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

Chapter 168 Powerful Summoning

Qin He was as gentle and unassuming as an orchid, and no one believed what she said.

Qin Jue considered himself to know his half-sister fairly well, so he asked her again.

Therefore, Prince Qin Yan stopped asking.

"I didn't," Qin He retorted. "It wasn't me who spread it."

Qin Jue was disappointed. Whether Qin He spread the rumor or not was not important. What was certain now was that Qin He had asked for a beating, and she had brought it on herself. There was no way the second branch of the family could save face.

Even if it's just a rumor, and Qin He's mistake was unintentional, Qin Bi should still be punished if she minds.

Lady Qin Yanhou also looked serious: "When did our young lady become so gossipy? Qin He, this is your fault. Don't come back and talk nonsense again."

Qin He became agitated, her eyes red as she glared at Qin Bi: "You're framing me? I didn't gossip."

Qin He showed no remorse, acting as if she had been greatly wronged.

Seeing Qin He's expression of having done nothing wrong, some people wavered. Perhaps Qin He really did not mean it, and it was a bit much for her to be beaten and lose face for it. Lady Qin Yanhou even wanted to let it go lightly.

"I'm framing you?" Qin Bi said coldly, "Who do you think you are? Don't think no one knows what you're thinking. You just want to use this as an excuse to make the Marquis's mansion despise me."

"I didn't," Qin He said loudly and righteously. "You would think of me like this if you had such thoughts. Aunt, cousin, mother, you must stand by my side. Qin Bi is just a petty person who likes to compare herself with me in everything."

Everyone's expression changed. Now, it seemed that it wasn't about who was right or wrong, but who was more capable.

If Lady Qin Yanhou and her son Qin Yan choose Qin He, even if they don't dislike Qin Bi, Qin He will have a higher status in the Qin Yanhou household and will be more valued by her family.

The ladies looked at Qin He, then at Qin Bi, while the others silently made their choices.

Qin He is a disciple of the immortal sect and has a likable personality. She also has high fortune. A large part of the Hou family's money was earned by Qin Yan and Qin He running shops together. Qin Bi only married well; she herself has no ability.

Qin He noticed everyone's expressions. To increase her chances, she took out a summoning artifact with a stream drawn on it and walked towards the small garden in the courtyard of the main house.

"Compared to Qin Bi, I have better talent." Qin He waved her hand while holding the summoning artifact, using it to summon rain: "With my fortune points protecting the Marquis's mansion, it will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

As she was summoned, a small cloud flew overhead, just big enough to bring a small amount of rain.

This offer was undeniably tempting. As a newly established cultivation family, the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion was naturally drawn to any spell that could summon rain. They didn't care who was right or wrong, or whether it was beneficial or harmful to the family.

"It has summoned rain!" The young lady of the Marquis's mansion excitedly pulled her sister beside her.

"Sister Qin He is truly amazing. Why would she need to scheme against others?" Qin Yan said with a smile. "It's been almost rainless in the Great Yan this summer. Being able to summon rain is what makes you truly capable."

Qin He's younger sister snorted at Qin Bi: "Our Marquis's Mansion will definitely protect Sister Qin He. Even if Sister Qin He is wrong, we won't hold it against her."

When these words reached the ears of the He family and others, the young master Qin Yan stared at the cloud with joy, while Qin Xun frowned. In this world, the strong are respected. If Qin He took out the magic artifact that summons rain, who would still criticize Qin He for being wrong?

Qin Jue's expression improved somewhat. As long as Qin He was capable, minor mistakes were no big deal.

Qin Lang's heart sank as he arrived. Madam Zhu shook her head at him; Qin He was a talented woman, and whether it was earning money or gaining fame in the capital, coupled with her status as a disciple of a celestial sect, it was obvious who the Marquis's mansion valued more. The rain-laden clouds needed time to condense, and Qin He continued summoning, a smug look on her face.

The people from the first, second, and fifth branches of the family looked delighted, hoping for rain. Regardless of the amount of rain, as long as they could summon the scarce rainwater, they would be treated like royalty in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.

Qin Bi stood with Jiang Shi and Lin Shi. When they saw the cloud above Qin He's head, Qin Bi reached out her hand. Before anyone could wonder what she was going to do, the cloud, which had gathered a little rain, flew away from Qin He's head and headed straight for Jiang Shi.

"My goodness!" Jiang hurriedly caught the flying cloud.

Qin Lang realized what was happening and hurriedly rummaged through the storage bag.

Lady Qin Yanhou and her son Qin Yan were stunned, and the others were also momentarily speechless. Qin He was dumbfounded, not understanding why the cloud she had painstakingly summoned had disappeared.

"Sister-in-law," Qin Bi sneered, then said to Jiang Shi, "You own land, right? This cloud-shaped cloud is yours."

Jiang was overjoyed. Qin Lang pulled out a storage bag, which Qin Xun snatched away. He walked up to Jiang and put the cloud into the storage bag. In this way, any cultivator could create rain.

"We've caught a cloud!" Qin Lang said with delight.

"Those are the clouds I summoned." Qin He was anxious and sought support from Prince Qin Yan and Lady Qin Yan: "Eldest cousin, aunt, Great Yan is short of rain, and Qin Bi actually dared to stop me from summoning rain. She is too ignorant."

In the cultivation world where rain is scarce, it is absolutely forbidden to disrupt the summoning of rain.

Qin Bi didn't even need Prince Qin Yan to make a choice. Wasn't Qin He proud of summoning rain? Then let Qin He see what summoning rain really meant. Qin Bi mobilized her battle qi and pushed the clouds and mist in the sky.

In a short while, dark clouds gathered, and the heavy, swirling clouds turned day into night. The changes in the sky were quite frightening.

The entire capital city was thrown into the streets in panic. At the same time, the Emperor of Great Yan and his ministers in the palace were also alarmed. They hurried out of the main hall to observe the movement of the clouds. Dark clouds covered the area, and clusters of dark clouds rushed in one direction.

"This...this..." The Emperor of Great Yan exclaimed excitedly, "Is it going to rain heavily?!"

The Prime Minister nodded excitedly: "Judging from these clouds, this rain must be quite heavy; it's finally going to rain."

The Minister of Works asked in bewilderment, "Why are all these clouds moving in one direction?"

The chubby Emperor of Great Yan and his prime minister squinted as they observed. The emperor pointed to the sky and then to the capital of Great Yan, saying, "As long as the dark clouds don't disperse, with this rolling black cloud formation, it's bound to rain in the capital."

The emperor and his ministers were certain that it would rain, and the people of the capital were also looking up and hoping for rain. They didn't find the dark, heavy clouds frightening at all, and the women were busy packing things that they were afraid of getting wet.

"This rain won't be light," the elderly man said, stroking his beard.

The person next to him said cheerfully, "Finally, it's going to rain."

The people of Da Yan have been hoping for rain since the beginning of summer, as the land is almost parched.

In the front garden of Qin Yanhou's mansion, the crowd was unaware that the dark clouds had been summoned. They looked up at the rolling black clouds with surprise and joy. Rong Jun held his youngest son in his arms, while He Yan picked up Rong Yang.

In the courtyard of the main house, Qin He looked horrified: "This is a demonic wind, it's terrifying."
