Qin Mingxuan brought his daughter and Yu Shen into the room. In the room, Ji Wanran was sitting on the bed, Qin Qingyan was holding a glass of water and feeding Ji Wanran, Xinnan was standing by the bed in a daze, with her head drooping.

Hearing the noise of three people entering the room, Xin Nan immediately rushed over, hugged Qin Mingxuan's legs and said: "Daddy, Mom fainted today, Nan'er is scared!"

Qin Mingxuan patted his son's head and comforted him softly: "Daddy, sister, and brother are all back, don't be afraid."

Ji Wanran raised her eyes and saw the three of them, and her emotions immediately became excited again. Ji Wanran slapped the bed with her palm and said sternly: "Xinhe, why don't you kneel down!"

Mother had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone. She always used to call her "Nannan" with a soft smile. But today's harsh tone stunned Xinhe.

She held the medicine bowl and stared at Ji Wanran blankly, then looked up at her father beside her with a confused look. Ji Wanran became even angrier when she saw Xin He standing there blankly: "Why, you, the princess appointed by the queen, don't even listen to your mother's words? Do you want me to pay respects to you, the princess?"

This was even more unpleasant to hear. Qin Mingxuan's face darkened: "Madam, what are you doing?" Ji Wanran sneered: "You ask me what I do? Why don't you ask what your good daughter did?"

Qin Qingyan quickly stood up and patted Ji Wanran on the back, saying softly, "Don't be angry, mother. The palace doctor has told you not to get angry again."

As she spoke, Qin Qingyan began to cry softly again: "It's all my fault. I have annoyed the Empress and made mother angry. It's all my fault. Mother, please take care of yourself and don't be angry because of me. My sister..."

Her hesitation and crying made Ji Wanran even angrier, but Xinhe was a little puzzled. She looked at the medicine bowl in her hand, took a few steps forward, and handed the medicine to Ji Wanran: "Mother, if Xin'er did something wrong, mother will only punish her. Don't let your daughter's anger ruin your health. Mother should drink the medicine first."

At this moment, Ji Wanran was filled with rage. Seeing the medicine bowl in front of her, she waved her hand and slapped the medicine bowl out of Xinhe's hand. The medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

The spilled medicine fell on Xinhe's hand. Xinhe couldn't help but hissed. Qin Mingxuan screamed, "Madam, you!" Before he could go forward to check Xinhe's injuries, Yu Shen beside him had already rushed to Xinhe's side, grabbed Xinhe's hand and looked down to check, "How is it, are you hurt?"

The fat boy Xin Nan was also startled. He rushed over and hugged Xin He's legs, asking repeatedly: "Sister, sister, are you burned? Blow it and it won't hurt."

Xinhe shook her head: "Nan'er, don't be afraid, Brother Shen, I'm fine." Xinhe didn't look at Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran. She lowered her head and let Yu Shen take out a handkerchief to wipe the medicine off her hands.

Qingyan watched Yu Shen wiping Xinhe's hands with such concern, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she clenched her teeth secretly. Humph, this sister is always good at acting like a spoiled child. Yu Shen is always indifferent to her. It must be the sister's clever words that instigated him.

You are not the only one who can stir up trouble in this world. It all depends on how you get past your mother. Just now, the Queen actually sent someone to reprimand her in public, making her lose face. Qingyan was filled with hatred.

As soon as the Queen's people left, Qingyan threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears, saying that her sister had just entered the palace and the Queen sent people to reprimand her right after that. It must be that her sister said bad things about her in front of the Queen.

She knew that her mother was a person who attached great importance to her reputation. Today, the Queen Mother was so disrespectful to the Qin family. Such a reprimand would only make her mother feel ashamed and embarrassed.

I cried and put all the blame on Xinhe, so my mother naturally took out all her anger on Xinhe.

Ji Wanran was shocked when she saw that she had slammed the medicine bowl away and actually scalded Xinhe. She was about to get up to check Xinhe's injuries when she saw Qin Mingxuan and Yu Shen both rushing to Xinhe, surrounding her and asking about her health.

I thought about how my eldest daughter had just thrown herself into my arms and cried, saying that her father and Brother Shen only liked my younger sister, and even my younger brother Nan'er only liked to play with my younger sister and kept his distance from me. Even Brother Shen never said a word to me and was extremely cold.

Thinking of this, Ji Wanran's anger rose again. She stopped trying to get up and just looked at the three of them coldly without saying a word.

Qin Mingxuan was relieved when he saw that his daughter's hand was fine. He turned around, waved his sleeves, and dismissed the servants in the room. He turned to Ji Wanran and said, "Madam, why did you treat Xinhe like this?"

Ji Wanran looked at her husband's ugly face and became even more angry: "You only care about Xinhe. Do you know how much Yan'er has been wronged today? How can the capital see our daughter?"

She took Qingyan's hand and said with great pity: "Our Yan'er was already looked down upon by the noble ladies in the capital because of what happened in the past. During this period of time, the noble ladies in the capital finally knew the good qualities of our Yan'er, but in the end, it was ruined by the queen's admonition."

Qin Mingxuan hurriedly stopped her: "Madam, please be careful with your words. How can you be dissatisfied with the Queen's admonition? You are being disrespectful!"

Ji Wanran also realized that she shouldn't complain so loudly to the Queen, and immediately pointed at Xin He and said, "She is your good daughter. As soon as she entered the palace, the Queen reprimanded her. If she wasn't the one who filed the complaint, then who was saying bad things about Yan'er in front of the Queen?"

Yu Shen bowed to Ji Wanran and said, "Master's wife, Shen'er has been in the palace today. Shen'er can testify that before Xin'er entered the palace, the aunt beside the Queen had already left the palace according to the imperial decree. It was not Xin'er who reported it."

Ji Wanran was choked by Yu Shen's words, but immediately said, "Just because she didn't complain today doesn't mean she didn't complain to the queen on weekdays. Otherwise, how would the queen know about these things outside when she lives in the deep palace? She has wronged my Yan'er for nothing."

Qingyan took the opportunity to cry again: "Don't be angry, mother. Yan'er knows that she was born in the countryside and is not highly regarded by the queen. It's all Yan'er's bad luck, not my sister's fault. I believe my sister will not do this."

Ji Wanran looked at her eldest daughter, and remembered how ashamed she was when she was reprimanded just now. She felt even more pity for her and looked up at Xin He: "Xin'er, you grew up with your parents, but your sister suffered in the countryside. It's not easy for her to return to her mother, so naturally she has to take better care of her. You have always been a sensible child, but why can't you tolerate your sister? Can't you just stand that your parents treat your sister better?"

Xin He raised her head and looked at her mother who was angrily accusing her, but her hands were still constantly comforting her sister who was crying. She suddenly felt very sad.
