Chapter 497: It's Mine

Qin Di's face also darkened: "Wait until the team returning from the Barbarian Wasteland comes back; I will ask Qin Han."

The legitimate elder brother is so kind, yet Qin Han is so ungrateful.

"We should ask," Qin Tan nodded. "Our Marquis Fu treats illegitimate children well, but seizing the legitimate children's property is wrong. If Qin Xun doesn't go, will they just measure the land and plant crops on it?"

Winter is cold; clearly, nothing grows then. Yet even if nothing grows, planting crops is a different matter entirely.

Qin Han planted without a word; does she still have any respect for her legitimate elder brother?

"It is almost the Red Flame Festival, right in the middle of winter," Qin Bi sneered lightly. "Clearly, nothing grows in the cold fields, yet Qin Han is determined to plant vegetables. If she wants to grow spirit vegetables, she should plant them on her own reclaimed farmland, not seize her legitimate brother's farmland."

[6] She thought Qin He would target her legitimate brother's farmland.

She thought Qin He would set her sights on her legitimate brother's farmland.

When Qin Han went to measure the land, Qin Bi was surprised. Actually, the reason could be guessed: everyone wants to grow spirit vegetables. Whether Qin He instigated Qin Han or it was Qin Han's own idea, Qin Han was definitely targeting her legitimate brother's farmland.

Can we spoil the legitimate children? Absolutely not!

Qin Tang narrowed his eyes, furious, and Qin Xun's face was as still as water.

This was because Qin Bi did not trust Qin He's character and urged Qin Xun to go to the Barbarian Wasteland. When he went, Qin Xun didn't care much, but who knew he actually went at the right time, catching Qin Han and Qin He measuring the land.

If Qin Xun hadn't gone? Just as Third Uncle said, would Qin Han have already planted crops on the farmland?

What made Qin Tang and Qin Xun angry was Qin Han's acting on her own authority.

Qin He didn't plant, but Qin Han actually targeted two fen of farmland.

Although Qin He was present at the time and couldn't be said to have no intention of targeting the farmland, it was Qin Han who proposed measuring the land. No wonder Qin Tang and Qin Xun were angry; Qin Han dared to target the farmland only because she relied on the tolerance shown to legitimate children.

"She measured one fen of my land and now wants to measure another fen of yours," Qin Xun said to Qin Tang.

Qin Tang looked at Qin Di in the main seat: "Father must speak seriously to Qin Han. Myself and Qin Xun are generous and treat our younger brothers and sisters well, but Qin Han should not take advantage of this and push her luck."

Qin Tan did not stop him; indeed, Qin Han needed to be spoken to.

If Qin Di didn't speak, this Third Uncle wouldn't mind reminding Qin Han. In Great Yan, although the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate isn't strictly harsh, seizing the legitimate children's property without a word cannot be tolerated.

Qin Xun was furious and spoke even more rudely: "Qin He and her child love to usurp the nest of the magpie. Qin Han likes to play with Qin He; could it be that Qin Han also wants to usurp the magpie's nest?"

These words were severe. Qin Han wouldn't go that far, but for Qin Xun to say this of her was not an exaggeration.

Who made Qin Han touch the legitimate children's property? Once touched, if you call it usurping the magpie's nest, you cannot refute it.

This time, Qin Xun was truly enraged, even more so than Qin Tang. When Qin Bi urged him to go to the Barbarian Wasteland, Qin Xun had been extremely dismissive, only going because Qin Bi's intuition was sharp.

Who knew Qin Bi's prediction was spot on.

"How many good things did Qin He and Fu Bao get from the Yan Guogong Fu!" Qin Lang came from the study's living room. The young prince was holding the little Little Tuanzi, and Qin Lang said, "Qin Han must be envious."

Bringing up Qin He and Fu Bao usurping the magpie's nest made Qin Lang feel that Rong Juan had suffered a loss.

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

The things from the Yan Guogong Fu belonged to Rong Juan; Qin He had obtained quite a lot.

"It's mine!" The little Little Tuanzi, upon hearing about the things from the Yan Guogong Fu, protested and shouted in the study's living room: "It belongs to Rong Juan!"

Qin Bi didn't coddle him: "That is your elder brother's, not yours."

"Let's go," the little Little Tuanzi, unconvinced, turned to his older brother the young prince and said, "To the Yan Guogong Fu."

Qin Tan and Qin Di laughed in anger. This little Little Tuanzi was truly impolite; ever since he understood a little, he had insisted he was a child of the Yan Guogong Fu, ignoring anyone who said otherwise. If Fu Bao and the little Little Tuanzi fought, Fu Bao wouldn't necessarily gain the upper hand.

The little Little Tuanzi refused to stay in the Qin Yan Hou Fu, making a scene to leave: "To the Yan Guogong Fu."

Qin Di looked at Qin Tang and Qin Xun. Since the rift over Qin Bi and the Yan Guogong Fu, Qin Di had not gone to the Yan Guogong Fu. If Rong Juan wanted to go, a formal invitation letter had to be submitted.

Qin Di didn't want to deal with He He Shizi, so Qin Tang said to Qin Xun: "Submit an invitation letter."

Qin Xun wrote the letter, saying nothing else, just asking: The little Little Tuanzi wants to go; do you want him?

He Zu arrived quickly, riding a horse with a group to pick up the little Little Tuanzi. Rong Juan and Rong Juan hadn't been to the Yan Guogong Fu for a long time. When Qin Xun submitted the letter asking if they wanted him, how could they refuse when they were longing for the child's return?

Upon He Zu's arrival, he entered the study and greeted the Qin family.

The young prince carried the tightly wrapped little Little Tuanzi out of the study's living room. The little Little Tuanzi stretched out his small hands: "Little Uncle."

Qin Bi turned her head; she could never be so sweet-tongued when she was small.

"Ai," He Zu answered so gently, reaching out to take the little Little Tuanzi into his arms.

"Don't come to pick me up," the little Little Tuanzi waved his small hands at Qin Bi. "I'm not going to your house anymore. From now on, I'll live at the Yan Guogong Fu. No one can usurp the magpie's nest."

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

The little Little Tuanzi became unhappy, stopped talking, and lay still on He Zu's shoulder. If Rong He Shizi were here, he would be heartbroken again. Since Rong He Shizi wasn't here, He Zu was the one heartbroken!

"If he says it's his home, then it's his home," He Zu said. "Why explain it to him so clearly?"

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

There was no reasoning with the little Little Tuanzi.

He Zu carried the little Little Tuanzi and left, with the young prince following. He pulled the small cape down to cover the little feet so they wouldn't freeze. He Zu also lowered his head, freeing one hand for the little Little Tuanzi to pull the small cape.

Qin Xun and Qin Lang went to see them off, ensuring they were escorted out of the Fu gate.

Watching them leave, Qin Tan said to Qin Bi: "If Rong Juan wants to go to the Yan Guogong Fu, let him go. With Rong Juan there, Qin He and Fu Bao will gain fewer advantages. Rong Juan is Rong Juan's biological brother; we can't let outsiders benefit."

Qin Bi was silent for a few seconds: "As for me, I don't care about the Yan Guogong Fu."

Qin Tan said: "The powerful fortune and blessings of the Yan Guogong Fu can protect Rong Juan."

Qin Bi fell silent. If not for this, she truly couldn't let go of how He He Shizi had treated her lightly before. In ancient times, children were prone to dying young; Rong Juan needed the fortune and blessings of the Yan Guogong Fu for protection.

"Rong Juan is a member of the He family," Qin Tan thought that since Qin Bi could guess someone was targeting the farmland, his patience increased a bit more. "What belongs to him, why not take it? With Rong He Shizi, you don't need to overthink; just focus on restoring your weakened spirit."

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

Qin Lang and Qin Xun returned, called Qin Bi and Qin Tang, and went to the main hall's living room to find He Shi.

In the study, Qin Tan said to Qin Di: "This child Qin Bi, even with her spirit weakened, could predict accurately. If she restores it, her strategic mind will likely be formidable."
