Chapter 434: Fubao is Like a Pet to Everyone
Asking Heir He to show less affection to Rong Yang and divide his attention to Fubao and her younger brother—Heir Xue wasn't brain-damaged. On one hand, he felt that Fubao was also a legitimate young lady of the Yan Guogong Manor, so mentioning it was nothing.
Heir Xue sat there, looking at Fubao, who wasn't as lively as usual. Since she was young, when had the child ever suffered such cold treatment? Every time Fubao came to the Marquis Manor, to her maternal grandfather's house, wasn't she the star of the show?
This time, because of Heir He's regard for Rong Yang and Rong Chi, everyone had neglected Fubao. Heir Xue felt heartache, thinking that Fubao shouldn't be given such a large gap. If the Yan Guogong Manor wasn't raising her, they should take it slow.
However, Heir He was a wife-killer and childless; with this fate, it was hard for him to have a child.
A biological one, held in the palm of his hand with extreme caution.
Heir Xue didn't have the thick skin to demand this or that. Even if Heir He was his good friend, he could still refuse to give him face. Rong Yang's importance was beyond doubt; Fubao and her brother could only share a little of Heir He's attention, but they couldn't compete.
Right now, it was better to have Fubao and her brother build a good relationship with Rong Yang.
Qin Lang peeled a sweet potato for Rong Yang. Rong Yang took a small bite, and Qin Lang asked: "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious." Rong Yang was very giving of face.
Qin Lang beamed with joy, very fond of this nephew.
Heir He held the little milk bun, and the child took a bite of the roasted fruit. Heir He was very patient, wiping his mouth. Fubao looked over here from time to time, and everyone was lively.
Heir Xue called out: "Fubao, come over and eat roasted melon seeds."
Fubao heard the call and ran over. Her father was also an heir, a Prince's heir. Fubao proudly hummed at Rong Yang. Heir Xue couldn't scold her either—why couldn't she just get along well with Rong Yang?
He He Shizi's wife pointed to a few roasted melons and fruits that looked better and ordered the maid: "Take them to the living room. Heir He and Heir Xue both brought children; put a plate of roasted melons and fruits for each."
When the maternal family treats their nephews, it's not good to favor one over the other.
Several young ladies of the Marquis Manor helped the Heir's wife entertain guests. Qin Yuan glanced at the living room and couldn't help but say: "Heir He is truly heartless. He should have asked Qin He Jiejie to come together. With Qin He Jiejie here, let's see if Heir He would still treat Fubao and her brother so poorly."
He He Shizi's wife also couldn't figure out what Heir He was thinking. Heir He had such deep feelings for Qin He; they wouldn't just disappear because he had a biological child. If Heir He still had feelings for Qin He, he shouldn't ignore Fubao and her brother's feelings.
In the past, Fubao was like a pet to everyone; now, Heir He's heart was entirely on his own children.
"Heir Xue is there," the Heir's wife said. "Heir He can't take care of everything; he still has to take care of Rong Chi."
Rong Chi was the youngest, so naturally, he received a lot of favoritism.
Heir Xue taking care of Fubao a bit was the same; Fubao was Heir Xue's child after all.
"Heir He can take care of Rong Chi," Qin Yuan said. "Why can't he divide some attention to Fubao? Fubao is so pitiful; it's like she has no one to care for her all of a sudden."
She was even picking faults, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
He He Shizi's wife stopped talking. So many things? The whole Marquis Manor family was there; could Fubao be short of food or drink? Qin Yuan was even feeling aggrieved for Fubao. Fubao going to compete with Rong Yang was very unreasonable.
"Qin He Jiejie should have been asked to come," Qin Yuan said with great regret, chattering: "If Qin He Jiejie were here, she wouldn't let Fubao suffer even the slightest grievance. As long as Qin He Jiejie is unhappy, Heir He will treat Fubao well."
Perhaps, the Heir's wife also knew that Heir He was very biased toward Qin He.
"How is Qin He's health?" Lady Qin Xiang asked with concern.
"Her complexion is not good," Qin Yuan pouted. "It's all because she was angered."
He He Shizi's wife and the others could understand why Qin He was angry. In the past, whenever Heir He obtained good things from the Beast Realm small space, he gave most of them to Qin He. This time, he didn't give any and gave them all to Rong Yang and Rong Chi.
It was the first time Qin He hadn't received the things Heir He collected; she must have found it hard to accept. It would be strange if she weren't angry.
"You should chatter less with Qin He." Lady Qin Xiang clearly knew what Qin Yuan and Qin Yan had learned from Qin He when they went to the Xue Wang Fu, and she pointed out: "You sisters have a good relationship. If you are worried about Qin He, you can visit often, but don't say things that shouldn't be said. Qin He has a big temper. Since you know she is sick from anger, you still run over to say things she doesn't like to hear. If she stays angry like this, how can she recover?"
Qin Yan lowered her head. Qin Yuan also knew that her eldest sister-in-law was doing it for their own good, so she listened obediently without refuting.
However, Qin Yuan was still unconvinced: "Can you blame me for repeating what I heard? I don't want to tell Qin He Jiejie and make her angry either, but Heir He gave the shop dividends to Rong Yang and Rong Chi; that is failing Qin He Jiejie."
Lady Qin Xiang hit Qin Yuan and immediately peeked toward the living room.
Qin Yuan shut her mouth. He He Shizi's wife scolded her: "Heir Xue is still here; what are you talking nonsense about? How is there any failing anyone? Heir He only feels a bit of guilt toward Qin He because she waited for him for so many years without marrying, so he takes care of Qin He and her children everywhere. How is there any talk of failing anyone? We all know they are clean and innocent. What if Heir Xue overthinks it?"
Qin Yuan listened to the reprimand, but she was still unconvinced in the back, making up for herself: "Qin He Jiejie worked hard to open the shop; how could Heir He give the shop dividends to Rong Yang and Rong Chi? This is also failing Qin He Jiejie's hard work."
Bringing this up again, over and over without end, the Heir's wife had a headache: "Heir He wants to give it to whoever he wants; it's useless for you to be unconvinced."
Qin Yuan finally shut her mouth completely. Lady Qin Xiang glanced at her. It was fine that Qin He came while dragging her sick body today; since she didn't come, don't argue about anything. Heir He wouldn't give face to Heir Xue and Fubao.
The reason Heir He took care of the Xue Wang Fu was entirely because of Qin He; others didn't have that much face.
Some sisters who had a good relationship with Qin He felt aggrieved for her, feeling that Heir He had treated Qin He's children poorly today, and secretly hoped that next time Qin He came, she would snatch Heir He's heart back.
The young sisters of the Marquis Manor were not familiar with Qin Bi. After Qin Bi broke off her engagement, she left Jingcheng with the third branch and had been gone for several years, so everyone had no bond. Qin He could earn silver, so she was naturally very liked by the sisters.
Besides, Qin Bi's engagement was never settled in the past, and the sisters in the manor looked down on her somewhat.
After Heir He and Qin Bi got engaged, he was biased toward Qin He. The sisters of the Marquis Manor didn't feel it was wrong at all. Heir He and Qin He were originally a pair, childhood sweethearts; Qin Bi had destroyed their relationship as soon as she returned.
Heir He and Qin Bi getting engaged was not as good as picking a legitimate daughter from the Marquis Manor. Everyone had a chance to compete for the position of the influential official's Heir's wife. Qin He couldn't be the Heir's wife, but others could.
What a good opportunity for a high marriage; Qin Bi didn't even know how to cherish it.
The sisters with little thoughts couldn't help but feel unwilling.
Unwillingness led to ideas. Several girls deliberately went to the living room, swaying in front of Heir He, looking like they liked Rong Yang very much. ===== CHAPTER 435 =====
