Chapter 166 Can Earn Money for the Marquis's Mansion

Qin Bi, who was used to being indifferent in the Marquis's mansion, suddenly became agitated, much to the surprise of the women.

I was even somewhat surprised.

Qin He had been used to things going smoothly all these years, but a few days ago, she lost face at the Duke of Yan's mansion because of Qin Bi. Qin He was holding her anger in and had nowhere to vent it. She was worried about being criticized and falling out with her sisters at home.

Now that Qin Bi had made the first move, Qin He was furious and even sneered.

"Sister Qin Bi." Qin Han turned to Qin He and tried to mediate, but then criticized Qin Bi: "You're going too far with your words. We're sisters, why make things so awkward?"

Qin Bi looked at Qin Han without holding back: "Your sister is Qin He, not me."

"You..." Qin Han was so angry that she blurted out, "Incomprehensible."

Others also felt that Qin Bi had gone too far. Qin Han was just trying to mediate, and Qin Bi even went so far as to criticize Qin Han. Qin Han and Qin He may have a good relationship, but didn't Qin Han run the shop with Qin He? With interests involved, it's understandable that they have a good relationship.

"I knew you were jealous of my good relationship with my sisters. Now you're not even trying to hide it?" Qin He sneered. As her sisters helped wipe the tea leaves off her face, Qin He became angrier and angrier. She pushed her sisters away and stared at Qin Bi, saying, "So what if you're the Crown Prince's wife? What are you so arrogant about? You've only been the Crown Prince's wife for a few days and you've already forgotten that you couldn't stay in the capital."

Qin He wanted to provoke Qin Bi and make her angry so that the Marquis's mansion would favor her.

Whether it's the Marquis's Mansion, the Rong King's Mansion, or the Yan State Duke's Mansion, none of them would allow Qin Bi to bully her sisters. If this reputation spread, no noble family would accept Qin Bi, saying she has no manners.

Just like how the He family treated her when she went to the Duke of Yan's mansion.

The ladies would say, "As expected of someone born out of wedlock, she has no manners at all."

To Qin He's disappointment, Qin Bi was not angry. Instead, she said to Lin, Qin Xun's wife, who was standing next to her, "Second sister-in-law, please use your handkerchief."

Lin handed the handkerchief to Qin Bi, and Qin He sneered, "You actually want me to get out? Ha, don't you even know if you have that kind of status in the Marquis's mansion? I am the pride of the family. I can earn money for the Marquis's mansion and offer advice. What can you do for the Marquis's mansion? All you do is show off with your sisters. We shouldn't have let you go back to the capital in the first place."

Qin Bi wrapped her hands in a small handkerchief. Regardless of whether touching Qin He would cause any trouble, just as Qin He finished speaking, Qin Bi slowly walked over and slapped Qin He across the face. A thousand words are not as good as a beating to make her behave.

The women gasped in surprise, each one caught off guard and looking flustered.

"Why are you resorting to violence?" the Crown Prince's wife said. "Stop."

Qin He screamed, her eyes filled with resentment: "Qin Bi, how dare you hit me?"

Qin He was furious. She wanted to provoke Qin Bi and argue with her, then go to the elders to criticize Qin Bi and make the entire Marquis's mansion despise her, just like when Qin Bi married Prince He and paved the way for her, only to be abandoned by the Marquis's mansion.

The Marquis's mansion should give up on Qin Bi, and it must give up on Qin Bi.

Qin He would not allow the sisters of the Marquis's mansion to step on her head, especially since the person was Qin Bi, whom she disliked the most.

Qin He was furious and took out her summoning artifact. There was no other way; Qin Bi was clearly not someone to be trifled with, especially given Qin Bi's imposing aura. Qin He was intimidated and had no choice but to use her summoning artifact.

"Qin He!" the Crown Prince's wife roared, "Put away the summoning artifact!"

Qin He, her eyes red, said angrily, "She hit me."

The Crown Prince's wife said in an unquestionable tone: "Then we can't use summoning artifacts."

Qin He reluctantly put away her summoning artifact and made a demand: "Qin Bi bullied the sisters in the family. She must apologize to me and Qin Han in front of everyone, or I will never agree." Qin He persisted, and the ladies in the main room came out upon hearing the commotion.

Under the shade of the trees, tables and chairs were made available, and Lady Qin Yanhou and her sisters-in-law sat down with stern faces. Qin He's younger sister ran to Cui Shi to complain: "Mother, Sister Qin Bi hit my Sister Qin He."

Cui looked at Qin Bi: "Did you do that?"

She was Qin He's legal mother and couldn't just stand by and watch Qin He get beaten.

Qin Bi didn't care: "I took it."

Cui glanced at Qin Bi, who looked disgusted, and without bothering to beat around the bush, directly said that Qin Bi was the one who hit her. It was unclear whether she was fearless or simply had a lot of confidence.

Cui Shi could not trust Qin He, this illegitimate daughter.

Qin He dared to speak recklessly in front of her, and who knows what she was showing off in front of Qin Bi. Cui Shi is not an unreasonable person, and she would never blindly favor the second daughter of a concubine.

"Why did you hit your cousin?" Cui asked.

Qin Bi could disregard Qin He, but Cui Shi could not. Cui Shi was an elder, and there was nothing she had done to wrong her. Cui Shi was far more shrewd than the second wife's legitimate daughter and was undoubtedly the matriarch of the ancient household.

The He family members remained silent, unsure of the situation and unwilling to blame anyone.

"Tell me, why did you hit Sister Qin He?" Qin He's younger sister said, "You weren't very strong just now."

The heir apparent, Qin Yan, was summoned, along with Qin Xun from the fourth branch of the family and Qin Jue from the second branch. A flower-viewing banquet was being held at the residence, and since the young ladies of the Marquis's mansion were fighting at this time, they could not be dealt with lightly.

Besides, Qin He wouldn't agree.

Qin Bi is the heir apparent's wife of the Rong Prince's mansion, and Qin He is the heir apparent's wife of the Xue Prince's mansion. Qin Yan wanted to hear what was going on. The guests were all in the garden and did not know the situation in the main courtyard.

"What are you talking about? First, are you saying Qin He is spreading rumors that I secretly gave birth to Prince He's child, or are you saying Qin He is mocking me for leaving the capital?" Qin Bi showed no emotion whatsoever. If she did, it was that she was annoyed with Qin He. She said, "Others may not know why I left the capital, but does Qin He not know? Using my leaving the capital as an excuse, isn't it only natural for me to hit Qin He?"

Lady Qin Yanhou and the others' expressions changed, and Qin Yan also frowned.

The reason Qin Bi left the capital was because Qin He stole her marriage from the Duke of Yan's family. Qin Bi couldn't stay in the capital any longer, so she left with the third branch of the family.

As for Qin Bi secretly giving birth to He Shizi's child?

The Duke of Yan's mansion was overjoyed. The He family was extremely grateful to Qin Bi. However, Qin He maliciously fabricated a story that Qin Bi had secretly given birth to the He heir's child.

Lady Qin Yan asked, "Qin He, did you say that?"

Qin He felt a little guilty, then raised her chin again: "I just asked a question, I didn't mean anything by it. People are talking about it like this, what's wrong with me asking a question out of concern?"

Qin Bi stood with Jiang Shi at this moment, a little distance away from Qin He. Qin Bi pointed at Qin He and said to Qin Xun, "Brother, you hit him."

Without saying a word, Qin Xun slapped Qin He across the face. A man's strength is not something a woman can match. Qin He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Qin Jue stepped forward: "Qin Xun, you've gone too far."

"Fourth sister-in-law," Cui said, turning to He, "I will deal with Qin He if she is wrong, but it's not right for the children of your fourth branch to beat her."
