The four of them came to Aunt Zhou's yard and called all the maids out.

Aunt Liang continued what she had just said, looking unwilling.

"Young Madam, the old lady is too biased. Anyone who is not a fool can see that it was Qin Guangyao who did what happened today. But the old lady still spoke up for him."

"Last time, Concubine Zhou's child was also killed by Qin Guangyao. He killed the two children of the second wife, but the old lady still protected him."

The more Aunt Liang thought about it, the more scared she became. "If I hadn't given birth to Brother Fan earlier, he might have murdered me. He is such a demon."

She patted her chest and looked at Aunt Tong, bringing up something that was irrelevant.

"Aunt Tong, it's a good thing you didn't get pregnant, otherwise it would be hard to protect him..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Jingwan scolded in a low voice, "Don't be so blunt."

Seeing that Aunt Tong looked unhappy, Aunt Liang finally realized that she had touched her sore spot and her face turned embarrassed.

"Madam, I was wrong. I didn't think before I spoke..."

"Then say less, and be careful of the consequences of your words."

Aunt Zhou said, "Young Madam, Aunt Liang is right. Qin Guangyao is a devil. He did whatever it took to become the eldest son, but the old lady turned a blind eye..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, half angry and half hurt.

Li Jingwan sighed.

"Mrs. Tang said that it was her own health problems that led to the miscarriage, and the old lady believed her. I will remind you again that it is okay for you to complain to me in private now, but don't mention it again after you leave this room."

Her verbal warning was just a pretense, and this matter would definitely spread.

Aunt Zhou lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said nothing more.

Aunt Tong spoke at this time, with a somewhat puzzled tone.

"After Qin Guangyao and his sister returned home, I found that the old lady and the Marquis loved them very much. Even though the Marquis had Brother Fan, he still loved Brother Yao the most."

"Although Yao Ge'er is the only male in the first house, he is no match for the Marquis's own flesh and blood. Last time, he killed Aunt Zhou's child, but he was only punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day. The Marquis still helped him find famous teachers to be his tutor."

Aunt Liang was indignant when she thought about how her son was not valued. "If you don't know, you would think Yao Ge'er is the Marquis's biological son."

Li Jingwan suddenly laughed, "It's true. Last time, the old lady from the Duke of Ying's mansion came to attend the old lady's birthday banquet. She didn't know what was going on in the mansion, and she mistakenly thought that the Marquis and Yao Ge'er were father and son. She said that they looked alike, and she also said that Yun Jie'er looked more like the Marquis."

"It seems like they really look alike." Aunt Liang thought about it carefully and said dissatisfiedly, "Could it be that just because they look alike, you treat them as your own children?"

Li Jingwan continued to joke, "According to what you said, Aunt Tang should be Yao'er's biological mother. I think she and Yao'er are somewhat similar."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou raised her head, with a gleam of inquiry in her eyes.

"That's just her way of trying to please the old lady and the marquis." Aunt Liang said disdainfully, "She usually visits Yao'er and his sister and sends them snacks from time to time. Such a big thing happened today, and she still makes excuses for them."

"I feel like they knew each other before." Aunt Tong recalled something, "The day after Aunt Tang came into the mansion, I saw her talking to Yao Ge'er and she even wiped his sweat with a handkerchief."

There was a deeper look in Aunt Zhou's eyes, and it was obvious that these words made her suspicious.

Li Jingwan didn't continue talking and stopped there.

Given Aunt Zhou's suspicious character and her hatred for Qin Guangyao, she would not do nothing.

At this time in Yuzhu Courtyard, Xiang'er entered the bedroom carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Auntie, the medicine is ready, drink it and then rest."

Tang Qiaoyin was holding the unfinished embroidered baby clothes in her hands, her expression gloomy.

"Aunt, it's time to take your medicine." Xiang'er walked closer.

Tang Qiaoyin didn't even move her eyes. "Leave it there. Go out first."

Xiang'er did as she was told. When she left, she glanced inside, saw the tears on her face, and gently closed the door.

After the door closed, Tang Qiaoyin could no longer hold back. She buried her face in her clothes and cried bitterly, her heart aching.

She never expected that her own children would poison and kill her younger brother in order to be adopted.

But she had to protect them.

If the matter gets out of hand, the life stories of Qin Guangyao and his sister will inevitably be implicated.

By then, she will only be more miserable.

So, she took all the responsibility on herself, saved Qin Guangyao, and swallowed her anger.

Because she lost her second son, all her hopes could only be placed on Qin Guangyao again.

-

Fu Shou Tang.

Old Madam Qin dismissed the servants and kept only Qin Guangyao and his sister, ready to question them.

Before he could say anything, Qin Changzhou walked in angrily, and Si Shun had already told him the whole story.

"Rebellious son!" Qin Changzhou slapped Qin Guangyao directly.

"Changzhou, stop." Old Lady Qin shouted.

"Dad." Qin Lingyun quickly grabbed Qin Changzhou, "Stop fighting."

Qin Guangyao was so scared that he burst into tears and quickly hid behind Old Madam Qin.

"You are not even human. You don't even let your own brother go!" Qin Changzhou was furious. "You are so young, but you have such a vicious heart."

"Dad..." Qin Guangyao cried, "It's not me, it's Mom herself..."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Qin Changzhou didn't believe it and pointed at Qin Lingyun and said, "Si Shun saw someone from your hospital go to the pharmacy to buy medicine the day before yesterday. Now call him over and ask him and you'll know."

Qin Lingyun's face turned pale. She didn't expect to be discovered.

"Dad, I...I'm thinking about my brother..."

Qin Guangyao suddenly found the courage and walked up to Qin Changzhou and knelt down.

"Dad, ever since Mom got pregnant, she no longer cares about me. She said that the son she gave birth to is the future Marquis of the Marquisate. She doesn't care whether I am adopted or not. She only cares about her unborn son."

"My sister and I were bullied and ridiculed because we were the children of a concubine's wife, and our mother didn't care at all. She was the one who didn't want us first."

Qin Changzhou was still angry, but he did not attack again.

Qin Lingyun knelt down and cried, "Dad, if my brother doesn't adopt me, my life will be over. It's the same for me. I can't marry into a noble family."

"We went to ask our mother to let us adopt her because we had suffered so much for so many years, but she refused, saying she already had a son."

Qin Changzhou's expression relaxed.

Old Madam Qin's eyes turned red and she sighed.

"Changzhou, the two children did suffer a lot outside, and they also suffered a lot of grievances after returning home because they had no status. This matter is also our fault, and we have been dragging it on."

"Things can't be delayed any longer, we have to do it and settle it as soon as possible." Old Lady Qin made up her mind and called Mother Zhang in.

"Go and inform the young mistress now to come to me immediately."

Qin Guangyao and Qin Lingyun looked at each other secretly, with a look of success in each other's eyes.

It was worth it that they finally got what they wanted after all the hard work.
