My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Qin Liuxi’s indifferent and annoyed demeanor astonished everyone present. Since returning to the old house, although Qin Liuxi had not been very warm or close to the family, she had maintained a surface-level peace and politeness. There was a sense of mutual probing and adjustment in their interactions.

But now, Qin Liuxi had shattered this facade of peaceful politeness, tearing off a layer to reveal the underlying discontent.

This new awareness was evident from the highest to the lowest ranks within the house. The younger members were somewhat alarmed, and when they looked at the expressions of the adults, they became even more uneasy.

Troublemakers like Sister Ming Yue and her siblings wondered if Qin Liuxi had lost her mind or if someone had stepped on her tail, causing her to bare her thorns, charging recklessly and pricking anyone who came near.

Bold ones like Qin Mingchun and Qin Mingbao thought to themselves that the elder sister indeed had a domineering and arrogant presence, with commendable abilities.

Indeed, in their eyes, only those with great abilities could afford to be arrogant and domineering; those without abilities, naturally, would have to cower like quails, just like them.

Mrs. Wang cursed Mrs. Xie and the others in her mind, thinking them fools. If they couldn’t speak well, they shouldn’t come out to blindly seek attention and irritate others. Was that to their benefit?

She then glanced at Old Mrs. Qin and saw a flicker of anger on her face, her wrinkles nearly squeezing together, which gave her a headache.

"Xixi, look at you. Your younger brothers and sisters don’t know any better and might speak out of line, but as their elder sister, a few pointers from you would be considered their good fortune. Why get angry about it?" Mrs. Wang chided, "Your harsh words might just scare them off from daring to speak to you in the future."

Qin Liuxi knew that Mrs. Wang could speak eloquently, and even now, her words implicitly pointed out the ignorance of the younger siblings, yet also seemed to be smoothing things over.
