Younger Brother's Wife

  They arrived at the old lady's Wanshou Hall, and Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan from the second house had already arrived. The two sisters were all dressed up with great care, and in these years, Li Shi was the host of Weiyuan Houfu's family. These two sisters have added a lot of good things, and the things on their heads are more valuable than Qingyuan's ruby hairpin.

  Qing Luan saw the situation and didn't say anything, walked up to the old lady and paid her respects.

  The old lady saw Wei Qing's outfit and had a faint smile on her face. The two ladies from the second house were dressed so elegantly, but Wei Qingyu was still okay, after all, she was about to reach adulthood. However, Wei Qingyan's outfit was really not quite right.

  The old lady nodded and said: "Now that everyone is here, let's have the meal served. After eating, we can leave early."

  The old lady hurriedly ordered the maid to serve the meal, and after everyone finished eating, they set off.

  There were four carriages in total. The old lady took Qing Luan and Wei Xin Er to sit in one, while Wei Qing Yu and Wei Qing Yuan sat in another. Wei Qing Yu had wanted to be with the old lady, but unfortunately her sister was not cooperative. When Qing Luan tried to get on the second carriage, she directly blocked her way. The old lady then ordered Qing Luan to sit with her, while Qing Yu and Qing Yuan sat together.

  The horse carriage had been traveling for about a quarter of an hour when it arrived at the Qin residence. The current Qin family was not comparable to when Old Lady Qin first got married, as the house had expanded several times over. At the second gate, Mrs. Qian, the mistress of the Qin family, stood waiting with her daughters.

  It turns out that Mrs. Qian and Old Lady Qin are sisters-in-law, and Old Lady Qin's parents passed away less than two years after she got married, so the head of the Qin family is her older brother and sister-in-law. The imperial concubine Qin Qin, who enjoys infinite honor and wealth in the palace, is actually Mrs. Qian's eldest daughter.

  "Little sister-in-law, you've finally arrived." As soon as Qin got off the carriage, Qian came up to greet her with a big smile.

  Several girls behind her came up together to pay their respects to Qin Shi. Qing Luan's mouth twitched slightly, this old lady was their grandmother, which means that the girls in front of them who were about the same age as them were all her elders.

  Behind Qin's back, four girls followed in a row. Qian's gaze swept over the few people, and these girls were all about the same age. She didn't dare to recognize them rashly, but she didn't know which one was the legitimate miss of Weiyuan Marquis' manor.

  "Sister-in-law is good." Qin Shi's complexion was light and calm, as if she had no desires or demands. As for the Qin family and the Wei family, she didn't have any expectations. At worst, she could just return to the countryside to live.

  "Alright, alright, let's go in first." Standing outside wasn't good for recognizing relatives, Qian Shi said with a smile.

  A group of people rushed to the main hall, and Qing Luan also took the opportunity to take a good look at the Qin Mansion. This Qin family was indeed not worthy of being an imperial relative, relying on a woman to rise to power, everywhere showed a hint of nouveau riche taste.

  Old Lady Qin had also been a Madame Hou, and seeing these things couldn't help but furrow her brow. In fact, families with deep roots like this one would always have some treasured items hidden away, such as medicinal pills for nourishing people, exquisite dishes, lost ancient books, antique artifacts from previous dynasties, and of course, the architectural plans for this house and courtyard were also not to be shared outside.

  After Consort Hui gained power, the Qin family bought out several neighboring households and expanded into what is now the Qin residence. Although it has become much larger, one section imitates the East House and another section imitates the West House, making the entire layout of the house chaotic and somewhat incongruous.

  Jian himself was still unknowingly and complacently introducing Qin to various courtyards.

  A group of people entered the main house, and after exchanging greetings, it was clear that the older girls in the Qin family had already married off. The remaining three were fourteen, thirteen, and only ten years old. The fourteen-year-old was named Qin Cai, the fourth daughter of the Qin family. The thirteen-year-old was named Qin Sang, the eldest granddaughter of the Qin family. And the ten-year-old Qin Bao was the fifth daughter of the Qin family and also the youngest legitimate daughter of the Qian family.
