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

Chapter 240 What a pretentious guy!
In this fictional world of cultivation, there is a concept of fortune and luck.

Snatching luck is commonplace, especially among cultivation families. If a family snatches a top-tier piece of luck, it can bring glory to the entire family. Snatching luck is nothing special in this world.

Good fortune is something people are born with, and it is something most people envy.

Qin Bi didn't want others to share in her good fortune. Whoever has good fortune should keep it to themselves. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to keep your own good fortune to yourself. Qin Bi might not have cared before, but ever since the appearance of the second aunt of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir, Qin Bi has become very wary.

That woman is vicious and selfish; she's willing to abandon all sense of shame to achieve her goals.

This shows how important one's innate good fortune and luck are. Some people go to any lengths to gain good fortune and ward off bad luck. If that's the case, why not protect your own good fortune and luck?

"This..." Qin Lang looked at the sky; it was getting late. "I'll try using my semi-immortal power to grow things tomorrow."

"We'll have to do it tomorrow," Qin Bi said. "I'm out of watermelon seeds."

Qin Lang frowned: "Let me think of a way."

Lin Yao was really worried about his Crown Princess and the young prince's melon seedlings, so he gave a few instructions to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and told everyone to go back. Then the people from the Ministry of Works also came and left some people to help watch over the melon seedlings in the fields.

Qin Bi turned around and noticed, thinking that giving two melon seedlings was worthwhile, since the other party had taken care of it.

Everyone headed towards the teleportation array, and Rong Yan said, "Princess Consort, I'd like to buy two of your melon seedlings."

Qin Bi threw the question at Qin Lang: "You should buy Qin Lang's later."

"Huh?" Rong Yan was stunned. When did Qin Lang start growing melon seedlings?! How come he didn't know?

Qin Xun and the others also looked at Qin Lang, who was dumbfounded; he didn't have any melon seedlings.

Qin Bi explained, "Qin Lang will plant watermelons tomorrow."

Qin Xun asked Qin Lang and found out what was going on. Everyone was skeptical. This was a spirit melon seedling, something that even the immortal sects coveted. Could Qin Lang really grow it just like that? Who would believe it!

As they approached the teleportation array, Qin Bi suddenly instructed Qin Lang: "Take good care of your fortune and luck. If you can get rid of anything from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, then don't take it. And don't give them anything."

Qin Lang was puzzled, but he knew that the second aunt of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir was shrewd. She could benefit from the Marquis of Anyuan's good fortune and luck, so she could also scheme against others. She was no good.

"Alright." Qin Lang nodded: "I'm not going to pay any attention to the Marquis of Anyuan's heir."

“No.” Qin Bi smiled: “If he asks you for help, you are a demigod, so it will be beneficial for you to do so.”

"What are the benefits?" Qin Lang's eyes lit up.

"I'll tell you tomorrow," Qin Bi said, keeping him in suspense.

Once everyone arrived at the teleportation array, they activated it and left the desolate land.

Prince Rong came to the place where the Ministry of Revenue activated the teleportation array to pick up his wife and children. Rong Yang ran over, and the tall, handsome man bent down and picked up the little dumpling. Qin Bi said goodbye to everyone and got into the carriage to go home.

He Zu rode back to the Duke of Yan's mansion, but He Yan was still in the palace and had not returned.

When He Zu met the Duchess of Yan, he sat on a chair in the main hall. He Zu touched the teacup for a long time without saying a word. The Duchess of Yan asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did the Crown Prince's wife give you a hard time?"

He Zu shook his head and told them about how Qin Bi and Rong Yang had grown the spirit melon seedlings.

Lady Yan was also surprised, and then fell silent. He Zu took a sip of tea before saying, "I initially looked down on the fourth concubine's daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis's family because she was ordinary, and I tried my best to protect Qin He. After all, the wife of the heir of my Yan Duke's family is extremely noble. Not just anyone can marry my cousin. Qin He can earn money, so she is more suitable."

After a pause, He Zu lowered his head and said, "Looking back now, I was too presumptuous." The Duchess of Yan sighed, deeply regretting that Qin He had performed too well. She knew how to run a shop and came up with some novel little gadgets, which naturally made her exceptionally favored.

Qin Bi'an was so engrossed in her inner quarters that everyone was blinded and mistook a fish eye for a pearl.

Lady Yan sighed, "It's too late to talk about it now."

He Zu felt a pang of guilt and a terrible feeling. If he hadn't sided with Qin He, would Qin Bi have necessarily gotten a divorce? He Zu imagined what it would be like if they hadn't divorced and was filled with regret.

Even if Qin Bi had no other skills, the fact that she gave birth to Rong Yang was enough to make the He family regret their actions.

He Zuqian was furious with Qin He. What a hypocrite! Rong Yang has already returned to the Duke of Yan's mansion, yet Qin He still sends Fu Bao to the Duke of Yan's mansion again and again to ask for things. Does she think she owes anyone something?

At the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, Qin Lang and Qin Xun returned and first went to the fourth branch of the family. When they mentioned that Qin Bi and Rong Yang had grown spirit melon seedlings, Qin Di and Madam He were surprised, while Madam Jiang and Madam Lin found it unbelievable.

"Is it really a spirit melon seedling?" Lin asked again.

"Really." Qin Lang nodded: "My sister wants me to try planting some tomorrow too."

Realizing he didn't have any spirit melon seeds yet, Qin Lang couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and called Qin Xun to go find the Crown Prince's cousin, Qin Yan. Qin Yan had a wide network of connections, so it was the right thing to ask Qin Yan for any seeds he wanted.

Jiang and Lin also went out. Qin Di said to He Shi, "If only we had paid more attention to Qin Bi as much as we would have to when she was the legitimate daughter."

Madam He didn't speak. Her illegitimate daughter was still inferior to her eldest legitimate daughter. Madam He didn't think Qin Bi was a bad child, but deep down she still favored her eldest legitimate daughter.

In the Rong Prince's mansion, Rong Yang happily told Rong Jun about the spirit melon seedlings she had planted. The young prince soaked a towel, wrung it out, and used it to wipe the little dumpling's face, a slight look of surprise appearing on his handsome face.

"How many?" Rong Jun asked.

“More than ninety trees,” Qin Bi replied.

"Mother, give me a few." Rong Yang's little face was wiped clean, and she was a lovely little girl. "Father, if the spirit melons grow, we won't have to go to the Immortal Sect to buy them."

Rong Jun smiled and said, "Okay."

Ignoring the smaller one, Rong Jun re-soaked the towel, wrung it out, and wiped Qin Bi's face. Qin Bi didn't move, but said, "I'll just wash my face. Wiping it won't feel as refreshing as washing it."

Rong Jun ignored her and continued to gently wipe her face: "Your health is not good, and you are easily chilled."

Qin Bi let the man wipe her face. Rong Yang followed Rong Jun closely. After wiping Qin Bi's face, the man threw the towel into the basin and said that he was going to Rong Wang's courtyard to pick up his youngest son.

Rong Chi was carried back and snuggled into Qin Bi's arms.

Qin Bi held the little dumpling with affection, and Rong Yang followed beside her. For dinner, they had cold chicken salad. The spirit plant chicken was freshly stewed, and the chicken tasted very fresh. Both Rong Yang and Rong Chi loved it.

"Where did it come from?" Qin Bi asked.

“It was sent by the Emperor.” Rong Jun fed his youngest son a light chicken soup. “The Emperor knew that you and Rong Yang had gone to the wilderness, so he sent a spirit plant chicken. Prince He sent a few strings of spirit fruits, and I also bought two spirit melons.”

When Prince He sent gifts, some were from Rong Yang (a type of bird), and some were from Rong Chi (another type of bird).

"Don't buy spirit food from the immortal sect anymore." Qin Bi felt sorry for her and said, "It's too expensive. If you want to eat spirit melons, wait until the spirit melons I grow grow."
