"Qin Jue, you're the one who understands things better." Qin Xun sat down and casually shifted his gaze to Qin He, whose face was flushed. "Unlike some people, who are completely clueless and have such a big face."

Qin Xun practically pointed his finger at Qin He and started cursing, but Qin He wasn't going to take it lying down. She retorted angrily, "Cousin, don't talk so rudely."

"Oh." Qin Xun was surprised. "Am I your cousin? Aren't I some kind of terrible relative?"

Good heavens, as soon as these words were spoken, even Qin He's younger sister couldn't keep her composure.

Qin He liked to call other people's relatives "extremely difficult relatives." She said these relatives were troublesome and liked to take advantage of others. She often said this, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion knew how Qin He viewed others.

She never said it explicitly, but in any case, those she looked down on and those she didn't get along with were all considered the worst kind of relatives.

No one knows how amazing other people are, but Qin He was pretty amazing today.

Qin Tang, the eldest son of the fourth branch of the family, had no intention of letting Qin He off the hook. At this moment, Qin Tang chuckled and said, "Is it hard to say? Qin He, when you were in charge of allocating resources to the Marquis's mansion, did you allocate any to the fourth branch?"

Qin He moved her lips, but Qin Tang knew she couldn't say anything nice. He scoffed and answered his own question: "No, you've always been at odds with the fourth branch of the family, and you've never given them any. So, let me ask you, what face do you have to ask the fourth branch for the spirit vegetables they're supposed to give to the Marquis's mansion? You're such a jerk, don't you even realize how jerk you are?"

Qin Tang paused, then continued: "You're the worst kind of relative, and you still think you have a lot of influence."

"Yes, always calling others 'terrible relatives' and mocking them." Lin sneered, too lazy to even look at Qin He's face, turning her body away and not even glancing at Qin He directly: "Don't you have any self-awareness about how terrible you are?"

I never realized it before, but today I've truly seen that Qin He is an absolute gem.

The other members of the Hou family looked at each other in bewilderment. This... this... Qin He was in the wrong. It was fine that she was upright and had nothing to hide, but the problem was that Qin He had indeed done things to exclude the fourth branch of the family.

The younger ones, like Qin Yan and Qin Cui, had never thought about these things before. But now that everyone has laid it all out, they're not stupid; they can tell right away that Qin He is in the wrong.

"Oh dear." Qin Yan stood in a corner, feeling embarrassed for Qin He. She lowered her head and said to Qin Cui, "Why is Sister Qin He asking for spirit vegetables? If you want something, ask Prince He. It's better than asking the Fourth Branch. Look at what she did in the past. It's shameful. People are bringing up her past mistakes. Doesn't she have any self-awareness? I didn't even know she had done so many underhanded things before."

If you don't understand grand principles, can't you at least understand the simple things in life?
Has Qin He's illness made her lose her mind? Today she came here and got scolded by someone pointing fingers at her. The thing is, she can't say anything when she's being scolded. What can she say? She's here to ask someone for something.

Qin Yan's requests were all better than Qin He's.

Qin Yan and Qin Cui didn't do anything too outrageous, but Qin He did.

Qin He wanted to explain: "You've misunderstood me. I have no ill intentions towards the fourth branch of the family."

As a young lady of the Marquis's mansion, Qin He wanted to be a pillar of the family, so she couldn't let her reputation be hindered. If word got out that she was constantly at odds with the fourth branch of the family, how would others view her? Qin He was really worried.

Qin Lang sneered: "Do you believe that? Do you even know what a terrible relative is? You are one of them. You treat others perfectly well, but if they don't do what you want, you label them as terrible. You're shameless. You don't even know what a terrible relative is."

Qin He was annoyed and wanted to argue, but she forgot that she had only traveled through time later and had not been exposed to the teachings of ancient literati, their moral integrity, or their sense of propriety and shame. Qin He only had a superficial understanding of these concepts.

In terms of eloquence and reason, Qin He is completely outmatched.

Besides, Qin He was in the wrong. She was ridiculed and mocked and could only stammer, her face turning pale and red with anger. Qin Jue had no choice but to smooth things over, and Qin He's younger sister also became obedient.

Qin Yan didn't even bother with it; he was in the wrong, yet he came over aggressively, looking like he was there to interrogate her. It was a habit of Qin He's; she often questioned others with "Why should I?" Now, Qin Tang was questioning her back, asking, "And why do you want the spirit vegetables?"

Qin He was speechless, wanting to flee but unable to.

If she didn't leave, she would only be ridiculed and mocked, which made Qin He extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Prince Xue arrived after receiving the news. As soon as he entered the living room, he spoke kindly and apologized to Qin Tang and the others: "Qin Tang, it's all Qin He's fault. She came without knowing anything. Please don't take offense."

"Oh, it's nothing." Qin Tang, being the eldest son, remained composed and said, "As long as they don't go out and start cursing our terrible relatives, that's fine. We've been called terrible relatives for years."

Prince Xue: "..."

Xue Shizi laughed it off: "Hahaha... Qin He is a young lady from the Marquis's mansion, your own sister. You still blame her for being ignorant? You've been listening to other people's nonsense. There's no such thing as an awful relative."

"I won't bother with such a jerk." Qin Tang waved his hand. "Take her away. Forget about Ling Cai. She won't get a chance this time, and she won't get one next time either. She brought this on herself, so she has to bear the consequences."

Prince Xue blushed and stood up: "Then I'll take Qin He and leave first."

Qin Yan waved his hand: "No need to see me out."

Prince Xue didn't expect anyone to send him anything. He had really lost face today. He had no idea that Qin He, who was as gentle as an orchid, had actually done so many things to sow discord among the different branches of the household when she was in the Marquis's mansion.

Qin He glared at him resentfully before leaving with Prince Xue.

Qin Jue got up to see them off. Qin Yan and the others thought for a moment and then went to see them off as well. Since Prince Xue had come, if they were interested in marrying into the Xue family, they could get to know more noble sons.

After Qin Jue and the others left, Qin Tang said to Qin Yan, "The spirit vegetables cannot be given to the second branch of the family and Qin He."

The Crown Prince's wife was taken aback. Was she really going to hold a grudge? They were all family. Qin He had already been embarrassed today. That was enough. They had vented their anger. Why didn't they reconcile with the second branch of the family?
Qin Yan understood and nodded, "Mm."

Qin Tang and the others left the living room, followed by Madam Jiang and Madam Lin.

Qin Lang looked at the entrance of the Marquis's residence. Qin Jue and the others who had escorted Prince Xue and Qin He had not yet returned. Qin Lang said, "They are truly shameless! If it were me, I would not have the face to come here."

"She's lucky," Qin Xun sighed helplessly. "What can you do if she marries well?"

The group walked towards the fourth house.

Qin Lang separated from Qin Tang and the others, and hurriedly ran back to the third house, rushing into the study.

Qin Tan said of him, "He's so impulsive and rash, what kind of behavior is this?"

Qin Lang briefly recounted what had happened in the front yard and said worriedly, "Father, I think Qin He is holding a grudge because she was ridiculed and mocked today. My cousin Qin Tang and I are not very powerful, so we need to be careful when we go to the small space of the demon beast realm in the future."

Qin Tan narrowed her eyes: "Go talk to your sister." (End of Chapter)
