Chapter 546
It's all about Fu Bao
Madam He also said, "I won't give the things that you children gave to me and your father to anyone else. Your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all have them. I'll give some to your father at most, but not to Qin Han."
In other words, He Shi would not give Qin Han or any of her other illegitimate sons or daughters.
Qin Bi was relieved and saw He Shi, Zhu Shi, and the others onto the carriage.
Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang rode horses, and the Rong heir and the Rong king also came to the gate of the mansion to see them off. The Rong heir was one thing, but the Rong king gave Rong Yang and Rong Chi's maternal grandfather's family a lot of face.
Madam He was surprised. Qin Tang greeted Qin Xun and Qin Lang, then escorted the carriage away.
Qin Bi turned around, holding the little baby. Rong Yang was standing beside her, along with the little prince. Qin Bi called out, "Father."
Rong Jun picked up Rong Yang, and Rong Wang nodded: "If your father has nothing to do, he should come to the palace often. Relatives should visit each other often. Rong Yang and Rong Chi are still young and need someone to love them and help them accumulate good fortune."
Children as young as a few years old are difficult to raise in the cultivation world.
This is one reason, but the main reason is that the Rong king treated Qin Di and his wife as in-laws.
Qin Bi agreed: "Okay."
Rong Jun picked up Rong Yang and took the little dumpling as well. The little guy was very happy and immediately stretched out his little hands. He liked to squeeze. Rong Jun saw his little thoughts and smiled indulgently.
Qin Bi smiled, and they all walked into the mansion together.
The young prince reached for candy and picked up a piece that turned out to be sweet potato candy: "Princess Consort, this sweet potato candy is for you."
Qin Bi paused for a moment, then took it and ate it. Rong Jun glanced at her and knew that Qin Bi liked sweet potato candy. As long as she liked it, that was good. The most important thing was to nourish the mind.
"I have some too." The little dumpling reached into her purse and pulled out a handful of candy.
Good heavens, King Rong thought there would be a lot, but it turned out to be just two small sweet radish candies. The little dumpling gave one to Rong Yang, and since he liked his elder brother very much, he gave another one to King Rong.
He touched the small purse again, but Rong Jun wouldn't eat from it. The little guy put a piece in his own mouth and ate it with relish.
When He and the others returned to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, Qin Han had already left.
Qin Tan and Qin Di were both in the side hall of the front courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. When they saw the whole family return, they left the side hall and went to the fourth courtyard together. Madam He took out some sweet radish candies and gave some to Qin Di.
Qin Di respected Qin Tan, so he grabbed a handful of food and gave it to Qin Tan.
Qin Tan laughed: "At this age, you're still eating candy."
No need to be polite, I'll take it.
Madam He then deliberately praised Qin Bi, saying with a smile, "Qin Bi gave this child to me. Today, she said she wanted our two families to make clothes and little boots for the child, but actually, she wanted us to go and eat some spiritual food."
Zhu nodded in agreement, saying, "I think that's the idea too."
"That's right." Qin Lang praised without reservation: "My sister is such a good person, she treats me like her own brother."
After saying this, Qin Lang was still smug with Qin Tang and Qin Xun, which made Qin Tang and Qin Xun laugh.
Qin Di and Qin Tan looked at the happy family and exchanged a glance. Qin Han had been waiting for them since they returned from the county government office today, for no other reason than to get the hide of the Flame Beast.
Qin Di didn't give it to Qin Han, and Qin Tan also felt that they shouldn't have. If they had given the Flame Beast hide to Qin Han, then their initial instructions to Qin Yanhou would have been superfluous. They had given instructions for a long time, but in the end, Qin Di gave the Flame Beast hide to Qin Han, going back on his word.
It was not appropriate to discuss this matter with Qin Tang and Qin Xun. Qin Tan pondered that Qin Han had her own ulterior motives. She had asked Qin Di for the Flame Beast hide, and she figured she would have to ask He Shi for it later.
This Qin Han is very shrewd when it comes to things related to cultivating immortality.
She was quite cunning, but unfortunately, Qin Han simply wouldn't collect the materials herself, nor would she allow her husband and child to go to the small space in the demon beast realm. Qin Han only wanted to ask others for them, and thankfully, she always asked her own family. If it were someone else, they would most likely laugh at her for being a freeloader.
Qin Tan was displeased. "Is this all you've got? You still want to cultivate immortality?"
Unless someone has the same good fortune as Qin He, having a powerful minister who occasionally sends cultivation resources, it's impossible for the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to produce another person with that kind of luck.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed, and Qin Tan led Zhu Shi and Qin Lang back to their own courtyard.
Jiang and Lin went back and immediately started working. The Crimson Flame Festival was approaching, and they needed to finish making the little boots for Rongyang and Rongchi as soon as possible. They stayed up all night to finish the work and match the fur of the fire monster.
Today, Rong Yang brought the pelt of a high-level demon beast back to the Rong King's Mansion, and Qin He heard about it the next day.
"Isn't he the young master?" Qin He said angrily to her maid, "He's actually trying to freeload."
The maidservant was loyal to Qin He. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I heard that they are all very fine furs, which are perfect for making clothes and cloaks for our First-Rank Princess. Young Master Rong Yang has taken quite a few."
Qin He felt a pang of heartache and became even angrier; those were all Fu Bao's.
"Is the young master of the Rong Prince's mansion not well-liked?" Qin He grumbled in her room, complaining to her maids and servants: "The child is ignorant, but are the adults also ignorant? They actually let the child go to the Yan State Duke's mansion to ask for things."
The maid suggested, "Let our little princess go and ask for some too."
Qin He was speechless. Prince He hadn't given her anything for a long time and had said he wouldn't raise Fu Bao. That was just talk; he might not really mean he wouldn't raise Fu Bao. But Qin He didn't want to back down.
She's a female protagonist in a cultivation novel, and since Prince He treats her badly, she'll make him regret it.
Qin He was discussing something in her own courtyard when Fu Bao overheard it at the gate. She then led a group of people to the Duke of Yan's mansion, but the guards stopped her. She went to report to the Duke of Yan's wife, but the Duke of Yan's wife refused to see her.
Fu Bao refused to leave, and in desperation, the Duchess of Yan saw her.
"Grandma." Fu Bao called.
Lady Yan replied, “What brings you here? Did your master send you, or did you come on your own? When people from different households come to each other, they must first send a formal invitation. Don’t just show up unannounced.”
Fu Bao lowered her head: "I asked for it myself."
Lacking manners, Lady Yan, with a blank expression, went out without even saying goodbye to the adults. This Qin He was far from being a good parent.
A legitimate princess is being treated like she's born out of wedlock.
"What is it?" asked the Duchess of Yan.
Fu Bao looked up, speaking with conviction: "I also want the fur of high-level demon beasts, the best color. I also want agate and pearls to adorn the clothes and boots made of demon beast fur."
Lady Yan, wife of the Duke of Yan: "......"
No need to ask, it must be because Fu Bao heard that Rong Yang took back a high-level demon beast skin, and now she wants one too.
"Alas!" sighed the Duchess of Yan.
Lady Yan looked at Fu Bao, who was acting so self-righteously. She thought, "They've really spoiled other people's children. Their own child comes home to get things, and they're even comparing themselves to others. Is Rong Yang just an ordinary member of the He family? He Yan is destined to be widowed and childless. This child is something they finally had!"
How can Fu Bao be compared? What kind of green onion is Fu Bao anyway?
Lady Yan felt disgusted: "Ask your grandmother for it. Your Xue Prince's Mansion hardly uses any of the things."
Everything they ate and used came from the Duke of Yan's mansion. (End of Chapter)
