Chapter 47 The child is Yan Qinghao's bloodline
Madam Yan was stunned: "What are you all looking at me for?"
The beautiful woman she called her sister-in-law sneered, "Who else in this mansion could be so capable of stealing? Zhao Qing, I never knew you were capable of such a thing!"
Madam Yan’s cheeks twitched with anger: “You…are so outrageous!”
The beautiful woman had long disliked Old Madam Yan. Now that she was in trouble, she, as her sister-in-law, naturally wanted to add insult to injury.
"You're so angry because I told you the truth?"
The other people sitting nearby remained silent.
No one tried to stop the fight or mediate.
Because although what the beautiful woman said was unpleasant to hear, it was also what they were thinking.
The treasury of the Marquis' Mansion does not belong to Old Lady Yan personally. Even though she is the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, she cannot use it without permission.
The entire Yan family has many branches, and they can also get a share of the Yan family's industries every year. These people can't just watch Old Madam Yan reap the benefits alone.
"I am the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and I have always been in charge of the treasury. Why would you think about me touching my own things?"
"Who knows what you're thinking? Maybe you're taking it back to support your parents. I heard the Empress Dowager will be celebrating her birthday soon, and we haven't prepared any gifts for the Fourth Prince born to Concubine Hui..."
"Even if I really wanted to give it as a gift, I would have done it openly. Why would I have blown up my own treasury and destroyed so many precious porcelains?"
Madam Yan’s defense is not without reason.
Others were only slightly suspicious of her.
However, her sister-in-law was obviously looking for trouble with her, which made the old lady furious.
Fortunately, the old uncle spoke again: "It shouldn't be Zhao's doing. If it was her, she shouldn't have destroyed the remaining treasures that couldn't be taken away. She could have done it more cleanly. As for the others... where is the Marquis' wife?"
When Old Lady Yan heard someone mention Qin Mingzhu, her expression changed again and again.
After all, family disgrace should not be made public, so Qin Mingzhu did not spread the news of her return home.
"She's about to give birth and hasn't been feeling well lately. I asked her to rest more in her room."
As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man, Uncle Yan, who had spoken earlier, immediately frowned.
"There are elders at home, but she can't come over to see them?"
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is really gentle as a mother-in-law. Even her daughter-in-law is so unruly."
Old Madam Yan gritted her teeth.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Mingzhu.
This bitch in front of her used to fight with her in the mansion before the family split up. Now, it has been so long since they last met, and she is still like this!
The old uncle said, "After all, she is pregnant with Qinghao's child. That child is Qinghao's last bloodline, and we cannot lose him. You guys should keep quiet."
Uncle Yan and the beautiful woman didn't say anything more.
As for the other two people in the room, they did not have a high status in the side branch and could only respond from the side without saying a word.
Suddenly, Nanny Shen walked in from outside and whispered in Madam Yan's ear, "Madam Qin is here."
Old Madam Yan nodded. She was not too surprised. After all, this was something they had agreed on not long ago.
"Old uncle, there are guests at home. I will go out to greet them first."
The old uncle nodded, and the others didn't say anything.
After all, the Marquis' Mansion is a wealthy family, and it would be unacceptable if the host did not receive the guests.
Mrs. Qin was taken to another side courtyard.
After Old Lady Yan left the courtyard where the Yan family's group was, her expression instantly turned gloomy.
Nanny Shen whispered, "Madam, the Qin family is simply taking advantage of your misfortune and deliberately making things difficult for you. The so-called loan of money is just an excuse. Not only do they want interest, but they also want to use the land deed as collateral. Their request is really excessive."
Nanny Shen's words touched Madam Yan's heart.
Madam Yan narrowed her eyes and slightly exerted force on the fingers holding the cane.
"Go ahead and see if we can talk some more."
A moment later, Madam Qin met Madam Yan.
What she didn't know was that not long after she arrived at the Yan family, another carriage appeared at the gate of the Yan family.
Qin Mingzhu gently stroked her lower abdomen. Her increasingly bulging belly made it a little inconvenient for her to move.
But after taking a look at the Yan family's gate, she still came.
Because Qin Mingzhu was a little worried about Madam Yan.
My mother is weak. If the Yan family is unreasonable and does something to her, it will be terrible. Even though Old Lady Yan had verbally agreed to the deal before, Qin Mingzhu didn't think that the old woman would take out the deed to the Marquis' Mansion so easily.
Chunhua carefully helped Qin Mingzhu get off the carriage.
Qin Mingzhu suddenly turned her head and looked behind her. There were some idle passers-by coming and going behind her, and there didn't seem to be anything special about them.
But Qin Mingzhu always felt that someone was watching her.
She seemed to have thought of something, the corners of her lips curled up, and then she turned her head to look at Chunhua.
"Give me what I asked you to prepare."
Chunhua carefully took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from the car, with a look of slight disgust on her face.
"Ma'am, what are you going to do with this?"
Qin Mingzhu raised the corner of her mouth, "Just watch for a while."
When the guards at the Marquis' Mansion saw Qin Mingzhu, they looked at each other and immediately arranged for someone to report.
Qin Mingzhu didn't want to wait and walked in directly: "Does this lady need other people's consent to return home?"
"I dare not, Madam, please."
The gatekeepers did not dare to stop her and let Qin Mingzhu walk in.
Not long after, after inquiring, Qin Mingzhu arrived at the courtyard where Old Lady Yan and her mother were.
Nanny Shen was standing guard at the door, and when she saw Qin Mingzhu coming back, she was stunned for a moment.
"Ma'am, why are you back?"
In the yard.
Old Madam Yan was talking to Madam Qin about money, and she was obviously not satisfied with the 50,000 taels of silver.
She agreed to it that day out of a moment of urgency, but later on, the more Madam Yan thought about it, the more she regretted it.
Mrs. Qin was already making a move to leave.
"Old Madam, it's okay if you don't agree. After all, the land deed is of no use to my Qin family. If you don't want to trade, I can save 50,000 taels of silver."
Seeing that she was really about to leave, Old Lady Yan narrowed her eyes instantly.
She suddenly smiled and said, "Madam Qin, I didn't want to hurt the relationship between you and me because we are relatives. But now, your Qin family is taking advantage of my misfortune, which really makes me sad. In this case, don't blame me for doing something extreme. Your Qin family was once glorious, but now it is only on its last breath. If Qin Mingzhu hadn't attached herself to my Yan family, your Qin family would have fallen into decline long ago!"
Madam Qin was furious and looked at Madam Yan viciously.
"My daughter is trying to get close to the Marquis' Mansion? If Yan Qinghao hadn't come to my Qin family to propose marriage many times, saying that he loved my daughter and would take care of her for the rest of her life, how could I have agreed to this marriage and let my only daughter become your Yan family's second wife!"
Old Madam Yan didn't care at all.
It is true that her son fell in love with Qin Mingzhu first, but her son is a marquis, so who is she, Qin Mingzhu?
If you like a woman, marry her; if she is disobedient, divorce her. There are many women out there anyway. With her son's ability and looks, he can have as many as he wants.
If she hadn't felt that the Qin family still had some background and that the Qin family would soon become a marquisate after Qin Mingzhu married into the family, she would never have agreed to let her become a second wife!
"Mrs. Qin, if you keep the silver today, we can still be good relatives."
Madam Yan obviously had no intention of exchanging the land deed.
Mrs. Qin had never seen such a shameless person. She was so angry that she turned around and left.
However, Madam Yan showed a sneer on her face, a sinister look flashed across her eyes, and she raised her hand slightly.
Although doing so would completely break off relations with the Qin family, so what?
Those who are ignorant of the current situation must learn a lesson before they know the majesty of the Marquisate!
Since you don’t want to eat the soft stuff, let’s eat something hard.
Just as Mrs. Qin was about to walk towards the gate, a vicious dog that had broken free from its leash suddenly rushed out of the yard and rushed towards her.
Madam Qin was already weak, and the servants brought by the Qin Mansion were stopped outside the door by the Yan family. At this time, Madam Qin could only watch the vicious dog pounce on her, her body stiff in place, unable to dodge.
Qin Mingzhu, who happened to be outside the courtyard gate and heard the noise inside, pushed the gate open a crack and saw this scene...
"Mom, be careful!"
Qin Mingzhu's face turned cold, and a cold chill flashed across her eyes. She gritted her teeth and exerted force with both hands, and instantly pushed Aunt Shen, who was still blocking her from entering the yard.
"ah!!!"
The next moment, a scream that shook the world and made ghosts cry came from the yard.
