Qin Bi readily agreed: "Okay, has Rong Chi caused any trouble?"

Rong Yang said, "She's so well-behaved."

Qin Bi didn't believe it. Rong Chi was the most troublesome, but he had people who doted on him. Rong Jun doted on him, and Rong Yang did too. Now that He Yan had joined the fray, he was fearless in his troublemaking.

For Qin Bi, the powerful minister's heir who was widowed and childless, the importance of children was clear. They were Rong Jun's life, and He Yan was no exception. But why was He Yan so happy?

Qin Bi desperately wanted to seize any opportunity to ruin He Yan. The thought of him taking a concubine still made her grit her teeth; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so angry that her lifespan was being damaged.

“Mother,” Rong Yang called out.

Qin Bi smiled and said, "We'll go back after playing for a while."

Forget it, she doesn't have the ability to touch He Yan right now. The difference in cultivation level makes it pointless to think about it. There's also Qin He. Qin He started cultivating early and has a system magic weapon. Her cultivation level is also above hers.

Why else would Qin He have such a high opinion of herself? It's because her cultivation level is among the best of her generation.

"Okay." Rong Yang lay on the table, looking at the book Qin Bi had opened.

Rong Yang is only a little over a year old, but the child doesn't make a fuss at all.

Qin Bi exclaimed, "I am so lucky."

"Why did Mother say that?" Rong Yang turned her head and looked at Qin Bi.

"The sorcerer predicted that I would have no children in this life." Qin Bi gently hugged the child, a soft little dumpling: "Rong Yang, I have you and Rong Chi, Heaven has been kind to me."

Therefore, Qin Bi can choose not to care about things that don't require her attention.

Rong Yang stopped reading and snuggled in Qin Bi's arms. Qin Bi looked down and knew the child was sleepy. She reached out and gently patted the child. Soon Rong Yang fell asleep. Qin Lang went upstairs, and Qin Bi nodded her chin towards the bed.

Qin Lang walked to the bedside and took a small blanket for Qin Bi.

Qin Bi covered Rong Yang with a small blanket. She had taken care of her nephews and nieces before and was very good at taking care of children. It could be said that Qin Bi was very good at taking care of children. Once Rong Yang fell asleep, Qin Bi would not take him home in the middle of winter.

Children who catch a cold are more likely to die young.

Qin Lang ran to tell Madam He, "Rong Yang is asleep, sister, please stay for dinner."

After thinking for a moment, Madam He instructed Qin Xun: "Go to the manor and catch a few spirit ducks to make spicy duck. Rong Yang will be awake and ready to eat. While you're at it, go to the spirit plant street and buy some spirit food that the child likes."

Since the Qin Yan Marquis's family had just become a cultivation family, spiritual food was expensive, so they generally wouldn't buy it. But it was different with Rong Yang around. Madam He especially doted on Rong Yang, and Qin Bi was her own daughter, so she could say whatever she wanted. Even if the food wasn't good, Qin Bi wouldn't say anything.

Qin Xun nodded and went to call Qin Tang. He went to the manor to catch spirit birds and ducks, while Qin Tang went to the spirit plant street. Qin Lang followed, as he knew what the children liked to eat, and he had a very good relationship with Rong Yang.

Upon learning this, Rong Jun sent someone to deliver several rare seasonings.

Qin Yan sent several spiritual fruits to the fourth branch of the family. Qin He hadn't left yet. Upon hearing the news, she ordered someone to return to the Prince's Mansion to bring Fu Bao over. Qin Bi was the Crown Prince's wife, and so was she. Qin Bi's child was precious, and her child was even a first-rank princess bestowed by the Emperor of Great Yan.

Qin He didn't say it, but she wanted to compare who had a higher status in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.

Helpless, Qin Yan sent someone to Lingzhi Street to buy a few spirit fruits and delivered them to the second branch of the family. Qin He accepted them, saying, "Fu Bao, look how much you are loved as a first-rank princess. Knowing you were coming, your uncle, the Prince Qin, even sent you spirit fruits."

Fu Bao said proudly, "I'm lucky."

Cui saw this but pretended not to know Qin He's thoughts. After all, she had earned a few spirit fruits, so she might as well compare them. Qin He was clever enough to share a spirit fruit with Qin Yuan.

No matter how naive Qin Yuan was, with Cui Shi as her legal mother, Qin He still had to coax her.

Qin He called over a maid and whispered, "Go tell Qin Han that the fourth branch of the family is having a feast today." The maid understood and immediately went to the shop to find Qin Han.

Jiang was in the kitchen overseeing the preparation of the spiritual food when she told Lin to keep an eye on the ingredients, noting whether they were too salty or bland, and which ingredients to pair with the spiritual food. She warned that the spiritual food couldn't be prepared indiscriminately.

Jiang entered the main room and said to He, "I'll go see if Rong Yang has woken up yet."

"Go ahead." Madam He waved her hand: "If he's not awake, the child needs someone to keep him company while he sleeps. Ask Qin Bi if you can bring the food to her yard so the child won't cry when he wakes up."

Jiang nodded and went to Qin Bi's courtyard.

Upstairs, Qin Bi sat by the stove and drank tea.

Jiang glanced at the bed and asked in a low voice, "Still not awake?"

Qin Bi shook her head: "No."

"Have Qin Lang eat here with you," Jiang said. "Mother said that the child needs someone to be with him while he sleeps. When lunch is ready, I'll bring a portion over to your courtyard."

Qin Bi then said, "Let's invite some of my nephews and nieces over to eat together."

Jiang thought for a moment, nodded, and left. When the spicy spirit bird duck was ready, it was covered with a layer of chili peppers, which looked very tempting. There was also roasted monster meat, which was fatty but not greasy, and served with dipping sauce.

Dishes were brought to Qin Bi's courtyard one after another. Qin Tang and Qin Lang also returned, having bought a lot of food. Qin Lang carried the food box directly to Qin Bi's courtyard, with the children following behind.

In the main room of the fourth house, Qin Xun invited Qin Tan and his wife over. Qin Di and Madam He invited everyone to sit down. They had one table, and Madam Zhu had asked Qin Bi and knew that Qin Lang and the others were eating in Qin Bi's courtyard, so she didn't bother with it.

Qin Bi had already started eating in the courtyard, and just as they were about to eat in the main room, Qin Han arrived with the child.

Ms. He: "..."

Jiang and Lin: "..."

She really knows when to arrive; we're about to eat when Qin Han comes.

Qin Di said, "Bring the child over for dinner."

Jiang Shi waved her hand and said, "Jiang Shen, come and sit here."

Qin Han put down the pastries she was carrying, washed her hands, and sat down with the children. She glanced at the ingredients on the table and saw a plate of spicy duck. Qin Han used her chopsticks to pick some for Jiang Shen and her brother.

There were no children at this table, only Jiang Shen and her brother. Qin Han didn't stand on ceremony and ordered spicy duck legs, spicy duck heads, spicy duck wings, as well as duck hearts, duck intestines, and the like.

Qin Han has good chopstick skills; she searched the plate but couldn't find anything like spicy duck leg.

Qin Han was puzzled, so she picked up a piece of meaty spirit bird duck for Jiang Shen. Jiang Shen had been craving it for a long time, so she quickly took a bite and ate it, while her younger brother ate it in small bites.

Qin Tan glanced at Qin Han picking out the best meat from the spicy duck with her chopsticks, but said nothing. Lin Shi saw this and thought, "Fine, I don't need to serve Qin Han anymore. She can pick up the food herself."

Lin also picked up a piece of spicy duck meat and put it on He's plate: "Mother, try it. I was watching it being made."

He Shi gave her some food out of courtesy, and Qin Han felt a little guilty, asking, "Where's Sister Qin Bi? Didn't she come to the Marquis's residence?"

“Rong Yang is asleep,” Jiang Shi replied. “She ate in her own courtyard.”

Qin Han's expression changed instantly, and she gave all the good food to Qin Bi. (End of Chapter)
