Chapter 536
Covering
“Our family is so lucky,” Qin Su said again.
Qin Tang and Jiang Shi exchanged a glance. Okay? In the past, it was just average luck, but later, because Qin He's fourth branch was neglected in the Marquis's mansion, the two powerful ministers' sons seemed to never take their fourth branch with them when they did anything.
Qin He openly and secretly undermined the fourth branch of the family, but things improved somewhat after Qin Bi and Prince He got engaged.
The fourth branch's luck seemed to improve after Qin Bi and Prince He got married and then divorced. Prince Rong then married Qin Bi, and their luck continued to improve. When Rong Yang was born, everything changed.
"Who in our family is the luckiest?" Qin Tang asked Qin Su casually.
Without hesitation, Qin Su replied, "My aunt is Qin Bi."
Qin Tang was surprised, and Jiang Shi also looked at Qin Su. The child was young, but very sensible.
“Your Aunt Qin Han is also quite lucky,” Jiang said. “Her husband’s family are merchants, and they are wealthy.”
"Her family is rich, that's all that matters." Qin Su took a bite of the sweet radish. It was really sweet. Winter fruits and vegetables are cool, which is a taste that children like. "My aunt Qin Bi is lucky. We are only lucky because she is good."
Qin Tangfu and his wife realized that Qin Su was closer to Qin Bi.
Qin Bi does indeed dote on her nephews and nieces, as does Qin Han...
It's alright.
Qin Su could sense that his two aunts, Qin Bi and Qin Han, treated them differently.
“Your Aunt Qin Han is very good to you all,” said Madam Jiang.
Qin Su stopped talking and picked up the sweet radishes to discuss with her younger brother which color tasted better. Her father really knew how to collect things this time when he went to the small space in the demon beast realm. He found sweet radishes that were both yellow and red.
Kids love all sorts of colors.
Jiang didn't say anything more after seeing this, and took a small sweet radish to eat. It was crisp and sweet, and she couldn't get enough of it. This time, there was an advantage: she could keep the good stuff for herself.
"Sigh," Jiang sighed, "that Qin He."
It makes people so afraid that they want to avoid it at all costs.
The third and fourth wives used to dislike Qin He, but they weren't as annoyed by her as they are now.
Lin thought that Qin Xun's courtyard was a good place. At least, he wouldn't have to share any cultivation resources with anyone. It would be best to keep them to himself, and he was even benefiting from Qin He's shamelessness.
If there's nothing to gain, Qin He will complain that it's her good fortune and luck. The third and fourth wives might not necessarily keep their cultivation resources to themselves, but Qin He always jumps out and says it's her luck, which is incredibly annoying.
If you've made a profit, it's better to keep it to yourself and avoid worry.
The third and fourth wives were thoroughly annoyed by Qin He's constant bickering about whose luck and fortune it was.
“It’s good to keep it covered.” Madam Lin said while eating a boiled sweet potato with spiritual energy. “Otherwise, when Prince Qin comes back, Qin He will start complaining that it’s her good fortune and luck, and that your team has gained a lot. It’s really annoying.”
Qin Xun ate a small sweet radish, gave one to the child, and said, "I didn't realize it before, but now it seems Qin He is really shameless."
Lin scoffed, "I didn't see it either."
Qin He knew how to run a shop, came up with new gadgets, and could earn money. She chatted and laughed with everyone in the Marquis's mansion. If they weren't on bad terms, Qin Xun wouldn't have disliked Qin He.
However, in the past two years, everything Qin He has done has been shrouded in calculation.
Spiritual food is beneficial for cultivating immortality, so we ate a little more today and put the rest away, not wanting to eat it. The children of the fourth branch, Qin Su and the others, were very happy.
The atmosphere in the third branch's courtyard was also very pleasant. Qin Tan, Qin Lang, and the third branch's youngest son had just returned from their trip to the small space in the demon beast realm. They all ate together and shared a few spirit-infused sweet potatoes. Qin Tan wouldn't give them more; if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he could go to the small space in the demon beast realm himself. He couldn't do what Qin Han did. Qin Han was worried about the dangers of the small space in the demon beast realm and didn't want her husband to go on a training trip, but they didn't have any cultivation resources.
Having no other choice, I asked my family for money.
Qin Tan should avoid interfering with the children of the fourth branch as much as possible. She absolutely cannot let them develop such bad habits in the third branch. She should let them try a little bit of the spiritual sweet potato so that they know it is a good thing. She just wants them to recognize it when they go to the small space of the demon beast realm.
The three families ate a meal together. The illegitimate sons and daughters each received a small piece of spiritual sweet potato. They took a bite, savored it carefully, and were reluctant to swallow it. They were all a little envious of their younger half-brother, who had gone to the small space in the demon beast realm and must have dug up a spiritual sweet potato.
Even digging up just a few is quite a lot for cultivators.
"Qin Lang," her half-sister asked, "Did you have a good harvest?"
Qin Lang didn't say much: "It's alright."
The half-sister glanced at her beaming half-brother and said, "I'll go with you next time."
“You need to work on your physique,” Zhu said. “The demon beast realm is a vast and small space. If you’re not strong enough, you won’t be able to keep up with walking and long journeys. Don’t hold your brother back.”
The half-sister nodded seriously, thinking about exercising with the other women in the household.
The other illegitimate sons and daughters also wanted to go to the small space of the demon beast realm, and secretly resolved to strengthen their bodies. These past few days, they had been so excited to kill fire demon beasts, and they knew that a weak body was really a problem.
Rong Yan's family was also harmonious. Rong Yan gave each of his half-brothers a sweet potato imbued with spiritual energy and a few small sweet radishes, which made the half-brothers extremely happy and they respected Rong Yan, their elder brother, even more.
They even killed a fire monster, reaping quite a harvest.
Jiang Xu was not favored and returned to the Jiang family mansion. He kept a low profile. His elder brothers and sisters thought he hadn't collected anything. They made a few sarcastic remarks and left. Since he had nothing to show for it, no one cared about Jiang Xu anymore.
Jiang Xu plans to take some time to visit her maternal grandfather's house.
The Duke of Su's mansion was very lively today. Even without going out to show off, it was still a lively place to stay at home. The young master Su and his group had a very fruitful meal together. They were not stingy with the members of the Su family.
The young master Su and the second young master Su took out a wild rabbit and a pheasant, stewed them with mushrooms. This was spirit beast meat, and the entire cultivation family, which consisted almost entirely of cultivators, ate with great pleasure.
"Is the harvest really that good?" an elder asked.
Wild rabbits and pheasants, these mythical creatures, are much milder than the meat of demonic beasts.
If the harvest wasn't large, the young master Su and the second young master Su wouldn't have brought out a rabbit and a pheasant. The harvest must have been large. The young master Su sat down next to the clan elders and the Duke of Su and others and explained in detail.
Duke Su and the clan elders were surprised and looked at Prince Su suspiciously: "You kid, you're not trying to fool us, are you?"
Young Master Su leaned closer: "Really."
"Did Qin He follow along?" the clan elder asked.
"No," said the Second Young Master Su. "We're not on the same team. Qin He and Qin Yan are on the same team. To avoid any complications, and because Qin He is at odds with the fourth branch of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, we didn't even ask about Qin Yan's location."
The clan elders were puzzled, while the Duke of Su and his companions seemed to be deep in thought.
Qin He had maxed out her luck value, so she wasn't with them. Where did Su Yan and the others get their luck from? Duke Su and the clan elders were quite puzzled, but it was good that they had gained something.
Luck is mysterious and unpredictable; if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore.
Unable to go out and show off, the young masters of the Su family, including the Second Young Master, indulged in their display of wealth and power within the Su State Duke's mansion. (End of Chapter)
