Chapter 358 He Yan gives Rong Yang soldiers
Lady Qin said, "Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned."

Prince He was destined to be widowed and childless, which nearly killed Qin He, so Qin He dared not marry him.

If she had a choice, Qin He would naturally want to be the wife of the heir of the Duke of Yan's mansion.

But fate is beyond our control!

"Yes." Madam Qin Xiang nodded, picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea: "Qin He was unconvinced once, and almost died twice when she was engaged. She wouldn't dare to marry the son of a powerful minister even if she had the guts."

When this reached Lady Qin Yanhou's ears, she scoffed, "Believe in this? Ha! Prince He only has one child, Rong Yang. Who knows if he scolds Rong Yang or not? Maybe he's just putting on an act to avoid making things too awkward for his relatives."

If it were Prince Rong, even if he were considering Qin Bi's sake, he couldn't completely disregard the reputation of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.

Perhaps, Prince He will also consider Rong Yang's maternal family background.

Therefore, it's possible that Prince He was just putting on a show by scolding Rong Yang. It's just a casual remark; who knows if Prince He actually scolded Rong Yang? Everyone loves their own child, and Lady Qin Yanhou was skeptical about it.

There's no other reason than that something was amiss when Fu Bao was beaten and Qin He was thrown out of the Duke of Yan's mansion.

Prince He is a powerful minister, not just a figurehead; he knows what is happening right under his nose.

Don't say that Prince He doesn't know; Lady Qin Yanhou doesn't believe this either.

“Young Master He has always protected Miss Qin He.” The old nanny next to him said, “This time, not only was Princess Fu Bao beaten, but Miss Qin He was also thrown out of the Duke of Yan’s mansion by the guards. It’s possible that Young Master He scolded the young master.”

The old woman meant that Prince He still had feelings for Qin He.

Lady Qin Yanhou, too lazy to care, sat in her chair and sighed: "That Qin He is such a worry. Whenever there's a problem, she goes to Qin Bi. The second and fourth branches of the family are not on good terms because of this marriage with Prince He."

The second and fourth wives fought over this marriage, but after all the fighting, even though Qin Bi married Prince He, they eventually divorced. This shows that the Qin family and the He family were not destined to be related by marriage.

Now it remains to be seen whether Prince He will continue to favor Qin He or show more affection for Rong Yang.

Qin He will not let go. Even if it is for the sake of the Yan State Duke's Mansion's fortune and blessings, Qin He will rely on their past relationship to hold onto Prince He. It's best not to go too far, otherwise Prince Xue will have to think twice.

"Women often quarrel with each other over marriage." The old woman was not surprised, but the Marquis's family valued its reputation. She said, "If they keep quarreling, people will laugh at us."

Lady Qin Yanhou thought about it and agreed. Jiang Mo had originally arranged a marriage for Qin Bi, but Qin Han had taken it away. Although Qin Bi and Qin Han didn't fall out, they still harbored some resentment.

"Sigh~" Lady Qin Yan sighed. Fortunately, Qin Bi is now the heir apparent of the Rong King's mansion.

Qin He was jealous of Qin Bi, and Lady Qin Yanhou was well aware of this.

As for Qin Bi? Lady Qin Yanhou couldn't see through her.

Lady Qin Yanhou was troubled, supporting her forehead with her hand. The Qin Yanhou Mansion relied on the Rong Heir Apparent and the Heir Apparent Apparent, respectively. After all, only marriage ties were truly secure, and the relationship with Qin He was somewhat weak.

Now that Rong Yang is here, things are more secure, but Qin He is unwilling to give in.

Let's take a step by step.

When Cui, the wife of the second son, heard about this, she was surprised: "Could it be that the young master He cares more about Qin He?"

It's no wonder that Lady Cui thought that way; if Prince He loved his child, he certainly wouldn't have the heart to scold him.

The fact that Prince He could scold Rong Yang shows that Qin He holds a more important place in his heart. However, Cui Shi felt something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Qin He's younger sister said smugly, "Young Master He has always liked Sister Qin He."

Cui squinted and said, "Let's just say that. It's best for the second branch of the family if He Shizi has feelings for Qin He. The Cui family's divination master once told us that if Qin He is well, then the second branch of the family will be well."

Madam He went directly to the Duke of Yan's residence, and Rong Yang ran over: "Grandmother."

Lady Yan smiled gently, finding Rong Yang pleasing to the eye.

Madam He observed Rong Yang, then pulled the child aside and asked, "Did your father scold you?" Rong Yang: "......"

What's going on with the little prince? How did it get to his maternal grandmother's ears and cause her worry? The child knows that his mother is very dependent on Lady He and treats Lady He, his legal mother, as his own mother.

Rong Yang said, "No."

"What's going on outside...?" Madam He wondered.

Lady Yan was also puzzled; she had heard about it but hadn't asked yet.

Rong Yang said, "It's from the little prince."

"This little prince," the Duchess of Yan said helplessly, "how did rumors suddenly spread that your father was scolding you? The entire Yan State Duke's Mansion is too busy trying to win over Rong Yang, how could they possibly scold you?"

Rong Yang didn't protect the young prince, and the young prince's older brother didn't do anything good either, causing his maternal grandmother to worry.

“If you scold Rong Yang because of Qin He and Fu Bao,” Madam He said solemnly, holding Rong Yang in her arms, and said to the Duchess of Yan, “Rong Yang will not come to the Duke of Yan’s mansion from now on.”

Despite He's behavior, the Duchess of Yan was not angry; on the contrary, she was very pleased.

This shows that He really cared for Rong Yang.

"Don't worry," said the Duchess of Yan, "No one dares to scold Rong Yang."

After saying that, the Duchess of Yan summoned the advisors in the manor and said, "Go and deal with the matter of the Crown Prince scolding the Young Crown Prince, so that those who are unaware and have no brains will think that our Rong Yang is not favored."

Rong Yang stopped her, saying, "Grandmother, there's no need."

Lady Yan looked at the child, but the child didn't explain. Lady Yan then waved her hand, and the strategist withdrew. He Shi was relieved to see this, and Rong Yang left shortly afterward.

When Duke Yan returned, He Yan, carrying the clingy little dumpling, called Rong Yang and went to Duke Yan's study.

Duke Yan carried a wooden box, opened it, and inside were silver notes. Duke Yan said to Rong Yang, "I will give your younger brother Rong Chi twenty soldiers, and your father will give you twenty soldiers. Use these to support your troops."

Why did the Duke of Yan give Rong Chi soldiers, while He Yan gave Rong Yang soldiers?

Because a biological father cannot be replaced by a grandfather, no one wanted Rong Yang to overthink things and feel that He Yan didn't care about him. After all, Rong Yang was still a child, just over a year old, and his feelings had to be taken into consideration in every way.

The little dumpling, like a warbler, flapped its tiny hands toward the silver notes.

Rong Yang took the wooden box, gave a few silver notes to the little dumpling, and the child quickly grabbed them.

The little dumpling coaxed, "Big brother~"

Rong Yang gave him two more silver notes, and the little dumpling used the same trick again: "Brother~"

Rong Yang refused to give it to him. The little dumpling knew that calling him "brother" was useless. He grabbed the silver note, looked at He Yan, then at Rong Yang, and pulled on the storage bag on his little robe. He Yan put it away for him.

Duke Yan reached out his hand: "Come here, let Grandfather give you a hug."

The little dumpling started wailing, "My dear father!"

Duke Yan was at a loss. Rong Yang said, "Go back and tell Mother."

The little dumpling immediately stopped crying: "I won't cry."

Look at this rare little guy, the Duke of Yan gave him a handful of monster crystals.

The little dumpling thrashed about, and the Duke of Yan took him in his arms. Don't let his small size fool you, this little dumpling knows how to charm people.
