Chapter 475: Nor Would She Wish to Marry

Qin Han's face also turned ugly; she had already instructed Jiang Ren to eat more spirit duck later.

As a result, the two slaughtered spirit ducks were all taken by Qin Bi.

"Mother," Qin Han approached He Shi. "The Rong Wang Fu does not lack spirit ducks. Why did Sister Qin Bi take the slaughtered spirit ducks? It is time to eat, yet there are no spirit ducks to eat."

At the banquet, He Shi sat calmly.

Glancing at this illegitimate daughter who had grown up by her side, He Shi felt somewhat disappointed. "If Rong Juan wants to eat, and the young prince is following along, then let Qin Bi take the spirit ducks."

Qin Han was furious, yet she held back her words.

Everyone ate while exchanging glances; only those with many schemes kept silent.

The Marquis Qin Yan's wife said, "There are plenty of meat dishes. Qin Han, go sit and eat."

Qin Han pressed her lips together. How could other meat dishes compare to spirit ducks? Spirit ducks are highly beneficial for novice cultivators; her husband and child both needed to eat several.

Even if...

Jiang Mo had no choice but to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm for training. Eating spirit ducks for nourishment during winter improved his constitution by spring, which also aided his training. How could it be the same to have spirit ducks or not?

Qin Han took a deep breath, truly at a loss, and turned back to Qin He, shaking her head.

Qin He sat at a table with the Xue He Shizi. This table included several capable young masters from the Qin Yan Hou Fu, as well as Jiang Mo, Qin Tang, and Qin Jue.

Seeing that Qin Han had gained no advantage, Qin He hated her guts. Qin Bi was merely an illegitimate daughter; Qin He could not understand why He Shi, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun protected Qin Bi.

"Since we are not allowed to eat," Qin He did not pick up her chopsticks. "Then they should not have slaughtered the spirit ducks. I thought we could eat them."

In the end, they did not get to eat, which was infuriating.

If they were not allowed to eat, they should not have slaughtered them at all. They were already slaughtered but not allowed to be eaten; Qin He felt so choked with anger that she could not catch her breath. Today, she had a showdown with Qin Bi but did not get a single piece of spirit duck meat.

Moreover, Qin Bi was not angered, while she herself was exploding with rage.

Qin Han walked over to Jiang Mo, sat down, and said to him, "I also thought you and Jiang Ren would get to eat spirit ducks."

Jiang Mo understood Qin Han's intentions. Her behavior was unbecoming, but her thoughts were for his good. Jiang Mo explained to Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and the others, "Qin Han has always been worried about my and Jiang Ren's cultivation."

What did Qin Yan and Qin Tang not understand?

Qin Tang lifted his wine cup and took a small sip. "If you wish to cultivate, it is better to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm to gather cultivation resources. For those with ordinary spiritual roots and average aptitude, eating spiritual food a few times will not allow them to enter the path of cultivation."

"But," Qin Han urgently refuted, "Father and Mother ate spirit ducks and entered the path of cultivation, did they not?"

Qin Han compared her husband and child to the couple Qin Di and his wife.

Qin Tang looked at Qin Han, his gaze fixed on her. "Father and Mother consumed much more spiritual food."

Spiritual vegetables, spiritual fruits, and spirit ducks; the couple Qin Di and his wife ate quite a lot, which allowed them to break through and enter the path of cultivation, enabling them to formally cultivate. The path of cultivation is not easy to break through from acquiring a spiritual root to being able to cultivate.

The fact that the couple Qin Di and his wife could enter the path of cultivation was merely an unexpected joy; everyone was surprised.

Besides, does Qin Han possess these cultivation resources?

Does the Jiang family possess them?

Can the Jiang family produce so much spiritual food all at once?!

Qin Han was stunned. Everyone at this table knew clearly that Qin Han herself had only just entered the path of cultivation, possessed little cultivation base, and absolutely could not provide so many cultivation resources. Jiang Mo had even less.

If Jiang Mo had these cultivation resources, Qin Han would not have been staring so eagerly at the spirit ducks of the couple Qin Di and his wife. After all, everyone knew that the spirit ducks of the couple Qin Di and his wife were given by Qin Bi.

If Qin Han wanted spirit ducks, she could not bypass Qin Bi.

Although both Qin Han and Qin Bi came from the fourth branch of the Marquis Fu, their relationship was merely average.

"Father and Mother are truly fortunate," Jiang Mo handed Qin Han her chopsticks. "Qin Han, you must be hungry after helping the sisters-in-law for so long. Eat something, and once you are full, we will return home early."

Qin Han took the chopsticks and ate slowly, her mood foul.

"In the future," Qin He dared not act rashly before the Qin He Shizi, but she could not simply let it go. Holding her chopsticks while picking up food, she said, "If you are not going to let us eat, then do not slaughter them to tease us."

Qin Lang, who had come over from the table of Marquis Qin Yan, heard this and was surprised. "What good things does your Xue Wang Fu not have? Are you still craving spirit ducks? You, too, are now the Xue Rong Shizifei; you cannot be so greedy."

Calling her greedy again made Qin Han's face flush red. "I was just saying that. They slaughtered them but did not let us eat, making people happy for nothing."

Qin Lang said, "I thought you were so craving it that you had lost your temper."

Qin Han was thoroughly choked. She was already furious, and now this meal was uncomfortable. Although the Xue He Shizi was protecting his wife, this was the Qin Yan Hou Fu, Qin Han's natal home. Her cousin was speaking to her without raising his voice, so the Xue He Shizi could not say much.

Besides, the Xue He Shizi did not know that Qin Han was about to explode with anger inside.

The Xue He Shizi was not with Qin Han, so how could he know that suggesting the spirit ducks was all Qin Han's idea? She had deliberately plotted, but in the end, she failed to anger Qin Bi, while Qin Han herself was ruined by rage.

Everyone was eating. Qin Lang thought for a moment, moved a stool, and sat at this table.

Qin Han, having failed to eat the spirit ducks, would surely stir up trouble at the table. Qin Lang sat at this table to watch Qin Han closely. Whenever Qin Han spoke in a sarcastic tone, Qin Lang would retort.

He was young; what did this young master fear?

To be honest, Qin Lang was angry. Qin Han was too vicious, deliberately trying to anger Sister Qin Bi.

After a while, the more Qin Han thought, the angrier she became. "Big Cousin, one of the spirit ducks belongs to you, does it not?!"

Qin Yan looked up. "I do not mind if Qin Bi takes it back to eat."

Qin Han: "..."

"You cannot forget these spirit ducks?" Qin Lang was almost pointing his chopsticks at Qin Han across the table. He said to her, "They should not have let you see the slaughtered spirit ducks. Look how craving you have become. Since you did not get to eat them, you probably won't even be able to sleep tonight."

Good heavens, those words hit right where it hurt.

The Xue He Shizi quickly tried to smooth things over. "Your cousin is not that greedy."

"Not that greedy? She has been fixated on the spirit ducks since earlier," Qin Lang questioned, picking up a mouthful of stir-fried vegetables. "Sister Qin Bi has already taken them to the Rong Wang Fu. We cannot eat them, so why keep mentioning the spirit ducks?"

If this is not greed, what is it? Was the Xue He Shizi's explanation clear?

It is only because they cannot eat them that she keeps mentioning the spirit ducks.

The Xue He Shizi: "..."

At a loss, the Xue He Shizi said, "Be careful, or the young ladies of your Qin Yan Hou Fu will not be able to get married."

She is very greedy; even in a small family, no one would wish to marry her.

Qin Lang naturally understood this principle. If a Marquis Fu young lady is fond of eating and is greedy, it will spread and ruin her marriage prospects. Qin Lang closed his mouth and stopped retorting to Qin Han. Anyway, he was not leaving; he would just keep watching her.

Qin He was furious to the point of death, yet she dared not start a quarrel with Qin Lang.
