Chapter 475
He also refused to propose marriage.
Qin Han's face also looked grim. She had already told Jiang Shen to eat more of the spirit bird duck later.
As a result, Qin Bi took both of the slaughtered spirit ducks.
“Mother,” Qin Han approached Madam He, “The Rong Prince’s mansion is not short of spirit birds and ducks. Why did Sister Qin Bi take away the slaughtered spirit birds and ducks? We’re about to eat, and there are no more spirit birds and ducks to eat.”
At the banquet, Madam He sat calmly.
Looking at the concubine's daughter who had grown up by her side since childhood, Madam He was somewhat disappointed: "Rong Yang wants to eat, and the little prince is with her too, so let Qin Bi take the spirit bird duck."
Qin Han was indignant, but hesitated to speak.
As everyone ate, they exchanged glances, and those who were more shrewd kept quiet.
Lady Qin Yanhou said, "There are quite a few meat dishes as well. Qin Han, go sit down and eat."
Qin Han pursed her lips. How could any other meat dish compare to spirit duck? Spirit duck is very beneficial to beginner cultivators. Her husband and child need to eat more spirit ducks.
Even if...
Jiang Mo had no choice but to go to the small space of the demon beast realm for training. He ate spirit bird ducks in the winter to replenish his strength, and his physique improved in the spring, which also helped with his training. How could eating spirit bird ducks be the same as not eating them?
Qin Han took a deep breath, having no other choice, and turned to Qin He, shaking her head.
Qin He and Xue Shizi were at one table, along with several capable young noblemen from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, as well as Jiang Mo, Qin Tang, and Qin Jue.
Seeing that Qin Han hadn't gotten any advantage, Qin He was furious. Qin Bi was just a concubine's daughter, and Qin He couldn't understand why Madam He, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun were protecting Qin Bi.
"Since we're not allowed to eat it," Qin He said, without touching her chopsticks, "we shouldn't have killed the spirit duck. I thought we could eat it."
As a result, I didn't get to eat it, which was frustrating.
Since they won't let us eat it, why kill it at all? They've already killed it, but they won't let us eat it. Qin He was so angry that she couldn't breathe. Today, she had a showdown with Qin Bi, and she didn't even get to eat a single piece of the spirit bird duck meat.
Moreover, Qin Bi wasn't angered, but she was furious.
Qin Han walked over to Jiang Mo, sat down, and said to Jiang Mo, "I also thought that you and Jiang Shen would be able to eat spirit bird duck."
Jiang Mo understood Qin Han's thoughts. Qin Han's appearance was not good, but her intentions were for his own good. Jiang Mo explained to Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and the others, "Qin Han has been worried about my and Jiang Shen's cultivation."
What don't Qin Yan and Qin Tang understand?
Qin Tang picked up his wine cup and took a small sip: "If you want to cultivate, it's better to go to the small space in the demon beast realm to collect cultivation resources. With ordinary spiritual roots and average aptitude, you won't be able to start cultivating even after eating spiritual food a few times."
"But," Qin Han retorted urgently, "doesn't Father and Mother starting their cultivation journey by eating spirit ducks?"
Qin Han compared her husband and child to Qin Di and his wife.
Qin Tang looked at Qin Han, his gaze fixed on her: "Father and Mother eat a lot of spiritual food."
Qin Di and his wife ate quite a lot of spiritual vegetables, fruits, and birds and ducks before finally breaking through the initial stage of cultivation and being able to officially begin their cultivation journey. The path of cultivation, from having spiritual roots to being able to cultivate, is not an easy hurdle to overcome.
The fact that Qin Di and his wife were able to begin cultivating immortality was an unexpected surprise, and everyone was astonished.
Besides, does Qin Han even have these cultivation resources?
Does the Jiang family have any?
Could the Jiang family possibly produce so much spiritual food all at once?!
Qin Han was taken aback. Everyone at the table knew that Qin Han herself had only just begun cultivating immortality and didn't have much cultivation. She definitely couldn't afford so many cultivation resources, and Jiang Mo certainly didn't. If Jiang Mo had these cultivation resources, Qin Han wouldn't have to stare longingly at Qin Di and his wife's spirit ducks. After all, everyone knew that Qin Di and his wife's spirit ducks were given to them by Qin Bi.
Qin Han wanted the spirit duck, and she couldn't get around Qin Bi.
Although Qin Han and Qin Bi both came from the fourth branch of the Marquis's mansion, their relationship was just so-so.
"Father and Mother are so blessed." Jiang Mo handed Qin Han chopsticks: "Qin Han, you must be hungry after helping your sisters-in-law all day. Eat something, and we'll go home early."
Qin Han took the chopsticks and slowly ate the food, her mood not good.
"In the future," Qin He didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Prince Qin, but she couldn't just back down like that. Picking up some food with her chopsticks, she said, "If you don't let us eat, then don't kill us to tempt us."
Qin Lang came over from Qin Yanhou's table and was surprised to hear this: "What good things doesn't your Xue Wangfu have? You're still craving spirit bird ducks? You too, you're already the Xue Shizi Consort, you can't be greedy."
Then she said she was greedy, and Qin He's face turned bright red: "I was just saying that. Killing someone and not letting them eat them is just making people happy for nothing."
Qin Lang: "I thought you were just craving it."
Qin He was truly speechless. She was already annoyed, and now the meal was even more unpleasant. Although Prince Xue was protecting his wife, they were at the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, Qin He's maternal home. Her cousin had spoken to Qin He without any argument, so Prince Xue couldn't say anything.
Besides, Prince Xue had no idea that Qin He was furious.
Prince Xue didn't follow Qin He, so little did he know that the suggestion of the spirit bird duck was Qin He's idea. She had deliberately plotted against Qin Bi, but in the end, she didn't anger Qin Bi; instead, she was furious.
Everyone was eating, and Qin Lang thought for a moment, then moved a stool and sat down at this table.
Since Qin He didn't get to eat the spirit bird duck, she was bound to stir up trouble at the dinner table. Qin Lang was watching Qin He at the table, and whenever Qin He spoke in a sarcastic or ambiguous way, Qin Lang would retort to her.
He's young, who am I afraid of?
To be honest, Qin Lang was angry. Qin He was too vicious; she deliberately tried to anger Sister Qin Bi.
After a while, Qin He became increasingly angry: "Big cousin, isn't one of those spirit ducks yours?!"
Qin Yan looked up and said, "I don't mind if Qin Bi takes it back to eat."
Qin He: "......"
"You can't forget this spirit duck?" Qin Lang almost pointed at Qin He across the table with his chopsticks and said to her, "I shouldn't have let you see the slaughtered spirit duck. Look how hungry you are. You didn't get to eat it. You probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Goodness, those words really hit home.
Prince Xue quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Your cousin isn't that greedy."
"I'm not that greedy. I've been fixated on the spirit duck ever since." Qin Lang questioned, picking up a piece of stir-fried vegetable with her chopsticks: "Sister Qin Bi has already taken it to the Rong King's Mansion, so we can't eat it anymore. Why are you still bringing up the spirit duck?"
If this isn't greed, what is it? Can Prince Xue explain it clearly?
They keep mentioning wild ducks because they can't get any.
Prince Xue: "..."
Having exhausted all options, Prince Xue said, "Be careful, or the young ladies of your Qin Yan Marquis's mansion won't be able to get married."
He's very greedy, but being from a humble family, he wouldn't even ask for a wife.
Qin Lang naturally understood this reasoning. If word got out that the young lady of the Marquis's mansion loved to eat and had a sweet tooth, her marriage prospects would be ruined. Qin Lang shut his mouth and stopped arguing with Qin He. Anyway, he wasn't leaving, so he just kept an eye on Qin He.
Qin He was furious, but she couldn't afford to argue with Qin Lang. (End of Chapter)
