She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

After Tang Qiaoyin went to visit Old Madam Qin as her aunt, she learned the whole story from Li Jingwan. She cursed Tang Qiaoyin in her heart for being more of a hindrance than a help, but she could only accept it.

"Jingwan, you did the right thing. You are worthy of being the mistress of a marquisate. You have a great demeanor."

She praised him a few times, and then tried to make amends with a hint of guilt, "Come to think of it, it's my fault for not telling you earlier. Qiaoyin is my distant relative, and she came to Beijing to seek refuge with me a few days ago."

"I saw that you were busy, so I didn't tell you. I arranged for her to live in the ancestral house first, and asked Changzhou to send her some gifts occasionally. I never thought that they would fall in love with each other."

Li Jingwan was very considerate and smiled, "Madam, this is what is called a destined meeting, which means that Concubine Tang should enter the Marquis' Mansion."

Sun was also invited over, and at this time she asked with some confusion, "Why haven't I heard Changzhou mention that Aunt Tang lives in the ancestral house?"

"It's just a small matter. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not." Old Lady Qin said quickly, worried that this stupid daughter-in-law would cause trouble.

Sun usually didn't care about things, but since it was her son taking a concubine, she felt she should say a few more words and asked where Tang Qiaoyin's hometown was.

"Qingzhou." Tang Qiaoyin answered according to the statement she had prepared earlier.

"Oh, that's quite far away." Sun asked curiously, "Isn't Qingzhou in the south? How come your accent is not much different from that of the capital?"

She just asked casually, but Tang Qiaoyin and the others looked stunned.

Qin Changzhou quickly explained, "Mom, Qiaoyin has been in Beijing for several years, so her accent is naturally the same as that of Beijing people."

"Didn't the old lady say she came a few days ago?" Sun was puzzled.

Madam Qin wanted to chase her out. "Okay, stop asking these meaningless questions."

Li Jingwan wanted to scare them deliberately, "Isn't this a coincidence? Aunt Tang, there are a few people from Qingzhou in my family. Where are you from in Qingzhou? Maybe you are from the same hometown as them."

Tang Qiaoyin didn't know how to answer. Qingzhou was just an excuse. She had never been there.

She couldn't help but look at Qin Changzhou, wanting him to help her out.

Qin Changzhou was about to speak when the door curtain was lifted.

Qin Guangyao rushed in first, "Great-grandmother, I miss you so much."

Qin Lingyun followed behind him.

As soon as she heard his voice, Tang Qiaoyin's expression became slightly excited.

Qin Guangyao ran straight to Old Madam Qin and acted coquettishly to her. Old Madam Qin liked this great-grandson very much and touched his head affectionately.

"Brother Yao, walk slower. You're sweating. Be careful not to fall."

"Great-grandmother." Qin Lingyun walked forward and was about to greet her when her eyes met Tang Qiaoyin's.

She was stunned.

Qin Guangyao also noticed Tang Qiaoyin at this time and blurted out, "Mom..."

Madam Qin quickly stopped him and said, "Guangyao, why don't you pay your respects to your mother?"

Qin Guangyao stopped talking in time and said to Li Jingwan, "Hello, mother."

Qin Changzhou and his companions breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Brother Yao, Sister Yun, I asked you to come here to meet your uncle's new concubine Tang. Hurry up and say hello to Concubine Tang."

Qin Lingyun and her brother were even more surprised.

Tang Qiaoyin had clearly always said that she would never be a concubine, but would become the mistress of a marquisate and drive Li Jingwan away.

As long as she becomes the mistress, the two of them will be adopted by Qin Changzhou, and then they can recognize each other openly as mother and son.

How did you suddenly become an aunt?

Doesn't that mean I can only be a concubine from now on?

Qin Lingyun suddenly felt disappointed.

She couldn't accept that she was her aunt's daughter.

"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?" Li Jingwan asked with a smile, "Could it be that you have seen Aunt Tang before?"

"No." Qin Lingyun and her brother quickly shook their heads to deny, then greeted Tang Qiaoyin.

Hearing her own child calling her "Auntie", Tang Qiaoyin suppressed her discomfort, nodded and smiled in return, and her hatred for Li Jingwan and Auntie Liang deepened.

If these two people had not come to the ancestral house today, she would not have been forced to become a concubine.

After everyone met, Li Jingwan began to talk about the arrangements after Tang Qiaoyin entered the mansion.

"Mrs. Tang came to the mansion in a hurry, and now only the Yuzhu Courtyard is empty. Although it is a little small, it is quiet. When I came back just now, I had someone clean it up. Mrs. Tang, you can live there first, and we will arrange for another courtyard to be vacant later."

Li Jingwan said it lightly, but Aunt Liang and the other three concubines knew that Yuzhu Courtyard was the worst courtyard in the mansion.

It is remote and narrow, with a bad orientation and is exposed to the sun in the summer. It is much worse than Aunt Tong's Lotus Fragrance Garden next door.

It seems that Li Jingwan is very dissatisfied with Tang Qiaoyin.

Tang Qiaoyin bowed, "Thank you for the arrangement, Madam."

Li Jingwan turned to Madam Qin and said, "Madam, Aunt Tang is your relative, so the maids who serve her must be carefully selected. How about you arrange it?"

She knew that if she made the choice, Old Madam Qin would definitely be worried, so she might as well let them choose.

"Then let's choose Xiang'er. She is a second-class maidservant by my side and is very efficient." As expected, Old Madam Qin picked one from her own courtyard.

Li Jingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, still Xiang'er, just like in the previous life.

After a few more words, Li Jingwan said, "Mrs. Tang has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation in the mansion. Lord, you should take Mrs. Tang around first, and then send her to Yuzhu Courtyard. We will meet again at dinner, and welcome Mrs. Tang to the mansion."

Qin Changzhou naturally did not refuse and took Tang Qiaoyin out. After a while, Qin Lingyun and Qin Guangyao said they had something to do and left in a hurry.

It seems that a family of four is going to reunite. Li Jingwan sneered in her heart. After leaving Fuhe Hall, she asked Bitao to call Xiang'er to see her.

Xiang'er came quickly, looking a little uneasy. This was the first time Li Jingwan came to see her.

"This servant pays respects to the young lady."

Li Jingwan didn't let her get up. "Xiang'er, the old lady sent you to serve the new concubine Tang today. Do you know?"

"I know." Xiang'er nodded.

Li Jingwan smiled and suddenly asked, "Then do you know that if a servant embezzles the master's money, he will be punished with at least thirty strokes of the cane after being sent to the authorities?"

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, all the color on her face disappeared.

Li Jingwan opened the booklet at hand.

"Last month, you were in charge of purchasing supplements for the old lady. Renshantang sold them to you for 300 taels, but you asked Renshantang to write a receipt for 400 taels, embezzling 100 taels."

"Two months ago, you went to buy a blood bird's nest for four hundred taels of silver. You reported to the accountant that you spent five hundred taels of silver, and you embezzled another one hundred taels of silver."

Xiang'er was corrupt and she only discovered it after Tang Qiaoyin entered the mansion in her previous life.

At that time, the monthly expenses of the Marquis' Mansion were increasing. She wanted to save some money, so she looked for ways to do it.

She found out that Madam Qin had been buying her supplements at Renshan Hall, so she privately found the shopkeeper and wanted to discuss whether the price could be lowered if all the supplements and medicines needed by the Marquis' Mansion were bought from Renshan Hall.

As a result, she found out after talking with the shopkeeper that Xiang'er had colluded with the accountant of Renshan Hall to falsely report prices and get kickbacks.

At that time, considering Xiang'er was a maid in Fuhe Hall, she did not deal with it directly, but told Mrs. Qin privately.

Soon, Xiang'er left the marquis's mansion and was said to be sent to the farm.

In this life, she must make good use of this opportunity.

Xiang'er sat on the ground with weak legs, crying and begging for mercy.

"Young Madam, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again. I did it just to treat my mother. I won't dare to do it again."

She knelt down and kowtowed again, "Madam, please don't report it to the police. I will do anything you ask me to do."

When she cried until her voice was hoarse and her emotions were extremely panicked, Li Jingwan finally spoke.

"Okay, I can give you a chance to make amends."
