Chapter 463
Even if Qin Tang and Qin Xun were biased, they wouldn't let Qin Han see it.
With this full table, it was no wonder Qin Han's expression changed.
It would be fine if she didn't mind, and if she were generous and didn't care that Qin Bi's side had more and richer dishes. But Qin Han's expression clearly showed she was minding it; she didn't even have a smile on her face.
Qin Lang was unhappy: "It's my own money, and my father also gives me money to buy more good food for Qin Bi Jiejie's children. I kept buying and it just accumulated. Is Qin Han comparing herself? My family has always been close to Qin Bi Jiejie; she followed our family to the post for several years, and my parents treat Qin Bi Jiejie as their own child. Qin He can't compare. I buy good things when I see them; should I stop buying them just to make Qin Han happy?"
Qin Lang was happy to buy a lot; what was Qin Han anyway!
For the sake of face, everyone would say the younger generation of the Marquis Manor were all the same. Just saying that, could they really be the same? The Third Branch definitely treated Qin Bi and Qin Han differently. Only those who couldn't see clearly would mind these things.
Of course, Qin Lang said this, and only then did Jiang Shi know that the Third Branch had spent the money on the things bought.
Qin Lang followed to the Spiritual Plant Street, and Qin Tan knew about it and gave Qin Lang a money bag. Qin Lang had crystals and bought whatever he saw. He wasn't stingy toward Qin Bi, and Qin Tang didn't stop Qin Lang from buying things; they each bought their own.
To be honest, Qin Lang spent more crystals than Qin Tang. After all, Qin Tan was a county magistrate who had passed the imperial examinations, and the Great Yan Emperor was also a blessed monarch; the salary was not low, and the Fourth Branch couldn't compare.
Qin Di gave Qin Tang silver and crystals, and Qin Tang also subsidized quite a bit.
Jiang Shi only learned this after hearing Qin Lang say it. Qin Han didn't know who spent the silver and crystals; she must have thought these were all bought with the Fourth Branch's silver, and since it was the Fourth Branch's silver, she and Qin Bi should be the same.
Yet there was favoritism; this table was very sumptuous, while the other table was much worse.
She brought her children to the Marquis Manor, and they were told to sit at another table. Qin Han must have been dissatisfied. Everyone knew how to read expressions, and Qin Han's expression was not good.
"Qin Han doesn't know you spent the money." Jiang Shi said: "She must be unhappy."
Qin Lang didn't care. He picked up a piece of spicy spiritual poultry duck meat, saw it was a good piece, and transferred it to Rong Yang's small plate. He had a very good relationship with his little nephew.
"Jiu Fu." Rong Yang said: "I have some."
Qin Bi also said: "The spicy duck legs and such are all kept for Rong Yang; you eat your own."
"Rong Yang, eat more." Qin Lang was thirsty, poured tea, and continued talking to Jiang Shi: "Minding such a small thing. You Fourth Branch elders are all married and have your own small families, and you have your own considerations for social interactions. Qin Han really has too many issues. Qin Bi Jiejie is welcomed when she comes to her maternal home, and it's also because she gives a lot. Rong Shizi also takes care of the Marquis Manor; this is all sentiment. Who is like Qin Han, who comes running to open her mouth and ask every time she hears there are spiritual vegetables or spiritual poultry? After so many times, doesn't she feel embarrassed herself?"
Pausing, Qin Lang drank some tea and said: "Besides, the spiritual vegetables and spiritual poultry Qin Han asks for are all given to the maternal family by Qin Bi Jiejie. Even if Qin Han comes to ask, she should remember Qin Bi Jiejie's favor. But she, on the contrary, in order not to owe a favor, only says she asked the maternal family for them, never mentioning that they were given to the maternal family by Qin Bi Jiejie. Qin Han is very shrewd; she looks honest but is full of little schemes, even worse than that troublemaker Qin He."
In the Third and Fourth Branches, everyone knew Qin He was hard to get along with, and Qin Han's personality was steady, so He Shi was also at ease with Qin Han. But in fact, what kind of things had Qin Han done in the last two years?
Her abacus beads were practically jumping onto her forehead.
Qin Lang hadn't noticed before that Qin Han was very pretentious and had many little schemes.
Jiang Shi was helpless and explained to Qin Bi: "Qin Han has a bit of an intention to compare herself with you."
"I give Mother spiritual poultry duck and spiritual vegetables." Qin Bi patiently peeled a duck head to feed Rong Yang and chuckled lightly upon hearing this: "She can compare herself; I don't mind if Qin Han gives more. It would be better if she could give an immortal pill. If Qin Han gives more and Mother dotes on her more, I will absolutely not be sour in my heart like her, dissatisfied with Mother's slighting, or complaining that Mother is biased."
Jiang Shi: "..."
Excuse me, Qin Han even has to ask the maternal family for a single spiritual vegetable; how could she possibly take out an immortal pill? What kind of talk is this? If Qin Han really had an immortal pill, it would be for her husband and children.
Give it to He Shi? Jiang Shi felt it was unlikely.
Speaking of this, Jiang Shi took a handkerchief and tugged at her son to give up his seat. The child stood up to eat; he wasn't full yet. The child thought his mother would leave after talking for a while, otherwise he would have given up his seat earlier.
There weren't many stools in Qin Bi's courtyard, not enough for everyone to sit.
Jiang Shi sat down, sighed, and said: "Qin Han, I don't know what she's thinking. Comparing herself to anyone else would be fine, but in the path of cultivation, she actually compares herself to Father and Mother. She envies Father and Mother for not having to go to the Beast Realm's small space to collect cultivation resources. Qin Han is very wary of the dangers of the Beast Realm's small space. Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren can clearly cultivate, but Qin Han just doesn't want to let them go to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and collect cultivation resources."
Qin Han's plans were really unclear.
Qin Bi held the child and fed him duck meat, speechless. Qin Lang put down his teacup in surprise. Why didn't Qin Di and He Shi have to go to the Beast Realm's small space? Because there were Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Bi; they would share cultivation resources with their parents.
Qin Bi gave her parents spiritual poultry duck and spiritual vegetables. With these, the Qin Di couple didn't have to go to the Beast Realm's small space. What did Qin Han have? If she didn't go to the Beast Realm's small space and didn't let her husband and children go, there would be no cultivation resources.
If one has spiritual roots but doesn't cultivate, wouldn't one be a waste?
Does Qin Han have a hole in her brain? No, it's just that she's dreaming, a spoiled habit. Because the Fourth Branch's life wasn't well-off in the early years and Jiang Mo took care of Qin Han's maternal family, Qin Han had confidence.
Qin Han, like Qin He, didn't treat herself as an outsider and thought she could take things from her maternal family. But she forgot that the spiritual poultry duck and spiritual vegetables were all given to the maternal family by Qin Bi; it wasn't appropriate for Qin Han to take them.
"Sigh." Jiang Shi sighed: "Jiang Mo takes good care of our Fourth Branch."
Qin Bi curled her lips: "When the Marquis Manor and the Jiang family discussed marriage, if the Jiang family hadn't been wealthy, they wouldn't have been able to climb up to a Marquis Manor young lady. The two families married, wasn't it because they valued the Jiang family's wealth and foundation?"
As a result, it was a broken merchant family, and Qin Han actually competed with her for it.
Since she competed for it, Qin Han shouldn't feel that her husband's family taking care of her maternal family was a favor. When He Shi chose a merchant family for her concubine-born daughter, she valued the Jiang family's wealth and foundation, which could take care of the legitimate son and the Fourth Branch a bit.
The good thing about He Shi's treatment of the concubine-born was that she chose Jiang Mo, who had both good looks and character.
Jiang Mo was scholarly and handsome; He Shi could be considered to have put in effort.
Jiang Mo married a Marquis Manor young lady, which could be considered climbing high, relying on the Marquis Manor. As a result, Qin Han actually felt that because Jiang Mo took care of her maternal family, her maternal family owed her. If she had the ability, she should break ties; but Qin Han didn't want to break ties.
