Qian's show of goodwill

  Qing Luan saw Qin Sang, although older than Qin Bao, still politely called her "Fifth Aunt". In her heart, she thought, since she was younger, she might as well be younger, at least she could get gifts from two people of the same age, which wasn't a bad deal.

  Qin introduced the Qingluan sisters one by one, and Qian was even more enthusiastic, pulling each of them into her hands to praise them. Especially Qingluan, from her appearance to her temperament, she showed a fondness that came from the bottom of her heart.

  Qin's eyes flickered slightly as she silently sipped her tea, listening to Qian and Qing Luan's conversation.

  Actually, among the four girls, Weiqing Yu had the best complexion. She was already the oldest among them, and her facial features and figure were already well-developed. Plus, Li's family almost turned over all their treasures, that set of noble aura completely overshadowed Qinglian.

  Even Qian initially thought that Wei Qingyu was the legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis Manor, fortunately at that time she didn't go up to recognize her, otherwise this face would have been lost.

  Qing Luan smiled and endured the enthusiasm of Qian Shi, her eyes glanced at Wei Qing Yuan on the side, who had a resentful expression, while Wei Qing Yu's face was smiling, but the handkerchief in his hand was unconsciously tightened, presumably his heart was not calm either.

  The Qing Luan slightly lowered her head, hiding the cold intent at the bottom of her eyes. The two sisters from the second house were openly and secretly trying to suppress her in every way possible. Little did they know that no matter how precious the jewelry or how beautiful the clothes, they couldn't compare to the prestige of being a member of the Wei Yuan Marquis's household.

  After boasting for a while, Mr. Qian finally said to his own daughter: "You are all about the same age, go out and play, I'll have a good chat with your aunt."

  Qin Cai nodded and led Qing Luan and others out of the main hall.

  After several younger ones went out, Qin Shi finally put down the teacup in her hand and looked at her elder sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."

  Qian's smile on her face stagnated, in fact she didn't like Qin's little daughter-in-law at all. She looked cold and indifferent, and didn't think that even if Wei's family took her back, it was because of their Qi'er becoming the Empress Dowager and getting pregnant with the dragon seed.

  "An Nuan, this is the grapes that Consort Hui gave me yesterday. Try some and see how it tastes. I heard that these are tribute from a foreign land, and there are only a few baskets in the palace. The Emperor saw that Consort Hui loved to eat them, so he had his own basket moved to Yuqu Palace." Mentioning the favored eldest daughter in the palace, Qian Shi was extremely proud. Her daughter had been born with a lovely face like jade snow, and her beauty only increased with age. Since her daughter was ten years old, she had always thought of sending her into the palace. At that time, the Qin family did not have the same honor as they do now. She had almost gnashed her teeth to invite the palace's wet nurses to teach her daughter etiquette and propriety. The other wives were either coldly watching and laughing, or strangely blaming her for investing so much in a single daughter. Even her mother-in-law couldn't understand."

  Now that she has turned her life around, no one in the Qin family, including her husband, dares to show her a bad face again. After all, the person closest to Empress Hui is her mother.

  "Sister-in-law is being polite, this flavor is indeed good." Qin Shi quietly peeled a grape and put it in her mouth.

  "An Nuan, sister knows you still have resentment in your heart for being married to old Master Wei back then. However, that marriage was arranged by father-in-law, and sister is just a junior member of the family, can't go against the elders, right?" Qian Shi said with an appearance of sincerity.

  The Qin family was overjoyed when she married into the Weiyuan Marquis's household, wasn't everyone delighted? Who had ever pitied her for being a mere teenager forced to marry a man in his forties, whose sons were already older than her?

  "Anu, can you blame your elder sister?"

  Qin raised her head slightly and said, "It's not surprising."

  "This is good, Elder Sister Qian wants to get close to you this time. One stroke cannot write two Qin characters, as long as Concubine Hui is favored by the Emperor in the palace, then Wei Erlang will definitely not dare to bully you." Madam Qian felt a little relieved in her heart.
