Chapter 83: A Little Money-Grubber

The wealth of the Yan Guogong Manor and the accumulation of its hereditary title—who wouldn't be tempted?

The Yan Guogong Manor also occupied a share of blessing value and luck value. The Xue Wang Fei was in a very good mood while drinking tea. If a child of the Xue family obtained this title, that would be a sky-high fortune.

In the past, the Rong Wang Manor and the Yan Guogong Manor had the same foundation, but ever since the Heir Apparent Rong married the daughter of a concubine from the Marquis Qin Yan Manor, the Rong Wang Manor had used up quite a lot of its foundation to nourish Qin Bi, whose lifespan had been damaged.

Of the two powerful ministers and heirs in the Great Yan Kingdom, Heir Apparent He was now wealthier.

The Xue Wang Fei was thinking about these things when Qin Bi happened to be thinking about He Yan giving a high-grade spiritual plant to Qin He. Was she surprised? No. Qin Bi just felt a little less of a knot in her heart regarding Rong Juan.

The two powerful ministers and heirs had never liked her, and Qin Bi wasn't a very magnanimous person. It was impossible for her not to mind at all. After marrying Rong Juan, a petty person like her kept it in her heart.

When Rong Juan married her back then, most of the knot in her heart was gone. Now, seeing He Yan's heart tied to Qin He, almost responding to every request of Qin He, Qin Bi was moved by Rong Juan. If Rong Juan hadn't married her, and she had already conceived Rong Yang...

Just thinking about it, she knew the result would be He Yan taking her back.

*Damn it*, with Qin He there, she would have been angered to death.

Qin Bi was sulking, and Rong Yang was also angry with his little face taut. Qin Bi saw the child return from court and not go to the fief to collect vegetables, so she probably guessed the reason. Rong Juan was in a black brocade robe with a cold expression.

*It's ruined*, Qin Bi sighed.

She thought that by saving up good farmland for Rong Yang bit by bit, the child wouldn't be thinking about the things in the Yan Guogong Manor anymore. Now it seemed Rong Juan was angry at He Yan for Rong Yang's sake, and Rong Yang hadn't let go either.

"Go collect the vegetables!" Qin Bi urged Rong Yang.

Rong Yang said, "The Yan Guogong Manor is about to be emptied."

So, why collect any more vegetables?

"Although Heir Apparent He is the Heir Apparent of the Yan Guogong Manor......" Qin Bi tried to weigh her tone, "but he didn't say he would give the things in the Yan Guogong Manor to you, did he?"

The child Rong Yang looked up, "But he doesn't know about me!"

Qin Bi glanced at the child, sat down, and said, "Are you going to acknowledge him?"

Rong Yang looked at Rong Juan, and Rong Juan said, "As you wish."

"I'll go one more time." Rong Yang was a little money-grubber.

Qin Bi felt it wasn't quite "as she wished." Raised by Rong Juan, he was a bit like Rong Juan. She hadn't felt it before, but ever since Rong Juan planned to save up a small treasury for his son, Rong Juan could be said to be the stingiest master.

The advisors were all living frugally. Of course, this had to do with Rong Juan using the manor's heavenly treasures to nourish her body when she was pregnant with Rong Yang. The heavenly treasures accumulated by the hereditary Rong Wang Manor had all been used by her.

This child Rong Yang must be Rong Juan's; otherwise, there would be no justice.

Rong Juan and Rong Yang discussed how to go to the Yan Guogong Manor together, and they never hid it from Qin Bi. Qin Bi could also see that Rong Yang was just heartbroken that the things in the Yan Guogong Manor were being moved away by Qin He's child, not that he wanted to return to the Yan Guogong Manor.

If Rong Juan said he didn't want Rong Yang at this time, the child would cry himself to death.

Qin Bi sat in front of the charcoal stove, Rong Juan sat in front of the table, and the child said on the other side, "I'll go tell them I'm their family's child. I won't acknowledge them, but I have to keep an eye on the things in the manor and not give them to that Fubao."

Rong Juan drank tea, "That's fine, too."

The child tilted his head, testing Rong Juan, "I still have to come back to live."

Rong Juan saw the child's unease and chuckled, "If you don't come back, where would you go? Even if you acknowledge He Yan, you are still my, Rong Juan's, son. I'll go with you and wait for you outside the Yan Guogong Manor."

This worked, and Rong Yang went over to let Rong Juan hold him.

Qin Bi said huffily, "I'm not going."

Rong Yang said, "I'll go with Father."

The child rubbed his hands, not believing he couldn't keep an eye on the things in the Yan Guogong Manor.

Before Rong Yang could put his plan into action, the Great Yan Emperor found out and summoned Rong Juan and Rong Yang to the palace. Rong Juan held Rong Yang and stepped into the Imperial Study; the Great Yan Emperor was already waiting.

"Are you going to play the little pitiful one again?" the Great Yan Emperor asked.

Rong Juan didn't speak, and Rong Yang said, "I'm going to tell them I'm their family's child."

The Great Yan Emperor was worried about this and asked Rong Juan, "Do you want Rong Yang to return to the Yan Guogong Manor?"

Rong Juan sneered, "What are you thinking?"

Rong Yang could only be his child. It was fine for Rong Yang to acknowledge He Yan, but returning to the Yan Guogong Manor was not allowed. The Great Yan Emperor was so angry! *This is bullying people! You aren't giving the Yan Guogong Manor to them either. *

Rong Yang said from the side, "I'm not going back."

Whoever raises the child, the child follows. The calculations of this big and small pair angered the Great Yan Emperor, "If the child isn't being given to the Yan Guogong Manor, why are you going to provoke them?"

Rong Juan looked at the Great Yan Emperor inquiringly. The Great Yan Emperor sighed, "I might as well tell you straight. My blessing value is high, and my luck value is also high. Every time I hear that Rong Yang is going to acknowledge He Yan, I always have a feeling that the luck is unstable."

Rong Juan was startled and lowered his eyes to ponder.

"How about we put this matter aside for now?" The Great Yan Emperor was also conflicted. "Normally, it shouldn't be, but you and He Yan are my important ministers, and family matters are not small matters. Even the mystic arts masters don't know the reason for the unstable luck. Let's just leave it like this for now."

Since it concerned the luck of the Great Yan Kingdom, Rong Juan had no choice but to give up.

The child Rong Yang was listening from the side and asked, raising his little head, "Are we not acknowledging them? What about my things? They're all going to be emptied by Fubao."

If the Yan Guogong Manor was emptied, Rong Yang wouldn't be interested anymore.

The Great Yan Emperor leaned over to coax him, "Whatever you want, Imperial Uncle will give it to you."

Rong Yang wilted. What was there in the Imperial Palace? Even eating spiritual vegetables, he didn't have as many as Fubao.

However, the child had been attending court since he was small and knew the importance of luck value to Great Yan. Rong Yang didn't mention acknowledging He Yan anymore.

The Great Yan Emperor felt bad and said to Rong Juan, "I won't stop Rong Yang from getting close to He Yan. If Rong Yang wants to go to the Yan Guogong Manor, let him go. If the He family can't see that Rong Yang is their family's child, then it can't be blamed on anyone else."

The Great Yan Emperor felt that this arrangement made him feel a little more relaxed, and he wasn't feeling stifled anymore.

Rong Juan glanced at the Great Yan Emperor; he didn't think this idea was that good.

Rong Yang was open-minded and said, "Then I'll go hang around in front of that father often in the future."

Rong Juan stood up to leave the palace and picked up Rong Yang.

The Great Yan Emperor didn't know what came over him, but he urged, "Protect Qin Bi's pregnancy well. This child was hard to come by. Your killing intent is heavy, don't scare it away."

Rong Juan was startled, and his heart felt unsettled.

Regardless of whether the Great Yan Emperor was willing or not, he called Rong Yang and dragged the Great Yan Emperor to the Rong Wang Manor. This person was the human emperor, the supreme ruler, with a full-level blessing value.

The Imperial Princes were surprised and ran over.

Rong Juan saw the little ones coming and picked out one with high blessing value, "Little Imperial Prince, come along too. I'll treat you to spiritual vegetables."

The little Imperial Prince kicked his legs, and Rong Yang helped Rong Juan hold the little Imperial Prince. When the little Imperial Prince heard about eating spiritual vegetables, he asked, "What?"

Rong Yang mimicked, "Eat spiritual vegetables."

"I'll go, I'll go." The little Imperial Prince was a little foodie.

The Great Yan Emperor regretted it so much; if he had known, he wouldn't have reminded Rong Juan.

*Fine*, let's go to the Rong Wang Manor.
