Chapter 185: Planning For Qin He

Qin He said angrily: "It hasn't rained, and the harvest of the Immortal Sect is not good either, so it's very expensive."

Fubao frowned, feeling for the first time that it was better to ask for things from the Yan Guogong Manor; at least she didn't have to spend silver. As long as she was sweet-mouthed, the old lady and the wife of the Yan Guogong would give her all kinds of good things.

Fubao stopped pulling flowers and grass and stood up: "I'm going to the Yan Guogong Manor to ask."

She looked very natural.

"You just came back and you're going again. Outsiders will laugh at you for being greedy and coveting the family business of the Yan Guogong Manor." Qin He hesitated and thought for a while: "Go in two days, and bring a small gift."

The maid and the old woman hesitated. This time they went to the Yan Guogong Manor, it seemed different; people looked like they didn't welcome them. But the maid and the old woman didn't dare to say more about these words.

With the Heir Apparent's Consort's temper, she wouldn't listen.

On this side, Qin He didn't send Fubao to the Yan Guogong Manor, but rumors spread outside that Fubao had no upbringing. Although the little girl was not old, she was a child who had grown up eating many good things, and her height looked like five or six years old.

At this age, she should be sensible, but as a result, she didn't understand any etiquette when she went to someone else's manor as a guest.

"How is it that she doesn't understand etiquette?" someone asked.

"When she went to someone else's manor, everyone ate what was served. Adults generally don't eat, just taste it. But the first-rank little princess went to be a guest and clamored to eat spirit fruit."

"Spirit fruit is so rare that you might not be able to buy it with silver. Only beast crystals can buy spirit fruit and spirit food. She asked for it as soon as she opened her mouth. How could she be so embarrassed? Even if she is young, she shouldn't be ignorant of etiquette. She is still a first-rank little princess; she really can't compare to the young ladies of ordinary families."

"The little princess's mother is a talented woman; it shouldn't be like this!"

"You don't know this, right! That Heir Apparent's Consort of Xue is concubine-born. She was able to become a talented woman because her legitimate mother straightened her out. She was taught well, but it's much worse for a concubine-born daughter to teach children."

"That's true. Doesn't the Princess of Xue care?"

"I guess she doesn't know that Qin He didn't teach the little princess well."

"The little princess is in front of her eyes all day long. Can the Princess of Xue not see that there is a problem with her upbringing? Knowledge and etiquette can be seen from childhood. The Princess of Xue's background is not low."

This reached the Xue Prince's Manor, and the Princess of Xue was so angry that she smashed a tea cup.

The Princess of Xue was furious. Thinking about it made her angry. Their manor's Fubao could only be the Fubao with good fortune, not have a bad reputation. Where did this rumor come from? Things don't happen without a cause; it's not impossible that the Xue Prince's Manor's rivals did it.

The Princess of Xue said: "Call Qin He to me."

Calling her by her name and omitting the title of Heir Apparent's Consort showed how angry the Princess of Xue was.

The maid invited Qin He, and Qin He entered the room.

The Princess of Xue scolded Qin He bloody-headed. Qin He felt wronged: "Why did Mother scold me?"

"Why?" The Princess of Xue had a furious face, thinking about it made her angry. She glanced and signaled the old woman: "Tell the Heir Apparent's Consort about the rumors outside. Our good Fubao, you didn't teach her well at all as a concubine-born daughter."

So what if I'm concubine-born? Qin He said angrily: "Mother, you cannot belittle my background."

The Princess of Xue was even angrier: "Not caring about the rumors, but actually caring about a sentence I said? Concubine-born is indeed shallow-sighted."

Qin He was suddenly full of anger and wanted to refute. She was used to going smoothly. Who didn't praise her Qin He for being gentle and elegant like an orchid, even though she was concubine-born, and everyone in the capital thought she was beautiful and kind-hearted?

Why did the Xue Prince's Manor look down on her?

At this time, the old woman told the rumors outside one by one.

"Who said that? I'll tear her mouth!" Qin He was furious after hearing it, her face flushed with anger: "Our Fubao is the fortune of Great Yan and a first-rank little princess. Daring to mock our Fubao, she deserves to die."

The old woman lowered her head, letting Qin He clamor.

"Enough." The Princess of Xue looked down on Qin He's inability to stabilize the scene and thought for a while: "The priority now is to check who is the enemy of our Xue Prince's Manor. This is to break the fortune value of our Xue Prince's Manor."

In the eyes of the Princess of Xue, Fubao gathered the fortune value of the entire Xue Prince's Manor.

Qin He immediately sent someone to investigate. After the Heir Apparent of Xue heard about it, he also sent someone to investigate. The fourth branch of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor, Lady Cui, sent someone to call Qin He, and Qin He went to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor.

In the scorching summer, in the living room, Lady Cui sat upright and asked: "Qin He, do you know about the rumors outside?"

"I don't know which gossiper said it." Qin He brought a bit of willfulness, angry and hateful: "If I find out who said it, I will never forgive her. The first-rank little princess is Fubao. The Emperor will not allow anyone to mock our Fubao."

Lady Cui's mouth twitched. She was too self-important. The first-rank little princess was held high in the Xue Prince's Manor, but in the eyes of the Emperor of Great Yan, she was just one of many princesses, and there were princesses above her.

Mocking Fubao, the Emperor might not have the leisure to care.

Unless the Xue Prince went to the Emperor.

Lady Cui glanced at Qin He. As the head mistress, she had bright eyes and didn't be deceived by Qin He's righteousness. She had always seen this concubine-born daughter clearly; she was arrogant and self-important.

"You are concubine-born, and I didn't teach you well." Lady Cui picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "Fubao's education, if you can't do it well, it's better to send Fubao to the Princess of Xue."

"No." Qin He immediately refused: "How can my child be held by someone else?"

Lady Cui stopped drinking tea, her eyes disappointed. She was doing it for Fubao's good and planning for Qin He, but the blind thing didn't see it at all, let alone appreciate it. This concubine-born daughter should have resented her in her heart.

"The Princess of Xue is Fubao's grandmother." Lady Cui reminded Qin He.

Qin He refused: "I will raise my child myself."

Lady Cui let her be. Fubao was not her child, and she would be disliked if she cared too much. She was just a granddaughter, and she didn't have few children like the Yan Guogong Manor.

Qin He was worried that the child would not be close to her if raised by someone else, and she wouldn't let go of the child. Could others not see it?

This concubine-born daughter didn't know what she was thinking, always worried that the child would not be close to her. What's the use of being close to you? Being able to pave a cultivation path for the child is the ability. She always likes to play these little schemes.

It's a pity. Qin He's ability to earn silver, if Lady Cui had this ability, she could raise the entire Cui family and the Qin Yan Marquis Manor by one level. Sigh, for so many years, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor only earned a little silver.

The matter of raising the child by the Princess of Xue was not mentioned. Lady Cui took a small sip of tea and said: "Rumors will not come without a cause. Which manor did you take Fubao to attend a banquet in these few days?"

Qin He knew that Lady Cui wanted to help her solve the rumors, so she put away the resentment just now and said: "I didn't go anywhere else, I went to several flower-viewing parties, and Fubao didn't ask for anything from other manors."

Qin He protected her tightly, it must be someone else gossiping, Fubao was very sensible.

Fubao's temper, Lady Cui took a deep breath, thinking of something: "Did Fubao go to the Yan Guogong Manor?"

"Went once." Qin He was dissatisfied: "Didn't give anything." ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
