Qin He felt extremely uncomfortable with the fourth wife.

When Qin He first transmigrated, she fell in love with the two powerful ministers' sons at the Marquis's mansion.

At the time, she was just an insignificant concubine's daughter. Qin He secretly thought that once she, the transmigrated woman, showed her talent, she would surely attract the attention of two powerful princes. She could become the prince's wife or the prince's concubine.

However, when she heard that Prince He was discussing marriage with Qin Bi, Qin He was very unhappy and even secretly hoped that the marriage would not go through. Who would have thought that Prince He would actually take a liking to her and not choose Qin Bi.

Qin He was so happy that she couldn't sleep that night. She was riding high. She really was the leading lady. However, Qin He was very bothered that Prince He and Qin Bi had been engaged. She didn't say it, but she was actually very unhappy.

Naturally, Qin He was at odds with the fourth wife in every way.

If it were just the initial marriage proposal, it wouldn't be so bad. Qin He isn't such a petty person. The main problem is that later, she was affected by the fate of being cursed to be widowed and childless, and she almost died several times from vomiting blood.

Because she couldn't get married, the Duchess of Yan went to the fourth branch of the family again to propose marriage and arranged a marriage between He Shizi and Qin Bi. Later, Qin Bi broke off the engagement once and then broke it off again.

Qin He was very bothered by this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Bi was standing between her and Prince He, and Qin He felt angry every time she thought about it. Therefore, Qin He decided not to give anything that Prince He gave to the Marquis's mansion to the fourth branch of the family.

Qin He wanted to sever any connection between Prince He and Qin Bi, otherwise she would be furious. However, her willfulness was pointed out by Qin Yan in front of everyone in the Marquis's mansion today.

As the heir apparent of the Qin family, Qin Yan had no interest in fabricating stories or framing anyone in the Marquis's household. Therefore, Qin He's past treatment of the fourth branch of the family was now laid bare.

The people in the Marquis's mansion had complicated expressions, hesitant to speak. The Lady of the Heir Apparent had obviously thought that Qin He had participated in every distribution of things in the Marquis's mansion, but she never gave anything to the fourth branch of the family. Only the Heir Apparent would send some things afterward.

Today, the fourth branch of the family is showing no respect to Qin He.

This whole mess... If Qin He hadn't come looking for us, nothing would have happened, and no one would have remembered that Qin He had deliberately made things difficult for the fourth branch of the family. But since Qin He came looking for us, Qin Yan didn't try to cover it up or hide it; he let whoever was in the right speak for themselves.

"If you have ever given the Fourth Branch any benefits," Qin Yan said to the silent Qin He, "there is no reason for the Fourth Branch not to give you the spiritual vegetables. I will have the Fourth Branch make it up to you. If you have never given the Fourth Branch anything, you should not have come here."

Qin He blushed, but Qin Xun still wasn't satisfied. He found a chair, sat down, and said, "I don't remember the second branch giving anything to our fourth branch. You have to make this clear. I think Qin He's brain isn't working very well. She forgets some things just like that."

Qin Xun tapped the table with his finger, and everyone looked over. Qin Xun said, "I'm making this clear today: Qin He has never given anything to our Fourth Branch. Even if she says she has, I don't believe it. It's all baseless. Sister Qin He is good with her tongue. She says whatever is in her favor. Nobody is stupid. If you want to eat spirit vegetables, go buy them yourself. Someone may want to support you, Qin He, but our Fourth Branch will not support someone who is always making things difficult for us."

As a young lady of the Marquis's mansion, it's not good for her to constantly clash with the fourth branch of the family. Qin He also has children, and having a mother with a tarnished reputation is not good for either of them.

"I didn't," Qin He immediately retorted. "Cousin, I haven't done anything to offend you. Why are you ruining my reputation? How could I possibly have been at odds with the Fourth Branch of the family? I didn't."

Qin Lang from the third branch interjected, "I can see it all, but you still won't admit it."

Everyone in the living room fell silent. Even Prince Qin drank his tea and let Qin He explain, even if it was weak and ineffective. He had to let Qin He explain, after all, she was the Princess Consort of the Prince Xue's Mansion! Her status was not low.

Ah, Qin Yan is drinking tea.

Qin He has been at odds with the fourth branch of the family for a long time, and it's time for them to vent their anger.

Now, Qin Bi's position as the Crown Princess of Rong is secure in the Rong Prince's residence. The younger generation in the Qin Yan Marquis's residence may not understand this, but Qin Yan knows it clearly. Qin He is also a Crown Princess, but the Xue Prince's residence is not on the same level as the Rong Prince's residence. Logically speaking, the Marquis's residence should be very happy to have two Crown Princesses.

However, the second and fourth wives did not get along.

Qin He has always been the one stirring up trouble. If Qin He were smart, she would remember her little trick of not sharing things with the fourth branch of the family back then, and today she should pretend not to know that the second branch of the family was not entitled to any of the spirit-sharing dishes.

However, Qin He has a very strong personality and cannot tolerate the slightest grievance.

Since they've come looking for us, Qin Yan won't stop them. Let whoever is in the right argue with us.

"They just don't want to share my spiritual vegetables," Qin He said. "Is it worth bringing up such trivial matters?"

Qin He's implication was that others were petty and narrow-minded.

Qin Tang narrowed his eyes, and Qin Lang struck first: "Heh, of course you won't mention it. Back then, when things were being divided, you always bypassed the fourth branch and didn't take anything. Now you want other people's things. How can you be so shameless?"

When Madam Jiang and Madam Lin arrived, Madam Jiang stepped into the living room. The servant had already run to the fourth household to tell Madam Jiang and Madam Lin what was going on, so they knew the situation.

"Qin He, what did you mean by what you said before I came?" Jiang questioned, "Does the things of the Rong Prince's Mansion have nothing to do with our Fourth Branch? You even call yourself a talented woman. How dare you call yourself a talented woman? You're completely nonsensical. If the Rong Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with our Fourth Branch, does that mean it has nothing to do with your Second Branch? Why do you keep thinking such absurd things?"

Madam Lin also said, "Whatever Prince He gives you, you can decide how to do it as you please, it's none of our business. But what Prince Rong gives you belongs to our family. If you didn't give us yours, then we won't give you ours."

Qin He's face flushed red, and her younger sister said, "You're bullying me."

Qin He's younger sister looked at Qin Jue, and Qin Tang and Qin Xun also looked at Qin Jue.

"Qin Jue," Qin Tang asked, "Does your second branch of the family have the nerve to ask for spirit vegetables?"

Qin Jue was mortified. Qin Lang added, "It would have been better to pretend you didn't know. That's how our relationship is. It was already strained when Sister Qin Bi got married. You're acting like you want everything."

Well, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Qin Yanhou mansion avoided eye contact, feeling embarrassed for Qin He.

Qin He's face turned pale, and she was speechless. Qin Xun just scoffed. Where was his usual righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor? Keep pretending. If Qin He dared to utter a word today, he, Qin Xun, wouldn't mind roasting her to death.

Qin He caused trouble, so Qin Jue had to step in and clean up the mess: "There aren't many spiritual vegetables to begin with, so there's no need to divide them into two households."

Let's not even mention Qin He anymore; if we do, the fourth branch of the family will definitely not be polite.

It's the fourth branch's property. In the past, you had things but didn't share them with them, which was fine. Now you come to ask for things back and don't even admit they're the fourth branch's spiritual vegetables, insisting they're from the Rongwang Mansion.

Damn it, Qin Jue covered his face, this is so unreasonable.

How could Qin He possibly say that? (End of Chapter)
