Chapter 494: Can't Be Blind Either

"Cousin," Qin He asked Qin Tang and Qin Xun: "Do you want to use my summoning artifact?"

Although she knew Qin Tang and Qin Xun had summoning artifacts, Qin He still had to ask. Perhaps their summoning artifacts had no energy left? Qin He wanted to appear very approachable and have a good personality.

Of course, Qin He also had her purpose. Qin Tang and Qin Xun using her summoning artifact might attract the Marquis Manor's little Luck cluster. Qin Tang and Qin Xun had always been in a team with Qin Bi and Qin Lang.

With both sides adding, it was hard to say.

"No need," Qin Tang said.

"Tell me if you want to use it," Qin He didn't care about being rejected.

She was generous and didn't hold it against narrow-minded people.

Qin Tang was not enthusiastic. The bad relationship between the Second Branch and the Fourth Branch was all because of Qin He. If the relationship was bad, it was bad. Why pretend to be harmonious? It was enough to pass on the surface. Qin He was really doing something unnecessary.

After Qin He left, Qin Xun whispered to Qin Tang: "I always feel that Qin He intends to be entangled with us."

Regardless of good or bad, Qin Xun and Qin Tang had no intention of dealing with the Second Branch. Both brothers showed this meaning when they came to the wasteland. Was Qin He blind? It shouldn't be that she didn't see it, right?!

Qin Tang nodded. Don't care what Qin He was planning.

This day, Qin Tang and Qin Xun summoned rain and snow for a day, and probably reclaimed a piece of farmland that could grow things. They put away the summoning artifact.

Qin Han came over and said: "Can plant vegetables."

Qin Tang said: "It's not early, let's go back."

He He Shizi Apparent led the team to the place where the imperial court set up the teleportation array and left the wasteland. Qin He didn't go straight back to the Xue Prince Manor, but followed to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. As such, the Qin Yan Marquis Madam arranged for Qin Yan and the others to eat in the front courtyard.

"Go call Qin Lang to eat together," Qin He suggested.

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Yan glanced at Qin Xiang, and Qin Xiang found a concubine-born son to call Qin

Qin Yan hadn't originally planned to call Qin Lang, but since Qin He suggested it, it wouldn't be right not to call him.

The younger brother by a concubine returned and sat down to eat: "Qin Lang is not at home."

Qin Lang had gone to the Rong Wang Manor. At first, he went to find Rong Yan and Jiang Xu, and after he had played enough, he went to find Rong Yang and Rong Chi. The younger brother didn't mention it, but Qin He and Qin Han kept calling for Qin Lang, so everyone knew what was going on.

As for what Qin Lang was doing at that moment, the younger brother figured that if he mentioned it, Qin He and Qin Han would start worrying again.

Qin He was very disappointed and left after eating.

If Qin Lang had come to eat together, she could have persuaded Qin Lang to go to the desolate lands. The main thing was that her system treasure still hadn't shown any movement. If Qin Lang had good fortune, perhaps by being close to Qin Lang, the system's injuries or whatever could be repaired.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the meal lasted for an hour.

When it was time to return to their courtyards, Qin Tang said to the Heir Apparent Qin: "Tomorrow, Qin Xun and I won't be going. We have reclaimed about one fen of farmland that can be used to plant things. The edges that haven't been reclaimed yet can wait until spring. The Red Flame Festival is almost here, and there are some matters that still need to be handled."

"The younger brother by a concubine and I will go to the desolate lands for two more days, and then we won't go either." Qin Yan nodded: "There are many things to do for the Marquis Manor's Red Flame Festival, and the younger brother by a concubine and I will have to get busy too."

Qin Tang and Qin Xun left, and almost everyone at the table had departed. Not many people heard the conversation between Qin Yan and Qin Tang. It was getting late, and the young masters and young ladies of the Marquis Manor were all very tired, so they returned to their respective courtyards.

Just as Qin Tang and Qin Xun returned to the Fourth Branch, Qin Lang ran over: "What's going on? I didn't follow you to the desolate lands to reclaim wasteland, yet you called me to eat. Since when did I become so favored? In the past, when Qin He held a banquet, it was the same whether I was there or not. What's the matter? The Eldest Aunt prepared a banquet for the Marquis Manor's descendants going to the desolate lands, and she even knew to call me?"

Qin Xun sat on a chair, smoothed out his robe, and scoffed: "And today she was acting crazy, wanting to give us and the Eldest Brother summoning artifacts to use?"

Did they not have any? They had summoning artifacts!

Qin He wanted to ease relations with them and get close, but she shouldn't be blind. Did they lack such things that she had to offer a favor? People like Qin He were the most cunning; they earned favors entirely with their mouths.

It was just a matter of a single sentence, and she was even praised for being sensible.

Qin Lang lay on the table talking to his cousin, frowning in confusion: "It's all very strange."

Qin Tang served tea and took a sip: "Qin Xun and I won't be going tomorrow."

Regardless of what schemes Qin He had, Qin Tang and Qin Xun were not going to the desolate lands anymore. Qin Lang nodded and told Qin Tang and Qin Xun how cute the little milk bun was and how he wanted to take him home, but the Heir Apparent Rong wouldn't agree.

Qin Lang was just talking; he wouldn't dare. He He Shizi Apparent Rong protected the little milk bun like the apple of his eye. If the little bun were to be blown by a small breeze and sneeze, Qin Lang's world would collapse.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun felt better hearing Qin Lang talk about the little milk bun, their fatigue swept away. As long as the two little nephews grew up well and didn't die young, the Fourth Branch of the Qin Yan Hou Manor would have something to rely on.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Qin Tang sighed. Back then, they were deliberately cold-shouldered by the two powerful ministers' heirs, and the Fourth Branch could be said to have no opportunities to get ahead, incomparable to the Second Branch: "He He Shizi Apparent He gave Qin He too many cultivation resources, and the Heir Apparent Rong exhausted the Rong Wang Manor's foundation for Qin Bi and Rong Yang. It won't be easy for our Fourth Branch to catch up to the Second Branch's cultivation resources."

Qin Lang felt a pain in his heart: "Those were all Rong Yang's things."

Qin Tang didn't speak, and Qin Xun didn't speak either. So what if they were Rong Yang's things? He He Shizi Apparent He had given them all to Qin He! When Qin He married, her dowry alone was extremely generous, and the He family was so angry they fell ill.

Qin Lang chatted for a while longer and then left.

The next day, the Heir Apparent Qin led the team to the place where the Ministry of Revenue had set up the teleportation array.

Qin Han looked around: "Where are my two brothers?"

"Qin Tang and Qin Xun aren't coming," Qin Yan said.

Qin He didn't hear, but Qin Han felt sullen. Qin Tang and Qin Xun were someone she could rely on, and they didn't even tell her they weren't coming. He He Shizi Apparent Qin led the team into the teleportation array and instantly arrived at the desolate lands.

Everyone dispersed and went to the places they had chosen to reclaim.

Qin He looked around and only then discovered that Qin Tang and Qin Xun hadn't come. Qin He went to ask Qin Yan: "Where are the two cousins Qin Tang and Qin Xun?"

"They have things to attend to," Qin Yan said: "They aren't coming to the desolate lands anymore."

Qin He exclaimed: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Qin Yan was expressionless: "They told me."

Qin He realized she had spoken out of turn: "I, I, I didn't mean anything else."

She hadn't thought of how to say it and was stammering.

He He Shizi Apparent Qin ignored her. After two more days of reclaiming wasteland, he wouldn't be coming to the desolate lands either. The Marquis Manor had to prepare for the Red Flame Festival. The Qin Yan Hou Manor had just become a cultivation family, and last year they hadn't interacted much with other cultivation families, so this year they had to start preparing.

Qin He summoned once, but there was still no rain or snow. She walked to the farmland that Qin Tang and Qin Xun had reclaimed. Qin He looked at it; the soil wasn't dry, and it had already been reclaimed.

Qin He gave Qin Han an idea: "You should plant vegetables."
