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

When they arrived at the main hall of Fuhe Hall, the maid guarding the door lifted the door curtain.

As soon as Li Jingwan entered, she saw Old Madam Qin sitting in front of her, and sitting below her was Qin Changzhou's biological mother, Sun.

Qin Changzhou was also there, sitting on a chair nearby. When he saw her come in, he just glanced at her coldly without saying anything but picked up the teacup and drank tea, clearly ignoring her.

To be honest, Qin Changzhou is a handsome man. Just based on his appearance, he can be described as a "talented and charming man" and he is very popular with women.

In her previous life, Li Jingwan had also fallen in love with him, and even though he was treated coldly, she just thought it was due to his personality.

In addition, he took good care of Qin Chongxiao's two children. She thought Qin Changzhou had a good character and was willing to be a widow.

Only now did she realize that Qin Changzhou was clearly a fool with a glamorous appearance but a rotten heart.

He obtained the title with the help of the Li family, relied on the Li family's connections in officialdom, relied on Li Jingwan's dowry for the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, relied on Li Jingwan's training for his children, and even his promotion and increase of title were due to his betrayal of the Li family.

The Marquis' Mansion was really squeezing the life out of her and the Li family.

When she saw her enemies, Li Jingwan was filled with hatred and wanted to tear them into pieces immediately, but she couldn't move now. She could only bide her time and take it one step at a time.

Restraining her disgust, Li Jingwan looked as respectful as before as she bowed to Old Madam Qin and Madam Sun, then nodded to Qin Changzhou.

Madam Qin's face was full of concern. "Jingwan, come and sit down. Why do you look so pale?"

Li Jingwan sat down and said, "I just woke up, and my heart is still stuffy. Mother Zhang told me that you, the old lady, wanted to see me, so I could only come here reluctantly."

These words made Old Madam Qin's face fall. She always felt that her granddaughter-in-law looked a little different after she came into the house today.

Although his attitude was respectful, his expression was much duller.

Sun was also called over suddenly, and said, "I told you not to rush to call her over. I had already made an appointment with Mrs. Liu to go..."

Old Madam Qin stared at her, and Sun stopped talking and smiled awkwardly.

Madam Qin cleared her throat.

"Jingwan, I just called Doctor Cao over to ask about your condition. He said that you are suffering from a serious deficiency of Qi and blood, and you need to recuperate for a long time. If you need any herbs, just tell me. Even if they are not available in the capital, Changzhou will go to other places to find them."

"Thank you for your concern, old lady." Li Jingwan lowered her head slightly.

"You have always been in poor health. You have been married to the Marquis' Mansion for eight years, but you still don't have a child." Old Madam Qin sighed, "The doctor said that it would be difficult for you to get pregnant in your current condition."

The real purpose was revealed. In the previous life, Old Madam Qin also said the same thing. Li Jingwan felt extremely ashamed at the time, and this was exactly what the other party wanted.

This time, she raised her head and said, "Don't worry, old lady. The doctor said that I am still young and will get better soon as I take good care of myself. And my family also knows some famous doctors. If I consult a few more famous doctors, having a child will only be a matter of time."

Old Madam Qin didn't expect her to say that, and the words she had prepared stopped at her lips.

"That's the case...but the disease is dying quickly. You are 26 years old now. If you wait for three to five years to recover, it will be difficult to have children after you are 30."

"Besides, you are now the mistress of a marquisate. If you have no children, you will inevitably be criticized."

Madam Qin took the opportunity to say, "I have discussed with Changzhou and decided to adopt Yao'er and Yun'er under your name as your adopted sons and daughters, so that you can have someone to rely on. These two children have been back home for three years, and you have always loved them, and they are also filial to you, so it is most appropriate for them to be adopted by you."

Three years ago, when Qin Changzhou brought them back to Beijing, Qin Guangyao was seven years old, Qin Lingyun was nine years old, and she had only been married for five years.

In other words, before she got married, Qin Changzhou and Tang Qiaoyin had already given birth to this pair of children, and kept it a secret from her until his death.

Li Jingwan was filled with hatred. She shook her head at the confident looks of Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou, and said, "No."

Madam Qin's face suddenly darkened, "Jingwan, this is for your own good. Yao and Yun are smart, sensible, and filial, and you don't have any children, so isn't this just right?"

Qin Changzhou's face was not looking good either. It was the first time he saw Li Jingwan object. In the past, she always did what they said.

"Yao'er and Yun'er are my eldest brother's only children. I watched them grow up." Qin Changzhou said in a deep voice, "Although they are uncle and nephew, I have long regarded them as my own children. The old lady is thinking about you, so don't be ungrateful."

"My Lord, you misunderstood." Li Jingwan smiled, "I have always liked Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er. It would be great if they were willing to be my children."

"But you also said that they are the only bloodline of my eldest brother. If they are adopted, wouldn't that cut off my eldest brother's bloodline? The emperor values ​​filial piety and brotherhood the most, and my eldest brother died for the country. What would the emperor think if he knew about this?"

"Although I don't have any children, you already have a bastard child, and Aunt Zhou is pregnant with another one. Even if you want to adopt a child, you should give priority to choosing bastard children. Otherwise, outsiders will think that the second wife and concubine are not compatible, and the second wife wants to cut off the first wife's lineage."

This statement does make sense, and Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou could not refute it.

But Qin Changzhou was unwilling to give up. He poisoned Li Jingwan just to have an excuse to adopt Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun under his name, since they were his own flesh and blood.

He was about to speak again, but Sun spoke first.

"Yes, Changzhou, you already have Brother Fan, it's not like you don't have children, why do you want to adopt your eldest brother's children? Moreover, they are just your eldest brother's concubines in the northwest, not even as good as illegitimate sons and daughters. If you adopt them, you will lose your status."

"Shut up." Old Madam Qin said unhappily, "If you can't speak, get out."

If I had known earlier, I would not have let Sun come. She has been married for so long, but she is still so stupid.

Sun shut up, feeling indignant. She didn't want to come in the first place.

"Although she was born to a concubine, she is still my eldest brother's flesh and blood." Li Jingwan tried to smooth things over and said deliberately, "Men inherit the bloodline. Otherwise, we can just adopt Lingyun. It's just right that my husband doesn't have a daughter."

"No." Old Madam Qin and Qin Changzhou said in unison.

Li Jingwan sneered in her heart, they were indeed after the title.

In order to reduce the power of the feudal lords, the system of hereditary titles in the Sheng Dynasty was very strict.

When the father dies, the son inherits the title, which is one level lower than the previous one. Moreover, the title can only be inherited by the eldest son of the eldest son in the eldest house, and there must be a blood relationship.

If there is no eldest son from the eldest house, the title will be taken back by the clan affairs office.

One of the marquises in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was Qin Maolin, the eldest son of Old Madam Qin, but he died before Qin Chongxiao was born.

As the eldest grandson, Qin Chongxiao was named the Crown Prince and could inherit the title with the approval of the clan affairs office when he turned 20.

But Qin Chongxiao went to the northwest to fight when he was a teenager and died there. Although Qin Guangyao was his son, he was not born to his wife, so the clan government did not recognize him and he was not qualified to inherit the title.

Seeing that the title of Marquis Wu'an was about to be taken away, the emperor, considering that three generations of men in the Li family had died on the battlefield and were loyal to the country, not only gave the Li family generous rewards, but also showed special favor and conferred the title of Marquis Wu'an on Qin Changzhou.

In addition, the eldest son of Li Jingwan and Qin Changzhou can still inherit the title without having to downgrade the title.

This also marked the beginning of Li Jingwan being plotted against.
