Chapter 486
Luck
Qin Bi smiled upon hearing this but did not reply.
Qin Bi hadn't forgotten that before her Rong Yang recognized He Yan, He Yan had paved a smooth path for Qin He. In front of the Emperor of Da Yan, Qin He was a blessed concubine's daughter of a marquis.
Qin He was fortunate to marry into the Xue family despite being born out of wedlock.
When the young prince returned from his trip to the palace, he asked this very question. Qin Bi didn't want to answer. Whether Qin He had stolen the fortune was left for the Emperor and his ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty to guess. Qin Bi had no interest in answering his questions.
Besides, do you really believe the Emperor and his ministers that Qin He stole the fortune?!
Qin Bi scoffed, "Not necessarily!"
“If Qin He has stolen your luck, Princess Rong,” the young prince observed Qin Bi’s reaction and continued, “Don’t you care? Before you got married, no one cared about you in the Qin Yan Marquis’s mansion, but since you got married, doesn’t the Princess Rong think your luck has been very good? Moreover, the Xuanshu master of the Immortal Sect even predicted that you would have no children in this life, but after you got married you had Rong Yang and Rong Chi. Obviously, this prediction was inaccurate. Has the Princess Rong ever thought that your luck has been stolen by Qin He? Her luck has been so-so in the past six months, and so has Fu Bao’s. Fu Bao’s luck is not as good as before.”
The young prince was quite emotional. In the past, whenever he and his brothers obtained rare spiritual food, Fu Bao would immediately know by the two auspicious clouds he swallowed, and they would definitely be able to have a good meal when they entered the palace.
The princes and princesses used to give face to Prince He and treat Fu Bao like a younger sister. They wouldn't hide good food from Fu Bao. But now it's different. Whenever the princes and princesses' maternal grandparents give them something good to eat, the princes and princesses hide it and don't give it to Fu Bao.
Therefore, the amount of good fortune is clearly different.
Qin Bi glanced at the young prince, pondering what to say.
Qin Lang had nothing to do at home, so he came to the Rong Prince's Mansion.
The young prince waited for Princess Rong to speak before Qin Lang entered the room, bringing with her a chill.
"Sister." Qin Lang carried an oil paper package, which was undoubtedly food: "Rong Yang, Rong Chi, Your Highness the Little Prince."
Qin Bi smelled the aroma of mushrooms and pork belly, which smelled very good. She guessed that it might be spiritual food mini-baked buns. These mini-baked buns were really expensive, and children from ordinary cultivation families could not afford them.
"Uncle!" the little dumpling cried out in a high-pitched voice.
So crisp and tender, the little dumpling's eyes are still bright.
Whenever his uncle comes, he gets something delicious to eat.
Qin Bi's lips twitched. She wouldn't be so good at sweet-talking and flattering people. Rong Jun didn't seem to have this kind of personality. Who did he take after? Oh, Qin Lang, no wonder they get along so well and hang out together.
"Oh." Qin Lang was also happy.
The Qin Yan Marquis's family had just become a cultivation family and didn't have much foundation. Even if they wanted to buy delicious food for their nephews, their ability was limited. But the nephews didn't mind at all. Whatever he, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun bought, the children would eat it willingly.
“Uncle.” Rong Yang got up from the small stool and walked over to Qin Lang.
"Hey." Qin Lang handed the oil paper bag to Rong Yang: "When I came over, I saw that Xiao Huo had finished grilling, so I bought one for you and Rong Chi, and one for your mother too."
The young master Rong doted on Qin Bi, which was noticed by the people of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. So Qin Lang bought an extra brown sugar sesame seed cake for Qin Bi. This time, the spiritual vegetables in the wilderness grew well, and Qin Tan benefited a lot, so he was in a great mood.
Although the Spirit Food Mini Firebread is expensive, you can grit your teeth and buy a few for Rongyang and Rongchi.
It doesn't matter how expensive the items are; it's a blessing that the maternal grandparents care about Rong Yang and Rong Chi. It's good for the children. Normally, the young heirs of first-class hereditary noble families all have fiefdoms. The maternal grandparents should start planning for them when they are young to prevent the children born to concubines from taking the position of young heir.
At the Rongwang Palace, there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
In this world, the one who values Rong Yang and Rong Chi the most is the Crown Prince Rong. The Crown Prince Rong, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, is destined to be widowed and childless. Now that the Crown Prince Rong has a wife and children, he protects them like the apple of his eye. The positions of Rong Yang and Rong Chi are unshakable.
Rong Yang took the oil paper bag, and the little dumpling, held by the little prince, thrashed about: "Let me try it."
Qin Bi suppressed a laugh and said, "Quickly, let them try it. We Rong Chi love to taste spiritual food. The little fire cake must not be good. If it's not good, the child shouldn't eat it. I've already eaten it." The little dumpling was stunned: "It's delicious."
He's eaten it.
Qin Lang was displeased and picked up Rong Chi, saying to Qin Bi, "Why are you teasing our little dumpling?"
The little dumpling, without distinguishing between who's who, immediately started whining and complaining, "You won't give me any!"
Qin Lang took a small baked bun from the oil paper bag and gave it to the little dumpling: "I'll give it to you even if I don't give it to anyone else. Our Rongchi is so well-behaved. Your mother is naughty. She's deliberately teasing our Rongchi."
The child got a small baked bun, then went to the little prince and put the bun to the little prince's mouth, asking the little prince to nibble on the one without filling so he could eat the one with filling. He was quite cunning.
Rong Yang gave Qin Bi a brown sugar sesame seed cake: "Mother, this is a brown sugar sesame seed cake."
Qin Bi said, "Give me a bite too."
Rong Yang ate the small baked bun. The children immediately quieted down when they had the spiritual food, the small baked bun. Qin Lang sat down next to the stove, took a roasted sweet potato from the stove and ate it, while talking to Qin Bi.
"Qin He didn't grow anything in the wilderness." Qin Lang peeled a sweet potato: "She kept saying that she had grown spiritual vegetables to share with everyone. I thought she could really grow spiritual vegetables."
The young prince brought up the topic of fortune again: "Perhaps, Qin He stole the fortune from the Marquis's mansion."
Qin Lang paused, stopped peeling the sweet potato, and looked at Qin Bi with a start.
It's not impossible.
"No." Qin Bi smiled, quite certain: "Qin He doesn't have that ability. Even if she could steal luck, it would be useless in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. She can't steal it."
The young prince was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Qin Lang also asked, "Why can't we grab it?"
Qin Bi scoffed: "Don't even mention if I'm alive, even if I'm dead, Qin He can't touch the fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. Some fortunes have people they need to protect, and no one else can touch them."
At this point, Qin Bi's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and burst into tears.
"Sister," Qin Lang quickly approached, "What's wrong?"
The young prince immediately gave the little dumpling to Rong Yang and ran to call the Crown Prince Rong.
Qin Bi cried, tears streaming down her face: "Qin Lang..."
"Sister," Qin Lang said anxiously, her voice filled with concern, "What's wrong?"
Qin Bi burst into tears: "Once, the fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion failed to protect our mansion. It failed to protect us. I don't know when, but I know that the fortune of our mansion was about to explode. It failed to protect us."
Rong Jun and the young prince arrived and, upon hearing Qin Bi's words, the man was taken aback.
He was reborn several times. In two of those lifetimes, the Qin Yan Marquis's family chose the wrong side. Qin Bi was probably referring to those two lifetimes.
Rong Jun went over and hugged Qin Bi: "It's okay, don't cry."
Qin Bi was actually able to sense the aura of the Marquis's mansion. (End of Chapter)
