should have come back immediately to make amends, instead of continuing to not take it seriously."

"I wanted to come back to apologize to my brother," Qin Han said while crying: "but there was no teleportation array, so I could only wait until evening to return."

There was no need for Shen Shi to flare up. At such a time, Qin Di, as the head of the family, could least indulge the concubine-born, lest the legitimate wife and legitimate sons feel cold-hearted. Moreover, Qin Han was clearly in the wrong.

"As long as you had the heart, Qin Yan would have taken out a teleportation array." Qin Di said: "And Qin He, if you told me Qin Bi couldn't get a teleportation array from Qin He, I might believe it. But if you asked, would Qin He not give you a teleportation array to return? You just took it for granted that your legitimate mother and legitimate brothers were tolerant of you."

Qin Han had nothing to say except to cry loudly.

None of the concubines or concubine-born dared to make a sound. Qin Di scolded Qin Han, causing her to lose all face, and she cried uncontrollably. Shen Shi, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun watched coldly.

Zhu Shi did not plead for her, and Qin Bi didn't care at all; she had brought it upon herself.

"My husband and children are here," Qin Han said: "please leave me some face."

Qin Di and Qin Tan both cooled their faces. Qin Han thought that by bringing out her husband and children, she could reduce the scolding, but it backfired. Her little schemes couldn't even fool Shen Shi and Zhu Shi.

"Very well, Qin Han." Qin Di slammed the table heavily: "Staying with Qin He, you haven't learned anything else, but you've learned quite a few little schemes. Bringing your children here, isn't it just to make your mother and me not scold you for the sake of the children? You've started playing little tricks on your own family too."

Qin Di was especially angry. If it weren't for the sake of Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren, he would have kicked her. A disappointing thing; as a concubine-born daughter, she played a good hand into such a mess.

Originally, he wanted to resolve it in their own courtyard, scold Qin Han, and have her apologize to her two legitimate brothers. Qin Tan gave Qin Di a look, and Qin Di ordered people to call the Qin Yan Hou couple over.

In front of so many people, Qin Han apologized to her legitimate brothers, and the matter was put to rest.

Qin Han left crying. Qin Di doing this was also to let the second branch know that he knew about Qin He's little schemes; don't think that planting crops on Qin Tang and Qin Xun's farmland was just Qin Han's idea.

Qin Han was scolded, and although Qin He wasn't scolded, she also lost a lot of face.

It was not unknown that Qin He had instigated Qin Han to plant vegetables. ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
