The young prince considered it carefully and decided not to go.

As a prince, he could only visit the homes of ministers he knew well, or he could accompany the sons of two powerful ministers to either of their residences. The young prince would visit Prince He, and if Prince He went to the residence of Marquis Qin Yan, he would go there too.

"Do you need me to take you there?" Prince He asked Rong Yang.

Rong Yang asked Rong Chi, "Are you going to your maternal grandfather's house?"

The little dumpling asked, "Where are we going?"

Rong Yang poked his storage bag: "You're a big spender now, aren't you going to buy food for your cousins? You could at least give them some cultivation resources. Do you have any snacks with spiritual energy?"

The little dumpling was very surprised, clutching the storage bag: "Eat me?"

Rong Yang stared at him, thinking, "How can he be so greedy?"
The little dumpling belatedly realized: "Okay, let's go to Grandpa's house."

The children had already discussed it. Prince He would definitely have to go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence. Rong Yang often went to her maternal grandfather's house, where there were guards. She could go with the adults or not. But this little one couldn't be left alone.

The little baby can't walk yet, so it's definitely not feasible for the little prince to take care of two children at once.

Each child ate a bowl of steamed egg custard from the spirit plant chicken. The children ate happily. Prince He fed the little dumpling, who kept calling out for this and touching the storage bag, being incredibly playful.

After breakfast, it was already quite late, so Prince He took several children to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence.

Since Prince He didn't need to send a formal invitation to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, Qin Yan didn't expect him to come. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Prince He arrive carrying a child. Upon closer inspection, he realized, "Good heavens, it's my precious little nephew!"

"Luckily I didn't go out," Qin Yan said. "Hurry inside the mansion."

Prince He nodded. Rong Yang walked slowly, so Qin Yan picked up the child. Qin Xiang glanced at the little prince in his princely robes. This one wasn't very big either, so there was no need to worry about him. The little prince was still worried about the two little ones.

"What brings you here, Prince He?" Qin Yan said as he walked. "It's been a while since I've been to the Marquis's residence."

Prince He said, "I don't have time."

The little dumpling said, "I'm looking after the baby. I'm too small to be left alone."

Prince He: "..."

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Xiang: "..."

Alright, it seems Qin Yan now understands too. Prince He must have been taking care of Prince Rong's child recently. He had only heard a few words about it, but he didn't expect that Prince He would actually be taking care of Prince Rong's child.

"Where is your father?" Qin Yan teased him.

The child mimicked: "To save up for my family's fortune."

Qin Yan: "..."

The baby's voice was sweet and innocent, and everyone teased him. They all went into the living room together in a lively atmosphere. There was a stove in the room, and the servant threw in some high-quality charcoal, which quickly warmed the living room. The servant then went to get some fruits and put them on the stove.

Qin Yan sent someone to inform Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang. Qin Lang was Qin Bi's cousin, but he was no different from a younger brother. Both of his nephews had come, so he was to let them know.

Before long, Qin Tang and Qin Xun arrived in a hurry, followed by Qin Lang.

"Why did Rong Yang and her younger brother come on such a cold day?" Qin Tang said, reaching out to Prince He.

Prince He lowered his head, thinking the child wouldn't look for Qin Tang. But to his surprise, the child immediately reached out for Qin Tang to hold him. The young prince turned his head in confusion, looking at the Marquis's living room and then at the courtyard outside.

Rong Yang reached out as well, but before Qin Xun could bend down, Qin Lang scooped the child up in his arms. He was practically fighting over the child! Qin Lang doted on this nephew; this was Qin Bi's first child. "Rong Yang," Qin Lang said, "Let's go to the fourth courtyard."

Rong Yang nodded: "Okay, I have something to do."

Qin Lang and Qin Xun exchanged a glance, wondering what could possibly be wrong with the child.

Rong Yang turned to the little baby in Qin Tang's arms and said, "You go too."

"Okay," the little dumpling replied crisply.

With Prince Qin accompanying them, Qin Tang's children, who were quite fond of their nephew, greeted him and left with the child in their arms. The young prince hesitated for a moment, then followed.

When the children from the main branch and the other branches of the Qin family heard that Rong Yang had arrived, they all ran over to play with her. When they saw the little dumpling, they were all very curious. This little one was like a precious treasure, and the young master Rong doted on her.

A group of children followed, and they all rushed to the fourth room.

Jiang and Lin immediately gave the child some fruit, and the little prince quickly became friends with the other children. Qin Di also had a chance to hold the little dumpling, who was quite sweet-talking.

"Grandpa," the little dumpling called out.

"Hey." Qin Di gave the child a lucky charm.

The little dumpling put it away, and Rong Yang took out the silver notes. The little dumpling took one look and also grabbed a handful of silver notes. Everyone was stunned. Even the children who were running around and playing, and the children who were eating, were attracted to the attention.

"Why are you carrying so many silver notes?" Qin Di asked Rong Yang.

“My father, Prince He, gave me a share of the profits from the soap shop.” Rong Yang deliberately said it was a share of the profits from the soap shop, and then added, “Rong Chi and I both have a share. When my maternal grandfather’s family built a courtyard, my brother and I each contributed a share.”

Qin Di looked at Qin Tang, who then handed the silver notes to the two children, saying, "Your mother has given you silver."

The little dumpling quickly stretched out his little hand. He gave it to his uncle, but his uncle didn't want it. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to him. Rong Yang glanced at the little dumpling, and the child withdrew his little hand.

“It was given to me by my father, Prince He.” Rong Yang refused to accept it: “What is given to me is mine. Rong Chi and I will give it to my maternal grandfather. My uncle doesn’t need to stand on ceremony with Rong Yang. My maternal grandmother is my father’s aunt, so she should spend his money.”

Qin Tang hesitated, but Madam He, upon hearing this, realized that it made sense.

“Take it. He Yan gives money to the second branch of the family, but not to me, his aunt.” Madam He said, “Since Rong Yang has given it, there’s no need to be polite to He Yan. He didn’t give anything to the fourth branch when he got engaged to Qin Bi.”

Qin Tang put the silver note on the table again, but the little dumpling saw it and refused to give it to him.

Qin Di and He Shi, the eldest son, discussed it and decided that they shouldn't have taken Rong Yang and Rong Chi's money. However, since it was a share of the soap shop's profits, they had to take it, mainly to embarrass Qin He.

After discussing it, Qin Tang went to the front yard.

Qin Yan and Prince He were chatting over tea when Qin Tang sat down and looked Prince He up and down, saying, "Rong Yang and Rong Chi gave their maternal grandfather ten thousand taels of silver from the soap shop's share."

Prince He paused for a moment, then nodded without saying anything else.

Qin Tang understood what Prince He meant, a smile playing on his lips, and got up to go back.

Qin Yan narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised that the Crown Prince He had divided the soap shop among Rong Yang and Rong Chi. However, upon reflection, it made perfect sense. The Crown Prince He only had one child, Rong Yang. Who else would he dote on if not Rong Yang?
"Do you love Fu Bao?" Qin Yan chuckled.

If Qin Yan was destined to be widowed and childless, then the relative severity of the outcome is irrelevant.

The Marquis's mansion was in an uproar over Rong Yang and Rong Chi's lavish spending. Even Qin He's younger sister was stunned: "What? The Heir Apparent He gave Rong Yang and Rong Chi a share of the soap shop?"

Qin Yan frowned and nodded: "Yes." (End of this chapter)
