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

Chapter 288 Spirit Fruit Tree

Qin Yan glanced at Qin He indifferently. If you really don't want to be questioned, you should cultivate your own territory.

Since she's meddling in other people's cultivated land, why is she saying all this nonsense? Qin He is meddling in other people's land and then questioning them; this half-sister is being rather presumptuous.

When Qin Yan saw Prince Su arrive, he went over to speak with him, and Qin He followed him.

Qin Yan was surprised. He hadn't invited Qin He to come along. The Su family was a prominent family of cultivators, and the young master Su was a noble son. Many illegitimate children would seize any opportunity to befriend nobles.

Never mind, Qin Yan didn't stop Qin He.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Yan and the Prince Su and his wife, Qin He smiled gently and specifically told the couple, "Prince Su, Lady Su, I'm going to irrigate this field next."

It's as if she's the only one irrigating the land. In reality, it's not just one fortunate cultivator who summons rain. This area is quite large, and the rain summoned by one cultivator isn't enough.

Prince Su was surprised for a moment, then nodded perfunctorily: "Oh, I hope you can summon rain."

Qin He was secretly pleased. Only the chosen person could summon rain. She suppressed her pride, sighed softly, and said, "I'm just worried that after I irrigate, crops will grow in the fields, and someone will come and say it's her doing."

This is a pointed remark...

Su Shizi didn't know how to respond. Su Shizi's wife, unaware of who Qin He was referring to, smiled and said, "The farmland cultivated by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works is not something to be taken lightly. You have summoned the rain, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will stand up for you."

Qin He subtly mentioned it beforehand, letting everyone know that it was she who summoned the rain for irrigation. Seeing that Prince Su and his wife had taken it to heart, Qin He smiled, nodded, and left.

After she left, Prince Su wondered, "So confident?"

Summoning rain in the wilderness is no easy feat. Even cultivators with water-elemental roots may not be able to summon much rain. If you don't have any magical treasures, it's best not to try your luck, as it will consume your spiritual energy, affect your cultivation, and you still might not be able to summon any rain.

Qin Yan didn't say anything. He could tell that Qin He was very confident. He just hoped she wouldn't be proven wrong. He didn't know where Qin He had picked up this habit from, but she spoke so confidently.

Qin He is very confident in her business and has made a lot of money so far, so Qin Yan can't control her.

Qin He and Qin Yan chatted and laughed. Worried about getting a tan, they deliberately stood under the spirit fruit trees. There were only a few spirit peach trees. There were Rong Wang's staff members on the grape trellis. Qin He knew she couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she didn't go over.

Qin Bi ordered, "Transplant the grapevines back."

“This…” Lin Yao hesitated: “Princess Consort, it’s not good to transplant them right away since it hasn’t rained.”

Qin Bi said, "Summon them immediately."

Lin Yao couldn't persuade him anymore, so he immediately instructed his staff to summon rain to moisten the soil. Once the soil had absorbed the rainwater, the spirit fruit trees could be transplanted. There were only a few grapevines, so they didn't need much rain.

The guards were carefree and easygoing, so they went to the side. The staff waited until the soil was thoroughly wet before carefully transplanting the plants.

The Vice Minister of Revenue rushed over: "Why did you transplant them under this scorching sun today?"

Lin Yao was just following orders, and it was indeed a bit rushed. Normally, they should have been able to summon rain to transplant the fruit trees on a cloudy day. In such a hurry, the staff members used up a lot of spiritual energy to summon the rain.

Qin Bi didn't answer the Vice Minister of Revenue, but pointed to several spirit peach trees: "Do you want those spirit peach trees?"

The Vice Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up: "I want it."

Qin Bi said, "Here you go."

The Vice Minister of Revenue was overjoyed and no longer cared about the grapevines. Who cared about grapevines anyway? They belonged to the Rong Prince's Mansion. From now on, the few spirit peach trees would belong to their Ministry of Revenue.

The Vice Minister of Works arrived and argued with the Ministry of Revenue, eventually dividing up two spirit peach trees. His advisor said, "Princess Consort, we shouldn't have given them the spirit peach trees for free."

Qin Bi looked over and said, "It won't survive; the leaves are all wilted."

The Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works also valued the few spirit peach trees. Qin He volunteered, saying she was lucky. Regardless of whether the spirit fruit trees were planted by Qin Bi, Qin He took out a summoning artifact and summoned rain to irrigate the spirit peach trees.

After digging up the grapevine, Lin Yao took it with him and left the desolate land.

Back at the Rong Prince's residence, the Rong Prince didn't say anything when he saw the spirit fruit tree had been transplanted. Lin Yao understood that the Princess Consort could also make decisions on important matters, so she immediately transplanted the fruit tree to the Prince's courtyard.

The Rongwang Mansion looted the entire wilderness and left with the third and fourth branches of the family.

Qin Yan, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu arrived a little late. Qin Yan asked Qin Yan for a handful of melon seeds and vegetables, and also shared some with Qin He. When Madam Su saw this, she asked Qin Yan for some melon seeds and vegetables as well.

When the third and fourth wives returned to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, Qin Han said to Madam Jiang and Madam Lin, "Sisters-in-law, may I take a handful of melon seeds and vegetables?"

"Take it," Jiang said generously. "It's just a bunch of vegetables."

Unfortunately, Jiang regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

Qin Han somehow got hold of a bag, squatted down, and started picking out fresh melon seeds and vegetables to put into it. Jiang Shi and Lin Shi exchanged a glance; they had already filled the bag halfway, and it looked like they were going to fill it to the brim.

"If we take too much, it will spoil before we can finish it," Lin said, deliberately adding to Jiang, "I'll send some to my family later."

"I'll send some to my family too," Jiang said to Qin Han. "You won't be able to finish it all if you take too much."

Qin Han felt embarrassed and had no choice but to stop and fix the bag.

Lin was furious. "This bag is almost half full. Can you finish it?"

Qin Han couldn't finish the food, so she went back to her parents' house for dinner. She left some melon seeds and vegetables behind, and gave the rest to her sisters-in-law: "These are from my own family's land, sisters-in-law, please don't mind them."

The sisters-in-law accepted the invitation and inquired about the harvest from the farmland from Qin Han. They praised Qin Han's family for rising to prominence, saying they had become a family of cultivators, and bluntly stated, "From now on, we'll have to curry favor with you."

Qin Han secretly felt smug, but said aloud, "Our Marquis's Mansion has just become a family of cultivators."

The next day, everyone tasted the melon seeds and vegetables and exclaimed how delicious they were. Qin Han's sisters-in-law asked her for some more, so Qin Han packed up and took her two children to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence. In the Great Yan Dynasty, it was very common for married women to return to their parents' home.

The prerequisite is that the bride's family is supportive and the married daughter is willing to stay in her family home.

Jiang and Lin had already put away the melon seeds and vegetables, but the small watermelons were still there. Qin Han turned her gaze over, and Jiang gave the maids and servants a look, and they hurriedly put them away.

Jiang took Qin Han to He's courtyard and invited Lin to come and play together.

If Jiang didn't call Lin, she worried that Qin Han would go to Lin again to ask for things. Vegetables and small watermelons were not valuable, and if Qin Han asked for them, the Marquis's family would feel embarrassed to refuse.

But Jiang really didn't want to give it to Qin Han.

Qin Han was unhappy, so she took her nephews to the bustling market to buy food and came back with bags full of things.

Jiang gave Qin Han another bunch of vegetables, a bunch that the old woman had divided up. This time, Jiang was smarter and didn't let Qin Han take them herself.
