Qin Changzhou returned home with a cold face.

For some reason, the matter of Aunt Zhou had spread. After he went to the yamen today, two talkative colleagues asked him whether it was true.

Later, his superiors specifically talked to him and asked him to pay attention to his family affairs and not let people from other departments laugh at the Ministry of Industry.

Qin Changzhou knew that his superiors were deliberately making trouble, but he could only apologize and promise to strictly manage the affairs of the government.

Last time Shangfeng’s mother had her birthday, although he spent a lot of money to buy a statue of Bodhisattva, it was not as good as the glazed statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva he had promised before, and Shangfeng was very dissatisfied.

What's even worse is that he finally found a scholar who came to the capital from other places. He was said to have some talent. After promising him a large sum of money, the other party agreed to come to the mansion to be Qin Guangyao's teacher. However, he resigned today, saying that he was unwilling to teach a disciple with bad morals.

Qin Changzhou was angry and furious, but there was nothing he could do. After returning home, he went to Qin Guangyao's yard first.

Qin Guangyao had always refused to admit that he had done what happened to Aunt Zhou two days ago. Later, under Tang Qiaoyin's advice, Qin Changzhou had no choice but to let the matter go.

"uncle."

Qin Guangyao was practicing calligraphy. When he saw Qin Changzhou, he immediately ran to him and said, "Uncle, when will the teacher come? Teacher Wei has already left today."

Qin Changzhou asked the servant to go out first, and then said, "Brother Yao, the teacher was going to come, but he had something to do at home, so he can't come."

Qin Guangyao's face fell, "What should we do then?"

"Just... go to the clan school first." Qin Changzhou had no choice but to say, "Come back when you find a teacher."

"I won't go." Qin Guangyao was dissatisfied. "The clan school is a place for poor people. I look down on the teachers there."

He grabbed Qin Changzhou's sleeve and said, "Dad, if I don't go to the clan school, I won't be able to pass the exam. Dad, you have to think of a way. My aunt can find Master Wei, so why can't you?"

Qin Changzhou's face froze, his expression turned ugly, and he said angrily, "If it weren't for your bad behavior, how could you not find a teacher?"

"You have to rely on yourself to study. If you are not good at studying, it will be useless even if you ask the prince's tutor to teach you."

"If you don't want to go, then learn on your own."

Qin Guangyao had always been favored, and the first time he was reprimanded by Qin Changzhou, he ran out with gritted teeth and tears in his eyes.

He went all the way to Tang Qiaoyin's yard and cried that Qin Changzhou did not find a teacher for him, but instead asked him to go to the clan school.

Tang Qiaoyin was heartbroken and quickly wiped his tears.

Qin Guangyao pushed her hand away and said, "Mom, please think of a solution. I don't want to go to the clan school. I want a famous teacher to be my master."

"This..." Tang Qiaoyin was embarrassed.

She was just a concubine and couldn't even leave the Marquis's mansion. How could she do anything without money or power?

Qin Guangyao saw her hesitation and was very dissatisfied, "Can't you do even this little thing?"

"Brother Yao, I..."

"You are so useless!" He pushed her hand away. "You are unwilling to help me and find a teacher for me. I hate you so much."

He ran out after he finished speaking, and Tang Qiaoyin chased after him, "Yao Ge'er, Yao Ge'er..."

Aunt Liang was holding Qin Yunfan as she passed by. "Oh, Aunt Tang, you have a really good relationship with Yao Ge'er. He always came to see you after you entered the mansion. If someone didn't know, they would think you were his mother."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Qiaoyin glared at her. "I'm the old lady's relative. What's so strange about me being familiar with Yao Ge'er?"

"Who knows what you are planning?" Aunt Liang snorted and walked away with her son in her arms. "Brother Fan, you must behave yourself in the future and never do anything that is harmful to the world, otherwise you won't be able to find a teacher."

"You..." Tang Qiaoyin was so angry, but there was nothing she could do about her, so she turned around and went into the house and slammed the door.

Qin Guangyao ran all the way to Old Madam Qin's yard and met Qin Lingyun halfway.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Qin Lingyun noticed tears on his face. "What happened?"

"Sister..." Qin Guangyao had a sad face and walked aside with her.

"Dad said he couldn't find a teacher, so he asked me to go to the clan school to study. I went to find mom, but she couldn't do anything either."

Qin Lingyun is very thoughtful and has seen the situation in the mansion clearly these days. "Only my aunt can help you find a teacher. The Li family has many connections."

"But my aunt said that it was up to my father to do it. She was not willing to help me find a teacher." Qin Guangyao pouted, "She is not our biological mother. She will not really do good for us."

"Mom said that she can't have children, so her things will be ours sooner or later." Qin Lingyun lowered her voice.

"Go to the clan school for a few days first, then tell her that you can't adapt, and then go to her and cry to her, and ask your great-grandmother to come forward. She will be soft-hearted and will definitely help."

Qin Guangyao thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

Aunt Zhou's fetus was ultimately lost.

After hearing the news, Li Jingwan asked Cuiyu to bring some supplements and go with her to see Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou's face was pale and her eyes were red and swollen. Aunt Liang and Aunt Tong were there to comfort her.

"Mrs. Zhou, you are having a miscarriage now, you can't cry, or you will get sick later."

"You are still young and you can have children."

But Aunt Zhou just sat there and didn't react until Li Jingwan came into the room.

"Don't move, just sit down." Li Jingwan signaled her not to get up, sat on the bench brought by the maid, and sighed.

"I thought the child could be saved, but I didn't expect that. I can only say that this child has a weak bond with you."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou burst into tears again, "Madam, my child..."

Her crying was so pitiful that it made people feel sorry for her. It reminded Li Jingwan of the scene in her previous life when Aunt Zhou lost her child. It was exactly the same.

At that time, she felt sorry for Aunt Zhou who had lost her fetus, so she gave her a lot of tonics and invited famous doctors to treat her.

In the end, he only received insults and torture from the other party.

She asked herself if she had a kind heart.

She will take revenge on anyone who has betrayed her, even if it was instigated by others.

"Mrs. Zhou, don't cry anymore. Get well first. I brought some supplements with me. I'll ask Cuiyu to bring more after you finish them."

Aunt Zhou couldn't stop crying.

"The Marquis has punished Yao Ge'er to kneel in the ancestral hall." Li Jingwan leaned over and patted her hands. "I know you feel wronged, but Yao Ge'er is not my child, and it is not easy for me to discipline him."

Aunt Liang snorted, "Madam, this is not your fault. Yao Ge'er is used to bullying others in the mansion and doesn't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is."

"We have all the evidence, but Yao Ge'er still refuses to admit it. He is truly unrepentant."

Aunt Zhou bit her lower lip tightly, her body trembling. After a while, she said, "Why? He killed my child, and you only punish him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"Who told me that I'm so lucky to be favored?" Aunt Liang said coldly.

"The old lady and the marquis both dote on him. If he is really adopted by the young lady and becomes her legitimate son, we won't have a good life in the future."

Aunt Zhou's eyes gradually became fierce.

Li Jingwan picked up a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth to hide the smile.

Aunt Zhou's knife has finally been sharpened.
