The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Qin Wanying returned to the Marquis's residence.

When her family saw her, they all greeted her warmly.

Especially her mother, after seeing Qin Wanying, it was as if she hadn't seen her for a year.

My daughter finally came home, and before I could even properly cherish her, I was out for the whole day.

As for Yang Xiurong's parents and Qin Yezhong's parents, the couple had already discussed it and would notify them in a few days.

The elderly people on both sides were very worried about the lost Wan Ying. If they knew Wan Ying had returned, they were afraid they would snatch her away. They hadn't had enough of her yet!

Qin Wanying looked around and saw that her fifth brother had not yet returned.

I decided to first share the clothes I bought with my parents and two older brothers.

Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Qin Wanying had bought them clothes, and they thought to themselves how sensible their daughter/little sister was, knowing to think of her family even after earning money.

According to the custom of the household, he kept a portion of the money he earned and gave the rest to his mother for the household's daily expenses.

Yang Xiurong was very pleased to see how sensible her daughter was.

After Qin Wanying finished her series of tasks, Yang Xiurong pulled her aside for a chat, sharing her experiences of the day.

Yang Xiurong looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.

I can never get tired of looking at my daughter. I always want to hear her talk, and I miss her if I don't see her for a day.

Knowing her mother's intentions, Qin Wanying told her mother everything she had seen and done that day, and even tried to make Yang Xiurong laugh.

Not long after, the fifth brother, Qin Rufeng, returned.

The whole family was very happy. Qin Rufeng had gone out to relax after taking the imperial examination and had been gone for many days. His family missed him very much.

Qin Wanying stood up and looked at the person who came in.

This person was tall and slender, wearing a light blue robe, with fair skin, handsome features, and a refined and noble demeanor.

Qin Yezhong looked at Qin Rufeng and happily introduced Qin Wanying to him.

“Ru Feng, come and see, this is your little sister Wan Ying.”

Qin Rufeng had already heard about his little sister's return while he was outside. Therefore, he walked quickly, wanting to come in and see his sister as soon as possible.

Qin Wanying bowed and said, "Little sister greets Fifth Brother."

Qin Rufeng bowed and said, "Little sister, please don't stand on ceremony. I didn't know you were coming back and couldn't greet you at home. I'm sorry for being so impolite."

[Is this my fifth brother, the top student? He's indeed humble and polite, just like the description in the book.]

Qin Rufeng was startled. Who was speaking?

The voice sounds like my younger sister's. But she clearly didn't open her mouth just now!

What does "academic superstar" mean? He didn't understand.

But he knew the term "top scholar." Could it be that he was destined to become the top scholar?

And what does "just like the description in the book" mean? Does she mean she is a character in a storybook?

The other family members were also very surprised.

Can Confucianism lead to becoming a top scholar in the imperial examinations?

The Confucian scholars have always been good at academics, but neither the Qin family nor the Yang family has ever produced a top-ranking scholar.

I originally thought that getting a second-class ranking in the Confucianism exam would be quite good.

I never expected that he would become the top scholar in the imperial examination?

This is truly a blessing for the Qin family, and a blessing for my Marquis's mansion!

The family watched Qin Rufeng's stunned expression, fearing that their younger sister might notice something amiss.

His father, mother, elder brother, and younger brother were all giving Qin Rufeng meaningful glances.

Qin Rufeng was no fool for passing the imperial examination with top honors; he immediately understood the situation but pretended not to notice.

"I only found out that my little sister was returning today while I was out. I didn't prepare a gift for her, so please don't take offense," Qin Rufeng said gently.

My younger sister was lost when she was young, and she finally came back. As her older brother, I should take good care of her. However, when she came back, I wasn't there and hadn't prepared any gifts, which was indeed impolite.

I need to give my little sister a big gift another day.

Fifth Brother is so polite! I love Fifth Brother!

Hearing his younger sister praise him in her heart, Qin Rufeng blushed slightly. He liked her even more.

Qin Wanying exchanged a few polite words.

The eldest brother, Qin Xingyuan, called Qin Rufeng aside and briefly told him about how only family members could hear their younger sister's thoughts, her precognitive abilities, and the tragic fate of the Marquis's mansion.

Qin Rufeng broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

These words were too absurd to believe; if his sixth brother had said them to him, he certainly wouldn't have believed them.

But since the words came from the eldest brother, who never joked, and since he had indeed heard his younger sister's true feelings, he believed her.

Was the Marquis's family really destined for such a tragic end?

I am determined to work together with the Marquis's family to change their tragic fate.

The family began their evening meal.

Qin Wanying suddenly remembered her fifth brother Qin Rufeng's fate in the book, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

Fifth Brother was a devoted lover. Although many noble ladies were interested in him, he was only devoted to one woman: her classmate from the Imperial Academy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Rufeng's hand, which was picking up food, paused for a moment, and he froze.

However, he didn't stay stiff for long before returning to normal, his expression returning to normal, except that his ears were slightly red.

Qin Rufeng was a shy person. Hearing his younger sister's thoughts, he secretly thought to himself: Little sister, don't mess with me! Even the family doesn't know I like Ying'er, and you've let it all out!

For a fleeting moment, everyone's expression turned strange, but they quickly returned to normal.

What? Ru Feng, who seems so serious, actually has a girl he likes?

Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Several people frantically wondered to themselves, "Which Imperial Academy classmate is she? Little sister, say a few more words!"

Qin Rufeng thought to himself: Little sister, please don't say anything!

[It was Liu Ying, the daughter of a sixth-rank official, a mid-level pastoral supervisor. He and Liu Ying had long been sworn lovers.]

Qin Rufeng thought to himself: It's over. He felt like he was about to shatter.

The reason he hadn't told his family was because Liu Ying came from a humble background. The daughter of a sixth-rank official shepherd was not a suitable match for his status as the legitimate son of a marquis. He feared his parents' disapproval and wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell them, but his younger sister had already revealed his feelings.

Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong looked slightly displeased.

No wonder Ru Feng never told his family. It turns out he was just the daughter of a sixth-rank official, a mid-level pastoral supervisor.

Qin Xiaoyan looked slightly excited.

Fifth Brother, I never would have guessed! The usually most honest one was secretly exchanging sweet nothings with a girl behind our parents' backs!

A role model for us all! A role model for us all!

In this era, social standing and family background are paramount in marriage. Fifth Brother was afraid that Father and Mother would disapprove, which is why he didn't tell them.

However, Fifth Brother is quite a contrast. On the surface, he's refined and well-behaved, but in reality, he's done quite a few crazy things for Liu Ying.

Qin Rufeng was completely broken. He silently held his rice bowl, waiting for his younger sister's "judgment".

The other family members sat up straight, not even panting. Ru Feng had actually done quite a few crazy things?

What on earth happened?!
