Chapter 101: Are They That Delicate?

~8 min read 1,559 words

Qin Bi didn't interfere in matters between the monarch and his subjects.

The next day, Qin Bi took two baskets of flowered and cracked crisp, sweet red radishes and one basket of good ones, preparing to go to the Qin Yan Hou Manor. Rong Yang saw this and indicated he wanted to go too, so Qin Bi took him along.

Rong Juan dropped his book in the study, stepped out, and got into the carriage.

"I'll accompany you." Rong Juan said.

Qin He had the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and Rong Juan was worried.

Rong Juan still didn't understand how Qin Bi had used battle Qi to kill the Xian Sect people, but that was fine. He had a fate of harming his wife and having no children; if it were within the Heavenly Dao, he was destined to have no offspring for a lifetime.

The Heavenly Dao was negligent, allowing him to have a child, so Rong Juan naturally had to hold on tight.

"You might as well go to the palace." Qin Bi rarely stood on ceremony and arranged: "The Xian Sect has great powers; I'm afraid they won't let it go after a few disciples died. If they find the palace, you can mediate."

Rong Juan thought that was fine; the Xian Sect people were not easy to deal with.

"I'll send you to the Qin Yan Hou Manor first." Rong Juan picked up Rong Yang.

Qin Bi was uncomfortable in the carriage, so Rong Juan reached out and hugged her. Rong Yang leaned against Qin Bi: "Mother, why give the secondary crisp, sweet red radishes to Grandfather's house? Shouldn't we give the good ones?"

"We don't stand on ceremony with our own family." Qin Bi smiled and added: "I gave a basket of good ones."

Rong Yang nodded, took out a sweet, crisp red radish to play with, crunching away. It was sweet. Rong Yang was held by his father and talked to Qin Bi, the whole child full of joy.

Qin Tang came out of the manor to meet them, followed by a few illegitimate sons of the third and fourth branches.

"Has the one who likes to affect her pregnancy not returned?" Qin Bi asked as she entered the manor gate.

Qin Tang was stunned, Rong Juan glanced at Qin Bi, and the illegitimate sons didn't come to their senses for a moment. After thinking about it, oh, they understood; she was talking about Qin He, who affected her pregnancy at every turn.

"She didn't come," an illegitimate son of the third branch replied.

Qin Bi's steps became much lighter, and Rong Juan's pace was steady as he said: "You dislike your cousin that much?"

Qin Tang was worried Qin Bi would answer inappropriately and annoy Rong Juan, but only heard Qin Bi say: "There are too many things happening. Wherever she is, problems arise. I like quiet and don't like too much noise."

After a pause, Qin Bi added: "Is it only her pregnancy that's affected? I'm afraid others are affected too."

Rong Juan's heart tightened, pondering that it was better for Qin Bi to stay far away from Qin He. Some people were destined to have a life that was never clean, and there were always such and such things happening around them.

He protected Qin Bi like the apple of his eye and couldn't afford any mistakes.

As they talked, the group arrived at the fourth branch's main courtyard.

He Shi and Zhu Di were waiting. Rong Juan sat for a while before getting up to leave for the palace. Once Rong Juan left, the people of the third and fourth branches became active; Rong Juan's status was too noble and his momentum too aggressive.

"Were you uncomfortable when you went back?" He Shi asked.

"No." Qin Bi smiled.

He Shi reached out to Rong Yang: "Come to Grandmother."

Rong Yang got off the stool and walked unsteadily over. Qin Lang picked him up and put him in He Shi's arms. He Shi looked at the child. This was He Yan's child, the He family's child; no matter how she looked at him, he was rare.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"That illegitimate daughter of the second branch doesn't have this constitution." He Shi gave the child a handful of melon seeds and said to Qin Bi: "Her pregnancy was affected as soon as she went back, and my nephew, the Heir, went to the Beast Realm small space again."

Who hadn't been pregnant? There were few as delicate as Qin He.

Oh, when Qin Bi was pregnant with Rong Yang, she had indeed used up all the hereditary foundation of the Rong Prince Manor, but Qin Bi's life span had been damaged; the situation was different. Qin He was headache-prone just from blowing in the wind.

Was the Xue family's child that delicate?

He Shi sneered. Xue Qing didn't have a fate of having few offspring. The Xian Sect's diviner had long ago calculated Xue Qing's fate as having full fortune and longevity, with prosperous offspring. It was funny that Qin He treated the pregnancy like a treasure.

"If she doesn't affect her pregnancy, how can she keep everything in her hands?" Times were different now, Qin Bi smiled lightly, and her words were not polite: "She has her own abilities, and the Heavenly Dao favors her. Whatever she wants, someone will naturally send it to her hands. In this way, her fortune value and luck value are not low."

How fortunate to have someone bring you whatever you want!

Qin Bi didn't have this ability. These words were ordinary, but the little illegitimate son of the third branch changed his expression. His face changed again and again, and the little illegitimate son lowered his eyes. The little nephews ran over to play with Rong Yang.

"The Rong Heir doesn't have offspring easily, you should pay attention to yourself." Qin Tang advised.

Qin Bi knew in her heart and greeted the guards to move the sweet, crisp red radishes she brought. Everyone leaned over to look. Seeing they were red radishes, and all flowered, they didn't complain.

Several illegitimate daughters curled their lips. He Shi saw it out of the corner of her eye and was unhappy in her heart.

"Why are they all flowered?" Qin Lang took one and broke it, intending to share it with the illegitimate brother beside him, but it broke as soon as he broke it: "Whoa, it's actually this crisp. Let's all taste it."

Qin Lang shared the broken pieces with Jiang Shi and the others, small pieces, without peeling. The illegitimate sons were young and didn't care, taking a bite first. Huh? Chewing it, it was so sweet.

"Am I eating sugar?" The little illegitimate son was unsure.

The illegitimate son beside him glanced at him: "If you crave sugar, go buy some. Buy me a piece too."

The little illegitimate son took the crisp, sweet red radish and said: "It's very sweet."

Lin Shi got up, intending to wash it, but Qin Lang said: "How sweet can it be?"

Putting it in his mouth and chewing, Qin Lang's expression lit up. My heavens, so sweet. Qin Lang wanted the crisp, sweet red radish in Lin Shi's hand: "Sister-in-law, don't eat it. I don't mind the dirt, give it to me to eat."

Lin Shi couldn't refuse, so Qin Lang took it, threw it into his mouth, and shouted to share the crisp, sweet red radishes: "Sister, did you bring these back for us? I want some too, give me a few more red radishes."

Seeing this enthusiasm, Qin Tang tasted a piece, got up, took the flowered ones from the basket, and broke them to share a piece of crisp, sweet red radish with the little ones. Qin Xun also broke one and shared it with Qin Di and He Shi.

Qin Xun took a bite and looked at Lin Shi. If you can't eat sweet things, why wash them? Now it was good, only this silly woman didn't know how delicious the red radish was. Jiang Shi ate it, her eyes lit up, and she stood up.

"We want some too." Jiang Shi turned to Qin Bi: "Sister, you are too good at growing things. The red radishes are almost as sweet as sugar. My goodness, give me another piece to taste."

It was no wonder Jiang Shi was so excited. In the summer when fruits were scarce, Jiang Shi had never eaten anything so delicious.

The red radish had too much moisture, crisp and sweet.

The children took a bite, then looked again. It was a red radish, how could it be so sweet? And it had the fragrance and sweetness of fruit. The children crowded around the bamboo basket, and Qin Xun had to take another one and break it.

"Father, these are for you and Mother." Qin Bi stood up and said with a smile: "Share some with my third uncle's family. We grew them ourselves, they aren't anything rare. I didn't take all the good ones, and I won't stand on ceremony with Father and Mother. The flowered ones won't keep, so you all accompany me and eat the secondary crisp, sweet red radishes first."
