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

Chapter 246 Who told you they were fooling him?
Qin Bi returned to the Marquis's residence, first went to her own courtyard to wash up, and then took the little dumpling to see Madam He.

"Mother," Qin Bi said proudly, "the little watermelons I planted have started to grow. I'll pick some for you to make pickled vegetables later. They're the little watermelons that grow from the spirit melons of the Wilderness."

"You silly child." Madam He called Rong Yang over, took the little dumpling in her arms, and was happy that Qin Bi was thinking of her in every way, but said, "The spirit melon is rare. Let it grow. How can you pick it when it's so small?"

Since He didn't know anything about planting, Qin Bi explained, "If you want a melon vine to grow well, it's best to only produce one melon. If you produce too many, it won't grow properly. I'm thinking of making pickled vegetables for the small watermelons when they grow a bit bigger. Would you like some, Mother?"

Madam He smiled irritably: "Bring it here after you've pickled it."

"This is it!" Qin Bi was overjoyed, and Rong Yang was also delighted.

Lin quickly replied, "I want one too."

Jiang smiled and said, "I also love to eat refreshing pickled vegetables."

Qin Bi smiled and agreed. Qin Yan's servant ran over to call her. Qin Yan, Qin Xun, and the others were waiting for Qin Bi in the courtyard of the main house. When Qin Bi was about to leave, Rong Yang hurriedly followed. Madam He was very easygoing and just looked after Rong Yang.

When Madam Jiang learned that it was related to the Marquis of Anyuan's residence, she went along as well. Madam Lin was afraid of this mysterious thing, but she was also curious, so she hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Upon arriving at Qin Yan's courtyard, tea was served, and everyone chatted casually.

"What's going on with the matter of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir?" In Qin Yan's opinion, telling fortunes was just swindling, but Qin Lang's Five Grains Abundant Cloud was really rare. Qin Yan was half-believing and half-doubting, and said, "The Marquis of Anyuan's family can be considered a fallen immortal cultivation family. The elders are all in seclusion to cultivate, and only the Marquis of Anyuan's generation is in charge of the family affairs. Although this family has fallen on hard times, everyone knows them, so it's not easy to fool them too much."

Qin Lang waved his hand: "I'm not kidding!"

Qin Bi was displeased: "Who told you to fool him?"

Qin Yan was annoyed. Did anyone need to tell him this? Qin Lang didn't know anything about divination, but suddenly he started telling fortunes for people. Not to mention him, even his father, Qin Yanhou, was speechless. Let alone believing that Qin Lang knew anything about being a sage.

Qin Lang, a demigod?!

Jiang leaned closer to Qin Lang and asked, "You've earned quite a few demon beast crystals, haven't you?"

Rong Yan looked on curiously, his gaze probing. Qin Lang, however, was not satisfied: "You only get two monster crystals for each spell cast."

Two is not too many. You're not good at fortune telling anyway. Jiang said, "That's enough. You're complaining about earning two monster crystals per spell? You don't even see how often the Marquis of Anyuan's son comes. He gets possessed every two days. Your monster crystals are all free."

"Wow!" Rong Yan exclaimed in surprise, "You're making so many crystals?!"

No wonder many cultivators like to tell fortunes and swindle people. Earning monster crystals is too easy. Just spout nonsense, and as long as people believe it, it's not hard to earn monster crystals. This is much better than killing monsters in the small space of the monster realm.

"Do you even know how to tell fortunes?" Lin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I do." Qin Lang was almost stumped by the question.

Seeing Qin Lang's expression, Lin became even more suspicious. Qin Lang had paused just now, which was obviously a lie. Actually, Lin could understand that if Qin Lang really wanted to tell someone something, he would pretend to know even if he didn't.

Why do some fortune tellers not gain people's trust? It's because they try to extract information from people while telling their fortunes, which is why they seem so accurate. Some people truly believe in this stuff, while others find it hard to believe even if they wanted to.

Of the people in Qin Yan's courtyard, apart from Qin Bi and Qin Lang, none of them really believed it.

The siblings were trying to fool the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan. The heir was indeed a very honest child, but then again, the Marquis of Anyuan's wife had a rogue sorcerer examine him, and it was clear there was a problem. "Sigh!" Madam Lin sighed deeply, sitting down next to Qin Bi. It really wasn't clear whether it was true or not.

Qin Bi glanced at Lin Shi, thinking, "She's worrying for nothing."

If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. There's nothing wrong with the Lin family. Why are you sighing and complaining? Isn't that just being a busybody?
Jiang stood next to Qin Lang, looking at him with great suspicion.

Qin Yan sighed softly and said, "Since you can tell fortunes, then tell the fortunes of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir. This whole thing isn't convincing at all! Who would believe you can do it? You can't even tell the fortunes of one person properly."

These words were very hurtful, and both Qin Bi and Qin Lang glared at Qin Yan.

"The Marquis of Anyuan's family doesn't want the Marquis of Anyuan's heir to be well, and you can blame the fortune teller?" Qin Bi was displeased. "Qin Lang told the Marquis of Anyuan's heir long ago that it was his second aunt who was poisonous. She kept going to his house to try and get some good fortune. The whole family couldn't even stop a living person. They tried to reason with her, but nothing worked. They even sent away the dead? They couldn't even negotiate with the living. The whole family is so cowardly that they can't send away either the dead or the living."

Qin Bi lost her temper, so Jiang Shi walked over to her and said gently, "Well, we're an orphan and a widow. If we really don't let anyone into the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis of Anyuan and his wife will be accused of mistreating the second wife."

Qin Bi sneered and gave up: "Oh, so according to you, the heir of Marquis Anyuan will benefit from this good fortune?"

Since the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion was inactive, she and Qin Lang were even less inclined to care.

Jiang choked, glancing at Qin Bi and Qin Lang, who didn't seem worried at all. It made sense; what did it have to do with Qin Bi and Qin Lang? Whether they cared about their fate or not, only they knew how to suffer.

Upon hearing Qin Bi's words, Rong Yan also became concerned: "Princess Consort, how can the Marquis of Anyuan's heir recover?"

Qin Bi didn't mince words and said bluntly, "Slap her across the face, give her a good slap. If she's up to no good, it's hard to say. But if you beat her up badly, she won't be thinking about harming anyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads repeatedly.

"That's inappropriate," Qin Yan objected first. "Powerful families value their reputation. If they bully orphans and widows, they will be looked down upon by these noble families. As for bringing them good fortune? No one will believe that."

At this point, Qin Yan turned to Qin Bi and asked, "What methods do you have to make people believe that the second branch of the family is blessed with good fortune?"

Qin Bi chuckled: "Believe it or not."

Look, Qin Yan sneered, and Qin Bi had no choice. After chatting for a long time, to be honest, the Qin heirs were even less convinced. Qin Lang only knew that the second aunt of the Marquis of Anyuan was blessed, but he couldn't explain anything else.

"This is pointless," Rong Yan said, getting up to take his leave.

When Madam He heard that these younger generation members had gathered in Qin Yan's courtyard to talk about fortune-telling, she was both angry and amused. Let them be, Madam He was too lazy to care. She only sent Qin Tang, who had just returned, to urge Qin Bi not to take the child home too late.

Qin Bi got up to leave, and before leaving, she said to Qin Yan, "The Marquis of Anyuan's right tooth has been hurting these past two days, and tomorrow it will be the left side. His cousin, the Marquis of Anyuan, is known for his generosity, giving him a hundred taels of silver. Give it to him, because his second aunt is bringing him bad luck; he has no serious illnesses, but he's constantly getting minor ones."

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Yan didn't believe it, but asking wouldn't hurt. He would send a servant tomorrow to inquire whether the Marquis of Anyuan's heir had switched to the other side of his toothache.

Qin Bi asserted again, "A cold won't get better either."
