Chapter 210: What Is She Doing Here?

Qin He spoke with certainty, and Qin Yan did not doubt for a moment that it was Qin He who had summoned the rain.

Although Qin Yan wondered why the rain summoned days ago had only fallen today, her doubts were few; Qin He's tone was too certain, and Qin Yan's mind could not catch up.

The Wang Fei of Xue Wang frowned in confusion: "Your cousin stole your credit?"

"Anything that is mine, she loves to steal," Qin He explained. While changing into an outfit for going out and having her hair pinned by her maids, she added, "Even in the small space of the Beast Realm, Qin Bi claimed she was the one who opened it."

Upon hearing this, the Wang Fei of Xue Wang immediately believed her: "You must go quickly. Perhaps she will make another move while you were unconscious. If she tells the Hou Fu people that she summoned this rain, knowing that you and Fu Bao were unconscious, no one will doubt her words."

Qin He quickly finished getting ready and did not forget to put on the exquisite crown of a He Shizi's wife.

Summoning rain was a grand and imposing affair, and Qin He paid close attention to her attire. Since the Xue He Shizi had been unconscious, she could not worry about him. Fu Bao insisted on going along, but after a moment of hesitation, Qin He did not take Fu Bao.

Activating the teleportation array, the group arrived directly at the Hou Fu farmlands.

As soon as they touched the ground, a downpour drenched them from head to toe. A look of delight appeared on Qin He's pale face, and Qin Yan was even more overjoyed: "Sister Qin He, look, it's raining heavily."

Qin He wore an expression of complete confidence, a smile playing on her lips as she stood under the umbrella held by a maid and said, "I knew it would rain."

She was very certain, acting as if she had known all along.

Everyone stood at the edge of the fields where it was not raining, as standing in the downpour would be unbearable. Seeing the newcomers, everyone turned to look. Qin Yan was surprised to see Qin He, while Qin Tang and Qin Xun merely glanced and did not move.

Qin Lang's eyes darted with curiosity: "Wasn't she unconscious? What is she doing here?"

Qin Tang narrowed his eyes, and Qin Xun pondered.

As the He Shizi, Qin Yan could not ignore them and stepped forward to greet them. The An Yuan Hou He Shizi and others glanced over, saw it was someone from Xue Wang Fu, and dismissed it, after all, Qin He was from Qin Yan Hou Fu.

"Qin He, you are awake," Qin Yan frowned. "Why are you going out so soon after waking? You should rest well in the Wang Fu for a while. Exhausting your spiritual power and injuring your spirit palace is no small matter."

Qin He immediately stepped out of the rain. Qin Yan, delighted, said, "Cousin, the rain is so heavy. Once the farmlands are irrigated, the crops will be thoroughly soaked and surely benefit greatly."

These words struck a chord with Qin Yan, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This rain has been falling for quite a while," Qin Yan said.

Qin He was even happier, her pretty face beaming with smiles: "I knew it would rain. Cousin, how large is the area covered by this rain? How many farms does it cover?"

"The area is not small," Qin Yan said, looking at the vast farmlands in the rain with a relaxed expression in his brows. "All the farmlands of our Qin Yan Hou Fu have received rain, as well as a plot belonging to my maternal grandfather's family."

"How large is the farmland of the Su Guogong Fu?" Qin He asked hurriedly.

As they spoke, the group walked to the side of the crowd. The Su He Shizi glanced at the people from Xue Wang Fu. Qin He saw this, nodded slightly in greeting, and the Su He Shizi smiled.

"Qin He has come to the farmlands too?" the Su He Shizi asked.

The Qin Yan Hou Fu and the Su Guogong Fu were relatives. The Su He Shizi knew Qin He; when she had opened a shop before, he had even been involved. As for Qin Yan's maternal family, Qin He genuinely wished to be on good terms with them.

"Yes," Qin He smiled faintly, her back straight as an arrow. "I came to see how the rain is falling."

The Su He Shizi felt a slight doubt in his heart, thinking that Qin He's serious demeanor meant she valued the Hou Fu's farmlands. A married daughter caring for her natal family was nothing to be criticized. With heavy rain being such a significant matter, it was only natural for Qin He to rush over to check.

"Su He Shizi, how large is the farmland of the Su Guogong Fu?" Qin He asked the Su He Shizi again.

The Su He Shizi knew the exact acreage of his mother's estate and answered immediately: "About fifty mu."

Great Yan was vast, and there were many reclaimed farmlands. However, farmlands were divided into several grades. Grade One fertile land commanded the highest price, but there were not many plots that could be classified as such. Noble families all placed great importance on Grade One fertile land.

Ordinary farmlands were plentiful, but crop yields were very low.

All the farmlands in the estate of the Su Guogong's wife added up to about fifty mu. Qin He gave a signal to her guard, who quickly went to check the acreage of the Su Guogong Fu's farmlands.

There were also the farmlands of the Third and Fourth Branches. These were not public farmlands of the Hou Fu, so if they received benefits, the acreage had to be calculated clearly.

Qin He could look after the people of the Hou Fu, but how could they simply take advantage of her for free? Besides, she thought with a huff, the Third and Fourth Branches were not on good terms with her; how could they have the face to use the rain she summoned for irrigation?

Seeing the guards from Xue Wang Fu leave, the An Yuan Hou He Shizi leaned back and asked the Su He Shizi standing behind him: "What does this mean? Why did the He Shizi's wife of Xue Wang Fu send someone to check the acreage of your family's farmlands?"

The Su He Shizi was also puzzled. Even a genius from a cultivation family who had married could manage her natal family's affairs, but Qin He was not considered a family genius. What did it mean for her to interfere with the irrigation as soon as she arrived?

The Su He Shizi looked at Qin Yan, but Qin Yan was also confused!

Qin Lang knew Qin He's character well. With his sharp young mind, he whispered to Qin Tang: "I feel Qin He has no good intentions. If the rain was summoned by Sister Qin Bi, I would even suspect that Qin He rushed over so eagerly to steal the credit."

Qin Tang and Qin Xun frowned. However, this rain was moved by cultivators working together, and the rain summoned by Qin Bi was in the Rong He Shizi's fiefdom. It made no sense for Qin He to come and steal credit for that.

Unable to guess, they simply stopped thinking about it.

Everyone admired the rain together. Bored and idle, they chatted. The An Yuan Hou He Shizi grew angrier just thinking about it. The more he looked at the edge of the fields, the more irritated he became, and he could not help but mock Qin Yan and the Su He Shizi.

"With such heavy rainfall, you really have the nerve," the An Yuan Hou He Shizi said, stepping on a rock and looking at the rain-soaked farmlands. "Look at how petty you are. It has been raining for quite a while, yet not a drop of rain has fallen on our families' farmlands. I have seen stingy people, but never so stingy."

Qin Yan and the Su He Shizi remained silent and did not respond. Qin Tang and the Su family members also said nothing. The An Yuan Hou He Shizi and others were envious of the rain and kept mocking every few minutes; one just had to get used to it.

The relationships between the families were decent, yet not a drop of rain was given to the An Yuan Hou family and others. Rubbing his forehead, the An Yuan Hou He Shizi thought it was unreasonable and too deliberate.

However, Qin He was not pleased. With a serious expression, she said, "An Yuan Hou He Shizi, your words are wrong. Summoning rain consumes a great deal of spiritual power. You cannot criticize just because it did not rain on your family."

The An Yuan Hou He Shizi: "..."

"Hah!" the An Yuan Hou He Shizi said. "So stingy, and now we aren't even allowed to speak?"

Qin He declared with righteous indignation: "This rain was summoned by me after I exhausted my spiritual power and turned the tide. I will not allow you to slander me."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Good heavens, no wonder she had been giving orders as soon as she arrived.
