"really?"

"Mom, this is what Uncle Tan heard with his own ears, it can't be false." Chu Lin nodded.

"He parked his carriage next to the carriage of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and pretended to be asleep. He heard the two personal maids of the Marquis of Wu'an's wife say it themselves."

After the groom told Chu Lin what he had heard, he immediately went to find his biological mother, He.

"I did hear that Marquis Wu'an's wife, Li Jingwan, was infertile and took the initiative to take in several concubines for the Marquis Wu'an's mansion." He thought of this.

Chu Lin mocked, "That's why Li wanted to adopt Qin Lingyun and her brother under her name. It's because she can't have children herself."

He felt proud.

Even though Li Jingwan married better than her and her family was more powerful, she was still not as powerful as herself because she gave birth to a son.

"Mother, the jewelry Qin Lingyun wore today is worth at least several thousand taels, which shows that the Marquis's family is wealthy. Li Jingwan's maid also said that whoever marries Qin Lingyun will receive hundreds of taels of dowry alone."

He's eyes lit up, that was a lot of money, not only could it fill the holes in the mansion, but there would also be some left for them and their son to use.

However, she still felt that Qin Lingyun was not worthy of him.

"Lin'er, your ancestor is the brother of the founding emperor of the Sheng Dynasty. The Marquis of Wu'an is just a small marquisate. Even if he is a legitimate daughter, he is not worthy of your status."

"Mom, the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is inconspicuous, but Li Jingwan's family is extraordinary."

Although he spent his days wandering around, Chu Lin was also quite worldly-wise and good at calculating. "If I marry Qin Lingyun, I will be a relative of the Li family."

"I think it will be easy for me to get a good job through the Li family's connections."

"Yes, yes, yes." He said happily, thinking that her son was smart and had long-term ideas. "Now that you are Li Jingwan's son-in-law, she will naturally plan for you."

He reminded again, "Lin'er, you can't express your intention to ask for marriage to Qin Lingyun yet."

"Mother, I know." Chu Lin had already made a plan, "We'll talk about it after she is officially adopted by the Li family and becomes the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion."

-

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion from the Princess' Mansion, Li Jingwan rested for a while. Old Madam Qin sent someone to tell Li Jingwan to go over there immediately.

Without thinking, he must be asking about today's flower viewing banquet.

Li Jingwan got up, changed her clothes, and went to Fuhe Hall.

In addition to Old Madam Qin, Qin Changzhou was also there.

Sure enough, as soon as Old Madam Qin saw Li Jingwan, she asked her if any noble family at today's flower-viewing banquet had taken a fancy to Qin Lingyun?

Li Jingwan felt amused. There was nothing she liked, but there were a lot of things she didn't like.

"Madam, I asked Sister Yun on the way back in the carriage. She said that today she was mainly chatting with young ladies from aristocratic families, and girls are all very reserved."

"Besides, it was just a flower viewing party, how could you fall in love with someone so quickly?" Li Jingwan smiled, "You still have to take your time choosing a marriage."

Old Madam Qin was not satisfied, but thinking that Qin Lingyun had not yet been adopted by Li Jingwan, she couldn't push her too far.

"Jingwan, I asked a famous doctor to prescribe you a tonic. Is it effective after taking it?"

"I drink it every day, but I always feel uncomfortable." Li Jingwan coughed lightly, "It's April, but my hands and feet still feel cold."

Seeing that her face was indeed pale, Old Madam Qin felt relieved, "The effect of the medicine won't come on so quickly, so you have to keep drinking it."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, ma'am."

Madam Qin changed the subject again, "Brother Yao has already gone to the clan school, but we can't leave out the matter of finding a teacher. How is it going now?"

She was asking about Li Jingwan.

Li Jingwan knew what Old Madam Qin was planning, and she still wanted her to contribute both the effort and the money.

But she didn't answer, instead she looked at Qin Changzhou, "Yes, Lord, aren't you responsible for finding a teacher? Have you found one?"

Qin Changzhou was caught off guard by her question and said vaguely, "Still looking."

In fact, it can’t be found.

After the last incident spread among the circle of famous teachers in Beijing, no one was willing to be Qin Guangyao's teacher.

Seeing that Old Madam Qin looked unhappy, Qin Changzhou added, "Grandma, don't worry. In fact, Yao Ge'er has adapted very well in the clan school these days. I asked the clan school teacher, and he said that Yao Ge'er studies very hard, and many of the clan school's students are good friends with him."

Li Jingwan nodded, "Brother Yao is not as motivated to study alone as he is to study with others. We can supervise each other and learn from each other."

Old Madam Qin was now somewhat satisfied. "This shows that Yao is a good student. He should study at the clan school first, but he also needs to find a teacher."

Li Jingwan picked up the teacup to cover the sneer on her face.

She had already asked someone to check it out.

Qin Guangyao was playful and impatient. It was only after she strictly disciplined him for the first three years that he restrained his temper. But once he arrived at the clan school where all kinds of people mixed together, it was like a fish entering the sea, and his nature was completely released.

Studying is not as easy as playing.

Coupled with the deliberate flattery of some disciples of the clan school and the concealment of the clan school teacher and servants, Qin Guangyao has been doing very well and has become reluctant to leave. It is estimated that he would not be willing to return to the marquis's mansion to study.

People need to be cultivated. In her previous life, she worked hard to cultivate Qin Guangyao and served as his fertilizer, which enabled him to walk on the right path and obtain fame.

There are no restrictions in this life, and Qin Guangyao is simply walking back to the path he should have taken.

Just after putting down the teacup, Qin Changzhou suddenly announced, "Grandma, I have promised Aunt Tang to let her and Aunt Tong exchange courtyards."

Tang Qiaoyin lived in the worst Yuzhuyuan, while Aunt Tong lived in Hexiangyuan, the best among the concubines.

"We're living well, why do you want to move?" Old Madam Qin was dissatisfied and disliked Tang Qiaoyin for being nosy.

"Yuzhu Courtyard is too sunny, and Aunt Tang is not feeling well." Qin Changzhou explained, and then looked at Li Jingwan, "Do you have any questions?"

You've already made the decision, and you're asking her what she thinks?

Li Jingwan thought it was ridiculous, "The Marquis has already agreed to Concubine Tang, can I still say no?"

Qin Changzhou was a little embarrassed by her question, "There is one more thing. I want to promote Aunt Tang to be a noble concubine."

There was a flash of coldness in Li Jingwan's eyes. Tang Qiaoyin was really going to push her too far.

"My Lord, Concubine Tang entered the mansion last and has no children. Even if we want to promote concubines, Concubine Liang, who gave birth to Brother Fan, should be promoted first."

"I know that the Marquis likes Concubine Tang the most, but the Marquis also has to consider the feelings of the other concubines."

Madam Qin also agreed, "Jingwan is right, Aunt Tang has only been in the mansion for less than two months, don't be impatient."

She knew that Tang Qiaoyin had always been dissatisfied with entering the mansion as a concubine, and felt that she had made a great contribution by giving birth to Qin Lingyun's siblings, so she always wanted to suppress others.

She can't spoil her.

Seeing that both of them objected, Qin Changzhou had no choice but to give up.

-

The next morning, Li Jingwan returned to the general's mansion to visit her mother and younger siblings.

Yao held her hand and looked at her carefully, finally feeling relieved, "You look better than last time."

When she came to see her mother, Li Jingwan did not deliberately put on makeup on her face to make her look worse, as she did when she was in the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise she would make her mother worry.

"Jingwan, you wrote to me last time and asked me to help you find a famous doctor. Doctor Wang replied yesterday."
