Chapter 197: Qin He Must Accompany Fubao

~8 min read 1,524 words

A trace of confusion appeared on Qin He's face. What did the Heir cousin mean by that?

Cui Shi put down her teacup and said, "Qin He, you summon yours, and Qin Bi summons hers. Your cousin means there's no need for you to interfere. Whether she cares about how you summon or not, you shouldn't care about her either."

He Shi gave a light sneer, her gaze toward Qin He filled with scrutiny.

The Qin Yan Hou's wife and the Heir's wife didn't reveal anything. Zhu Shi took a sip of tea, lowered her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking. Qin He's younger sister and Qin Yan didn't quite understand the current situation.

Not care about Qin Bi? Qin He was angry in her heart and retorted, "Mother, I am working hard to summon under the scorching sun, but Sister Qin Bi is just sitting there reaping the benefits. Are we just going to let her mess around?"

He Shi's face darkened, and Jiang Shi's face didn't look good either. He Shi turned to Cui Shi and said, "Second sister-in-law, Qin He summoned a light rain this morning, which we all witnessed and cannot be faked. Qin Bi didn't come, and she didn't say this was the rain she summoned, right? What does Qin He mean? Who is reaping the benefits?"

Cui Shi was embarrassed by He Shi's retort and said to Qin He in a deep voice, "Qin He, if you have the ability, summon. If you don't, step down."

Qin He was stunned. He Shi sneered, "If we follow Qin He's meaning, it's us who are reaping the benefits. Qin He is working hard to summon rain to irrigate the fertile fields, and we haven't done anything."

This label couldn't be accepted. Qin He said, "I didn't say that."

He Shi ignored Qin He and continued, "These fertile fields are our Marquis Manor's fertile fields. Qin He summoned a light rain, so if we owe a favor, it should be the Marquis Manor that owes it. The Rong Prince's manor didn't get any rain here. Qin He, whether it should be said or not, you can't find Qin Bi, so what reaping the benefits? You really can talk nonsense."

Qin He was speechless, her face flushed red, and she didn't know if it was from shame or anger.

Qin Jue from the second branch arrived. After hearing two sentences, he was also speechless.

"Qin He," Qin Jue reprimanded appropriately, "why do you have so much trouble?"

Qin He was furious. It turned out she had become a troublemaker.

The Qin Yan Hou's wife pursed her lips. He Shi, as Qin Bi's legal mother, was unhappy and stood up for Qin Bi. Qin He's speaking without thinking was wrong. "Are you still summoning? Your Sister Qin Bi isn't here. Go apologize to your fourth aunt later."

"Why?" Qin He raised her voice.

Several Marquis Manor wives darkened their faces at the same time, staring fixedly at Qin He. Qin He was terrified and took a step back. A concubine's daughter naturally feared the mistress of the house, and these wives were all mistresses of the house with high backgrounds.

"Qin He," Cui Shi's gaze turned cold, "apologize to your fourth aunt in a while."

He He Shizi's wife stood out, smiling warmly. Thinking that the Heir had gone to the Rong Prince's manor and had instructed her to assist the mother-in-law in presiding over the rain summoning before leaving, she had received the Heir's entrustment, so she had to do it beautifully.

He He Shizi could go to the Rong Prince's manor, which showed that he valued Qin Bi more.

"Sister Qin He," the Heir's wife took Qin He's hand and smiled gently, "our Marquis Manor's fertile fields are right here, and I also know a little about summoning rain. Like the rain you summoned this morning, no one is grabbing the credit, so there's no talk of anyone reaping the benefits. You, you just speak without thinking."

After a pause, the Heir's wife tried to be as fair as possible and brought up the business again. "Are you still summoning rain? If you're not, we and the aunts will go back. On such a hot day, there are indeed very few cloud clusters with rain. It's not bad to be able to summon a light rain."

He He Shizi's wife was hitting and praising at the same time, making it impossible for people to pick out faults.

To be honest, if there was a summoning artifact of a slightly higher grade, the Heir's wife could also summon a light rain. Qin He was a disciple of the sect, so she just had more magic treasures.

Qin He lowered her eyes and thought, once she summoned a big rain, let's see who would dare to mention asking her to apologize.

Qin He looked at the crop leaves that had been stripped, the sun in the sky was very poisonous, and it was inexplicably hot, making people irritable. She said righteously, "The fertile fields urgently need rain. How can I be at ease if I don't summon? I still want to summon."

He He Shizi's wife breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was still summoning, it was fine.

Right now, regardless of whether it was heavy or light rain, as long as it rained a little, it could keep the crops from dying. Who told Qin He to have a summoning artifact? The Qin Yan Hou's manor couldn't produce such an intermediate summoning artifact.

If Qin He was willing to give the intermediate summoning artifact to her, the Heir's wife wouldn't bother Qin He to take action.

Qin He obviously didn't want to give up this opportunity to accumulate reputation. Forget it, the Heir's wife sighed helplessly. Some people were just lucky and had good fortune, able to get the favor of the sect, and even the sect was willing to give intermediate summoning artifacts.

"It's the hottest time of the day right now. Let's summon in the mid-afternoon." The Qin Yan Hou's wife looked at the poisonous sun and didn't urge Qin He to summon immediately.

At noon, there were the fewest cloud clusters with rain. Only a fool would summon at noon.

Any cloud clusters would be dried up by the sun.

Qin He had a headache and felt nauseous at this moment, so she went to rest on the side. The guard activated the teleportation array and left. Qin He wanted to eat ice cream, so the guard went to the shop to get ice cream. Everyone was so hot they couldn't stand it.

Qin Yan returned to the Rong Prince's manor and mentioned that Qin He had summoned a light rain in the morning. As for saying Qin Bi was reaping the benefits? Qin Yan wouldn't pass on those words, so as not to make Qin Bi unhappy.

Anyone who was said to be reaping the benefits for no reason would feel uncomfortable.

Qin Bi learned from Qin Yan that Qin He had consumed a lot of spiritual power and smiled. High spiritual power consumption was good. Consume it all bit by bit. Just lying in the Xue Prince's manor wasn't enough; Qin He had to accompany Fubao.

There were several summoning artifacts with rain drawn on them on the table, prepared by Prince Rong.

Qin Bi drank a bowl of strong tea, felt energetic, took a summoning artifact, and said, "I'll summon."

"The sun is poisonous right now. Summon in the mid-afternoon," Prince Rong said.

"Sister," Qin Lang wiped his sweat, "summon when it's cool. Any cloud clusters will have their moisture baked away."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Bi waved her hand, held the summoning artifact, and began to summon.

Qin Bi didn't drag her feet. Qin Yan couldn't stop her. Once the summoning started, it couldn't be interrupted, otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted, and it would also damage her spiritual power. The first strategist, Lin Yao, twitched his mouth.

In an instant, a strong wind blew in the sky.

Lin Yao: "..."

It was windless and fireless at noon, but as soon as the Princess summoned, the wind started. This couldn't be called natural weather.

Everyone's pupils shrank, looking up at the blowing wind.

Qin Lang looked at the tree leaves. "..." "My mother!"

Qin Yan's heartbeat accelerated, and Prince Rong squinted. As the wind blew harder and harder, dark clouds began to condense in the air, gathering in one direction in clusters, pitch-black and carrying a large amount of rain.

The advisors were excited. Qin Bi informed them in advance, "Don't get excited. I'm just blowing wind for fun; not a single drop of rain will fall."

"Dark clouds, large patches of dark clouds." The strategist pointed at the heavy sky and said, "There must be heavy rain."

Qin Bi poured cold water, emphasizing, "Not a single drop of rain will fall."

The advisor's hands trembled, and he was almost angered to death, his breath stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down. ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
