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

Jiang looked surprised: "Qin Han can't possibly want everything, can she?"

The spirit fruit wants it, and the spirit bird duck wants it too.

You've already got the Spirit Vegetables, and you still want more?!

As a member of the Marquis's family, Qin Han was a young lady of the Marquis's household, and she had to maintain some dignity. No matter how good her relationship with her maternal family was, if she asked for things too often, it would eventually annoy people. Lin Shi was already worried about this.

Jiang didn't expect Qin Han to come to her parents' home again to ask for things. Lin mentioned it because she was afraid. Spirit vegetables are also good things and are beneficial to cultivation. After the previous lessons, it was hard to guarantee that Qin Han wouldn't want some this time.

Every time Qin Han asks for something, the brothers Qin Tang and Qin Xun always give her a break; last time they gave her a spirit bird duck.

Qin Di and his wife, He Shi, had other illegitimate sons and daughters, but they wouldn't set a precedent for Qin Han. So, the brothers Qin Tang and Qin Xun had to deal with Qin Han. Who would want to deal with Qin Han? Every time, something would be lost.

Of all the branches of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, the fourth branch has the least foundation.

Lin rolled her eyes at Jiang: "It's not like we haven't asked for it before. I was just reminding Mother."

Turning her head, Lin said to He, "Mother, you must keep the spirit vegetables safe. There are many children in the fourth branch, including several illegitimate sons and daughters. Giving some to one and not others would be unfair. It would be better not to give any to any of them."

Madam He nodded: "It wasn't planted by us, it was given to us by Qin Bi, so it's not appropriate to give it away."

“That’s right,” Lin agreed. “That’s exactly the point. We are Qin Bi’s maternal family, and Qin Han is Qin Bi’s younger sister. Instead of asking us for things, Qin Han might as well ask Qin Bi directly.”

Jiang said, "I don't know what Qin Han is thinking. She always goes around Qin Bi. It's clearly Qin Bi's stuff. She gave it to her family, and then Qin Han came to ask us for it. This is so wrong. My mother will also be complained about by Qin Bi. No matter how good-tempered Qin Bi is, she gave my mother the things she gave her, but then gave them to Qin Han. Qin Bi must also be complaining. She really shouldn't do things like this."

"Alright," Madam He interrupted, "Qin Han didn't come to ask for it, did she? You're not allowed to say anything more."

Jiang and Lin shut up. Qin Han had been raised by He's side for a while and they had developed some affection for her. There was a difference between them as daughters-in-law and daughters, and He did not allow them to talk about Qin Han.

Madam He put away the spirit vegetables and placed some in Qin Di's study. After all, seeing spirit vegetables makes one feel good.

Qin Di and his two eldest sons went to the old Qin Yanhou's courtyard. They didn't stay long and returned quickly. Qin Tan came looking for them, and when they arrived at the study, their eyes lit up when they saw the spicy peppers.

Several people discussed cultivation, and Qin Tan, who had considerable experience, offered guidance to them.

Qin Lang ran over and listened along.

As for the spiritual vegetables they were allotted, Qin Yan kept his share and gave the spicy chili peppers to Qin Yanhou. The two of them then shared a few of their own portions with Qin Xiang, the eldest son of the main branch of the family.

Qin Xiang was the eldest son of Qin Yanhou and Qin Yan's right-hand man; he was treated well in every way he was entitled to.

When the people from the Fifth Branch came over, Qin Yanhou gave them two spicy chili peppers, nothing more. The Fifth Branch was quite content with that, as it was better than receiving nothing at all.

Lin's worries were not unfounded. Qin Han learned from her sisters that He had obtained the spiritual vegetable.

Sitting in the shop, lost in thought, Qin Han wanted to ask for it.

Jiang Mo came in: "What are you thinking about?"

"My mother received a magical vegetable." Qin Han looked up.

Jiang Mo wasn't surprised. Qin Han blinked and asked, "You know?" Jiang Mo sat down and said, "I heard it from Qin Jue."

Qin Han lowered her head, feeling complicated as she thought that it was planted by Qin Bi again. If it had been planted by one of her sisters, she wouldn't have found it so hard to speak up. But she disliked anything related to Qin Bi.

"I want to go to my parents' home." Qin Han discussed with Jiang Mo: "I'll ask my mother for a few chili peppers. If she doesn't give me chili peppers, she can give me a few other spiritual vegetables. I'm not picky, as long as they are spiritual vegetables."

Qin Han felt she wasn't greedy, but worried about her family's displeasure.

"Don't ask for it anymore." Jiang Mo knew that Qin Han always asked for things when she went to her parents' home, and it was annoying after a while. "I know you're thinking of me and the child, but if you keep asking, all our feelings will be worn away."

"What's the big deal?" Qin Han seized the opportunity to say, "Just remember the good things I've done for you, and don't take a concubine to annoy me."

Jiang Mo chuckled: "What are you talking about? Taking a concubine is something you can't have. You are the wife I've chosen, the one I picked myself. How could taking a concubine be an eyesore to you? If Prince Xue doesn't take a concubine, I absolutely won't."

For Jiang Mo to marry a daughter of a marquis was a stroke of good fortune.

Qin He demanded a lifelong commitment to one person, and neither would Prince Xue or Jiang Mo take concubines. Qin Han felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Qin He was aloof and looked down on others. Compared to Qin He, Qin Han felt a little smug and revealed a shy smile, becoming even more determined to visit the Qin Yan Marquis's residence.

Jiang Mo offered a few more words of advice, but Qin Han had her own ideas.

Qin He had also heard that the Qin Yanhou Mansion had distributed the spirit food, and the fifth branch had received some, but the second branch had nothing. Qin He was already ill, and when she heard that she wouldn't get any, she immediately got out of bed to dress up.

"What are you going to do?" Prince Xue asked.

"I'm going to ask the Qin Yan Marquis's residence why there are no spiritual vegetables for the second branch of the family." Qin He had only dressed up slightly and did not hide her haggard appearance. Why should she hide it? Only delicate white lotus flowers are favored. Qin He said, "Every time I bring spiritual vegetables back, each branch of the Marquis's residence gets a share. How can there be no spiritual vegetables for the second branch this time? Even I didn't get any. There's no reason for this."

Prince Xue sighed helplessly, "You should wait until you're fully recovered before going out."

"No," Qin He said. "I'm so angry, I can't sleep tonight."

Prince Xue handed her a cloak, saying, "Don't catch a cold."

Qin He stormed off, and it was inappropriate for Xue Shizi, as a son-in-law, to attend, lest things get unpleasant and everyone lose face. If he didn't go, and Qin He offended the elders, Xue Shizi could still go and speak on her behalf.

The Crown Princess's family background is something we have to consider.

Qin He went to the Qin Yanhou residence and first went to the second branch of the family to inquire about the situation.

Qin He's younger sister complained, "They gave everything except to our second branch. Every time the second branch gets something good, everyone gets a share. Sister Qin He, you didn't even get yours. You should get some of everyone's spiritual vegetables. You are now the heir apparent of the Xue Prince's Mansion. It would look good for you to take the spiritual vegetables back to the manor."

With her family's support, Qin He also gained face.

However, this time, neither the second branch of the family nor Qin He received any of the offerings for the spirit-sharing dishes. This was intolerable. While Cui, the legal mother of the second branch, remained calm, Qin He couldn't swallow her anger. Who did she think she was?

"I'll go ask," Qin He said angrily and left.

Cui tried to stop her, saying, "It's not a big deal. There probably isn't enough spiritual vegetables to go around."

"You can't just exclude us from the second branch of the family!" Qin He said indignantly, "Whenever I give something, is anyone else shortchanged? This time, you didn't even give me any spirit vegetables. It makes me angry just thinking about it." (End of Chapter)
