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

Chapter 164 Why did she find it hard to believe?
Qin He felt resentful at being treated poorly.

But she couldn't leave. If she left, her stepmother, Cui, would look down on her, and Qin Bi would look down on her too. The people from the Duke of Yan's mansion hadn't kicked her out, had they? Just wait, wait until she becomes a powerful cultivator and slaps these people in the face.

She's a time-traveling heroine, not some mediocre person.

He Shi arrived from the Qin Yan Marquis's residence a step later. She was stunned when she saw Qin He. She was suspicious but didn't ask anything. As long as He Shizi was holding Rong Yang and it didn't affect Rong Yang's interests, she was fine.

After the meal, Lady Yan called Qin He to the small hall: "It's not convenient for me to entertain guests at my residence. After you finish your meal, go back with Fu Bao."

Qin He had wanted to leave for a while, but she was forcing herself to stay. Hearing this, she smiled, thinking she was being very polite, and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll bring Fu Bao to play another day."

Lady Yan did not respond, and Qin He left with Fu Bao and her legitimate son.

On the way back, sitting in the carriage, Qin He felt increasingly suffocated and almost vomited blood from anger. Since she transmigrated, she had never been so humiliated. Everyone ignored her, looked down on her, and hated her to death.

Back at the Xue Prince's residence, Princess Xue was waiting in the main hall.

When Qin He and her two children returned, the nanny took Qin He's legitimate son away. Qin He's arms were sore. Fu Bao ran to Princess Xue's side to show off how good the food was. Everyone praised her for being lucky.

Compared to her time at the Duke of Yan's mansion, the little girl was now quite spirited and smug.

"The Duchess of Yan invited you to stay for dinner?" Princess Xue asked, somewhat surprised.

Qin He smiled and nodded, then sat down and said, "I was going to stay longer, but Fu Bao insisted on coming back, so I brought her back. The He family truly lives up to its reputation as a great family of cultivators; every member is outstanding."

Princess Xue's eyes flashed, and she smiled, "It seems that Prince He has not neglected Fu Bao because of having a child."

Qin He chimed in, "Fu Bao was raised under the watchful eye of Prince He."

Princess Xue nodded. In that case, they needed to devise a plan to help Fu Bao gain more from the Duke of Yan's mansion. Having a biological child was a different matter for the Heir Apparent.

Qin He went to the Duke of Yan's mansion, and Rong Jun quickly found out about it.

Rong Jun returned to his bedroom from the study. His youngest son was still asleep. Rong Jun sat down to drink tea and told Qin Bi, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, about the matter: "Qin He went to the Duke of Yan's mansion?"

Qin Bi was surprised. Wow, even she, Rong Yang's birth mother, couldn't go on such a day, but Qin He went so brazenly.

His courage is commendable; one has to admire it.

"Rong Yang didn't suffer any losses, did he?" Qin Bi was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

Qin Bi always felt that things in life are unpredictable and cannot be certain.

"What are you thinking?" Rong Jun glanced at Qin Bi: "How could that be? If He Yan dares to let my son suffer a loss, I, Rong Jun, dare to make Rong Yang another minor prince title."

Whenever Rong Jun noticed that Prince He was mistreating Rong Yang in the slightest, he would take the child back.

With his fighting spirit, getting his eldest son a title of Prince's heir wouldn't be a problem.

However, the Duke of Yan's mansion clearly belongs to Rong Yang, and there is absolutely no way he would hand it over to someone else.

Qin Bi believed him. The young master Rong had the ability. Right now, the main problem was that he needed to take care of his youngest son, so the young master Rong couldn't do without him. Otherwise, he could easily obtain a hereditary title through military merit.

"I just don't understand," Qin Bi said, bewildered. "Isn't Qin He very proud? If Prince He were truly interested, he could simply remain cold, and he would seek compensation from her himself. It's so awkward for Qin He to be so eagerly approaching him at this time." "The Yan State Duke's mansion's vast fortune is about to vanish," Rong Jun scoffed. "They're just getting impatient!"

Qin Bi chuckled. So, Qin He wasn't so confident that she could control He Yan. Some things can't be judged by appearances alone. Qin Bi gave a sarcastic laugh, but Qin He had indeed gained many benefits.

It's good that we got divorced!

The women of the civil and military officials' families had heard about Qin He's visit to the Duke of Yan's mansion, and they couldn't help but sigh. The wife of the Minister of Revenue said, "The affection between childhood sweethearts is just different. If Qin He is allowed to go on such a day, then Prince He will probably continue to support her."

“I heard that he left after having a meal,” another lady said.

The ladies seemed thoughtful; they weren't treating Qin He like an outsider.

“From now on, we must not look down on Princess Fu Bao, who is of the first rank.” The wife of the Vice Minister of War said, “With a mother like Qin He, Princess Fu Bao’s path of cultivation will not be bad in the future.”

The ladies each had their own ideas, but none of them refuted them.

In the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and those without strength are like ants. Everyone wants to befriend powerful cultivators.

The next day, Qin He went to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence and arrogantly went to see her stepmother, Cui Shi: "Mother, I'm going to see Prince He."

Cui was filled with doubt and surprise. She couldn't believe that Qin He would actually go, and that she would even be offered a meal before leaving. She never imagined that Prince He was so affectionate towards Qin He, giving her such dignity even on such an occasion.

"You asked about Prince He's child?" Cui Shi still found it hard to believe.

"I asked." Qin He felt a little guilty, but when she thought of Qin Bi secretly giving birth to He Shizi's child, she became confident again: "I said I would ask, and I will definitely not go back on my word. The people of the Yan State Duke's Mansion still love my Fu Bao. Since Qin Bi gave birth to the child, He Shizi had no choice but to acknowledge it, after all, he didn't have any children. Qin Bi is really good at scheming."

Cui asked with a hint of doubt, "You really asked?"

"Of course." Qin He said proudly, "Prince He promised me a lifetime of one love with one person. He has betrayed me and must give me an explanation. How can Qin Bi steal my and Fu Bao's position just because she used tricks to have a child?"

Cui stared at Qin He, but she couldn't quite believe it.

Qin He was so confident that Cui Shi had no choice but to believe her. After all, Qin He had indeed gone to the Duke of Yan's mansion, and Qin Yan had gone with her. The concubine's daughter was extremely envious when she returned.

"Mother," Qin He said solemnly, her face serious, "I have a high fortune value, and my child also has a high fortune value. I hope that the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion and the Cui family will both help me."

As the matriarch of the family, Madam Cui, being of high birth and valuing profit above all else, said, "As long as you have the ability, the Cui family will naturally help you."

Qin He said smugly, raising her chin slightly: "I need cultivation resources, and I happen to be short of demon beast crystals. Mother, could you give me a hundred demon beast crystals? Being valued by the immortal sect will also benefit the Cui clan."

Without saying anything more, Cui ordered someone to fetch one hundred demon beast crystals for Qin He.

Qin He smiled proudly as she left Cui's courtyard. Her younger sister and Qin Yan, among others, came over, praising and admiring Qin He with bright eyes.

"Sister Qin He, you are truly blessed!" Qin Yan said.

Qin He smiled and enjoyed the flattery.

Qin He's younger sister snorted: "So what if Qin Bi is so proud and secretly gave birth to He Shizi's child? She still can't compete with Fu Bao. When Rong Yang, the young heir, meets the He family members, Qin He can go to the Yan State Duke's Mansion, but Qin Bi can't. What does Qin Bi have to compete with her sister Qin He?"
