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

Madam Cui wants to ease tensions with the fourth branch of the family, but she fears it won't be easy.

Qin Tan was in his study, handling official business.

When Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Rong Yang arrived, the servants didn't even need to announce their arrival. They entered the study, and Qin Lang took out three bags of spiritual vegetables, while Rong Yang took out a basket of spicy chili peppers from her storage bag.

Qin Lang picked up the small, pointed chili peppers that had fallen to the ground.

Qin Bi reached out and took the small basket from Rong Yang, placing it on Qin Tan's desk.

Qin Tan was stunned and stood up: "This is..."

"Isn't Qin He's cultivation level high? To prevent her from retaliating, we should improve our cultivation level instead." Qin Bi said sharply, "Third Uncle, you can eat these spiritual vegetables first. If you don't believe it won't improve your cultivation level, I'll give you more after you finish eating."

Qin Tan's gaze fell on the three bags of spiritual vegetables and the basket of chili peppers. Eating these spiritual vegetables could indeed improve one's cultivation level by a little. Even a ten percent increase would give one more confidence than a ten percent decrease.

"I'll cultivate secretly and improve my cultivation little by little." Qin Bi considered the worst-case scenario: "Even if I encounter Qin He in the small space of the demon beast realm, I can still catch her off guard."

Qin Tan's expression changed, and she looked at Qin Bi for a few seconds.

Qin Tan had anticipated how the Crown Prince Rong would react and how he would handle the matter, but unexpectedly, Qin Bi made arrangements to resolve the issue by having the third and fourth branches of the family improve their cultivation levels together.

This is much better than relying on others. Who wouldn't want to improve their cultivation and embark on the path of immortality?

If given a choice, the Crown Prince Rong's attempt to reprimand Qin He would be far less effective than Qin Bi bringing back so many spiritual vegetables, especially a basket of chili peppers—a truly substantial basket.

No one knows better than Qin Tan and a few others which of the spiritual vegetables in the Prince Rong's fiefdom has the highest spiritual energy.

The little chili peppers were specially cared for by the Marquis's family's lucky little dumpling, and they had high spiritual energy. Qin Tan looked at the basket of little chili peppers, and after thinking it through, he was inexplicably excited. Instead of being wary of Qin He, he decided to improve his cultivation as a whole.

"Does Prince Rong know?" Qin Tan suppressed his excitement, worried that Prince Rong would be unhappy about so many spiritual vegetables being sent.

Qin Bi replied, "The chief strategist, Lin Yao, saw that Qin Lang was faking it."

Qin Tan was relieved and excited. He immediately instructed Qin Lang: "Go to the fourth branch and call your fourth uncle and cousin. We'll discuss cultivation, divide the spiritual vegetables, and if we don't raise our cultivation level by one level, we won't go to the small space in the demon beast realm."

"Hey." Qin Lang ran off to call for help.

"Uncle!" Rong Yang called out.

Qin Lang returned, picked up Rong Yang, and left.

Soon, Qin Di brought his two legitimate sons to Qin Tan's study in the third branch of the family. Seeing the quantity of spiritual vegetables, everyone had a better understanding of the situation and were even somewhat pleased. Their cultivation levels were lower than Qin He's, not because of poor aptitude, but because they lacked cultivation resources.

With these spiritual vegetables, one can surely improve their cultivation level.

Qin Bi roughly explained her meaning: "My idea is to share some of these three bags of spiritual vegetables with Rong Yan and Jiang Xu, so that if we encounter danger in the small space of the demon beast realm, we can advance and retreat together."

They encountered Qin He, and it was the same, along with other cultivators who killed and robbed.

On the path of cultivation, you absolutely cannot do without helpers.

Qin Tan was surprised, not expecting Qin Bi to be so thoughtful, and nodded: "Okay."

Thus, the spiritual vegetables were distributed: one bag of cabbage and radish to each family, and the remaining bag was given to Rong Yan and Jiang Xu, as well as the families of the wives of Qin Tang and Qin Xun.

The He family didn't need the money; they had extra resources to support Qin He for so many years. After the division of the property, Qin Bi brought up building a courtyard again: "Third Uncle, our fourth branch wants to build a courtyard. Do you want to expand your courtyard as well? The layout of a cultivation family is different from that of an ordinary family."

Qin Tan only just learned of this matter and glanced at Qin Di.

Qin Di said, "I haven't mentioned it to Third Brother yet. If you want to build a courtyard, we can do it together."

The yard of the three-bedroom house is alright, but it could be expanded.

Qin Tan said, "Let me think about it."

After distributing the spiritual vegetables, Qin Xun went to find Rong Yan and Jiang Xu.

Everyone moved to the courtyard of the fourth house.

The third and fourth branches of the family were on guard against Qin He causing trouble in the small space of the demon beast realm. Prince Xue brought Qin He back to the Xue Royal Mansion and immediately questioned her about what had happened. He asked why she hadn't shared any spiritual vegetables with the fourth branch before!

Prince Xue refused to share the things he gave to Qin He with the fourth branch of the family because Qin He and Qin Bi were at odds. Prince Xue was unaware that Qin He had never shared anything with the fourth branch of the family.

Qin He's previous cultivation resources were all provided by Prince He.

"You've never divided it among the four families?" Prince Xue asked again, uncertainly.

"What?" Qin He was in a bad mood. "What's wrong?"

"Before we got married, and even before that," Prince Xue said, staring at Qin He's still angry face. He shouldn't have brought it up now, but discord within the Marquis's household was not good for the Xue Prince's household. "You decided not to give any of the things Prince He gave you to the fourth branch of the family?"

"What's wrong?" Qin He didn't think there was a problem: "Why should I divide it among the four branches? Everything that Prince He gave me was for me."

Prince Xue let out a long sigh. Qin He blinked. Prince Xue dismissed the servants and then said, "Qin He, do you know that Qin Bi is the one who has been engaged to Prince He? You and Prince He have been engaged several times, but it has not been successful."

If it doesn't work out, then she's not my fiancée.

"Qin Bi is He Shizi's fiancée," Xue Shizi said. "Even if some of the things He Shizi gave to the Marquis's mansion were for you, Qin Bi also has a share. How dare you decide not to give any to the fourth branch? By what right do you decide to distribute He Shizi's things?"

"I, I..." Qin He couldn't answer.

She was never He Shizi's fiancée. Even when they tried to arrange a marriage, she vomited blood and fainted, nearly dying. After one or two such incidents, Qin He dared not become He Shizi's fiancée.

No one ever questioned her about why she, not being his fiancée, wanted He Shizi's things.

Qin He was furious and embarrassed: "So what if she's my fiancée? All of He Shizi's things are for me, so why should I give them to the fourth wife or to Qin Bi? I'm still He Shizi's childhood sweetheart."

For a moment, Prince Xue was at a loss for words when it came to Qin He. He thought Qin He was as gentle as an orchid, not greedy or mercenary, and very aloof. At the very least, if it wasn't hers, Qin He wouldn't want it.

When Prince He was choosing Qin He for marriage, Prince Xue was a good friend of Prince He, but he was not clear about some things, such as what Prince He sent to the Marquis's residence. Prince Xue had no say in these matters.

However, there's a reason why Prince Xue is so lucky; he's not a bad person.

If he hadn't gone to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence today, Prince Xue would never have known that Qin Hemei had accepted the gifts Prince He gave to the Marquis's residence. Even if Prince He didn't value his fiancée, Qin Bi still received a share of the gifts.

It's a principle that even a child understands, so Qin He's actions were perfectly natural.

It could be understood that Qin He was jealous, but even if she was jealous, she shouldn't have been eyeing the things that Prince He gave to the Marquis's mansion; Qin He wasn't short of money. (End of Chapter)
