Chapter 469: Isn't This Asking for It?

~9 min read 1,682 words

As soon as Qin He said this, Qin Han's eyes immediately lit up.

Qin Han looked at Qin He, and Qin He gave her a soothing look, chuckling lightly. If she went against her, Qin He, she certainly wouldn't let the Fourth Branch be happy. He Shi didn't even go to the Beast Realm's small space; eating so many spirit poultry and ducks, did she even understand what she was eating?

Qin He also wanted spirit poultry and ducks and hated He Shi for eating so many.

If so many spirit poultry and ducks were in her, Qin He's, hands, and she gave half to her legitimate mother, Cui Shi, Qin He didn't know how much of a good reputation she would earn. It was a waste for He Shi to eat them; at her age, what kind of immortal was she cultivating?

Qin Bi was holding Rong Yang and peeling boiled melon seeds for the child, taking in the expressions of Qin He and Qin Han. She opened her mouth and asked indifferently: "Qin He, speak directly if you have something to say. I gave Mother quite a few spirit poultry and ducks, and she won't be able to finish them for a while. Isn't your question redundant? Naturally, there are still spirit poultry and ducks; they are all being raised on Rong Yang's farm."

Qin He was speechless for a moment. She hated people like this the most; they didn't understand etiquette and insisted on being so blunt. Even after becoming the Rong Shizifei, she was still a concubine's daughter; she didn't have the bearing of a Shizifei at all.

Qin Han curled her lips in dissatisfaction. They had already given the spirit poultry and ducks to their legitimate mother, yet she still mentioned that she was the one who gave them. Was she going to ask for the things she had given away back? That would be a joke.

It was true that Qin Bi gave the spirit poultry and ducks, but they had already been given to their legitimate mother, and their legitimate mother could give them to whoever she wanted.

"Oh, there are still quite a few." Qin He reacted after a while and had something to say. She said to the Shizifei beside her: "Qin Han, you have always been worried about your husband and children's cultivation. Fourth Aunt has entered the path of immortal cultivation; it would be fine to share a few of the spirit poultry and ducks she can't finish with Sister Qin Han. Sister Qin Han isn't greedy and won't ask for many spirit poultry and ducks."

Qin He wasn't coveting the spirit poultry and ducks; she was just speaking for Qin Han, so no one else could say anything else.

If He Shi shared a few of the spirit poultry and ducks she couldn't finish with Qin Han, the Qin Yan Hou's wife and the other sisters-in-law couldn't interfere. They only looked at He Shi; whether He Shi gave spirit poultry and ducks to Qin Han or not had nothing to do with the madams, as they wouldn't be eating any of the spirit poultry and duck meat.

Lin Shi was worried that He Shi would be put in a difficult position and was just about to speak when Qin Bi stared fixedly at Qin He and said casually: "It would be great if you gave Qin Han a few spirit poultry and ducks. Who doesn't know that you, Qin He, are close to Qin Han and have deep sisterly affection? Are you still reluctant to give a few spirit poultry and ducks?"

Everyone was puzzled and glanced at Qin He. Since when did Qin He have spirit poultry and ducks? Could it be that the immortal cultivators of the Xue Prince's Manor had gone to the Beast Realm's small space and caught spirit poultry and ducks?!!

Qin Han was also puzzled, as were Qin Yuan, Qin Yan, and the others.

Qin Bi spoke as if it were true, and Cui Shi believed it, staring at Qin He.

"Where would I have spirit poultry and ducks?" Qin He was a bit confused.

"Don't you have spirit poultry and ducks?" Qin Bi chuckled, her tone mocking. She gently held the child and fed the melon seed kernels to him before saying: "It's a common thing, and you, Qin He, don't have any? Our Fourth Branch isn't well-off, and we can't bear to eat even one spirit poultry or duck; we need to be frugal and stingy. We can't compare to you, Qin He. You open your mouth and offer to give away a few spirit poultry and ducks. I thought your family had so many spirit poultry and ducks you couldn't finish them, and you needed to generously give Qin Han hundreds or thousands for free."

Opening her mouth to offer a few spirit poultry and ducks, she wasn't afraid of the wind flashing her tongue.

Did you have spirit poultry and ducks? You didn't, yet you were acting generous.

Qin He also wanted to save face, and her face turned red: "Who are you squeezing? Isn't it just that you caught some spirit poultry and ducks and are now looking down on everyone? Look at how wild you are speaking; we are sisters, is it worth it for you to speak so harshly?"

Isn't this asking for it? You're making decisions about someone else's things? Cui Shi shouted: "Enough, Qin He, you don't need to worry about your Fourth Aunt's things. You sisters are going to start arguing again as soon as you talk."

Qin He's face turned red with frustration; being scolded by her legitimate mother was not a face-saving matter.

He Shi sneered: "Qin Bi doesn't like to argue with people, and she doesn't like to quarrel either."

The implication was naturally that Qin He was not good. If Qin He were a good person, could Qin Bi have argued with her? Qin Bi confronting Qin He saved He Shi the trouble; otherwise, it would have been He Shi dealing with Qin He.

Jiang Shi also said with a smile: "Qin He is just too aggressive."

Jiang Shi's words were just a supplement, meaning Qin He was still not good.

Cui Shi's mouth twitched. This Qin He—the Fourth Branch was not what it used to be. Before, the two powerful Shizi ignored the Fourth Branch, but now with the Rong Shizi protecting them, neither Jiang Shi nor Lin Shi would let Qin He off lightly!

As long as Qin He opened her mouth, she would definitely be confronted.

The Qin Yan Hou's wife picked up her teacup to drink tea. If they didn't start arguing, she wouldn't care. The Shizifei wanted to speak several times but stopped. The Qin Yan Hou's wife glanced at her, and the Shizifei didn't make a sound.

"Mother, Sister-in-law," Qin Han stood out and said: "Qin He is also doing this for my own good."

If she didn't speak now, the few spirit poultry and ducks Qin He mentioned would be gone. Qin Han definitely wanted to achieve her goal by using Qin He's words, and perhaps her legitimate mother, He Shi, would agree to give her a few spirit poultry and ducks.

He Shi ignored her, and Lin Shi was speechless. Qin Han was the smartest; Lin Shi let out a long sigh. It was indeed for Qin Han's own good; Qin Han could get a few spirit poultry and ducks for free.

Qin He's expression softened; Qin Han was still alright.

The Qin Yan Hou's wife had seen enough and discussed with He Shi and the others: "Let's have a family meal at our Marquis Manor tonight."

The Fifth Madam said: "Alright, a family meal is lively."

Several madams and young madams discussed the dinner dishes, how many meat dishes and how many vegetable dishes. Qin He couldn't get a word in and couldn't find a sense of presence. Bored, she sat down and talked to the young ladies of the Marquis Manor.

Qin Han saw that Qin He had shut up, so if she wanted to get a few spirit poultry and ducks, she had to do it herself.

"Mother," Qin Han called He Shi.

The madams stopped talking.

He Shi looked at Qin Han, and Qin Han said: "Qin He just said it; you have already entered the path of immortal cultivation, so just give me a few spirit poultry and ducks. My husband and children are all lacking cultivation resources."

The madams had different expressions. Good heavens, Qin He wasn't causing trouble anymore, but Qin Han was coveting the spirit poultry and ducks.

The Second Madam, Cui Shi, and the Fifth Madam glanced at Qin Han. This Qin Han had quite a few schemes. If Qin He had managed to get the spirit poultry and ducks with a few words, Qin Han wouldn't have made a sound and would have enjoyed the fruits of others' labor.

A concubine's daughter, too many little schemes.

It wasn't that the concubine's daughter had too many little schemes; if Qin Han didn't plan for herself, she wouldn't have been able to marry Jiang Mo. The Jiang family was wealthy, and Qin Han could be considered to have married comfortably, but these too many schemes always made people feel uncomfortable.

Qin Bi looked at Qin Han and sneered.

Qin He was satisfied; she should ask He Shi for spirit poultry and ducks.

"Qin Han, how many times have I told you?" He Shi saw through Qin Han's little schemes and said: "The spirit poultry and ducks were given to your father and me by Qin Bi, and they are raised on Rong Yang's farm. It's not appropriate to give them to you."

Qin Han opened her mouth, but He Shi interrupted her: "I don't even give spirit poultry and ducks to Qin Su and the others, so don't covet them either. If you want to cultivate immortals, go to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and train yourself." ===== CHAPTER 470 =====
