Chapter 369: The Heir Apparent of a Powerful Official Likes You

Qin Yan pouted and said, "The Heir Apparent Rong used to be very generous."

"Yeah, how did he become so stingy?"

"If the Heir Apparent Rong just let a little bit slip through his fingers, it would be enough for us to use."

One by one, they sat down, deflated and looking dejected; they had all planned out how to distribute the resources the Heir Apparent Rong would send.

Qin He was also in a bad mood. She got up and went to the Second Branch. Her younger sister followed her back, complaining incessantly. She just couldn't understand it; the Marquis Manor and the Heir Apparent Rong had a very good relationship, so why didn't he send any resources this time?

Thinking that the Heir Apparent Rong had only gone to the High-Grade Beast Realm small space for two days this time, it wasn't as profitable as the Beast Realm small space he went to two years ago, but still, he just needed to let a little bit slip through his fingers.

Qin Han followed her to the Second Branch. In the small parlor, Qin Han sat down and said, "It wouldn't be because of Qin Bi, would it?!"

Because they didn't get what they wanted, they started guessing wildly.

"How is that possible?" Qin He's younger sister exclaimed, "How could Qin Bi have such great ability? The Heir Apparent Rong only married her because of his fate of being a wife-killer and childless. Qin Bi cannot influence the Heir Apparent Rong's decisions."

Qin Han also felt that Qin Bi didn't have this ability. Even a merchant like Jiang Mo looked down on Qin Bi, let alone the dashing and spirited Heir Apparent Rong.

Qin Han sighed, "Sigh, I originally wanted to get some resources from the Heir Apparent Rong to take back for my husband and children. Now that my husband and children can practice cultivation, they are very short of cultivation resources."

"Entering the path of cultivation is the most difficult step. Only after entering can one officially practice."

Speaking of cultivation resources, Qin Han looked at Qin He.

Qin He wasn't short of resources. Noticing Qin Han's gaze, Qin He stammered, "I also want to give you beast crystals and such, but I was sick a while ago and used up quite a lot of things to recover. I'm sorry, Qin Han, I'm not well-off either. When there's a chance to go to the Beast Realm small space, how about I call you, or I'll pick a few things for you after I collect them."

Which meant she didn't have any to give right now. Qin Han twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's nothing, your health is what matters. If there are no cultivation resources, then so be it. Our Fourth Branch can't rely on anyone, so I can only look to you, Qin He, for cultivation."

Qin Han wanted to tell Qin He that they had a good relationship, and if there were any benefits, Qin He should think of her. She was dependent on Qin He, and Qin Han didn't mind telling Qin He that she was willing to serve her.

Qin Han's husband and children both needed cultivation resources, and as the Xue Shizifei, Qin He just needed to let a little bit slip through her fingers.

Qin Han wasn't greedy; she just needed Qin He to let a tiny bit slip through her fingers.

Qin He didn't want to appear useless. She had lost face in front of everyone in the Marquis Manor today. Her status in the entire Qin Yan Hou Fu was not low, and she had always been pampered by the younger generation of the Marquis Manor.

Having lost face today, Qin He had to make up for it, "It would be better if the Heir Apparent He went to the Beast Realm small space. My relationship with the Heir Apparent Rong is not bad, but compared to my friendship with the Heir Apparent He, it is ultimately a bit lacking. The Heir Apparent He might not be at my beck and call, but he puts me first in everything."

"If it were the Heir Apparent He who went to the Beast Realm small space, why would I need to open my mouth to ask? He would have already given me all the good things he collected, and I would definitely send you some resources."

"The Heir Apparent Rong... after marriage, it's ultimately different."

Perhaps it was because of Qin Bi, perhaps not. Qin He's tone at the end was very low, leaving it for others to guess.

Qin Bi couldn't influence the Heir Apparent Rong, but since the Heir Apparent Rong didn't send anything to anyone this time, it was hard to say it had nothing to do with Qin Bi. As long as everyone thought so, Qin Bi would be disliked.

Qin He felt that she and the Heir Apparent Rong and the Heir Apparent He were childhood sweethearts, and in the Heir Apparent Rong's eyes, she was also different. Yet, today, the Heir Apparent Rong didn't give her any face at all.

Qin He let out a long breath, feeling depressed and in a bad mood.

She didn't like Qin Bi. Ever since Qin Bi got married, her own luck had been bad.

Taking a deep breath, Qin He was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Bi.

Qin He's younger sister really took it to heart and said angrily, "Marrying Qin Bi is not as good as choosing one from the other sisters in the Marquis Manor. Marrying any other sister would be better than Qin Bi. Her marriage has been dragged on, and she's already too old."

What Qin He's younger sister didn't say was that Qin Bi was not worthy of the Heir Apparent Rong. The Heir Apparent Rong was the heir of a powerful official, and many noble ladies from aristocratic families were looking forward to marrying such an heir.

Qin Bi was simply not worthy of the Heir Apparent Rong. Why did the Heir Apparent Rong have to marry Qin Bi? It was infuriating.

"Sigh," Qin He sighed, "If it weren't for the fate of being a wife-killer and childless, the Yan Guogong Fu would be mine."

Qin He's younger sister also sighed, "Yeah, if it weren't for that fate, the two heirs of powerful officials would have nothing to do with Qin Bi. Being a concubine's daughter, what right does she have to become a Shizifei?"

There were no outsiders here, only Qin He's little followers, so Qin He spoke more boldly, showing off, "Regardless, even if I couldn't marry him, the Heir Apparent He still likes me and can do anything for me."

Qin He's younger sister believed this deeply, and Qin Han couldn't help but feel a bit envious. She secretly glanced at Qin He—she was pretty and her appearance was okay, not exactly stunning, but Qin He had good fortune. She knew how to earn money herself and had earned quite a lot before she was married.

If the two heirs of powerful officials didn't have the fate of being wife-killers and childless, Qin He would be more than just a Xue Shizifei; she could be the wife of an heir of a powerful official, a Shizifei, all of it was possible. This was truly not Qin He bragging.

Qin Han couldn't help but admire this level of fortune and luck.

"Qin He," Qin Han said, "You are still the best; the heirs of powerful officials all like you."

Qin He felt comfortable hearing this, and the shame and annoyance in her heart were reduced by more than half.

A few people gathered together to belittle Qin Bi, Qin He puffed herself up, and Qin Han and Qin He's younger sister flattered her. By the time they left, Qin He was in a great mood.

Qin Han saw Qin He off from the Marquis Manor and walked back with Qin He's younger sister, only then feeling burdened again.

She had come for the resources sent by the Heir Apparent Rong, but she didn't expect the Heir Apparent Rong to send nothing to the younger generation of the Marquis Manor. Her whole family needed to practice cultivation; what were they supposed to do without resources?

Qin Han returned to the Fourth Branch to see He Shi.

He Shi was drinking tea in the main parlor, talking to the nanny beside her. Qin Han said, "Mother, can you give me one of your spirit poultry ducks? My whole family has no cultivation resources."

He Shi raised her eyes, "Go ask Qin Bi. The spirit poultry ducks of your father and me are raised on Rongyang's estate. Come to think of it, they were also sent by Qin Bi. It's not appropriate for me to pass them on to you."

Qin Han didn't want to go find Qin Bi, "Jiang Mo and Qin Bi had discussed marriage before, I don't want to go ask Qin Bi Jiejie for things."

He Shi drank a sip of tea, and after a while, said, "On this matter, I am biased toward you and set up the marriage with the Jiang family. Let's not mention the past. Qin Bi is already married. As for the spirit poultry ducks, it's not easy for me to give them to you. Qin Han, you and Qin Bi are both concubine daughters of the Fourth Branch, and to me, you are the same. It's not good to be too partial."

Qin Han didn't agree; He Shi was clearly more partial to Qin Bi. ===== CHAPTER 370 =====
