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

Chapter 229 is truly despicable.

If a family is harmonious, others can't really say anything.

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan was restless and felt empty inside, so he had a strong urge to confide in others. Since everyone had nothing else to do, they chatted over tea, and Lady Jiang asked about the situation of the second aunt's family.

“My second aunt’s family are merchants,” said the heir of Marquis Anyuan. “Both her parents have passed away. She has nine siblings, five of whom are still alive. Oh, and my second aunt’s younger brother is a rogue sorcerer.”

Qin Bi and Qin Lang immediately perked up. "Master," they thought, "they're instantly captivated by the name."

Qin Bi pondered. There were nine brothers and sisters, and now five of them were gone, which meant that almost half of them had died. The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan continued, saying that his second aunt's father had died early, and her mother had died later.

"How is the reputation of your second aunt's brother as a rogue cultivator?" Jiang asked the Marquis of Anyuan's heir after glancing at Qin Bi and Qin Lang.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir didn't understand anything about sorcerers. He only said, "He's quite famous. Some people go to him for advice because they hear it's very profitable. He advised my second and third uncles. Our Marquis's family doesn't really believe in this stuff. As a result, right after he advised them, my second uncle died, and my third aunt passed away a couple of years ago. Only our eldest son's family is still alive."

Jiang: "Uh..."

Lin: "??????"

Qin Lang's lips twitched. This guy's judgment wasn't very good either; he'd already seen through everything.

However, this was only the opinion of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir. Others did not know the situation or that several families of the Marquis of Anyuan's family had been instructed by his second aunt, a sorcerer brother.

The other company that received the advice was alright; nothing major happened.

“I went to his house for medical treatment when I was a child.” The heir of Marquis Anyuan took a sip of tea and said, “I heard people say that it was very mysterious, that something could spin very fast and was very magical. I just watched it spin on the washboard, and there was nothing magical about it.”

Qin Bi also took a sip of tea. Fine, the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan doesn't believe in mysticism at all.

The tea was not very good and quickly became weak. The servant went to brew fresh tea. During this time, Qin Yanhou glanced at the courtyard from his study, turned away speechlessly, and went back into the room to continue talking with his two brothers.

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan was a rather naive child. He was not a bad person, but rather sincere. His naivety masked any cunning he might have. He was open and honest and loved to chat. Qin Bi started talking to him.

Qin Bi needs to find out more about his second aunt.

A fortune teller can't figure things out; he just guesses.

"Tell me about your second aunt's family," Qin Bi said. "She has so many brothers and sisters, and it seems quite a few have died."

“Oh dear, speaking of which, my second aunt is a jinx!” The heir of Marquis Anyuan had long been puzzled, and he found it unbelievable: “Not only my second aunt, but all her brothers and sisters have had a tough time. Apart from the few remaining ones, the others are all dead. Her sister is a widow, her sister-in-law is a widow, and her two brothers are widowers. Whoever marries one of her brothers or sisters dies. Several of her nephews and nieces have also died. Only her second brother’s family is safe and sound. Her second brother’s wife is a troublesome person, but I must say, she’s lucky. She wasn’t cursed to death, nor did she become a widow.”

Jiang: "..."

Lin: "..."

Lin stood up, feeling a bit cold, even in the middle of summer.

Qin Lang was speechless. After careful calculation, he realized that the second aunt of the Marquis of Anyuan's son was also a jinx to her husbands. Good heavens, the whole family was cursed. Whoever married into their family would die, becoming either a widow or a widower.

The key point is that the one who became a rogue sorcerer was also a widower. Qin Bi, however, asked the heir of Marquis Anyuan, "What do you mean?"

“Hehe…” The heir of Marquis Anyuan laughed, protecting his clan: “What I mean is, maybe it’s not my second uncle who’s following me. I’ve thought about it carefully. Every time my second aunt goes to her parents’ home and comes back, I feel uncomfortable. Is it a problem with her family? That family is no good and they’re following me.”

Qin Bi seemed to be deep in thought, while Qin Lang cursed, "If it really is a problem with your second aunt's family, they are truly despicable."

“I knew it,” said the heir of Marquis Anyuan, looking as if he had known all along. “How could my family be so bad? My second aunt’s family is the real scourge.”

Qin Lang felt that this was not the case, but he was not experienced enough to make a divination. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir believed that it was a problem with his second aunt's family, so Qin Lang also assumed so.

The heir of Marquis Anyuan then said, "My relationship with my cousin is very good, and I don't want to cause any unpleasantness."

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan values ​​brotherhood highly. Therefore, if the problem is not serious, he can simply come to Qin Lang for a check-up if he feels unwell. There is nothing else he can do, as he is an orphan and a widow. What can he say?

Marquis Anyuan and his wife also valued their reputation and did not want to be accused of mistreating the second wife and her son.

Possession is something you can't see or touch, and it won't kill you, so let's just leave it at that. The Marquis of Anyuan has a lot of private money, and he'd be happy to pay Qin Lang to take a look, so that the relationship between the Marquis's mansion and the second branch of the family won't get too strained.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir had a good plan. He had had enough of staying and was going home. As soon as he entered the house, his second aunt came again. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir was annoyed. Why was she here again? She was coming too often.

He got angry too, ignored his aunt, and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey..." Second Aunt saw him and waved to him. The Marquis of Anyuan walked even faster. His Second Aunt said, "This child, why did he leave as soon as he saw me? I've watched him grow up since he was a child, how could he be like this?"

"He's busy." Lady Anyuan knew what was going on, and the rest of the family exchanged glances and winks. Lady Anyuan said, "Never mind him, let's talk together."

The second aunt of the Marquis of Anyuan came over for no other reason than to tell her sister-in-law that the shop was closing down. She said this every day, even though the general store had been open all along. She said she hadn't made any money for several years and had just received some fruits and melons from the countryside today.

The Marquis of Anyuan's family didn't take it seriously; they didn't care what happened.

As a result, the second wife went to her parents' home the next day and went straight to the shop. On the way, she fell and broke her arm. People from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion rushed over and sent her to the clinic.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir felt relieved. He had said it himself: disaster was coming.

Logically, the Marquis of Anyuan's heir should have gone, but he dared not go, fearing he would feel unwell. So the young lady of the Marquis's mansion went to take care of this second aunt. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir felt bad if he didn't go, so he sent twenty taels of silver over.

My cousin was very content and didn't complain.

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan even went to tell Qin Lang, "See, I was wondering what was going on. He suddenly couldn't see his second aunt. This means there's going to be trouble. He'll be fine once he gets out."

Qin Lang listened to his rambling and decided that the heir of the Marquis of Tian'an would not come again.

When Qin Lang went to the Rong Prince's residence, he chatted with Qin Bi. A dozen days later, he met Rong Yan and heard that the Marquis of Anyuan's heir had eye problems and a splitting headache. He went to see a famous doctor, who found nothing wrong.

Just two days later, the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan came to see Qin Lang again.
