Chapter 567

~8 min read 1,577 words

What could Qin Han say? Disappointed, and for a moment, she had no plan.

Qin He had spoken with such certainty that the Immortal Sect would send her Spirit-Condensing Pills, but they weren't any mid-grade Spirit-Condensing Pills. Qin Han looked at the materials for refining the pills, her brain unable to react.

The Spirit-Condensing Pills had turned into refining materials...

Her son had no Spirit-Condensing Pills now; what was she to do??????

Qin Han was somewhat unwilling to accept this and asked Qin He: "Do you have any extra Spirit-Condensing Pills?"

Insatiable greed, Qin He cursed inwardly, but said aloud: "No."

There was nothing more to say. Qin Han took her leave and departed, and a maidservant went to see her off. After Qin Han left, Qin He immediately sent her subordinates to inquire about the spirit melon seeds given to Heir Rong.

The subordinate didn't take long to return and report: "Heir Rong ran into the Minister of War and gave the Minister of War a bag of spirit melon seeds."

Qin He: "......"

Everything was going wrong, and she was annoyed in her heart. She struck out with a bolt of spiritual power, carving a pit in the courtyard. It didn't matter that the pit was carved, but when Fubao came into the courtyard to play, she tripped and nearly knocked out her front tooth.

Qin He didn't dare to lose her temper anymore. This was a world dominated by luck and fortune; digging a pit in the courtyard shouldn't be a good thing. It was true that she was a cultivation heroine, but she had been very unlucky during this period.

Heir Xue sent his legitimate son to his mother's courtyard and came to his own, checking Fubao's teeth. He asked: "It didn't fall out, and it's not loose. It's fine. What happened? How did you fall?"

Fubao was unhappy: "I came into the courtyard and tripped by accident."

"Hiss." Heir Xue stood up: "Why has everything been a bit unlucky lately?"

In a cultivation world dominated by fortune and luck, it was easy to overthink. The Spirit-Condensing Pills had turned into refining materials, which was different from previous years, and Fubao had fallen for no reason, nearly knocking out her tooth.

Qin He thought of Qin Bi, who was working against her at every turn: "It's all Qin Bi's fault."

Heir Xue was puzzled: "Why blame her?"

Heir Xue didn't defend Qin Bi, but where did this come from? Fubao fell at home, while Qin Bi was at the Rong Wang Fu. Qin Bi hadn't paid any attention to Fubao all day today; they weren't even involved, were they?

Qin He was left speechless, unable to retort.

After a moment, Qin He thought of a reason: "You gave Heir Rong a bag of spirit melon seeds at the Marquis Manor today. I heard that on the way back, Heir Rong gave the spirit melon seeds to the Minister of War."

Upon hearing this, Heir Xue was displeased, and Qin He added: "It must have been Qin Bi's idea."

Heir Xue believed it without doubt. He didn't believe that Qin He, who existed like a white moonlight in his heart, could be wrong; could he believe Qin Bi instead? Heir Rong had a good relationship with him and wouldn't give away the spirit melon seeds he had given him.

Just as Qin He said, it must have been Qin Bi's idea.

But then, Heir Xue hesitated: "Would Heir Rong listen to Qin Bi?"

Qin Bi had given birth to the little heir, so Heir Rong would give her some face, but listening to Qin Bi over a bag of spirit melon seeds didn't fit Heir Rong's past style. Heir Rong was a powerful official, and he had his own plans for everything.

Qin He naturally didn't want to admit that Heir Rong listened to Qin Bi. She said: "She must have used some devious trick."

Heir Xue nodded. For no reason at all, both Heir Xue and Qin He blamed Qin Bi.

When the Xue Wang Fei learned that Fubao had fallen, she blamed Qin He. Qin He let her talk, but she was unconvinced in her heart. Possessing a golden finger system at the level of a heavenly treasure, Qin He didn't put anyone in her eyes at all.

No matter how unconvinced Qin He was inside, she didn't dare to show it on the surface.

In Great Yan, the Xue Wang Fei could divorce her on behalf of Heir Xue, and the Xue Wang Fei dared to do so. Qin He felt that being the Heir Consort Xue was very good and didn't want to divorce and remarry. After Qin Bi divorced, she had Heir Rong seeking to marry her.

Her? Qin He thought of Heir He.

But at the same time, Qin He also thought of that deadly fate of "wife-killing and childless," and her mind cleared instantly. Having vomited blood twice before, it was simply worse than death. Qin He never dared to covet being the Heir Consort of the Yan Guogong Manor again.

Therefore, in Great Yan, Heir Xue was the best choice.

The Xue Wang Fei didn't want to be angry either and waved her hand: "Go back to your courtyard."

Qin He pulled Fubao to leave, but the Xue Wang Fei tightened her face and added: "If you can't teach the child well, even if you are unwilling, I won't let you take Fubao anymore. Don't let her go to the Yan Guogong Manor to ask for things."

Qin He's footsteps paused: "Understood."

Fubao asked: "Grandmother, why don't you let me go to the Yan Guogong Manor?"

The Xue Wang Fei said: "The Yan Guogong Manor doesn't let you go, and it's not good for us to go either. Don't go in the future."

Fubao was unhappy: "But I didn't do anything wrong?"

Because you aren't related, you aren't a child of the Yan Guogong Manor. The words were on the tip of the Xue Wang Fei's tongue, but she didn't want to say them. Fubao wouldn't listen at all, and Qin He, thinking about things in her heart, pulled Fubao away.

Heir Xue remained behind to talk to the Xue Wang Fei.

When Qin Bi heard that the Immortal Sect had sent materials for refining Spirit-Condensing Pills, she couldn't help but gloat. Hmph, still wanting to bask in the Marquis Manor's luck? As long as she was there, she would cut it all off for Qin He. If she had the ability, she should just rely on the golden finger she brought from her transmigration.

A cultivation heroine, after all; how could she rely on anything else?

Whatever she brought with her, she should use that to establish herself.

A few days later, Qin Tang and Qin Lang came over for a visit.

After sitting down and chatting for a few sentences, Qin Tang said: "Father and Third Uncle are going to the Beast Realm small space in the second month to collect things. They sent me and Qin Lang to ask you if you want to go together?"

Qin Lang was very proactive: "Sister, let's go, to save up family assets for Rong Yang and Rong Chi."

"Let's go." Qin Bi now knew what it meant to save up family assets—it meant saving up baskets. She couldn't help but laugh: "It will be warmer by the second month. I'll go too, to slaughter in all directions."

The last sentence was playful; slaughtering in all directions, how could it be that easy?

Qin Tang also laughed. He had things to do and left a step earlier.

Qin Lang didn't leave; he played in the courtyard with the Little Imperial Prince and Rong Chi. After the Red Flame Festival, the Little Imperial Prince had come to the Rong Wang Fu to ask why the spirit melon seeds given to his maternal grandfather weren't allowed for him to eat.

Heir Rong shared a handful of spirit melon seeds with the Little Imperial Prince without explaining, and the Little Imperial Prince stopped asking once he had something to eat.

The Little Imperial Prince stayed behind to watch the children.

Over the next few days, Qin Tan and Qin Di made preparations for going to the Beast Realm small space. During these days, Qin Han and Qin He were very idle and would return to the Marquis Qin Yan Manor for no reason. Qin He wanted to be the pride of the Marquis Manor and have the final say there, so it was understandable for her to come to the Marquis Manor.

It was just that Jiang Shi and Lin Shi were puzzled: was Qin Han also this idle?

Lin Shi thought for a moment and whispered to Jiang Shi: "Every word is about Spirit-Condensing Pills."

Jiang Shi said: "We don't have any either."

"Does Mother have Spirit-Condensing Pills?" Jiang Shi asked again, worried.

If He Shi had Spirit-Condensing Pills, Qin Han probably wanted to ask He Shi for them. As for others? Not to mention they didn't have any, even if they did, they wouldn't give the Spirit-Condensing Pills in their hands to Qin Han.

Spirit-Condensing Pills were good things; if one's spirit root wasn't good, one could also use Spirit-Condensing Pills to enhance it.

Jiang Shi had also heard this from Qin Tang. The cultivation she was practicing lacked a concubine's daughter like Qin Bi to provide resources.
