Aunt Zhou naturally remembered.

On the night of her miscarriage, Qin Changzhou came to see her but was quickly called away by Tang Qiaoyin.

The next day, Tang Qiaoyin deliberately boasted that Qin Changzhou stayed at her place last night.

If Tang Qiaoyin had not deliberately covered up for Qin Guangyao, who killed her son, he would have been punished today.

Since Tang Qiaoyin was against her, why couldn't she fight back given the new and old grudges?

After those people left, Youlanju became quiet.

Li Jingwan walked into the yard and smelled the fragrance of tuberose brought by the evening breeze.

"Bi Tao, go inform Yuzhuyuan that the Marquis will not be coming tonight."

Bitao quickly brought the news to Xiang'er and added a sentence at the end.

"Mrs. Zhou has gone back with the Marquis, and will be with him for the next few days."

"I know what to say." Xiang'er nodded.

"This is a reward from the young mistress." Bi Tao lowered her voice and took out a small red cloth bag filled with gold leaves and handed it to her.

Xiang'er's eyes lit up, "Bi Tao, thank the young madam for me first. I'll go over and kowtow to her when I find time."

At this time, Tang Qiaoyin's voice came from the room, "Xiang'er——"

Xiang'er agreed, "Auntie, I'll be right there."

She walked in quickly, "Aunt, you're awake."

"Help me up." Tang Qiaoyin had a piece of white cloth wrapped around her forehead and her body was still very weak.

Xiang'er did as she was told and placed a soft pillow behind her back.

"Auntie, would you like to eat something? Doctor Cao said that you can only eat after dinner..."

Tang Qiaoyin asked, "Where is the Marquis?"

Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "The Marquis didn't come."

"Didn't I ask you to go and invite them?" Tang Qiaoyin looked unhappy. "How do you do it?"

"Auntie, I left a long time ago. I went to the Marquis's courtyard before dinner. The Marquis said he was going to the Young Madam's courtyard for dinner and would come back later."

"I was worried that the Marquis had forgotten, so I went to Youlan Residence half an hour ago and asked Bi Tao to help pass on the message."

Xiang Er paused here, a little nervous, "Just now, Bi Tao came to tell me that... the Marquis went back drunk and said..."

"What else did you say?" Tang Qiaoyin shouted angrily, "Don't you know how to speak? Ask me a question and I'll say it!"

Xiang Er then said, "Bi Tao said that Aunt Zhou accompanied the Marquis. Seeing how much the Marquis likes Aunt Zhou, I guess he will let her accompany him these days."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Qiaoyin swept the teacup on the round stool beside the bed to the ground.

"That bitch Zhou! She took advantage of my poor health to seduce the Marquis! Cough cough cough..."

I was so excited that I started coughing violently.

"Auntie, please don't be angry and take care of yourself." Xiang'er patted her back quickly, "These days, the most important thing for you is to take good care of your health."

"I also heard something. The young mistress has agreed to let Yao Ge'er and Yun Jie'er be adopted by her."

"Really?" Tang Qiaoyin asked immediately.

"Yes." Xiang'er nodded, "It has spread throughout the mansion. The adoption ceremony will be held on the Marquis' birthday next month."

"It was Yao who harmed you, but not only was he not punished, he was even adopted." Xiang'er was very dissatisfied, "Aunt, the position of the eldest son should have been..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Qiaoyin interrupted her, "I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with Yao Ge'er."

Her children were finally adopted, but she had mixed feelings.

Although Qin Changzhou said that he would love her forever and let her become the mistress in the future.

But she is not a fool. If Qin Changzhou really only likes her, why would he take in three other concubines?

The title will soon belong to Qin Guangyao, so she must reconcile with Qin Guangyao as soon as possible.

Qin Changzhou's oath is unreliable.

The only person she can rely on in the future is her son.

-

Li Jingwan brought a carriage full of gifts back to the general's mansion and went to see her mother first.

Yao looked in much better spirits than last time, and Li Jingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, my mother was devastated by the death of my father and brother and became weak.

In this life, she came back from time to time to talk to her mother and searched everywhere for high-value supplements. In addition, Prince Jing asked Imperial Physician Wang to take her pulse regularly, and her mother's face became more and more radiant.

After the mother and daughter chatted for a few casual words, Li Jingwan told them that Qin Guangyao's siblings would be adopted next month.

"Jingwan, isn't it too early to give her up now?" Yao held her daughter's hand, distressed and worried, "Sooner or later you will have..."

Li Jingwan pulled her hand out and held hers with her backhand.

"Mother, I know my physical condition well. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to have children in the next few years. Having a child in my name can at least shut up other people."

"Did the people in the Marquis' Mansion force you..." asked Yao.

"No." Li Jingwan smiled, "You know my temper. No one can force me to do anything."

"Even if you were to adopt him, why didn't you choose your illegitimate son?" Yao frowned. "I heard that Qin Guangyao's behavior was very bad, and he killed a concubine's fetus a few days ago. Is this true?"

Although Old Madam Qin had repeatedly ordered not to tell anyone about Tang Qiaoyin, Li Jingwan had already found someone to spread the news in the capital.

Qin Guangyao's reputation is completely ruined. He can no longer find a famous teacher. Recently, he even dares not go to the clan school.

"It's hard to explain." Li Jingwan said ambiguously, "The aunt who was killed said it was her own fault, and the old lady also didn't allow us to talk about it."

"Forget it. It's not your child anyway. If he has a bad character, don't worry about him. When you give birth to a child in the future, he will be my grandson."

"Mother, don't worry, your daughter will take care of it."

As they were talking, Bi Tao came in hurriedly, "Madam, Madam, Prince Jing is here."

Chu Tingyu suddenly visited, and everyone in the general's mansion hurried to greet him.

Although Chu Tingyu was dressed in casual clothes, it could not conceal his noble aura.

"Everyone, please don't be polite. This time, the king is just visiting incognito, so there is no need to be formal."

Li Jingwan helped Yao up and was stunned when she saw the guards around Chu Tingyu.

It turned out to be Qi Ming.

Qi Ming's expression also changed.

Li Huirou, who was on the other side of Li Jingwan, couldn't help but say, "It's him."

Li Jingwan didn't have time to ask in detail, so she invited Chu Tingyu to go into the main hall and take a seat.

Chu Tingyu put down the teacup and spoke to Yao.

"Madam Li, I have been taught by General Li, and I am also a good friend of Ding Zheng. I am ashamed to be visiting you for the first time after returning to the capital for many days."

Yao quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is too modest. You have shown great kindness to the General's Mansion and even specially arranged for Doctor Wang to check my pulse every month."

"Mrs. Li, you're welcome. Please take a seat." Chu Tingyu said.

"Today, the king hastily visited me because I was discussing the northwest border defense at the Ministry of War. I thought of General Li and Ding Zheng, so I came here on the way. I didn't expect that the wife of Marquis Wu'an was also here."

Tianxi beside him widened his eyes slightly. Didn’t the prince know two days ago that Li Jingwan was going back to her parents’ home today?

Li Huirou couldn't hide her emotions and looked behind Chu Tingyu several times.

Chu Tingyu then asked, "Does Miss Li know Qi Ming?"
