She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 12: Not Even as Good as a Bastard
The last time she went back to the General's Mansion, Li Jingwan asked Xiang Mingfang to investigate something, and the thing they investigated was the ancestral home of the Marquis' Mansion.
In her previous life, when Tang Qiaoyin came to the Marquis' Mansion, Old Madam Qin said that she was a distant relative of hers and came from Qingzhou.
But Qin Changzhou went to withdraw the monthly management fee of the ancestral house in person, and after he returned to Beijing, the Marquis' Mansion no longer went to the ancestral house for sacrifices. Li Jingwan was very sure that -
Tang Qiaoyin, the biological mother of Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun, lived in the ancestral house before entering the mansion.
"Miss, you are right. There is indeed a woman living in the ancestral home of Marquis Wu'an, and the Marquis often visits her." Xiang Mingfang glanced at Li Jingwan carefully, with a hint of discomfort and anger in his voice.
His eldest daughter's character, talent and appearance are all first-class, and she married Qin Changzhou and gave him three concubines. However, this guy is still not satisfied and even keeps a mistress.
When Cui Yu heard this, her face changed, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips.
Li Jingwan, however, looked calm, "Uncle Xiang, tell me in detail."
"Yes." Xiang Mingfang continued, "Every time he went there, he would take a carriage and park it in an alley next to the ancestral house. He would go in through the side door and the servant would stay in the carriage. He would wait for him to come out and then leave in the carriage."
"You're quite cautious." Li Jingwan curled her lips slightly, "How often does Qin Changzhou go there?"
Xiang Mingfang glanced at Li Jingwan again, and seeing that she was still calm, he said, "Usually I go there once every three days."
"When was the last time?"
"Two days ago."
Li Jingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then he should go tomorrow."
He then calculated in his mind that the day Tang Qiaoyin would arrive at the Marquis' Mansion would be in the next two days.
It seemed that she had to strike first.
"Miss, why don't you tell Madam about this and let her handle it." Xiang Mingfang suggested.
The status of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion is naturally higher than that of the inconspicuous Wu'an Marquis Mansion. With the general's wife coming forward, Qin Changzhou would definitely not dare to keep a concubine again.
"Don't bother mother." Li Jingwan warned, "Uncle Xiang, you must not let her know about this. Mother is not in good health to begin with, and you must not let her worry about it."
"I will solve it." Li Jingwan had an idea long ago. She asked Xiang Mingfang to investigate just to confirm her guess and find out the pattern of Qin Changzhou's visit to the ancestral home.
"However, I still need your help, Uncle Xiang."
Xiang Mingfang immediately clasped his fists and said, "Miss, please give me your orders. I will definitely do it and will never let you suffer any injustice again."
He gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that it would be best if Zhu Gaozhi asked someone to put a sack on Qin Changzhou and beat him up so that he couldn't get out of bed, and then see if he dared to go again.
On the carriage back home, Cui Yu held Li Jingwan's hand and felt very uncomfortable.
"Miss, you have been wronged."
No wonder the young lady's attitude towards Qin Changzhou took a sharp turn for the worse in recent days. It turned out that she knew he was still having a mistress and finally gave up.
"Fortunately, even if these eight years were wasted," Li Jingwan patted her hands, "it's not too late to recognize the true colors of these people."
Cuiyu felt upset and decided to do her best to protect her young lady.
After returning to Youlan Residence, when only the master and servant were left in the room, Bi Tao said, "Miss, I found out about the eldest lady's affairs today."
Qin Chongxiao's mother, Lin, has been taken care of by people sent by Old Madam Qin since she went crazy. Li Jingwan doesn't know the situation and asks Bitao to inquire about it privately.
"There is only one maidservant serving in the courtyard where the eldest lady lives, and she is a mute."
"The food and medicine in her courtyard were delivered by Madam Zhang herself. No one else was allowed to enter, saying that the eldest lady had hurt someone after her two previous attacks."
Li Jingwan put down her teacup and asked, "Has any doctor seen the Madam?"
Bi Tao nodded, "Doctor Cao goes there once every half a month."
Before her death in her previous life, Li Jingwan heard from Tang Qiaoyin that Lin was poisoned just like her because she knew too much.
If keeping Lin would not allow the court to forget the Marquis' Mansion, she would have been eliminated long ago.
As for the secret that Lin knew, Tang Qiaoyin did not tell anyone.
But Li Jingwan already had a vague guess in her mind.
If we want to confirm it, we must first make Lin wake up.
Lin will become an important force in overthrowing the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
Mother Zhang and Doctor Cao are both Madam Qin's people, so she can't interfere.
Li Jingwan tapped the table twice with her slender fingers. Thinking of an important day that was coming up, she came up with an idea.
Then I can go and see Lin.
-
The next day happened to be the first day of the new year, which was the day Li Jingwan had scheduled to pay her respects.
The courtyards of the three concubines were adjacent to each other, so naturally they went to Youlanju together.
When I entered the yard, I saw Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun walking out, both of them looking proud.
The three of them stopped and greeted them, and Aunt Liang asked Qin Yunfan to call for help.
"Hello, sister. Hello, brother."
Qin Guangyao deliberately muttered, his voice was not small, "What brother? I don't have such a brother."
A trace of annoyance flashed across Aunt Liang's face, but she had to hold it back.
Who made these two the most favored by Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou?
Although they are not legitimate sons or daughters, their food, clothing and other expenses are all provided according to the standards of legitimate sons and daughters, and he also wants to adopt them under the name of the second wife.
Fortunately, the young mistress did not agree.
Qin Lingyun's gaze shifted from Qin Yunfan to Aunt Zhou's bulging belly. She felt unhappy and showed off on purpose.
"As expected, my aunt loves us the most. She is going to find Tao Bopei to be my brother's tutor soon, and she will take me to the Princess's mansion to attend the flower viewing banquet next month."
Aunt Tong had lived in Madam Qin's courtyard before, and was very good at observing people's words and expressions, so naturally she had to flatter him.
"Of course, Sister Yun, you and Brother Yao are the old lady's favorites, so of course the young lady likes you too."
Qin Lingyun was finally satisfied and snorted, "Don't think that giving birth to a son is a big deal. A bastard is a bastard."
As soon as they left, Aunt Liang was so angry that she said, "You really think you are a piece of cake. What's wrong with being a bastard? It's better than having no status at all."
"If he is really a legitimate son, why didn't the clan house make Qin Guangyao the crown prince? He is just a concubine's son, not even as good as a concubine's son!"
"Okay, stop talking." Aunt Tong advised, "Go in quickly."
After entering the room and sitting down, Li Jingwan first asked a few questions about Aunt Zhou's situation, and then only spoke to Aunt Liang, and her words showed her concern for Qin Yunfan.
Aunt Liang's mood gradually improved, and she began to look proud again.
"Madam, you are so kind to Brother Fan. You care about him more than I, his biological mother, do. This is truly Brother Fan's blessing that he has earned in several lifetimes."
Li Jingwan smiled, "Brother Fan is the only son of the Marquis at present. As the mistress, I naturally have to pay more attention to him."
Aunt Liang immediately climbed up the ladder and said with a hint of meaning, "Madam, we just came in and ran into Sister Yun and her brother. Sister Yun said that you were going to hire a famous teacher for Brother Yao. How enviable."
"What are you envious of? When Brother Fan starts to learn, I will personally invite a famous teacher to teach him." Li Jingwan said as she looked at Aunt Zhou, "If Aunt Zhou gives birth to a son, he will naturally have a famous teacher to teach him, and he won't have to go to the clan school."
Aunt Zhou was flattered and stood up to thank her, "Thank you, Madam."
Aunt Tong, who had always been ignored, changed her expression when she heard this.
Aunt Liang has a son, Aunt Zhou is pregnant, but she has nothing.
Moreover, she is Madam Qin's person, so Li Jingwan will definitely be on guard and will not trust her.
What should she do in the future?
Li Jingwan took in her expression, pretended not to know, took a sip of tea and changed the subject.
"The weather is getting warmer. Summer is coming soon. It's time to make clothes in the mansion."
"There's a new clothing store in the city. I heard the styles and fabrics are excellent. I happen to be free today, Aunt Liang, you can go with me and pick out fabrics for Brother Fan in person."
"Yes." Aunt Liang couldn't help but feel happy and looked very proud.
Li Jingwan also laughed.
Sharpening the knife to kill pigs and sheep.
Let Aunt Liang be the knife today.
