Chapter 322: There Is

~9 min read 1,623 words

Qin Tang was stunned. Qin Bi's generosity was even more lavish than sending ordinary ducks.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi's eyes sparkled. Send them a few hundred! Their hearts and eyes were full of expectation. Unfortunately, He Shi and Qin Di had no such intention. Qin Di thought for a moment, exchanged a glance with He Shi, and left, calling Rong Yang.

"What are you doing?" Rong Yang asked.

Qin Di asked: "Do you have any guards you trust?"

Rong Yang naturally did, and nodded: "There is."

"There is no place to house the spirit poultry ducks. You take them back and send people to raise them," He Shi said, then pondered for a moment: "If Rong Yang has no place to raise them, he can put them on my manor, but your Grandfather and I have no manpower to raise spirit poultry ducks."

Rong Yang answered crisply: "I will raise them."

Rong Yang sat down and counted his manors with Qin Di and his wife. He He Shizi Apparent He did not give him any manors, but the Heir Apparent gave Rong Yang several manors, all adjacent to Rong Yang's fields. Qin Di and his wife could pick one at will.

Qin Di and his wife didn't need to pick a manor; the child could make the decision.

Rong Yang picked a manor at random for his grandfather and grandmother to raise spirit poultry ducks. After thinking about it, the child said: "This manor is not big, but there is no shortage of rivers in the village. I give it to Grandfather and Grandmother."

Qin Di didn't say he wanted it, only: "I will use it first. Remember to go back and tell your father."

"My father gave the manor to me," Rong Yang said happily: "Don't worry about it. My father also saved up a small treasury for me. This manor is not big, I can make the decision, Grandfather doesn't need to worry."

Qin Di stared at Rong Yang twice. This child is smart! Only a year old, and he could hear his concerns. Rong Yang had the demeanor of an Heir Apparent at such a young age; the Heir Apparent deserved much of the credit.

He Shi thought of He Yan: "Did your father at the Yan Guogong Manor not give you a manor?"

The child spread his hands: "No."

"Probably saving it to give to Fubao," Rong Yang added.

He Shi took a deep breath, planning to go back to her maiden home later. How is He Yan being a father? He was longing for a child, yet he couldn't even bear to give the child a manor.

"Grandmother," Rong Yang said: "Even if he gave it to me, I wouldn't want it."

He Shi: "......"

The more Rong Yang thought about it, the angrier he got. Returning to the Rong Wang Manor, he sent away all the people He Yan had given him. He didn't want them anymore. He Yan was stunned at first, then laughed in anger. What was this about now?

He He Shizi Apparent had been letting Qin Bi take care of his youngest son for the past two days. The mother and child were getting along very well now. Qin Bi would tease the child with an "ah-woo," and the child would cackle with laughter. When Qin Bi ignored him, the little milk bun would pull at Qin Bi, "ah-woo-ya."

He He Shizi Apparent's eyes were filled with smiles. After watching for a moment, he went to see Qin Tang and Qin Xun.

Qin Bi turned her head and asked Rong Yang, who was gnawing on a braised duck leg: "Why did you send the guards back?"

Rong Yang "ah-wooed," bit into the spicy braised duck leg: "Don't want them anymore."

Qin Bi pondered the child's thoughts, first "ah-wooed" to tease her youngest son, Rong Chi cackled, and Qin Bi fed him a piece of braised duck meat before turning back to talk to Rong Yang.

"If you don't want them, give them to Fubao." Qin Bi was worried that Rong Yang hadn't thought it through. In the past, the child was still very fond of things from the Yan Guogong Manor: "Fubao would be dying to have the guards from the Yan Guogong Manor."

"Give them to Fubao then," Rong Yang said.

Qin Bi was puzzled, and the child added: "He couldn't even bear to give me a manor, why would I want the guards from the Yan Guogong Manor?"

Qin Bi was startled. Rong Yang was concerned about He Yan giving Fubao a manor. After a little thought, perhaps He Yan forgot to give Rong Yang a manor. Perhaps, Qin Bi thought about her past interactions with He Yan.

She didn't want anything, and He Yan wouldn't give her anything. If he did send something, it would be books.

Yet later, He Yan gave Qin He beast crystals and agate-like stones, which were real gold and silver. Qin Bi couldn't bring herself to ask for beast crystals, and He Yan never once thought to give them to her.

Qin Bi glanced at Rong Yang and didn't speak up for He Yan. As long as Rong Yang wasn't sad, Qin Bi wouldn't interfere if he threw a tantrum at He Yan. If Rong Yang didn't want things from the Yan Guogong Manor, she would have to plan early.

Rong Yang gnawed on the spicy braised duck leg and took a braised duck head for Qin Bi: "Mother, you eat."

Qin Bi took it, tore the meat off the braised duck head, and fed it into Rong Yang's mouth. The child opened his mouth and ate it. The little milk bun "ah-ah-ed," wanting to eat a bite too. Qin Bi turned back and fed him a bite.

The two children ate happily. Qin Bi fed the children and gnawed on the duck head herself, lively and bustling.

The spicy braised duck legs and duck heads were finished. Qin Bi held the little milk bun and took Rong Yang to the front courtyard to find Rong Juan. He He Shizi Apparent had been very busy these past two days, going to Rong Yang's manor to settle the spirit poultry ducks for Qin Di and He Shi.

There were even more spirit poultry ducks of their own. He He Shizi Apparent ordered people to pick over a hundred spirit poultry ducks that hadn't grown small crystals and went to the Immortal Sect to trade for spirit-planted chickens. The child was picky and would easily get tired of eating only spirit poultry ducks.

Those with small crystals were killed and eaten, and the small crystals were distributed to Rong Yang and Rong Chi.

In the Qin Yan Hou Manor, spirit poultry ducks had been distributed over the past two days. The five thousand for Qin Yan, and the Marchioness of Qin Yan and the Heir Apparent's wife took charge of distributing a dozen or so to the Second and Fifth Branches, all of which were those that hadn't grown small crystals.

Originally, almost all of those that had grown small crystals were teleported to the Rong Wang Manor. There weren't many left, and the Heir Apparent's wife and the Marchioness of Qin Yan had their own plans; how could they give away those with small crystals?

Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang each gave fifty spirit poultry ducks to the public treasury. Qin Yan hadn't returned, so the Marquis of Qin Yan took charge and gave fifteen hundred spirit poultry ducks to the public treasury, which made the Heir Apparent's wife's heart ache terribly.

Jiang Shi received instructions and went to the Rong Wang Manor.

"Qin Bi," Jiang Shi said: "When catching the spirit poultry ducks, the whole manor contributed."

Qin Bi didn't want to interfere, but she still looked at Qin Lang. Qin Lang was talking to Rong Yang; the two got along well, huddled together, and had endless things to say, their heads leaning together happily.

Qin Lang turned his head and explained: "Grandfather and Eldest Uncle distributed the spirit poultry ducks from the public treasury to the younger generation with slightly better aptitude. They contributed the most when the spirit poultry ducks were teleported back. My little younger brother also got a dozen or so spirit poultry ducks; he was so happy."

Qin Bi knew this little younger brother and also smiled: "Distribute them, just don't give them to Qin He."

Qin Lang said: "She doesn't even know when she'll be back."

The younger generation of the Second and Fifth Branches, those with slightly better aptitude, were all taken away by Qin He and Qin Jue, so they had no part in distributing the spirit poultry ducks. If you went to the small space of the Beast Realm, what else would you distribute?

Qin Yan's generation and the younger generation all received spirit poultry ducks.

Those who went to the small space of the Beast Realm had no share; they just had to take care of themselves.

Jiang Shi delivered the message and left, which could be considered as greeting the Heir Apparent. This noble son-in-law could manage half of the Qin Yan Hou Manor. Before the Heir Apparent married Qin Bi, the Fourth Branch had no say in delivering messages.

Qin Lang stayed and didn't leave. The Qin Yan Hou Manor distributed spirit poultry, and Rong Yan's family traded the spirit poultry for a few Spirit-Condensing Pills, keeping the rest for themselves to eat, covering it up very tightly. Jiang Xu didn't dare bring the spirit poultry ducks back to the Jiang Manor.

His elder brother and sister hinted several times, but Jiang Xu brushed them off. ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
