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

Chapter 349 A Fool Emerges in the Xue Prince's Mansion
Fu Bao was stunned; "cuckoo taking over someone else's nest" was not a compliment.

Fu Bao was just spoiled and domineering, not stupid. She could still tell right from wrong. The little girl was stunned and confused. She hadn't usurped anyone's place. Her mother had told her that everything in the Yan State Duke's Mansion should be hers.

The maidservants from the Xue Prince's residence next to them also looked anxious. Their young princess, a first-rank princess, had always been raised according to the standards of a legitimate daughter of the Yan State Duke's family. How could she have become a cuckoo in someone else's nest?

However, the maid dared not speak in front of the powerful minister's son.

Here, not a single maid has the right to speak.

“I didn’t steal your things.” Fu Bao still listened to Qin He. Remembering what her mother had taught her, she raised her chin and said, “It was Rong Yang and Rong Chi who came to the Duke of Yan’s mansion to steal my things.”

He Yan didn't want to ask who taught him, that didn't matter. He Yan said, "Rong Yang is my child, this is his home, everything in the Yan State Duke's Mansion belongs to Rong Yang, your things are in the Xue Prince's Mansion."

Fu Bao felt wronged and said aggrievedly, "But I grew up in the Duke of Yan's mansion. The Duke of Yan's mansion has my own courtyard as the legitimate daughter. Rong Yang doesn't even have a courtyard in the Duke of Yan's mansion. He is the outsider."

He Yan felt that he couldn't explain it to Fu Bao.

As for arranging a courtyard for Rong Yang? He Yan was not keen on it.

There was no other reason than that the child had just returned, and He Yan only wanted to spend more time with Rong Yang.

However, since Fu Bao has gone astray, it's time to put Rong Yang's courtyard on the agenda. It can't be that Fu Bao, an outsider's child, has a courtyard while Rong Yang, who lives in the Duke of Yan's mansion, doesn't.

Rong Yang now has his own courtyard and can also live in his prince's courtyard.

He Yan got up, holding the little dumpling, and called Rong Yang to the main courtyard. The little prince followed, and a servant packed boiled melon seeds and followed after them. No one paid any attention to Fu Bao. Fu Bao looked around and saw that no one was there.

The maids of Prince Xue's mansion were at a loss, feeling for the first time that they were outsiders in the Duke of Yan's mansion. Fu Bao didn't think too much about it and ran after them. She couldn't let the two children from Prince Rong's mansion take her things away.

Along the way, He Yan carried the little dumpling and strolled leisurely.

Rong Yang was too young to keep up, but He Yan wasn't worried.

Fu Bao ran fast, and whooshed ahead, shouting, "I run fast!"

Rong Yang looked at Fu Bao as if she were an idiot. "The Xue Prince's mansion has produced idiots. They like to compare everything. Why are they running so fast?" Rong Yang strolled along with the little prince to admire the flowers, while a servant handed them boiled melon seeds.

Rong Yang grabbed a handful of boiled melon seeds and gave them to the young prince.

The little prince held up the melon seeds with delight: "What flavor are these boiled melon seeds?"

Rong Yang said, "It's savory, my mother loves it."

Fu Bao ran back: "I want to eat too."

The servant watched as the young master walked ahead and talked to the little dumpling. He pretended not to hear and quickened his pace to catch up with his young master. Boiled melon seeds were spirit melon seeds, prepared only for the two young masters. What kind of behavior was it to give them to outsiders?

It's so expensive, ordinary people can't afford it.

Fu Bao thought the servant hadn't heard her, so she stomped her feet and shouted, "I want to eat boiled melon seeds!"

He Yan frowned, turned to the maids of the Xue Prince's mansion and said, "Take your little princess back."

The maid was flustered. She had no say in the Yan State Duke's mansion. If someone else had said that, she could have relied on Qin He's importance in the Prince He's heart to refute it.

However, now it is Prince He who has spoken.

Unable to fathom the young master's intentions, the maidservant hurriedly said to Fu Bao, "Little Princess, let's go back. The young master's wife is at the Qin Yan Marquis's residence. Let's go back to your maternal grandfather's house to play."

"No." Fu Bao hadn't had enough fun yet: "I want to play in the Duke of Yan's mansion." "Little Princess, go and check your courtyard." The maid pulled Fu Bao and said, "You haven't checked your courtyard in a long time. See if anyone has touched your things."

The maidservant thought about it more and more and felt that she should go and take a look, because perhaps the young master of the Rong Prince's mansion had touched something in Fu Bao's courtyard.

Kids like to compare themselves to others and compete.

Fu Bao nodded after being reminded and went to her own yard.

It's fine if no one touches her things, but if Rong Yang does, he'll be in big trouble.

He Yan carried the little dumpling, and Rong Yang and the little prince followed to the main courtyard. He Yan was very patient, peeling melon seeds and feeding them to the little dumpling. He then peeled another one, stopped, and bent down to feed it to Rong Yang.

Rong Yang peeled one for herself and ate it, which made the little prince envious.

Lady Yan was drinking tea when she saw that the children had arrived. She got up and greeted Rong Yang with a smile. He Yan then mentioned arranging a courtyard for Rong Yang. Lady Yan then got up.

"Go to your grandmother's courtyard," said the Duchess of Yan. "and discuss it with your grandparents."

He Yan was worried that Rong Yang was tired from walking, so he picked her up and carried her.

Upon arriving at the old lady's courtyard, the old Duke Yan and his wife immediately began to ponder the matter, as their child had not been raised in their own home since childhood, and they were certain that the best courtyard should be arranged for her.

“The courtyard where Fu Bao lives is quite nice,” the little prince interjected. “Rong Yang can stay in Fu Bao’s courtyard.”

“No,” He Yan said. “The courtyard is too small.”

Then, He Yan glanced at the little dumpling in his arms and said, "I plan to arrange a courtyard for Rong Chi as well."

The old Duke Yan nodded: "That's right. Rong Yang really shouldn't live in the courtyard that Fu Bao lived in. Not only is it too small for Rong Yang, but he is also the young master of our Duke Yan's mansion. I'm afraid it might be detrimental to our fortune and luck."

Previously, Fu Bao was raised as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion.

Rong Yang is He Yan's child, the rightful heir of the Duke of Yan's mansion. I'm afraid that the place where Fu Bao lived might be a hindrance to Rong Yang, and it would be bad if it suppressed something.

Besides, it's not the style of a noble family to send Fu Bao away as soon as Rong Yang returned.

Throughout the entire Yan State Duke's mansion, the largest and best courtyards were all far from He Yan's heir's courtyard. He Yan did not agree with this, but after discussing it with Rong Yang, they consulted a divination master and decided to expand the area next to He Yan's courtyard to build two courtyards for the two young heirs.

After discussing it, He Yan said, "We still need to discuss this matter with Prince Rong."

The old lady and the old Duke of Yan nodded: "We should discuss this with the Crown Prince Rong."

He Yan stood up, holding the little baby: "Rong Yang, let me show you the spot next to my yard."

Lady Yan, the Duchess of Yan, held out her hand: "Give it to me."

The little dumpling turned its head and hugged He Yan, saying, "Father, hug me."

Lady Yan smiled. He Yan, holding the little dumpling, led Rong Yang and the little prince towards the Crown Prince's courtyard. Lady Yan thought for a moment and then followed to take a look.

Fu Bao wandered around her courtyard, finding nothing missing. She looked for Rong Yang and the others but couldn't find them. Feeling bored, she took her maids and servants and went back home.

Rong Yang found a suitable place to build the courtyard, then turned around and led people to Fu Bao's courtyard. They took a storage bag and put all the valuables into it. These all belonged to the Duke of Yan, so he couldn't take them away.

He Yan didn't say anything after he found out; Rong Yang could make the decision.
