The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 659 The Coveted Minister's Wife 8

However, it is not easy to just get a divorce. Besides, Pei Shao is still in prison.

Jiang Nanqiu certainly didn't want to kill Pei Shao now, but in the end, she would kill him.

"I know this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

Jiang Nanqiu thought for a moment and asked, "I want to ask you something. What happened in the Xie Mansion on April 23rd?"

Xie Yuer was a little confused. "April 23? There's nothing special about that day. That day is my grandmother's birthday."

Jiang Nanqiu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember who came to your grandmother's birthday?"

Jiang Nanqiu asked this because although Xie Yu'er was a descendant of the Xie family, she was not favored by the Xie family. She might not know much.

It is said that although the old lady of the Xie family and her late husband, Marquis Lin'an, are very affectionate, even the most loving couples have quarrels. When he was young, Marquis Lin'an once got angry and settled down with a merchant girl. Although Marquis Lin'an eventually changed his mind and returned to the mansion, the merchant girl was already pregnant and gave birth to a son, who is now Marquis Lin'an, Xie Yuer's father.

Although Old Lady Xie felt as if she was choking, she had to bow her head and endure. Firstly, she really had deep feelings for the old marquis, and secondly, her family had already fallen on hard times, and they were still thinking of taking advantage of her. If the old marquis really didn't want her anymore, she was afraid that she would have no place to live.

However, from then on, although Old Lady Xie treated her husband gently and considerately, she did keep a closer eye on those beautiful young women around her who wanted to get into her bed with her.

In the past twenty years or so, the Xie family has given birth to several illegitimate daughters in the backyard, but not a single illegitimate son.

Old Lady Xie gave birth to a son who was very promising. When he took the imperial examination, he even won the first place. But when he was about to get married, he suddenly fell seriously ill and eventually passed away.

Old Lady Xie was almost going to follow her son, but she had to hang on for a while because she had an elder daughter who was married far away and a younger daughter who was not yet of marriageable age.

The incense of the Xie family could not be left without a successor. Lin'an Hou wanted Xie An, who was living away from home, to return to the Hou Mansion to take over the family business, but Old Lady Xie was unwilling. After all, Xie An did not grow up under her lap, and he had already married and had children, so he was not close to her.

Therefore, Lady Xie, who had always opposed the old marquis taking concubines, could only lift up the people around her, hoping that they would give birth to a son for the old marquis.

However, after a few years, she only gave birth to two sickly daughters.

Therefore, Xie An returned to the Marquis' Mansion with his family and became the heir apparent.

However, because Xie An's mother had remarried and gave birth to other children, Old Lady Xie felt a lot more comfortable.

And after the old marquis passed away, Xie An naturally became the Marquis of Lin'an.

My grandmother is not my biological grandmother, and since my father returned to the Marquis' Mansion, his relationship with my mother is not as close as before.

Her grandmother stuffed several delicate and young concubines into her father's room, and gave birth to illegitimate sons and daughters. Xie Yuer began to dislike not only her grandmother, but also her father.

In addition, Xie Yuer's maternal grandparents were from a merchant family, so there were not so many rules. Xie Yuer had been used to being idle since she was a child. When she suddenly returned to the Marquis's Mansion, she was despised by the old lady. The Marquis's Mansion had been in charge of the old lady for many years, and even Xie Yuer's mother had to wake up this hateful old lady every morning and evening, so Xie Yuer was even more impatient to stay here any longer.

Whenever there was something important happening in the mansion or when guests were coming and going, Xie Yuer would hide away.

Xie Yuer indeed didn't have a clear memory of what happened that day.

On her grandmother's birthday, she gave her gifts early in the morning and went out to play. She didn't return until it was dark at night, when everyone had left. Her father was angry that day and waited for her in the front yard. After scolding her, he also punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall all night.

However, most of the people who came to her grandmother's birthday party that day were familiar faces, and she can still remember those names when she thinks back now.

"It was my grandmother's birthday, so of course my two aunts came, and Concubine Li from the palace also sent someone to deliver gifts. After all, her sister is my father's favorite concubine, as you know. The princess and the county lady also came. Then there was the wife of the censor, and people from the prince's palace also came. I heard that this made my grandmother very angry again..."

Jiang Nanqiu listened very carefully and did not interrupt her much, although these women were still some distance away from the answers she wanted.

"As for the male guests, it was a bit surprising. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince both came, but after the Fifth Prince came, he left very quickly. Then, the Fourth Prince also left. The other families only sent people to deliver gifts, but the host family did not come."

When Jiang Nanqiu heard about the Fourth Prince, his heart skipped a beat. "Is your family also on good terms with the Fourth Prince now?"

Xie Yuer shook her head. "That's impossible. My father is a loyal emperor. Both the Fourth and Fifth Princes just want to win over my father. However, although my father is a military commander, he is as slippery as an earthworm, pretending to be stupid and talking about other things. I guess the Fourth and Fifth Princes were angered by my father and left."

Xie Yu'er laughed hard, but Jiang Nanqiu just managed to curl the corners of his mouth. She thought for a long time before finally asking, "So on that day, were there any male relatives staying in your house?"

Xie Yuer looked a little confused and uneasy, and Jiang Nanqiu could see that she was in a dilemma. She was very reluctant, but she had a hunch that Xie Yuer had the answer she wanted. Jiang Nanqiu could only say to her, "Yuer, I have my reasons. When the matter is resolved, I will definitely tell you the reason. Can you tell me if there was any other man staying in your room that night?"

Xie Yuer thought of what her father said, but in the end friendship prevailed, "Actually, I..."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Nanqiu, who was anxious to know the answer, suddenly shouted, "Yu'er, stop talking."

Xie Yuer shut up and looked at Jiang Nanqiu.

Jiang Nanqiu stood up suddenly, her eyes fixed on the thick curtains.

The rings there actually jingled even though there was no wind.

Jiang Nanqiu took out the dagger from her sleeve pocket. Since those incidents, she has developed the habit of carrying a dagger with her. She slowly walked towards the direction of the curtain. However, when she was three steps away from there, she suddenly heard the voice of the system, "Host, another son of luck has appeared. In this room. There are two sons of luck in this world. You must capture at least one, marry him, and give birth to a child to complete the task."

After hearing this, Jiang Nanqiu stood still, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
