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

Chapter 245 She's the darling of the family.

"You're finally back." The servant greeted them and, before Qin Lang could ask, blurted out, "Young Master Qin, what exactly is wrong with the Second Madam? It seems our young master's condition is more than just being possessed by an evil spirit."

It was only from the servant's words that everyone learned that when the spell was cast on the Marquis of Anyuan's heir last time, the heir had caught a slight cold, but it wasn't serious. Knowing that his second aunt's family would have something to do in the next few days and he would definitely be coming back from the restaurant, the servant decided to cast the spell regardless of whether he was possessed or not.

As a result, he caught a severe cold after returning home, and his second aunt went to the Marquis's residence at that time.

This time when she went to the Marquis's residence, her second aunt used a little trick. She knew that she was an outsider and the Marquis's residence might not welcome her. However, her son was the Marquis's own nephew, so it was naturally different.

"I'm not going." The second wife complained to her son, "Your brother, the heir apparent, feels uncomfortable whenever he sees me. The Lady of the Marquis made it clear that I shouldn't go, and if I go, I'll be given the cold shoulder."

"I'm getting engaged, so I should at least tell my uncle." My cousin really wanted to go to the Marquis's mansion. He was engaged, and people his age already had several children. He should at least tell the clan about the engagement: "If my cousin can't see you, he can send someone to tell him in advance so that my cousin can avoid me in the courtyard."

Having achieved her goal of filing a complaint, the second wife secretly curled her lip.

When the Marquis learned that the mother and daughter were coming, the Marquis quickly sent someone to inform the young master: "Don't come for dinner yet. Your second aunt is coming. Come over after she leaves."

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan was hungry, so he decided to take a short nap.

The mother and daughter did not stay at the Marquis's residence for long and left quickly, after which the Marquis's residence began to have its meal.

The heir apparent of Marquis Anyuan asked, "What are they doing here, mother and daughter?"

I usually call her Second Aunt, but I don't want to anymore. I'm tired of it.

"Your cousin is getting engaged, so he came to let us know." The Lady of the Marquis was kind and naturally liked family harmony, so she spoke well of her nephew: "Your cousin said he's used to coming to the Marquis's mansion, so it doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable. They came to let us know in advance."

My cousin is close to the Marquis's residence, so he still came.

“It should have been done a long time ago.” The heir of Marquis Anyuan picked up some food and said, “It’s been so long. How should I put it? I’ve been counting. My second aunt’s visits to the Marquis’s residence have been dragging on for over a year. I’ve told her more than once, but she always pretends not to know. Whether I’m really possessed or not, we should avoid her since we’ve already told her. But every time she comes to the Marquis’s residence to catch me, she’s afraid that she won’t see me. If she had told me in advance this time, I wouldn’t have blamed her.”

Lady Hou tried to smooth things over: "I told her not to come here unless it's absolutely necessary."

The Marquis of Anyuan was furious. He had said it before, and now it was happening again. He always indulged his second aunt's family. But he found his second aunt to be vicious and extremely wicked. Why did he still have to spoil her?

But this time, his cousin had spoken in advance, so the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan couldn't complain. He was also angered by his mother's words. Every time he said he wouldn't come, he wouldn't come, but every time he stopped his second aunt from coming.

In the following days, the heir of Marquis Anyuan fell ill with a severe cold, yet he still had to go out to cultivate.

Several days passed without improvement; his headache worsened, and he felt dizzy. The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan was extremely anxious. He had never seen a cold so severe, and as the heir of the Marquis's mansion, he did not delay seeking treatment.

I was just getting better yesterday, but now my toothache has started again. It's like an inescapable disaster.

Does he have a problem with his real teeth? No, he just has inexplicable toothache.

The heir of Marquis Anyuan believed Qin Lang's words without a doubt, thinking that his second aunt really had a problem; otherwise, he wouldn't be so sickly. He felt resentment and was really annoyed.

If he were to confirm that it was indeed this second aunt who was behind it, he would kill her. The servant also hated this second mistress, hated her to the core. No one knew better than him how much the young master was suffering. He couldn't sleep at night because of headaches and toothaches, even though the young master was physically strong and didn't seem to be really sick.

The master and servant were of one mind. The servant chattered on, giving a brief account of what had happened, and even said through gritted teeth, "The second mistress is definitely up to something. I've never seen such a wicked person. When she doesn't come, our young master is perfectly fine, but as soon as she comes, he falls ill in all sorts of ways. It was alright before, but now we don't even need to see her. As long as she comes to the Marquis's residence for a stroll, our young master will feel unwell."

Qin Yan frowned as he listened. The servant's explanation was so logical that it was hard not to suspect the second wife. However, the claim of being possessed by an evil spirit was mysterious and related to the mistreatment of the orphan and widow, which made things difficult.

Everyone stood by the teleportation array. Qin Lang asked Qin Bi, "Sister, does telling fortunes for others really increase one's cultivation level?"

Qin Bi didn't answer; she was too lazy to waste time on such nonsense. Qin Bi said, "Give me your Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud."

Qin Lang knew the answer: interpreting matters for the Marquis of Anyuan's heir was just like cultivating. Qin Xun also heard this, and Qin Yan seemed to be thinking about it. From this, it seemed that with higher cultivation, one could summon a cloud of abundant harvests.

Qin Yan was tempted; he also wanted a cloud symbolizing abundant harvests.

Don't think he didn't see it. The rain under the clouds is good for crops. Didn't you see how well Qin Bi and Qin Lang's watermelon vines are growing? Qin Bi's watermelon vines are even growing small watermelons.

"Alright, I understand." Qin Lang said with a grin to the servant of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir, "What does your heir plan to do? Can I come over sometime and cast a spell on him? I can wait for him at home."

"My young master is busy today," the servant said. "Our young master is almost fully recovered from his illness, but his cousin from the second branch of the family is getting married tomorrow, and the second madam will definitely be coming to the Marquis's residence. Our young master is worried and has come to ask you for advice."

What should we do? Their prince has just recovered from his illness; they can't withstand another one like this.

Qin Lang had no choice but to look to Qin Bi.

Qin Bi asked the servant, "When the second wife's child was betrothed, did your Marquis's mansion pay for it?"

"Here it is." The servant said respectfully, "The third branch of the family gave one hundred taels of silver."

The three families all gave one hundred taels of silver, so the Marquis of Anyuan certainly couldn't give less than one hundred taels. According to the servant, when the Marquis of Anyuan's heir was engaged, the second family only gave a few feet of cloth, worth less than two taels of silver.

Qin Bi and Qin Yan fell silent. Was this how people were supposed to interact?
Qin Bi wasn't very good at social etiquette, so she looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan, Qin Xun, and Rong Yan all shook their heads. In this situation, fifty taels of silver would be a lot, and a hundred taels would be too much.

Thus, Qin Bi realized that the second wife and her daughter were the darlings of the family, driven by some force that drew all the resources from the family members to them.

If there were no past grievances, it would be fine, but this second aunt is too vicious. She poisons those around her and they suffer. It's wrong for the Marquis's family to continue to indulge her.

Since that's the case, let them be; Qin Bi didn't intend to interfere.

The servant delivered the message and went back to report.

Qin Bi told Lin Yao and then went to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence with Qin Yan and the others. Little Rong Yang followed, and He Zu returned to the Yan State Duke's residence. Rong Yan went home first, but he liked excitement and rushed to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence.
