Looking at Tang Qiaoyin's frightened face, Li Jingwan clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves.

The enemy was right in front of her, but she could only endure it.

"Changzhou." Tang Qiaoyin felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

She had been seen by Li Jingwan, and her plans had gone wrong. She didn't know what to do.

"Get out of here!" Qin Changzhou roared, "Get out now."

Li Jingwan slightly turned sideways and let Cuiyu take the men out first, leaving her and Aunt Liang behind.

"My Lord, this is your mistress?" Li Jingwan chuckled. "This girl is quite pretty."

Tang Qiaoyin is indeed beautiful.

She has a pair of peach blossom eyes and a small cherry mouth on her little face, which makes her look pitiful and has a natural temperament that makes men love her.

Tang Qiaoyin also took this opportunity to look at Li Jingwan.

She had only heard Qin Changzhou say that Li Jingwan was cold and tactless, and had always thought that she looked very ordinary and must be much worse than herself.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingwan looked like a line from a play she had heard a few days ago - "a young lady who looks like a banished immortal."

She was wearing a light green long skirt that outlined her slender figure. She wore very little jewelry, only agate earrings of the same color and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally on her hair.

It’s such a simple outfit, but it’s so eye-catching and has such an outstanding temperament.

Tang Qiaoyin felt a sense of crisis.

Even if Qin Changzhou doesn't like Li Jingwan now, but seeing such a beautiful person every day, it is inevitable that he will be tempted one day.

Qin Changzhou said unhappily at this time, "Don't talk nonsense, she is not a concubine."

"Not a concubine?" Li Jingwan frowned, somewhat surprised, "Could it be a prostitute?"

Aunt Liang couldn't help laughing, and looked at Tang Qiaoyin with even more contempt.

Tang Qiaoyin's face flushed red. She had never suffered such humiliation before. "You are slandering me! I am a distant relative of Madam Qin. Madam Qin asked me to stay in the ancestral house temporarily."

Qin Changzhou was also angry, "Li Jingwan, you are a lady from an aristocratic family, how can you humiliate Miss Tang like this?"

"My Lord, what did I say wrong?" Li Jingwan asked back.

"I have seen what you and Miss Tang did just now. Since she is not a mistress, I guess what's wrong with her being a prostitute? Otherwise, what innocent woman would hug a married man?"

"You..." Qin Changzhou was angry, but unable to refute.

Tang Qiaoyin's eyes were filled with tears. "Madam, the Marquis and I are truly in love. If you want to blame someone, blame me! This is all my fault. I missed the Marquis so much that I called him here."

"How shameless." Aunt Liang said in a loud voice, "You seduce me and yet you say it in such a disgusting way."

Tang Qiaoyin's face froze. Seeing that Li Jingwan didn't react, she suddenly knelt in front of her.

"Madam, please don't go to the clan house. If you want to punish me, come to me. Don't let me ruin your future."

Qin Changzhou was deeply moved and immediately helped her up. "Qiaoyin, no one dares to punish you. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As he said this, he glared at Li Jingwan fiercely.

After watching the couple express their love, Li Jingwan slowly spoke.

"Miss Tang, since you are so loyal to the Marquis and you are a relative of the old lady, as the mistress, I will naturally not let you suffer any injustice."

She stepped forward, holding back her nausea and holding Tang Qiaoyin's hand, "From now on, you are Aunt Tang. There are already three in the mansion..."

"No!" Tang Qiaoyin shook her hand away fiercely, "I don't want to be your aunt."

There was a rule in the Sheng Dynasty that concubines could not be taken as wives, and once they became concubines they could only be concubines for the rest of their lives.

If she became a concubine, she would never be able to be the mistress of the marquis's mansion again.

So she kept waiting, preparing to enter the mansion in the name of Old Madam Qin's distant relative, and take her time.

Li Jingwan naturally knew what she was thinking.

That's why she chose to discover the affair between Tang Qiaoyin and Qin Changzhou before Tang Qiaoyin entered the mansion.

She disdained the position of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but she would not let Tang Qiaoyin get her wish.

She will destroy everything these evil people want.

Qin Changzhou also disagreed, "Qiaoyin can't be a concubine."

In his heart, Tang Qiaoyin is his legal wife.

"My Lord, I'm not the only one who saw you and Miss Tang just now." Li Jingwan explained gently, "To put it bluntly, Miss Tang has lost her reputation. She lives in the ancestral house, and people around her already know about her relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion will be caught in controversy."

"If she doesn't want to be a concubine, then she should leave the capital immediately and never come back."

"Don't worry, I will select someone from the general's mansion, send Miss Tang back to her hometown, and then find a good family for her with a dowry."

Aunt Liang immediately chimed in, "Young Madam, you are such a kind person, and you are so thoughtful."

She snorted at Tang Qiaoyin, "Hurry up and kowtow to the young mistress to express your gratitude."

She also wished that this vixen would leave quickly.

Tang Qiaoyin could not agree to this proposal.

How could she possibly leave alone?

"Madam, I am the only one left in my family." Tang Qiaoyin cried anxiously, "I can't go back. And I love the Marquis and don't want to leave him."

Li Jingwan's face darkened, "Miss Tang, don't be too greedy."

"You don't want to be a concubine, and you don't want to leave, but you still want to degenerate. Since you are a relative of the old lady, why don't you consider the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Since you don't choose either path, I will send someone to invite the old lady and the people from the clan house to come and let them decide."

"No." Tang Qiaoyin and Qin Changzhou said in unison.

He was not worried about the old lady, but once the clan officials arrived, the matter became a big deal.

An official assessment will be conducted at the end of the year. Qin Changzhou has always wanted to be promoted, so he cannot make any mistakes.

Li Jingwan changed from her usual docile self to become aggressive, so he could only let Tang Qiaoyin suffer.

"Qiaoyin, I will still treat you well after you enter the mansion." Qin Changzhou said to her gently, "The old lady will definitely be happy that you can accompany her."

At this point, Qin Changzhou has made his attitude clear.

Even though Tang Qiaoyin was unwilling, she had to nod in order to stay.

"Why don't you kowtow to the young mistress?" Aunt Liang was angry. This slut's pretense was just an attempt to please her.

Tang Qiaoyin knelt down reluctantly and greeted, "Aunt Tang greets the young mistress."

His lowered eyes were filled with hatred.

Even if she couldn't become the legal wife in the future, she would take away everything from Li Jingwan.

After acknowledging her as aunt, Li Jingwan suggested that they don't need to go through all those red tape and let Tang Qiaoyin just ride in the carriage with them into the mansion to pay a visit to Old Madam Qin.

Even if Tang Qiaoyin was unwilling, they had the leverage over Li Jingwan, so she had no choice but to agree.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, Li Jingwan deliberately walked slowly and instructed Cuiyu to notify Aunt Tong and Aunt Zhou to go to Old Madam Qin's courtyard.

Then, she added, "Call Yao and Yun to Fuhe Hall to meet Aunt Tang."

She was really looking forward to the scene where the mother and her two children would meet.
