Chapter 562: Wanting It

~8 min read 1,525 words

"Is there a problem?" Qin Bi asked, puzzled.

After a slight pause, Qin Bi said: "Brother and Qin Lang came to pick me up, and it was agreed upon early this morning."

They just didn't tell you, Qin Han.

The Fourth Branch was clear about Qin Bi coming today; it had been discussed, and they went to pick up Qin Bi early in the morning. Heir Rong was also aware; Qin Tang had discussed it with Heir Rong, only Qin Han didn't know.

Qin Di and his wife were aware, and Lady Jiang and Lady Lin also knew that Qin Bi was coming early today.

It was just that Qin Bi hadn't expected Qin Xun and Qin Lang to pick her up so early, and Qin Han was completely in the dark. Who would specifically tell her when Qin Bi was coming to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor? It wasn't necessary.

Qin Han: "..."

She felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if she, the concubine-born daughter raised by Lady He's side, were a step further away.

Qin Han put away the complex emotions in her heart and said with a smile: "I was just asking, wondering why you came so early, no other meaning. In previous years, Qin He always came earlier."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Han regretted it to death.

Why mention Qin He at the Fourth Branch? Everyone was dissatisfied with Qin He, and they were all dissatisfied with Qin He because of Qin Bi. In Qin Han's view, why bother? Why fall out with Qin He over this?

Qin He could earn silver! Would one suffer a loss by currying favor with Qin He?

Qin Bi smiled: "Is only Qin He allowed to come early?"

Qin Han wiped the smile from her face: "I didn't say that. We are sisters, why bother calculating these things?"

"When it should be calculated, it must be calculated." Qin Bi didn't set traps for people, but if someone had little schemes, she would be embarrassed. Qin Bi continued to smile: "Qin He comes early every year, and her luck is also good. We are all married daughters, so we have to compete for this good luck."

Qin Han's gaze froze. If Qin Bi hadn't competed, Qin Han wouldn't have taken coming early to her maiden home to heart. With Qin Bi competing like this, Qin Han took it to heart. Regardless of whether coming early brought good luck, coming early didn't mean suffering any loss.

However, she hadn't grabbed the opportunity. If she had known, she would have come early.

Qin Han called the maid to bring over a full set of soaps, one for each concubine-born son and daughter. Whatever color soap you were given, that was the color you got; the concubine-born sons and daughters all got them for free.

Therefore, they weren't allowed to choose the soap.

Lady He got a full set of soaps, three pieces.

Lady Jiang and Lady Lin also got a full set, only the soaps weren't as high-end as Lady He's.

"Mine smells good, and the color is also nice." The concubine-born daughter sniffed it with a smile, liking it in her heart: "Lemon-colored, the scent is light and elegant. Sister Qin He is so amazing, no wonder the shop makes money. Last time, this color wasn't available."

Qin Bi took a look; it was indeed nice. Usually, she liked using soap of this color.

Lady Jiang and Lady Lin also liked them very much. Qin Han found it awkward to distribute them to others but not Qin Bi, but Heir Rong had a share in the soap shop, and the Rong Prince Manor also had its own soap shop.

"Does Sister Qin Bi want soap?" Qin Han asked.

If you listened to this question, it was just asking, not wanting to actually give any. Qin Bi naturally didn't care for it: "No need."

Qin Han didn't give any to Qin Bi and went to find Jiang Mo.

In the living room, Heir Rong, Qin Di, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun were all chatting. Qin Lang was holding Rong Yang; the two had a great relationship and were talking with smiles on their faces.

Qin Han took the soap, and Jiang Mo stood up to distribute them to Qin Di and the others, and also gave one to Qin Lang.

Qin Lang accepted it, not caring much for it; his sister Qin Bi would give him some, but since Jiang Mo gave it, there was no reason not to accept it. If someone gave you something, refusing it would be a slap in the face.

Heir Rong had a shop, so there was no need to give him any, and Heir Rong's status meant he didn't care for it either.

The little milk bun Rong Chi, however, couldn't stand seeing things being distributed. He waved his little hands, very actively: "Mine."

The little milk bun was very observant; everyone had one, even the maternal grandmother and the aunts had soap, so he should have one too. Jiang Mo smiled and handed one to the little milk bun.

Heir Rong said: "He doesn't want it."

"Want it." The little milk bun said.

Heir Rong: "..."

Jiang Mo didn't know whether to give it or not.

Qin Bi walked over and spoke: "No need to give it to him. The child is still young and will think it's food. You can't give him soap."

The little milk bun wouldn't have it, feeling wronged: "Not stupid."

Qin Bi: "..."

Qin Di and the others: "..."

After understanding, they couldn't help but laugh.

Heir Rong also felt it was funny and coaxed the little milk bun: "You're not stupid."

"So cute." Qin Han was also amused and called the maid over: "Give Rong Chi a set of soaps."

Jiang Mo, however, stopped her. Qin Bi had already warned that soap couldn't be given to the child. Qin Han glanced at Jiang Mo and didn't give the soap to the little milk bun. Qin Bi gave Rong Chi a small sweet radish candy, and the little guy didn't want the free soap anymore.

Qin Xiang came to invite them, and Heir Rong, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun went to the front courtyard.

Heir Rong only held the little milk bun Rong Chi; Rong Yang and Qin Lang stayed at the Fourth Branch to play and didn't go to the front courtyard. When Qin He saw that Heir Rong only brought the little milk bun Rong Chi, her eyes flashed.

"Fubao." Qin He called Fubao and pointed at the little milk bun Rong Chi: "Go play with your little brother."

Heir Rong held the child and just sat down, talking with the Heir of Qin.

Fubao ran over: "Little Brother Rong Chi, I'll play with you."

The little milk bun tilted his head: "Begging for favors."

Fubao blinked her eyes, thinking she had misheard. What begging for favors? The little milk bun was small, and his speech wasn't clear. He He Shizi of Qin also thought he had misheard; it was out of the blue, how could the little milk bun blurt out "begging for favors"?

Heir Rong, however, knew what Rong Chi meant. Children thought differently. Fubao went to the Yan Guogong Manor to take things and ask for things, all as a matter of course; she considered herself the legitimate young lady of the Yan Guogong Manor.

However, in the eyes of the little milk bun Rong Chi, Fubao was just going to the Yan Guogong Manor to beg for favors.

"What did you say?" Fubao asked.

The little milk bun immediately covered his small storage bag, worried that Fubao would ask for things.

Heir Rong said: "Rong Chi has no older sister, only one older brother."

Everyone didn't think much of it. Heir Rong was opening a shop with Qin He, and the two manors usually interacted. In front of Heir Rong, Qin He also had some face and wouldn't be slapped in the face.

"Fubao is a cousin." Heir Xue chimed in.

Heir Rong's expression was faint. The little milk bun Rong Chi took a small sweet radish candy from his storage bag and put it in his mouth to eat. Fubao tilted her head, looking at the nice-colored small sweet radish candy.

"What are you eating?" Fubao asked.

The little milk bun shook his head: "Not delicious."

Fubao reached out: "Let me taste."

The little milk bun's small mouth was bulging, eating the small sweet radish candy: "Gone."

Heir Rong said to Heir Xue and the Heir of Qin: "Fubao's upbringing needs to be put on the agenda."

Fubao was Heir Xue's child, and the Heir of Qin was Fubao's uncle. Heir Rong didn't mean anything else; looking at the child Qin He raised, Heir Rong didn't point out that Fubao was gluttonous.

Everyone had eyes; Fubao's upbringing was truly not presentable.

Heir Xue's face turned red instantly. Fubao's upbringing was not something just one person said was not good.

Being pointed out by Heir Rong in public, everyone lost face. ===== CHAPTER 563 =====
