Chapter 602 Picking the Softest Persimmon
"Why get angry?" said Lady Qin Yanhou. "Have some tea."
Princess Xue: "I'm not in the mood."
"It's not surprising that someone gets beaten up when children fight." Lady Qin Yanhou didn't care about Princess Xue's attitude. If she wasn't in the mood, she wouldn't drink. Lady Qin Yanhou took a sip of tea herself: "Princess, there's really no need for you to come and question me about this."
The Xue family is a royal family, so why would Lady Qin Yanhou fear the Xue family? Ha, ever since the two powerful ministers' sons gained real power in the court, they have become close to the Qin Yanhou family. The Rong heir has even become engaged to the eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the family.
After the death of the eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the Qin family, the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion planned to choose another daughter of the Marquis's mansion to marry the Rong heir. However, the Rong heir never gave a definite answer and remained distant from then on.
This almost caused the mental state of the several heads of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to collapse.
Fortunately, He Shizi and Qin He were close, so the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion did not lose money, nor did its status decline. But let's not even go there. Qin He and He Shizi's engagement must have been a huge blow to each other.
Qin He was almost cursed to death by Prince He, so the marriage was off.
Later, the Duchess of Yan personally visited the fourth branch of the family to propose marriage, wanting to remarry Qin Bi from the fourth branch. Since the Duchess of Yan personally visited and showed great sincerity, Madam He agreed.
Thus, Marquis Qin Yan's position remained secure.
Since He Shizi got engaged to Qin Bi, whether it was because of Qin Bi or Qin He, he has taken great care of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, even though Qin Bi divorced him immediately after marriage.
Prince Rong proposed to Qin Bi, but Qin He married Prince Xue.
Lady Qin Yanhou was never afraid of any princess, yet she came in a huff to demand an explanation? Lady Qin Yanhou handled it with ease, and the Qin Yanhou mansion was no less powerful than the Xue Wang mansion.
"Children fighting and you come knocking on our door?" Lady Qin Yanhou said with disdain.
"How could it be unnecessary?" Princess Xue was furious when she saw that Lady Qin Yanhou was treating her with disdain. "Did our Princess Xue suffer for nothing?!"
"Is Fu Bao hurt?" the Crown Prince's wife asked.
She has a good relationship with Qin He, and Fu Bao is also a good child. The Crown Prince's wife, as his aunt, is quite worried. She does not approve of the two families having unpleasant conflicts over the children.
Princess Xue said coldly, "Your child from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion kicked our Fu Bao. I asked Fu Bao, and it's not Fu Bao's fault. Our Fu Bao is blessed with good fortune, and having someone cry over him is a loss of good fortune, so naturally Fu Bao is not happy."
Lady Qin Yanhou's expression froze. "That's right," she thought. "Why is the little dumpling Rong Chi crying out for Fu Bao? Fu Bao is only a few years old, too young to be raised properly. It's really not good for him to be crying out for her."
But if Hao Fubao isn't feeling well, is this all that can be done? She's the apple of Rong Shizi's eye; he can cry whoever he wants, and nobody cares! Lady Qin Yanhou wouldn't dare offend the Rong Prince's mansion.
"Qin Su is the same," said the Crown Prince's wife. "Fu Bao is still my sister, how could she be so rough? I have to tell Qin Tang about this child and give him a good talking to."
"No need to turn back." Princess Xue refused: "Summon Qin Tang's eldest son now to apologize to our First-Rank Princess Fu Bao. Out of consideration for our family ties, I will let bygones be bygones."
The Crown Prince's wife looked at the Lady of Qin Yanhou and apologized, which was perfectly reasonable.
Lady Qin Yanhou: "......"
Qin Bi, the wife of the Crown Prince Rong, is the illegitimate daughter of the fourth branch of the family. She is quite fond of her nephews and nieces. The Crown Prince Rong also intends for Qin Tang and Qin Xun's child to live with Rong Yang and Rong Chi.
Call Qin Su to apologize to Fu Bao? Dream on.
Lady Qin Yanhou said, "This fight is a matter between my grandsons. It started with Fu Bao and Rong Chi fighting, right? Go find whoever started it. Our Qin Yanhou mansion will not get involved. Go find Prince Rong."
The Crown Prince's wife: "..." Oh my goodness, mother-in-law, isn't this making things difficult for me?!
Princess Xue: "......"
The Crown Prince's wife glanced at Princess Xue, who was dumbfounded. She was picking on the weakest link. She had come to find Lady Qin Yan to compare the two sides, and Qin Su was easier to handle.
Are you looking for the young master Rongchi?
Princess Xue didn't want to, not at all, offend anyone but Prince Rong.
Fu Bao was beaten, and Princess Xue was furious. She never expected to go to the Rong King's mansion to demand an explanation. At this time, the Rong King and the Rong Heir were at the Ministry of Works' teleportation array. Why did Princess Xue bypass the Rong King and his son to go to the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion? She had made a comparison.
"It was Fu Bao made by Qin Su of your Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion." Princess Xue seized on this point.
"Qin Su was only standing up for Rong Chi. Qin Su didn't quarrel with Fu Bao." Lady Qin Yanhou wasn't stupid either. If the Xue Prince's Mansion had the ability, they should go find the Rong Prince. They had no use talking to her. She called over a guard: "Go and tell the Rong Prince that the young prince and Fu Bao fought. The Xue Princess wants an explanation and asks the Rong Prince to come over."
The guard obeyed and left. Princess Xue tried to stop him, but the guard had already quickly gone to the teleportation array.
Well, when the Crown Prince Rong was summoned, Princess Xue couldn't resist and sent someone to call Prince Xue and the Crown Prince. Before long, the Crown Prince Rong arrived at the teahouse with the little dumpling Rong Chi and Marquis Qin Yan.
Also present were Prince Xue and his heir, and the Duke of Yan, who was carrying Rong Yang and the young prince.
The young prince loves watching the excitement and doesn't want to cause trouble.
What is the purpose of the Duke of Yan? Alas, the Duke of Yan's mansion has given Qin He countless things. It didn't touch their family fortune, but it's still a considerable sum. Rong Yang is also the young heir of the Rong King's mansion, so we can't let the Rong King's mansion produce anything.
The Xue Prince's Mansion would never suffer a loss.
Prince Rong took a seat with the little baby munching on a spirit fruit in his arms, looking down at Prince Xue and his family with disdain.
Prince Rong said, "What? Does your Xue Prince's Mansion want to apologize?"
Upon seeing this situation, Prince Xue hurriedly said, "An apology is not necessary, but since Fu Bao was beaten, the fourth branch of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion must give an explanation. My Prince Xue's first-rank princess has never been beaten since she was a child."
Prince Xue insisted on seeking an explanation from the fourth branch of the family, deliberately avoiding the Rong Prince's residence.
Prince Rong scoffed: "Just come to me. I'm Qin Su's uncle. If you need anything, come to me."
King Xue: "..."
There's no way to avoid it now!
Prince Xue was taken aback. In his memory, Prince Rong did not like Qin Bi and had even made things difficult for her in the past. The reason he married Qin Bi was because the prince's fate of being unable to have children or marry a wife was not a problem for Qin Bi.
However, right now, even his wife and nephew are being protected by the Crown Prince.
This was something Prince Xue hadn't expected, and he was at a loss for what to do.
Lady Qin Yanhou took a sip of tea, turned her head, and couldn't suppress a smile. "See? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You wanted to come and interrogate me? And now you're demanding an apology? Well, then, you'd better explain yourself."
Marquis Qin Yan and his wife exchanged a glance. The Crown Prince Rong alone was worth a thousand troops. Let them watch the show from the sidelines; it had nothing to do with them. It was good to have the Crown Prince of a powerful minister protecting them.
It must be said that Qin Yanhou and his wife were somewhat pleased. The reason was that while the Crown Prince Rong had previously treated the fourth branch of Qin Di's family coldly, he had been relatively kind to the other branches, but this kindness only extended to a few.
This kind of protectiveness is much more comfortable. (End of Chapter)
