She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 5 As they wish
The two people who came in were Qin Chongxiao's nominal children and Qin Changzhou's illegitimate children, Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun.
Qin Guangyao was dressed like a rich young master. He was fair, tender and well-behaved. Although he was only ten years old, he was very good at saying flattering words.
Thirteen-year-old Qin Lingyun was wearing a light yellow dress. She was youthful and eye-catching, with an oval face and delicate looks, and she already showed some of her adult beauty.
In the previous life, Li Jingwan had always liked these two people, and after they were adopted, she cultivated them with all her heart, but in the end, she got ingratitude.
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, gritted her teeth, and smiled as usual, "Hurry up and sit down, and have dinner with me."
The maid brought a washbasin and towels, and helped them wash their hands and sit down.
"Aunt, I heard that you fainted this afternoon. Are you feeling better now?" Qin Lingyun looked worried, her eyes slightly red. "You really scared me."
It seems that she is indeed filial.
Li Jingwan in her previous life also thought so.
But once you see her true face, if you think about it carefully, you will know that she is just pretending.
Several hours have passed since she fainted. If Qin Lingyun really cared about her, she would have come a long time ago. Why did she come only now?
Most likely, they came here after receiving instructions from Old Madam Qin.
"Aunt, you have to take care of yourself." Qin Guangyao continued, "When your nephew grows up, I will definitely hire the best doctors to treat you and help you solve your problems so that you don't have to work too hard."
Li Jingwan was touched and relieved, "It's great that Yao Ge'er has this heart."
She didn't ask the maid to serve the dishes, but personally picked up the serving chopsticks to serve them the dishes, "You are still growing, eat more."
But she herself didn't eat much.
Being with these two ungrateful enemies, she had no appetite at all.
There are many rules in the Marquis' Mansion. You are not allowed to talk while sleeping or eating.
After eating, the three of them rinsed their mouths and went to the warm room.
The maid brought tea. Li Jingwan took it and took two sips without speaking.
Qin Guangyao was a little anxious. Normally, Li Jingwan would always ask about his studies whenever she saw him, but until dinner, Li Jingwan didn't mention a word about it.
He glanced at Qin Lingyun, who winked at her, signaling him to speak.
Qin Guangyao walked up to Li Jingwan and leaned close to her, "Aunt, I learned a new poem today and I want to recite it to you."
"Okay." Li Jingwan put down the teacup and smiled, then leaned back calmly, away from him.
Qin Guangyao recited aloud, "A loving mother sews clothes for her son. She sews them tightly before he leaves, fearing that he will be late to return. Who says that a filial son can repay the kindness of his parents?"
"Master Wei said that this poem 'Song of the Wandering Son' is about a mother's love for her son. It is an ode to maternal love." Qin Guangyao said shyly, "When I was learning it, I always thought of you, aunt, so I wanted to recite it to you."
"Good boy." Li Jingwan looked at him lovingly, "Brother Yao is so smart, he will be able to recite what he has learned today."
"Master Wei taught me well." Qin Guangyao suddenly showed a sad expression, "But..."
"What's wrong?" Li Jingwan asked immediately.
"Master Wei said he had something urgent to do and would leave Beijing to return home soon, so he can no longer teach me. If I can't find another master, I can only go to the clan school."
Generally, larger families have clan schools for children from poor families to go to school.
Naturally, the level of the teachers in the clan schools was rather average, and most of them were down-and-out scholars.
Those who have money at home would hire famous teachers to teach them.
Three years ago, after Qin Guangyao was brought back to the Marquis' Mansion, Old Madam Qin asked Li Jingwan to find a famous teacher to teach him.
Master Wei was a master of philosophy, and Li Jingwan personally invited him based on the Li family's background.
Qin Guangyao did not do well in his early education, had a weak foundation, and had a bad temper. After Master Wei taught him for a few days, he wanted to leave. It was Li Jingwan who repeatedly persuaded him to stay.
In order to help Qin Guangyao keep up with the progress, she basically sat in on the lessons during the first year. After Master Wei finished teaching, she would teach again until Qin Guangyao could understand it. Then she would teach him how to write and explain other knowledge.
After two years of hard work, Qin Guangyao made great progress and was finally able to keep up with the progress. Sometimes he would even receive praise from Master Wei.
In the previous life, before Master Wei left, Li Jingwan had already found another famous teacher with stricter requirements.
She continued to accompany Qin Guangyao in his studies without any complaints, and even later asked the former prince's tutor to tutor him until he finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
She had been in poor health to begin with, and this made her health even worse.
However, Qin Guangyao, who always said that he wanted to repay her, framed the Li family, found out the evidence of the crime for the sake of justice, stepped on the Li family to rise to the top, and sucked every last breath of blood from the Li family.
At this time, Li Jingwan naturally knew the purpose of his words, but she did not respond.
"Most likely, Master Wei is in a hurry to leave because something happened at home. He is old and has long wanted to return to his hometown. Bi Tao, go and make arrangements tomorrow and prepare a farewell gift."
"Yes." Bitao agreed.
Qin Guangyao was a little anxious, as he was young and couldn't keep his composure.
"Aunt, I don't want to go to the clan school to study. The teachers there are not good teachers, and they are not as good as you. My great-grandmother told me to find you, because only you can hire this famous teacher for me."
Li Jingwan smiled in her heart. He had already found a partner and was just waiting for her to contribute money and effort.
"Which one?" she asked knowingly.
Qin Guangyao immediately said, "Tao Bopei."
Li Jingwan had an impression of this man. He was the runner-up in the imperial examination and was very talented, but he had a strange personality and a hot temper. He recently resigned from the Hanlin Academy and was unemployed at home.
There are many people in the capital who want to invite him, and Qin Changzhou probably already made inquiries about them.
In her previous life, Qin Guangyao also came to her and said that he wanted to invite Tao Bopei to be his teacher, but she did not agree.
Because she knew that although Tao Bopei was talented, he was not suitable. At that time, she found an excuse to refuse, and Qin Changzhou was still very unhappy until she invited another famous teacher.
This time, since Qin Guangyao wanted to humiliate himself, how could she miss this opportunity?
Li Jingwan agreed, "Mr. Tao is a friend of my father. I will be returning to the General's Mansion the day after tomorrow. I will find a way."
"Thank you, aunt." Qin Guangyao smiled, "I knew that you loved me the most. When I have a promising future, I will definitely be filial to you."
He speaks sweet words easily, but in fact, he is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
Qin Changzhou named him Qin Guangyao, hoping that he would bring honor to his family, but unfortunately it was destined to be a great shame.
Seeing that Qin Guangyao's request was granted, Qin Lingyun quickly stated her purpose.
"Aunt, I heard from Miss Cai of the British Duke's family that there will be a flower viewing banquet in the capital in a month. I also want to go and see it, but I don't have an invitation..."
The flower-viewing banquet is a tradition in the capital. Every year in late April, the eldest princess of the dynasty will hold a banquet in the princess's mansion and invite all the children of aristocratic families in the capital who are thirteen years old or above to attend, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate children.
It was called a flower viewing banquet, but in fact it was a chance for couples to meet. Men and women sat at separate tables, and the mistresses of each mansion would also attend. If they saw a suitable match, they would ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, which led to some marriages.
Qin Lingyun had reached the age to attend the flower-viewing banquet, but the Wu'an Marquis's family was not well-known among the noble families, so she could not receive an invitation at all.
But the Zhenyuan General's Mansion would definitely receive the invitation. Li Jingwan had participated in it, and her half-sister was also invited last year when she turned thirteen.
Qin Lingyun's little face showed a look of grievance, "Aunt, Miss Cai and the others asked me if I would go. If I can't go, they will laugh at our Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
Li Jingwan frowned and said, "Who dares to laugh at you? Sister Yun, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Qin Lingyun immediately turned from worry to joy, smiling sweetly, "Thank you, aunt."
Of course Qin Lingyun had to go, because there was a "wonderful" marriage waiting for her there.
This time, not only will she not stop it, she will also help.
