Chapter 577: The Rong He Shizi Is a Powerful Minister

Qin Bi: "......"

No need for the young prince to say it; she knew. It wasn't just that harvesting crops required baskets; collecting anything required baskets. In this cultivation world, a family's wealth was measured by how many baskets they had saved.

Qin Bi's understanding was that the more baskets one saved, the better, and they were never lent out.

The little milk bun mimicked: "Save baskets."

"Mother," Rong Yu said, "I want some too."

Qin Bi immediately became enthusiastic: "I will save baskets with all my might."

In this life, just like in her previous one, she was destined to have no children; her fate was set, and there was nothing she could do. In her past life, having no children was certain, but in this life, she had Rong Yu and Rong Chi. Qin Bi knew how hard it was for children to come, so naturally, she loved them twice as much.

She truly liked Rong Yu and Rong Chi. Otherwise, she would never have let go of her grudge against the Rong He He Shizi. It was precisely because of Rong Yu that Qin Bi was willing to let go. If Rong Yu had never been born, Qin Bi would never have considered letting go.

Yet, seeing the small bundle of life come to her side, Qin Bi's heart softened, and she grew fond of him.

So, let it go.

Qin Bi looked at the two little buns with a gentle smile. The young prince said, "Rong Shizifei, you are just like a fairy."

Qin Bi glanced at the young prince: "Qin He is the fairy."

"Why mention the Xue Rong Shizifei?" The young prince ate the snail meat, which was spicy and fragrant. He hissed, "You can't be angry. Besides, the Xue Rong Shizifei earns silver and runs shops; she doesn't look much like a fairy."

Qin Bi was surprised and looked at the young prince again. Since Qin He traveled through, the young prince was the first to say this about Qin He. In the Hou Fu, most believed Qin He was blessed and had good relationships.

The sisters in the Hou Fu even flattered Qin He, saying she was like a fairy, and no one contradicted them!

Only the young prince pointed out Qin He's worldly nature.

Qin Bi smiled slightly. "Disciples of the Immortal Sect are always different."

"You can go to the Immortal Sect too," the young prince said, knowing a lot. "Just wait until Rong Yu and Rong Chi are a bit older. The Rong He Shizi has promised that you can go to the Immortal Sect to study."

As the young prince spoke, he glanced at Rong Yu, who was eating spicy snails and looking at him.

The young prince didn't care if Rong Yu would mimic him; he leaned close to Qin Bi to whisper: "The Rong He Shizi is a powerful minister. He carries the killing intent and luck of a powerful minister, which the Immortal Sect also fears. As long as the Rong He Shizi permits it, you can go to the Immortal Sect to study."

Qin Bi shook her head and smiled, saying, "I won't go."

Rong Chi hugged Qin Bi and told the young prince, "No way. I need to stay home and watch the children."

Qin Bi: "......"

The young prince: "......"

Rong Yu also said, "My younger brother is still small, and I am small too."

The young prince: "I didn't say anything."

"You did," Rong Chi said.

The young prince quickly coaxed Rong Yu and Rong Chi: "Don't tell the Rong He Shizi, okay?"

Rong Yu hesitated. He and his brother would inevitably tell their father, but the young prince seemed to have forgotten that Mother Qin Bi was the one most likely to tattle. What was the point of instructing them?

Qin Bi simply said, "I will tell the Rong He Shizi."

The young prince: "......"

The Rong Shizifei had such a good temper; how could she be like this? The whole family loved to tattle to the Rong He Shizi, yet the Rong He Shizi still cherished each of them one by one. Really, he wouldn't play with them anymore.

Just then, Qin Lang ran over: "Qin He went to the Ministry of Revenue too."

Qin Bi took a plate of stir-fried snails with chili peppers and gave it to Qin Lang. Qin Lang took it, sat down, and took the bamboo skewer from Rong Chi's hand. Only then could the maid step forward to serve freshly brewed tea.

"Wasn't she with the Immortal Sect people?" Qin Bi wasn't surprised, but she was still somewhat puzzled.

If she was with the Immortal Sect people, there was no need to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

"To show off, of course," Qin Lang said while eating snail meat. "The six ministers, the Rong He Shizi, and the He He Shizi all went to the Ministry of Revenue. With such a chance to shine, how could Qin He, who is so good at calculating, not go?"

"That can't be," the young prince said. "The Xue Rong Shizifei wouldn't go that far."

Qin Lang didn't discuss Qin He with the young prince. It was fine to scold Qin He at home, but in front of a prince, it was best not to display discord openly; it was bad for everyone.

"Did only Qin He go to the Ministry of Revenue?" Qin Bi asked. "Did Fu Bao not go?"

Qin He had always relied on Fu Bao, who was born with two auspicious clouds. Without the auspicious clouds on Fu Bao, the Great Yan Emperor would not have given Qin He much respect; she was merely a concubine's daughter from a Marquis's mansion.

Qin He liked to let Fu Bao bring her face. Qin Bi thought Qin He might have brought Fu Bao.

"Fu Bao went," Qin Lang said disdainfully. "She stood right next to Qin He, adding to Qin He's luck value. However, she still hasn't managed to snatch and open a small space from the Demon Beast Realm."

Qin Bi also sneered disdainfully; Qin He's intentions were too easy to guess.

"Qin Han and the others all went too," Qin Lang said. He had run to the Rong Wang Fu in his spare time just to tell Qin Bi about the situation at the Ministry of Revenue, letting her hear the gossip, since Qin Bi wasn't going there anyway.

The little milk buns, Rong Chi and Rong Yu, ate while listening to Qin Lang speak.

The young prince also listened with great interest and couldn't sit still. When Qin Lang was about to go to the Ministry of Revenue to continue gathering information, the young prince followed. The little milk bun Rong Chi wanted to go too, but Qin Bi wouldn't let him.

"Stay home with your elder brother and mother," Qin Bi coaxed him.

"No," the little milk bun Rong Chi said, hugging the young prince. "I want to find father."

"Let him go," Qin Bi stopped coaxing. She turned and sat down, pulling the large plate full of stir-fried snails with chili peppers in front of Rong Yu. "Rong Yu, we two will eat all these spiritual energy snails."

"Okay," Rong Yu agreed in a milky voice.

The little milk bun was a tiny, short bundle. He stood on tiptoes to look at the plate on the table, seeing the large plate full of stir-fried snails with chili peppers. If they ate these, there would be none left.

"I won't go," the little milk bun Rong Chi immediately stretched out his small hands, asking Qin Bi to hold him.

"Yes, we aren't going either," Qin Bi bent down, smiling as she picked up the little milk bun. "We have delicious food at home. We will eat it all, leaving nothing for anyone. No one can get to eat the explosively delicious stir-fried snails with chili peppers."

The little milk bun nodded: "Elder brother, mother, I, we eat."

"Save a little for father," Rong Yu never forgot Rong Juan.

The little milk bun Rong Chi nodded: "Save a little bit."

Qin Bi waved her hand. Qin Lang and the young prince had run off. The little milk bun Rong Chi didn't see them, so he didn't make a scene. Children might throw tantrums, but compared to Rong Yu, Rong Chi was more like Qin Bi.

Qin Lang continued to gather information and ran to the Rong Wang Fu to tell Qin Bi.

Qin Bi, Rong Yu, and Rong Chi were busy eating at home. The spiritual energy snails were truly delicious. The shells were thick and the meat was scarce, so it took a lot of effort to eat, but the more they ate, the better they tasted. When the young prince returned, he joined in to eat as well.

Today Qin He truly stole the show, joining hands with a cultivator of high cultivation base to seize the small beast realm space, splitting it open with a strike, after which they could enter the small beast realm space.

Once the Ministry of Revenue affairs were done, Rong Juan He Shizi flicked his robe sleeve and departed.

He He Shizi had also left a step ahead; when Qin He went looking for He He Shizi, she could not find him, leaving Qin He feeling dejected.
