The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child

The small chili peppers are quite tiny, but a small basket is not too small.

Qin Tang handed the small basket to Qin Lang, who beamed with joy. Qin Tang and Qin Xun's child's face lit up with surprise and delight. How novel! It's all for them. The fourth branch of the family can have spiritual vegetables to eat now.

Jiang and Lin exchanged a glance and smiled. In the past, Qin He would distribute the food, but the fourth branch of the family never received any. Since Qin He had set a precedent, the spirit vegetables would not need to be distributed to the second branch.

Qin Yan had also thought of this, so he wasn't bothered by it; this matter was easy to handle.

However, Qin Bi still asked Qin Yan a question, and she smiled and said, "Eldest cousin, we don't need to give it to the second branch, right? In the past, as long as Qin He had the final say, she wouldn't give it to our fourth branch."

Although the items Qin He distributed were all given by He Yan, it was Qin He who made the decisions.

The reason why Prince He treated the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion differently was entirely because of Qin He. Therefore, the Qin Yan Marquis was not willing to offend Qin He, so the fourth branch of the family hardly ever got anything when the mansion distributed resources.

At that time, Madam He wanted to cause trouble, since He Yan was her nephew.

Why should Qin He not be allowed to share the things He Yan gave them with the four families?

Qin Di stopped He Shi, saying there was no need for it; if they didn't want it, they shouldn't take it, why bother making a fool of themselves.

Qin Bi remembered this, so she didn't give the second wife even a single vegetable leaf.

Without being reminded, Qin Bi was worried that Qin Yan would give the spiritual vegetables to the second wife.

Just to mention, it shows that the fourth branch of the family hasn't forgotten what Qin He did. The second branch might not approve of Qin He excluding the fourth branch, but so what? Because Qin He didn't share the resources with the fourth branch.

Who cares why!

Qin Yan nodded, having no objection: "No need to give it to the second wife."

Qin He did it this way, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be the same for Qin Bi. In the past, Qin He didn't involve the fourth wife in matters that Qin He had influence with, and now, Qin Bi can do the same without involving the second wife.

Having heard this, Qin Bi stopped mentioning it. Qin He's gentleness, generosity, and refined demeanor were worthless to her. She would simply repeat what Qin He had done before.

Nobody is a pushover.

There's no need to explain why, because that's exactly how Qin He treated the fourth wife.

Excluding the third wife, with her third uncle Qin Tan around, Qin He's actions weren't very obvious.

Qin Tan was the first person in the Marquis's household to pass the imperial examination and enter officialdom. Qin He dared not provoke him; it was too much. The old Marquis and Marquis Qin Yan would not agree to it either. It wouldn't be a shame to be pointed out by the elders.

The situation was different for the fourth branch of the family. Because Qin He and Qin Bi were at odds, Qin He's actions seemed to make some sense, so Qin Yanhou followed Qin He's wishes. Qin He was good at making money and was also a disciple of a celestial sect, so her treatment surpassed that of the legitimate daughter.

"I'll share some small chili peppers with you when we get back," Qin Tang said to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan nodded: "The chili pepper spiritual vegetable should be beneficial to Grandfather's cultivation."

Qin Tang said, "Grandfather will definitely receive some."

While everyone from the Qin Yan Marquis's residence was present, Qin Bi took it upon herself to distribute some spiritual vegetables to everyone, such as Chinese cabbage (not necessarily of high quality, one head per person), and various radishes of different sizes, also a few of them.

Cilantro, scallions, sweet peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers—a few of each, all together make a good amount.

Based on this amount, one serving per person, those from the Qin Yan Marquis's residence who come to collect the spirit vegetables will naturally receive an extra serving.

As for those who won't come? Sorry, no one will.

Of course, it wasn't that the sons of the concubines didn't want to come, but rather that they didn't have the opportunity. As for the daughters, they were all Qin He's good friends; bringing them would only cause trouble. The Crown Prince Qin wasn't unreasonable; Qin Bi was easy to talk to, but the Crown Prince Rong wasn't necessarily so.

Spirit vegetables are edible. If you share some and I share some, what kind of relationship is that?

As for Qin Bi's decision to distribute a few portions of spiritual food to the Crown Prince Qin, the Crown Prince Rong didn't even question it, giving Qin Bi absolute authority. And with Rong Yang present, the child had already taken a look.

"Sister." Qin Lang took out a basket from her storage bag and looked at the spiritual vegetables, saying, "We're family, not outsiders. You don't need to give us such good spiritual vegetables. Just give us the ones that aren't as good. We can sell the good ones for demon beast crystals."

Jiang squatted down and looked at the cabbages that had been divided up: "It's fine to replace them with a less desirable one. These kinds of cabbages fetch a higher price when sold, so we can sell more monster crystals. We can eat them ourselves, even if they don't look good."

Qin Tang's eldest son remarked, "Eating rotten vegetable leaves is fine too; at least they're considered spiritual vegetables."

He was quite content, as this was the first time his family had such a lively distribution of spirit food. The last few times his aunt had given spirit fruits and vegetables to his grandparents, they were directly given to Qin Di and Madam He.

When they went to pay their respects, their grandmother would give them food.

This time, they got a share too, and the children were overjoyed and content.

Of course, the children also side with their aunt, saving her the precious vegetables.

Qin Tang's eldest son was a bit older than the others. When Qin Bi got married and divorced, the child was already old enough to remember. His aunt cried so hard at the time, and the child felt so sorry for her.

Even though my aunt is living a good life, she can't be extravagant.

“This…” Jiang Shi couldn’t be outdone by the children, so she hesitated and looked at Qin Tang and the others: “How about we replace them with insect-eaten ones that haven’t grown properly? Spirit vegetables aren’t cheap.”

Keep the good ones to sell as monster crystals.

Qin Tang was taken aback and met Qin Yan's gaze.

Before they could say anything, Qin Bi immediately stopped them from thinking: "What are you thinking? Family members should eat the best. I won't pick the best spiritual vegetables for you. Just take what's given to you."

This is a fictional world of cultivation where good fortune and luck are paramount. Eating well brings good luck and good fortune, as Qin Bi has said. Qin Lang and the others then put away the spiritual vegetables they had been allocated.

The children shared a few carrots, which could be eaten raw. They were crisp and sweet, and each one was about the size of a child's fist. There were also some larger ones, but they weren't given any extra to the children, and the children didn't care about them.

Logically, Qin Bi had already given the carrots to Qin Tang and Qin Xun, so it wouldn't have been necessary to give them to her nephews. However, Qin Bi still gave them to them, and the nephews felt they were getting a free ride, not thinking at all that the medium-sized carrots were small.

There are even smaller ones, the size of small fruits, which kids prefer to eat and play with.

Qin Tang's eldest son was a child of that age; he could grab six or seven small red radishes in one hand, which was perfect for children to eat and play with. Rong Yang grabbed a handful and shared them with her cousins.

"Sister," Qin Lang said coquettishly, "I want to eat those little red radishes too."

Qin Bi glanced at the small red radishes in the basket: "Grab a handful first, leave the leaves for me."

Qin Lang exclaimed happily, "I want a leaf too!"

Qin Bi ignored him. If she wanted it, she could have it. Lin Shi was incredibly envious of Qin Lang. The Qin family was just different. She was too embarrassed to ask Qin Bi for anything. Even though Qin Han always asked for spirit fruits and spirit birds when she went back to her parents' home, Lin Shi was too embarrassed to ask anyone for anything.

Qin Lang was different. During the years Qin Bi left the capital, she stayed with the third branch of the family, and the children of the third branch had a different relationship with Qin Bi.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun's children also looked at Qin Lang with envy. Rong Yang could make the decisions; he was in charge of this group of children. (End of Chapter)
