"Drink the medicine."

A gentle male voice came from outside, and then two people opened the curtain and entered the room. The leader was a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young man walked straight towards Qingsong and his companions with the medicine in his hand, and Xiang Ling hurriedly followed.

"You guys, drink the medicine while it's hot."

What is said cannot be questioned.

Qingsong and the others obediently took the bowls and drank the medicine in one gulp without stopping.

After drinking it, everyone's faces wrinkled up, it was really too bitter.

"Wouldn't it be more bitter if you drank it this way?"

The boy stared at the barley and motioned her to drink it quickly.

What Qingke feared most since he was a child was taking medicine. He would always vomit out half of it.

"Big sister is only inferior to me when she takes medicine, so I am not afraid of hardship."

Qingning came over and teased Qingke.

Qingke felt a little embarrassed when she saw her younger sister embarrassing her in front of outsiders.

He made up his mind, closed his eyes, pinched his nose and swallowed half a bowl of medicine.

"Ugh~"

Xiang Ling just picked up the spittoon, but saw the young man quickly stuffed a candied fruit into Qingke's mouth, and then Qingke covered his mouth with his hands, suppressing his nausea and taking the medicine.

"Brother Qin, you are amazing! You are indeed a doctor, and you always carry candied fruits with you."

Qingning said it unintentionally, but it sounded different to others.

Suddenly, several eyes in the room looked at Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng felt uncomfortable being stared at.

He explained, "It's just that they taste good, so I carry some with me. Occasionally, when a patient can't stand bitter food, I give one to them."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Jiang Zhao's voice in the yard, which seemed urgent.

"Grandma, Auntie, please come quickly, the two girls next door are arguing."

When Mrs. Tan heard this, she immediately lifted the curtain and left the room.

"What happened? Who quarreled with whom? What was it about?"

Jiang Zhao panted and said, "Miss Meng San and Miss Xu had a quarrel."

Ming Miaoren remained calm and asked, "What are they arguing about?"

"I don't know either. It seems to be for a puppet."

Ji Jiangzhao couldn't explain what was going on, so they went to the next door together.

Qing Ning heard the puppet doll and wondered if it was the one she gave to the second daughter of the Xu family, so she followed behind.

When they arrived, the girls were glaring at each other.

"What's going on? Why are you arguing?"

Zhou stepped forward and stood between the group of people.

Seeing someone coming, several people bowed.

Then Xu Wuyou heard, "This Third Miss Meng is so overbearing. Seeing Second Sister holding the doll, she came up and asked Second Sister to give it to her. This was Qing Ning's gift to Second Sister to cheer her up. Second Sister really likes it, so naturally she was reluctant. But Third Miss Meng acted like a noble lady in the palace and told Second Sister to kneel down and give it to her, or she would punish us for disrespect."

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever say I was going to punish you? I just liked it and wanted to take a look."

Meng San said anxiously.

Xu Wuyou said calmly, "Just because you like someone, you want to take it by force, regardless of whether it's owned or not? If someone hasn't been forced to do so, you're using your status to pressure them?"

"Who told her not to give it to me? Besides, I'm the daughter of a royal family. What's wrong with that?"

Zhou frowned and looked at her, wondering how Prince Fu could raise such a spoiled child.

But she still said in a gentle manner: "Miss Meng San, you are the daughter of a royal family, but you can't be so casual. Besides, this item originally belongs to Madam Xu Er. Even if you like it, you still need to ask her and get her consent. If she doesn't agree, why force it?"

"Yes, Miss Meng San. Madam Xu Er is not in good health to begin with, so it's not a good idea to get angry with her."

Tan advised from the side.

Meng San, however, felt extremely aggrieved. He held his head high and said, "I just wanted to come and see who told her not to give it to me. You're all in the same group, you all think she's good. What's wrong with me?"

Normally, her parents would give her whatever she wanted, and her brothers and sisters would also give in to her. She had never been rejected like this before.

"Hello, ladies."

Meng Yuanjun and Meng Yuanhua went out to look for their two brothers, but before they were halfway there, they were called back by Xiang Ling, who said that the third girl had had an argument with someone.

"What are you doing again?"

Meng Yuanjun was really annoyed and looked at Meng San with a stern look.

When Meng San saw that her eldest and second sisters came to question her and didn't care about her at all, she burst into tears.

She complained, "Are you still my sisters? You come here and you say I'm making trouble. How did I make trouble? It's obviously their fault. What does it have to do with me?"

Meng Yuanjun sighed, and Meng Yuanhua bowed to the crowd, "Excuse me, everyone, what is the cause of this dispute?"

Just as Xu Wuyou was about to speak, Ming Miaoren stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Meng Er, it's not a big deal. It's just two girls arguing over a doll."

Meng Yuanhua looked at Ming Miaoren, then looked at Xu Wubing who was sitting beside her, protecting the baby tightly.

He immediately understood a little and said, "Even if it's just a quarrel between children, there's still a right and wrong. My third sister is usually spoiled at home, and I think her words and actions may have offended Second Miss Xu. I apologize to Second Miss Xu on my sister's behalf. I hope Second Miss Xu will forgive me."

Xu Wubing's face turned pale as he said softly, "It's nothing serious."

"Why did Second Sister apologize? What's wrong with me? I just took a fancy to the doll in her hand and wanted to see what was wrong with it."

Meng San just wouldn't accept it. She didn't have anything she wanted on a daily basis, so what was wrong with wanting something from a merchant girl?

"Besides, she's just a merchant girl, how dare she~"

"Enough!" Meng Yuanjun shouted when he saw that she was getting more and more outrageous.

The young lady from the palace, and the eldest daughter, was so terrifying when she acted in a dignified manner.

When Meng San saw his elder sister like this, he immediately wilted.

Meng Yuanjun bowed solemnly to the few people and apologized.

Then he took Meng San into the inner courtyard and closed the door. "Kneel down."

"Eldest sister" Meng San was dissatisfied, but she did not dare to disobey.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"I'm not wrong. I just want to see why she doesn't give it to me."

"Why not? Yuen Wah, go tell her."

Meng Yuanjun really didn't want to waste time arguing with her.

Meng Yuanhua said, "Third sister, no matter how arrogant you are in the palace, that's only within the palace. Once you go out, you are the third lady of the palace. You represent the face of our Fuwang Mansion and the reputation of us sisters."

"That doll belongs to Miss Xu Er. If it's hers, she doesn't have to give it to her if she doesn't want it. But can you take it by force just because she doesn't want it? Are you a bandit?"

"Besides, what if she's a merchant's daughter? Even though you were born into a royal family, you don't hold any rank. Does your noble birth give you a reason to bully others? If my father and mother knew you were behaving this way out there, I'm afraid you'd be in big trouble when you return home."

Meng San was still dissatisfied. "I just want to take a look. I don't want hers. Isn't it enough for her to just take a look at me?"

"Look, if you were humble and tolerant, would Miss Xu refuse to give it to you? It must be because you were so unreasonable that you angered her."

It has to be said that they understand her best.

"I just said I wanted to take a look, but she protected it so closely that I felt a little dissatisfied." Meng San argued in a low voice.

"Hmph, I don't know your temper. Meng Yuanjin, I'm going to tell you this one last time. If you listen, fine. If not, I'll have someone send you back."

Meng San became anxious when she heard this, but Meng Yuanjun ignored her.

"You're not a child anymore, yet you can't even begin to understand your father's painstaking efforts. I don't ask for anything else from you, I just ask that you control your temper and get along well with others. If you can't help it, just shut up. Don't underestimate the Xu and Chen families. They're not ordinary people to have come this far."

"Go and apologize to the Second Lady of the Xu family later, and the matter will be over. If you don't want to, I will send someone to send you back now."

Meng San looked at his elder sister like this, and it didn't seem like she was pretending. Although he was reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey and just agreed.

Meng Yuanjun was really helpless. Since his father went back, his sister had not had a single day of rest.

Others don't bother with her, perhaps because of the status of Prince Fu's Mansion, but if they really do, she will be the one who suffers.
