Chapter 6: Pregnant

Qin Di and He Shi were stunned, and Qin Tang's hand holding the teacup trembled.

"You say you'll marry Qin Bi?" He Shi was somewhat dazed.

Rong Juan, in his Heir's brocade robe, sat in the main seat without answering, but said: "Back then, I said that the legitimate wife I marry in the future must be from the Fourth Branch. No one dares to go for Qin Bi, so I will marry her."

Qin Di opened his mouth, and He Shi was also hesitant to speak.

Back then, the Fourth Branch of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor lost its legitimate eldest daughter, and the Heir of the Rong Prince, Rong Juan, did indeed agree to choose a wife from the Fourth Branch. At that time, the Fourth Branch only had two suitable women, Qin Bi and Qin Han, but both were concubine-born and couldn't match the noble Heir.

Moreover, the entire Marquis Manor knew that the Heir Rong Juan didn't like Qin Bi, bluntly saying this woman had too many ulterior motives.

Qin Bi wasn't considered. As for Qin Han? Rong Juan didn't have that intention.

Therefore, for so many years, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor had been thinking about it, pondering whether Rong Juan could choose one from the other branches. The entire Marquis Manor had pre-booked this noble son-in-law, but Rong Juan didn't have the slightest intention.

Now that the Fourth Branch wasn't doing well, Rong Juan actually proposed to marry Qin Bi?

No matter why Rong Juan proposed, Qin Di and He Shi couldn't refuse. Qin Tang was also somewhat pleasantly surprised and didn't dare to ask more, fearing that the Heir Rong Juan would change his mind.

Ever since the legitimate eldest daughter betrothed to Rong Juan died, the entire Qin Yan Marquis Manor had been waiting for Rong Juan to propose for so many years.

At noon, Qin Bi woke up and heard about this. She was stunned, even doubting if she had heard wrong. Then, her sister-in-law said it again, secretly sizing up Qin Bi, clicking her tongue in her heart—she couldn't tell, but this one was also destined to be the Heir's wife.

Qin Bi had damaged her spirit and was lazily leaning on the bed, pondering whether to make a scene again. She didn't have the idea of marrying the Heir. Compared to He Yan, Qin Bi was more afraid of this Heir Rong Juan.

Before she could think it through, the Heir Rong Juan came over.

Her sister-in-law retreated. Rong Juan sat at the desk by the bed. Qin Bi looked over; the man was tall, handsome, and noble, his every move carrying killing intent. He was definitely someone she couldn't afford to offend.

Qin Bi opened her mouth: "You should marry someone else. The Fourth Branch has no suitable girls. The other branches have them. I don't want to marry."

Rong Juan narrowed his eyes: "You think you have the qualification to say you don't want to marry?"

Qin Bi was just a concubine-born daughter, and her status was far behind. The Qin Yan Marquis Manor valued the marriage with the Rong Prince's Heir extremely highly. As long as Rong Juan spoke, the Qin Yan Marquis Manor wouldn't let Qin Bi have her way.

"You don't like the look of me." Qin Bi laughed angrily: "Why marry me?"

"It was agreed early on. Without your legitimate elder sister, I must choose a wife from the Fourth Branch." Rong Juan gave such an explanation and then stood up: "I will not marry a co-wife. I will marry you according to the three letters and six rites of the Great Yan Kingdom. You had better wait to marry with peace of mind. Don't use the same tactics on me that you used on He Yan. Don't even think about divorcing after marriage. With me, there is no such thing as divorce. Even if you die, you are Rong Juan's wife."

Rong Juan finished speaking and left Qin Bi's courtyard.

Qin Bi thought of all the methods for half a day, but they all failed.

The Qin Yan Marquis Manor had indulged her once, but wouldn't indulge her a second time. Back then, she had discussed marriage with He Yan and had gotten along, so there was some affection. Qin Bi dared to make a scene with He Yan, but didn't dare to provoke Rong Juan.

Qin Bi lay down and closed her eyes. Forget it, her lifespan was damaged, and her spirit was exhausted; she couldn't afford to consume it.

That day, the entire Qin Yan Marquis Manor knew about this. Each branch had different thoughts, and they were all incredibly surprised. Qin He wanted to ask Rong Juan several times, but was stopped by the Second Branch.

With Qin He's status, could you ask? Just wait to marry with peace of mind.

He Yan went to a space to look for spiritual plants for cultivation. Rong Juan acted swiftly and decisively. Next, the three letters and six rites began, and every betrothal gift was thoughtful. The Rong Prince's Manor even sent ten gorgeous spiritual birds.

The younger generation of each branch thought about it and gave a gift, as did Qin He's side.

The three letters and six rites were completed, and the day of the wedding arrived. Qin Tang carried Qin Bi out of the house.

It was bustling for a day. At night, Qin Bi leaned on the bed, feeling somewhat panicked. Rong Juan returned to the bedroom. The man went to the washroom to freshen up, came back, lifted the quilt, got into bed, and said to her: "Sleep."

Qin Bi thought for a while, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

The next morning, Rong Juan ate breakfast and went to court. He didn't restrict Qin Bi, and Qin Bi was happy to be free. The Rong Prince only had a co-wife and concubines, so Qin Bi didn't need to pay respects.

She pulled the quilt and went to sleep. Qin Bi had damaged her spirit, and it was difficult to recover.

Two days later, He Yan returned. Hearing that Qin Bi had married Rong Juan, he didn't say anything. What could He Yan say? He Yan's fate of bringing misfortune to wives had no effect on Qin Bi, and Rong Juan brought misfortune to wives and had no children. If he didn't seek children, marrying Qin Bi to live a life was fine.

He Yan returned and went to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor to discuss marrying a co-wife and sending betrothal gifts.

In the afternoon, Qin He suddenly felt the world spinning and vomited a mouthful of blood. The people in the Marquis Manor were all terrified. He Yan's face changed, and the Second Branch was also shocked. Everyone understood that this was the fate of bringing misfortune to wives.

Qin He was scared. He Yan was silent for a moment and left with the betrothal gifts.

Qin Bi didn't go to her maiden family and didn't know what happened. Anyway, later Qin He became betrothed to the Heir Xue. He Yan was also broad-minded and personally arranged it. Soon, Qin He married the Heir Xue.

Her sister-in-law came to see Qin Bi and said: "He He Shizi He sent Qin He a very generous dowry."

Her sister-in-law was envious. Qin Bi wasn't envious and had no appetite, unable to eat.

She vomited after eating, feeling incredibly nauseous.

Rong Juan sent the Prince's Manor physician to take Qin Bi's pulse. The physician was stunned, and Rong Juan narrowed his eyes. The Prince's Manor physician didn't dare to speak casually. After checking the pulse repeatedly, he said: "He He Shizi's wife has a pulse of joy."

Rong Juan was silent, and the Prince's Manor physician was so scared he didn't dare to make a sound. The Rong Prince's Heir brought misfortune to wives and had no children, and this Heir's wife had also been prophesied to have no children. Both of them had no fate with offspring.

Qin Bi looked at this Prince's Manor physician more. She was destined to have no offspring, so where did this pulse of joy come from?

Rong Juan didn't make a sound. After a while, he sent someone to the palace to invite a first-rank imperial physician to check Qin Bi's pulse. The imperial physician put his hand on the pulse and was stunned, checking it repeatedly.

Who didn't know about this Heir? He brought misfortune to wives and had no children. The imperial physician said excitedly: "Heir, the Heir's wife has a pulse of joy."

Rong Juan was stunned for a moment. The imperial physician then instructed: "He He Shizi's wife has severely damaged her spirit, and her lifespan is damaged. It will take a lot of effort to nourish her."

The imperial physician instructed a lot and wanted to leave, but Rong Juan said: "Clean up the guest room and let the imperial physician stay in the Prince's Manor for a period of time."

The imperial physician had no choice but to stay. Qin Bi had been dazed for so long, but now she was energetic. She had something to ask Rong Juan. Rong Juan went straight to the storeroom and picked out precious tonics to nourish Qin Bi's body.

When Rong Juan returned, Qin Bi asked cautiously: "Whose child is it?"

Rong Juan said: "Mine."

Qin Bi was suspicious. This was a world similar to cultivation, and she didn't understand matters of children. However, Qin Bi didn't want to eat medicinal herbs and tonics. Rong Juan and Qin He operated shops together, and Qin Bi didn't want to use things related to Qin He.

Rong Juan simply opened the Rong Prince's storeroom and moved various precious medicinal herbs to nourish Qin Bi's fetus.

A few days later, Qin He was also pregnant. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
