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

After Mother Zhang left, Old Madam Qin asked Qin Guangyao and his sister, who were kneeling, to stand up.

"Brother Yao, Sister Yun, you were really reckless this time. Even if you blame Tang Qiaoyin for not considering you, she is pregnant with your own brother after all."

"We were wrong, great-grandmother." The two bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, but they felt disdainful in their hearts.

Old Madam Qin decided that some punishment must be given.

"Brother Yao, go back now and copy the Book of Filial Piety. You are not allowed to come out again today."

"Great-grandmother, but my aunt is coming soon, I..." He was worried and wanted to hear with his own ears whether Li Jingwan agreed to let him be adopted.

Otherwise it will be just like last time and it will be a false alarm.

"Don't worry, she will definitely agree today." Old Madam Qin knew what he was thinking, "This is what I agreed with her."

Qin Changzhou was still a little angry and scolded, "You just followed the instructions of your great-grandmother, and you still want to bargain?"

"My son doesn't dare." Qin Guangyao was a little afraid of him.

"Why are you standing there for so long?"

"Yes." Qin Guangyao saluted and ran away.

Old Madam Qin looked at Qin Lingyun again, her tone becoming heavier.

"Sister Yun, you are the oldest child in the mansion and Yao'er's sister. He is young and ignorant, and as a sister, you should persuade him instead of instigating him or even helping him do shameful things."

She was naturally aware of the character of her two great-grandsons, otherwise she would have lived in vain for so many years.

Qin Guangyao is impatient, brave but not wise, like Qin Changzhou, while Qin Lingyun is more like Tang Qiaoyin, thoughtful and good at taking advantage of situations to get things done.

It was clear that Qin Lingyun was the mastermind behind this incident.

But she was very smart and put all the blame on Qin Guangyao.

"Great-grandmother." Qin Lingyun's face tightened, "You misunderstood, I didn't..."

"You know whether you did it or not." Old Madam Qin didn't want to hear her explanation, so she raised her hand and waved, "You can go down too."

"From today on, you are not allowed to leave the yard for a month. You must reflect on yourself in your room and copy the "Women's Virtues" five times."

"Great-grandmother..." Qin Lingyun became anxious when she heard it.

How could she meet Chu Lin if she didn't go out for a month?

"It's fine if you ground me, but please allow me to go to Zhaoyun Temple to copy scriptures."

Madam Qin didn't agree and her face darkened.

"What's so great about copying scriptures? I heard from Li Jingwan that you copied the 'Sutra of Rebirth'. Your father is still alive and well, why would you copy these useless things? Just go there a few times for show."

Qin Lingyun still wanted to fight for it, but Qin Changzhou spoke up with an impatient tone, "Go back and reflect on yourself, and don't make the old lady angry."

His anger had not yet subsided, and Qin Lingyun did not dare to anger him, "Yes..."

As soon as she left, Qin Changzhou asked, "Grandma, do you want to invite my mother?"

When it comes to adoption, the elders need to be present.

"No need, we just need to settle this matter." Old Madam Qin felt tired when she thought of Sun's unreasonable behavior in Yuzhu Courtyard.

"Your mother never cares about anything. It doesn't matter whether she comes or not."

I’m afraid they’ll cause trouble.

After a while, Li Jingwan followed Zhang's mother in, "Madam, Lord Marquis."

Madam Qin was already a little tired, and she got straight to the point, "I asked you to come here to finalize the adoption."

"Last time we agreed that if Tang Qiaoyin gave birth to a son, he would be adopted, and if she gave birth to a daughter, Yao Ge'er and his sister would be adopted."

"You were also present at what happened today. Tang Qiaoyin had a miscarriage due to health reasons and lost her child. According to the agreement, Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er should have been adopted."

She was worried that Li Jingwan would find another excuse to refuse, so she raised her voice.

"You have been undecided about the eldest son for a long time, which has caused the second branch to lose two sons in a row. This is your dereliction of duty as the mistress of the Marquis's family. If you delay it any further, please ask the elders of the Marquis's clan to comment on whether you are right or wrong."

That means you have to follow the family rules.

Li Jingwan smiled, "Madam, you are worrying too much. You should know that I am a person who keeps my word."

"Since we have an agreement, we will naturally follow it. I agree to let Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er be adopted under my name."

"Really?" Old Madam Qin was a little surprised that she agreed so readily.

"Of course." Li Jingwan nodded and smiled at Qin Changzhou, "The Marquis is here too, he can serve as a witness."

Qin Changzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

What he had been planning since he returned to Beijing was finally settled.

At this moment, he felt that Li Jingwan looked a little more pleasing to the eye.

Madam Qin said, "Well, I will invite the clan elders to come to the mansion the day after tomorrow..."

"Wait a minute, old lady." Li Jingwan interrupted her, "Don't be so anxious."

"Do you want to go back on your word?" Old Madam Qin's face changed.

"How could that be? Don't misunderstand me, old lady." Li Jingwan smiled and said, "I just want to change the date."

"Next month is the Marquis' twenty-ninth birthday. As the saying goes, men turn nine and women turn ten. The Marquis' birthday this time will naturally be a grand one, with many guests to be invited, so it's best to hold the adoption ceremony on that day."

"When the time comes, the guests will immediately know that Yao Ge'er will be the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

Madam Qin's expression eased, "That's a good idea."

Holding the adoption ceremony when everyone is present can show the importance the Marquisate attaches to Yao Ge'er, and it can also let all the noble families in the capital know as quickly as possible that Qin Guangyao is the next Marquis of Wu'an.

"Changzhou, what do you think?" asked Old Lady Qin.

"My grandson agrees too." Qin Changzhou nodded. "If we adopt him at the birthday party, there's no need to notify him specifically. It's killing two birds with one stone. Besides, Brother Yao and Sister Yun will definitely be happy too."

He couldn't help but look at Li Jingwan. He didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.

"That's fine." Madam Qin made the decision, "Next month at Changzhou's birthday party, the adoption ceremony for Yao and Yun will be held on the spot. Jingwan, you will prepare these things together."

"Yes." Li Jingwan lowered her head slightly with a smile on her lips.

That day will definitely be exciting.

After Li Jingwan said goodbye and left, Old Lady Qin reminded Qin Changzhou, "You go out and see her off now."

Qin Changzhou had plans, "Grandma, I want to go see Qiaoyin."

"You can visit her anytime, there's no rush." ​​Old Madam Qin felt that her grandson was really slow in thinking.

"Li Jingwan agreed to be adopted. Next, Yao Ge'er will ask for the title of Crown Prince and inherit the title, and she will need his help. You have to have a good relationship with her and give her some sweet treats, then she will be willing to help you."

"Otherwise, it will be like the adoption, and you will give up again and again, which will make me upset."

"Grandson understands." Qin Changzhou nodded quickly, "I'll go right away."

After he lifted the door curtain and went out, Madam Zhang whispered, "Old Madam, I see that the Marquis is much more friendly to the Young Madam now. In the past, when you asked him to see the Young Madam off, he was unwilling to do so."

"After spending so much time together, we naturally have some feelings for each other." Old Madam Qin picked up the teacup and blew on it.

"Li Jingwan is indeed capable, talented, and pretty, and she does a good job as a mistress, but it's a pity that she is from the Li family."
