Chapter 536

"Our family's luck is truly good," Qin Su added.

Qin Tang and Jiang Shi exchanged a glance. Good? In the past, it was just average luck. Later, because the Fourth Branch was treated coldly at the Marquis Manor, the two powerful heirs seemed to do everything without involving the Fourth Branch.

Qin He had been squeezing the Fourth Branch both openly and secretly, though things had improved slightly since Qin Bi and the Heir of Xue became betrothed.

The Fourth Branch's luck seemed to improve after Qin Bi and the Heir of Xue married and then divorced; after the Heir of Rong married Qin Bi, their luck only got better and better. Once Rong Yang was born, everything changed.

"Whose luck is good in our family?" Qin Tang asked Qin Su casually.

Qin Su didn't even think before saying, "My aunt, Qin Bi."

Qin Tang was surprised, and Jiang Shi also looked at Qin Su; the child was young, but very sensible.

"Your Aunt Qin Han's luck isn't bad either," Jiang Shi said. "Her husband's family are merchants; they are wealthy."

"Their wealth is their wealth." Qin Su ate a bite of a small sweet radish—it was truly sweet, and the cool winter fruits and vegetables were a texture children loved. "It's still my aunt Qin Bi whose luck is good; only when she is well are we well."

Qin Tang and his wife realized that Qin Su felt closer to Qin Bi.

Qin Bi did indeed dote on her nephews and nieces, while Qin Han...

... was also alright.

Qin Su could feel it; his two aunts, Qin Bi and Qin Han, treated them differently.

"Your Aunt Qin Han is also very good to you all," Jiang Shi said.

Qin Su didn't say anything more, instead taking a small sweet radish to discuss with his younger brother which color tasted better. Their father was really good at collecting things during this trip to the small Beast Realm space; the small sweet radishes he found came in both yellow and red.

Children, after all, love colorful things.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi didn't say anything else and picked up a small sweet radish to eat. It was crisp and sweet; one was never enough. This time, there was one benefit: they could keep the good things to eat themselves.

"Sigh," Jiang Shi sighed. "This Qin He."

She made people so afraid that they avoided her whenever possible.

In the past, the Third and Fourth Branches didn't like Qin He, but they weren't as annoyed as they were now.

In Qin Xun's courtyard, Lin Shi thought about it and felt this was actually for the best. At the very least, they didn't have to share any cultivation resources with anyone; keeping them to themselves was best, and they even benefited from Qin He's shamelessness.

If it weren't for the fact that whenever there was a harvest, Qin He would shout that it was her own fortune and luck, the Third and Fourth Branches wouldn't necessarily feel so justified in hoarding their cultivation resources. Qin He jumped out every time to claim it was her luck, which was incredibly tiresome.

When there was a harvest, it was less of a headache to just keep it quiet.

The Third and Fourth Branches were truly tired of constantly bickering with Qin He over whose luck and fortune it was.

"Keeping it is better," Lin Shi said while eating a boiled spiritual sweet potato. "Otherwise, when the Heir of He returns, Qin He will shout again that it's her fortune and luck. Your team had such a bountiful harvest, it's very grating."

Qin Xun ate a small sweet radish, gave one to his child, and said, "I didn't think so before, but looking at it now, Qin He is truly shameless."

Lin Shi was dismissive. "I didn't see it either."

Qin He knew how to open shops, could figure out novel things, and could earn silver. She chatted and laughed with everyone at the Marquis Manor; if their relationship hadn't been poor, Qin Xun wouldn't have disliked her.

But the things Qin He had done over the past two years were filled with schemes at every turn.

Spiritual food was beneficial for cultivation, so they only ate a little more today and put the rest away, reluctant to eat it all. The children of the Fourth Branch, like Qin Su, were very happy.

The atmosphere in the Third Branch's courtyard was also very good. Qin Tan, Qin Lang, and the Third Branch's young concubine-born son had just returned from the small Beast Realm space. Everyone ate a meal together and divided up a few spiritual sweet potatoes.

Qin Tan wouldn't give them any more; if they wanted to improve their cultivation, they should go to the small Beast Realm space themselves. Being like Qin Han wouldn't do—Qin Han worried that the small Beast Realm space was dangerous and didn't want her husband to go train, yet she had no cultivation resources.

With no other choice, she just asked her maiden family for them.

Qin Tan wouldn't indulge the children of the Fourth Branch if he could help it; in the Third Branch, this bad habit absolutely could not be cultivated. They could taste a little of the spiritual sweet potato so they would know it was a good thing, but they shouldn't fail to recognize it if they went to the small Beast Realm space.

The people of the Third Branch ate a meal together. The concubine-born sons and daughters were given a small piece of spiritual sweet potato. They took a bite, savored it carefully, and were reluctant to swallow it. They were all a bit envious of their young concubine-born brother, who had gone to the small Beast Realm space; he must have dug up the spiritual sweet potatoes.

Digging up just a few was already quite a lot for a cultivator.

"Qin Lang," his concubine-born sister asked, "was your harvest very large?"

Qin Lang couldn't say much. "It was alright."

The concubine-born sister looked at her beaming young brother. "I'll go along next time."

"You need to temper your physique," Zhu Shi said. "The small Beast Realm space is vast; if your stamina isn't good, you won't be able to keep up with the long-distance trekking. Don't hold your brother back."

The concubine-born sister nodded earnestly, pondering how to temper her physique together with the sisters in the manor.

Other concubine-born sons and daughters also wanted to go to the small Beast Realm space together and secretly resolved to temper their physiques. Killing the flame beasts these past few days had been simply too exciting; having a poor physique really wouldn't do.

The Rong Yan family was also harmonious. Rong Yan gave each of his concubine-born brothers a spiritual sweet potato and a few small sweet radishes, which made the brothers incredibly happy and made them respect their legitimate elder brother, Rong Yan, even more.

Their own family had also killed flame beasts, and the harvest was not small.

Jiang Xu was not favored. Returning to the Jiang Manor, he was very low-key. His legitimate elder brother and sister both assumed he hadn't collected anything and walked away after a few sarcastic remarks; no one bothered with Jiang Xu if he had nothing.

Jiang Xu planned to find time to visit his maternal grandfather's house.

The Su Guogong Manor was very lively today. They didn't go out to show off, but they could have a lively time at home. He He Shizi of Su and the Second Young Master of Su's team had a bountiful harvest and were not stingy with the members of the Su clan; everyone ate a meal together.

He He Shizi of Su and the Second Young Master of Su brought out a wild rabbit and a wild chicken, which they stewed with mushrooms. This was spiritual beast meat; the great cultivation families were almost entirely cultivators, and they ate very happily.

"Was the harvest that good?" a clan elder asked.

Spiritual beasts like wild rabbits and wild chickens were much milder than beast meat.

If the harvest hadn't been large, the Heir of Su and the Second Young Master of Su wouldn't have brought out a wild rabbit and a wild chicken; the harvest must have been large. He He Shizi of Su sat down next to the clan elder and the Duke of Su and explained in detail.

The Duke of Su and the clan elders were shocked, looking at the Heir of Su suspiciously. "You brat, you aren't trying to fool us, are you?"

The Second Young Master of Su leaned over. "It's true."

"Did Qin He go along?" the clan elder asked.

"No," the Second Young Master of Su said. "We weren't in the same team; Qin He was in a team with Qin Yan. To avoid complications, and because Qin He was on bad terms with the Fourth Branch of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, we didn't even ask about Qin Yan's location."

The clan elder was puzzled, and the Duke of Su and the others were lost in thought.

Qin He had maxed-out fortune value; if she hadn't gone along, where did Su Yan and the others' luck come from? The Duke of Su and the clan elders were very strange and felt puzzled, but as long as there was a harvest, it was fine.

Luck was mysterious and profound; since they couldn't figure it out, they stopped thinking about it.

Unable to go out and show off, the young masters like the Second Young Master of Su had a good time showing off within the Su Guogong Manor.
