Chapter 386: Such High Fortune Value

Qin He knew well that Rong He Shizi was the most powerful among the powerful.

She ran over to say that this fortune belonged to her as well; if she provoked Rong He Shizi...

Qin He dared not think about it. Regarding Rong He Shizi, Qin He had always been afraid. Sometimes, when Rong He Shizi was in a good mood, Qin He would show off her talent as a learned lady, testing the waters with her words.

However, regarding this fortune, no matter how Qin He thought about it, she felt she had a share in it.

"System," Qin He asked, "Is there any of my fortune among these fortunes?"

If it wasn't her fortune, Qin He wouldn't care to fight for it.

After a while, the System answered excitedly, "There is a cluster of fortune from Qin Yan Hou Fu; it should be your fortune."

Qin He straightened her back immediately. See, she had said there was her fortune. She possessed max-level fortune value; with such high fortune value, how could her fortune be poor? She glanced again at the vegetable seedlings in the fields; they were all her doing.

There were merchants and commoners from the fiefdom nearby. Qin He hesitated for a moment, then said to Qin Han, "Among these fortune clusters, one belongs to Qin Yan Hou; it should be mine, brought by my max-level fortune value."

Qin Han was surprised, showing a hint of delight, "There is fortune from our Qin Yan Hou Fu?"

Qin He nodded, "Yes."

Qin He's legitimate sister became attentive, circling outside the fields to find the fortune cluster of Qin Yan Hou Fu. Among the onlookers nearby, someone heard Qin He's words and glanced at her.

This person wondered inwardly, if it is your fortune that brought this, why don't you enter the fields?

People from Xue Wang Fu and Qin Yan Hou Fu were frantically planting vegetables in the rain, yet you stand outside the fields. What does that mean? Several people whispered to each other, very confused, and others overheard.

Qin He let them look at her; she had condensed a defensive shield, so the rain didn't touch her.

Qin He's legitimate sister and the others crowded close to Qin He. Compared to ordinary people, Qin He and her group displayed their identities as cultivators. The crowd felt curiosity, along with a bit of wariness.

Qin He looked composed on the surface, but her heart was anxious. How could she claim it was her fortune?

She was somewhat afraid of provoking Rong He Shizi's displeasure, yet the title of the rain brought by fortune was too grand. How could Qin He bear to hand over her merit to others? Even if only a small part of the fortune was hers, she had merit.

Her legitimate sister returned through the rain; she hadn't seen the fortune cluster of Qin Yan Hou Fu.

Qin He pulled her legitimate sister and said, "Go tell the people of Xue Wang Fu that I wish to see Rong He Shizi."

Qin He's legitimate sister agreed without hesitation, not even thinking about why Qin He didn't go herself. The sister found a personal guard and relayed the message; the guard passed the words to Rong He Shizi's attendant.

"Who is it?" Rong Juan stood with his hands behind his back.

"The Princess Consort of Xue Wang Fu requests an audience with the Young Master," the attendant said.

Rong Juan said nothing, his eyes fixed on the vegetable planting in the rain.

The attendant waited quietly nearby. After a while, Rong Juan said, "Go tell Qin He Shizi of Qin Yan Hou Fu."

The attendant went to find Qin Yan; Qin Tan and the others were also present.

"The illegitimate daughter of the second branch of Qin Yan Hou Fu, Qin He, wishes to see our Young Master," the attendant said. "The Young Master ordered me to tell Qin He Shizi."

"What does Qin He want again?" Qin Xun chuckled, "Could it be that seeing the heavy rain, she has come eagerly to snatch credit again? This rain seems to have nothing to do with our Qin Yan Hou Fu; it was the fortune of the Little Prince, Qin Bi, and Rong Yuan that brought the rain."

Qin Yan frowned; regarding this, he found it hard to speak ill of Qin He.

"Her," Qin Tan said, "is always good at snatching things with empty words."

"Qin Yan, come with me to see Qin He." Qin Tan stepped forward and walked off.

Causing trouble, Qin Yan followed.

Qin He was still calculating in her heart how to tell Rong He Shizi about her fortune, looking forward eagerly. Instead, what she got was Qin Yan and her third uncle, Qin Tan. Qin He's legitimate sister also blinked.

"Third Uncle, Eldest Cousin, why have you come?" Qin He asked. "I wish to see Rong He Shizi."

Qin Tan did not answer, asking instead, "What do you want to see Rong He Shizi for?"

Qin He did not say, "I have something to say to Rong He Shizi."

Qin Tan narrowed his eyes. Qin Han's heart skipped a beat; Qin He's words were strange and easy to misinterpret. The several young ladies from noble families accompanying them also looked inquisitively; Qin He's words were somewhat inappropriate.

"Rong He Shizi has no time to see you," Qin Yan said. "If you have something to say, tell me."

"What I wish to discuss with Rong He Shizi is the matter of fortune," Qin He said, her face serious. She had probably sensed the strange looks from others. With a stern face, she said, "It is very important; I still wish to discuss it with Rong He Shizi."

"Qin He," Qin Yan emphasized his tone, "Rong He Shizi has no time to see you."

Qin He felt uneasy; she knew to fear Qin Yan's anger.

Biting her lip, Qin He said, "It is fine to tell Third Uncle and Eldest Cousin. The fortune that brought this heavy rain includes the fortune of our Qin Yan Hou Fu; I feel that portion of the fortune should be mine."

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Tan: "..."

They had guessed it was exactly this matter; they hadn't expected it to be true.

"It has nothing to do with you," Qin Tan said. "Go back."

Having said this, Qin Yan and Qin Tan ignored Qin He and returned to the fields.

Qin He was left standing there. The surrounding crowd whispered, unable to help but look at her. At first, they really thought what she said was true, but since Qin He Shizi was too lazy to even pay attention to her, it was clear that wasn't the case.

Someone couldn't help but laugh, "Snatching credit."

"Who is this?"

"Didn't you hear her say she is from Qin Yan Hou Fu?"

"Since Qin He Shizi won't even acknowledge her, it's clear the fortune has nothing to do with her."

"Eagerly coming over, it's hilarious."

"Isn't it hilarious? When she was in the city, this lady claimed it was her fortune."

Qin He's face turned red with shame. Now she truly had no face to stay. If Qin Yan Hou Fu didn't acknowledge it as her fortune, saying anything was useless. If she stayed any longer, people would only point and criticize.

Qin He's legitimate sister also lowered her head, her face flushed from what people were saying.

As Qin He Shizi of Qin Yan Hou Fu, if Qin Yan said it wasn't Qin He's fortune, then it truly wasn't Qin He's fortune. It was too shameful, making them look like they snatched at any merit, shameless and without dignity.

Qin Han even covered her face with a handkerchief, "Let's go; people are laughing at us."

Qin He and the others hurriedly followed Qin Han away. How embarrassed they felt was beyond words. They were all young ladies from noble families; how could they not care about their dignity? Qin He's legitimate sister never expected that Qin He's sister had spoken so confidently about it being her fortune, only for it to turn out not to be.

Qin He's legitimate sister had never been so ashamed; her steps were hurried and frantic.

The crowd glanced over, and someone said, "She has no face to stay here any longer."

"She should have left long ago; running here just to seek attention."

"That is the Princess of Xue Wang Fu."

"What? I heard she is a talented lady. How do you know she is the Princess of Xue Wang Fu?"

"When she was in Jingcheng, she claimed it was her luck and introduced herself as the Princess of Xue Wang Fu."

Hearing that Qin He had come again to steal credit, Qin Lang scattered coriander seeds and ran to find Qin Bi, chattering and repeating everything to her. The young prince was right there, listening, and found it all somewhat unbelievable.
