After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Over the past few days, his grandmother and mother had repeatedly told him to behave well in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion today. Xia Tingyu's ears were already callused from hearing them so much. How could he forget?

But Xia Tingyu was still patient with his grandmother who always loved him. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I remember everything and I will complete the task you assigned me."

Old Madam Xia was very satisfied when she heard this and patted her grandson's hand with satisfaction.

Another candidate was named Liang Zhiyuan, whose father was Liang Zhaoan, a fourth-rank Censor-in-Chief.

Liang Zhaoan had many wives and concubines and many children, but he only had one legitimate daughter and no legitimate son.

As the eldest son of a concubine, Liang Zhiyuan not only has a good appearance, but also is a man of both civil and military talents with outstanding abilities, which makes him deeply loved by Liang Zhaoan.

The reason why Liang Zhaoan loves this son is not only because Liang Zhiyuan has outstanding abilities, but also because Liang Zhiyuan's mother is the love of his life and Liang Zhiyuan is her only child.

Liang Zhaoan and Liang Zhiyuan's mother Wang Xuejiao were childhood sweethearts. They often played together since they were young and gradually fell in love with each other as they grew up. The two families have always been close, so they arranged a marriage for the two.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuejiao's father was later demoted and the family fell into poverty, and even Liang Zhaoan's father, who was close to her, was implicated.

Mrs. Liang, Jiang Qiaozhen, has always liked Liang Zhaoan, so she took this opportunity to encourage her father to make conditions to the Liang family.

Mr. Jiang offered to help Liang Zhaoan's father keep his official position, but the condition was that Liang Zhaoan marry his daughter Jiang Qiaozhen, otherwise their family would have to move with the Wang family and be demoted to a bitter and cold place.

Although Liang Zhaoan did not want to let down his beloved, he finally compromised for the sake of his family.

However, he also put forward a condition to his father-in-law. He had an engagement with Wang Xuejiao, so even if she could not be his principal wife, he had to take her as a concubine.

Mr. Jiang was worried that if he pushed Liang Zhaoan too hard, Liang Zhaoan would treat his daughter badly in the future even if he married her, so he agreed to this condition.

Jiang Qiaozhen couldn't be happy when she learned that she was going to marry her lover together with Wang Xuejiao, because she knew very well how deep the relationship between Liang Zhaoan and Wang Xuejiao was, and it was not something she could interfere with.

At first she felt a little resentful about her father agreeing to this, but later she realized that she couldn't push Liang Zhaoan into a corner, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After all, he was the legal wife and Wang Xuejiao was just a concubine. He would always be superior to her and he had plenty of ways to torture her. Thinking of this, Jiang Qiaozhen felt a lot more comfortable.

Wang Xuejiao's parents were eventually banished to a cold and miserable place, but she was able to stay in the capital and became a concubine in the Liang Mansion.

Although Wang Xuejiao was very sad about this sudden change, at least she could be with her beloved, which was a blessing in disguise.

But she didn't expect that this was not the beginning of happiness, but the beginning of a nightmare.

Ever since Wang Xuejiao came into the family, she has never had a peaceful day.

Even though she was protected by Liang Zhaoan and her parents-in-law, Jiang Qiaozhen, as the mistress, had plenty of opportunities to embarrass and torture her.

Jiang Qiaozhen is a scheming person who is good at disguising herself. She is very good at pretending to be a good person in front of others, but when no one is around, she tortures Wang Xuejiao in every way.

Wang Xuejiao knew that the Liang family had made a lot of efforts for her to stay in the Liang Mansion. She didn't want to make things difficult for the Liang family, and she was also worried that the Jiang family would harm the Liang family and her parents, so she could only swallow her bitterness.

Later, Jiang Qiaozhen and Wang Xuejiao became pregnant one after another. Jiang Qiaozhen paid great attention to the baby in her belly and had no time to take care of Wang Xuejiao, which finally gave her a chance to breathe.

It was also because of this that Wang Xuejiao was able to give birth to Liang Zhiyuan smoothly and was not persecuted by Jiang Qiaozhen.

Jiang Qiaozhen gave birth to the child first, but it was a girl, which shattered her dream of giving birth to a legitimate eldest son.

After learning that Wang Xuejiao had given birth to Liang Zhaoan's eldest son, Jiang Qiaozhen was filled with anger and regretted that she was too kind and did not get rid of this evil seed.

Although Wang Xuejiao gave birth to a son successfully, her health deteriorated due to Jiang Qiaozhen's torture, and she was even more injured after giving birth.

After all, Mrs. Liang had watched Wang Xuejiao grow up since she was a child, and had long loved her like her own daughter.

Old Madam Liang felt very sorry for Wang Xuejiao, so she took Liang Zhiyuan in and raised him personally, which allowed Liang Zhiyuan to escape the clutches of Jiang Qiaozhen.

But Wang Xuejiao was not so lucky. Jiang Qiaozhen's hatred for her had reached its peak, and she began to quietly poison her with a slow poison.

Wang Xuejiao, who was already seriously injured, gradually became terminally ill due to Jiang Qiaozhen's daily "efforts" and passed away within a few years.

Liang Zhaoan was in great pain after losing his beloved, so he took his son away from his mother and raised him personally.

Over the years, Old Madam Liang had already seen through Jiang Qiaozhen's true colors and knew that Xuejiao's death was definitely related to her, so she didn't want to let her have an easy time and decided to give Liang Zhaoan one concubine after another.

After Wang Xuejiao's death, Liang Zhaoan had already given up on his mother's plan and did not resist. He accepted everything that came his way.

There was only one Wang Xuejiao in the past, and she was gentle in nature, so Jiang Qiaozhen could still handle her.

There are so many women in the backyard now, each of them has ulterior motives and none of them is easy to deal with. Jiang Qiaozhen has a headache every day.

But these women were very happy and many of them had children, including sons.

Since having these women, Liang Zhaoan went to Jiang Qiaozhen's yard only a few times. No matter how many methods she tried, she was never able to get pregnant again.

This made Jiang Qiaozhen extremely angry, but what she hated the most was still Wang Xuejiao's son Liang Zhiyuan.

Although Wang Xuejiao is dead, her son seems to have taken her place and is loved by Liang Zhaoan and his parents-in-law.

Liang Zhiyuan was the eldest son of a concubine, which was a huge threat to her since she had no son.

Jiang Qiaozhen has tried to get rid of Liang Zhiyuan over the years, but he was too well protected and Jiang Qiaozhen had no idea where to start.

Liang Zhaoan taught him personally, and Liang Zhiyuan was a smart child. He had already learned martial arts well at a young age, and most people could do nothing to him.

After trying many times, Jiang Qiaozhen found that she had no chance. Gradually, she stopped struggling and focused on raising her daughter.

Anyway, there is still a long time to go, and there is no rush to deal with that evil creature.

Even if she had no son, she had plenty of illegitimate sons. As long as she chose one and registered it under her own name, he would be her legitimate son, and she would be incomparable to Liang Zhiyuan, the illegitimate son.

Wang Xuejiao is already dead, Jiang Qiaozhen has already won, and naturally she will also win over Wang Xuejiao’s son.

This marriage with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was arranged by Wang Xuejiao for Liang Zhiyuan.

On the one hand, she naturally wanted to establish a relationship with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. On the other hand, she had heard that Lin Qinghan was actually of humble origin and weak in character. If Liang Zhiyuan married such a wife, she would be at the mercy of her mother-in-law. Then her chances of dealing with Liang Zhiyuan would be even greater.
