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

Chapter 250 How could they even calculate this?
A servant boy carried a melon as the Marquis of Anyuan strolled leisurely in the courtyard.

As he walked, the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan felt something was hurting his foot. He moved his foot around and it stopped hurting, but then his foot felt a little uncomfortable again. He called to his servant to hurry back to the manor.

"Wow!" The younger half-brother ran over and exclaimed, "This melon is delicious!"

"Go and put them on cold water to chill them." The heir of Marquis Anyuan sat down in a chair, took off his shoes and looked at them. He was annoyed: "No wonder my feet felt uncomfortable all the way here. Turns out they were bruised."

The second young master walked over and asked, "How did you manage to hurt your foot like that?"

After that, everyone fell silent. Princess Rong said that her second aunt had benefited from the good fortune, but her second aunt herself was not fortunate, and that being associated with her would bring no good. She was probably overthinking it, so everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it.

We cut a white-skinned melon and shared it.

They were all teenagers, and they had big appetites.

Lunch was prepared and the dishes were served. The heir of Marquis Anyuan was never stingy, and every dish was a hearty one. The young masters sat down to eat happily and then ate melons after the meal.

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan liked to peel the food before eating it. One day, without paying attention, he cut his hand, leaving a small wound that bled.

The younger half-brother hurriedly applied the medicine, and the second young master said after a while, "It seems that what Princess Rong said was true. We have no choice but to believe it. Let's go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence. It's just a minor illness now, but we don't know what will happen in the future. Let's go and ask for a definite answer to resolve it completely."

The heir of Marquis Anyuan was also uneasy, feeling that something was wrong. He had been blessed since childhood, with everything going smoothly and his wishes almost always coming true. But ever since his cousin got a job and his marriage was on the agenda, he had been plagued by various minor illnesses and ailments.

The heir of Marquis Anyuan narrowed his eyes: "Let's go."

At midday, the brothers rushed to the Qin Yanhou residence.

Qin Yan was about to take a nap when she heard that several young masters from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion had come to visit. She opened her eyes with a clear mind. Well, Qin Bi had guessed correctly. Qin Yan washed her face and went to the Marquis's mansion's living room.

Qin Bi coaxed Rong Yang to take a nap, then went to the front hall with Qin Xun.

Qin Yan noticed the small, blood-red wound on the hand of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir. His eyes flashed. It hadn't been there when he came in the morning. Qin Lang didn't pay much attention to it, but Qin Bi glanced at it and sat down to listen to Qin Yan's few pleasantries.

“Princess Consort Rong, I can give you ten low-level teleportation arrays, and I can also give you two more.” The Marquis of Anyuan said with a serious face, “But the premise is that you have to convince me, and also, our family will not expel the second branch of the clan.”

Qin Bi glanced at the heir of Marquis Anyuan. Even now, he had taken a step back. Qin Bi smiled and said, "Want to be convinced? That's easy. Let me tell you about your situation."

The Marquis of Anyuan sat up straight, and the second young master, Lu Xin, took a sip of tea, intending to hear whether this Princess Rong had any real skills. If not, there was no need to waste ten teleportation arrays.

Qin Yan also drank tea and exchanged a glance with Qin Tang next to him, wondering how Qin Bi was trying to fool them.

Most sorcerers rely on deception. Even if they have real skills, they're nothing more than charlatans. Besides, it's not like Qin Bi and Qin Lang are just half-baked; they really need to deceive people.

Qin Bi didn't immediately try to be mysterious. Instead, she glanced at the hand of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir and asked, "Did you cut yourself while eating melon?" The wound was quite obvious, a minor injury. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir looked down at his hand and nodded. The second young master, Lu Xin, was surprised. He had sharp eyes and keen observation skills, able to tell that it was a cut.

"Did you hurt your foot?" Qin Bi asked again.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir's eyes narrowed, and even his younger half-brother was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at his elder brother and said, "Brother, you could even figure this out?" The boy's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly composed himself and said, "This is nothing."

Qin Yan and Qin Tang looked back and forth at the expressions of the young masters of the Lu family, and roughly figured out something. Qin Lang wondered to himself, did they guess correctly or not? If they didn't guess correctly, Lu Xin would have spoken up long ago.

“Come on, let me tell you about your second aunt.” Qin Bi said, putting her elbows on the table as she went about her business. “This time, your second aunt treated you brothers to dinner, right? And you ate leftovers.”

The second young master, Lu Xin, remained silent; anyone who inquired about it would know.

The leftovers from a banquet are fine for the family to eat, but stingy families usually invite all the relatives to eat the leftovers. This way, they save money and their own family members don't complain.

“You’ve only ever eaten two meals at your second aunt’s house since you were a child,” Qin Bi said, looking at the heir of Marquis Anyuan.

The young masters of the Lu family looked surprised. Qin Bi continued, "You were still young when we had the first meal. Your second uncle wanted to call you to eat, and your second aunt's family was also there. They stewed chicken, but there was only a chicken neck and a chicken carcass in your bowl. You weren't full."

The second young master and the others looked at the heir of Marquis Anyuan, is that so?
The heir apparent of Marquis Anyuan was dumbfounded: "How did you know?"

"Wow." Qin Yan's heart skipped a beat; he had guessed correctly.

Qin Lang opened his mouth, extremely surprised.

Madam Jiang and Madam Lin arrived and listened carefully to the events. They hadn't heard the beginning and didn't know what was going on, but judging from the expressions of the young masters of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, had they missed something?
Qin Bi didn't answer the Marquis of Anyuan's son, and continued talking about the next meal: "The second meal was when your second aunt broke her arm last time. You gave her a lot of money. When she came back from the pharmacy, she treated you younger relatives to a meal. We ate crabs, but it wasn't enough. We each had half a bowl of rice, and you even gave half to your younger brother. The stewed chicken was spoiled, so we didn't dare to eat it. Therefore, we didn't eat our fill at this meal either. The chicken, fish, and meat were all gifts from people who came to visit her. Not only was the chicken she gave you spoiled, but the ribs from her family were also spoiled. She stewed them for her sisters-in-law, but they didn't want them and threw them away."

Jiang winked at Qin Bi, implying that there was no need to be so detailed in her explanation; what if things didn't match up?

Suddenly, the heir of Marquis Anyuan stood up and said excitedly, "How do you know all this? That's exactly what happened. I didn't get enough to eat at either of the two meals, and they were both chicken. I wasn't given a single piece of good meat."

Everyone in the living room was stunned. Even with such detailed measurements, there were no discrepancies?!
"And another thing," Qin Bi continued, not at all surprised, "When your second aunt ran a general store, she often gave broken things to your Marquis's mansion and the third branch of the family. She would give them away, and you would throw them away right afterward."

Everyone in the Qin Yan Marquis's residence turned to look at the young masters of the An Yuan Marquis's residence. The young masters were dumbfounded. It was indeed the case. The second aunt had given away a broken gift as a favor, which annoyed the Marquis's residence and the third branch of the family. They were too embarrassed to say anything, so they secretly threw the gift away.

Who's going to go out and tell everyone? Even the Crown Prince's wife had foreseen this.

"Yes, indeed." The second young master, Lu Xin, was utterly impressed: "You even figured that out???"

"What is this?" Qin Bi said, "I'm telling you all this to tell you that this is all a scheme to take advantage of your luck and fortune. You don't even realize it until she gives you bad things, and you still get a good meal in return. Even if you throw away what she gave you, she has already achieved her goal."
