Qin Guangyao was lying on the bed playing with toys, waiting for the good news that Li Jingwan agreed to let him be adopted.

As a result, Qin Lingyun rushed in with an angry face and told him the conversation between Old Madam Qin and Li Jingwan.

"My great-grandmother lied to me!" Qin Guangyao was so angry that he threw the thing in his hand to the ground.

"She clearly said that I am the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion. Why should I adopt that little bastard just because my mother gave birth to a son?"

Qin Lingyun was so angry that her face darkened. "No, if mother gives birth to a son, you and I will always be born out of wedlock, and our lives will be over."

"Sister, what should we do?" Qin Guangyao was extremely anxious when he thought that his position as the eldest son would be taken away by someone else. "How about we go find father?"

"Even my great-grandmother is unreliable, let alone my father." Qin Lingyun disagreed, "Father has always listened to my great-grandmother. Now that she has agreed to Li Jingwan's proposal, my father dare not object."

"Are we just going to sit there and wait?" Qin Guangyao dropped his pillow in anger.

He had a naturally irritable temper, but after returning home and being disciplined by Li Jingwan, he changed a lot.

But Li Jingwan no longer cared about him, and his temper returned to normal.

Qin Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find mom. We can both go and beg her to give up the baby. If she is determined not to give birth to a son who has been adopted, it will be useless for Li Jingwan to force her."

"But mother...will she agree?" Qin Guangyao was not sure.

"She must agree." Qin Lingyun's face no longer had the usual sensible and lovely look, but was replaced by a ferocious look.

"Then let's go now." Qin Guangyao couldn't wait any longer.

"No rush." ​​Qin Lingyun shook her head. "Go secretly at night and don't let anyone find out. Great-grandmother told Li Jingwan that this matter cannot be told to others, and she also asked me not to tell anyone."

"Okay." Qin Guangyao could only wait.

As the two were discussing, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Guangyao's servant said outside the door, "Master, Miss Cuiyu is here."

Qin Guangyao looked at Qin Lingyun, and when he saw her nod, he said, "Come in."

The servant opened the door and Cuiyu came in with something in her hands, smiling, "Miss Yun is here too."

Qin Lingyun nodded, "Come and see Brother Yao."

"Master Yao, are you feeling better?" Cui Yu put something on the table. "Young Madam knew you were ill, so she specially picked some supplements for me to bring to you."

"Much better." Qin Guangyao coughed twice deliberately, "Sister Cuiyu, thank my aunt for me."

"Master Yao, you are too polite." Cui Yu smiled and looked at Qin Lingyun again, "Sister Yun is here, and I am here to pass on a message for the Madam."

"What's the matter, aunt?"

"The young mistress said that the silk shop has received a new batch of goods. She wants to take you to the shop this afternoon to select the ones you like first and make two sets of summer clothes."

Li Jingwan's silk shop purchases its silk goods from Jiangnan. The fabrics are all fashionable and very popular in the capital. Qin Lingyun also likes them very much.

Every time Li Jingwan said she wanted to take her to the shop, she would immediately agree no matter what she was doing.

But she had to go find Tang Qiaoyin tonight, and she had to coordinate with Qin Guangyao and discuss what to say in the evening, so she really didn't have time.

"Aunt is so nice." Qin Lingyun smiled apologetically.

"It's just that Yao Ge'er is sick, and I want to stay and take care of him today. Sister Cuiyu, please thank my aunt for her kindness on my behalf."

Cuiyu nodded, "Miss Yun and Master Yao have a deep relationship as siblings, the young mistress will definitely understand."

After handing over the things, she returned to Youlanju and told Li Jingwan Qin Lingyun's reply, and added one more sentence.

"Miss, I saw Yao Ge'er's toys thrown on the ground. They had been smashed. The bedside was also messy, as if he was angry."

"Because they already know that Madam Qin accepted my proposal." Li Jingwan affirmed, "Soon, they will go to Tang Qiaoyin to plead for mercy."

"Miss, how do you know?" Bi Tao asked curiously.

"Qin Lingyun returned to Fuhe Hall from Yaoge'er's courtyard with Old Madam Qin. When I went in, I only saw Old Madam Qin. And she looked at the screen several times while she was talking. Qin Lingyun must have been hiding behind the screen."

"Qin Guangyao used a cruel trick to force Madam Qin to force me to agree to adopt them, but Madam Qin accepted my proposal, and their hopes were dashed for the time being."

"Old Madam Qin can't help them, and Qin Changzhou can't be relied on either. They can only go to Tang Qiaoyin."

There were fresh flowers picked from the garden on the table. Li Jingwan reached out and stroked a green leaf.

"So, now they can only ask Tang Qiaoyin to give up on her own initiative."

"Miss, will Tang Qiaoyin agree?" Cui Yu asked.

"No." Li Jingwan smiled, "Because I will go find her first."

-

Since becoming pregnant, Tang Qiaoyin has become sleepy and needs to sleep for an hour or two after lunch.

After waking up, she felt a little thirsty but didn't want to move, so she called Xiang'er in to pour her some water.

The door was pushed open, and it was Li Jingwan who came in, "Aunt Tang, you're awake."

Tang Qiaoyin's still somewhat hazy mind immediately came to her senses, "Young Madam..."

"No need to get up." Li Jingwan stopped her, "I'll pour the water."

Tang Qiaoyin had no choice but to sit on the bedside and carefully took the teacup that Li Jingwan handed to her. "Thank you, Madam. Madam, why are you here?"

"I have something to talk to you about. I just happened to hear you calling Xiang'er."

Seeing that she didn't move, Li Jingwan deliberately asked, "Why don't you drink it? Are you afraid that there is musk in the water?"

Sure enough, Tang Qiaoyin's face turned pale.

"Just kidding, drink it." Li Jingwan walked back to the table, poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.

Tang Qiaoyin drank half of the cup and held it in her hand, "What does Young Madam want to talk to me about?"

"I have something good to tell you." Li Jingwan said with a smile, "The old lady came to me today to discuss the adoption again."

"You know, I've been taking care of my body for several years but it hasn't improved. Maybe it's because I don't have many children, so I don't want to delay the adoption."

Tang Qiaoyin clenched the cup.

"The old lady has always wanted to adopt Yao as her eldest son. I have taken care of Yao for three years and have feelings for him, but he is not the Marquis's bloodline after all."

Tang Qiaoyin hurriedly said, "Madam, Yao Ge'er is a good boy, smart, filial, and good at studying."

"Oh, you know that so clearly?" Li Jingwan asked in confusion, "You have only been in the mansion for a short time, how did you know that?"

Tang Qiaoyin immediately regretted her carelessness and said, "I heard it from the old lady and the marquis."

"He is smart, but he has behaved badly recently. He beat up Brother Fan and caused Aunt Zhou to have a miscarriage. If we adopt him, the other aunts will be disappointed."

What are Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liang? Tang Qiaoyin cursed in her heart. Could it be that Li Jingwan regarded them as more important than her own son?

"So, after discussing with the old lady, I made a decision."

Tang Qiaoyin began to get nervous, "What decision?"

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that? I'm telling you something good, and it's naturally related to you."

"If you give birth to a boy, then he will be adopted as the eldest son. If you give birth to a girl, then Yao Ge'er will be adopted."

Tang Qiaoyin widened her eyes and sat up straight unconsciously, spilling the water in the cup.

"Madam, are you...really?" She spoke incoherently, "This...decision..."

"Really?" Li Jingwan smiled and nodded, "Do you agree?"
