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

He Shi meant that Qin He's actions were causing her family worry.

There was no need to worry, Mr. He said impatiently.

Lady Qin Yanhou did not intend to repair the painting for Qin He, since it was originally Qin He's work. She was ill, but it wasn't a real illness; she was just upset and her heart was filled with resentment, which made her sick.

It's not really an illness, but I just feel uncomfortable.

"Shall we go to Prince Xue's residence tomorrow?" Lady Qin Yan asked everyone for their opinion.

The Fifth Madam didn't care: "I'm fine."

Madam He said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry."

"We should go visit them." Lady Qin Yanhou coaxed Madam He, "We are all noble families, it would be bad if people talked about us. Besides, our in-laws might laugh at us for not caring about our children. Going there is just a formality."

The discord between the second and fourth branches of the family, and the fact that the fourth branch refused to go, was too obvious; the Marquis's mansion could not afford to have such a reputation.

Madam He sighed, "I didn't say I wouldn't go, but I felt it was unnecessary. They've been running around all day, and I don't see anything seriously wrong with them. There's no need to visit someone who's just having a minor illness."

To put it bluntly, I don't want to go; it would be disrespectful to Qin He.

The Crown Prince's wife hurriedly said, "Qin Hezhen is ill."

"I didn't see that coming." The treacherous official, Madam Lin, said, "He can run and jump, and I don't see any illness in him. But he has a bit of a temper. He needs to change. Now that he's married, he's not a child anymore. He still does things so impulsively."

Lin's argument was logical and well-founded, but no one else dared to refute it!

Before they could even coax her, the Crown Prince's wife, taking advantage of Qin He's absence, tentatively said to the fourth branch of the family, "Qin He is ignorant, we won't stoop to her level. Tomorrow we'll go to Prince Xue's residence."

Lin looked at He, and He asked, "What are you bringing?"

Lady Qin Yanhou gave a brief explanation, mentioning medicinal herbs and tonics. Madam He understood what was going on. Given their distant relationship, Qin He probably wouldn't care much for anything from the fourth branch of the family. Sending some meat or eggs would suffice.

The portion was only of average quality, so Lady Qin Yanhou couldn't say anything. It was already good enough that she accompanied Cui Shi on this trip. She couldn't ask He Shi to bring anything decent. If she didn't care about saving face and refused to go, there was nothing anyone could do.

After discussing it, everyone agreed that Qin He was causing trouble for her family and was always up to no good. The young master's wife and the others were all listening to her, so there was no way to ignore her. They had to coax Qin He to go to the Xue Prince's residence together and pretend that the whole family was harmonious.

The Fifth Madam asked Zhu, "What are you bringing?"

Third Madam Zhu laughed: "There's nothing good in my storeroom either."

Fifth Madam understood; this meant they weren't planning to send anything nice. It made sense, as the Third and Fourth branches of the family always stood together, but her branch was in a bit of a dilemma. If the gift was too generous, she would feel bad; if it was too light, Qin He would definitely be unhappy.

The fifth branch of the family was somewhat dependent on the second branch and Qin He. Qin He opened a shop and helped the fifth branch earn money together.

After Madam He left with the people from the four households, the Fifth Madam said to Madam Qin Yanhou, "Sister-in-law, how about I give Qin He a small chili pepper spirit vegetable? Qin Yan gave my family two small chili peppers."

Lady Qin Yanhou felt a lump in her throat: "Besides Little Chili Pepper, is there anything else in your household? Qin Yan gave this branch of the family to improve your cultivation, how can you just hand it over to Qin He?"

Fifth Madam realized her mistake and said, "I just thought it was something new. It's a spiritual vegetable, and it's a spiritual vegetable after all. Maybe Qin He will really like it. Let's just let this matter go."

"Either give both small chili peppers to Qin He, or don't give any at all," said Lady Qin Yanhou. "One is not presentable. Have you ever seen anyone visit someone's home and only bring one small chili pepper?"

The two little peppers were no good. The two fifth wives felt sorry for them. They were cultivation resources, and remembering how Qin He had taken good care of the fifth family in the past, they thought of Qin He whenever they had something good.

However, Lady Hou said that one was not presentable, and she would feel bad about having two, so she decided to give up on that idea.

The Crown Prince's wife and the Fifth Madam left together. The Fifth Madam returned to her own courtyard, while the Crown Prince's wife went to the Second Madam's courtyard to tell Madam Cui that she would be going to Prince Xue's residence with Madam Cui the next day.

Cui immediately made the arrangements, and Qin Jue's wife counted the gifts to be brought.

The next morning, Madam Jiang and Madam Lin went to pay their respects to Madam He.

Madam He summoned Qin Lang: "Go and fetch your sister Qin Bi." Qin Lang agreed and immediately went to the Rong Prince's residence.

Qin Lang was ready for breakfast, and Qin Bi invited him to eat with her. Qin Lang didn't stand on ceremony and took charge of feeding Rong Yang, while Rong Jun fed the baby. After Qin Bi finished eating, she took the little dumpling over to him.

They went to the side hall and put the child on the small couch.

"Awoo." Qin Bi was playing with the little dumpling, trying to scare him.

The little owl wasn't afraid at all, laughing merrily and swaying from side to side.

Qin Bi laughed and tugged at his little feet.

The little dumpling jumped up in one gulp: "Again!"

"Awooo!" Qin Bi opened her mouth wide: "I'll eat you."

The little dumpling laughed so hard she rolled around on the small couch.

After laughing enough, he got up and said, "Let's do it again."

Rong Jun looked at the little dumpling who was making a fuss with annoyance: "Are you done yet? I'll take you to the Duke of Yan's mansion in a bit. Hurry up and grab your little storage bag. Don't come back empty."

"Okay." The little dumpling got it right and said in a sweet, childish voice, "I'll come back with it full."

Qin Bi: "..."

Qin Lang: "..."

Qin Lang was taken aback and asked Qin Bi, "How big is the storage bag?"

Qin Bi gestured: "This big."

"Oh, oh." Qin Lang looked at it and saw that the basket was big, thankfully. He thought he was going to empty the entire Yan State Duke's mansion.

Rong Jun put little shoes on the baby, who was delighted and wiggled his little legs. Qin Bi watched as the young master Rong showed great patience. Rong Yang took his homework and prepared to go to his maternal grandparents' house with Qin Bi.

Qin Bi was a bad girl. Before leaving, she said to the little dumpling wearing shoes, "We're not playing with you anymore. We're going to your maternal grandparents' house. We're not taking you with us."

Should I cry or not?
The little dumpling was stunned, her eyes reddening as she looked at her father, her little mouth pouting, on the verge of tears, and complained, "Don't bring Rong Chi."

Rong Jun: "......"

“You’ve provoked him again,” Rong Jun said to Qin Bi. “If he cries in a bit, you’ll have to comfort him.”

“That’s right, sister.” Qin Lang didn’t side with Qin Bi: “How could you deliberately provoke Rong Chi? He just likes to join in the fun. You could have just left without saying anything, but you had to provoke him.”

Qin Bi called Rong Yang away in a good mood, which made the little dumpling shed a few tears. Fortunately, the young master Rong knew how to coax him, otherwise, there would have been a fuss. Qin Bi was just doing it on purpose.

Upon arriving at the Qin Yanhou residence, they went straight to the fourth branch of the household.

Third Madam Zhu was also there, observing what gifts Madam He had prepared.

This trip to Prince Xue's residence was purely for the sake of the Marquis's prestige.

What could Madam He prepare? Ordinary families would bring some meat and eggs, while wealthy families would bring medicinal herbs and tonics, or rare fruits and vegetables. Madam He asked Madam Jiang to prepare some meat and eggs casually.

Does Qin Hezhen really know how to eat? No, it's just a matter of etiquette.

Once the property was given to the Xue Prince's Mansion, no one cared what happened to it. (End of Chapter)
