Chapter 346: Just Likes to Compete with Me Over Everything

He Yan stood stunned for a long while, then picked up the official documents to read.

The little milk bun returned home and pawed at the storage bag: "Distributing treasures, distributing treasures~"

Qin Bi would not play with him and tried to leave, but the little milk bun called her back: "Distributing treasures."

The young prince ran over: "Give it to me."

The little milk bun gave the young prince a low-grade spiritual fruit; the young prince accepted it with a grin, thinking this younger brother was so kind. The little milk bun also gave Rong Juan a high-grade demon beast crystal.

Qin Bi was far away, so the little milk bun called her over, took out a high-grade spiritual fruit, and handed it to Qin Bi: "Mother, mother, this high-grade spiritual fruit is for you to eat, it's so delicious."

Qin Bi took it, sliced it open, and shared it with Rong Juan.

The little milk bun happily planned to go to Yan Guogong Prefecture again tomorrow. Rong He Shizi came from the study, took the storage bag from the little milk bun's hand, and gave half the contents to Rong Juan.

The little milk bun tilted his head: "Eh?"

Rong Juan put everything away; the little milk bun blinked, and finally accepted it.

The wind blew all night. A light rain in late autumn would usually bring a temperature drop, but this rain had not yet fallen. Rong Juan sent the little milk bun to Yan Guogong Prefecture; the young prince had returned to the palace yesterday.

Seeing the sky was still clear, Qin Bi went to the study and told Rong He Shizi: "I am going to Qin Yan Hou Prefecture."

Rong Juan dropped his official documents: "I will take you."

Rong Wang Fu began preparing the carriage. Rong Juan took Qin Bi to Qin Yan Hou Prefecture. After dropping her off, Rong Juan left immediately; the man had official business to attend to. Qin Lang ran to the Fourth Courtyard.

"Sister, you have come at just the right time." Qin Lang walked with light steps and said upon entering the living room: "Yesterday, Fourth Aunt and I discussed taking advantage of the good weather, before winter cold sets in, to invite you and the child over to play for two days."

Qin Bi smiled and said: "I also saw the good weather."

He Shi sat at the head of the table; Lin Shi brought fruits and melons.

Jiang Shi wondered: "Why didn't you bring the children?"

Qin Bi pondered. He Shi and the others looked at her. Qin Bi chuckled lightly: "Rong Juan and Rong Chi both went to Yan Guogong Prefecture. Since that day they came to Qin Yan Hou Prefecture, the little one probably heard that the children at Yan Guogong Prefecture were at Rong Wang Fu. He thought they were his own, and made a fuss about not wanting to go home."

The group was stunned. Qin Xun entered the main hall and, hearing this, smiled speechlessly: "This child."

"Won't Rong He Shizi be angry?" Lin Shi asked worriedly.

Qin Bi laughed in exasperation: "He couldn't bear to."

Lin Shi: "..."

He Shi: "..."

Qin Xun: "..."

Jiang Shi: "..."

Qin Lang laughed: "This is true. Rong He Shizi dotes on his children so much he fears melting them if he holds them in his palms." He paused, then Qin Lang still found it unbelievable: "He didn't even bear to give them a beating?"

Qin Bi shook her head: "Beating them? Rong He Shizi himself took them there."

He Shi and the others were silent for a moment. Even though Rong He Shizi had a fate of losing his wife and having no children, everyone still found it unbelievable. Just then, Qin Han also arrived. Since He Shi acquired spiritual treasures like the spirit duck, Qin Han often came to Hou Prefecture.

Qin Han stepped into the room and saw Qin Bi: "Sister Qin Bi is here too."

Qin Bi merely acknowledged her. Qin Han ordered a maid to bring several bars of soap.

"The workshop just finished these. They use autumn flowers, so the scent is light and not strong." Qin Han, talking about what she brought, spoke quite a bit: "Mother, sister-in-law, please try them. If they are good, I will bring more."

Saying this, Qin Han looked troubled: "However, I only brought six bars, two for each person."

Qin Han looked at Qin Bi: "How about I bring a few bars of soap for Sister Qin Bi next time?"

"No need." Qin Bi refused.

Several young masters and Qin He opened a shop together. Qin He provided the secret formula. It was said there were several workshops, with storefronts in every prefecture. Rong Wang Fu's shop also sold soap; the Wang Fu had no shortage of soap.

Qin Han was just speaking. Qin Bi and Qin He were not on good terms, and Qin Han did not want to offend Qin He by giving soap to Qin Bi.

Qin Han smiled and said nothing polite.

Qin Yan came to the Fourth Courtyard. Upon entering, she greeted everyone first, then said to Qin Han: "Sister Qin He has come to Hou Prefecture. Sister Qin Han, do you want to go find Sister Qin He and chat?"

Qin Han had exactly this intention and looked at He Shi.

He Shi waved her hand: "Go ahead."

Qin Han followed Qin Yan out. The Fourth Courtyard's concubine-born daughter followed them out and whispered: "The young master of Rong Wang Fu went to Yan Guogong Prefecture. I only heard a snippet, but they say he goes there every day."

Qin Yan and Qin Han were both surprised. Qin Yan said: "What is the young master doing at Yan Guogong Prefecture? Young Master Rong Juan does not recognize He He Shizi, does he? If he doesn't recognize him, why go? Could it be really as Sister Qin He said, just to compete with Fu Bao over everything?!"

Hearing Qin Yan misunderstand, the Fourth Courtyard's concubine-born daughter corrected: "It was Young Master Rong Chi who went to Yan Guogong Prefecture."

Qin Yan and Qin Han exchanged glances, confused. When they arrived at the Second Courtyard, Cui Shi sat at the head. Qin He returned with gifts. Qin He's legitimate younger sister was overjoyed and took some cakes to share with Fu Bao.

After paying respects to Cui Shi, Qin Yan and Qin Han took their seats.

Qin He's legitimate younger sister personally distributed the cakes. A maid served them to Qin Han and Qin Yan. Qin He's legitimate younger sister said: "Please try them all. Sister Qin He brought them. Every time Sister Qin He returns, she brings good things."

With such fine ingredients, they were naturally good things.

Qin He was never stingy.

Qin Yan, craving sweets, eagerly took a cake and bit into it: "Mm, delicious."

Qin Han ate delicately. Qin Yan, eating Qin He's cakes, said: "Sister Qin He, what is going on? Why does Sister Qin Bi's youngest son go to Yan Guogong Prefecture every day?"

Hearing Qin Bi's name, Qin He felt annoyed, along with Qin Bi's children: "Who told you that?"

"Cousin from the Fourth Courtyard told Sister Qin Han and me." Qin Yan did not hide it and repeated what the Fourth Courtyard's concubine-born daughter had said: "I thought Young Master Rong Juan went to Yan Guogong Prefecture every day. Since Rong Juan does not recognize He He Shizi, there was no need to go to Yan Guogong Prefecture."

Cui Shi frowned, and Qin He's legitimate younger sister was immediately furious.

Qin He was also angry and asked: "Did Young Master Rong Chi go to Yan Guogong Prefecture today too?"

Qin Han answered: "I heard he did."

Qin He's legitimate younger sister said angrily: "What for? It's disgusting. Yan Guogong Prefecture has a courtyard for Fu Bao; they raise Fu Bao like a legitimate young lady. Rong Juan is fine, but can Rong Chi compete? On what grounds does he run to Yan Guogong Prefecture?"

Qin He stood up: "I said it before, Sister Qin Bi just likes to compete with me over everything."

Cui Shi pondered. The young master of Rong Wang Fu also went to Yan Guogong Prefecture; there must be some thought behind it. To say they did not value the fortune and luck of Yan Guogong Prefecture would be nonsense.

Comparing Qin Bi and Qin He, Cui Shi still sided with Qin He.

"Sister Qin He," said Qin He's legitimate younger sister, "you should hurry and send Fu Bao to Yan Marquis Prefecture."

There was no need for her legitimate younger sister to say it; Qin He had the same thought. She could not sit still, called Fu Bao close, and instructed: "Fu Bao, Rong Wang Prefecture's young heir Rong Chi has gone to Yan Marquis Prefecture. You go too. You are Yan Marquis's legitimate young lady; Yan Marquis Prefecture still has a courtyard for you."
