Chapter 159: Qin He Was So Angry She Could Die

Lady of Su Guogong gave some instructions before leaving Qin Yan Hou Fu.

When Qin He learned that Rong Juan was He He Shizi's child, the shock left her stunned for a long while, unable to believe it. How could this be? Wasn't she the transmigrated heroine? Since her transmigration, everything had gone smoothly for her, and any problems were easily resolved.

Why? On the issue of the heirless He He Shizi, the fate of the chosen daughter of heaven had not descended.

A man of power and influence, peerlessly handsome, childless and yet a wife-killer—shouldn't marrying him have stopped him from killing wives? Only she should be able to bear his child, then be envied by all and become the great heroine.

How could this happen?

"No, this shouldn't be..." Qin He panicked, unwilling to accept it, yet still finding it impossible.

Many transmigrated worlds had green teas and little white flowers. Could her illegitimate elder cousin Qin Bi be a hidden little white flower? She was skilled at using schemes, and there were signs everywhere in how Qin Bi constantly compared herself to Qin He.

Qin Bi was jealous of her and wanted to steal everything from her.

That didn't make sense. He He Shizi was so deeply devoted to her; how could he possibly allow Qin Bi to bear his child? What were Qin Bi's intentions in secretly giving birth to He He Shizi's child? Truly a green tea.

If she hadn't been blocked by He He Shizi's fate back then, Qin He would now be the wife of another great Yan minister's heir. How could Qin Bi have had any chance?

Damn it. Qin He hated it; the man she loved was no longer pure.

Qin He was both angry and anxious, her eyes red. With a sudden rush of heat to her head, she hurried out of the house. Before she even left Wang Fu, she met Wang Fei, who noticed her strange expression and called her back.

"Young Lady of the Heir, where are you going?" Wang Fei asked.

Qin He was about to say she was going to find He He Shizi to ask about the child, but when she opened her mouth, she only stammered, "I'm going to..."

The words stuck in her throat. She hesitated, quickly thinking about how to answer about leaving the mansion. She absolutely could not say what she originally intended; this was ancient times, and one must not overstep boundaries.

"Mother," Qin He calmed herself, put on a smile, and took Wang Fei's hand, saying, "I heard He He Shizi has a child. I want to go ask what happened."

Wang Fei glanced at Qin He's face and said, "If it is to offer congratulations, there is no rush. The He family clan members have all arrived, and the family is still celebrating. Outsiders should wait before visiting."

The entire He family clan has arrived? A flash of resentment crossed Qin He's eyes, while Wang Fei narrowed hers slightly.

"Our two families are close," Qin He said, trying to see He He Shizi as soon as possible to get to the bottom of things. She smiled and coaxed Wang Fei, "Our Xue Wang Fu is not an outsider. The He family treats Fu Bao so well. I'll take Fu Bao over to join the festivities; the He family clan members will surely love our Fu Bao."

Wang Fei's suspicion eased. The fortune and wealth of Yan Guogong Fu should indeed include a share for Fu Bao. It was truly a pity that He He Shizi had a child; otherwise, Fu Bao would have received even more.

If anyone in Jingcheng least wanted He He Shizi to have a child, it was undoubtedly the Xue family.

With He He Shizi having a child, there would be much less to give Fu Bao.

"Wait a couple of days," said Wang Fei, who came from a great aristocratic family and understood propriety. "These few days are not suitable. Only Yan Guogong's Lady and the Old Lady like Fu Bao. The He family clan members might not be pleased to have Fu Bao present on such an important day."

Qin He wanted to persuade her further, but Wang Fei had already left, saying, "You are not allowed to go."

Qin He felt depressed and stifled, utterly aggrieved. This damn ancient world was full of rules. Back in her courtyard, Qin He couldn't sit still; her heart was full of turmoil, and her anger made her chest ache.

She ordered a servant to prepare a carriage again; Qin He was going to Qin Yan Hou Fu.

Wang Fei did not stop her from going to Qin Yan Hou Fu. This Young Lady of the Heir was probably used to showing her face outside and didn't follow rules much. If Wang Fei didn't keep an eye on her, Qin He might bring shame to Wang Fu.

Upon arriving at Qin Yan Hou Fu, she ran into Qin Yan and others who were about to go out.

"Sister Qin He, why have you come?" The young ladies of the mansion approached her.

"I was bored at home, so I came to find you," Qin He said lightly, joking with the young ladies, though inside she was extremely agitated, with a belly full of words she needed to vent.

The young ladies of the Hou Fu decided not to go out. Instead, they took Qin He's arm and first went to the Second Courtyard to see Cui Shi.

Cui Shi was not at all surprised that Qin He had come. This illegitimate daughter was impatient; who knew who had spoiled her into such a habit? She would act immediately whenever something happened. With He He Shizi having a child, Qin He's little schemes were easy to guess.

Last time, when she learned that He He Shizi's marriage was not just a formality, Qin He had caused a scene.

With such a pretentious temperament, Cui Shi frowned slightly.

"Mother," Qin He called out affectionately to Cui Shi and pretended ignorance as she inquired, "I heard that Sister Qin Bi's child is He He Shizi's child. Is that true?"

Cui Shi took a sip of tea and said, "I have heard that too."

The Hou Fu young ladies accompanying Qin He immediately started chattering, "It's true! Isn't Young Master Rong Juan the son of Rong He Shizi? After raising him for so long, he turns out to be He He Shizi's child. Will Young Master Rong Juan return to Yan Guogong Fu?"

Qin He clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Qin Bi secretly giving birth to He He Shizi's child must have been to slap her face one day. How could someone be so despicable? Having a child without being loved is bad for the child too.

"He He Shizi does not know about this child," Qin He analyzed solemnly. "Will he acknowledge this child?"

Cui Shi couldn't hold back anymore and looked at Qin He with a strange expression. This illegitimate daughter's brain had malfunctioned again. Cui Shi broke Qin He's fantasy with a definite tone: "He He Shizi has already acknowledged him. This is a child they have longed for; He He Shizi could wake up laughing in his dreams. All the He family descendants have returned to Jingcheng. You need not doubt that He He Shizi will not acknowledge his child."

Qin He spoke too quickly and immediately refuted, "It must be the clan elders who want to acknowledge the child."

The clan elders wanting to acknowledge him and He He Shizi wanting to acknowledge him are two different things. As long as He He Shizi does not acknowledge him, it is fine.

Cui Shi didn't want to speak anymore. She pressed her lips together. Should she lower her pride and take Qin He to Yan Guogong Fu to see the situation so that Qin He would finally understand what it meant for He He Shizi to have a child?

Whether the clan elders acknowledge him or not is irrelevant. The clan elders do not lack children. Even Yan Guogong has other legitimate and illegitimate sons, and those sons all have children. The one without a child is He He Shizi.

Whoever does not acknowledge Rong Juan, He He Shizi will acknowledge his own child. Qin He actually thought that only He He Shizi did not want to acknowledge his own child.

Her brain must be flooded with water. Cui Shi was absolutely certain that Qin He's brain was flooded with water.

"I am tired," Cui Shi waved her hand to dismiss them, "Go out and play."

Qin He didn't want to stay in front of Cui Shi anyway. She only knew that Cui Shi came from a prestigious family and was very shrewd in her thinking and handling of affairs. She had originally hoped to coax some information from Cui Shi's mouth.

Forget it. Qin He and the Hou Fu young ladies left Cui Shi's courtyard.

Since Qin Yan Hou Fu became a cultivation family, its gardens had become abundant. In midsummer, the flowers and plants grew luxuriantly. The young ladies discussed going to the garden. All the way, Qin He felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

Cui Shi did not go along with her words; instead, she said that He He Shizi wanted to acknowledge Rong Juan. It made Qin He furious.
