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

As soon as Qin Changzhou returned home, Tang Qiaoyin went to find him.

"My lord, what's wrong?" she asked as she entered the room.

Qin Changzhou looked unhappy and shook his head, "Not yet."

The plan to invite Tao Bopei to be Qin Guangyao's teacher fell through, and Old Madam Qin said that Li Jingwan was not allowed to interfere, so he could only go to other famous scholars himself.

But for several days, no one was invited.

Some even refused to accept his visiting cards.

The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was inconspicuous to begin with, his official position was not high, and he had no connections. He thought inviting a teacher would be an easy matter, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After being busy for these days, he realized that the Master Wei that Li Jingwan invited for Qin Guangyao was not a simple teacher. He was a famous teacher that many noble families wanted to find.

"What should we do?" Tang Qiaoyin became even more anxious. "Master Wei will be leaving in a few days. If we don't find a master, Yao Ge'er will have to go to the clan school to study."

"My Lord, this concerns Yao Ge'er's future." Tang Qiaoyin urged, "Please think of another way."

Qin Changzhou was already angry, and she made him look useless. His tone turned cold, "Yao Ge'er is my son, shouldn't I be anxious?"

Tang Qiaoyin sensed his dissatisfaction, and quickly softened her tone, walked over and took his arm.

"Changzhou, it doesn't matter how hard or tired I am, but it's a pity that Yao Ge'er has been suffering outside since he was born, and he still can't recognize you as his father."

"He finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Without a famous teacher to teach him, his future would be bleak. He has always hoped to pass the imperial examination and be filial to you in the future."

Qin Changzhou thought of the past and instantly softened his heart, "Qiaoyin, don't worry, I'm trying to find a way."

"Mr. Zhao has already received my invitation. I will go visit him early tomorrow morning and will definitely invite him to come."

Tang Qiaoyin was delighted when she heard that and leaned her head on his shoulder.

When the two were in a tender and sweet moment, Qin Changzhou's servant Si Shun knocked on the door and came in, "My Lord, someone from Mr. Zhao's house has come with a message."

Tang Qiaoyin immediately sat up straight and asked, "What did you say?"

Si Shun looked a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"Speak." Qin Changzhou ordered.

Si Shun had no choice but to speak, "My Lord, Mr. Zhao has returned your visiting card. Tell me, tell me..."

"What did you say?" Tang Qiaoyin yelled, "Don't you have a tongue?"

Si Shun shrank his neck in fear, "He said he would not come to the Marquis's Mansion, and there was no need to persuade the Marquis to go to other gentlemen. They all knew about Tao Bopei's stay in the Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Changzhou's face was as black as ink, and he was filled with anger. "How can this be possible! How can this be possible!"

He finally understood why all his running around these days was useless.

Tao Bopei was quite famous among the scholars and literati in the capital. He angrily rebuked Marquis Wu'an, so other literati naturally were unwilling to come to his mansion.

Tang Qiaoyin was so angry that she started to curse, "Asshole, you and the guy named Tao are all a bunch of blind assholes!"

At this moment, she wished she could strangle Aunt Liang to death.

If Liang hadn't caused trouble, Tao Bopei would have been her son's teacher.

Si Shun didn't dare to breathe, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "My Lord, people in Mr. Zhao's house also said that Tao Bopei has become the tutor of the young mistress's brother."

These words were like water dropped into hot oil, and Tang Qiaoyin exploded instantly.

"What does Li Jingwan mean?! She actually stole Yao Ge'er's teacher! Lord, this matter must be decided by the old lady."

Qin Changzhou's eyes were gloomy. Li Jingwan was really the opposite, with her elbows sticking out.

-

When it was almost time for dinner, Fuhetang sent someone to pass on a message that Old Madam Qin invited the Young Madam to come over and have dinner with her.

When Li Jingwan entered the room, she saw Qin Changzhou and Tang Qiaoyin were there too, and the three of them looked unhappy.

Is this going to be a three-court trial?

Li Jingwan smiled inwardly and greeted Old Madam Qin naturally.

Madam Qin's expression was indifferent as she asked her to take a seat.

"Is Aunt Tang here too?" Li Jingwan said with a smile, "I feel like I can see you every time I come to the old lady's place."

Tang Qiaoyin was worried that she would think too much, so she hurriedly said, "Young Madam, the old lady is my relative. I haven't seen her for a long time, and the second lady is not here, so I will spend more time with her."

Sun received a letter a few days ago saying that both of her brothers from her mother's family had new children and asked her to go back and take a look.

Old Madam Qin had always been annoyed by Sun's stupidity, and was also worried that Tang Qiaoyin would say something nonsense after entering the mansion, so she quickly asked Li Jingwan to prepare a generous gift and let Sun return to her parents' home and stay for as long as she wanted.

Li Jingwan asked casually, "This is excellent."

Everyone had arrived and the servants began to serve the dishes. Old Madam Qin could no longer hold back and asked directly, "Jingwan, I heard that Tao Bopei became your brother's teacher?"

"Madam, that's true." Li Jingwan nodded, "I just found out about this."

Qin Changzhou questioned, "Isn't Tao Bopei only willing to teach legitimate sons? Why did he become the teacher of your half-brother?"

"My Lord, I feel sorry when I think of this." Li Jingwan sighed, "Didn't I suggest that you tell Tao Bopei directly about Yao Ge'er's identity?"

"You didn't listen at the time. As a result, when my mother went to see Mr. Tao, she told him that Lang Qing was a bastard, but Tao Bopei agreed. He said that he said he was only willing to teach the legitimate son just to test whether others really wanted him to teach."

"Look, what a pity. If you had told the truth, Mr. Tao would have been Yao'er's teacher, and it would not have been my half-brother's turn. Madam, don't you agree?"

Madam Qin couldn't refute it, so she had to nod, "Yes."

Qin Changzhou didn't expect there were so many twists and turns. It was indeed that he did not adopt Li Jingwan's suggestion, but listened to Tang Qiaoyin's words.

He originally wanted to blame Li Jingwan, but now it seemed that he was the one who was wrong first and he could no longer ask any questions.

Thinking about how the Li family had gotten such a great bargain, Tang Qiaoyin cursed Tao Bopei, the old scoundrel, in her heart for playing tricks on her, but she was unwilling to let it go.

"Madam, I met Yao today and saw that he looked thinner. Yao said he was worried that Master Wei would be gone and no one would teach him, so he couldn't even eat. You are his aunt, so you have to handle this matter."

Madam Qin broke her promise and forgot what she said a few days ago. "Yes, Jingwan. Your mother is from a scholarly family and knows many great scholars..."

Li Jingwan blocked her words.

"Madam, you said a few days ago that the Marquis would be in charge of finding a teacher for Yao. As a woman living in a secluded house, it is not easy for me to show my face in public. Besides, I am not feeling well and look sick. If I go out, it will only bring shame to the Marquis's mansion."

"I think the Marquis can definitely handle such a small matter." She looked at Qin Changzhou, "My Lord, if you really can't do it, then I will ask my mother for help."

"No need." Qin Changzhou refused.

Li Jingwan said it was a small matter. If she still wanted to ask the Li family for help, wouldn't it make her seem incompetent?

"Thank you for your hard work, my Lord."

Li Jingwan laughed in her heart, thinking that Qin Changzhou had no ability but was still obsessed with face. In the past, she had always taken the initiative to do things, but now she just had to watch him make a fool of himself.

Tang Qiaoyin felt very uneasy.

With just a few words, Li Jingwan calmed down Old Madam Qin and Qin Changzhou, and she also declined the task of finding a famous teacher for Yao Ge'er.

It's not simple.

As long as Li Jingwan is unwilling to have her children adopted under her name, she will not do anything for them.

She must suppress Li Jingwan's arrogance.

If Li Jingwan made a big mistake, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted to her? He would immediately agree to adopt her.

After dinner, they moved to the flower hall to drink tea.

Li Jingwan saw the incense burner next to the main seat and sniffed it. "Did the old lady change her incense?"

Madam Qin nodded and said, "I have been waking up early these days and I feel a little tired. Aunt Tang knows how to use incense, so I changed a different one and it has some effect."

"I was wondering why you smell so refreshing." Li Jingwan picked up the teacup and blew gently, then lowered her eyes and covered her gaze.

She took a sip of tea and said, "I just happen to want to use incense recently. If Aunt Tang is free tomorrow, please come to my courtyard and talk to me in detail."

Tang Qiaoyin's heart skipped a beat; the opportunity had come.

She nodded quickly, "Yes."
