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

Chapter 352 Young Prince Rongyang

Lady Yan's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly. How dare you! How dare you offend the Crown Prince Rong?!
Aren't you afraid that Prince Rong will chop you in half with his sword?
"Qin He." The Duchess of Yan's face turned serious: "You said that Fu Bao was beaten, but that's just your biased opinion. There's absolutely no truth to that. As the heir apparent of the Xue Prince's Mansion, don't be so unruly just because you're born out of wedlock."

Lady Yan was practically pointing at Qin He's forehead and cursing her, saying that a mere concubine's daughter was not worthy of being presented in public.

This was the first time Qin He had been humiliated and looked down upon at the Duke of Yan's mansion. Qin He was stunned and didn't react for a moment. The Duchess of Yan glanced at her, concealing her impatience.

Qin He stood up: "My Fu Bao said that Rong Chi hit her."

Lady Yan remained seated, unlike Qin He who would explode at the slightest provocation: "That's impossible. Rong Chi is just a little kid. Qin He, have you really gone so far as to hold a grudge against a child?"

"You're slandering me." Qin He felt like she couldn't explain herself, her eyes reddening. "I didn't mean any harm to the child. Fu Bao is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion that you raised. How can you protect other children?"

"If you want to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan, you should be more sensible." The Duchess of Yan's tone was reprimanding: "What's the big deal? You're even dragging you into this to back her up. Does the Duke of Yan's mansion have no one else to rely on?"

Qin He had a lot to say, but it all came out as: "Fu Bao has been wronged. As her mother, why can't I stand up for her? Rong Chi is a young prince, but our Fu Bao is still a first-rank princess of the Great Yan Dynasty."

The more Qin He talked, the more she felt that Fu Bao was more important, and that Fu Bao should be pampered. After all, Fu Bao should act like Fu Bao.

Qin He emphasized: "Fu Bao was born after swallowing two auspicious clouds, so she should be pampered and receive more love. No one can hit her. I will not allow it, and neither will the Xue Prince's Mansion."

"You won't agree?" The Duchess of Yan was also angry, slamming her teacup down: "Who do you think you are? To expect Rong Chi to apologize? Wishful thinking, keep dreaming."

Qin He argued forcefully, pulling Fu Bao aside and saying, "Fu Bao is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion. Duchess, how can you protect an outsider?"

The commotion started, and someone had already gone to the Crown Prince's courtyard to report it.

Rong Yang was furious: "You dare make my brother apologize?"

The child ran to He Yan's side, He Yan lowered his head, and the child whispered in his ear.

After listening, He Yan called the servant over and gave him a few instructions. The servant left the study to make the arrangements. The little dumpling was munching on a spiritual fruit while He Yan and Rong Yang wiped the little dumpling's mouth.

The young prince was very curious: what were Prince He and Rong Yang discussing?
In the front courtyard living room, a maid peeked out from the doorway. The Duchess of Yan walked over, and the maid whispered a message. The Duchess of Yan was only stunned for a moment after hearing it before turning back to sit down at the table.

"I'm tired," said the Duchess of Yan. "Fu Bao, go with your mother."

Qin He refused to leave: "You still haven't given me an explanation for what happened to Fu Bao."

Lady Yan narrowed her eyes: "Qin He, you should know where to throw a tantrum. Don't act like a shrew and make me look down on you."

"Where am I a shrew?" Qin He exploded. No one had ever called her a shrew before. Qin He took a closer look at the Duchess of Yan and realized for the first time that she was also an extreme character: "Duchess, don't you understand? My Fu Bao was beaten. It's not that I'm being unreasonable."

Lady Yan didn't waste any more words with Qin He: "I already said there's nothing to it. Show the guest out."

Qin He was unwilling to give up: "I want to see Prince He."

Lady Yan said, "He Yan is not in the manor."

Qin He didn't believe it. She gave Fu Bao a wink, and Fu Bao also cried and wanted to find Prince He. Qin He had come here today and returned empty-handed. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing? Besides, as long as she saw Prince He, he would definitely support her and Fu Bao.

Lady Yan stood up and said, "Qin He, if you want to see He Yan, go to Lingzhi Street and buy some spirit melon seeds to apologize to Rong Yang. Otherwise, I won't let you see He Yan." "You..." Qin He gritted her teeth.

This is humiliation, it's like trampling on her face.

“It was Fu Bao who got beaten.” Qin He protested, “Why should I apologize to Rong Yang? Shouldn’t it be Rong Yang or Rong Chi who apologizes? As the Duchess, you can’t be so biased.”

Lady Yan glanced helplessly at Qin He, whose eyes were red. How foolish she was! He Yan was the powerful minister and heir of the Great Yan Dynasty, with many eyes and ears. How could He Yan not know about this commotion?

Qin He has lost her mind.

Lady Yan said, "Rong Yang is my grandson. Is it wrong for me to favor him a little? If you make a scene like this, my Rong Yang will be unhappy. If you are sensible, buy some spirit melon seeds as an apology, or don't even think about seeing He Yan."

Lady Yan felt that she was like a wicked mother-in-law. Although Qin He was not destined to be her daughter-in-law, she was still quite capable of dealing with Qin He. It all depended on how smart Qin He was.

If it were her, she would have left long ago.

Why should the princess consort of the Prince Xue's mansion have to put on airs here?

However, Qin He wouldn't leave. She stubbornly believed that Prince He would stand up for her and Fu Bao. Whenever she saw Prince He, Qin He would definitely complain to these people.

“Prince He dotes on Fu Bao. If he knew how you treated me and Fu Bao, he would definitely have a problem with you.” Qin He tried to threaten the Duchess of Yan: “How could Rong Yang possibly compare to Fu Bao’s importance in Prince He’s heart?”

Lady Yan stood up: "Should I ask you to leave the manor?"

Qin He gritted her teeth: "I'll go buy some spirit melon seeds."

Spirit melon seeds are very expensive and require high-level demon beast crystals for purchase. Qin He was initially distressed, but then she thought that once Prince He found out, he would definitely compensate her with even more demon beast crystals, so she left Fu Bao behind and went to the Spirit Plant Street.

Qin He assumed that Fu Bao was treated like a legitimate daughter in the Yan State Duke's mansion. However, as soon as Qin He left, Fu Bao followed the Yan State Duke's wife and said, "Grandmother, shouldn't Rong Chi and Rong Yang be the ones apologizing?"

Lady Yan gave Fu Bao a complicated look: "If you want to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion, you must know your place. Don't covet what is not yours. You are a child of the Prince Xue's mansion."

Fu Bao seemed to understand but not quite, as the Duchess of Yan had gone to attend to the affairs of the manor.

Fu Bao stayed in the courtyard, looking at each other with the maids from the Xue Prince's mansion.

Qin He returned with the spirit melon seeds close to evening. Rong Yang and the little prince came to the front yard, and Qin He reluctantly offered them the spirit melon seeds: "Rong Yang, I'm sorry, this bag of spirit melon seeds is my apology."

Rong Yang refused to take it, so the young prince accepted it.

"I want to see Prince He." Qin He thought fiercely, determined to teach Rong Yang a lesson when she saw Prince He.

Despite his small stature, Rong Yang exuded the air of a prince in every move he made. The child ordered, "Where did this indecent woman come from? Throw her out!"

Without saying a word, the guards threw Qin He out of the Duke of Yan's mansion.
