Chapter 275: What

It must be because He Shi had almost severed ties with her maiden family for the sake of Qin Bi's marriage.

But Qin Bi had always remembered it; it was truly rare.

It wasn't that Lin Shi was saying this, but no matter how Cui Shi planned for Qin He, Qin He wouldn't appreciate it. Concubine-born daughters were almost all like this. For example, Qin Han—He Shi was good to Qin Han, but Qin Han didn't necessarily remember He Shi's kindness.

Jiang Shi took a bunch of spirit fruit, intending to wash it herself. Although Qin Bi had picked five or six bunches, she couldn't really leave them all; Qin Bi still had two children.

Qin Bi saw this: "Sister-in-law, take two more bunches and call the little nephews over to taste the spirit fruit I grew."

When her father and brother were able to support her in her divorce, the two sisters-in-law hadn't been without merit. Although the father and legal mother were in charge and the sisters-in-law didn't have the final say, it was enough that Jiang Shi and Lin Shi hadn't given them cold faces.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi looked at each other. Naturally, they wanted their children to eat the spirit fruit. Jiang Shi's smile became more genuine, and she took two more bunches of spirit fruit out of the main hall.

The children of the fourth branch heard they could eat spirit fruit and came running over, beaming with joy.

This excited the little milk bun so much that he was kicking and struggling with great energy. He Shi was surprised: "Don't look at how small this child is; his strength isn't small. Will our Great Yan produce another great general?"

"Younger brother Rong Chi?" The children were stunned when they saw the little milk bun.

Rong Yang often came to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, and this little one was always held by the Heir Apparent every time he came, cherished like nothing else. The children didn't dare to find Rong Chi to play; if they touched the little bun and he cried, their world would collapse.

The little milk bun Rong Chi was "ah-ah-ing," wanting to play with the children.

There was no other way, so Qin Tang's eldest son had to carefully take him. Qin Xun's eldest son hurriedly moved a stable chair, and another little nephew helped. Qin Tang's eldest son sat down holding the little milk bun.

Rong Chi was happy, laughing "ga-ga."

Qin Bi also smiled. Jiang Shi returned after washing the spirit fruit, carrying two fruit plates. She placed one on the table in front of He Shi, and from the other plate, Jiang Shi tore off a small branch to feed the child for Qin Bi first.

The other children were each given a small branch. The children of the fourth branch were eating such delicious spirit fruit for the first time and couldn't bear to eat it, taking small bites and savoring the sweet and sour taste.

He Shi had only eaten spirit fruit a few times when visiting her maiden home. She pinched one and put it in her mouth: "This spirit fruit is not bad, sweet and sour."

The children nodded: "It's so sweet, so sweet."

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi also tore off two spirit fruits. Jiang Shi took a bite: "Indeed sweet and sour."

As these words fell, Qin Bi had already peeled two spirit fruits to feed the little milk bun, and then peeled a green one that wasn't very red. The child spat it out, knitting his little brows, it was so sour.

"Oh my!" Jiang Shi laughed: "Change to one that's redder."

He Shi and Lin Shi also found it funny and were amused by the child. He Shi pushed the fruit plate on the table: "Find a red one for the child to eat. Look at how sour our Rong Chi is; he won't eat the ones that aren't fully ripe."

Lin Shi immediately brought the plate for Qin Bi to pick. The children of the fourth branch also picked the green ones to eat, leaving the red ones for the little milk bun. The older children were happy, and the little one was happy too.

The fourth branch was eating spirit fruit, and He Shi didn't hide it. Why hide it? Her fourth branch was doing well, so she could show off a bit.

In the second branch, Qin He's legal younger sister curled her lips: "What's so great about that? Just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse and growing a melon field in the desolate land. A concubine-born daughter is only fit to farm the land herself. When Qin He sister wants to eat spirit fruit, the Heir Apparent sends it over immediately."

Cui Shi glanced at her: "Did Qin He eat spirit fruit this year?"

Qin He's legal younger sister: "......"

The fifth branch's concubine-born daughters Qin Yan and Qin Cui ran to find Qin He's legal younger sister, huddling together in frustration, determined to tell Qin He sister later that they absolutely couldn't let Qin Bi surpass Qin He sister.

The first branch's Qin Yan Marquis Lady was surprised, not expecting He Shi to have stood up for Qin Bi in vain, and they were already eating the spirit fruit Qin Bi had given them.

The fourth branch was lively. Rong Yang, Lin Yao, Qin Tan, and others were all in the desolate land snatching the Bountiful Harvest Cloud, so Qin Bi didn't bother with it, intending to stay at the Qin Yan Marquis Manor for the whole day.

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in He Shi's courtyard.

The children were eating and drinking. Lin Yao sent a few ordinary watermelons from the desolate land. Qin Tang and Qin Xun had watermelons grown, but these were grown by Qin Bi, so the sentiment was naturally different.

The early autumn day was hot, and Jiang Shi cut a watermelon.

She gave a piece to He Shi first, one to Rong Chi, and the others took theirs to eat.

Just then, Qin Han brought her children back to the Marquis Manor. A maid entered the room and said: "Madam, Young Madam, Miss Qin Han is back."

Everyone was stunned, and the children holding the watermelon were at a loss. Qin Bi was also stunned. He Shi was surprised: "Why is she here if there's nothing going on? Did she bring the children?"

The maid immediately said: "She brought the children."

Fine, everyone immediately guessed the reason. They hadn't hidden the fact that they were eating spirit fruit, so Qin Han had probably heard the news and brought the children over in the afternoon, probably wanting to share some melon and fruit.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi looked at each other and made their own decisions without asking He Shi, hurriedly saying: "Quickly put away the melon and fruit."

In an instant, those eating melon stopped. Rong Chi smacked his lips, swallowed the spirit fruit in his mouth, and the children of the fourth branch, along with Jiang Shi, Lin Shi, and the maids and nannies, quickly tidied up the table.

Qin Xun's youngest son took the fruit plate away. Rong Chi was "ah-ah-ing," and Qin Bi coaxed him: "Don't eat yet."

The child was very clever, looking here and there obediently.

Lin Shi quickly tore a branch of spirit fruit from the fruit branch, about three spirit fruits, and handed them to Qin Tang's eldest son who was holding the little milk bun, whispering: "If the child wants to eat, let him eat. Qin Han's children are older; they shouldn't be comparing themselves to such a small child."

Qin Bi took the spirit fruit from her little nephew and put one in his mouth. This child had been holding Rong Chi the whole time and hadn't eaten much melon or fruit, eating much less than his younger brothers.

"Give it to younger brother," the nephew said.

"There's plenty for him." Qin Bi gave her little nephew another spirit fruit.

When Rong Chi saw this, he didn't mind the sourness of the green one anymore and hurriedly opened his mouth to eat a small piece of fruit flesh fed by Qin Bi.

Lin Shi tore off another branch for Qin Bi. Jiang Shi scanned the main hall; there were melon seeds and candies on the table. Jiang Shi went out to welcome Qin Han herself. Qin Han brought the children into the main hall.

"Are the nephews all at Mother's place?" Qin Han smiled and pushed her son: "Go find your cousins to play."

The child ran to the Qin family children. He Shi said: "Isn't your shop busy?"

"I haven't been back to the Marquis Manor for a long time." Qin Han had practiced while running her shop and could say polite things easily: "I came to see Father and Mother when I had some free time. The children also missed their maternal grandfather and grandmother and insisted on coming together."

He Shi nodded, and Jiang Shi and Lin Shi exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Han.

Qin Han scanned with her peripheral vision and didn't see any spirit fruit or spirit melon. Jiang Ren turned her head, looked for them on the table, and her gaze fell on the spirit fruit in Qin Bi's hand. The little girl tugged at Qin Han's sleeve. ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
