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

"Brother Yao and Sister Yun have a good relationship and don't want to be separated." Old Madam Qin explained, "If you want to adopt them, adopt them together..."

"Madam, forget it then." Li Jingwan interrupted her and said considerately, "I don't want to separate the two siblings."

After that, she stood up and said, "Madam, I am not feeling well and I am not in a good mood. I will leave first."

Having said this, Madam Qin couldn't find any other reason for the time being, so even though she was unhappy, she had to agree.

"Okay, go down and have a rest."

Then he said to Qin Changzhou, "Changzhou, send Jingwan back."

Before Qin Changzhou could answer, Li Jingwan said, "No need, old lady. Let the Marquis spend more time with you and mother-in-law. I will take medicine and sleep when I go back."

Qin Changzhou frowned slightly.

In the past, when there was such an opportunity, Li Jingwan always looked at him expectantly, but now she actually took the initiative to refuse?

She doesn't want it, and she doesn't even want it.

Qin Changzhou didn't move, "Then you go down."

As soon as Li Jingwan left, Old Madam Qin said to Sun, "You should go down as well. I have something to say to Changzhou."

Sun couldn't wait to leave because she was always bored every time she came here.

Only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the room. Old Madam Qin said first, "Changzhou, don't be anxious. Wait for a while, and she will definitely agree."

"Grandma, why should we listen to her?" Qin Changzhou said dissatisfiedly, "Just find an elder from the clan to adopt the child. She doesn't have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion."

"The emperor conferred the title of marquis on you because of the Li family, and allowed you and her eldest son to inherit the title without being demoted." Old Madam Qin's eyes were full of calculation.

"Even if he is adopted directly, Yao Ge'er is not Li Jingwan's son. If she wants the clan house to recognize him, she still needs to make arrangements."

Although the hereditary system stipulates that only the eldest legitimate son with a blood relationship can inherit the title, there were precedents in the Sheng Dynasty where the eldest legitimate son inherited the title by adoption. In all cases, the title was obtained because the mistress had a good family background and finally fought for it.

"What if she keeps dragging it out?"

"Then give her a stronger dose of the medicine." Old Madam Qin smiled grimly, "By then she will have completely lost hope of having a child, will she still not give in?"

After Qin Chongxiao's death, in order to keep his title, Qin Changzhou said that Qin Guangyao was Qin Chongxiao's son in order to seek the title, but the clan office did not recognize Qin Guangyao's identity.

Instead, the emperor made an exception and conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an on Qin Changzhou, in recognition of the contributions of three generations of men in the Li family who died on the battlefield. The title was hereditary for three generations, but at the same time he specified that the title could only be passed on to Li Jingwan's eldest son.

Therefore, they have been planning to adopt Qin Guangyao to Li Jingwan as the eldest son, and then Li Jingwan would make efforts to get the clan house to recognize Qin Guangyao's position as the prince, and finally obtain the title.

Three years ago, they started giving Li Jingwan medicine to slowly deplete her energy and blood. After the doctor said she could not get pregnant, they could legally adopt Qin Guangyao and his sister.

Madam Qin is very shrewd. "Li Jingwan has a soft temper. During this period, let Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er go to her more often to pay their respects and say nice things to her. Sooner or later, she will agree to the adoption."

Qin Changzhou was relieved and mentioned another matter, "Grandma, I want to bring Qiaoyin back home."

Old Madam Qin frowned, "Isn't she staying well in the ancestral house? Why bring her in?"

"Grandma, Qiaoyin has lived away from home for three years since she came back with me from the northwest. She misses Yao and Yun very much, and the children miss her too. After she comes in, she can see the children more often."

"Qiaoyin gave birth to my children. She even brought the children with me to the northwest. After returning to Beijing, she stayed alone for three years. I really couldn't bear to let her suffer outside any longer."

"Grandmother, please let her enter the mansion for the sake of Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er."

Old Madam Qin doted on Qin Changzhou since he was a child. Thinking about how Qin Changzhou had secretly met Tang Qiaoyin many times in recent years, it would be safer to bring him in and keep him under her nose.

After being begged by him for a while, she finally gave in and said, "I will arrange this, but you must not let Li Jingwan find out about your relationship."

Otherwise, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it will also incur the wrath of the Li family.

"Thank you, grandma." Qin Changzhou agreed immediately, "She won't find out."

Madam Qin picked up the teacup and took a sip. "By the way, two days ago, Li Jingwan said she would go back to her parents' home on the 15th, which happens to be the day after tomorrow. You should go with her this time."

Qin Changzhou immediately showed a reluctant look.

He didn't like Li Jingwan. In the three years since he returned to Beijing, he had only accompanied her to her parents' home twice.

"Although Li Beiwang and Li Dingzheng are dead, the Li family's connections are still there, and many members of the Li clan serve as officials." Old Madam Qin thinks long-term.

"Changzhou, you are only a fifth-rank official now. If you want to be promoted, you have to rely on the Li family. The Li family's hopes are all on you and Yao Ge'er."

Although Qin Changzhou stayed in the northwest for five years, he did not achieve any military merits and even suffered a defeat. After returning to Beijing, he was able to obtain a fifth-rank official position thanks to his relationship with the Li family.

His biological father was of mediocre talent. He offended his superiors a few years ago and was exiled to a remote area in the south to serve as an official. It was uncertain when he would return. Even if he came back, he would not be able to help Qin Changzhou.

It would be better to cling to the Li family, move around more often, and ask for their support.

"I understand." Qin Changzhou agreed reluctantly.

-

Not far from Fuhe Hall, Li Jingwan asked Cuiyu to go to the accounting office to inform the manager to send the account book to Youlanxuan now.

Cui Yu was worried about her health, "Miss, you are not feeling well, why don't you not see the doctor today and take a rest first."

"I know my limits." Li Jingwan said, "You go ahead."

After Cuiyu left, she and Bitao walked slowly.

There are green plants everywhere in the mansion. It is spring now, the trees are lush and leafy, and flowers of various colors are beginning to bud, the whole place is thriving.

Li Jingwan's heart was as cold as ice and her eyes were chilly. She wanted to destroy this cannibalistic place with her own hands and leave here with dignity.

In her previous life, she overheard Qin Changzhou say that Li Dingzheng and Qin Chongxiao were both pushed off the cliff by him personally.

He thought that these two people were dead for sure, but unexpectedly, thirteen years later, Li Dingzheng suddenly appeared in the northwest and was discovered by his spies planted in the northwest.

After being locked up, she analyzed it many times. Since her brother was not dead, he would definitely go to the commander of the Northwest to expose Qin Changzhou's crimes, or return to Beijing secretly. However, he did not appear until thirteen years later. There was only one possibility -

Li Dingzheng lost his memory, and although he was rescued he had forgotten his past.

It is still ten years before her brother appears. After she finishes her affairs in the capital, she will go to the northwest to find him in person.

She must find him!

Just as I was thinking about it, a somewhat creepy cry suddenly came out.

Li Jingwan was startled and paused, "What's that sound?"

Bi Tao glanced towards the source of the voice in front of her right, "Miss, have you forgotten? It's the eldest lady."

The first lady, Mrs. Lin, is Qin Chongxiao’s mother.

Lin was the legal wife of the late Marquis Qin Maolin, and they were very much in love.

Unfortunately, Qin Maolin fell ill and died when Lin was pregnant. After giving birth to the child, Lin became worried and hurt herself, and her health has always been poor.

Three years ago, Qin Changzhou brought back the news of Qin Chongxiao's death. Lin was devastated and later became mentally ill.

"The eldest lady is so pitiful." Bi Tao sighed.

"She lost her husband and her son. She was gentle and kind to the servants in the mansion, but who knew she would go crazy? Oh, God is so blind."

Li Jingwan curled the corners of her mouth.

This really can't be blamed on God.

Because Lin, like her, was poisoned.

She was driven mad by the poison.
