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

Chapter 186 Is Prince He giving a warning to the Xue Prince's Mansion?

Cui laughed in exasperation; so that was the problem.

Listen to that tone, that choice of words.

They didn't give us anything?
"It's no wonder, how could you even say that? Why should people give you things just because you go to their house? That's what she was thinking. Where did this rumor come from? Fu Bao shouldn't have asked for spirit fruits just because she went to their house."

Are spirit fruits just rotten vegetable leaves? You can't just open your mouth and ask for them.

Fu Bao is young, so he must understand the rarity of the spiritual fruit.

This is because they've never had enough of taking advantage, their appetites have grown too big, and they've become entitled to want things.

The spirit fruit won't even hurt your teeth anymore.

You idiot! They already have their own child. Instead of knowing when to stop, you push your luck. Even if you are He Shizi's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, if you keep going too far, you'll end up like a mosquito bite.

Besides, the entire He family is Rong Yang's backer. You are just He Shizi's white moonlight. Who do you think you are, daring to endlessly covet the things of the Duke of Yan's mansion?

You're dreaming too much. Even if Prince He is willing, Duke Yan won't allow it.

“The Heir Apparent has a child.” Madam Cui sighed, somewhat worried about how Qin He would proceed with her plans at the Duke of Yan’s mansion. She took a sip of tea and said, “Your Prince’s mansion and the Duke of Yan’s mansion should be visited with caution.”

What is there to consider? As for the Cui family's scheming, Qin He scoffed, "I'm not the kind of person who's full of petty thoughts."

Cui nearly choked on her tea: "Cough cough cough..."

That's really hypocritical; she's just pretending to be innocent and pure.

The old woman beside Cui gave Qin He a strange look, then quickly patted Cui's back to help her catch her breath. A maid took the teacup and wiped the table. Cui coughed a few times and waved her hand.

The maid poured another cup of tea, and the old woman said to Qin He, "Miss Qin He, don't be ungrateful. Madam is planning this for you. You've become a good person here."

"You..." Qin He blushed.

Qin He dared not act rashly towards the nanny that Cui had brought from her maiden home.

Cui took a sip of tea to suppress her cough, took a deep breath, and cleared her mind. She was annoyed that Qin He wanted to act like a pure and innocent girl, but she still had to give her some pointers to prevent her ideal woman from becoming worthless.

The second branch of the family did not want to give up He Shizi's power, so they still wanted to pull Qin He along to prevent her from ruining a good move. Qin Jue and the second branch of the family still had to rely on He Shizi.

Without the protection of Prince He, just look at the previous fourth branch of the family.

The reason why Qin Bi's marriage proposal was repeatedly rejected was because of the future prospects of the eldest son, the career path of the fourth branch of the family, and the fact that the choice of the eldest son's wife was delayed. The fourth branch of the family could only rely on the Duke of Yan's mansion.

Later, Qin Bi stopped accompanying them, and the fourth branch of the family no longer relied on Prince He.

It must be said that the fourth wife, Qin Di, and his wife treated Qin Bi, their illegitimate daughter, extremely well. Normally, the marriage of an illegitimate daughter is always based on the interests of the family, and it is common to pave the way for the legitimate son. Qin Bi was able to successfully divorce because He Shi supported her.

The fact that Madam He allowed Qin Bi to divorce shows that she was putting her son's future aside.

If it were Qin He, Cui Shi wouldn't be able to disregard her eldest son's future.

"Qin He, Prince He is indeed good to you, and good to Fu Bao as well." Cui Shi looked at Qin He and said, "But the premise of his goodness to you is that Prince He has no children. Now that he has children, it's all fake, it's all fake."

Qin He was unconvinced but didn't argue back; what she was really thinking was anyone's guess.

After Cui Shi took a sip of tea, Qin He spoke up, unable to hold back, "Children aren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Children raised by your side are no different from your own." Cui Shi felt a lump in her throat: "Think what you want, but I just want to tell you, when Fu Bao goes to the Duke of Yan's mansion again, don't act like you're not an outsider and ask for everything you want. Don't you feel ashamed if you're looked down upon?"

"Fu Bao has been going to the Duke of Yan's mansion since she was a child." Qin He said confidently, "What's the difference between her and the children of the Duke of Yan's mansion? Treating yourself as an outsider, wouldn't that chill the heart of the Duke of Yan's wife?"

It was all Qin He's fault. Cui was furious and decided to speak frankly. Don't think you're so important. Cui said, "I might as well tell you straight, most of the people who mocked Fu Bao for not knowing manners came from the Yan State Duke's Mansion."

Qin He said bitterly, "It must be that the other branches of the He family are jealous of Fu Bao."

Then Qin He added, "I want to tell Prince He that we can't just let this go."

Cui shattered Qin He's illusions: "The Yan State Duke's Mansion is the residence of Prince He, and he has the final say. Prince He will not allow anyone to speak ill of Fu Bao. Fu Bao is asking for things that don't belong to her. Prince He is giving a warning to your Xue Prince's Mansion."

"Impossible." Qin He firmly refused to believe it.

Cui waved her hand wearily and said, "Go back. If you like being humiliated, send your child to continue begging for things."

Qin He seemed to be deep in thought, then took her leave.

It took Cui a while to calm down. What a fool! She had helped Qin He plan for so long, hoping that Qin He would listen to even a word or two, so as not to wear down the little affection He Shizi had for Qin He.

“Madam,” the old woman said, “Judging from Miss Qin He’s expression, she won’t listen to you.”

"Sigh!" Madam Cui pinched her brow and sighed, "We share the same fate, so why can't she be as sensible as the fourth concubine's daughter, who knows how to think of her father and brothers? Now I finally understand why Madam He supported Qin Bi."

The old woman advised Cui: "Miss Qinhe knows a lot of things and knows how to make money, but the one in the fourth branch doesn't know how to make money."

Cui sighed, "That's all Qin He has to offer."

When Qin He's younger sister heard that Qin He had come, she came looking for her. Upon learning that Qin He had left, her sister left as well. The other branches of the Qin Yan Marquis's household, upon hearing the rumors, had various thoughts and were mostly puzzled.

In the past, when Fu Bao was willful, everyone would only say she was cute, but no one would say she was rude.

“I must say, Fu Bao is indeed willful,” said Madam Zhu, the third wife.

Qin Lang also said, "Qin He herself is a green tea b*tch without realizing it, how can she raise a good child?"

Zhu guessed, "They're probably going to the Duke of Yan's mansion to ask for something."

Qin Lang was puzzled, and Zhu Shi said, "Who else has spiritual fruits to give to Fu Bao? There is no one else but the Duke of Yan's mansion."

“That’s true. I’ve gotten used to eating and taking things from the Duke of Yan’s mansion these past two years.” Qin Lang took a fruit, took a bite, and said, “My appetite has grown. I don’t even care about taking spiritual fruits anymore.”

“Sending the child to beg for things.” Zhu said disdainfully, “Princess Xue is also a worthless person.”

“Not a single good person in that family.” Qin Lang ate the delicious food. “Is this the fruit from our estate? How ripe are they? I’ll pick a basket and take it to Rong Yang.”

Zhu said, "You have to pick them carefully."

Qin Lang ate the fruit and left. He was thinking about his little nephew Rong Yang. He would think of Rong Yang whenever he had something good. As for the little one? He dared not give him any food. The young master Rong protected him like a precious jewel, afraid that he would get cold or be exposed to the wind.

If Qin Lang coughs while eating fruit, he'll be in serious trouble.

Qin Lang went to the estate and picked a basket of fruit, which he then sent to the Rong King's residence.
