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

Chapter 190 It's all Qin He's fault

Is there no wind? It's windy and the temperature has dropped, but not a single drop of rain has fallen.

Even if it's raining, you can't just fool people like that.

Qin Lang returned to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence after dinner, just in time to catch Qin Tan's return after activating the teleportation array. Qin Tan sighed in his study about how the Great Yan only had wind and no rain today, lamenting that the harvest in the Great Yan's farmland would be worrisome if it didn't rain soon.

Madam Zhu was also in the study. When Qin Lang entered, he heard Madam Zhu say, "Fu Bao is sick and unconscious. Young Master Xue sent someone to tell him that Madam Cui sent over a few low-grade spiritual fruits."

Qin Tan said, "Go to the fourth branch of the family and discuss it with your younger brother and sister-in-law."

Qin Tan did not get involved in such social interactions; it was a matter within the household.

Qin Lang grinned: "Don't pay any attention to this family."

He was referring to Qin He and the Xue Prince's Mansion, a case of hating the house because of its inhabitants.

Qin Lang didn't hate Qin He, but he definitely disliked her. Ever since Qin He took advantage of He Shizi's favoritism to belittle the third and fourth wives, Qin Lang had disliked her.

Zhu ignored Qin Lang's angry words and left the study to go to the fourth house to discuss the matter with He.

When Qin Di heard that Qin Tan had returned, he finished his meal and prepared to go to the third courtyard. Qin Tang followed him. When Qin Lang saw that his third uncle and cousin had arrived, he instructed the servant to serve tea. Qin Di sat down on the other side of Qin Tan.

"Did you go to your elder brother's and father's courtyard?" Qin Di asked.

"Not yet." Qin Tan picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.

"It's been windy all day today." Qin Di picked up his teacup and chatted with Qin Tan. "Not a drop of rain fell. I heard that Fu Bao, the child of Qin He, the second wife's concubine's daughter, took the opportunity to summon rain, but he exhausted his spiritual power and fell into a coma."

Qin Lang was taken aback. Qin Di paused here and asked Qin Tan, "Third Brother knows that Fu Bao is in a coma, right?!"

Qin Tan nodded and said, "I just heard from Madam Zhu that she went to your fourth branch of the family to look for your sister-in-law."

As the two were talking, Qin Tang didn't interrupt, but Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

The group looked over, and Qin Tan scolded him, "What's with all this jumping around?"

"No, did Fu Bao also summon rain today?" Qin Lang asked again.

Qin Tang nodded in agreement: "How long did the wind blow, and how long did Fu Bao summon the rain? She's young, and Qin He and the people from the Xue Prince's Mansion were greedy and reckless. Fu Bao's spiritual energy was greatly depleted, and I heard she's still unconscious."

"I knew it!" Qin Lang scoffed. "Serves you right."

"How can you talk like that?" Qin Tan reprimanded her gently, "No matter what, Qin He is still your cousin. How can you talk about Fu Bao like that? Summoning rain is ultimately a blessing for the Great Yan."

"What?!" Qin Lang was furious. "So that's why you were trying to fool me and Rong Yang. It turns out it was Qin He and Fu Bao causing trouble again. Can't the Xue Prince's Mansion just stay quiet for once? Everyone else is summoning rain, but she's summoning rain too."

"What are you saying?" Qin Tang didn't understand.

Qin Tang slammed his fist on the table: "Tell me, what happened?"

Even if no one asked, Qin Lang had to tell them. The weather today was all Qin He's fault. Qin Lang felt uncomfortable if he didn't say it. With impatience and irritability, Qin Lang told them about going to the Rong Prince's mansion and Rong Yang's plan to plant vegetables in the courtyard.

"I asked my sister to summon rain, and the wind even picked up." Qin Lang gestured excitedly, "Dark clouds rolled in, as you all surely saw. It looked like it was going to rain heavily, but in the end, it only blew wind and didn't rain. It must be because my sister Qin Bi knew that Fu Bao had summoned rain and wanted to take credit for it, so she didn't summon rain sincerely."

Qin Tan and Qin Di exchanged a glance. Qin Tan said, "Your sister Qin Bi doesn't have that ability. Today, the dark clouds cover a wide area. Even if a novice cultivator has a strong ability to summon rain, they can only summon a light drizzle, not such a large cloud mass." Qin Lang naturally knew this, but he was also aware of his own limitations. He said, "My sister summons clouds and the wind blows; if she doesn't summon them, the clouds disperse. I'm not blind. It was Sister Qin Bi who summoned the dark clouds."

Qin Tan was skeptical, but Qin Lang wouldn't fabricate something out of thin air.

"No." Qin Tang shook his head and said, "Qin Bi has been sensible since she was a child and considers the big picture. She won't be willful and give up halfway because of Qin He and Fu Bao when it comes to something as important as summoning rain."

Matters vary in size and importance, but summoning rain is of paramount importance right now.

The prestigious families in the capital have all received the news. Currently, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are working hard to recruit cultivators to summon rain. Such an important matter is one that no one would dare to act rashly.

Qin Lang also thought that made sense, but he had seen everything Qin Bi summoned today and had long since concluded that it was Qin Bi who summoned the dark clouds, so Qin Tang's words made no mistake.

Qin Lang sat down on the stool dejectedly, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "Whether you believe it or not, it was Qin He who caused the trouble and that's why it didn't rain. It was the same at the flower viewing banquet at our Marquis's mansion last time. Sister Qin Bi summoned the weather, and Qin He insisted that it was her who summoned it. As a result, after such a big commotion, the clouds dispersed and it only rained in the courtyards of the third and fourth houses."

"If Qin He hadn't caused trouble, there might have been a downpour at the last flower-viewing banquet." The more Qin Lang talked, the more convinced he became, and he said angrily, "Qin He is more trouble than she's worth."

Qin Tan took a breath, still finding it impossible.

If it's about to rain and there's a summons, people might misunderstand and think the rain was summoned.

The path to immortality is arduous, and Qin Lang knows he can't persuade others, but that doesn't stop him from cursing Qin He. Qin Tan lets him curse as long as he doesn't go out and curse, and the court officials laugh at the discord in the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.

That night, Fu Bao was confused and kept talking nonsense.

Qin He felt heartbroken and burst into tears: "I shouldn't have let her summon it."

Prince Xue comforted her, saying, "You are also thinking of the people of Great Yan."

Qin He asked the system for pills, and the system gave her the pill-making recipe. Qin He hurriedly went to make the pills.

Qin Bi was fooling people during the day and was worried that the little dumpling would get angry. But as soon as she called Rong Yang, the little guy laughed and played with her. The youngest son of the Rong family picked up his youngest son from the bed.

Prince Rong, holding his youngest son, walked to Qin Bi's side and asked, "Did you feel unwell during the summons today?"

Qin Bi smiled and shook her head: "No, it doesn't consume much spiritual energy if it doesn't rain."

Rong Jun was relieved. Although Qin Bi's lifespan had been restored, they couldn't be careless. The man lowered his eyes and teased the little dumpling. Qin Bi had a great ability to summon wind, but unfortunately, this world needed rain, so wind was useless.

"Your ability to create wind is something to be wary of," Rong Jun warned. "Don't use your summoning artifact to create wind unless necessary."

Qin Bi wasn't done playing yet: "I'll scrape it at home."

Rong Jun: "......"

Is Qin Bi really like that? Rong Jun thought about it for a moment. Qin Bi's personality is indeed like that, but she just doesn't show it in front of him. In the past, when he disliked Qin Bi, she would suppress her emotions when she saw him.

Qin Bi was able to show her true temper, and Rong Jun chuckled, in a good mood.

The next morning, Qin Lang arrived early.

"Sister, Fu Bao has fainted." Qin Lang said, "Why don't you summon the rain? No one will steal your credit."
