Chapter 391: There Will Be None Left From Now On

"Princess Xue..." the Lady of Yan Guogong felt irritated in her heart.

They were all nobles; the Lady of Yan Guogong could not bring herself to hold someone back from leaving.

Princess Xue waved her hand and pressed Qin He back down.

Fu Bao stood dazed beside the Lady of Yan Guogong, watching the carriage of Xue Wang Fu depart. The Lady of Yan Guogong glanced at Fu Bao; it was unbearable. The more spoiled she was before, the more she was despised now.

Before, she had taken extra care of this child because of He Yan; back then, He Yan had no children!

Now that He Yan had a child, Fu Bao should no longer remain in Yan Guogong Fu. For this reason, the Lady of Yan Guogong began to ignore Fu Bao and paid little attention to Xue Wang Fu. Who knew Princess Xue would make such a scene.

Fu Bao was still just a child. Yan Guogong Fu had raised her as a legitimate young lady in the first place. Suddenly reversing their decision, she was too young to understand. The Lady of Yan Guogong felt this matter needed discussion.

"Let's go back." The Lady of Yan Guogong entered the manor.

Fu Bao followed: "Does Uncle He's collection include heavenly treasures and earthly gems?"

"No." The Lady of Yan Guogong was distracted.

"There used to be." Fu Bao wanted them.

That was before; things were different now! The Lady of Yan Guogong planned to discuss Fu Bao's situation with Yan Guogong. She sent someone to keep Fu Bao company. Regarding Fu Bao, the Lady of Yan Guogong felt complex emotions.

He Yan had a fate of being a wife-killer and childless. If he wished to raise a child under his roof, the entire Yan Guogong Fu would have no objection. Fu Bao was Qin He's child, yet He Yan raised her as a legitimate young lady of Yan Guogong Fu, and Yan Guogong had tacitly approved.

The Lady of Yan Guogong had also poured affection into Fu Bao; people are not grass or trees. However, now that He Yan had his own biological child, Fu Bao's status became awkward. The He family's stance was clear: they would no longer raise Fu Bao.

Initially, the Lady of Yan Guogong felt some guilt. Now that Princess Xue had made such a scene, the Lady of Yan Guogong was angered. Taking advantage without limit; Qin He and Fu Bao had taken no small amount from Yan Guogong Fu over the years, and most of it had been cultivation resources.

If these items were kept for Rong Juan, they would be of great benefit to cultivation.

Let them be given; the Lady of Yan Guogong was not the type to settle scores later. But the premise was that Fu Bao must not hinder Rong Juan, nor obstruct Rong Chi. The two little Little Tuanzi both disliked Fu Bao. Thus, Fu Bao could not even be given the status of an ordinary young lady of Yan Guogong Fu.

"I want to eat spiritual fruits." Fu Bao still acted as if she were not an outsider, just as before.

In her heart, she was the legitimate young lady of Yan Guogong Fu; whatever she wanted must be given to her.

"There are no spiritual fruits for you." The Lady of Yan Guogong walked toward the living room.

Fu Bao's eyes turned red. She should have been given them. Why were the spiritual fruits collected by Uncle He not given to her, but instead given to the little Little Tuanzi Rong Chi? If Rong Juan was a child of the He family, Rong Chi certainly was not.

Rong Chi was the same as her. Fu Bao did not understand why the treatment was different.

Besides, these privileges had all belonged to her before.

No, she would not leave. She would take back everything that belonged to her.

Grandmother was right; Fu Bao realized this only now.

In the living room, the Lady of Yan Guogong explained the situation and sat down with a face as still as water.

"You kept Fu Bao?" Yan Guogong was surprised: "What is the plan here?"

"He Yan." The Lady of Yan Guogong said: "How do you see we should handle this?"

He Yan held the little milk Little Tuanzi. The child spun around and came back. He was not looking for He Zu, as He Zu liked to tease him. He Yan filled his small storage bag and tied it shut.

The little milk Little Tuanzi opened it. At this moment, he was curiously pawing at his treasures, which included food and crystals from the Demon Beast Realm.

"Let's ask Rong Juan first." He Yan placed great importance on Rong Juan's opinion.

The couple of Yan Guogong nodded. Rong Juan had gone to the fiefdom of Rong He Shizi; it was said he went there to farm.

Inside Xue Wang Fu, Qin He paced back and forth, very worried about Fu Bao. Compared to the legitimate son, Qin He liked Fu Bao even more.

Princess Xue had left Fu Bao at Yan Guogong Fu and did not bring her back. Xue Wang knew about this.

Xue Wang came to the Princess's courtyard and sat down. A maid served tea.

Xue Wang took a sip: "What is going on with you? Yan Guogong Fu clearly wants to return to a normal relationship with our Xue Wang Fu. Why did you leave Fu Bao there? Don't you know people will look down on us?"

"Heh." Princess Xue chuckled lightly: "Back then, with no children, they raised Fu Bao as the legitimate young lady of Yan Guogong Fu. Now that He He Shizi has a child, they want to take back all of Fu Bao's privileges. Where is such a good thing?"

Xue Wang narrowed his eyes: "The He family never formally adopted Fu Bao."

Without an adoption document, nothing counts.

Princess Xue took a deep breath: "A miscalculation. If I had known Rong Juan existed, I should have secured an adoption document."

Xue Wang disliked Princess Xue's scheming mind. He looked at her suspiciously: "What would it mean if our Xue Wang Fu's first-rank little Junzhu were adopted out? Do you know what you are saying? Yan Guogong Fu providing some cultivation resources is indeed good, but my Xue Wang Fu is not so desperate as to fawn over them. Tell me the truth: why are you so attached to Yan Guogong Fu?"

Princess Xue glanced at the maids and old women. The servants immediately withdrew.

"These years..." Princess Xue said: "The fortune of our Xue Wang Fu has been gradually strengthening. Haven't you noticed?"

Xue Wang's eyes narrowed. How could he not have noticed the change in Xue Wang Fu's fortune?

"You mean..." Xue Wang waited for Princess Xue to explain.

"You can consider it the blessing and fortune of Qin He." Princess Xue glanced at Xue Wang and continued: "But without the fortune and blessing of He He Shizi, does Qin He truly possess such great fortune and luck? Is it Qin He's fortune, or the fortune of Yan Guogong that has bolstered Xue Wang Fu's fortune? Who knows? Therefore, we must maintain regular contact with Yan Guogong Fu; we cannot cut off our exchanges."

Xue Wang lowered his head in thought, lifted the tea bowl, and drank: "Indeed. Fu Bao was originally the legitimate young lady of Yan Guogong Fu. Just because He He Shizi has his own child, they cannot stop raising Fu Bao."

Princess Xue smiled: "It should be so."

Unfortunately, Xue Wang and the Princess did not remain happy for long. The Lady of Yan Guogong sent Fu Bao back. The smile on Princess Xue's face almost failed to hold. When Qin He arrived at the living room, the Lady of Yan Guogong was just rising to take her leave.

Qin He looked around with her eyes; there were no gift boxes or anything else.

Qin He pulled Fu Bao and asked with a smile: "Fu Bao, where are the things Uncle He gave you?"

Fu Bao pouted: "He gave me nothing. He gave the spiritual fruits to Rong Chi to eat and wouldn't give any to me, saying there was no share for me."

"How can this be?" Qin He exclaimed. Realizing the Lady of Yan Guogong was present, she restrained her emotions and turned to ask the Lady of Yan Guogong: "Was the harvest small this time? Why were the cultivation resources Fu Bao was entitled to not distributed?"

The Lady of Yan Guogong looked Qin He up and down. She was dressed simply and elegantly, her dangling hairpin swaying, giving her the appearance of a talented lady.

Unfortunately, she could not see the situation clearly.

"Fu Bao's cultivation resources will be gone forever." The Lady of Yan Guogong glanced at Fu Bao, withdrew her gaze, and said to Qin He: "Your Xue Wang Fu must arrange the cultivation resources the child needs yourselves."
