Chapter 95: Is It Easy for a Concubine Son to Stand Out?

Qin Bi said Qin He had the favor of the Heavenly Dao, but He Shi did not believe it.

How could the favor of the Heavenly Dao be for a concubine-born daughter?

Qin He only began to show her talents when she reached the age of fifteen; before that, who would have paid any attention to a concubine-born daughter of the Second House? No one knew when it started, but Qin He began to come up with new things from time to time.

It must have been from that time that the favor of the Heavenly Dao began.

Rong He Shizi and He He Shizi opened a shop with Qin He together, but in the end, neither the He Shizi's wife nor the He Shizi's ladyship was secured; He Shi was disdainful, though the He Shizi's wife of Xue Wang Fu did manage to get the position.

He Shi glanced at Qin Bi; this child must be blessed!

However, last year things had become very strained with Yan Guogong Fu over He Yan taking a secondary wife; only after Rong Juan married Qin Bi did everything change. In He Shi's opinion, it would have been better if Qin Bi and He Yan had not divorced.

"What are my husband and the others discussing?" Qin Xun's wife, Lady Lin, stood up, glanced outside the main hall's living room where the cold wind howled, and returned to say, "Qin He is also at fault; why does she always pick fights with our Fourth House?"

We have yielded what we should have yielded; what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Given the relationship between Qin He and Qin Bi, even if Rong Yang went to He He Shizi inappropriately, Qin He should not have gotten involved. I used to think Qin He was magnanimous, but now she seems very petty.

A sneer appeared on He Shi's lips as she took a sip of tea and said, "Upon learning that Rong Yang went to Yan Guogong Fu, she rushed over to deliver the message, full of hidden schemes, as if she thinks no one can see through her."

But Qin Bi and He He Shizi have already divorced; Rong Yang is the child of Qin Bi and Rong He Shizi, so going to He He Shizi is indeed inappropriate.

He Shi did not intend to blame Qin Bi. Just now, Jiang Shi and Lady Lin had been sent away; both were very puzzled. Although in the world of cultivation, women of the inner quarters can meet men from outside, He He Shizi and Qin Bi are divorced, after all.

Both Rong He Shizi and He He Shizi have distanced themselves; what does it mean for Qin Bi's child to go up to them?!

"Qin Bi..." Lady Lin hesitated, fidgeted with her handkerchief, and finally asked, "What is the Little He Shizi doing at Yan Guogong Fu? Qin He is worried about competing for favor with her lucky treasure. If there is no real reason, it would be better not to go."

Jiang Shi held the same view, so Qin Bi pondered how to answer.

He Shi spoke up: "I told the child to go. What? Can't my grandson visit my natal home? Qin He just cannot stand to see others doing well; her mind is poisonous. Another day, I will personally take Rong Yang back."

Lady Lin was stunned: "..."

Is that how it is?

Jiang Shi was also taken aback; clearly, the mother-in-law had not known the situation before, yet now she was protecting Qin Bi. Jiang Shi and Lady Lin exchanged a glance, their feelings complex. What is going on!

Who is the greatest reliance for a concubine-born daughter? The legitimate mother. As long as the legitimate mother is willing to protect her, her life will be smooth; this is immense fortune.

Qin Tang carried Rong Yang into the main hall's living room, followed by Qin Lang and Qin Xun. Once inside, Qin Tang handed the child to Qin Bi. Qin Bi was pregnant, and the child clung to her, refusing to be held by anyone else.

"Mother," Rong Yang called out.

Qin Bi smiled and replied, "Mm."

Qin Tang said to Jiang Shi, "It is good that you and your sister-in-law are both here; we won't have to send for you. Jiang Shi, you and your sister-in-law will go with Mother to the Second House. Qin Lang and Qin Xun will follow. When you get the chance, slap Qin He for me."

Lady Lin covered her mouth and retreated timidly.

Qin Xun reached out and grabbed her arm: "I will be following. Find an opportunity to slap her; I am not asking you to strike immediately upon arrival."

Jiang Shi rolled up her sleeves: "Fine, I will go."

Her husband had spoken, and the legitimate son of the Third House was accompanying them; if Jiang Shi did not go, she would disappoint her husband. It was just slapping Qin He; she could do it. Jiang Shi was from a prestigious family in Great Yan and feared no one.

Lady Lin, delicate and weak, was frightened and panicked: "I... I dare not. Qin He is very fierce."

Qin Lang, standing nearby, grew anxious: "No, I will beat her."

"Do you want to tear the relationship apart?" Lady Lin cried out in shock.

"The words were delivered by Qin He; let us see what she has to say." Qin Tang was the eldest legitimate son of the Fourth House; although his status was not as high as the Marquis's heir, he possessed dignity. He said calmly, "If I am not satisfied, Jiang Shi and your sister-in-law, you will slap her for me."

This meant Qin Tang would go too; Lady Lin gathered her courage and nodded vigorously.

Qin Bi: "..."

Rong Yang, in a milk-sweet voice, said, "I will go too."

Qin Lang waved his hand: "You are still too young; who can you beat? We uncles and aunts are enough."

The children of Qin Tang and Qin Xun were all called over to accompany Qin Bi and Rong Yang. Afterwards, Qin Tan and Qin Di came from the study to the living room, while Qin Tang, Jiang Shi, and the others followed He Shi to the Second House.

Seeing this situation, the wife of Qin Yan Hou, upon hearing the news, was so shocked she jumped up from her chair: "What is such a small matter? Why did He Shi take the legitimate sons to the Second House? Hurry and summon the Marquis and the He Shizi."

Qin Yan was not in the residence; Qin Yan Hou had just returned. Upon receiving the news, he and the Marquis's wife immediately went to the Second House, closely followed by others. By the time they arrived, He Shi had already ordered Qin He to be slapped.

Jiang Shi stepped forward to slap Qin He, but unfortunately, she was a step too late. Lady Lin, with a timid expression, quickly acted and slapped Qin He across the face.

Qin He, caught off guard, felt a stinging pain on her face. Her personal guards immediately moved to intervene, but Qin Tang and Qin Xun blocked them, joined by Qin Lang, who had arrived a moment later. Qin Lang had brought the concubine-born sons of the Third House to support them.

These concubine-born sons, whether willing or not, could not be vague when Qin Lang called upon them.

One young concubine-born boy, whose robe made it inconvenient to fight, lifted and tucked up his robe, then kicked out with a vicious strike. Damn it, this Qin He was suppressing the Third House; was it easy for a concubine-born son like him to make a name for himself?

No one used spiritual energy, and the guards of Xue Wang Fu did not dare to use spiritual power.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Tang's eldest son took a few younger ones to run and check the situation.

Shortly after, a young nephew wobbled into the room; the threshold was too high, so the child crawled inside.

"Auntie, Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother have gone," the child mimicked.

The Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother the young nephew mentioned were Qin Yan Hou and his wife.

Qin Tan, drinking tea, said to Qin Di, "They went quite quickly."

"Did your He Shizi uncle go?" Qin Tan asked.

"Nope," the child said.

Qin Tan waved his hand: "Go spy again."

Qin Bi: "..."

What could he possibly spy out?

"Okay," the child said. He reached the threshold, held onto it, and crawled out.

As soon as he stepped outside, a young servant boy picked him up and ran toward the Second House.

Qin Tan explained to Qin Bi: "The Little He Shizi cannot be surrounded by useless people. It does not matter that they are young; adults can teach them. Once the younger generation goes through the small space in the Demon Beast Realm for training, they will return to run errands for the Little He Shizi."

Qin Bi fell silent. On this point, the difference between a transmigrator and an ancient person became apparent.

Qin Bi was born into this world and valued her family, but that was all. The Second House and Third House, however, intended to cultivate the members of both houses to advance further alongside Rong Yang; this was the power of the maternal grandfather's family.

Rong Yu was taught by Rong Juan, a native of this ancient cultivation world, so the child seemed unsurprised, sitting calmly and eating melon seeds from her pouch.

In the second branch, Qin He, angered by the beating, mobilized her spiritual power.
