Chapter 159

The wife of Duke Su gave some instructions and left the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

When Qin He learned that Rong Yang was Heir He's child, she was so stunned that she couldn't recover for a long time. She couldn't believe it—how could it be? She was the transmigrated heroine, wasn't she? Ever since she transmigrated, everything had been smooth sailing, and any problems were easily resolved.

Why? When it came to the issue of the heir without descendants, the fate of the "Heavenly Chosen Woman" did not descend.

A powerful, peerless, and handsome man who had no children and was cursed to kill his wives—he should have stopped killing his wives once he married her, and only she should have been able to bear his children. Then she would be envied by everyone and become the great heroine.

How could it be like this?

"No, it shouldn't be like this......" Qin He was panicked, unwilling to accept it, and felt it was impossible.

Many worlds she transmigrated into had "green tea" bitches and "white lotus" flowers. Could her concubine-born cousin Qin Bi be a hidden "white lotus"? She was accustomed to using schemes; there were traces to be found in how Qin Bi compared herself to her everywhere.

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

That's not right. Heir He was so deeply affectionate toward her; how could he allow Qin Bi to bear his child? Qin Bi secretly giving birth to Heir He's child—what was her intention? Truly a "green tea" bitch.

If she hadn't been cursed by Heir He's fate back then, she, Qin He, would already be the wife of another powerful heir of Great Yan. How would Qin Bi have had the opportunity?

Damn it, Qin He hated it to death. The man she liked was no longer "clean."

Qin He was both angry and anxious, her eyes red. With a hot head, she rushed out. Before she could leave the Prince Manor, she ran into Xue Wang Fei. Xue Wang Fei saw that her expression was wrong and called Qin He to a stop.

"Heir's wife, where are you going?" Xue Wang Fei asked.

Qin He was just about to say she was going to find Heir He to ask what was going on with the child, and opened her mouth: "I am going to......"

The words reached her lips, but Qin He couldn't spit them out. She stammered, quickly thinking about how to answer for leaving the manor. She absolutely could not say what she had originally intended; this was ancient times, and she could not overstep the rules.

"Mother." Qin He calmed her mood, put on a smile, took Xue Wang Fei's hand, and said: "I heard that Heir He has a child, and I want to go ask what is going on."

Xue Wang Fei swept a glance over Qin He's face and said: "If it is to offer congratulations, there is no rush. The people of the He clan have already arrived, and the family is still celebrating. Outsiders visiting needs to be postponed."

The He clan people have all arrived? A flash of resentment crossed Qin He's eyes, and Xue Wang Fei narrowed hers.

"Our two families are close." Qin He wanted to see Heir He as soon as possible to get to the bottom of it, so she smiled and coaxed Xue Wang Fei: "Our Xue Prince Manor doesn't count as outsiders. The He family is so good to Fubao; I will take Fubao over to join in the fun. The He clan members will surely like our Fubao very much."

Xue Wang Fei's suspicion relaxed. The fortune and wealth of the Yan Guogong Manor should have had a share for Fubao. It was indeed a pity that Heir He had a child; otherwise, Fubao would have received even more.

If one were to ask who in this Jingcheng least wanted Heir He to have a child, it would be the Xue family.

With Heir He having a child, the things given to Fubao would be much less.

"In two days." Xue Wang Fei was born into a great aristocratic family and understood etiquette. She said: "These few days won't do. The only ones who like Fubao are the wife of Yan Guogong and the old madam. The He clan members may not be happy for Fubao to be present on such an important day."

Qin He still wanted to persuade her, but Xue Wang Fei had already walked away: "You are not allowed to go."

Qin He was frustrated and stifled, feeling incredibly aggrieved. This damn ancient world was full of rules everywhere. Returning to her courtyard, Qin He couldn't sit still, her heart full of chaos, and she was so angry her chest ached.

She ordered the servants to prepare the carriage again; Qin He wanted to go to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

Xue Wang Fei did not stop her from going to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor. This Heir's wife was probably used to being out and about and didn't follow the rules much. If she didn't keep an eye on her, she was afraid Qin He would embarrass the Prince Manor.

Upon arriving at the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, she ran into Qin Yan and the others who were about to go out.

"Sister Qin He, why are you here?" The sisters in the manor greeted her.

"I was bored at home, so I came to find you all." Qin He smiled faintly and teased with her sisters, but in her heart, she was actually incredibly restless, with a belly full of words she had to say—she would burst if she didn't.

The young ladies of the Marquis Manor didn't go out anymore; they linked arms with Qin He and went to the second branch's courtyard to see Cui Shi first.

Cui Shi was not at all surprised that Qin He would come. This concubine-born daughter couldn't keep her cool, and she didn't know who had spoiled her with such habits—she would flare up immediately when something happened. Heir He having a child, Qin He's little thoughts were not hard to guess.

Last time, when she learned that Heir He's wedding wasn't just a formality, Qin He had also caused a scene.

Cui Shi frowned slightly at this pretentious temperament.

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

Cui Shi took a sip of tea: "I heard that too."

The Marquis Manor sisters who were with Qin He immediately chattered: "Really? Isn't Little Heir Rong Yang the child of Heir Rong? After raising him for so long, he is actually Heir He's child? Will Little Heir Rong Yang return to the Yan Guogong Manor?"

Qin He gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Qin Bi secretly giving birth to Heir He's child must have been to slap faces one day. How could she be so "top-grade"? It wasn't good for the child to be born when the father didn't like the mother.

"Heir He doesn't know about this child." Qin He analyzed sternly: "Will he acknowledge this child?"

Cui Shi couldn't hold back and looked at Qin He with a very strange expression. This concubine-born daughter's brain had short-circuited again. Cui Shi used a tone of certainty to shatter Qin He's fantasies: "Heir He has already acknowledged him. It's a child he's been longing for, and Heir He could wake up laughing in his dreams. The entire He family's descendants have returned to Jingcheng; you don't need to question whether Heir He will acknowledge the child."

Qin He was quick-tongued and immediately retorted: "It must be those clan elders who want to acknowledge the child."

Whether the He clan elders wanted to acknowledge him and whether Heir He wanted to acknowledge him were two different things. As long as Heir He didn't acknowledge him, that was all that mattered.

Cui Shi didn't want to talk anymore and pressed down the corner of her mouth. Should she put down her status and take Qin He to the Yan Guogong Manor to see what the situation was? Only then would Qin He understand what Heir He having a child meant.

Whether the clan elders acknowledged him or not was irrelevant. The clan elders didn't lack children; in fact, Yan Guogong also had other legitimate and concubine-born sons, and these sons all had children. The one without children was Heir He.

Whoever didn't acknowledge Rong Yang, Heir He would acknowledge his own child. Qin He actually thought that Heir He was the one who didn't want to acknowledge his own child.

Her brain was 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 shoo them away: "Go out and play."

Qin He hadn't wanted to stay in front of Cui Shi anyway, but she knew that Cui Shi was born into a prestigious family and had very sharp thoughts and handling abilities, so she had originally thought about fishing for some information from Cui Shi's mouth.

Forget it. Qin He and the Marquis Manor sisters left Cui Shi's courtyard.

Since the Qin Yan Marquis Manor became a cultivation family, the gardens had become richer, and the midsummer flowers and plants grew beautifully. The young ladies discussed going to the garden, but Qin He felt stifled and uncomfortable the whole way.

Cui Shi didn't agree with her and actually said that Heir He wanted to acknowledge Rong Yang. It made her so angry she could die.
