Chapter 409: Then Let Qin He Wait

Little Tuanzi showed a thoughtful look. She wasn't that insistent; she wanted to eat spiritual fruit.

High-grade spiritual fruit was the best to eat. He Bo Fu had clearly collected high-grade spiritual fruit from the Beast Realm's small space this time and gave it to Rong Chi to eat. If she didn't fight with Rong Yang and Rong Chi, could she also eat high-grade spiritual fruit?

Little Tuanzi regretted it a bit. She shouldn't have thrown a tantrum.

The imperial physician entered the room, took Qin He's pulse, and found no major illness; it was just stagnation of the heart.

After sending the imperial physician away, Xue Shizi came to the side of the couch and sat down: "Qin He, are you unhappy because He Shizi didn't give the things he collected from the Beast Realm's small space to Little Tuanzi?"

Qin He didn't speak at first, then shed tears: "He shouldn't have treated our Little Tuanzi so poorly. This is unfair."

Xue Shizi took a deep breath. Qin He was so aggrieved that the scales in his heart tilted. He sighed lightly: "I also feel that Little Tuanzi has suffered grievances, but you have to think it through. Rong Yang is He Shizi's biological child after all, and it's not easy for He Shizi to have a child."

"But Little Tuanzi was raised according to the treatment of the Yan Guogong Fu's legitimate daughter," Qin He said stubbornly, full of tears, leaning on the bed as tears rolled down her cheeks: "Just because he has a biological child, does he stop caring? What about Little Tuanzi's cultivation? Cultivation requires many, many cultivation resources. Shizi, don't you hope Little Tuanzi and the legitimate son have more good fortune and luck?"

Xue Shizi reached out and wiped away Qin He's tears, pitying Qin He for doing it all for Little Tuanzi and the legitimate son.

He also wanted Little Tuanzi and the legitimate son to have more cultivation resources, but Xue Shizi was clear that after the Yan Guogong Fu sent people to drive Little Tuanzi back last time, the people of the Yan Guogong Fu had already chosen Rong Yang.

"Our Xue Wang Fu's resources aren't bad either," Xue Shizi tried to make Qin He understand: "Raising her and then suddenly not caring is indeed unfair to our Little Tuanzi, but He Shizi is more biased toward his own biological child, and no one can pick any faults. Instead, it's us who keep clinging on. The noble families in the capital will laugh at the Xue Wang Fu behind our backs."

The Yan Guogong Fu treated Little Tuanzi like this, obviously for Rong Yang's sake. Even if they were jealous of the Yan Guogong Fu's powerful luck and good fortune, as a noble family, the Xue Wang Fu shouldn't lack even this bit of insight.

"Why laugh at us?" Qin He was angry: "Who would think like that? Too bad."

"What's important for you now is not to think about these things," Xue Shizi said: "Nurture your body well and don't be made a joke of by that cousin of yours, Qin Bi. You're ill, so she's the happiest."

Qin He gritted her teeth with hatred: "It's all her fault. How does she have the face to covet the things of the Yan Guogong Fu."

Xue Shizi also didn't like Qin Bi, but he had no interest in discussing how Qin Bi was. Now Qin Bi was Rong Shizi's wife and was no longer the Fourth Branch's concubine-born daughter who was forced away from the capital.

"You rest well," Xue Shizi stood up and left the room.

Outside, it was dry and cold. The sky was overcast, but there was no sign of rain, let alone snow. Xue Shizi stood on the veranda and smacked his lips. He didn't tell Qin He that several young masters were laughing at the Xue Wang Fu behind their backs.

The general meaning was that the person's biological child had returned to the manor, so they should be sensible and leave quickly.

As a result, Little Tuanzi not only didn't give up her position but also wanted to fight with He Shizi's biological child. This was a bit shameless. Xue Shizi gritted his teeth. It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry.

The general meaning was that since the biological child had returned to the manor, one should be tactful and leave quickly.

At this time, Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Rong Yang had almost finished harvesting the chili peppers. Qin Bi was very happy harvesting the spiritual vegetables these past two days. All the leaves and seedlings were harvested, and the red and green small chili peppers were particularly pleasing to the eye.

If it weren't for the unusual spiciness, Qin Bi would have taken the freshly picked small chili peppers and eaten them.

Rong Yang wasn't afraid of the spiciness. He took a small chili pepper and took a bite, hissing from the spice, then continued to eat. Rong Yang carried a small basket, spicy and spirited, happily picking chili peppers.

Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun were also in the chili pepper field, as well as the children of the Qin family's Fourth Branch.

They would finish picking today. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were also called over. They wouldn't have been embarrassed to come even if they didn't eat a single spiritual vegetable.

Worried that the Fourth Branch of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor would be looked down upon by Rong Shizi, they came over as soon as they harvested the spiritual vegetables. People would think you had the intention of wanting spiritual vegetables.

It was different when Qin Bi called Jiang Shi and Lin Shi over. Small chili peppers weren't like other spiritual vegetables. All the people harvesting were from the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi looked at the guards in the nearby farmland and were happy for Qin Bi's position in Rong Shizi's heart.

Lin Shi leaned closer to Qin Bi: "Do you know that Qin He is ill?"

"Isn't it because Qin He fell ill after Rong Yang said that He Shizi gave all the harvest to him?" Qin Bi smiled lightly: "Why, was she pretending at first? Now she's truly ill?"

Lin Shi and Jiang Shi both laughed. Lin Shi whispered and laughed: "She must have been pretending at first."

Qin Lang walked over: "Don't talk so quietly, I can't hear you."

Jiang Shi looked at Qin Yan not far away, Qin Tang and Qin Xun were also over there, and turned back. Only then did Jiang Shi say to Qin Lang: "We were talking about Qin He. Hasn't Qin He been ill for this period of time?"

Qin Lang also knew. It could be said that the whole Marquis Manor knew Qin He was ill.

Cui Shi of the Second Branch and the First Branch were discussing going to visit, but they hadn't gone yet.

Qin Lang was young and worried: "He Shizi won't send a pile of good things to Qin He again, will he? In the past, when Qin He was ill, He Shizi sent many precious medicinal materials and tonics."

Families look after their own. Lin Shi said: "We can't give our Rong Yang's things to Qin He."

Qin Bi laughed. Lin Shi protecting Rong Yang's things was just like the Second Branch making plans for Qin He. Each served their own master, and there was no right or wrong. Cui Shi protected Qin He, and He Shi protected her.

Lin Shi, as Qin Xun's wife, as a sister-in-law, naturally also protected Qin Bi.

"Then let Qin He wait," Qin Bi said with a smile.

Everyone stopped talking about Qin He and harvested the remaining small chili peppers.

Rong Yang was just a few meters away, biting a small chili pepper and continuing to harvest.

After harvesting, Qin Bi picked a small basket filled with small chili peppers. Qin Bi handed it to Qin Tang: "Take it back and share some with the eldest cousin. I won't give any more if there's a lot. We'll talk after you finish eating, so that no one will ask you for them and make things difficult."

Qin Tang felt that Qin Bi was referring to Qin Han.

Qin Tang nodded: "This is quite a lot."

Chili pepper spiritual vegetables were rare. Qin Tang didn't expect Qin Bi to give them. ===== CHAPTER 410 =====

Qin Tang nodded: "This is already quite a lot."

Chili spiritual vegetables were rare, and Qin Tang hadn't expected Qin Bi to give them.
