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

Upon hearing Qin He's words, Qin Han's eyes immediately lit up.

Qin Han looked at Qin He, who gave her a reassuring look and chuckled. If she went against Qin He, she would definitely not let the fourth branch of the family be happy. He Shi was not going to the small space in the demon beast realm. Did she understand how she was eating so many spirit birds and ducks?

Qin He also wanted the spirit ducks, and she was furious that He Shi had eaten so many of them.

If Qin He had so many spirit ducks, and gave half of them to her stepmother Cui, Qin He would have gained countless good reputations. He would have wasted her time eating them; what was the point of cultivating immortality at her age?

Qin Bi was peeling boiled melon seeds for the child while holding Rong Yang. She took in the expressions of Qin He and Qin Han and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Qin He, just say what you want to say. I gave my mother quite a few spirit ducks, which she can't finish eating in a short time. Isn't it redundant for you to ask this question? Of course, there are still spirit ducks. They are all raised on Rong Yang's estate."

Qin He was speechless for a moment. She hated this kind of person the most. He didn't understand manners at all and had to speak so bluntly. Even as the wife of the Crown Prince Rong, he was still a concubine's daughter and didn't have the demeanor of a Crown Prince's wife.

Qin Han pouted in dissatisfaction. She had already given the spirit duck to her stepmother, and she still mentioned that it was her who gave it to her. Did she expect to take back something that had been given away? That would be a laughing stock.

It's true that Qin Bi gave the spirit ducks, but they were all given to the legal mother, who can then give them to whomever she wants.

"Oh, there are still quite a few." Qin He reacted for a moment, then said to the lady of the prince beside her, "Qin Han, you've been worried about your husband and children's cultivation. Now that your fourth aunt has entered the path of cultivation, you can share some of the spirit birds and ducks that you can't finish with Qin Han. Qin Han isn't greedy and won't ask for more spirit birds and ducks."

Qin He wasn't interested in the spirit duck; she was only speaking up for Qin Han, so no one else could say anything else.

He Shi shared some of the spirit bird ducks that she couldn't finish with Qin Han. The other ladies, including Qin Yanhou's wife and sisters-in-law, didn't care. They only looked at He Shi. Whether Qin Han got the spirit bird ducks or not was none of their business, since they couldn't get a single piece of the spirit bird duck meat anyway.

Lin was worried that He would be in a difficult position and was about to speak when Qin Bi stared intently at Qin He and said casually, "Why don't you give Qin Han a few spirit ducks? Everyone knows that you and Qin Han have a good relationship and are very close. Are you really going to be stingy with a few spirit ducks?"

Everyone was puzzled and glanced at Qin He. When did Qin He get a spirit duck? Could it be that the cultivators from the Xue Prince's Mansion went to the small space in the demon beast realm and caught a spirit duck?!
Qin Han was also puzzled, as were Qin Yuan and Qin Yan.

Qin Bi spoke as if it were the truth, and Cui Shi believed her, staring at Qin He.

"Where would I get a spirit bird like a duck?" Qin He was a little confused.

"Don't you have any spirit ducks?" Qin Bi chuckled, her tone sarcastic. She gently held the child and fed him melon seeds before saying, "These are common things. How could you, Qin He, not have them? Our fourth branch isn't well-off. We can't even afford to eat a single spirit duck. We have to be frugal and stingy. We can't compare to you, Qin He. You just casually give away several spirit ducks. I thought you had so many spirit ducks that you couldn't even finish them all and needed to generously give Qin Han hundreds or thousands for free."

They just open their mouths and send out a few clever ducks, not even afraid of their tongues getting twisted in the strong wind.

Do you have a beautiful duck? You don't, so don't pretend to be generous.

Qin He also had her pride, and her face flushed red: "Who are you trying to provoke? Just because you caught a spirit duck, you think you're all that? Look at how arrogant you are. We're sisters, why should you talk so rudely to us?"

Isn't this asking for trouble? What right do you have to decide what's in someone else's possessions? Cui stopped her, saying, "Alright, Qin He, you don't need to worry about your fourth aunt's things. You sisters are about to start arguing again."

Qin He's face turned red with embarrassment; being scolded by her stepmother was a disgrace.

Madam He scoffed, "Qin Bi doesn't like to argue with people, nor does she like to quarrel with them."

The implication was clear: Qin He was the bad one. If Qin He were a good person, would Qin Bi have argued with her? Qin Bi's confrontation with Qin He saved He Shi the trouble; otherwise, it would have been He Shi dealing with Qin He.

Jiang also smiled and said, "Qin He is just too domineering."

Jiang's words were merely a supplement, implying that Qin He was still wrong. Cui's lips twitched. This Qin He, the Fourth Branch of the family is not what it used to be. Before, the two powerful ministers and their sons kept the Fourth Branch in the cold, but now with the protection of the Rong Prince, neither Jiang nor Lin would let Qin He off easily!

If Qin He opens her mouth, she's bound to get a scolding.

Lady Qin Yanhou picked up her teacup and drank her tea. She wouldn't interfere if they didn't start arguing. The heir apparent hesitated several times before Lady Qin Yanhou glanced at her, and the heir apparent fell silent.

“Mother, elder sister-in-law,” Qin Han stepped forward and said, “Qin He is doing this for my own good.”

If she didn't speak up, the few spirit ducks that Qin He had mentioned would be gone. Qin Han would definitely use Qin He's words to achieve her goal, and perhaps her stepmother, Madam He, would agree to give her a few spirit ducks.

Madam He ignored her, Madam Lin was speechless. Qin Han was the most cunning. Madam Lin breathed a long sigh of relief. Wasn't this for Qin Han's own good? Qin Han could get a few spirit ducks for free.

Qin He's expression softened, and Qin Han was alright.

After Lady Qin Yanhou had seen enough, she discussed with Madam He and the others: "Let's have a family dinner together in the Marquis's mansion tonight."

Fifth Madam said, "Great! It'll be lively with the whole family eating together."

The ladies and young mistresses were discussing how many dishes to have for dinner, how many meat dishes and how many vegetable dishes. Qin He couldn't get a word in edgewise and felt invisible, so she sat down listlessly and chatted with the young ladies of the Marquis's mansion.

Upon seeing that Qin He had shut up, Qin Han realized that she would have to take matters into her own hands if she wanted to get a few spirit ducks.

"Mother," Qin Han called to Madam He.

The ladies stopped talking.

Madam He looked at Qin Han, who said, "Qin He just said that you have already entered the realm of cultivation. So give me a few spirit ducks. My husband and child are lacking cultivation resources."

The ladies had different expressions. Good heavens, Qin He isn't causing trouble anymore; Qin Han has her eye on the spirit duck.

The second wife, Cui, and the fifth wife glanced at Qin Han. This Qin Han was quite cunning. If Qin He managed to get the spirit duck with just a few words, Qin Han would keep quiet and reap the benefits without saying a word.

That illegitimate daughter has too many ulterior motives.

It's no wonder that the concubine's daughter has so many schemes. If Qin Han hadn't planned for herself, she wouldn't have been able to marry Jiang Mo. The Jiang family is wealthy, and Qin Han is considered to have married comfortably. But her scheming nature always makes people uncomfortable.

Qin Bi glanced at Qin Han and gave a mocking smile.

Now that Qin He was satisfied, she should ask He Shi for the spirit duck.

"Qin Han, how many times have I told you?" Madam He saw through Qin Han's little scheme and said, "The spirit ducks were given to me and your father by Qin Bi and are raised on Rong Yang's estate. It's not appropriate to give them to you."

Qin Han opened her mouth, but Madam He interrupted her: "I didn't give any of Qin Su's spirit birds or ducks, so don't even think about it. If you want to cultivate immortality, go to the small space in the demon beast realm to kill demon beasts and train yourself." (End of this chapter)
