Chapter 470: Is She Some Poor Relative?

~9 min read 1,672 words

Her legitimate mother was not practical at all. Qin Han lowered her head and moved her mouth. Why say such things to fool her? Don't think she didn't know that when her legitimate mother ate spirit poultry and ducks, she called Qin Tang and Qin Xun's children over.

Even if there were a few times she didn't call Qin Su and the others, most of the time, she would call the children over to eat spirit poultry and ducks.

Was this not giving them to the younger generation? She was lying to her; she just knew how to favor the legitimate ones.

If she could give them to Qin Su and the others, why couldn't she give them to her? Qin Su and the others had Qin Tang and Qin Xun going to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and collect cultivation resources, while her husband and children had absolutely no cultivation resources.

Shouldn't she be the one who should be taken care of the most?

Every time she had no other choice and really couldn't get cultivation resources, she was forced to ask her maiden family for spirit poultry and ducks and spirit vegetables, making it look like she was begging for favors. Why put her in this position? Was she some poor relative?!

Jiang Mo was wealthy, much richer than the Fourth Branch.

With so many spirit foods, they were actually stingy enough not to bear giving her a single spirit poultry or duck. Qin Han became angrier the more she thought about it, and also felt aggrieved. They raised so many spirit poultry and ducks on the farm, yet they wouldn't give her even a few.

Every time Jiang Mo gave silver to the Fourth Branch, he wasn't stingy at all.

"Mother," Qin Han secretly exhaled and said: "You also know that I have to manage the shops and can't spare the time to go to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and collect cultivation resources."

It wasn't that she didn't want to go to the Beast Realm's small space, but she couldn't leave the shops.

He Shi still had feelings for this concubine's daughter and knew that the shops couldn't be left without people. Immortal cultivation was difficult, and she couldn't ignore the shops either. The Jiang family had a large household, and their daily expenses were not small.

He Shi sighed: "Tell Jiang Mo to go to the Beast Realm's small space."

"Jiang Mo has never been to the Beast Realm's small space." Could Qin He not know Qin Han's little schemes? Qin Han didn't want Jiang Mo to take risks at all. Qin He helped: "The Beast Realm is full of crises, and immortal cultivators with insufficient combat experience are easily torn apart by fierce beasts."

Qin He was very happy to help add trouble to the Fourth Branch.

Her good marriage had been snatched by Qin Bi; her not being able to marry the He Shizi was one thing, but Qin Bi snatching it was another.

There was no need to worry about this. The Qin Yan Hou's wife, as the mistress of the house, said: "Next time Qin Yan and the others go to the Beast Realm's small space, take Jiang Mo with you. With Qin Yan there, he won't let Jiang Mo take risks."

Qin Han only said: "I'm not at ease."

Uh, hearing this, the Qin Yan Hou's wife was speechless, and the Fifth Madam couldn't help but laugh. This Qin Han was interesting; she wasn't at ease even with the Qin Shizi leading the team. It would be better to just say she didn't want Jiang Mo to go to the Beast Realm's small space.

But then again, if you don't go to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and collect cultivation resources, who would give you precious cultivation resources? Just because your mother gave birth to you with more schemes?

Are others stupid?!

Is it possible? No one is stupid, alright.

Cui Shi glanced at Qin Han. She was dreaming; who had spoiled her? She wasn't even as good as Qin He, who at least knew how to go to the Beast Realm's small space to kill beasts and collect cultivation resources.

Oh, Cui Shi thought about it and understood. He Shi had many spirit poultry and ducks, and from time to time, there were spirit vegetables and spirit fruits to eat. Qin Han watched with eager eyes, but she wasn't willing to go to the Beast Realm's small space.

He Shi also saw through it and said: "If you're not at ease, then don't go."

He Shi's face turned cold, and she couldn't be bothered to deal with Qin Han anymore.

He Shi's face stiffened, and Qin Han couldn't ask for any more spirit poultry and ducks. Qin Han pursed her lips, feeling she had no face. It made her look like a poor relative begging for favors; it was too much.

Qin Bi had confronted Qin He and didn't speak again. As for Qin Han, she couldn't be bothered to deal with her. Dealing with Qin He was the main thing. As long as Qin Han couldn't eat the spirit poultry and ducks, Qin Bi wouldn't say anything.

The young ladies of the Marquis Manor looked at each other. The concubine's daughter of the Fourth Branch had also coveted He Shi's spirit poultry and ducks. Qin Han hadn't managed to get any, so the other concubine's daughters wilted. If Qin Han didn't have this face, the other concubine's daughters would be even worse off.

The Qin Yan Hou's wife instructed the Shizifei: "Go to the main kitchen and check the dishes."

The Shizifei left.

Qin Bi held the little bun, and seeing that it was getting late, she said to He Shi and her sister-in-law: "I'll head back first."

"Eat dinner before you go," the Qin Yan Hou's wife said: "The young ladies of our Marquis Manor who married far away can't come back, but you and Qin Han are all here, so don't be in a hurry to leave. Eat dinner and have Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and the others send you back."

Qin Bi laughed, stood up holding Rong Yang, and acted like a spoiled child to He Shi: "Mother, we ate lunch until mid-afternoon, I'm not hungry yet."

In that case, He Shi said: "Take advantage of the early hour and take the child back. Have Qin Xun and the others send you."

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi accompanied Qin Bi out of the main living room. Qin He felt stifled, and several of the Marquis Manor's young ladies felt sour in their hearts. Qin Bi was so casual; it was nothing else, her maiden family doted on her.

The young ladies of the Marquis Manor who loved to compare couldn't stand this the most.

Qin He was angry and didn't stay in the Fourth Branch either, calling Qin Yuan to leave.

Qin Han didn't leave; she wanted to stay and show closeness to her maiden family. Her father and legitimate mother entering the path of immortal cultivation was a great joy, so it would be lively to have a meal together. But Qin Bi had to stand out, leaving as soon as she said she would.

Qin Han was sensible; she wouldn't leave, and helping her maiden family organize things would be dignified and show she was sensible.

The younger generation loved it when the manor held a banquet, and they were all happy.

Jiang Shi called Qin Xun to send Qin Bi back. Qin Lang ran over panting: "I'll go. We agreed to buy two small fire-baked cakes for Rong Chi too, so I have to go. Cousin, don't go."

Qin Xun said: "Let's go together."

Qin Bi was doted on by her family and was naturally happy, so she got into the carriage holding Rong Yang.

When they arrived at a spacious teahouse, Qin Lang got out of the carriage to buy the small fire-baked cakes. Qin Xun and Qin Bi followed him into the teahouse. Qin Xun held Rong Yang, wrapping the little bun tightly to avoid catching a cold; the dry cold without rain or snow was even more unbearable.

In a corner of the teahouse, there was an earthen oven. A young waiter took out the baked small fire-baked cakes and put them in a basket. The small fire-baked cakes were not big, but they were baked very fragrantly and crisply.

A middle-aged scholar had just left, having bought a small fire-baked cake and put it in a paper bag; it usually wouldn't soften by the time he got home, so he could eat it while it was still crispy. The outer skin of the small fire-baked cake was hard and golden brown, making one's mouth water.

Qin Lang said: "I want two small fire-baked cakes."

Qin Bi was greedy: "I want five small fire-baked cakes."

Qin Xun indulged her: "Take six small fire-baked cakes."

The waiter responsible for baking the small fire-baked cakes saw they were a wealthy family and took out the ones that had just been baked. Qin Bi and Rong Yang picked them. They were too hot, so the waiter picked six small fire-baked cakes, and Qin Lang paid with beast crystals.

Qin Xun said: "I'll pay."

Qin Bi indicated she had brought beast crystals, but Qin Xun and Qin Lang wouldn't let her worry about it. Qin Xun paid the bill, and after they left the teahouse and got into the carriage, Qin Xun gave Rong Yang a small fire-baked cake.

Before long, the little bun had finished eating it.

When they returned to the Rong Prince's Manor, Qin Xun and Qin Lang left. Qin Bi led Rong Yang toward the Shizi's courtyard, carrying the small fire-baked cakes they had bought. Walking made them warm, and from afar, they saw the Rong Shizi walking toward them; the man had come to pick them up. ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
