Li Jingwan came to Fang's house with gifts.

Sure enough, as soon as she gave her name, Fang Liangji came out personally, invited her into the mansion, and ordered someone to serve tea.

Li Jingwan explained the reason and apologized sincerely, "Uncle Fang, this matter is all the responsibility of the Marquis' Mansion. As Qin Guangyao's aunt, I did not educate him well and let him get into trouble. Jingwan blames herself very much."

"Jingwan, this has nothing to do with you." Fang Liangji's attitude became more friendly when she called him "uncle". "He is not your son. You have no responsibility for him."

Li Jingwan nodded apologetically, "How is Sheng'er's injury? Uncle Fang, can you take me to see him?"

"It's just a cut on your head. The doctor checked it out and it's nothing serious. Brother Sheng hasn't seen you yet, so this is a good opportunity for you to meet him. Come on, I'll take you there."

Li Jingwan stood up and said, "Uncle Fang, Qin Guangyao should personally apologize to Sheng Ge'er for doing such a mistake. Why not call him over as well?"

"Forget it. I'll get angry when I see him." Fang Liangji didn't agree. "When you leave, just take him away. If he does it again next time, I won't let him off easily."

Fang Liangji had received favors from Li Beiwang and had always respected him, so this time he decided not to pursue the matter for the sake of the Li family's face.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang." Li Jingwan asked Cuiyu to go and pick up Qin Guangyao and put him in the carriage first, and she would come back later.

The people from the Fang residence took Cui Yu to the woodshed, and Qin Guangyao was locked up inside.

Seeing Cuiyu, Qin Guangyao, whose face had already been tearful, started to cry again. He hugged her arms in fear and said, "Sister Cuiyu."

He was covered in dirt and his face was filled with panic.

Normally he was pampered in the marquis's mansion and the clan school, but after encountering this incident today, he felt afraid.

Cuiyu brushed off the dust on him and said, "Yao'er, the young mistress is here to pick you up. Let me take you out first."

She took Qin Guangyao to the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, wiped his face, and fed him two glasses of water.

"Brother Yao, did they beat you?"

“No…no.” Qin Guangyao sobbed, completely losing his usual dignity, “But they threw me…to the ground, and locked me up.”

"No matter how I shouted... they ignored me, and even said... they would report me to the police... to arrest me..."

As he spoke he began to cry again.

Cui Xin patted his back and comforted him, "Okay, Yao'er, don't be afraid. When the young mistress heard that you were locked up, she was so anxious that she came here immediately."

"Where is my aunt?" Qin Guangyao's eyes were full of tears.

"She is still apologizing to Lord Fang. You hurt his only son, and he is very angry. He said that he will only let you go if the people from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion kneel down and apologize."

Qin Guangyao's eyes widened, "Then aunt..."

For the first time, he felt guilty towards Li Jingwan.

"For the sake of Wu'an Marquis's reputation, the young lady will not kneel, but she will have to smile. I was there just now, and it was the first time I saw the young lady speak so humbly."

"It's all my fault..." Qin Guangyao bit his lower lip, "I will never cause trouble for my aunt again."

He then asked, "Is it only my aunt who came? My uncle and great-grandmother didn't come?"

After being locked up, although he was afraid, he firmly believed that Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou would come to rescue him immediately.

In the end, only Li Jingwan came.

As soon as he asked, Li Jingwan got on the carriage and held his hand with concern to check on him.

"Brother Yao, are you not hurt?"

"No..." Qin Guangyao shook his head and said hesitantly, "Aunt, did they embarrass you?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Li Jingwan forced a smile, "As long as you're okay, nothing else matters."

"Aunt, I'm sorry. I have caused you trouble."

"What's the point of our family getting involved?" Li Jingwan patted his hands.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you. You should have come earlier. Something happened in the mansion. Aunt Tang suddenly fainted."

"Ah?" Qin Guangyao widened his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Li Jingwan smiled, "The doctor found out that Aunt Tang is pregnant."

Qin Guangyao felt uncomfortable and asked directly.

"Because she's pregnant, my great-grandmother and uncle won't come to pick me up?"

"Brother Yao, don't take it to heart. The old lady is old and it's inconvenient for her to go out. Your uncle will soon have another son or daughter, so it's normal for him to care more."

But he is also Qin Changzhou's biological son, and the eldest son. Qin Guangyao pursed his lips.

He was locked up and was even about to be sent to the government, but they refused to come just because Tang Qiaoyin was pregnant.

It's clear that she didn't take him to heart.

He was wrongly accused of adding musk into Aunt Zhou's incense burner, causing her to have a miscarriage, which resulted in him being punished and unable to find a teacher.

It was clearly his mother who did it, but she refused to prove his innocence.

Now my mother is pregnant and he is in prison, but no one remembers him.

The one who came to save him was Li Jingwan, whom they had always hated because of their mother.

Mother always said that Li Jingwan had usurped her position as mistress, preventing them from recognizing their father, and that Li Jingwan would harm them.

But after he entered the Marquis' Mansion three years ago, the person who treated him best was Li Jingwan.

He hired a famous teacher to teach him personally, and now he would rather lose face than save him.

Qin Guangyao lowered his head with mixed feelings.

Li Jingwan glanced at him and said nothing more.

The seeds of dissatisfaction had already been planted in his heart, and they were breaking through the soil. When they blossomed and bore fruit, the guilty people would have to bear the consequences.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Old Madam Qin hugged Qin Guangyao and called him her darling, asking about his well-being.

In the past, Qin Guangyao would have complained and acted like a spoiled brat, but today he was very silent.

"Brother Yao, did the people from the Fang Mansion give you any trouble? If they bully you, I will never let the Fang Mansion go."

"What will great-grandmother do?" Qin Guangyao suddenly asked, "Will great-grandmother personally seek justice for me?"

Madam Qin paused, "...let your aunt go. She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and these matters should be handled by her."

Qin Guangyao said nothing more. He lowered his head in disappointment and scratched his palm with his thumb.

Qin Changzhou rushed over after hearing the news and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine.

"Brother Yao, you were wrong this time. You caused trouble and made us worry. Don't be so reckless next time."

"Uncle, why didn't you come to pick me up?" Qin Guangyao looked up, his eyes red and swollen, "I've been waiting for you to come."

Qin Changzhou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and coughed.

"Aunt Tang is not feeling well and has been diagnosed with pregnancy. I need to stay with her."

Qin Guangyao became more and more disappointed.

"Okay, let's learn a lesson this time." Qin Changzhou changed the subject, "Come with me to see Aunt Tang."

"I'm not going." Qin Guangyao crawled out of Old Madam Qin's arms and turned his head to the side.

"Mrs. Tang is not feeling well. As a junior, why don't you go?"

"I just don't want to go."

Qin Changzhou's face darkened, and he was about to scold her, but Li Jingwan spoke first, "My Lord, Yao Ge'er must be tired after what he went through. Let him go back and rest first, and go visit Aunt Tang another day."

Madam Qin also agreed, "Mrs. Tang is in the mansion, and we can visit her anytime. Let Yao Ge rest first and get some rest."

Qin Changzhou had no choice but to agree.

At this time, in Prince Jing's Mansion, Chu Tingyu's face turned unhappy after listening to Xu Rui's story about what happened to him in Marquis Wu'an's Mansion.

"It's obvious that Aunt Tang deliberately framed me, and she had been planning this for a long time."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it." Xu Rui was playing with a medicine pestle in his hand.

"But you don't have to worry. I think Li Jingwan can handle it. She probably expected Aunt Tang to cause trouble and prepared a countermeasure in advance."

Chu Tingyu said in a deep voice, "The people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion are such assholes. Qin Changzhou is on the side of Auntie and doesn't know right from wrong. He is not worthy of being her husband."
