Chapter 560
What could Qin Bi compare with her? She, Qin He, has money and people and is the Shizifei in name and reality.
The Xue Heir glanced at Qin He, knowing she was comparing herself with Qin Bi again. The Xue Heir also felt that Qin Bi couldn't compare to Qin He, but in terms of status, Qin He was somewhat inferior to Qin Bi.
There was no other reason: ask him to use the entire foundation of the Xue Prince Manor to raise Qin He? The Xue Heir couldn't do it.
Even if he liked her, it wouldn't work. The Xue Heir couldn't be the master of the Xue Prince Manor; he was only the Xue Prince's Heir. He still had the Xue Prince above him. However, the Heir Rong was a powerful minister's heir, and the Rong Prince's concubine-born sons were like quails in front of the Heir Rong.
Once Qin Bi gave birth to Rong Chi, her status became unshakable.
On this day, this fictional cultivation world was celebrating the Red Flame Festival, bustling with activity. Everywhere lanterns were hung, people were laughing, and the Great Yan court officials were cursing the Minister of Revenue.
The Yan Guogong Manor was very lively. Everyone was revolving around Rong Yang. It was the first year celebrating in the Yan Guogong Manor, and He Zu and the others were overjoyed, playing until after dinner without wanting to disperse.
The Heir He didn't care anymore and took Rong Yang to sleep.
The little robe was taken off, and the child sat on the bed in his undergarments playing with his little feet. It must be said that the Heir Rong raised the child extremely well. The Heir He sat by the bed to accompany the child in playing.
"Father." Rong Yang said: "Tomorrow, let's go to Grandfather's house."
The Heir He understood the meaning behind these words: "If you want to go, return to the Rong Prince Manor early in the morning."
The little bun was happy when he heard this and went to sleep smoothly.
The Heir He stared at the child, then got up and sent someone to the Rong Prince Manor to inform them. The Heir Rong was not surprised at all that Rong Yang wanted to go to the Qin Yan Hou Fu, so he returned to the bedroom and told Qin Bi.
"Rong Yang wants to go to the Qin Yan Hou Fu tomorrow." The Heir Rong said.
Qin Bi was hugging Rong Chi and about to sleep. She thought for a moment: "He is still young; he must want to go to his grandfather's house."
The Heir Rong said: "I will go pick him up early tomorrow morning."
As the Heir Rong spoke, he covered Qin Bi with the quilt and glanced at the little milk bun. The little guy was already asleep, a milky little ball that finally stopped chattering; he was a little chatterbox.
The Heir Rong's eyes softened. Qin Bi said: "I'm sleepy."
The Heir Rong nodded, and Qin Bi closed her eyes to sleep.
Qin Bi's lifespan had been damaged, so she slept quite deeply. When the little milk bun made a fuss about sleeping, the Heir Rong had to take care of the child. Fortunately, the little milk bun Rong Chi was very well-behaved and obedient; he didn't make a fuss.
Of course, except when he was at the Yan Guogong Manor.
He really made a fuss with the Heir He; if he didn't follow his wishes, he would cry for his father.
Who knows what was going on in the little milk bun's little head? Anyway, he had latched onto the Heir He. Who knows what kind of fate the Heir He had? Raising one Fubao wasn't enough; the little milk bun also felt that he was the Heir He's child.
The Heir He lost out every time he raised one; neither was his own.
The next day, when Qin Bi woke up, the little milk bun was sitting beside her putting on his little robe by himself. His little hands picked up the flame beast little robe—orange-colored, very handsome. The child spread out the little robe.
"Where is your father?" Qin Bi asked.
The little milk bun immediately threw himself onto Qin Bi: "Went out."
Qin Bi sat up and hugged him. The Heir Rong soon returned, carrying the little bun Rong Yang, wrapped in a small quilt. The Heir He had sent Rong Yang over early in the morning. Qin Bi and Rong Chi were pleasantly surprised, and Rong Yang was also happy.
"Why did you come so early?" Qin Bi asked with a smile.
"Sent me here." Rong Yang was wearing his little undergarments, a tiny little ball.
The little milk bun's eyes brightened: "Let's go to Grandfather's house together."
"Okay." Rong Yang nodded.
The Heir Rong took Rong Yang's black little Heir robe and put the little robes on them one by one. He dressed Rong Yang first. Qin Bi just watched. The little milk bun felt he was grown up and capable, so he was busy on the side too.
He couldn't stand steadily and—thump—fell onto the quilt.
The Heir Rong was dressing Rong Yang and freed one hand to pull him up. Qin Bi simply stopped watching the fun and dressed the little milk bun. The little Imperial Prince had already returned to the palace, and the people who looked after the children were on holiday.
After putting on the little Heir robes, Rong Juan gave Qin Bi, Rong Yang, and Rong Chi one piece of candy each.
Rong Yang and Rong Chi slurped, while Qin Bi liked to chew.
Rong Juan took Qin Bi's clothes, and Qin Bi said: "I'll dress myself."
The Heir Rong let her be. Qin Bi finished dressing, and Rong Yang and Rong Chi had already put on their little boots—new boots made of flame beast fur, very warm. The children stomped their feet on the ground.
"So handsome!" Qin Bi praised.
The two little buns laughed happily; they were very handsome. Rong Juan looked dotingly and picked up the two children: "I'll go feed them egg custard first. Your brothers will probably be here to pick you up soon."
Qin Bi said: "They won't come that early, will they?"
"Qin Tang told me before." Rong Juan said: "They will come early to pick you up today."
Before the Red Flame Festival, Qin Tang had told the Heir Rong. Qin Bi just didn't think it would be very early. Who knew that just as the little buns finished eating egg custard, Qin Xun and Qin Lang would come to pick them up.
Having two brothers come to pick her up, it goes without saying how much she was valued by her maiden family.
Qin Bi was also happy. Lin Yao had already prepared the gifts and moved them onto the carriage. Qin Bi and the little buns got into the carriage, while the Heir Rong, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang rode horses to guard around the carriage.
Married daughters returning to their maiden family after the Red Flame Festival either come early or a bit late. Those who come very early have weight in their words at their maiden family; those who come late show their status. Qin Bi neither wanted to come early nor wanted to put on airs.
However, Qin Di and He Shi obviously didn't think so.
There were also Qin Tang and Qin Xun. Their sister is a Shizifei, and there are Rong Yang and Rong Chi, so they naturally wanted people to know that they valued Qin Bi and the two children very much. Added to that was Qin Lang, who had brought Qin Bi's family to the Qin Yan Hou Fu early in the morning.
The Qin Yan Hou Madam was surprised: "I didn't expect Qin Tang and Qin Xun to value Qin Bi so much."
She knew they valued her, but didn't expect them to value her this much.
"Qin Tan also values Qin Bi very much." The Qin Yan Hou said: "I see that Qin Bi's words carry a lot of weight with Qin Tan. This time, regarding the harvest from the small space in the Beast Realm, Qin Bi and Qin He were at odds, and Qin Tan, as an elder, openly protected Qin Bi."
"Can that be the same?" The Qin Yan Hou Madam said: "During those years when Qin Bi's marriage to the Heir He didn't work out, she stayed with Qin Tan's family the whole time. Over these years, she's just like one of their own children."
The Qin Yan Hou nodded: "I didn't expect Qin Bi to be able to marry the Heir Rong after her divorce."
The Heir Rong is a powerful minister. Qin Bi became the Heir Rong's Shizifei and had Rong Yang and Rong Chi, so Qin Tan couldn't be leisurely and carefree anymore; he had to plan for his two little Heir grandsons.
"I see," the Qin Yan Hou Madam said, "Qin He is a bit jealous."
The Qin Yan Hou asked: "What is she not jealous of?"
Qin Yan Hou Madam: "..."
As long as there is profit to be made, Qin He is jealous of everything; there is nothing she doesn't want.
But Qin He has that fate; one cannot argue with that.
However, Qin Bi's marriage ending in divorce had a lot to do with Qin He. Qin Bi having her Third Uncle Qin Tan to assist her, and Qin He being jealous of even that, is a bit greedy.
