After calming down, Xie Xueqing did not leave in a hurry, but stood in the distance, watching everything silently.
She was just able to hear the three people talking from her position.
Since she refused to adopt the child, this family would never let it go.
Sure enough, in the courtyard, the old lady's words made the warm atmosphere of the family disappear without a trace in an instant.
"That woman didn't agree to adopt Rui'er."
Yan Loufang frowned and spoke with some displeasure.
"Mom, didn't you follow our plan? Which child didn't you get rid of?"
The old lady nodded. "Something went wrong at the last minute, so we didn't succeed. So, this time we came here to discuss what to do next."
"This Rui'er is of our Yan family bloodline, so he must inherit the Marquisate. How can it be so unfair?"
The woman beside him whispered, "The daughter she gave birth to is the biggest obstacle. I have a slow-acting poison that can kill people without them noticing. If I put it in the food of the mother and child, everything will be solved."
Yao Rongyu was originally a herbalist in the mountains. Three years ago, while collecting herbs, she accidentally saved Yan Loufang who was injured while suppressing bandits.
As they spent time together, the two fell in love and eventually got together.
However, when Yan Loufang proposed to marry her, he was strongly opposed by the old lady. The reason was that they were not a good match. If it were to be known that the Marquis had married a woman with no family background, it would probably become a laughing stock in the whole capital.
Yao Rongyu was disheartened by this incident and turned away from Yan Loufang.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is the best. Because he couldn't marry the one he loved, Yan Loufang insisted on not getting married even though the other person was not around.
It was not until the summer of the following year that he finally could not withstand the pressure from his family, compromised with his mother, and married Xie Xueqing.
One month after their marriage, their life was indeed pretty good, but he could never forget the white moonlight in his heart.
Until the autumn, when the northern barbarians invaded and Xie Xueqing was just one month pregnant, Yan Loufang accepted the imperial edict to lead the troops to fight. Who would have thought that he would meet Yao Rongyu on the way to the battle.
The former white moonlight was standing right in front of him, and she had given birth to a big fat boy for him.
In order to be able to stay with Bai Yueguang forever, Yan Loufang faked his death one month after the war ended, and then lived a happy life with Bai Yueguang.
The old lady disagreed at first, but the moment she saw her grandson, her attitude changed drastically.
Not only did he accept this woman whom he once looked down upon, he also specially chose this place for the two of them to live like a fairy tale couple.
Because the place was remote and secluded enough, the three people spoke in quite loud voices, and all their words were heard by Xie Xueqing and Yan Jin.
Yan Jin was complaining furiously inwardly.
[The old man is really bad, and this scumbag father is even worse. He is so cruel that he even doesn't let his own daughter go.]
[You're going to kill her, right? Fine, just wait for her.]
[Mother, you must try harder and protect me, 嘤嘤嘤.]
【Mom, stick to me! 】
In order to survive, Yan Jin felt that his life was really not easy.
He subconsciously turned his face to Xie Xueqing's arms, trying to gain a sense of security in this way.
Xie Xueqing listened to her daughter's mumbling.
For the first time, I felt that hearing other people's thoughts was not a good thing. My daughter was a bit noisy.
However, thanks to my daughter, I was able to know the truth.
Otherwise, she would probably be kept in the dark for the rest of her life and waste everything.
After pinching her daughter's little face, she and the maid quietly left this so-called paradise.
On the way back, the maid Chunyu was still in a daze, obviously not yet recovered from what had happened before.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought someone was making up a story.
Glancing at his wife, Chun Yu said worriedly, "Madam, have you figured out what to do next?"
Xie Xueqing thought for a moment and said calmly, "When you return to the mansion later, go get all the account books of the old lady's recent spending in this mansion. Remember, don't alarm anyone."
Chunyu nodded and said that she would definitely make sure that no one would find out.
The moment she returned to the room, Xie Xueqing felt an unprecedented fatigue coming from deep within her body.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and was about to rest when Chunyu came in with the account book.
"Ma'am, these are the account books you need."
Xie Xueqing nodded slightly and was about to look at the account book when she heard her daughter's voice again.
[Mom, you're so tired. Take a break before you do anything else. It's only been a few days since I was born. Excessive exertion is bad for your health. Your life span won't be long, and then that family will be left with nothing...]
[It’s all that damn scumbag’s fault! ]
【My dear mother, I will always be by your side. 】
[The premise is that I can live and grow up...]
Originally, Xie Xueqing planned to find out all the secrets of this marquis' mansion in one go, but now he wants to stop.
Thinking of his daughter's thoughts, Xie Xueqing decided to take a break. Yes, why make himself so tired?
It is that family that should be anxious, not yourself!
Only by keeping your spirits up can you better face future battles.
Thinking of this, Xie Xueqing closed the account book that had just been opened, and prepared to take a break before reading again.
The mother and daughter were lying on the bed. Yan Jin was nursing, her eyelids were drooping, and she felt drowsy.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
