Wu Ziya hugged her nanny and cried heartbreakingly: "I won't accept this! I won't accept this!"
The noise in the main courtyard could be heard clearly by everyone outside, not to mention Jiayue who lived in the back room.
She looked worriedly towards the main courtyard, then towards Aunt Jia's residence, and sighed softly.
Qi Jing from Ci'an Hospital breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
The Qi family didn't understand: "You sent someone to spread rumors that the Marquis was still thinking about Miss Qin. Isn't this putting Wu in danger? She's afraid that Miss Qin will come into the mansion and her status will be threatened. She will definitely take your child."
Qi Jing shook her head and said, "Our lady seems steady and methodical, but as a young woman, what matters most is her husband's affection for her. Once emotions are involved, even the most rational person will cease to be herself."
The Qi family looked at Qi Jing in surprise: "Girl, when did you know so much?"
Qi Jing glanced at the Qi family. If her mother hadn't constantly talked about the wealth of the Marquis's mansion when she was young, would she have been so determined to become a concubine? She was born a maid, and her best future was to be a concubine. But what would she do after becoming a concubine? She had to think ten steps ahead.
But these words were unnecessary. Qi Jing continued, "As long as Wu and the Marquis start a quarrel, then a jealous mistress will most likely not be able to raise a child properly, so this is my chance."
Qi Jing said this and stood up.
The Qi family asked quickly, "Where are you going?"
Qi Jing said, "It's late at night. I'll go to the door and wait for the Marquis."
"Wait?" The Qi family didn't understand, but they still quickly helped their daughter to go to the second gate. Now the glory of their entire family depends on their daughter and the child in her belly, and they can't let them have any mishaps.
After leaving home, Lu Yan rode his horse onto the street and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion.
When he was young, he often played here. He still remembered the old locust tree next to the side door. Whenever Qin Wan wanted to sneak out to play, she would climb up. She thought the defense there was the weakest.
But she didn't know that as the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion, how could she easily go out and play?
It was just that Marquis Xuanwu loved his granddaughter so he left a loophole for her. Every time she slipped out happily, there would always be a few people following her secretly.
It was only by chance that Lu Yan discovered those people and learned the reasons behind it.
However, the real weak point in the defense of Xuanwu Marquis Mansion was at the main gate.
Because no one would climb the wall during the night shift, and there is a gatehouse at the main gate, who would have expected that a thief would go through here?
Lu Yan tied the horse near the side door, walked to the wall about ten feet away from the main door, and jumped in.
“Who is it?”
A loud shout was heard, and several shadows appeared in an instant, drawing their swords and surrounding Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was discovered as soon as he landed. He was stunned on the spot and had to say aloud, "It's me."
The guard shouted again, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Lu Yan was unhappy, but he could only patiently state his name: "Marquis of Pingyang Lu Yan."
He thought that if he said his name, the guards would treat him with courtesy. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, not to mention that he was the Marquis of Pingyang. He deserved to be treated with courtesy wherever he went.
Unexpectedly, when the guard heard his name, he not only did not put down the sword in his hand, but took a step forward. The sword reflected the moonlight and illuminated Lu Yan's face.
Qin Zhan came out from behind the guards, took a look at Lu Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Pingyang, what are you doing in our Qin family? You are not welcome here, you'd better leave quickly!"
Lu Yan looked at Qin Zhan in astonishment: "Grandfather... Lord Qin, there's no need for things to go on like this between you and me, right?"
"Tsk, who is your grandfather?" Qin Zhan rolled his eyes unceremoniously. "Our Qin family and the Lu family have nothing to do with each other now. Why did you break into our Qin family in the middle of the night? If you can't explain it, I'll take you to Shuntian Mansion!"
Lu Yan didn't expect that Qin Zhan would actually think of sending him to the authorities again. Both families were powerful and wealthy, so conflicts would naturally be resolved privately. Sending him to the authorities meant that the two families would never have any contact with each other again.
His throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. When Qin Zhan had exhausted his patience and was about to ask the butler to tie him up with a rope, Lu Yan finally spoke with difficulty: "I want to see Wanwan."
"Bah! You can see my granddaughter whenever you want? Get lost!" Qin Zhan snatched the knife from the guard's hand and pointed it at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan took a step back, frowned sadly and looked at Qin Zhan, saying: "No matter what, I am Wanwan's husband. I came to see her."
Qin Zhan had never known that Lu Yan could be so shameless. He gritted his teeth and swung his knife at Lu Yan: "You are not a son-in-law! You have already divorced! His Majesty has granted her marriage and she has become the Crown Princess!"
Even though Qin Zhan was angry about Lu Yan's foolish behavior of climbing the wall in the middle of the night, his purpose was to force Lu Yan to retreat, and he did not use any real kung fu.
But when Lu Yan heard that Qin Wan was about to get married, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and red: "Is that really the case?"
Qin Zhan sneered and said, "Could it be fake?"
Since Marquis Xuanwu said it himself, it must be true!
"Ah!" Lu Yan was already furious with Wu just now, and now he was suddenly provoked again. He was so angry that he could no longer control himself. He snatched a knife and slashed at Qin Zhan.
Seeing this, the guards rushed forward to protect Qin Zhan, but Qin Zhan waved them off: "Let me teach this ignorant Marquis of Pingyang a lesson!"
He was old and strong, so why did he need anyone's protection? What's more, he wanted to teach this scumbag who was ruining his granddaughter's reputation and making her sad a lesson!
