Chapter 495

Qin Han hesitated: "This is the farmland reclaimed by my two brothers."

"What of it?" Qin He didn't care, then let out a long, depressed sigh: "Your Fourth Branch is just interesting. Everything is 'yours' and 'mine'. We are all family, not outsiders, yet you divide things so clearly. Take Qin Bi, that sister of yours, don't take offense at what I say, but Qin Bi is very interesting. She sends spiritual vegetables and spiritual poultry to her maiden home or the Marquis Manor, but forbids giving them to anyone else in the Marquis Manor. She's narrow-minded and terrible at handling things, making everyone have selfish motives. What is given to the Marquis Manor and the Fourth Aunt should belong to the Marquis Manor and the Fourth Aunt. In every other manor, everyone lives in harmony. If everyone were as calculating as Qin Bi, how could the family advance further?!"

Qin Han thought it sounded reasonable and nodded slightly. Her gaze fell on the reclaimed farmland. Qin Tang had one fen of land, and Qin Xun had one fen of land. There was also secondary land on the edges that had been reclaimed, but planting things there probably wouldn't work.

Qin Han didn't know much about farming either. Jiang Mo knew a little, and at that moment, Jiang Mo was holding the summoning artifact, practicing summoning rain and snow. This summoning artifact was one Qin He had bestowed upon Qin Han.

Jiang Mo held the summoning artifact, pondering that he should buy one later.

Since one could cultivate, who would want to be an ordinary person, suffering through birth, old age, sickness, and death? It was truly hard to endure. As Jiang Mo thought this, his eyes narrowed slightly. At the very least, he couldn't fall behind these brothers and sisters of Qin Han.

"I'll ask my two brothers later before deciding." Qin Han didn't plant vegetables immediately.

What Qin He said made a lot of sense, but Qin Han still felt it was inappropriate.

If she informed them, then how she planted would be up to her.

"Hmph!" Qin He scoffed, looking as if she couldn't stand it and didn't want to say anything, but felt compelled to. Qin He said: "I said your Fourth Branch is interesting, and you still don't take it seriously. A family acting like strangers, what is there to ask about? At worst, when you grow vegetables, send some to your maiden home in the middle of winter. That should be fine, right?!"

Qin He felt her arrangement was proper, and neither the He family, Qin Tang, nor Qin Xun could find fault with it.

Qin He earnestly persuaded Qin Han again: "Besides, if you grow spiritual vegetables, Jiang Mo will have hope in his cultivation, and you can hold your head high. We can also share in the glory. We should make Qin Bi angry. I don't believe only she can grow spiritual vegetables. The small fortune group that went to the Rong Wang Manor to summon was from the Qin Yan Hou Manor. Perhaps it was our collective fortune that allowed the spiritual vegetables to grow, but in the end, it became her sole credit. Just thinking about it makes one feel angry."

After Qin He said this many times, Qin Han nodded. The fortune of the Qin Yan Hou Manor had gathered everyone's fortune. Actually, no one cared about that; what made people dissatisfied with Qin Bi was that she wouldn't allow the things she sent out to be given to this person or that person, controlling things too much.

Qin He and Qin Han had gone to their maiden home to ask for spiritual vegetables and spiritual poultry, but had been rebuffed several times, which was truly infuriating.

Qin He was talking to Qin Han here, relying on the fact that no one could hear them. The two were whispering, very dissatisfied with Qin Bi. He He Shizi Apparent Qin and Qin Xiang were reclaiming wasteland not far away and glanced in this direction.

"What are they doing on the farmland reclaimed by Qin Tang and Qin Xun?" As the Heir Apparent of the Marquis Manor, he had to look after the reclaimed farmland more. Qin Yan said to Qin Xiang: "Go and take a look."

Qin Xiang also found it strange that Qin Han and Qin He had stayed on that farmland for too long. They weren't just looking at the farmland. Qin Xiang nodded: "Alright, I'll go over and see. What's there to look at on farmland where nothing has been planted yet?"

Qin Xiang walked over, and Qin He and Qin Han stopped talking.

"What are you doing on the farmland?" Qin Xiang asked: "Aren't you reclaiming your own farmland?"

"Cousin Qin Tang's farmland has been reclaimed," Qin He said with a smile: "I came to take a look. Cousin Qin Xiang, can vegetables be planted on this farmland now? It's a pity to leave it idle and plant nothing."

Qin Xiang just threw out one sentence: "Vegetables won't grow; wait until spring."

Qin Xiang wandered around briefly, and Qin He and Qin Han left. Qin Han wanted to think it over some more. If she planted vegetables on the farmland reclaimed by her two brothers without saying a word, it wouldn't be worth it if her eldest brother was unhappy.

Qin Bi was also pondering things at this time. Thinking about the low grade of the spiritual vegetables grown at home and how cultivation was not easy, she sighed softly. She had just recovered her lifespan and shouldn't worry, so Qin Bi stopped thinking about it.

The little prince and Rong Yang were practicing calligraphy on the side. The little milk bun was sitting in a walker made by the Ministry of Works, holding a sweet radish and gnawing on it. It was crunchy and delicious, though it had been stored for a long time and wasn't as crunchy and sweet as a freshly dug sweet radish.

Qin Bi sat on the side watching the children. The little bun didn't cause trouble, and even if he did, there were Rong Yang and the little prince to coax him, so Qin Bi was relatively free and began pondering things again without realizing it.

Thinking of something, Qin Bi stood up: "I'm going to your maternal grandfather's house. Are you coming?"

The little milk bun said enthusiastically: "Going!"

Rong Yang wasn't going, so Qin Bi wouldn't take him.

The little prince stood up: "I'll watch the children and go with the Heir Apparent Consort."

Qin Bi thought that was fine. Qin Han and Qin He had both gone to the desolate lands, so the little prince following her wouldn't be conspicuous. Having brought a few things for the children to eat and drink, Qin Bi took Rong Chi and the little prince to the Qin Yan Hou Manor.

The guards went ahead to report, and Qin Lang, Qin Xun, and the Lin family went to the manor gate to receive them.

Qin Xun took the little milk bun from the little prince's hands: "Uncle!"

"It's not a festival." Qin Bi knew the little milk bun's intentions when she heard him call him 'Uncle', and scolded him: "Calling him Uncle without a gift."

"There is a gift." The Lin family took out a few monster crystals and gave them to Qin Xun.

Qin Xun gave them to the little milk bun, and the little fellow immediately called out: "Aunt!"

"Oh." The Lin family was overjoyed.

Qin Bi glanced at the little milk bun with amusement. Who did he take after?

Qin Lang took the little milk bun and doted on him, and the little fellow giggled.

After entering the manor gate and walking along the way, Qin Bi called out to Qin Xun, and Qin Xun slowed his pace. Qin Bi said in a low voice: "Brother, you must hurry to the desolate lands in a while."

Qin Xun frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"I'm worried about the farmland you and the eldest brother reclaimed." Qin Bi walked slowly. Rather than saying she was worried about the farmland, it was better to say she was worried about Qin He. Qin Bi said: "You should hurry and go there."

Qin Xun wasn't in a hurry: "It's only one fen of land, and besides, nothing has been planted, so what's there to worry about?"

"I'm worried about Qin He," Qin Bi said: "You should hurry and go to the desolate lands."

Qin Xun laughed: "Can Qin He eat the soil in the farmland that the eldest brother and I reclaimed?"

That wouldn't happen, but Qin Bi said: "Qin He is determined to grow spiritual vegetables. I blocked all her paths. Qin Lang didn't go, and you and the eldest brother aren't going to the desolate lands anymore. I'm afraid Qin He will set her sights on your farmland."

Qin Lang held the little milk bun, and the two leaned in to listen, both full of gossip.

As they talked, the group arrived at the Fourth Branch's courtyard, and Qin Tan also happened to come over.
