Chapter 460: I Am Truly Fortunate

Qin Bi naturally agreed: "Good, did Rong Chi make a fuss?"

Rong Yang said: "He was very well-behaved."

Qin Bi didn't believe it; Rong Chi was the best at making trouble. However, since people doted on him, it was fine that Rong Juan spoiled him, and Rong Yang spoiled him too. Now, with He Yan added, he made trouble with impunity.

For a powerful heir known for losing wives and having no children, Qin Bi knew the importance of a child; it was Rong Juan's life. He Yan was no exception, but why was He Yan so fortunate?

Qin Bi really wanted to seize an opportunity to destroy He Yan. Thinking back to the marriage of a second wife back then made her grind her teeth; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so angry that her heart and spirit were damaged, shortening her lifespan.

"Mother," Rong Yang called out.

Qin Bi smiled: "Play for a while, then we'll go back."

Never mind; currently, she had no power to move against He Yan. The gap in cultivation base made any thought of it futile. Besides, there was Qin He. Qin He had started cultivating early and possessed a system magic treasure; her cultivation base was also above Qin Bi's.

Why else did Qin He hold herself in such high regard? It was because her cultivation base was outstanding among her peers.

"Okay," Rong Yang said, lying on the table and watching the book Qin Bi had opened.

Rong Yang was only a little over one year old, yet the child made no fuss at all.

Qin Bi sighed: "I am truly fortunate."

"Why do you say that, Mother?" Rong Yang turned his head, looking at Qin Bi.

"A diviner once read my fate, saying I would have no children in this life." Qin Bi gently held the child, a soft little bun: "Rong Yang, having you and Rong Chi, Heaven has treated me well."

Therefore, if something could be overlooked, Qin Bi could overlook it.

Rong Yang stopped looking at the book and nestled in Qin Bi's arms. Qin Bi looked down and knew the child was sleepy. She reached out and gently patted him. Before long, Rong Yang fell asleep. Qin Lang came upstairs, and Qin Bi nodded her chin toward the bed.

Qin Lang walked to the bedside and took a small blanket for Qin Bi.

Qin Bi covered Rong Yang with the small blanket. Having cared for her nephew and niece before, she was skilled at raising children. In short, Qin Bi was very good with kids. Since Rong Yang was asleep, Qin Bi couldn't take him home in the middle of winter.

If a child caught a chill, it was easy for them to die young.

Qin Lang ran to tell He Shi: "Rong Yang is asleep. Sister will stay for dinner."

He Shi thought for a moment and instructed Qin Xun: "Go to the manor farm and catch a few spiritual ducks. Make spicy duck. When Rong Yang wakes up, it will be time to eat. Also, go to the Spiritual Plant Street and buy some spiritual food the child likes."

The Qin Yan Marquis Estate had just become a cultivation family; spiritual food was expensive and generally not bought for consumption. It was different now that Rong Yang was here. He Shi doted on Rong Yang especially. Qin Bi was her own daughter, so anything was fine; even if the food wasn't good, Qin Bi wouldn't say anything.

Qin Xun nodded, went to fetch Qin Tang to catch the spiritual ducks at the manor farm, while Qin Tang went to Spiritual Plant Street. Qin Lang followed, as he knew what the children liked to eat; he had a great relationship with Rong Yang.

After learning this, Rong Juan sent several rare seasonings over.

Qin Yan sent a few spiritual fruits to the Fourth Branch. Qin He hadn't left yet. Hearing this, she ordered someone to fetch Fu Bao from the Prince's Estate. Qin Bi was the Heir's Wife, and she was also the Heir's Wife. Qin Bi's child was precious, but her child was a First-Rank Little Princess officially titled by the Great Yan Emperor.

Qin He didn't say it, but she just wanted to compare who held more status in the Qin Yan Marquis Estate.

Qin Yan, helpless, sent someone to buy a few more spiritual fruits on Spiritual Plant Street and delivered them to the Second Branch. Qin He accepted them: "Fu Bao, look how much everyone dotes on you as a First-Rank Little Princess. Knowing you were coming, your Uncle, the Qin Heir, sent you spiritual fruits."

Fu Bao said proudly: "I am fortunate."

Cui Shi saw this but pretended not to know Qin He's intentions. At least they earned a few spiritual fruits. Let her compare; Qin He was still clever enough to share a spiritual fruit with Qin Yuan.

Even if Qin Yuan had no scheming nature, with Cui Shi as her legitimate mother present, Qin He still had to coax Qin Yuan.

Qin He called a maid over and whispered: "Go tell Qin Han that the Fourth Branch is eating spiritual food today."

The maid understood and immediately went to the shop to find Qin Han.

Jiang Shi supervised the cooking of the spiritual food in the kitchen. She told Lin Shi to watch the ingredients, checking for saltiness or blandness, and which ingredients paired well with the spiritual food. One couldn't just recklessly waste the spiritual food.

Jiang Shi entered the main hall and said to He Shi: "I'll go see if Rong Yang has woken up."

"Go ahead," He Shi waved her hand. "If he hasn't woken, the child needs someone nearby while sleeping. Ask Qin Bi; she can have the food brought to her courtyard to eat, so the child won't fuss when he wakes."

Jiang Shi nodded and went to Qin Bi's courtyard.

Upstairs, Qin Bi sat by the stove drinking tea.

Jiang Shi glanced at the bed and asked in a low voice: "Still not awake?"

Qin Bi shook her head: "No."

"Ask Qin Lang to stay and eat with you here," Jiang Shi said. "Mother said the child needs someone nearby while sleeping. Once lunch is ready, I'll have a portion brought to your courtyard."

Qin Bi then said: "Call my nephews and nieces over to eat together."

Jiang Shi thought for a moment, nodded, and left. When the spicy spiritual duck was ready, covered in a layer of chili, it looked mouth-watering. There was also roasted demon beast meat, fatty but not greasy, served with dipping sauce.

Dishes were brought to Qin Bi's courtyard one after another. Qin Tang and Qin Lang also returned, having bought quite a bit of delicious food. Qin Lang carried the food box directly to Qin Bi's courtyard, with the children following.

In the main hall of the Fourth Branch, Qin Xun invited Qin Tan and his wife over. Qin Di and He Shi welcomed them to their seats. They sat at one table. Zhu Shi asked about Qin Bi, learned that Qin Lang and the others were eating in Qin Bi's courtyard, so she didn't worry about it.

The courtyard of Qin Bi was already eating. Just as the main hall was about to start their meal, Qin Han arrived with her children.

He Shi: "..."

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi: "..."

She really knew how to time it for mealtime. Just as they were about to eat, Qin Han arrived.

Qin Di said: "Bring the children over to eat."

Jiang Shi also waved: "Jiang Ren, come sit here."

Qin Han put down the pastries she was carrying, washed her hands, and seated herself with her children. She glanced at the ingredients on the table and saw a plate of spicy spiritual duck. Qin Han used her chopsticks to pick some up for Jiang Ren and her younger brother.

There were no children at this table; only Jiang Ren and her younger brother were kids. So Qin Han didn't hesitate to look for spicy duck legs, spicy duck heads, spicy duck wings, duck hearts, duck intestines, and so on.

Qin Han's chopstick skills were good, but when she searched the plate, there wasn't a single piece of spicy duck leg or the like.

Qin Han was puzzled inside, so she could only pick a piece of meaty spiritual duck for Jiang Ren. Jiang Ren had been craving it and immediately took a bite. Her younger brother ate in small bites.

Qin Tan glanced at Qin Han using her chopsticks to search for the good meat in the spicy duck but said nothing. Lin Shi saw this and thought, fine, she didn't need to serve Qin Han; the woman could serve herself.

Lin Shi also picked up a piece of spicy spiritual duck meat and placed it on He Shi's plate: "Mother, please taste. I was supervising the cooking."

He Shi graciously picked it up and ate it. Qin Han felt a pang of guilt and asked: "Where is Sister Qin Bi? Didn't she come to the Marquis Estate?"

"Rong Yang is asleep," Jiang Shi answered. "She is eating in her own courtyard."

Qin Bi's face instantly changed. All the good dishes had gone to Qin Bi.
