The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child

Cui ignored it and went with Qin He.

Qin He and her younger sister went to the main house's courtyard. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was just sick, not dead, yet they treated her so disregarded. Qin He was furious.

Who can Qin He turn to? If not Lady Qin Yanhou, then the Crown Prince Qin.

This is a minor matter that doesn't require the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to intervene. The Marquis's wife and the Qin heir could handle it themselves. Not sharing the spiritual vegetables with Qin He is no small matter for her, but Qin He knows she can't go to her uncle, the Qin Yan Marquis.

"Qin He." The young master's wife, accompanied by her maids and servants, encountered Qin He in the courtyard: "Did you come to see me?"

At the Marquis's residence, Qin He and the Crown Prince's wife had a good relationship.

When Qin He came to the main house, the Crown Prince's wife thought she was there to see her. The two had opened a shop together and became even closer. Now that Qin He was also the Crown Prince's wife of the Xue Prince's Mansion, her status had risen, so the Crown Prince's wife naturally got along even better with Qin He.

Qin He took a deep breath: "I'm going to find my aunt."

The Crown Prince's wife scrutinized Qin He's expression: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Qin He suppressed her anger: "I want to ask about the spirit-dividing vegetables from the Marquis's residence."

The Crown Prince's wife understood perfectly well that the second branch of the family hadn't received any of the spiritual vegetables. She knew this and had even reminded the Crown Prince about it, but Qin Yan still hadn't shared any with the second branch or Qin He.

See, Qin He is dissatisfied. The Crown Prince's wife pondered for a moment, then went into the main hall with Qin He.

Lady Qin Yanhou instructed the nanny beside her that winter had arrived but snow had not yet fallen, and the charcoal and other necessities for the winter in the Marquis's mansion needed to be distributed. As the Marquis's wife, she had to make sure everything was arranged properly.

Qin He and the Crown Prince's wife came together. The Lady of Qin Yanhou was surprised and scolded, "Qin He, weren't you sick? Your aunts and I wanted to go to the Prince's mansion to see you, but we haven't gone yet. Are you feeling better yet? It's only the beginning of winter and people can't stand the cold. Quickly brew a pot of hot tea and warm your hands."

The maid went to brew fresh tea.

Qin He kept a straight face, unable to force a smile: "Aunt, where is my eldest cousin? I came to ask about the distribution of spirit vegetables. Each branch of the family received spirit vegetables, so why was the second branch excluded?"

Qin He was asking both for the second wife and for herself: why wasn't she entitled to her share of the spiritual vegetables?
Is it because she lacks status, or because she lacks face?
Although Qin He was a concubine's daughter, she had earned a lot of money for the Marquis's mansion, and could be said to have made great contributions. It was fine that Qin Yan and the others didn't give her the spirit birds and ducks they caught, since none of them were distributed to her, and neither were the fifth branch of the Marquis's mansion.

But this time is different. Each household has its own spiritual vegetable. A single spiritual vegetable is still a spiritual vegetable. It's not about its value. Everyone has eaten spiritual vegetables before. Qin He doesn't care about them. The main problem is that the second household's spiritual vegetable is missing. It would be too embarrassing.

A maidservant brought tea, and Lady Qin Yanhou picked it up, saying, "This..."

“Mother.” The Crown Prince’s wife felt that this situation had been handled poorly, so she said, “Are there any spirit vegetables left? It doesn’t matter if you forgot. Since Qin He is here, we’ll give her the same amount now.”

"Who cares?" Qin He secretly curled her lip; what she wanted was an explanation.

Lady Qin Yanhou glanced at the Crown Prince's wife indifferently. The Crown Prince's wife lowered her head in thought. Had she said something wrong? No, Qin He wasn't an outsider. Just pretend I forgot to give Qin He a few spiritual vegetables.

Qin He is good at making money, and our relationship is getting closer and closer. There's no harm in being on good terms with Qin He!

"I didn't come here for the spirit vegetables." Qin He said righteously, "I am a disciple of the immortal sect, and the Xue Wang Mansion is not short of spirit vegetables. I just came to know why the second branch of the family is not given any. Every time I bring something back to the Marquis's Mansion, everyone gets a share. Why is it that when it comes to distributing spirit vegetables, our second branch is left out? It's so hurtful."

At this point, Qin He threatened, "If we do it this way, when I bring things back in the future, will I only share them with a few families I'm on good terms with, and not have to share with anyone else?"

"You've always done it this way!" said Lady Qin Yanhou. "Qin He, your eldest cousin is in the front yard. Go to the front yard and ask your eldest cousin to resolve this. I haven't really interfered much when it comes to dividing things before; it's always been you young people who divide them. Go ask your eldest cousin what's going on. There are many people in the front yard; all the households can get together and discuss it. What's rightfully yours will definitely be yours." Qin He stopped drinking her hot tea and got up to take her leave.

The Crown Prince's wife hesitated for a moment, then followed Qin He to the front yard.

"Madam," the nanny asked tentatively, "Won't the young master make things difficult for you?"

Lady Qin Yanhou held her teacup, used the lid to stir the tea leaves on the surface, blew on them gently, took a small sip, and said, "No rush, I'll go take a look in a bit."

This matter is complicated, and Lady Qin Yanhou plans to go to the front yard later.

Qin Yan and several brothers from the Marquis's mansion were in the front courtyard living room discussing going to the wilderness to reclaim wasteland. Qin Tang and Qin Bi and a few others had gone to reclaim wasteland and made considerable profits, which tempted everyone. Several young ladies from the Marquis's mansion were also eager to try.

Qin Bi can grow spiritual vegetables; they are all young ladies from a noble family, so how could they be any worse?

They had heard that the reason why the Rong Prince's fiefdom was so lush with spiritual vegetables and had such expansive farmland was because a cluster of good fortune from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion had arrived there. Just thinking about it made them excited. Perhaps, if they cleared the land and planted crops, they could also attract the good fortune of the Marquis's mansion.

The once-impoverished Qin Yan Marquis's mansion produced two heirs to princes' wives. As long as they were illegitimate daughters, who wouldn't have some designs on them? Perhaps, the illegitimate daughters of the Marquis's mansion had some great fortune, and Qin Bi and Qin He just happened to be lucky enough to be born into it.

If they are blessed with good fortune, perhaps they can marry into a higher social class.

The fact that two concubine-born daughters of the Marquis's family became heirs to the Prince's Mansion has greatly encouraged the other concubine-born daughters of the Marquis's family. Their morale has soared, and they are all secretly dreaming of becoming heirs to the Prince's Mansion.

The matriarch of a noble or aristocratic family is also acceptable.

Above that is the Empress.

Those who dare to dream of becoming empresses are the legitimate daughters. Even illegitimate daughters can become the crown prince's consort. No one has stipulated that this fortune belongs to the illegitimate daughters of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion. Perhaps, legitimate daughters also possess this fortune.

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed. They were all excited, though no one showed it on their faces.

When Qin He and her younger sister arrived, everyone looked over.

"Qin He." A close friend waved to Qin He: "When did you get here?"

Qin Jue asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

"I just came from my aunt's place." Qin He answered the sisters of the Marquis's mansion. She didn't need to pay attention to her elder brother's words; he looked so haggard and didn't seem to be getting better at all. Qin He said to Qin Yan, "Eldest cousin, I came to ask about the distribution of the spirit vegetables in the mansion. Each branch of the family received its share of spirit vegetables, so why didn't the second branch receive theirs?"

"Stupid question," Qin Yan looked at Qin He. "Is it really necessary to ask that?"

Qin Yan said, "Not everyone has spiritual vegetables."

Only a few with high cultivation levels received the spiritual vegetables. Those who went to the fiefdom to collect the spiritual vegetables received the most. Among the others, Old Qin Yanhou and Qin Yanhou received the most, while the fifth branch only received two chili peppers.

Many people didn't get any spirit vegetables, but Qin He came looking for them in a hurry.

"Shouldn't my father and elder brother have received some of the spirit vegetables?" Qin He questioned. "Shouldn't I have received some too?" (End of Chapter)
