Chapter 541: The Wife of Marquis Qin Yan

The fur and scales of the fire beasts were for Qin He, but Qin Bi objected, having already suffered lifespan damage from her anger earlier.

Qin Di had to consider that children cannot be angered; Qin He must be sidelined. What about a full-level fortune value? What about being able to open shops and earn silver? These had nothing to do with the Fourth Branch.

The fire beasts were brought back by Qin Tan's group, and the spirit food was also collected by Qin Tan and his party. Qin Di did not hesitate to make demands. Old Marquis Qin Yan and Marquis Qin Yan exchanged a glance.

"We will keep some fire beast scales for ourselves to celebrate the Red Flame Festival," Marquis Qin Yan thought for a moment and said, "The rest of the fire beast scales should be sent to relatives who have children."

Qin Tan appropriately reminded, "Qin He's family also has children."

Marquis Qin Yan: "..."

In great aristocratic families, it would be inappropriate to overlook the Xue Wang Fu in social exchanges. Marquis Qin Yan suddenly realized he had forgotten that Qin He's children were also young. If sending fire beast scales to children, Qin He's children must be included too.

What to do?

Qin Tan and Qin Di asked Marquis Qin Yan for more fire beast scales, leaving only enough for a few families. There was also plenty of fire beast fur, as the Hou Fu had killed many beasts.

The Hou Fu's greatest gain was the cultivation practice. Ladies, young ladies, and children who did not enter the small space of the beast world could still cultivate. The fur and scales of the fire beasts were extra gains.

The fire beast fur was kept in the Hou Fu's public treasury. Qin Tan and Qin Di were not reassured; they feared that during festival gift-giving, someone might simply hand over the fire beast fur to Qin He. These matters were decided by Marquis Qin Yan's wife and the He Shizi's wife.

Considering they could not let Qin Bi get angry, they could not treat this lightly.

Qin Tan, who lacked no strategy, said, "Give me more fire beast fur, and give some to the Fourth Brother as well. Having too many fire beast fur and scales causes trouble; having too many things makes people spend recklessly and fail to calculate gifts properly. With fewer things, there is no extravagance or waste."

Marquis Qin Yan's mouth twitched: "I will tell my wife not to give any to Qin He."

Qin Di said, "The Third Brother and I can use them. Give us more fur and scales."

Old Marquis Qin Yan saw this, gave up, and dismissed the group.

Marquis Qin Yan walked ahead, with his two younger brothers following behind. Helplessly, back in his own courtyard, Marquis Qin Yan took his two brothers to the study, then went to find Marquis Qin Yan's wife to discuss the matter.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qin Yan's wife immediately went to the study and assured Qin Tan and Qin Di, "Many relatives of the Hou Fu cultivate. Our Hou Fu lacks deep roots. This year, we planned to visit cultivation families with good relations, didn't we? I am counting on these fire beast fur and scales. I will not give any to Qin He. Later, I will prepare other gifts for the Xue Wang Fu."

Qin Di did not trust her; wives' words could easily change: "Just give me some. As for the remaining fire beast fur and scales, Sister-in-law can arrange them however she likes."

What remained was little; what should not be given must be carefully calculated.

With many things, it is easy to be generous.

Marquis Qin Yan's wife: "..."

"Do you still not trust your sister-in-law?" Marquis Qin Yan's wife asked.

Qin Di and Qin Tan said nothing. Only after Marquis Qin Yan's wife repeated her assurances did they drop the matter.

After dismissing Qin Tan and Qin Di, Marquis Qin Yan's wife sighed with relief: "Sigh, Qin He still thought that after quarreling with the Fourth Branch, they could get along as before after some time. Look, the Fourth Branch does not like Qin He at all."

Marquis Qin Yan could not say much, but warned, "You promised Qin Tan and Qin Di. Do not give the fire beast fur and scales to Qin He. If Qin Tan and Qin Di come knocking later, where will you put your face?"

Marquis Qin Yan's wife waved her hand: "Can I not handle such a small matter? I will personally handle the fire beast fur and scales and not let the He Shizi's wife touch them. She has a good relationship with Qin He."

Marquis Qin Yan nodded. Marquis Qin Yan's wife was the mistress of the Hou Men; she could certainly handle this.

That night, Marquis Qin Yan's wife inspected all the fire beast fur and scales. If the He Shizi's wife wanted to move anything from the treasury, she had to ask Marquis Qin Yan's wife.

Marquis Qin Yan called Qin Yan to the study and explained the household matters to him. Qin Yan frowned. During this trip to the small space of the beast world, Qin He had paid too much attention to the Third and Fourth Branch groups.

The Third and Fourth Branches did not want to deal with Qin He, yet Qin He could not see it and kept pushing forward.

Marquis Qin Yan divided spirit energy sweet potatoes and small sweet radishes for Qin Yan. Qin Yan was stunned.

Marquis Qin Yan explained, "Your Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle collected these. They did not want Qin He to know and were hiding them. I am giving you some. Eat them yourself and do not let others know."

Qin Yan took a small sweet radish, wiped it with a handkerchief, bit into it, and said, "It is quite sweet."

Immediately, Qin Yan thought of something: "Perhaps, if I follow the Third Uncle and his group, I can collect more. Children love this kind of spirit food the most. It would be good to collect more."

Marquis Qin Yan looked at Qin Yan: "With Qin He present, your Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle will not form a group with you. Qin Bi is following them. Qin Bi and Qin He are at odds; if the two of them are together, they will surely fight."

Qin Yan felt somewhat tired, stored the spirit energy sweet potatoes and small sweet radishes, and returned to his own courtyard.

The next day, He Shi got up early, called Jiang Shi and Lin Shi to the Rong Wang Fu, and brought along several children including Qin Su. Qin Lang also dragged the Third Lady Zhu Shi along.

"Go make small clothes and small boots for my two little nephews." With Zhu Shi following, Qin Lang felt more justified in visiting relatives: "I am going too. My sister said everyone should come."

Zhu Shi smiled helplessly: "If we all go, will we not cause trouble for Qin Bi?"

Qin Lang shouted, "My sister has already made several sets of small clothes and small boots for Rong Juan and Rong Chi. Today, let us all work quickly to make small clothes and small boots from the fire beast fur."

Hearing this, He Shi and Zhu Shi could not hold back and immediately packed up and went to the Rong Wang Fu.

Qin Bi was already waiting at home, along with Rong Juan and Rong Chi. They welcomed He Shi, Zhu Shi, and others. Seeing their cousins, the little milk dumplings shouted for brothers, delighting Qin Su and the others immensely.

Qin Su took out a small sweet radish candy and gave one to Rong Chi, then another to Rong Juan.

Qin Su said to the little prince, "You are a big child now."

"I am not that big," the little prince said. "Give me one."

Qin Su: "..."

Since the other was a prince, Qin Su took a small sweet radish candy for the little prince and walked over to Qin Bi.

Qin Su took a small sweet radish candy for Qin Bi: "Aunt, here for you. My mother made it for me last night."

Qin Bi smiled, took it, and put it in her mouth: "Let me taste."

Qin Su immediately beamed with joy. Jiang Shi was also happy. Everyone laughed and talked as they went to the He Shizi's courtyard. The little prince held the little milk dumpling Rong Chi, while Qin Su picked up Rong Juan, making Rong Juan laugh gaily.

The group arrived at the He Shizi's courtyard in a rush. Qin Bi brought out the selected fire beast fur. The colorful beast skins were beautiful and warm.
