Chapter 493
Qin He is trying to share in the good fortune.
"We agreed to go together," Qin Han said. "Why aren't you going now?"
Who can stop me? Qin Lang just won't go! Qin Yan said, "Let's go, it's getting late, the Crimson Flame Festival is coming soon, and we need to try to cultivate a piece of farmland before the Crimson Flame Festival."
Everyone set off for the Ministry of Revenue. Qin Hebai was overjoyed, but Qin Lang refused to go, looking sullen and annoyed.
Since yesterday, Qin He's system has been silent, and it doesn't respond no matter how she calls it.
"Sigh!" Qin He sighed.
The group went to the Ministry of Revenue, then entered the large teleportation array to go to the Wilderness with everyone. In this way, they could save on teleportation arrays, since the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion had no foundation in cultivation, so they could save money wherever possible.
Qin He felt embarrassed.
However, Qin He was unwilling to take out the teleportation array; she wouldn't do anything that would put her at a disadvantage.
Since that's the case, Prince Qin wouldn't go along with Qin He's wishes and spend a large sum of demon beast crystals to buy a medium-sized teleportation array just to go to the desolate land. Qin Yan felt it wasn't worth it, and Qin He felt it was a loss of face, but Qin Yan didn't care.
Upon arriving in the desolate land, Qin He only managed to summon enough time to brew a cup of tea with her summoning artifact. Since it wasn't raining or snowing, she dared not summon again. If the system left, she would have to conserve the use of her summoning artifact.
Qin He strolled over to see some of the wasteland that Qin Yan had reclaimed.
"It's a good thing Qin Lang didn't come." Qin Xun saw Qin He wandering around and said to Qin Tang, "Even if it's not next to the farmland that Qin He has cultivated, who can stop her from wandering around? If Qin Lang comes to cultivate the land, it will be unbearable for Qin He to always wander around the fields that Qin Lang has cultivated."
He already disliked her, and now that she's still hanging around like this, it's no wonder Qin Lang is annoyed.
Qin Tang asked in a low voice, "Is she blessed with good fortune?"
Yesterday, Qin Xun and Qin Lang returned to the Marquis's residence and went to find Qin Tang. They talked for a while before leaving.
"I don't know." Qin Xun shook his head: "Logically speaking, everyone is cultivating farmland and busy with their own work. They're not here to wander around. The soil in this wild land is barren and compacted everywhere. Who has the time to stroll around?"
Qin He wandered around everywhere and liked to steal credit, which made Qin Xun and Qin Tang suspicious.
Qin He stayed in her farmland, tending to her vegetables, and Qin Tang and Qin Xun didn't think much of it. But Qin He's wandering around made Qin Tang and Qin Xun feel uneasy and suspicious.
Qin He gave Qin Han some pointers on summoning, but Qin Han only summoned a little rain, a drizzle that was only the size of a tabletop, practically nothing at all. It would be difficult to cultivate a field like this.
Jiang Mo did not have a summoning artifact, so Qin Han gave her own summoning artifact to Jiang Mo. This summoning artifact was a gift from Qin He to Qin He. When Prince He was supporting Qin He and her child, Qin He was truly wealthy and generous.
Therefore, Qin He is well-liked.
Now that Prince He is no longer supporting Qin He and her child, the young ladies of the Marquis's mansion are complaining: "He was so good, but he just stops supporting her like that. Prince He is so heartless. Qin He has sacrificed so much for him!"
Qin He was a person of refined and noble character. When Prince He wanted to marry Qin He as his concubine, Qin He reluctantly agreed. If it weren't for her feelings for Prince He, Qin He would not have compromised herself to be a concubine.
Now that Prince He has a child, he says he won't support Qin He and her child anymore.
"I'll use my summoning artifact, everyone give it a try." Seeing that Qin Han's summoning wasn't working, Qin He smiled and called out to everyone, "I'm lucky, maybe one of you will benefit from my luck and be able to summon a bigger rain or snow, and the Marquis's little lucky group will also come to join in the fun."
"Are you really going to let us use the summoning artifact?" The fifth branch's illegitimate daughter, still quite young, asked incredulously, "I heard that summoning artifacts are very expensive. I was planning to wait in line to use the summoning artifact that my eldest cousin brought." Qin He handed over the summoning artifact that she didn't usually use: "Please use it."
He was very generous and approachable, which made the younger generation of the Marquis's family very happy. They lined up to ask for summoning artifacts to summon, but unfortunately, only one of the illegitimate sons from the fifth branch of the family managed to summon a little rain and snow.
"Useless." Qin He cursed in a low voice, not daring to let anyone hear.
If someone summons rain and snow, and also attracts the Little Luck Group, she can say it's her achievement, her good fortune and luck. But in the end, none of the summons were effective.
After all the commotion, she gained nothing and went home first, feeling down.
Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Qin Xun summoned Qin Lang to the Rong King's mansion. He told Qin Bi about Qin He's wanderings around that day and how she had used the summoning artifact on everyone. He also mentioned that Qin Bi and Rong Yang had visited the Rong King's mansion the day before, and that Qin Xun and Qin Lang were happy to come as well.
If Prince Rong is displeased, Qin Xun and Qin Lang will not come.
Qin Bi was happy, and Prince Rong wouldn't say anything. Qin Bi had just recovered from the damage to her lifespan, so being in a good mood brought peace of mind. Rong Jun cared most about Qin Bi's lifespan, and he wouldn't stop anyone who was good to Qin Bi.
"Have all the young men of the Marquis's mansion been summoned and tried?" Qin Bi asked with slight concern.
Qin Lang wasn't the only one among the sons of noble families of her generation to be so fortunate.
"No," Qin Xun said. "Some people didn't want to owe favors, so they didn't use Qin He's summoning artifact."
Qin Bi exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, and strolled leisurely around the room: "Qin He is shrewd. As long as someone summons a good rain and snow, they are benefiting from her, which is also her good fortune. No matter what, they will owe her a favor."
Qin Lang remarked, "Qin He has always been very scheming."
"Yes." Qin Bi narrowed her eyes and snorted, "What a scheme. The fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion is unclear. Even the people of the immortal sects can't see through it. Perhaps there are people with great fortune and luck. Qin He is trying to share in their good fortune."
Qin Lang and Qin Xun both seemed to be deep in thought. If someone had been very helpful in summoning her today, Qin He would have taken the credit without hesitation. She had a high luck value, and no one would doubt that it was not her good fortune.
Even if she doesn't claim credit, it's good to share in the good fortune; it won't do Qin He any harm in the end.
It's all just wild guessing. It's because neither the third nor the fourth wife likes Qin He. Everyone tends to overthink whatever Qin He does and talks badly about her for a while before Qin Xun and Qin Lang leave.
In the following days, the desolate land was devoid of any spiritual energy, making summoning extremely difficult.
The cultivators were puzzled: "The desolate lands are lacking in spiritual energy, but there is still some. Why is there not a trace of spiritual energy lately? Summoning is not easy."
The other cultivators shook their heads, also unsure what was going on.
Qin He followed the Marquis's entourage to the desolate lands every day without being summoned. The vegetable seedlings she planted all froze to death, but Qin He didn't feel sorry for them. As the heir apparent of the Xue Prince's Mansion, why would she care about ordinary vegetable seedlings?
Qin He wandered around talking to people, and when she came back after she had had her fill of playing, she took out a summoning artifact for everyone to use.
Prince Qin naturally wouldn't stop them. Summoning artifacts are expensive, and many of the Marquis's sons don't even have them. Qin He was happy to offer them up so everyone could practice. (End of Chapter)
