Chapter 497: Mine

Qin Di's face also sank: "When the team that went to the Savage Lands returns, I will ask Qin Han."

The legitimate brother was kind, yet Qin Han was so ungrateful.

"It should be asked." Qin Tan nodded: "Our Marquis Manor treats the concubine-born well, but it is wrong to snatch things from the legitimate-born. If Qin Xun hadn't gone, wouldn't she have already measured the land and planted things on it?"

Winter is cold, and crops clearly wouldn't grow, but even if they wouldn't grow, planting them is another matter entirely.

Qin Han planted things without saying a word; did she still have any respect for her legitimate brother in her eyes?

"It's almost the Red Flame Festival, right in the middle of winter." Qin Bi chuckled softly: "It's clear that the ground is too cold for things to grow, yet Qin Han is still bent on planting vegetables. If she wants to grow spirit vegetables, she should do it on the farmland she reclaimed herself; she shouldn't be snatching her legitimate brother's farmland."

She thought Qin He would have designs on the legitimate brother's farmland.

Qin Bi was surprised that Qin Han had started measuring the land, but in truth, one could guess the reason—everyone wants to grow spirit vegetables. Whether Qin He instigated Qin Han or it was Qin Han's own idea, Qin Han had ultimately set her sights on the legitimate brother's farmland.

Can the legitimate-born indulge this? Absolutely not!

Qin Tang narrowed his eyes, extremely angry, and Qin Xun's face was as dark as water.

This was because Qin Bi was worried about Qin He's character and urged Qin Xun to take a trip to the Savage Lands. Qin Xun hadn't cared much when he left, but who knew, he had actually gone at the right time, catching Qin Han and Qin He measuring the land.

If Qin Xun hadn't gone? Just as the Third He He Bo Fu said, would Qin Han have already planted things on the farmland?

What angered Qin Tang and Qin Xun was Qin Han's self-assertion.

Qin He didn't plant anything, but Qin Han had indeed set her sights on two *fen* of farmland.

Although Qin He was present at the time, one couldn't say Qin He didn't have designs on the farmland, but since Qin Han was the one who insisted on measuring it, it was no wonder Qin Tang and Qin Xun were angry. Qin Han dared to target the farmland only because she relied on the tolerance of the legitimate-born.

"She measured one *fen* of my land and even wanted to measure one *fen* of yours," Qin Xun said to Qin Tang.

Qin Tang looked at Qin Di in the main seat: "Father must have a serious talk with Qin Han. Qin Xun and I are generous and treat our younger siblings well; Qin Han shouldn't rely on this to push her luck."

Qin Tan did not stop him; it was indeed time to talk to Qin Han.

If Qin Di wouldn't say it, he, the Third He He Bo Fu, didn't mind knocking Qin Han down a peg. In Great Yan, although the distinction between legitimate and concubine-born is not strict, one cannot indulge someone who touches the legitimate-born's property without a word.

Qin Xun was annoyed and spoke even less politely: "Qin He and her child like to occupy the magpie's nest, and Qin Han likes to play with Qin He. Could it be that Qin Han also wants to occupy the magpie's nest?"

These words were serious. Qin Han wouldn't go that far, but it was not an exaggeration for Qin Xun to say so.

Who told Qin Han to touch the legitimate-born's property? Once touched, you cannot refute it if someone says you are occupying the magpie's nest.

This time, Qin Xun was truly furious, even more so than Qin Tang. When Qin Bi urged him to go to the Savage Lands, Qin Xun couldn't have been more dismissive. It was only because Qin Bi was distracted that Qin Xun made the trip.

Who knew, Qin Bi's prediction was spot on.

"Qin He and Fubao have obtained so many good things from the Yan Guogong Manor!" Qin Lang came over from the study's sitting room, the Little Imperial Prince holding the little milk bun. Qin Lang said: "Qin Han must be jealous."

Mentioning Qin He and Fubao occupying the magpie's nest, Qin Lang felt Rong Yang was being taken advantage of.

Qin Lang wouldn't interrupt on other matters, but when it came to Qin He, he had to nag a few words.

The things in the Yan Guogong Manor belonged to Rong Yang, and Qin He had obtained quite a lot.

"Mine." The little milk bun, upon hearing about the things in the Yan Guogong Manor, wouldn't have it, shouting in the study's sitting room: "It's Rong Chi's."

Qin Bi didn't indulge him: "It's your eldest brother's, not yours."

"Go." The little milk bun was unconvinced, turning to the Little Imperial Prince brother: "Go to the Yan Guogong Manor."

Qin Tan and Qin Di were amused to anger. This little bun was truly impolite. Ever since he understood a little, he had identified himself as a cub of the Yan Guogong Manor, and he wouldn't listen to anyone. If Fubao were to argue with the little bun, she might not necessarily get the upper hand.

The little milk bun wouldn't stay in the Qin Yan Hou Fu no matter what, making a scene to leave: "Go to the Yan Guogong Manor."

Qin Di looked at Qin Tang and Qin Xun. Ever since the falling out with the Yan Guogong Manor over Qin Bi, Qin Di no longer went there. If Rong Chi wanted to go, he would at least have to send a post.

Qin Di didn't want to deal with He Shizi, so Qin Tang said to Qin Xun: "Send a post."

Qin Xun wrote the post, saying nothing else, just asking: The little milk bun wants to go, do you want him?

He Zu came very quickly, riding a horse and bringing a team to pick up the little milk bun. Rong Yang and Rong Chi hadn't been to the Yan Guogong Manor for a long time. Qin Xun sent a post asking if they wanted him; since they were longing for the child, how could they not want him?

Once He Zu arrived, he entered the study and met the Qin family.

The Little Imperial Prince carried the well-wrapped little milk bun out of the study's sitting room, the little milk bun stretching out his little hands: "Little He He Bo Fu."

Qin Bi turned her head; she had never been able to be that sweet-mouthed since she was little.

"Hey." He Zu answered with such gentleness, reaching out to take the little milk bun.

"Don't come to pick me up again." The little milk bun waved his little hand at Qin Bi: "I won't go to your house anymore. From now on, I will live in the Yan Guogong Manor. No one should think about occupying the magpie's nest."

Qin Bi was speechless, but couldn't help emphasizing: "That is your eldest brother's home."

The little milk bun was unhappy and stopped nagging, lying on He Zu's shoulder and not moving. If Rong Shizi were here, he would be heartbroken again. With Rong Shizi away, He Zu was the one heartbroken!

"If he says it's his home, then it's his home." He Zu said: "Why are you being so clear with him?"

Qin Bi waved her hand: "Let's go."

There was no reasoning with the little milk bun.

He Zu carried the little milk bun and left, the Little Imperial Prince following, pulling down the little cloak so as not to freeze the little feet. He Zu also lowered his head, freeing a hand to pull the little cloak for the little milk bun.

Qin Xun and Qin Lang went to see them off; they had to at least see them out of the manor gate.

Watching them leave, Qin Tan said to Qin Bi: "If Rong Chi wants to go to the Yan Guogong Manor, let him go. With Rong Chi there, Qin He and Fubao will take less advantage. Rong Chi is Rong Yang's own brother; we can't let outsiders benefit."

Qin Bi was silent for a few seconds: "If it were up to me, I wouldn't care for the Yan Guogong Manor."

Qin Tan said: "The powerful Qi and good fortune of the Yan Guogong Manor can protect Rong Yang."

Qin Bi stopped talking. If it weren't for this, Qin Bi truly couldn't let go of the cold treatment she had received from He Shizi before. In ancient times, children were prone to premature death, and Rong Yang needed the good fortune and Qi of the Yan Guogong Manor for protection.

"Rong Yang is a member of the He family." Qin Tan thought about how Qin Bi was able to guess that someone had designs on the farmland, and his patience grew a bit more: "What is his, why shouldn't he have it? With Rong Shizi here, you don't need to overthink; just focus on recovering your weakened spirit."

Hearing this, Qin Di was stunned for a moment; his elder brother seemed very anxious for Qin Bi to recover her spirit.

Qin Lang and Qin Xun returned and called Qin Bi and Qin Tang to go to the main sitting room to find Shen Shi.

In the study, Qin Tan said to Qin Di: "Even with a distracted spirit, this child Qin Bi could predict things correctly. If she recovers, I fear her strategy will not be inferior." ===== CHAPTER 498 =====
