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

"Princess Xue..." The Duchess of Yan was annoyed.

Since everyone was a nobleman, even the Duchess of Yan couldn't bring herself to stop them from leaving.

Princess Xue waved her hand and pressed Qin He back down.

Fu Bao stood beside the Duchess of Yan, looking completely bewildered, watching the carriage from the Prince Xue's residence depart. The Duchess of Yan glanced at Fu Bao, feeling utterly annoyed. How much she used to dote on her, how much she now disliked her.

The reason why He Yan took care of this child more in the past was because He Yan didn't have any children back then!

Since He Yan had a child, Fu Bao should no longer stay in the Yan State Duke's Mansion. As a result, the Yan State Duke's wife began to neglect Fu Bao and paid little attention to the Xue Prince's Mansion. Who knew that the Xue Prince's wife would cause such a scene.

Fu Bao is, after all, just a child. The Duke of Yan's family raised her as their legitimate daughter. They suddenly changed their minds, and she is too young to understand. The Duchess of Yan felt that this matter needed to be discussed.

"Let's go back." The Duchess of Yan entered the mansion.

Fu Bao followed up: "Does Uncle He collect any rare and precious materials?"

"No." The Duchess of Yan replied absentmindedly.

“We always had that,” Fu Bao said.

Things are different now than before! The Duchess of Yan planned to discuss Fu Bao's matter with the Duke of Yan and send someone to play with Fu Bao. The Duchess of Yan had mixed feelings about Fu Bao.

He Yan is destined to be widowed and childless. If he were to raise a child, the entire Yan State Duke's Mansion would have no objections. Fu Bao is Qin He's child, and He Yan would raise her as the legitimate daughter of the Yan State Duke's Mansion, which the Yan State Duke tacitly agreed to.

Lady Yan also had feelings for Fu Bao. After all, people aren't plants or trees. However, now that He Yan had his own child, Fu Bao's status became awkward. The He family's idea was clear: they would no longer raise Fu Bao.

At first, the Duchess of Yan felt somewhat guilty, but now that Princess Xue had made such a scene, the Duchess of Yan was furious. She hadn't had enough of taking advantage of Qin He and Fu Bao over the years, and most of them had taken things from the Duke of Yan's mansion.

If these things are kept for Rong Yang, they will be of great benefit to his cultivation.

Since she's already given it away, the Duchess of Yan isn't the type to hold grudges. But the condition is that Fu Bao doesn't bother Rong Yang or Rong Chi. Neither of the two little ones like Fu Bao, so Fu Bao can't even be given the status of a typical young lady of the Duke of Yan's mansion.

"I want to eat spirit fruit." Fu Bao, as always, acted as if she were one of the family.

In her heart, she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion, and she had to have whatever she wanted.

"There are no spirit fruits for you." The Duchess of Yan walked towards the living room.

Fu Bao's eyes reddened. She should have eaten it. Why didn't Uncle He give her the spiritual fruits he collected? Instead, he gave them to that little dumpling Rong Chi. If Rong Yang is a child of the He family, Rong Chi is not.

Rong Chi was the same as her, and Fu Bao didn't understand why they were treated differently.

Besides, these benefits used to belong to her.

No, she won't leave. She's going to take back everything that belongs to her.

Grandmother was right, Fu Bao only realized that now.

In the living room, after explaining the matter, the Duchess of Yan sat down with a somber expression.

"You left Fu Bao behind?" Duke Yan asked in surprise. "What are you planning to do?"

"He Yan," said the Duchess of Yan, "what do you think we should do about this?"

He Yan held the little dumpling in his arms. The child circled around and came back. He didn't look for He Zu, who liked to tease him. He Yan filled the little storage bag and tied it shut. The little dumpling opened it and was now curiously rummaging through his treasures. There was food and demon beast crystals.

"Let's ask Rong Yang first," He Yan said, valuing Rong Yang's opinion.

The Duke and Duchess of Yan nodded. Rong Yang had gone to the fiefdom of the Rong heir; they heard he was going to farm.

Inside the Xue Prince's residence, Qin He paced back and forth, very worried about Fu Bao. Compared to her legitimate son, Qin He preferred Fu Bao.

Princess Xue left Fu Bao at the Duke of Yan's residence and did not bring her back. Prince Xue found out about this.

Prince Xue arrived at the Princess's courtyard, sat down, and a maidservant served tea.

Prince Xue took a sip: "What's wrong with you? The Duke of Yan's Mansion clearly wants to return to a normal kinship relationship with our Prince Xue's Mansion. Why did you keep Fu Bao here? Don't you know that people will look down on you?"

"Heh." Princess Xue chuckled lightly: "Back then, when we didn't have children, we raised Fu Bao as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion. Now that the Heir Apparent has a child, he wants to take back all of Fu Bao's treatment. What a joke."

Xue Wang squinted: "The He family did not adopt Fu Bao."

Without an adoption certificate, you are nothing.

Princess Xue took a deep breath: "What a miscalculation. If I had known about Rong Yang, I should have prepared an adoption certificate."

Prince Xue disliked Princess Xue's scheming nature and looked at her suspiciously: "What's the meaning of our Xue family's first-rank princess being adopted out? Do you know what you're saying? It's true that the Duke of Yan's mansion is providing some cultivation resources, but our Xue family isn't going to be so eager to curry favor. Tell me the truth, why are you clinging to the Duke of Yan's mansion?"

Princess Xue glanced at the maids and servants, and they immediately withdrew.

"Over the years..." Princess Xue said, "the fortune of our Xue family has been gradually increasing, haven't you noticed?"

Prince Xue's eyes narrowed; how could he not have noticed the change in the fortunes of the Prince Xue's mansion?

"You mean..." King Xue waited for Queen Xue to explain.

“You can take it as Qin He’s good fortune and luck.” Princess Xue glanced at Prince Xue and continued, “But without Prince He’s good fortune and luck, does Qin He really have such great good fortune and luck? Is it Qin He’s luck or the Duke of Yan’s luck that has boosted the luck of Prince Xue’s mansion? Who knows? Therefore, we must keep in touch with the Duke of Yan’s mansion and not break off our ties.”

Prince Xue lowered his head in thought, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea: "Yes, Fu Bao is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Yan's mansion. We can't just stop raising Fu Bao now that the Heir Apparent has his own child."

Princess Xue smiled: "That's how it should be."

Unfortunately, Prince Xue and his wife's joy didn't last long, as the Duchess of Yan sent Fu Bao back. Princess Xue's smile almost faded. When Qin He arrived in the living room, the Duchess of Yan was just getting up to say goodbye.

Qin He looked around, but there was no gift box or anything like that.

Qin He pulled Fu Bao aside and asked with a smile, "Fu Bao, where's the gift your Uncle He gave you?"

Fu Bao pouted, "They didn't give me anything. They gave the spirit fruit to Rong Chi but not me, saying there wasn't any for me."

"How could this be?" Qin He exclaimed, then, realizing that the Duchess of Yan was also there, she composed herself and turned to ask the Duchess of Yan, "Was the harvest small this time? Why didn't Fu Bao receive the cultivation resources she was entitled to?"

Lady Yan looked Qin He up and down. She was dressed elegantly, her hair ornaments swaying gently, and she had the air of a talented woman.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Fu Bao's cultivation resources will be gone from now on." The Duchess of Yan glanced at Fu Bao, then looked away and said to Qin He, "Your Xue Prince's Mansion should arrange the cultivation resources your child needs yourselves." (End of Chapter)
