Chapter 29 I Will Take Care of My Sister-in-law

It would be a dream to buy such a large mansion in Yanjing City with 50,000 taels of silver.

One hundred thousand taels is actually considered a small amount.

It was only because Old Lady Yan didn't want this matter to be known to everyone that she finally chose to compromise.

The most important thing is that she felt that the land deed was in Qin Mingzhu's hands, and she would have a chance to get it back sooner or later.

However, Mrs. Qin's second condition really made Mrs. Yan's face even uglier.

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I absolutely don't agree!"

Madam Yan was resolute. She looked at Qin Mingzhu and said, "My son passed away not long ago. I don't want to worry about my grandson wandering around. If you want to go back to your parents' home and live for a while, that's fine. But you have to wait until the child is born."

Qin Mingzhu raised her head and met Madam Yan's gaze.

There seemed to be a knife hidden in her dark eyes that could see through everything, which made Madam Yan feel a little uncomfortable.

"What if Mingzhu insists on going back?"

Madam Yan's expression darkened completely. "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qin Mingzhu's eyes flickered for a moment: "Could it be that the old lady is planning to divorce me?"

"Try taking a step outside the Marquis' Mansion!"

Madam Yan's voice gradually became colder.

The threat in his tone was already evident.

Madam Qin and General Qin's mood froze instantly. Feeling Madam Yan's tough attitude, they looked at each other.

Although Mrs. Qin looks weak, she is efficient and effective in her work.

She suddenly gritted her teeth, grabbed Qin Mingzhu's wrist and walked out.

"Just leave it, and go with mother..."

Qin Mingzhu was being pulled by someone, and the family of three was about to step out of the lobby door.

Madam Yan said in a cold voice, "Think carefully, my two relatives. What you are doing today is totally unreasonable. If you take your daughter away now, your Qin family will be ruined and have no place to stand in the capital! She is a concubine who was divorced from the Marquis's mansion, and she is pregnant with my son's child. Who will want her in the future? Don't forget, your daughter is only eighteen years old!"

Mrs. Qin paused.

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

The fingers holding Qin Mingzhu were trembling slightly.

She glanced sideways at Qin Mingzhu's belly and almost bit her lip. She looked at her daughter distressedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "Mingzhu..."

Yes, their daughter just turned eighteen.

If she and her husband's bodies could still hold on, they would not have married their daughter off so early.

I originally thought that Yan Qinghao was a good person and a modest gentleman. The Marquis' Mansion was clean and had a good reputation. My daughter would have a backer in the future. In addition, since the general had saved the old Marquis, her life in the Marquis' Mansion should not be bad.

But now it seems that she was blind and had misjudged the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as the daughter's husband died, the old lady's true colors were revealed. With such a strong mother-in-law, the daughter will definitely suffer in the future.

She is forcing her daughter into the fire pit!

But now, if I really take my daughter away from the Marquis' Mansion, how will she live in the future when she is still young... How can she bear other people's eyes? What will happen to my daughter when she and the general are gone!

"or……"

Madam Qin really hesitated. Even though she was filled with anger, she had to think carefully and consider the consequences...

The corners of Old Lady Yan's mouth curled up.

A marquis's mansion is still a marquis's mansion after all.

The Qin family is a down-and-out family, and they want to take advantage of her? What a joke!

As a mother-in-law, it would be easy for her to find a reason to divorce Qin Mingzhu. Although she would not do so lightly, if the Qin family really did not know how to deal with the current situation, then don't blame her for taking ruthless action.

Pregnant with her Yan family's child, where else could Qin Mingzhu run to? She wanted to make sure there was no place for her in the entire capital!

However, Qin Mingzhu was not worried about this problem.

She gently touched her belly and saw her mother staring at her with red eyes. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled with ease.

"Mom, my daughter is naturally beautiful, how could no one want her... Even if no one wants her, my daughter can still live a good life."

Madam Yan snorted coldly, and seeing Madam Qin's hesitant expression, her words softened a little.

She knew how to strike the right balance and used both soft and hard tactics.

"Madam Qin, Mingzhu is my daughter-in-law after all. I didn't let her leave for the sake of her reputation. As long as she stays quietly in the Marquis' Mansion, I will not make things difficult for her. I will treat her well and even personally ask for a chastity archway for her to make her famous. We are in-laws, so why are you forcing me like this?"

Qin Mingzhu glanced at the old lady.

What is a chastity arch?

That thing is not a good thing. It is equivalent to completely restraining her.

"You're joking. You should keep this chastity arch for yourself. Mingzhu is unworthy of it."

"You girl..."

Before Madam Yan could finish her words, a low and magnetic voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"It's time to give one to the old lady."

The sound came from the main courtyard entrance.

A moment later, they arrived at the lobby door.

The servants who delivered the message could not keep up with him. They waited until Yan Fengxiao came in with big strides before running hurriedly to the old lady.

"Yan... Governor Yan is here!"

The servant who brought the news sounded a little weak when he said this.

After all, everyone has already arrived in front of the old lady.

At this time, Old Madam Yan was still standing in front of the main throne. When she saw Yan Fengxiao barging into the Marquis' Mansion with a number of people without even saying hello, her face became extremely ugly for a moment.

"What does the governor mean?"

Yan Fengxiao was wearing a dark brocade robe, and the cuffs embroidered with elegant bamboo patterns fluttered slightly. He raised his hand and presented a token in his hand to the old lady.

"This Governor has been ordered to investigate the Northern Frontier spy. Qing'an's identity has been thoroughly investigated, and he has revealed many accomplices within the Marquisate. Therefore, I have specially brought people to arrest him today. Please, Madam, please do not interfere."

Madam Yan's body stiffened. "How is this possible!"

Her eyes were a little dazed, and her legs even felt weak as she sat down on the chair.

Yan Fengxiao didn't look at her for long, but turned around and saluted General Qin and Madam Qin.

"Feng Xiao greets General Qin and Madam Qin!"

That respectful attitude made General Qin feel a little at a loss for a moment. After all, he had retired from the court for five years and things were different now.

The person in front of him was a favorite of the current emperor and a big shot in charge of the military power in Yanjing. He was so polite that even General Qin felt a little embarrassed.

"Commander Yan is too polite. I should be the one to pay my respects to you. Please forgive me for the inconvenience..."

"Feng Xiao has long heard of General Qin's name. He was once someone Feng Xiao admired. You are worthy of this gift."

After Yan Fengxiao finished speaking, he slowly stood up. The tall and straight man cast a long shadow under the sunlight, which fell right on Qin Mingzhu, making her a little dazed.

Afterwards, the two looked at each other, and Qin Mingzhu watched helplessly as the other party said in front of the Yan family and the Qin family couple: "If the Yan family divorces my wife, I will support my sister-in-law."
