Ma Jingling turned his attention to the second room, and to Mei Ruolan, the daughter of a concubine who was promoted from a maid.
Now she and Yuan Zhixi from the second house jointly manage the household. This maid was a family-born child. When she was taken as a concubine and later when she gave birth to a child, it was Ma Jingling who added the names of her and her daughter to the family tree and genealogy twice. Her birth date and horoscope were relatively easy to obtain.
But Ma Jingling was unable to choose the last person. His son's blood relatives included Old Lady Mei, the second master of the Mei family, Yuan Zhixi's four children, and Weng Hui's son.
Among them were Old Lady Mei and Yuan Zhixi's four children, these five people Ma Jingling didn't want to touch.
As for the remaining two people, the second master of the Mei family and Weng Hui's son, it was difficult for her to obtain their birth dates and horoscopes. It was the second master of the Mei family who personally took the housekeeper to handle the matter of recording Weng Hui's son in the family tree.
If that doesn't work, just give your son three more, that should be enough.
People who understand the Five Elements say that missing one element is normal, while having one element missing is rare. If it becomes normal, then it should be possible to recover.
Ma Jingling did what she said and quickly made three fake birth charts, replacing her own birth chart, that of her husband Mei Xuanrui, and that of her second wife's daughter Mei Ruolan.
Then he exchanged the birth date and time of Jin Huanlan's son Mei Hexiao with that of his own son Mei Yinshan.
Ma Jingling never imagined that when she was out looking for someone to check her son's five elements that day, someone was following her secretly.
Now everything she did was being secretly watched, and the little maid who was watching her was spreading the news to Jin Huanlan's yard.
Jin Huanlan smiled with relief after hearing this. It seemed that things were going more smoothly than she had expected. Next, she must help Ma Jingling and help her complete the exchange well.
Jin Huanlan looked at Mei Hexiao who was sitting there in her yard in a daze, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, "You won't get better, but the problem is not with me, but with your mother."
When Jin Huanlan learned that Mei Yinshan was not mentally sound more than ten years ago, she also thought that this might be retribution. At that time, she became a concubine in the Mei family. When she learned that her and Ma Jingling's due dates were not much different, she began to have evil thoughts.
In order to get her period earlier and give birth to the baby early, she did not hesitate to have sex while pregnant.
Later, she suffered a heavy hemorrhage and lost her fertility, and could no longer have children. Mei Xuanrui felt that all this was caused by having sex while pregnant, and he felt guilty.
After Jin Huanlan gave birth, Ma Jingling also gave birth to a son. The Mei family's master was overjoyed upon hearing this, but Jin Huanlan, who was bleeding heavily, took the opportunity to ask, "Master, please bring the child over to me so I can see it and compare which one looks more like you."
When Mei Xuanrui went to see his wife, she had been struggling for eight or nine hours at the gates of death. After giving birth safely, she fainted, perhaps because she was relaxed or finally exhausted.
Mei Xuanrui ran back and forth between the two courtyards that day, and was frightened by the birthing situations on both sides. But now he saw his legitimate son and held him in his arms with great joy. After his wife fainted, he was driven out of the delivery room by the female doctor and the midwife.
After waiting outside for a long time with the child in his arms, the doctor came out and said that there should be nothing serious, and his wife had just fainted.
He remembered Jin Huanlan's request and wanted to see the child. He also thought that Jin Huanlan had just escaped from the brink of death, so he carried the child and went to Jin Huanlan's yard again. After putting the child down, he returned to his wife.
When he got there, he found that the old lady had also come, and everyone was anxiously waiting for Ma Jingling to wake up. When he went to pick up the children, the two children had been swapped.
When the babies were swapped, Jin Huanlan didn't think about her biological child, who was later found to have something wrong with his brain.
She originally wanted to let her own child live the life of a legitimate son, inherit the family business as a legitimate son, and become the eldest son and grandson of the eldest house. However, she did not expect that her child was mentally retarded, and in the end the family business would still fall into the hands of Mei Hexiao.
Ma Jingling actually decided not to have any more children and was determined to cure Jin Huanlan's child. Since this was the case, and there was such a godsend opportunity, Jin Huanlan planned to use Ma Jingling's hand to restore the five elements for her biological child, and make Ma Jingling's biological child completely stupid because of amnesia.
A few years later, when Mei Xuanrui was hanging out with Jin Huanlan in the yard day and night, he suddenly noticed a mole on Mei Hexiao's right ear. He remembered that he was hugging Mei Yinshan at that time, and it was Mei Yinshan who had the mole on his right ear.
Could it be that both children have it? He went to see Mei Yinshan now and found that there was no mole on his right ear. Thinking back, he had left Yinshan alone in Jin Huanlan's yard and immediately realized that something was wrong.
But at that time, his relationship with his wife had changed, because his wife spent too much time and energy on the demented Mei Yinshan. Now his heart is more inclined towards Jin Huanlan, and because he himself is also involved, after all, he was the one who took the child away, and he was also afraid of the scolding from Old Lady Mei.
The day when his first wife and concubine gave birth to children at the same time was thrilling and everyone was in panic. Both women had a near-death experience and he was scolded by Old Lady Mei for nearly an hour.
In the past few years, his wife has given everything for Mei Yinshan. He thought about it for a long time and was afraid that he would not be able to face his wife, the old lady, after the truth was exposed.
Moreover, the family business will still belong to Mei Hexiao. Things are unpredictable. After many twists and turns, it will finally belong to his legitimate son. It will also give Jin Huanlan, who can no longer have children, a person to rely on. He feels that this may be a perfect ending for everyone.
Things in this world are generally like this. As long as you choose to remain silent at the beginning and don't tell the truth, it will become increasingly difficult to tell the truth later.
In this way, Mei Xuanrui, the head of the Mei family, and his concubine Jin Huanlan finally became the actual mastermind and accomplice in this matter.
Now Jin Huanlan is secretly pushing Ma Jingling to kill the chance for her own son Mei Hexiao to return to his original position.
As a fellow concubine, Jin Huanlan sometimes visited Weng Hui to chat. One day, she and Weng Hui were discussing the plum garden the Mei family owned in the suburbs, a beautiful garden with ingenious design. Nearby was a village with the most delicious plum wine.
Upon hearing that the second master of the Mei family had returned home, Jin Huanlan left immediately. Within two days, it was reported that the second master of the Mei family would accompany the old lady and take his wives, concubines and children to live in the Mei Garden for a few days.
Thanks to Ma Jingling's efforts, this day was set after two eminent monks came to his house and determined the person who would restore the five elements.
After Ma Jingling made a fake birth chart, he felt very confident that Mrs. Mei and most people from the second house would not have to stay at home to participate in the return of the five elements. He could just send them away. This would be great, and then Yinshan could replace He Xiao.
Although this was what Jin Huanlan hoped to see when she pushed for this matter, she still felt uncomfortable knowing that Old Lady Mei and the rest of the family did not care about such a big thing as the restoration of her son Mei Hexiao's status. She thought angrily that this was the treatment of a concubine's son, and that was why she wanted to exchange her son for the legitimate son.
