Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

She knew all too well that these herbs would be given to An Jiuyue in the end. How could she accept this when An Jiuyue had clearly done nothing!

The ones in front of them slaying demonic beasts were the guards, who ensured they could harvest so much. If anyone deserved a share, it was the guards, so why should An Jiuyue, an idler, get any?

Yet before she could finish her thoughts, she saw Brother Zhen and the others already offering half of their medicinal herbs.

“Brother Zhen, how could you… you all…”

Her eyes widened in shock as she watched the herbs being handed to Zhan Beiye, anger nearly exploding within her.

These were the herbs they had gathered with great difficulty. She had thought Brother Zhen and the others were storing the herbs in two parts to give one share to her.

She had been delighted for a long time, believing that despite their numerous complaints about her, they still cared for her. She had resolved not to report them to the sect upon her return, foregoing grievances in light of the substantial amount of herbs.

Now it was crystal clear that the herbs were not meant for her, and they had been prepared for An Jiuyue all along!

How could they do this? Wasn’t she their junior sister?

“Prince Zhan, these herbs were meant for you all from the start. We could not have gathered herbs in peace without you and your men’s assistance,” said Brother Zhen calmly.

“We have always been setting aside a portion of the herbs. Please pass them on to the Princess Consort of the Second Rank,” Xuanyuan Zimo stepped forward, presenting half of his gathered herbs.

Zhan Beiye nodded in approval without saying anything further and took the herbs before turning his attention to Gu Qingyu.

“Miss Gu, if you wish to remain as a wild woman in the Zhedu Sea Area, you need not give anything,” he said.

“Hiss!”

Gu Qingyu inhaled sharply.

What did that mean? If she didn’t hand over her herbs, would they not let her board their ship to return?

How could they do this? How were they any different from bandits?

“It’s just some herbs, I’ll give them!”

She gritted her teeth, yielding to Zhan Beiye’s forceful demands, and handed over half of her gathered herbs.

Zhan Beiye took the herbs and walked away without looking back.

Gu Qingyu, meanwhile, turned to glare at Brother Zhen and the others, questioning them angrily.

“How can you have no backbone?”

She was utterly infuriated, believing they had lost all the honor of their sect with their spineless behavior!

“Junior Sister Qingyu has a backbone and can go take back the herbs, just remember not to board the ship later,” Brother Zhen said flatly.

“I…”

Gu Qingyu opened her mouth but ultimately dared not say anything.

“Don’t you understand why we have to give away so much of our herbs, Junior Sister Gu?” one of the senior brothers couldn’t help but ask Gu Qingyu.

As if they were willing to give away so much – those herbs were worth a fortune in silver. To be willing would be absurd!

But what could they do?

Throughout the journey, Gu Qingyu had been slandering An Jiuyue and causing mischief among the guards. Did she think they were blind or deaf to her actions?
