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

Yao was so angry that she trembled at Madam Qin's shameless words.

"You did something wrong, and you still want to detain my daughter, you..."

"Mom, don't get excited." Li Jingwan was worried that she would get sick from anger, as she had just recovered from her illness.

She stepped forward, put her arm around Yao's shoulders, and lowered her voice to comfort her.

"Don't worry, mother. I will take care of it. You trust me."

Yao looked up and met her calm eyes, and her excitement slowly subsided.

But how could Li Langqing tolerate this?

"Bullshit your ancestors! You are all traitors in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. You relied on my eldest sister to obtain and keep the title, and then tricked her into adopting you, wanting her to help Qin Changzhou raise his illegitimate children. You are the most shameless in the world."

He practiced martial arts with veteran soldiers like Zhu Gaozhi in the general's mansion, and his eloquence skills also improved.

"You are a bunch of prostitutes and thieves in this mansion, you are so shameless. You dare to call yourselves a family of scholars? You have the nerve to say these words with your stinky mouths that can only spew shit. Take a piss and look in the mirror! I am going to vomit my overnight meal after hearing this."

Li Jingwan felt very comfortable hearing this.

It was the first time that Old Madam Qin was scolded in person, and the person who scolded her was a junior, so she immediately felt embarrassed.

"You...you are so brave! Li Jingwan, is this what your Li family taught you?!"

"The children of the Li family are upright and have the courage to take responsibility for their actions." Li Jingwan smiled, "Lang Qing is just telling the truth, so why not?"

"Li Jingwan!" Qin Changzhou's face turned pale. "How dare you speak to my grandmother like that? How disrespectful!"

"'What a disgrace'?" Li Jingwan found it funny. "Qin Changzhou, are you worthy of saying these words?"

Only then did Qin Changzhou realize that Li Jingwan was so sharp-tongued. She seemed like a different person from the usually gentle and docile one.

"Jingwan, this is your fault." An elder of the Qin family said dissatisfiedly, "As the mistress, how can you..."

"I am the mistress, but I am also a human being." Li Jingwan interrupted with a cold face, not giving any face at all, "If this happened in your family, would you still be able to sit and talk without any pain in your waist?"

"You..." He really couldn't refute.

Li Jingwan didn't want to waste time arguing with them in such a meaningless way, so she said to the door, "Bring the person in."

Then, Tang Qiaoyin was brought in with the left side of her face wrapped in white cloth.

As soon as she entered the room, Tang Qiaoyin immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Old Madam, Marquis, Young Madam, I am wronged, I..."

Li Jingwan scolded, "Shut up."

She looked at Qin Changzhou, then turned her gaze to Qin Guangyao. Both of them turned their heads away, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Qin Changzhou, I'm going to ask you one last time, is Qin Guangyao your and Tang Qiaoyin's biological son?"

"No." Qin Changzhou denied it flatly, but he felt unconfident.

Even though they had kept the matter secret, he always felt that Li Jingwan knew a lot.

"Okay." Li Jingwan was not angry. This was the answer she expected.

She deliberately asked in front of the elders from both the Li and Qin families before she could say the following words.

"Tang Qiaoyin, you said you were wronged. Let me ask you the same question again. Tell me about your experiences in the past eight years, where you lived, who your neighbors were, and I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Tang Qiaoyin could not say anything, she believed that Li Jingwan would definitely investigate. Lies made up at random would be exposed soon.

She just lowered her head and said the same words, "Madam, I was wronged..."

"If you don't say it, it means you agree."

Li Jingwan then said, "The elders from both sides are here and have heard it with their own ears. It's not that I'm making trouble, but there is something fishy about this matter and we must investigate it."

"This matter is also related to the bloodline of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, so I have sent someone to report it to the Imperial Clan Bureau. When the Imperial Clan Bureau investigates, I would like to ask you to be witnesses. I am not making trouble out of nothing, but I have to investigate."

This is her purpose.

Although the Zongrenfu was in charge of matters related to the royal family and titles, under normal circumstances, it adopted a management model of "no action without complaint".

Only if someone takes the initiative to report it will the clan affairs office send someone to confirm it. If there is indeed doubt, an investigation will be launched.

Therefore, Li Jingwan was worried that if the elders of the Qin family obstructed and insisted that nothing had happened, the clan government might give up the investigation.

She didn't want the support of the Qin family's elders, she just wanted them not to object.

As soon as Li Jingwan finished speaking, several elders of the Li family took the lead in expressing their opinions.

"We were all there and can attest to that."

When Old Madam Qin wanted the elders of the Qin family to support her, the officials sent by the clan office arrived and came to the marquis's mansion to find out the situation.

Although both Madam Qin and Qin Changzhou said that the matter was a misunderstanding, when the officials asked several elders of the Qin family, they were unable to agree.

Tang Qiaoyin's attitude indeed shows that this matter is not simple.

Although they all have the surname "Qin", the Li family is not easy to mess with.

If they stand on Qin Changzhou's side and the truth is discovered later, there is no guarantee that they will not be implicated.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Old Madam Qin became angry and anxious.

"If Yao Ge'er is Changzhou's son, why bother to have him adopted? Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly adopt him from a concubine's son to the eldest son?"

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Old Madam, you should know best why not to do this."

Old Madam Qin's expression changed.

"Do you know?" asked the official from the clan affairs office.

Li Jingwan said, "I'm just guessing."

"You said."

Li Jingwan nodded slightly, "The prince of the Marquisate back then was Qin Chongxiao. According to the rules of succession, if he didn't have a blood-related eldest son, his title would be taken back."

"So Qin Changzhou pretended that Qin Guangyao was Qin Chongxiao's son in order to keep his title. But the identity of Qin Guangyao's biological mother is unknown, and she was identified as a concubine by the clan office. As the son of a concubine, Qin Guangyao cannot inherit the title."

"But the emperor showed mercy and allowed Qin Changzhou to inherit the title of Marquis of Wu'an. They then tried to have Qin Guangyao adopted by me, making him the eldest son and still able to inherit the title."

She said it word for word, which made Old Lady Qin and Qin Changzhou even more panicked.

The subordinate noticed their expressions, understood what was happening, and made the decision immediately.

"Since there are doubts about this matter, according to regulations, the clan government will intervene in the investigation. The relevant people will go to the clan government tomorrow morning and the clan leader will review it. There should be no delay."

The chief of the clan was usually the emperor's brother. If he reviewed the case, the matter would most likely reach the emperor's ears.

If the emperor asks about this, the consequences will be...

Old Madam Qin felt a sharp pain in her heart and almost fainted again.

It was a flawless plan, but it turned out to be like this.

If Li Jingwan hadn't obstructed them at the beginning and driven those two people away, how could these things have happened?

"Li Jingwan! Are you crazy?"

As soon as the official left, Old Madam Qin yelled, "Are you going to destroy the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?"

Li Jingwan just thought it was ridiculous and asked, "Old Madam, don't you want to destroy me?"
