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

As expected, Madam Qin said, "Jingwan, you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. I have thought about this matter, and you have to do it."

"Go to your storeroom and pick out some valuable gifts and personally deliver them to the Fang Mansion. Fang Liangji won't embarrass you for the sake of the Li family. Even if he does, just grit your teeth and bear it, and it will pass."

"Changzhou is a marquis. He cannot go to Fang Mansion to be humiliated no matter what. Otherwise, if the news gets out, his official career will be affected. He represents the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion."

Li Jingwan sneered in her heart. Old Madam Qin and Qin Changzhou were indeed as despicable as she thought.

Why should she be humiliated?

Old Madam Qin is still making arrangements.

"By doing this, Fang Liangji can calm down and save the reputation of the Marquisate. So it's best if you go. Go and choose the gifts quickly, and pick two more. Fang Liangji is a rough man, he must like good things."

After saying that, she winked at Qin Changzhou.

Qin Changzhou rarely softened his tone, "Jingwan, I'm sorry to have wronged you this time. I will personally take you to Fang Mansion later."

Looking at the calculating faces of the grandparents and grandchildren, Li Jingwan just felt disgusted.

"My Lord, Madam, Jingwan is just a woman, how can she represent the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion? If I really ask them to apologize, they will think that the Marquis' Mansion is not sincere enough and will be even more dissatisfied."

"Also, although I am the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, I am not Yao'er's mother. After all, he is from the first wife's house, and I am the young mistress of the second wife's house. What position do I have?"

"Jing Wan thinks that it is safest for the old lady to go. After all, you are the old lady of the Marquisate, the most honorable one. Would the Fang family dare to embarrass you, a lady of the imperial family? If you go, the Fang family will feel that the Wu'an Marquisate is truly apologetic."

These words left Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou speechless.

Madam Qin's eager expression changed, "Li Jingwan, you don't want to go?"

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm unable to do so." Li Jingwan looked at Qin Changzhou.

"My Lord, please switch places and think about it. If Brother Fan was hit on the head, and the other party sent a mistress to apologize, do you think the other party is sincere?"

This does make sense, but Qin Changzhou couldn't answer it.

"Please understand, madam." Li Jingwan lowered her head slightly.

"I will ask the housekeeper to prepare gifts now to advance the mansion's expenses for next month. By then, the various courtyards in the mansion will need to cut back on spending. Let the old lady know in advance."

You want to use her dowry to apologize? No way.

Old Madam Qin was so angry that her teeth were itching. As soon as she went out, she threw the teacup to the ground.

"I'm still alive, and she's disobeying her elders! Changzhou, you're her husband, why don't you dare to discipline her?!"

Qin Changzhou was helpless, "Grandma, what she said does make sense. If she doesn't want to go, are we going to put a knife to her neck and force her to go?"

"Madam, please think of a solution quickly." Tang Qiaoyin rushed out.

Before Li Jingwan came, she hid behind the screen. When she heard Li Jingwan's refusal, her face was full of hatred.

"Madam, Yao Ge'er is still in the hands of the enemy. I don't know how much torture he will suffer. If the Fang family sends him to Yingtian Prefecture, Yao Ge'er will not be able to participate in the imperial examination, and his life will be ruined."

"I just said it, but Li Jingwan refused." Old Madam Qin was annoyed. "I feel sorry for Yao Ge'er too. Do you really want Changzhou to kowtow to Fang Mansion and admit his mistakes, and be humiliated?"

She couldn't allow the reputation of Wu'an Marquisate to be damaged.

Tang Qiaoyin felt a pain in her heart. She hated Li Jingwan, but she also blamed Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou.

For the sake of their reputation, these two people were unwilling to go to Fang Mansion in person to pick up their son.

"What should we do?" Tang Qiaoyin pulled Qin Changzhou and cried, "My dear Yao, I am so heartbroken. Please don't get into any trouble. If anything happens to you, I will not live anymore."

"Only Li Jingwan can go." Old Madam Qin refused to give in. Looking at the crying Tang Qiaoyin, she suddenly changed her tone.

"Changzhou is right. We can't put a knife to Li Jingwan's neck and force her to go. Unless she makes a mistake and is caught. By then, she will be the one who is wrong, and she won't dare to refuse."

Tang Qiaoyin stopped crying.

Since Li Jingwan is so cruel, her plan will be implemented in advance.

-

Li Jingwan returned to Youlanju, called the housekeeper, told him about a few valuable gifts, and asked him to buy them now.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Li Jingwan saw Bitao pouting and not saying anything.

"The old lady and the marquis are going too far." Bitao and Cuiyu were waiting outside the main hall and heard their conversation.

Cui Yu, who was always calm, was also angry at this moment. "Miss, it was obviously Yao who made the mistake, but they asked you to apologize and be humiliated. The people in the Marquis' Mansion are really... really shameless."

"It's not the first day I know who they are. Why should I be angry?" Li Jingwan smiled indifferently, "They are scoundrels. I won't take them on."

As he was speaking, a maid came in and reported that Xu Rui had arrived.

Li Jingwan invited him in, and after sending everyone else away, she took Xu Rui to Lin's room.

After the treatment, Li Jingwan asked Cuiyu to send Xu Rui out.

Xu Rui did things neatly and quickly. He picked up the medicine box and said, "No need. I know how to get there."

Li Jingwan was already familiar with his style of doing things, so she didn't insist.

Not long after walking out of Youlanju, Xu Rui was stopped by someone.

Tang Qiaoyin and several servants stopped him, "Stop."

"What's the matter?" Xu Rui asked.

"I suspect you and the young mistress are having an affair, so I'm going to search you now."

Xu Rui remained calm, "You are not sick, are you?"

Tang Qiaoyin was choked. "Don't...don't try to quibble! You and the young mistress secretly met and even exchanged tokens. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"When and where?" Xu Rui asked back.

"Last time, you came to Youlan Residence, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Tang Qiaoyin didn't want to waste time, so she ordered her servants, "Hold him down and search him."

Seeing that Xu Rui was tall, she was afraid that he would resist, so she whispered to a servant beside her, "Hold him down, don't let him run away."

The servants were about to rush forward, but Xu Rui took a step back and put down the medicine box.

"Just one person can search you, don't waste my time."

Tang Qiaoyin was a little surprised that he would cooperate so well. She pointed at someone and said, "Go search."

She walked to the medicine box and said, "Search the medicine box too."

"Don't mess up the things inside." Xu Rui reminded.

Tang Qiaoyin opened the medicine box, and while everyone else was staring at Xu Rui, she shook out a handkerchief from her sleeve and held it in her hand.

Then she shouted, "Found it, there's a handkerchief in the medicine box."

She stood up and shook out her handkerchief.

"It's embroidered with orchids. The young lady embroiders orchids on every handkerchief. This is the token of love from the young lady to you!"

"Take him to Fuhe Hall and report to the old lady!"
