When everyone returned to Rong the Heir's residence in the fief, a dining table was set up in the side hall. Qin Bi and Jiang Shi sat at one table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Qin Bi's first visit; she stood at the door and glanced at the Heir's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao directed the servants to place charcoal basins and burn the finest charcoal. Lin Yao considered many things; he went over and asked Qin Bi, \"Consort of the Heir, shall we use pear-wood charcoal? It has a light fragrance, but the wood scent is not strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Bi did not care and nodded, \"That is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao went to make arrangements. Dishes were brought to the table one after another. Rong Juan spoke with his uncles. The children asked how much land Qin Lang had reclaimed. Hearing it was only half an acre, the children were proud, for their mothers had reclaimed ten acres for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran directed the servants to arrange things, putting on an air of great importance: \"Can you even work? The charcoal is already smoking. Those who stay in the inner quarters are useless; they cannot even handle such a small matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were grating. Qin Tang and the others looked over. Qin Xun narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xu and Rong Yan exchanged a glance. Rong Yan shook his head, signaling not to take it seriously. The Consort of the Heir has a son to back her up; this woman cannot cause any real trouble. She is merely making a fuss over nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xu did not think so. Rong the Heir was previously known for having a wife who died and no children. Now that he has a wife and a son, the curse of a dead wife and no children no longer matters. If the Heir wishes to expand his lineage, taking a concubine is an easy matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This female guard is so arrogant; she must have some confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao noticed everyone's expressions, walked over, and his gaze darkened: \"Jiao Ran, I have arranged things here. You may leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran glanced at Lin Yao's expression, realizing this was a hint directed at her, so she fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guard Yan glanced at Qin Bi. Qin Bi looked out the door with no expression. Since the Consort of the Heir had been married to the Heir for only a short time, the guards were unsure of Qin Bi's temperament and assumed she simply chose not to argue with Jiao Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Shi was angry but suppressed her temper, deciding to deal with it upon returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the dishes were placed on the table, Lin Yao went to invite Qin Bi: \"Consort of the Heir, you may come to the table to dine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eldest Sister-in-law, let us go eat,\" Qin Bi said to Jiang Shi with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Bi smiling, Jiang Shi helplessly shook her head. This younger half-sister has no scheming mind; she failed to notice this. That female guard is not simple; she is trying to usurp the host's role at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Bi held Rong Juan and sat down, asking Jiang Shi to sit beside her, along with Qin Lang, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun. Lin Yao was also at this table. Jiang Xu, Rong Yan, and Guard Yan sat at another table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran, feeling entitled, approached the main table, found a seat, and prepared to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you not know the rules?\" Lin Yao said. \"Go to the other table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not,\" Jiao Ran pouted and sat down. \"I am dining at this table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao looked at Qin Bi. Qin Bi spoke: \"You are not qualified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How am I not qualified?\" Jiao Ran shouted loudly. \"I am a female general who has fought on the battlefield. I have never cared about such rules. I do not care about your inner-quarter ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran acted very carefree, making the women of the inner quarters appear petty by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tang's face showed anger. Qin Bi glanced at him. Rong Juan, with his small head peeking out, was scooped a spoonful of soup by Qin Bi. Qin Bi did not even lift her eyelids: \"If you do not care, that is your business. Do you believe I will have someone throw you out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao quickly tried to smooth things over: \"Consort of the Heir, Jiao Ran has always been at the border. She lacks some manners. Please do not hold it against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had fought and risked their lives together at the border. Lin Yao would not stand idly by. Guard Yan and the others, hearing the commotion at this table, looked over with the same sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On what grounds do you expel me?\" Jiao Ran said angrily. \"You are just afraid I will compete with you for the Heir. It is useless for you to be unable to tolerate me. What can you compare yourself to? I can block a blade for the Heir, or I can ride a thousand li with injuries to bring reinforcements for the Heir. You, a woman of the inner quarters, what else do you have besides playing schemes? What have you done for the Heir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Shi heard this and thought it was bad; this woman seemed to have done much for the Heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others also had varied expressions. Women of the inner quarters were still inferior to women like this from the border. At the very least, Jiao Ran's bond with the Heir from their time at the border was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have not done anything for the Heir,\" Qin Bi said with amusement, then suddenly smiled. \"Before the Heir and I were married, we had no relationship. Why should I make sacrifices for the Heir? Just like you, an unmarried woman, constantly running after a man? Let me tell you, our Marquis's residence has no such rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran smiled triumphantly: \"Let me tell you, the Heir will take me as a concubine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tang, Jiang Shi, and the others felt their hearts sink. Could it be that Rong the Heir had agreed to this woman's request to take her as a concubine?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Bi handed Rong Juan to Qin Lang, who looked furious on the side. The maidservants took away several dishes the children liked that had not been touched. Qin Bi said to Qin Lang: \"You accompany Rong Juan to eat inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Lang took Rong Juan and left. Lin Yao's eyelid twitched. He was about to open his mouth to scold, but Qin Bi glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yao closed his mouth. Qin Bi's status was given by Rong Juan. Rong the Heir valued Qin Bi, the Consort of the Heir, very much. Lin Yao and these subordinates naturally had to obey Qin Bi, even if they had some bond with Jiao Ran from the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A concubine, how impressive,\" Qin Bi mocked. \"Before the Heir was married, where were you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is because the Heir brings death to his wives,\" Jiao Ran became even more arrogant. \"It was for my own good; he feared he would bring death to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more complex. He the Heir had previously married Qin Bi to pave the way for Qin He. Now Jiao Ran appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that Rong the Heir married Qin Bi also to pave the way for someone else?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Shi looked at Qin Bi with worry. Qin Bi knew what was happening and did not take this woman seriously. A man who had been reborn as an Emperor had seen all kinds of women. The one before her was simply too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Jiao Ran successfully made Qin Bi angry: \"You are overthinking it. Rong Juan will not take a concubine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the one overthinking,\" Jiao Ran said excitedly, emotion appearing on her pretty face. \"I am different to the Heir. I have saved the Heir's life. He will definitely take me into the household.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tang and Qin Xun turned pale. Even Jiang Shi felt uneasy; this bond was indeed different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xu did not know whether to leave or stay. Rong Yan was even more anxious. How had a simple meal turned into such a scene? The Consort of the Heir is pregnant; if her pregnancy is disturbed, it will not be good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Bi showed no change in emotion. She looked at Lin Yao, Guard Yan, and the others: \"She saved the Heir's life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guard Yan hesitated. Lin Yao knew he could not hide it: \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saved the Heir's life, so he must marry you?\" Qin Bi laughed, but the smile did not reach her eyes. \"Is it because you are a woman? Since you went to the border, you should treat everyone equally. You cannot look down on others just because you are a woman. On the battlefield, blocking a blade for the Heir is what should be done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Ran was confused, not knowing what Qin Bi was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only you have blocked a blade for the Heir?\" Qin Bi looked at Lin Yao. \"Mr. Lin, what about you? Have you not saved the Heir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1578,"2026-06-11T21:11:30.465Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","500977ebdf0d216149397be72881cc30cf970b13fcee2fc9aa5eef7dc498dc84","transmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-chapter-73","transmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-chapter-71",596,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigrated-to-a-wife-prosperous-husband-noble-cover.jpg"]
