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

Chapter 218 The Family Protected by Heaven

The world of cultivation is mysterious and profound, and those protected by the Heavenly Dao are truly exceptional.

Sometimes, they will also protect a family.

The fortune of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion is beyond the comprehension of the immortal sects. The people of her sect should instruct Qin He: Regarding the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, don't just think about severing ties with relatives. Without the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, Qin He will find it difficult to move an inch.

The immortal had long felt that the Qin Yanhou family was lucky; look, Qin He was struck by lightning when she went back to her parents' home to steal credit.

The immortal asked again what was going on: "Tell me in detail."

Prince Xue was unconscious at the time and did not know the specifics. He called for his maids and servants to ask them questions, and the guards added information from the side. Qin He had rushed over in a hurry and knew nothing about the situation. The maids and servants only gave a brief account.

Upon hearing this, the immortal said, "Qin He said she was struck by lightning?"

“Uh…” The maid nodded: “Yes, the Crown Princess said that anyone who steals her credit will be struck by lightning.”

The immortal sat back down in his chair. Well, Qin He went to steal credit and even maliciously wanted others to be struck by lightning. A family protected by the Heavenly Dao, who else would be struck if not Qin He? This is utterly absurd.

"He only has himself to blame," the immortal said.

Prince Xue dared not utter a sound. Seeing that Qin He had regained her life, the immortal prepared to leave.

Before leaving, the immortal instructed Prince Xue: "I observe that the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion is protected by the Heavenly Dao. Qin He's fortune and luck are inseparable from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. Whatever thoughts Qin He may have, she must not use them on her own family."

Prince Xue was astonished. The Qin Yan Marquis's residence was actually protected by the Heavenly Dao?!
Prince Xue cupped his hands and nodded: "I will tell Qin He."

Fu Bao was also unconscious. The immortal left behind another pill before departing.

Supported by his servant, Prince Xue stood in the courtyard, deep in thought. He had heard upon waking that Qin He was protected by the Heavenly Dao, and now the immortal had told him that the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion was also protected by the Heavenly Dao. Was Qin He's good fortune and luck closely related to the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion?

And also Fu Bao's good fortune and luck...
Thinking of this, Prince Xue said, "Go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence and say that the immortal has come."

The arrival of immortals brings glory to our humble abode, further highlighting Qin He's status within the sect.

The guard obeyed the order and went to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence.

When Lady Qin Yanhou heard that people from Qin He's sect had come, her displeasure lessened somewhat. She turned to Zhu Shi of the third wife and said, "This Qin He used to be very concerned about her reputation, and her character and upbringing were quite good. She was also good at making money. But she has slowly changed since she got married. She has become mercenary, ambitious, and narrow-minded. When her own family called for rain, she even tried to steal the credit."

After a pause, Lady Qin Yanhou added, "After marrying into the Xue Prince's mansion, all she learned was how to talk. She can talk a good game, and she can talk a good game. I never realized she was so good at talking before."

With the world in his heart, he tried to turn the tide and summon rain? Wasn't he afraid of the strong winds making him bite off more?

Lady Qin Yanhou knew every detail about what happened at the Marquis's farmland that day, and she was furious. Marquis Qin Yanhou personally oversaw the matter, and the Marquis's heir was also present. Qin He shamelessly claimed that it was the rainwater she had summoned earlier.

It's a disgrace; the entire family has lost face in front of the cultivation families.

"Sigh!" Zhu put her arm on the table, she was also surprised: "When Qin Lang came back, I couldn't believe it. Qin He is such a proud person, how could she have become like this?"

Lady Qin Yanhou commented: "He is ambitious and eager for quick success."

Zhu sighed again, saying that they had all taken credit without even looking, and were indeed very ambitious.

In the courtyard of the second wife's residence, Madam Cui said to her second daughter, "Go to the Xue Prince's residence and see if Qin He has woken up yet."

Qin He's younger sister immediately agreed. Before she left, Cui said again, "If Qin He wakes up, don't listen to her. What does she mean by caring about the world and turning the tide? Qin He doesn't have that ability. The rain summoned by the Marquis's mansion has nothing to do with her."

Qin He's younger sister blushed, feeling ashamed and indignant on Qin He's behalf. Summoning her was one thing, but all that talk about caring for the world was another—quite the smooth talker! Then, thinking about it, Qin He's younger sister found it amusing, pouting wryly, utterly helpless. "Sister Qin He has only misunderstood," Qin He's younger sister said, trying to find an excuse for Qin He.

"The rain that fell on several farms was quite heavy, and she misunderstood that she knew to claim credit." It would be strange if Madam Cui believed this explanation. As the head of the household, she could see through the scheming of her concubine's daughter: "When there was no credit, Qin He didn't seem to misunderstand. But when it rained, she thought it was because she summoned it. If this misunderstanding comes true, Qin He will benefit greatly."

Reputation and fortune, when accumulated, are beneficial to cultivators.

There's also the special treatment from cultivation families; Qin He isn't stupid.

Looking at her second daughter, Cui couldn't bear to look. This girl was so stupid, she couldn't understand anything at all. Qin He could easily coax her into doing whatever she wanted with just a few words. Cui sighed, waved her hand, and signaled her to leave quickly and not get in the way.

Qin He's younger sister was going to the Xue Prince's mansion, and Qin Yan and Qin Cui followed her.

Qin He took the pill and kept her eyes closed, still not awake. The group didn't stay long, sat for a while, and then went back.

Princess Xue was anxious and sent someone to the Duke of Yan's mansion to ask for elixirs, but the Duke of Yan's wife dismissed them, saying that ordinary elixirs were useless for Qin He's condition. However, Qin He's sect sent elixirs, and it was only a matter of time before Qin He woke up.

Just wait, what's the rush?

"The better pills in our Yan State Duke's Mansion are all reserved for Rong Yang." The Yan State Duke's wife said to the nanny beside her, "If we give ordinary pills to Qin He, they will just be left aside and not used. In the end, they will just be given to someone else as a mistress. The things in the Yan State Duke's Mansion do not come from thin air."

"They've gotten used to relying on our Duke Yan's mansion," the nanny said. "They come to our Duke Yan's mansion whenever they have something to do."

Lady Yan scoffed. They've become so used to protecting Qin He that the Xue family thinks the Yan family will always protect her. Now that He Yan is ignoring Qin He, who will protect her?

Even if I'm struck by lightning, I won't wake up quickly after taking the elixir. I'll just have to endure it for now.

When Prince He returned from the palace and learned of this, he sent someone to inform Rong Yang.

"Huh?" The little dumpling went to get the small pillow.

Qin Bi was puzzled and asked him, "Where are you going?"

Rong Yang returned carrying a small pillow: "I'm going to the Duke of Yan's mansion."

Rong Jun nodded in agreement: "Go ahead."

Qin Bi: "..."

Rong Yang left with the little pillow in his arms. He was going to keep an eye on the Yan State Duke's Mansion and wouldn't give the Xue Prince's Mansion a single pill. When He Yan saw the little dumpling carrying the little pillow, the corners of his mouth curled up. He missed his child.

Good for a money-grubber; he has a way of coaxing the little guy back.

"Are there not enough pills?" Rong Yang asked Prince He, tilting her little head up.

Prince He said, "No, I've saved them all for you."

Rong Yang didn't ask any more questions. When the He family members heard that the little guy had arrived, they all returned to their residence and ran to find Rong Yang to play. Several young boys carried Rong Yang out of the residence to stroll around and go to a restaurant to eat delicious food.

The He family members who were studying at the academy all returned and gathered at the restaurant, crowding around Rong Yang.

Rong Yang recalled Qin Lang: "My uncle took me to this restaurant before."

The He family members immediately called Qin Lang over, and they all ate, drank, and had a meal together.
