Jing Shengwen seized on the fact that Ying Nianrong almost caused Danruo to have a miscarriage and repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to divorce her.

Ran said disdainfully: "You and Aunt Sun actually dared to embezzle the bride's dowry. You really bring shame to the people of Jing'en Marquis Mansion.

A while ago, the affair between you and the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion caused a lot of controversy. Now you want to divorce your wife just one month after the wedding. You can treat the marriage as a joke, but there is no such man in the Jing'en Marquis' Mansion.

Since you insist, why not live in separate houses?"

Jing Shengwen didn't expect that the Ran family actually wanted to separate him from the family. He looked at Marquis Jing'en for help.

Marquis Jing'en thought about how the young lady had refused to be with him for some time.

It was because he had heard a lot of bad things about the Marquis' Mansion in the market, and he felt that if he agreed to it, he would be like walking into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

If even ordinary people think that the Marquis' Mansion is not good, then the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion must not be affected again.

He looked at Jing Shengwen dissatisfiedly:

"It was you and Aunt Sun who insisted on marrying Ying Nianrong. You even canceled the marriage proposal from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, bringing disgrace to the Marquis's Mansion. Now you're rushing to divorce her. You don't care about the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion at all."

Jing Shengwen scratched his head:

"But she was wrong, and outsiders can understand that."

Marquis Jing'en slapped him on the shoulder, feeling very disappointed:

"Why, do you still want to spread the news about the quarrels and discord between the sisters-in-law in your house?"

Jing Shengwen subconsciously wanted to ask Aunt Sun for advice, but Aunt Sun's position was vacant. Jing Shengwen felt like he had lost his soul, so he had to say that he would not divorce his wife.

But Ying Nianrong's eyes were already dead, and her heart was filled with resentment towards Jing Shengwen. If Jing Shengwen had not plotted against her, she would not have targeted Dan Ruo, and would not have alarmed the Duke of Ying to come to the mansion to recognize Dan Ruo.

At least her support, the Yingguo Mansion, was still there, but now she has lost everything.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stay in the position of Jing Shengwen's wife for much longer.

It would be better to destroy Jing Shengwen, so that she can be completely tied to him and live under the protection of the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of her life.

At this time, Jing Ruchen sent Dan Ruo back to rest and returned to the meeting place.

Marquis Jing'en looked at Ran and said, "Sheng Wen will not divorce me. I am not dead yet. There is absolutely no reason for him to separate his illegitimate son."

Jing Shengwen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was still in the Marquis' Mansion, he still had a chance.

There is nothing to be afraid of when you don’t even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl in the womb.

Even if it is a boy, it is easy to kill a child.

Jing Ruchen could naturally guess what he was thinking.

He had known since he was a child that Marquis Jing'en was partial to someone. For the sake of the Marquis's mansion's reputation, he could turn a blind eye to Jing Shengwen's little tricks.

But now that he has a weak spot, he naturally has to nip any danger in the bud.

So soon after Marquis Jing'en finished speaking, Jing Ruchen said coldly:

"What if the illegitimate son plots to murder the legitimate son? Father, should we separate him, or should I send him before the authorities now?"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

Ran anxiously pulled Jing Ruchen, with bloodshot eyes:

"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me if you were hurt?"

Marquis Jing'en's face was dark, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. His hands were clenched into fists under his robe, and he looked like a man who was about to kill his brothers and destroy his family.

Jing Shengwen's face was pale, and he forced himself to say, "Brother, please don't slander me."

"A few months ago, when I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I was seriously injured. You asked someone to pretend to be a bandit, right?" Jing Ruchen asked sternly.

The invisible pressure made Jing Shengwen's legs go weak, and his elder brother has always been a cautious person. If he spoke, there would definitely be witnesses and evidence. He knew that it was useless to quibble, so he knelt down in front of Jing Ruchen with a plop.

He burst into tears and said, "Brother, I was possessed by the devil at that time, but I didn't mean to hurt you. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to hurt you. I just wanted to win your favor, so I asked the bandits to come and then I would save you myself, so that you would change your impression of me."

Ran was furious: "They were bandits, their swords and knives have no eyes."

"You're talking so nicely now. What if the bandits had hurt your eldest brother? If your eldest sister-in-law hadn't saved him, you would have succeeded and could have inherited the title."

Jing Shengwen repeatedly defended himself, but Ran forced him to swear that he had no ambition for the title and that he would not accept it even if it was his turn in the future, otherwise his descendants would be cut off.

Jing Shengwen refused. Nowadays, oaths are the most important thing. Besides, if the news of Ran family gets out, then he will have no chance of inheriting the title.

Upon seeing this, Jing Ruchen told Marquis Jing'en.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so if he does not separate his second brother, he can only report the fact that his second brother is colluding with bandits to the government.

Marquis Jing'en knew that Jing Shengwen had failed, and even if he reported the matter to the authorities, it would not endanger Jing Shengwen's life.

But his reputation will definitely be ruined, he will lose his job, and the rest of his life will basically be ruined.

He spoke with difficulty: "Does it have to be like this?"

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave Jing Shengwen, Jing Ruchen told him directly that he could move out of the house with his mother.

No matter how much Marquis Jing'en liked Aunt Sun over the years, he never thought of divorcing Ran and making Aunt Sun his legal wife.

Because he knew that his wife and legitimate son were his reputation in the outside world. If his wife and legitimate son were gone now, outsiders would laugh at him even more.

It would be better to find an excuse to divorce Ran, but Ran has done nothing wrong over the years, so Jing Shengwen can only be let out.

He told Jing Shengwen that he had just changed his residence, he was still his father, and the Jing'en Marquisate would help him.

Jing Shengwen was unwilling to do so. It was easy to get out, but it was difficult to get back into the Marquis' Mansion.

And just now Jing Ruchen forced his father to drive him away by taking Ran away.

Although the father had a new love, he had been in love with Aunt Sun for many years. He planned to threaten Marquis Jing'en by taking Aunt Sun away, and said frankly that Aunt Sun loved him and that wherever he was, Aunt Sun would be there.

Marquis Jing'en was once again threatened by his son. He was irritated and said coldly:

"In that case, you should take Aunt Sun and leave the house."

At the same time, he felt a little relieved. He didn't want to face Aunt Sun because he had fallen in love with someone else, for fear that she would blame him.

Now that Jing Shengwen has given him the opportunity, he naturally seizes it. The fault lies with Jing Shengwen, and he was just forced into it. He won't see Aunt Sun for a long time.

Since Ran doesn't care about me, I can concentrate on pursuing the beauty and try to win her over as soon as possible.

As soon as Marquis Jing'en gave the order, Ran asked her servants to keep an eye on Jing Shengwen and the others and make sure they moved out as soon as possible that night.
