"I have a vicious heart?" Qin stared at Marquis Jinyang in disbelief.
It was as if I met this person for the first time in my life.
Furious, he called her by her name: "Chen Yu! How dare you say that to me just for a concubine's maid? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Qin has always been an impatient person.
But this was the first time in all these years that the two of them had been at loggerheads in front of outsiders.
This was the first time that Qin called Marquis Jinyang by his full name in front of his servants.
Marquis Jinyang was startled by the shout, and nearly twenty pairs of eyes were staring at them, including their only son, Shen Feng, and the weak woman who was protected behind them.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Marquis Jinyang's expression changed slightly.
Qin Shi didn't pay attention and continued to complain, "What's so good about this bitch? Have you forgotten what happened to Feng'er? This bitch was raised outside the mansion, and no one was watching her. How do you know whether the child in her belly is yours or the one she conceived with some adulterer?"
This sentence made Jinyang Hou and Chen Feng's faces darken at the same time.
The woman who was protected by Marquis Jinyang fell to her knees again with a "bang", holding tightly onto the hem of Marquis Jinyang's clothes with both hands, tears streaming down her face without a word.
With red eyes, she said, "My Lord, I am wronged! You know where my heart is. How can Madam wrong me like this..."
"Why are you crying? Put away your coquettish tricks. This is the residence of Marquis Jinyang, not your shabby brothel!" Qin became even more furious when she saw the weak woman crying and falling towards Marquis Jinyang like a boneless person.
The woman was so frightened that she shuddered and buried her head deeply.
After pausing for a moment, he suddenly stood up and was about to crash into the stone pillar next to him.
"Madam, you have wronged me like this, and you want to kill me. If that is the case, I will die to show my determination..."
"Nonsense!" Marquis Jinyang, who had been silent all this time, finally shouted harshly.
At the same time, he stretched out his long arm and pulled the woman, who was about to rush towards the stone wall, into his arms, and patted her back gently as if to comfort her.
The word "nonsense" seemed to be directed at the woman, but who was it actually scolding? Who present couldn't tell?
Qin's expression changed again and again.
“Chen Yu, are you determined to protect this bitch?”
Marquis Jinyang was increasingly embarrassed after being addressed by Qin several times in public. Seeing that Qin was still not giving in, he also lost his patience and said, "Fuyao is pregnant with my child. From today on, she will move into the mansion and be my concubine."
"Butler Qin, please tidy up a yard for Fuyao, and then go to Pingshuang Lane to fetch Fuyao's usual maids and servants."
He actually bypassed Qin and asked the housekeeper to arrange it directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qin yelling at the top of her voice, "Dream on!"
“Chen Yu, have you forgotten what you promised my parents when you came to my Jiande Marquis Mansion to ask for marriage?”
"You said that no woman would ever surpass me in my lifetime. All matters in the backyard will be handled by me. Even if you have concubines in the future, I will handle them at your will."
"I don't agree with this woman entering the house!"
"You have no choice but to agree." Marquis Jinyang spoke coldly. His patience had been worn out to the critical point. Especially after Qin threatened her with her natal family, Marquis Jiande's Mansion, his face became as cold as ice.
The Marquis of Jinyang rose to power through military merit, and although they were granted a title, they could not fit into the social circle of nobles in the capital. For this reason, the old marquis' wife specifically asked for the daughter of the Marquis of Jiande to marry her son.
But now, many years have passed, and the Jiande Marquis Mansion is no longer as prosperous as it once was. In the last few years of the late emperor's life, he was almost stripped of his title due to mistakes in his mission. Now he only has an empty title, but has no power in the court. He is not as good as their Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
Qin actually dared to use this old almanac to threaten others!
"This is the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion, not the Marquis of Jiande's Mansion. Remember who is the owner of this mansion."
After saying the last sentence, Marquis Jinyang stopped the woman named "Fu Yao" in his arms and left without looking back.
Before leaving, Fu Yao looked towards Qin.
Her eyes were red and still filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be raised, as if she was mocking Qin.
Qin had just come back to her senses from the cold words of Marquis Jinyang, and when she saw the sarcastic smile, she felt a lump in her heart.
Immediately his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards.
"Mother!"
"lady!"
Chen Feng and the maids on both sides hurried over to help.
The servant who followed the Marquis of Jinyang out reminded him, "My Lord, the Madam..."
“Don’t pay attention to it.” Before the servant could finish speaking, Marquis Jinyang interrupted him coldly.
There was no warmth in his tone, as if the person who fainted behind him was not his wife of many years.
…
"Have the people from the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion come again?"
In a pavilion surrounded by flowers, beside the gurgling water.
Xue Linglong picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth, then took a sip of hot tea and squinted her eyes comfortably.
The life we live now is what a human being should live!
Or people all say that Concubine Ling is favored. She is not the queen, but better than the queen. Look, this is just a random villa of the Ling family, but it is several times more luxurious and elegant than the Jinyang Marquis Mansion!
Cui Tao, who was standing in the pavilion, took two steps forward, filled the empty teacup, and whispered back, "Miss, the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion did not send anyone today."
After a pause, she whispered, "I heard that something happened in the mansion. The Marquis... the Marquis's concubine came to the mansion with a big belly. There is a big commotion in the mansion now. The Marquis's wife and the Marquis seem to have fallen out. The prince is busy trying to persuade both sides. I'm afraid that for a while..."
I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this place for a while.
Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong revealed a triumphant smile.
It was impossible for Miss Fu Yao, who was raised by Marquis Jinyang in Pingshuang Lane, to cause trouble in the Marquis's mansion for no reason.
It was not yet the time for the matter in the dream to be exposed.
It was just that she couldn't bear to see that old woman Qin living such a happy life, so she wanted to make things difficult for her.
"Their own house is in a mess today. Let's see if that old man still has the energy to cause trouble to me again."
Seeing the sinister smile on Xue Linglong's face, Cui Tao, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but shudder.
At the corner of the garden, behind the lush trees.
The man wearing a jade crown and a four-clawed dragon robe stared at the figure in the pavilion in the garden with a serious expression.
"I have found out clearly that all those novel ideas of the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion came from the Xue family, not the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Yes." The subordinate behind the man lowered his head and reported back, "It was the wife of Marquis Jinyang who deceived the Imperial Concubine and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to the Imperial Concubine. Those ideas did come from the Xue family, and the idea of the Xue family's brother presenting treasures to Your Majesty also came from the Xue family."
There was a hint of amusement on the man's gloomy face.
"Master, do you really want to take her into the prince's palace?"
"Heh." The man laughed sarcastically and shook his head, "Why bring a woman who dares to plot against her parents-in-law into the mansion?"
"Just leave her here. She is still of some use for the time being."
