Chapter 180: Can She Even Grab It?

Qin Bi watched the spectacle while Rong Juan ate melon seeds.

Qin He felt humiliated and looked toward Qin Bi and Lady Jiang, while Qin Lang watched the show with great interest, thinking, "Hey, Qin He is really showing off! Now she's revealing the hierarchy."

"What are you making a fuss about?" Qin He's face turned green then red. "Even Rong's Heir Consort can come."

Qin He said this on purpose; since she and Qin Bi were both Heir Consorts, if Qin Bi could come, so could she.

Qin Bi was also the type to stir the pot; unfortunately, she had been reborn into this cultivation world without magic power and had to start from scratch, otherwise, even the Heavenly Dao couldn't protect Qin He from being killed by her.

"The Heir sent me," Qin Bi said with a light smile.

She acted superior, looking down on Qin He; in the cultivation world, people were naturally divided into ranks.

Compared to her, was Qin He even worthy?

Qin Bi smiled, her chin lifted slightly.

Qin He secretly hated it; she could never stand Qin Bi's calm and indifferent demeanor. When they were both concubine-born daughters, it was the same. When Qin Bi married He He Shizi, He He Shizi did it to pave the way for her, and Qin He still felt superior.

But after Rong Heir proposed to Qin Bi, everything changed completely.

"She can," Qin He said to Xue He Shizi.

Xue He Shizi got angry. "Impossible."

Lin Yao, the First Strategist, naturally knew the Heir Consort and Qin He were at odds; if he could cause trouble, he wouldn't stay in the background. Now, Lin Yao, the First Strategist, realized that their Heir Consort and the young Heir got whatever they wanted, so he should quickly cling to their thigh.

Lin Yao stepped forward. "There's nothing impossible about it."

With the First Strategist present, it meant Rong Heir had given permission.

Xue He Shizi choked and said to Qin Bi, "Shouldn't you be at home taking care of the child?"

Qin Bi was speechless; she would love to take care of the child, but could she even get the chance? Rong Heir held his youngest son while working in the study, and the eldest followed her; she was also taking care of the child, just going out to play.

"Brother-in-law," Qin Bi said pointedly. "You worry too much."

Xue He Shizi stuck his neck out. "Women should stay home to support their husbands and teach their children."

Qin Bi pointed at Qin He. "Tell that to Qin He."

Xue He Shizi and Qin He started arguing again; Qin Bi got interested. A waiter brought boiled melon seeds, and Qin Bi helped Rong Juan eat them, while Lady Jiang and Qin Lang gathered together to point and criticize Qin He.

The crowd in the restaurant also chuckled, their mockery obvious.

Those watching the sword dance were people of status in their families, the heads of households, and the elite of cultivation families; otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to watch cultivators perform sword dances.

In such a high-class place, Xue He Shizi and Qin He arguing until their faces were red and necks swollen only made the crowd look down on them.

"Xue Qing, after all I sacrificed for you, you actually see me as an ordinary woman of the inner quarters," Qin He said with a stern face. "I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect with a bright future. I married you only because you were so obedient; I never expected you to be just like those common mortals."

Qin He felt humiliated and angry, her head throbbing with blood; how could Xue He Shizi treat her like an ordinary ancient woman of the inner quarters? She was different; she wanted to be the female protagonist.

Especially upon seeing that Qin Bi could bring Rong Wang Fu's First Strategist and look down on the festivities with such superiority, Qin He's resentment surged to her head, and she became very dissatisfied with Xue He Shizi.

She, a female protagonist, had condescended to marry Xue He Shizi; what was there for him to be unsatisfied about?

"Yes, disciples of the Immortal Sect should look down on the world," a young cultivator from the sect spoke up for Qin He, shouting loudly. "Only those who cultivate to be above others can achieve immortality; having a spiritual root means one shouldn't be confined to the inner quarters."

Xue He Shizi roared, "Shut up."

Qin Bi also looked at this young cultivator; she disliked what the cultivator said, feeling an urge to crush him. He spoke arrogantly and deserved to die, but she had been reborn and no longer had the ability to crush others.

Qin Bi took a deep breath, determined to cultivate again and fight her way back.

Qin Bi's eyes were slightly red; a surge of anger she couldn't suppress rose within her. She had fought on all fronts and brought abundant harvests to the world, so what? She was still abandoned and left her immortal body behind. Fortunately, the immortal realm she came from had exhausted spiritual energy, and everything was withering.

Did the Emperor of that immortal realm regret it? He must have.

Let them all die!

"Mother," Rong Juan tugged at Qin Bi's hem.

Qin Bi composed herself and smiled. "What is it?"

The child looked at Qin Bi's teary eyes. "Let's go home."

Qin Bi knew the little bundle was very smart; her emotions must have affected the child. She bent down, picked up the little bundle, restored her smile, and called Lady Jiang and Qin Lang to leave.

The flower-viewing party was lively, with flowers of every color everywhere. People from the Immortal Sect summoned a light rain; the plants and flowers were watered, and many blossoms opened.

"Sister," Qin Lang said, still wanting more. "Let's keep watching the show! Qin He is amazing; she actually dared to speak to Xue He Shizi like that. She seems to have forgotten that without Xue He Shizi protecting her, she is nothing."

Qin Bi waved her hand. "You go back and watch."

Qin Lang hesitated, but Lady Jiang said, "Come back and tell us what happened after you watch."

"Okay!" Qin Lang ran off.

There were stalls selling all sorts of things at the flower-viewing party, including delicacies and various trinkets. Qin Bi bought whatever Rong Juan liked or disliked, and whatever she liked herself; once Rong Juan saw her, he followed suit and bought, bought, bought.

The candied hawthorn skewers looked delicious, so Qin Bi bought one for everyone.

Qin Lang returned quickly; Lin Yao gave him a candied hawthorn skewer, and Qin Lang ate it while recounting what happened at the restaurant: "Xue He Shizi and Qin He were kicked out of the restaurant by the Immortal Sect disciples."

The restaurant was bustling; it was no place for a couple to argue.

Even Xue He Shizi couldn't do that, as it disturbed their business.

"Why is Qin He so unreasonable? She used to be quite sensible," Qin Lang wondered. "Before, Qin He was so understanding and capable; she could make money and was considered a talented woman in Jingcheng. Lately, she's become more and more fond of making trouble."

Qin Bi knew what was going on. "Who makes trouble when things go smoothly? People only make trouble when things don't go their way."

Lady Jiang ate the candied hawthorn in small bites and said, "What else could she possibly be unsatisfied with?"

Qin He had plenty of reasons to be unsatisfied. Qin Bi said, "Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Before, she was the only one among the concubine-born daughters of Hou Fu who shone; she was proud everywhere. But who could have imagined that I would become the Heir Consort?"

Qin He compared herself and felt unbalanced.

To put it plainly, she just couldn't stand seeing others do better than her.

No one cared if Qin He was unhappy. Qin Bi and her group walked while admiring the flowers. Yan, the guard of Rong Wang Fu, arrived with two subordinates. Seeing them from afar, Qin Bi and the others stopped.

"Did the young Heir cause trouble?" Qin Bi asked.

"No," Guard Yan ordered his guards to bring a small wooden box. He opened it and lifted the small quilt. "The Heir was worried that the Heir Consort and young Heir Rong Juan might be thirsty, so he sent me to deliver some ice pops."

Qin Lang was stunned, and Lady Jiang was also surprised.

Each took an ice lolly to eat and continued playing.
