Chapter 545: Do Not Give to Qin Han

In the afternoon, Qin Bi called for Jiang Shi and cooked another pot of sweet potato candy and small sweet radish candy.

The sweet potato candy was very fragrant and sweet; a whiff carried a slightly burnt sweet potato scent. It was truly Qin Bi's favorite, and the children liked it too. Each could get a handful—not just one or two pieces.

Of course, among the children's handfuls, the radish-colored small sweet radish candies were the majority.

Qin Bi grabbed a handful of small sweet radish candies for Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang each. Qin Lang accepted, but Qin Tang hesitated: "You eat it yourself; there are children too. I don't need any."

"Eat it," Qin Bi said, placing it in Qin Tang's hand.

Qin Tang quickly took it. Qin Xun didn't stand on ceremony; he accepted the small sweet radish candies. Qin Bi then carried the candy tray into the room and gave a handful each to He Shi, Zhu Shi, Jiang Shi, and Lin Shi.

The women only tasted one piece each, then stopped, putting the rest aside to save for their children.

Rong Juan and Rong Chi had chosen their demon beast hides and called to the young prince: "I'm going to Yan Guogong Fu. Will my brothers come with me? I won't stay long; I'll be back soon."

Qin Su and the others nodded: "We'll go with you."

The young prince naturally accompanied Rong Juan; this was a great fortune of twenty luck points and destiny points for Great Yan. But he was holding the little bun. The young prince turned to look around, and Qin Bi took the little bun from him.

The little one cried out: "I'm going too!"

Rong Chi didn't look for anyone else; he just stretched out his tiny hands toward Rong Juan.

Rong Juan had to take the little bun along as well. The young prince had the Imperial Guard, so Rong He Shizi dispatched Guard Yan to follow. Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang had nothing pressing to do, so after a moment's thought, they decided to go along too.

Ever since Qin Bi married and then divorced, Qin Tang and Qin Xun hadn't visited their maternal grandfather's home much.

Qin Bi didn't stop them. She was a soul from another world, so some of her thoughts differed from those in this cultivation world. She didn't care about the treasures of Yan Guogong Fu, but they were very important to Rong Juan.

Besides, Rong Juan understood matters better than she did. Rong He Shizi would never allow Rong Juan to simply hand over Yan Guogong Fu's treasures. Rong He Shizi would not permit Rong Juan to suffer a loss.

Once Rong Juan and Rong Chi left, Qin Bi went inside.

"They went?" He Shi asked.

"Yes," Qin Bi nodded. "Rong Chi went too."

"Let them go," He Shi said. "Don't be unreasonable and stop the children from going. That is Rong Juan's home. If Rong Juan doesn't return often, Qin He will start having thoughts."

Lin Shi added, "Didn't Qin He cut off all contact with He He Shizi long ago?"

Third Lady Zhu Shi asked, "Do you believe that?"

Lin Shi didn't believe it. Cultivation required many resources; one could say that no matter how much was given, it was never enough. Qin He still wanted various magic treasures and such from Yan Guogong Fu. If they truly cut off all contact, she wouldn't get them.

Jiang Shi raised her eyes and smiled lightly: "Qin He is sharp."

Qin Bi sat down and began making a small cloak for the children from fire demon beast fur.

The fire demon beasts transported to Rong Wang Fu were of high battle stage, with beautiful colors; their fur was of superior quality. Rong He Shizi also sent several boxes of pearls and naoshi stones to be set onto the small cloaks. They looked simply wonderful.

Qin Bi's lifespan had been damaged, so whenever her head hurt, she stopped.

After about half an hour, the children in the courtyard were chatting and laughing, making a lively scene. Qin Bi got up to look. Stepping out of the main hall, she saw that several children were each holding high-stage demon beast hides, all of superior color.

"Mother," the little bun said, his eyes shining.

Rong Juan walked up to Qin Bi holding the hides: "Mother, make small robes for me and my brother."

Qin Bi reached out and took them; the fur was very soft. "From Yan Guogong Fu?"

"Yes," Rong Juan tilted his head back. "Father gave them to me, telling me to make small robes for me and my brother. Mother, just make them. If there isn't enough hide, I'll go back to Yan Guogong Fu to get more."

Only after asking did Qin Bi learn that Rong Juan had taken a group of children to Yan Guogong Fu. He Yan was not at home. Yan Guogong's wife was overjoyed and, learning that He Shi was at Rong Wang Fu making clothes and small boots for the children,

Yan Guogong's wife could no longer keep her composure. She immediately found Yan Guogong to open the storehouse and let the children choose demon beast hides.

He Yan received news in the palace, rode back to the manor, and opened the Rong He Shizi's storehouse for Rong Juan and Rong Chi to choose demon beast hides. The children went around and returned with more than twenty demon beast hides.

Rong Juan also gave the wooden box he was holding to Qin Bi. The young prince and the others also gave their wooden boxes to Qin Bi; they had been carrying them for Rong Juan, who couldn't hold so many things.

"Mother," Rong Juan said, "there are naoshi stones that can be set onto the small cloaks."

Rong Chi added, "Set them on mine too, Jun Da."

Qin Bi opened a wooden box and glanced inside; it was full of superior-quality naoshi stones and various pearls. Rong Juan could have put the demon beast hides and naoshi stones into a storage bag, but the children simply had the young prince and others help carry them back.

Qin He would probably lose her temper again.

"I can't tell good from bad," Qin Bi said with a smile. "But they all look very nice."

Rong Juan smiled happily: "I can tell. They picked the very best. Set them on my small robe, on the small cloak, and on the small boots. And on my brother's too, Jun Da."

Seeing the children happy, Qin Bi called them inside.

It was late afternoon; the sunlight outside was no longer warm, a bit chilly. Inside was very cozy. The small cloaks and small clothes were nearly finished. Rong Juan brought more demon beast hides and naoshi stones, so He Shi and Zhu Shi and the others had to figure out how to set them on.

Qin Bi looked; the small clothes and such made by He Shi, Zhu Shi, Jiang Shi, and Lin Shi were all very comfortable. So were the small boots. Lin Shi and Jiang Shi had lined the inside of the boots with soft fur.

By the end of the day, after cooking candy, the group had made one small cloak and one small robe for each child. The small vests weren't finished yet, nor were the small boots; one day was too short.

"It's getting late," He Shi said. "Take them back to finish."

Qin Bi nodded and went to arrange gifts for He Shi to take home.

Taking advantage of the moment, He Shi distributed several pairs of the children's small boots to Jiang Shi and Lin Shi. She still had to make small vests for the children and was too busy, so Jiang Shi and Lin Shi, as the aunts, couldn't just sit idle.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun had already gone to prepare the carriage, with Qin Lang following behind Qin Bi.

Qin Bi gave He Shi one jin of small sweet radish candy. Worrying He Shi might not like sweets, she also gave a basket of small sweet radishes and spiritual-energy sweet potatoes, plus five jin of spiritual-energy snails.

Qin Lang looked covetous; the snails he had caught were all eaten up.

Qin Bi gave him five jin: "For Third Mother-in-law."

Qin Lang beamed as he took them: "What's for my mother is mine."

Qin Bi smiled. He Shi and Zhu Shi and the others came out and saw: "Why give so much? Take some back out."

"Mother," Qin Bi's smile faded. "Just eat it yourself. It's fine to give some to my brothers and sisters-in-law, but don't give any to Qin Han. Qin Han and Qin He are close, and I don't want her to share my luck."

Lin Shi couldn't help curling her lip: "She took the demon beast meat and wouldn't even give a bite to Father or Mother."

Give any to Qin Han? How could that be possible???!!!

Since the team returned from the small space in the demon beast world, it had been agreed: keep it hidden and eat it. So let's keep it hidden and eat it.
