Chapter 347: The He He Shizi Likes Her

"What is the young heir of the Rong Wang Fu going to do again?" Fu Bao complained.

"What else could he go do?" Qin He sneered, "He's going to fight with you again. One Rong Yang isn't enough, so he's even sending the younger one. The younger one is the Rong Heir's child, but he can't compete."

Speaking of this, Qin He said to Cui Shi and others, "I never realized before that the fourth branch's cousin has such ambition. Back when she divorced, I respected her backbone. I thought she didn't care about the power and status of the Yan Guogong Prefecture. Turns out, it was all for today, to send the child to scavenge. If you're going to compete, send the elder one. What's the point of sending the younger one?"

Cui Shi shook her head, "Qin Bi probably doesn't have such depth of scheming. The two powerful Heirs are known to be cursed with wives and childless. Even with Qin Bi's calculations, she wouldn't have thought she'd conceive a child. Right now, she's just envious of the wealth of the Yan Guogong Prefecture."

The Yan Guogong Prefecture has deep foundations, and with the He He Shizi, a powerful minister's heir, its luck and fortune are coveted by countless people.

Qin Bi might not have had these thoughts before, but now that she has a child, it's hard to say. Qin Bi cannot help but plan for Rong Yang. However, sending the younger one to the Yan Guogong Prefecture won't get them anything.

Rong Yang is a child of the Yan Guogong Prefecture; Rong Chi is not.

Rong Chi isn't even as good as Fu Bao. For no other reason, Fu Bao has been raised since childhood as the legitimate young lady of the Yan Guogong Prefecture; everyone in Great Yan knows this. What is Rong Chi? Just a little bun.

Qin He was unconvinced, but after lowering her head to think, she had to admit that Qin Bi indeed didn't have such depth of scheming. The powerful Heirs of Great Yan are cursed with wives and childless; who would expect them to have offspring?

Qin He thought again; if Qin Bi is now envious of the Yan Guogong Prefecture's assets, she has lost all shame.

Before, Qin Bi had no such thoughts, but now she does!

Qin Han sighed. She was from the fourth branch and Qin Bi's younger half-sister, "Sigh, how could Sister Qin Bi let the young heir go to the Yan Guogong Prefecture? Her intentions are obvious; she's just envious of the Yan Guogong Prefecture's luck and fortune."

"Yes," Qin He's legitimate younger sister mocked, "Who isn't envious of the Yan Guogong Prefecture's foundations?"

Qin Yan sided with Qin He, growing more anxious as she listened, urging, "Sister Qin He, hurry and send Fu Bao to the Yan Guogong Prefecture. We can talk after Fu Bao leaves. If Fu Bao goes a step late, someone else might snatch the good things."

Qin He, however, had other thoughts. With everyone talking back and forth, she too felt tempted. Yes, the Yan Guogong Prefecture holds a hereditary first-rank title; who isn't envious?

"If Qin Bi can send the younger one to the Yan Guogong Prefecture," Qin He said, "I can also send my Xue Rui to the Yan Guogong Prefecture. Let's both send our children and see who wins."

Qin He's legitimate younger sister was eager to try and agreed, "That's a good idea."

"What's good about it?" Cui Shi intervened. As the head of the household, she was not like Qin He, a concubine-born daughter without manners. She said, "Confronting them like this is too ugly."

Qin He retorted, "Qin Bi doesn't mind being ugly."

"Exactly," Qin He's legitimate younger sister said.

"No," Cui Shi frowned. With Qin Han and Qin Yan present, Qin He shouldn't have voiced her idea. It was too late to stop her now. Cui Shi looked at Qin He, "If you also send your Xue Rui to the Yan Guogong Prefecture, your desire to compete will be too obvious."

The He He Shizi liked Qin He's aloofness, not this desire for fame and profit.

For Qin He's future and to ensure the second branch could continue to benefit, Qin He had to pretend to be proper. Cui Shi glanced at Qin He; Qin He relied on the He He Shizi's guilt.

A white moonlight, combined with the guilt of delaying Qin He's marriage, was enough to control the entire Yan Guogong Prefecture.

With all this, why act so desperate in fighting for the Yan Guogong Prefecture's assets?

Cui Shi was Qin He's legitimate mother and had to arrange things for her to prevent Qin He from acting rashly.

Qin He thought carefully and agreed; Cui Shi made sense.

"Right," Fu Bao chimed in, "Bring my younger brother."

"No younger brother," Qin He dropped the idea.

Qin Han also sided with Qin He, urging Fu Bao, "Go quickly."

Qin He immediately sent Fu Bao to the Yan Guogong Prefecture. She stayed at the Qin Yan Hou Fu to wait for news, and in the meantime, she spoke ill of Qin Bi with her sisters like Qin Han, getting angry thinking about how Qin Bi competed with her over everything.

It was bad enough that Qin Bi competed with her, but now even the children were joining the fight. It was too despicable.

Qin He snorted. The He He Shizi liked her. He married Qin Bi only to pave the way for her. Qin Bi's schemes were useless. If one isn't loved, one isn't loved; no amount of scheming would help.

As soon as Fu Bao arrived at the Yan Guogong Prefecture, Qin Lang received the news.

Returning to the fourth branch's courtyard, Qin Lang whispered it to Qin Bi.

Qin Bi narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed. Dealing with the Yan Guogong Prefecture always involved such troubles. Her entanglement with Qin He was too much; it wasn't a good thing. This was an entanglement of luck.

However, Rong Yang was He Yan's child, so there was no way around it.

Jiang Shi didn't dare to ask. The legitimate mother, He Shi, asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Qin Bi could speak, Qin Lang said, "Fu Bao has also gone to the Yan Guogong Prefecture."

He Shi frowned, feeling displeased, "Won't the children start fighting?"

Qin Bi also grew worried. She sent a guard to tell the Rong Heir. Rong Juan didn't care at all. He passed the message to the young prince, telling him to go to the Yan Guogong Prefecture. The Rong Heir had already given instructions: if necessary, beat them up.

The young prince muttered to himself, thought for a moment, and decided to go to the Imperial Study first.

"Father," the young prince said, "Can I hit Fu Bao?"

The Great Yan Emperor glared, "How can you hit a young princess?"

Before the young prince could say more, the Great Yan Emperor added, "The Rong Heir trusts you enough to let you go. Hurry and go. Don't let your younger brother suffer. In war, brothers are closest. Rong Yang and Rong Chi are no different from your own brothers."

The young prince pondered the meaning of these words while the Prime Minister lowered his eyes.

The Minister of War pulled the young prince aside and whispered, "If they deserve a beating, you still have to beat them."

The words were very low, but those who needed to hear them heard them. The Great Yan Emperor pretended not to hear.

The young prince understood and left the palace.

Inside the Yan Guogong Prefecture, the little bun was very happy, eating rare spirit melons and boiled melon seeds, which were also spirit seeds. He Yan was about to go to court, and the little bun was crying loudly.

"Stay home and watch the child," the little bun was throwing a tantrum.

He Yan finally realized how hard it was to raise a child. The kid cried all day. Turning around, he picked up the child again. Rong Yang peeled a melon seed, gave one to his younger brother, and fed it into his mouth. The little bun ate it with great relish.

Seeing this, He Yan peeled a melon seed, gave one to Rong Yang, and then one to the little bun.

Rong Yang sat obediently and said, "My father is going to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm to find resources for me and my brother. Can you look after me and my brother? The Rong Wang Fu isn't as wealthy as the Yan Guogong Prefecture anymore."

In the past two years, Rong Juan had been so busy taking care of the children that he couldn't attend court, and he couldn't even find time to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm.

He Yan pondered and said, "The Rong Heir watches the children; I will go."

Watch the children for the Rong Heir? He Yan looked down at the little bun in his arms, who was shaking his head back and forth, and felt it would be a struggle. The child was too unruly.
