Chapter 331: Rong He Shizi Brings the Child to Show Off

Qin He did not notice Xue He Shizi's anger; she thought of her system and knew she had to keep it well hidden.

Such a magic treasure, who knows how many people covet it.

The system popped out at this moment: "Yes, that is the right way to think. I am a top-tier magic treasure. You are a transmigrator, so you should know that a system is essential for transmigration. If I am snatched away, you will have no cheat. Do you want to become an ordinary person? To fade into the crowd."

Qin He naturally did not want that; only with the system's cheat could she marry into a noble family.

Qin He could not even imagine an ordinary life; she did not even want to marry a merchant's son. How could a merchant's family compare to the glory of a Prince's wife? There was also the wife of the heir to the Yan Guogong Prefecture, the Rong He Shizi's wife—these were the identities she desired.

If she could not marry the heir of a powerful minister, Xue He Shizi was her least desirable option.

"Qin He, you have no beast crystals left; you cannot exchange for anything." The system reminded Qin He: "You must earn beast crystals quickly. This time you went to the small space of the beast world and gained nothing."

"You still say that." Qin He felt angry just thinking about it: "The purple-level luck and max-level fortune value you exchanged for me did not work at all. It caused us to get injured and made us look very foolish."

The system sneered: "It is because you are too weak."

Mocked by the system, Qin He took a deep breath: "We rise or fall together."

"So," the system said, "hurry up and earn beast crystals. Heavenly treasures and earthly wonders work too. The system needs energy. As long as you have beast crystals or heavenly treasures, you can have whatever you want."

Qin He sighed; now no one would go to the small space of the beast world with her. How could she obtain beast crystals?

If it were before, He He Shizi would have given her beast crystals long ago. Even if they were meant for Fu Bao, Qin He could take them to exchange for things, such as recipes for various small items.

Qin He called Fu Bao over and bent down: "Fu Bao, go to the Yan Guogong Prefecture and ask for beast crystals. Medicinal ginseng or anything else will do, but spiritual ginseng is best. The Yan Guogong's wife likes you the most, and so does your Uncle He."

Fu Bao was very happy to go: "I want to go ask for delicious food."

Qin He smiled; asking for anything would do. She could test whether the Yan Guogong Prefecture was still paving the way for her. Fu Bao had fortune; she could even steal a portion of the Heavenly Dao's luck. She did not believe Fu Bao could not snatch luck.

Before, Qin He had disdained stealing luck. Now, Qin He would not be polite.

Although the Xuan Master and the Shu Master both said no one was stealing her luck, Qin He did not believe them. Qin Bi was just a lowly concubine-born daughter before, silent and unnoticed in the Hou Fu, with no weight to her words.

Qin He had not even paid her any mind, yet how did she suddenly become glorious the moment she got married?

However, the Immortal had instructed her to be kind to others, so Qin He decided to hold back a little.

Fu Bao went to the Yan Guogong Prefecture. The Yan Guogong's wife looked at Fu Bao with a heart full of sorrow; her Rong Yuan did not come anymore. Fu Bao asked for beast crystals, as well as medicinal ginseng and spiritual ginseng.

The Yan Guogong's wife hesitated for a moment, then gave the little girl a few stalks of medicinal ginseng. They were over a hundred years old; ordinary families could not afford to eat them. Giving them to Fu Bao was just to coax the child. Fu Bao also asked for beast crystals.

He He Shizi returned from the palace. Hearing this, he paused in his steps and tossed a few beast crystals to Fu Bao.

The Yan Guogong's wife gave some other things too, big and small packages. Fu Bao returned happily. Qin He received them, opened them, and took out the medicinal ginseng and everything else.

When Rong Yuan learned of this, the child became unhappy.

He ran to find Qin Bi, tilting his small head up: "Mother, I am not going to the Yan Guogong Prefecture anymore."

Qin Bi had never participated in this matter. Hearing this, she showed no emotion, but she knew she had to make plans for Rong Yuan: "If you don't go, then don't. I will make plans for you."

Rong Yuan nodded, then went to find Rong Juan.

"Father." Rong Yuan, small in stature and speaking in a milky voice, said: "I am not going to the Yan Guogong Prefecture anymore."

Rong Juan looked at the child: "Just because He He Shizi gave things to Fu Bao?"

Rong Yuan said: "Yes."

"Let him give them. It's nothing important." Rong Juan put down his official work, called Rong Yuan close, and said: "If you don't want them, you are letting others have them cheap. Don't you think that is even less profitable? If you don't go back, Fu Bao will be overjoyed."

Rong Yuan furrowed his small eyebrows. Rong Juan said: "If you don't go, then don't. We can talk about it in a few years. The Rong Wang Fu has always had two young heirs. You are not without a father's love. Just let He Yan cool off."

Rong Yuan said: "Okay."

Rong Juan said: "Go play in the palace."

Rong Yuan left happily. Qin Bi held her younger son and came to the study. She did not worry about Rong He Shizi scolding her for disturbing him in the study. For one reason only: she was holding the very apple of Rong He Shizi's eye.

Sure enough, when Rong Juan saw Rong Yuan, he reached out and took the child.

Qin Bi wanted to discuss farming with Rong Juan, planting some sweet potatoes since the children loved them. Before Qin Bi could even speak, Rong Juan gave the little milk bun some water and spoke first.

"I am going to the small space of the beast world," Rong Juan said.

"What for?" Qin Bi asked curiously.

"The Rong Wang Fu has two young heirs," Rong Juan said. "I am going to find some spiritual fruits and crystals for the children."

Qin Bi guessed Rong Juan's character and asked in confusion: "Are you not letting He Yan raise Rong Yuan?"

Rong Juan lowered his gaze, holding his younger son, and said: "How could I not let him raise him? Letting others have him cheap?"

Rong Juan stood up, took his younger son Rong Yuan, and went to the Yan Guogong Prefecture to find He Yan. Why was he holding his younger son? To tease He Yan, of course. He did not think Rong Juan failed to see that He Yan missed the child.

In He He Shizi's courtyard, Rong Juan held his younger son Rong Yuan and said: "Call him Uncle."

He Yan looked at the little milk bun in Rong Juan's arms with a cold expression. Could such a small child speak? The little milk bun also looked at He Yan, his black, round eyes wide open, grinning with his small mouth.

The child spoke in a milky voice: "Father."

He Yan: "..."

Rong Juan: "..."

This was the apple of Rong Juan's eye. Showing off failed; he lost out. Rong Juan angrily took the child and left. He Yan stood in the courtyard for a long while, pressing his forehead and chuckling softly. The child was quite interesting.

What did Rong Yuan look like when he was young? He Yan could not help but wonder.

Since Rong Yuan was born, He Yan had missed a part of raising a child. Rong He Shizi brought the child to show off. Was He Yan envious? Did he need to say it? He Yan was very envious, he just did not let his joy or anger show on his face.

He Yan sat down, his heart aching a bit. He had not raised his own child.

Now that he wanted to raise him, he did not know how to coax a child.

At this moment, Rong Yuan was playing with the young Imperial Prince in the palace. Fu Bao had also gone to the palace to show off; she had gotten many things from the Yan Guogong Prefecture. The little girl even snorted at Rong Yuan, looking very proud.

"Everyone in the He family likes me," Fu Bao said proudly. "I was born with two auspicious clouds. I have fortune. The adults all like me, and they give me all the good things."

Rong Yuan looked at her as if she were an idiot, then walked out of the palace with his little legs.

Eunuch Fu and the young Imperial Prince hurriedly followed to escort Rong Yuan back to the Rong Wang Fu. Qin Bi saw Rong Yuan return, picked up the child, and said: "You returning is perfect. Even if you hadn't returned, your father would have gone to fetch you. I missed you."
