Chapter 386
Qin He knew deep down that the Heir Apparent Rong was the most noble among the noble.
If she ran over to say this fortune had a share of hers, and if she were to annoy the Heir Apparent Rong...
Qin He dared not think about it; she had always been very fearful of the Heir Apparent Rong. Sometimes, when she felt the Heir Apparent Rong was in a good mood, she would show off that she was a talented woman and probe him with her words.
However, no matter how she thought about this fortune, she felt she had a share in it.
"System," Qin He asked, "is my fortune among these fortunes?"
If there was no fortune of hers, Qin He would not be keen to fight for it.
After a good while, the system replied excitedly: "There is a cluster of fortune from the Qin Yan Hou Manor; it should be your fortune."
Qin He straightened her back all at once. See? She had said there was her fortune. She had a max-level blessing value, so with such a high blessing value, how could her fortune be bad? Looking at the vegetable seedlings in the field again, this was all her credit.
With merchants and fiefdom commoners nearby, Qin He hesitated for a moment and said to Qin Han, "Among these fortune clusters, one belongs to Qin Yan Hou; it should be mine, brought about by my max-level blessing value."
Qin Han was surprised, revealing a hint of pleasant surprise: "There is fortune from our Qin Yan Hou Manor?"
Qin He nodded: "Yes."
Qin He's younger sister took it to heart, circling around outside the farmland, wanting to find the Qin Yan Hou Manor's fortune cluster. Among the onlookers nearby, someone heard Qin He's words and sized her up.
This person was puzzled: since it was brought by your fortune, why don't you go into the farmland?
The people from the Rong Prince Manor and the Qin Yan Hou Manor were all rushing to plant vegetables in the rain, yet you are standing outside the farmland—what is the meaning of this? Several people whispered to each other, very confused, and others also caught an earful.
Qin He let people look at her; she had condensed a defensive barrier, so the rain could not touch her.
Qin He's younger sisters were all huddled together with her. Compared to ordinary people, Qin He and the others all displayed their identities as cultivators, making everyone curious and also a bit wary.
Qin He put on a good front, but she was anxious inside; how was she to say it was her fortune?
She was somewhat afraid of displeasing the Heir Apparent Rong, but the rain brought by the fortune had too big a name. How could Qin He be willing to hand over her credit to others? Even if it was only a little bit of her fortune, she still had credit.
Her younger sister returned through the rain; she had not seen the Qin Yan Hou Manor's fortune.
Qin He pulled her younger sister and said: "Go tell the people of the Rong Prince Manor that I want to see the Heir Apparent Rong."
Qin He's younger sister agreed without hesitation, not even thinking about why Qin He didn't go say it herself. The younger sister found a personal guard and told him, and the guard passed the message to the Heir Apparent Rong's attendant.
"Who is it?" Rong Juan stood with his hands behind his back.
"The Xue Prince Manor's Heir Apparent Consort requests to see the Heir Apparent," the attendant said.
Rong Juan did not speak, his eyes fixed on the vegetable planting in the rain.
The attendant waited quietly to the side. After a good while, Rong Juan said: "Go tell the Heir Apparent Qin of the Qin Yan Hou Manor."
The attendant went to find Qin Yan; Qin Tan and the others were also there.
"The second branch's concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Hou Manor, Qin He, wants to see our Heir Apparent," the attendant said. "He He Shizi Apparent ordered me to tell Heir Apparent Qin."
"What is Qin He here for again?" Qin Xun laughed: "Could it be that seeing this rain is heavy, she's come begging to steal the credit again? This rain doesn't seem to have anything to do with our Qin Yan Hou Manor; it was the rain brought by the Little Imperial Prince, Qin Bi, and Rong Yang's fortune."
Qin Yan frowned; regarding this, it was hard to speak about Qin He.
"Her," Qin Tan said: "She's used to grabbing things with empty words."
"Qin Yan, come with me to see Qin He." Qin Tan stepped out and left.
Causing trouble, Qin Yan followed.
Qin He was still calculating in her heart how to tell the Heir Apparent Rong that her fortune was involved, looking forward to it, but the result was that she waited for Qin Yan and her third uncle, Qin Tan. Qin He's younger sister also blinked.
"Third Uncle, Eldest Cousin, why are you here?" Qin He said: "I want to see the Heir Apparent Rong."
Qin Tan did not answer, asking: "What do you want to see the Heir Apparent Rong for?"
Qin He did not say: "I have words to speak with the Heir Apparent Rong."
Qin Tan narrowed his eyes. Qin Han felt a thud in her heart; Qin He's words were strange and easily made people think too much. The few noble young ladies following also looked on with probing gazes; Qin He's words were a bit inappropriate.
"He He Shizi Apparent Rong has no time to see you," Qin Yan said. "You can tell me what you have to say."
"What I want to discuss with the Heir Apparent Rong is the matter of fortune." Qin He stiffened her face; she probably also sensed the strange looks from others, and with a straight face, she said: "It is very important; I had better discuss it with the Heir Apparent Rong."
"Qin He," Qin Yan deepened his tone: "He He Shizi Apparent Rong has no time to see you."
Qin He became uneasy; she also knew to be afraid when Qin Yan was angry.
Biting her lip, Qin He said: "It's fine to tell Third Uncle and Eldest Cousin. The fortune that brought this heavy rain has our Qin Yan Hou Manor's fortune in it, and I feel that that share of fortune should be mine."
Qin Yan: "..."
Qin Tan: "..."
They had guessed it was just like this; they didn't expect it to be true.
"It has nothing to do with you," Qin Tan said. "Go back."
After speaking, Qin Yan and Qin Tan ignored Qin He and returned to the farmland.
Qin He was left hanging there. The surrounding crowd whispered, unable to help but size Qin He up. At first, they really thought what she said was true, but since Heir Apparent Qin couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her, it was clear that wasn't the case.
Someone couldn't help but laugh: "Stealing credit."
"Who is this?"
"Didn't you hear her say it? Someone from the Qin Yan Hou Manor."
"Heir Apparent Qin doesn't even pay attention to her, so it's clear the fortune has nothing to do with her."
"Desperately trying to get close, it's hilarious."
"Isn't it hilarious? When in the city, this person said it was her fortune."
Qin He was red-faced; now she really had no face to stay any longer. The Qin Yan Hou Manor didn't even admit it was her fortune, so saying anything was useless. If she stayed any longer, she would only be pointed at.
Qin He's younger sister also lowered her head, blushing from what people were saying.
As the Heir Apparent of the Qin Yan Hou Manor, if Qin Yan said it wasn't Qin He's fortune, then it really wasn't. It was too embarrassing; it made them look like they would grab any credit they saw, shameless.
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 and left. They couldn't even mention how embarrassed they were inside. They were all noble young ladies; how could they not care about their reputation? Qin He's younger sister never expected that while Sister Qin He had been so certain it was her fortune, it turned out not to be.
Qin He's younger sister had never been so embarrassed before, her footsteps hurried.
The crowd took a look, and someone said: "They have no face to stay any longer."
"Should have left long ago, running here to seek attention."
"That's the Xue Prince Manor's Heir Apparent Consort."
"What? I heard she was a talented woman. How do you know she's the Xue Prince Manor's Heir Apparent Consort?"
"When in the city, she said it was her fortune and introduced herself as the Xue Prince Manor's Heir Apparent Consort."
Hearing that Qin He had come to steal credit again, Qin Lang scattered the coriander seeds and ran to find Qin Bi, chattering away to her. The Little Imperial Prince was right there, and even he found it unbelievable.
