As Yun Wanrou's voice fell, Chuqiu's upturned mouth corners were immediately lowered.

She frowned, her face gloomy.

The word "illegitimate child" hurt her heart.

The child she and the Marquis have is extremely noble, how can she be called a bastard!

The expression on Jiang Yan's face also froze slightly.

She didn't expect that Yun Wanrou, who was well-read in poetry and literature, would actually say such a thing.

She let go of the two children, slowly stood up and looked at Yun Wanrou.

"Sister-in-law, be careful with your words! If what you said just now is heard by someone with ulterior motives and spreads out, then the reputation of my brother and the Marquis' Mansion will be ruined."

"Sorry, I spoke too quickly."

Yun Wanrou nodded slightly, pretending to have done something wrong.

Yangyang heard their conversation and turned over happily.

[Mother, you are telling the truth! Those two children are the illegitimate children of the scumbag.]

[This vicious sister-in-law has a wicked heart, but she is also so mean. My mother just accidentally told the truth, and you are trying to scare her! ]

[If one day, the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is ruined, it is also caused by the scumbag, and has nothing to do with my mother, so don't make random accusations.]

Yangyang was cursing in her heart, while Jiang Yan, Jiang Nanxing and Jiang Beichen were already playing in the room.

The two children were very close to her, but not to Yun Wanrou.

Yun Wanrou sat aside, watching them play as if she were watching a play.

The three of them played for more than a quarter of an hour, and Jiang Yan turned to look at Yun Wanrou.

"Sister-in-law, these two children are so cute. Do you want to come over and play with us?"

"No need, just play!"

"OK!"

Jiang Yan thought she was annoyed by the children's noise and didn't care.

She retracted her gaze to the two children and deliberately raised her voice.

"Xing Jie'er, Chen Ge'er, do you like your aunt?"

"like!"

"Nanxing loves her aunt the most and doesn't want to be separated from her."

“So good!”

Jiang Yan gently pinched Jiang Nanxing's cheek.

"If I were not unmarried, I would really like to adopt you under my name and let you be my children."

"aunt……"

"Auntie, give me a hug!"

Yun Wanrou picked up the cup to cover the upturned corners of her mouth.

Just as Yangyang said, Jiang Yan knew that she would feel sorry for her, so she used herself to plot against her.

If she didn't know that these two children were Jiang Huaishu's illegitimate children, she would probably have fallen into the trap.

Unfortunately, she not only knew all this, but also knew Jiang Yan's purpose.

Yun Wanrou took a sip of tea and put the cup back on the wooden table.

Seeing that Yun Wanrou didn't say anything, Jiang Yan's eyes turned, and she stood up and sat down beside her.

"Sister-in-law, if I propose to adopt them under my name, will mother agree?"

"You are an unmarried girl. Adopting a child is equivalent to destroying your innocence. How could your mother agree to it?"

"What should I do? I really like them and want to keep them here!"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips, looking embarrassed.

Yun Wanrou knew that she was waiting for her to fall into the trap, but she refused!

"Aren't they living in the Marquis's Mansion now? If you like them, just go visit them often. Why do you need to adopt them?"

"Then...how can they be the same!"

Jiang Yan refused.

"After all, they are now the children of the side branch. If the side branch wants to take them back one day, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, your brother said that they have been without parents since they were young. The people from the side branches would like to keep them in the Marquis' Mansion, so why would they take them back?

When you get married, if you still like them so much, then you can discuss with your husband and adopt them under your name.

In this way, you can keep your reputation and become their mother, isn't that the best of both worlds?"

What a beauty!

Jiang Yan gritted her teeth, her expression a little embarrassed.

If she really gets married, she will naturally have children. How can she raise children for others?

Moreover, these two little ones are her brother's children and should be adopted by Yun Wanrou.

Why is everything now different from what she had expected?

"Sister-in-law, you only have one daughter, Yangyang, so it's inevitable that the yard is a little quiet.

Why don't you adopt these two children under your name for my sake?

First, I can see them more often, and second, the Marquis's Mansion also needs a prince, right?"

"My Lord and I are still young, we can still have another child."

Yun Wanrou raised the corner of her mouth slightly and politely rejected Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan's face darkened and she turned to look at Jiang Nanxing and Jiang Beichen. She no longer wanted to play with them.

Yangyang, lying on the small wooden bed, couldn't stop smiling.

[The vicious aunt is a fool. She exposed her thoughts before she even said a few words.]

[My mother is so powerful that I didn't fall into her trap. The two illegitimate children want to become legitimate sons and daughters, but they will have to wait until the next life! ]

The conversation in the inner room was overheard by Chu Qiu.

Seeing that her plan failed again, her face looked a little unhappy.

How come Yun Wanrou doesn't seem as simple as Jiang Huaishu described her to be?

How many times had their plans been ruined by her?

If this continues, will she have to watch her two children be bound to the word "illegitimate child" for the rest of their lives?

Are you going to be pointed at and criticized by others all your life and not be able to hold your head up?

I feel unwilling in early autumn.

It was obvious that Jiang Huaishu was going to marry her in the first place.

If Yun Wanrou had not interfered, she and her two children would have been the masters of the Marquis' Mansion long ago.

Why should she go to so much trouble and scheme?

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I'm going back first."

Jiang Yan couldn't stay in the room any longer.

She said something to Yun Wanrou and turned to walk out.

When she reached the door, she raised her voice and gave an order.

"You are the one who took these children here, so you should send them back!"

"promise!"

Chu Qiu pulled himself back to his thoughts and responded.

Yun Wanrou looked at the two children, then ran quickly towards Chu Qiu with a sneer on her lips.

Today's play was well performed and deserves an award!

Thinking of this, she turned and looked at Wangshu.

"Wait for Chuqiu to come back and ask her to wash the clothes!"

Although Chuqiu was Jiang Huaishu's concubine, she had never suffered any hardship since childhood.

After staying in Yun Wanrou's yard for a few days, I couldn't stand it anymore.

While Yun Wanrou took Yangyang out, she found Jiang Huaishu's room.

Jiang Huaishu opened the door and saw her standing outside. He was startled and quickly pulled her in.

"Why did you come here suddenly? If Arou sees us, then we..."

"My Lord, when will you fulfill your promise to me?

Yun Wanrou asked me to clean the yard and wash clothes every day. Look at my hands, they have become rough!"

Chu Qiu interrupted Jiang Huaishu, raised her hand and placed it in front of Jiang Huaishu.

Jiang Huaishu took a look and held her hand with heartache.
