Chapter 361

Xue He Shizi had just returned from outside, pulled a stool to sit by the bedside, where Qin He was still recovering from illness.

Qin He was extremely indignant; since crossing over, she had never been so humiliated. Being thrown out of Yan Guogong Prefecture by Rong Juan was an unbearable disgrace, and Qin He remained deeply aggrieved in her heart, still feeling unwell.

He He Shizi cursing Rong Juan was not enough to quell the hatred in Qin He's heart.

Xue He Shizi had originally wanted to chat with Qin He about delicious food; hearing this, he did not think Qin He was vicious.

Qin He, having suffered grievances before, attributed Rong Juan throwing her out of Yan Guogong Prefecture to Qin Bi, believing Qin Bi had instigated the child to do so; Qin He was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Bi.

At this moment, she was speaking out of anger.

Xue He Shizi was fiddling with a summoning magic treasure he had just bought from a Neng Neng Shi; Qin He could condense summoning magic treasures, but she preferred doing business and opening shops.

Xue He Shizi sighed: "Alas, it is difficult. Rong He Shizi is one of the two powerful ministers' sons in Great Yan. Great Yan's fortune is currently high; Rong He Shizi is unlikely to encounter fierce high-grade demonic beasts."

Injury? That was even less something to speak of.

Qin He was speaking out of anger, and Xue He Shizi did not mind.

If Rong He Shizi truly brought a woman back from the small space of the demonic beast realm, it would not be a good thing for Qin Yan Hou Fu; only if a daughter of the Qin family firmly held the position of Rong He Shizi's wife would the relationship be unbreakable.

It was fine for Qin He to speak out of anger, but if such a situation truly occurred, even Xue He Shizi would have a headache.

Qin He, unwilling to accept it, said: "Just let some Bai Lianhua come along to disgust Qin Bi, that would be fine."

Thinking this was a world of cultivation, Qin He viciously cursed that a woman would appear by Rong He Shizi's side, preferably a destined one who had been sought across several lifetimes.

Moreover, she would be a genius of the immortal sect, beautiful as a fairy, with high cultivation base and backed by an immortal sect.

Rong He Shizi's heart and eyes would be full of another woman, leaving nothing for Qin Bi.

Xue He Shizi reminded Qin He: "Did you forget the female general from back then?"

That woman at the time was a female general who fought side by side with Rong He Shizi on the battlefield, yet Rong He Shizi showed no tenderness or pity; that female general did not disrupt Rong He Shizi's marital relationship.

Instead, she was killed.

Trying to scheme for another woman by Rong He Shizi's side seemed unworkable.

There was no other reason; Rong He Shizi valued children the most.

How much Rong He Shizi doted on his children was obvious to all; they were the very tip of his heart.

With Rong Juan by her side, no single woman could shake Qin Bi's position.

There was no other reason; if Qin Bi were harmed, Rong Juan's position as the young heir would not be secure, and it was uncertain whether the child could even be raised. Rong He Shizi, who doted on his children so much, would absolutely not allow such a woman to exist.

Speaking of children, Qin He, who had originally been lying listlessly on the bed, immediately felt her anger surge; she suddenly gained a bit of spirit, her eyes filled with rage as she stared fixedly at one spot in anger.

Qin He hammered the quilt hard: "That is just a little green tea; he definitely does not resemble Rong He Shizi."

Rong He Shizi was full of nobility, wearing fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, handsome beyond compare; as a powerful minister's son who was undefeated in battle in Great Yan, he was, in Qin He's heart, a character like the male lead, having nothing to do with green tea.

Xue He Shizi pressed his lips, wanting to laugh; that child was indeed very mischievous: "Little green tea? That is going too far. Rong Juan is just a bit noisy; how can you call him a little green tea?"

"Why are you still speaking up for Qin Bi's child?" Qin He, whose slight spirit had just risen, was angered by these words and felt a heaviness in her chest: "What do you mean by 'a bit noisy'? He is full of tea-like cunning."

Qin He grew angrier, and her chest felt uncomfortable.

Xue He Shizi helplessly said: "What Qin Bi's child? That is also Rong He Shizi's child. Rong He Shizi and I are close friends. You and Qin Bi may have a poor sisterly relationship, but you cannot harm the child. Rong Juan, that child, is still very likable."

"Whether he is Rong He Shizi's child is hard to say." Qin He blurted out without thinking; she thought viciously in her heart that if Rong Juan were not Rong He Shizi's child, Qin Bi would have a hard time.

Xue He Shizi stopped smiling: "You and Qin Bi can quarrel however you like, but do not say such words in the future. Rong He Shizi and I are close friends, but if you slander the young heir Rong Juan, Rong He Shizi will come straight to our door to kill."

Qin He, furious, said: "I will say it."

Xue He Shizi also became angry, stood up, and left with a sweep of his sleeve.

Previously, Xue He Shizi thought only that Qin He was good in every way; although she was a concubine-born daughter and her background was somewhat lacking, Qin He was considered as calm as an orchid among the young ladies of the various prefectures, making people like her.

But such reckless speech was a major taboo in noble families.

Concubine-born, indeed, was still a bit lacking; this was the first time Xue He Shizi had such a thought.

Qin He was still angry and sent someone to summon her legitimate sisters to come play.

Bringing up Rong He Shizi, Qin Yan said enviously: "Previously, when Rong He Shizi went to the small space of the demonic beast realm, he collected many things, such as high-grade demonic beast crystals and heavenly treasures. This time, who knows what good things he will find."

Because Rong He Shizi was generous, whenever he returned from a trip to the small space of the demonic beast realm, he would toss some demonic beast crystals and other items, as well as medicinal herbs, to the young people of Qin Yan Hou Fu.

Qin He still felt angry, so she said: "It would be best if he brought a woman back to annoy Qin Bi."

Qin Han frowned; the four branches of the family rose and fell together; if Qin Bi lost her status, it would not benefit her.

Among the young ladies of Hou Fu, someone's eyes flickered; if a woman were brought back and not cursed to death, perhaps, perhaps... she could also be considered, as everyone coveted the position of He Shizi's wife.

Who did not want to sit in that lofty position of the powerful minister's wife?

After several young ladies of Hou Fu returned to Qin Yan Hou Fu, some minds became active; when they gathered, they would occasionally chuckle softly and discuss in low voices: "What should we do if he really brings a woman back?"

"It would be better to select another He Shizi's wife from our Hou Fu." Someone considered the interests of Hou Fu.

Those without betrothals had ideas, while those with betrothals considered things more deeply.

If the position of He Shizi's wife fell into others' hands, it would be better to select another from Hou Fu.

These words hit the mark for those with ulterior motives; they wanted to hear exactly this.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi heard this and were extremely angry, but they also felt somewhat worried; for a handsome man like Rong He Shizi, who wore fine clothes and rode a spirited horse, being noticed by women when going out was nothing unusual.

If he truly brought one back, Qin Bi's recently restored lifespan could not withstand the anger.

Qin Tang looked at the sky: "I wonder how the fortune of our fourth branch is?"

If the fortune was powerful, there would be no accidents.

Who could know? With low cultivation base, and not being a Xuan Shi, a Shu Shi, nor someone from an immortal sect, one could not see the fortune or the level of blessings; these common mortals could not tell.

Qin Lang also became worried, as if he had something on his mind.

Qin Tan returned home once and, seeing this, asked: "What is wrong? You look so preoccupied."

Qin Lang voiced his worries and added: "Actually, it is unlikely he will bring a woman back, but I am just worried. My sister can no longer withstand anger. Last time, He He Shizi's mention of taking a parallel wife caused my sister's lifespan to be damaged; it was not easy to recover!"
