Li Yu Niang, who couldn't continue acting, finally shut up and was sent out.

Qin simply sat down and confronted Lu's mother, and Su Yunling could only go to the side and eat melon seeds for the time being.

"I also know that Ye'er and Miao'er have a deep relationship, but they have been married for three years and Miao'er has not been pregnant yet. You can't let Ye'er have no children, right? My mother-in-law is also a mother, so I'm sure she can understand my good intentions."

No matter how angry and aggrieved Mrs. Lu was for her daughter, she could only swallow her anger when she mentioned the fact that Xu Miaoyu had been childless for three years.

It was a sin for a woman to be unable to give birth to a child. According to the laws of the Great Yin Dynasty, a woman could be divorced if she remained childless within three years of marriage.

So even though Qin was afraid of Xu Handang, the Imperial Censor, if a fight really came to a head, her Chen family would be in the right.

Chen Ye suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Miaoyu, holding her hand affectionately:

"Miao'er, I know I have failed my promise to you, but please believe me, I will only love you forever. When Yu Niang gives birth to the child, it will be in your name, and we will have no regrets."

He held Xu Miaoyu's hand tightly, ignoring her struggle and resistance, with anxiety and pleading in his eyes.

Xu Miaoyu's misty eyes were filled with disappointment. "Chen Ye, I suddenly feel that you are so strange. If you dislike me for not being able to continue your family line, why don't you just say it? If you just say it, I will help you. Why do you keep someone outside without telling me?"

"Miao'er, I'm afraid you'll be sad if you know. I'm afraid you'll be separated from me. I'm afraid you'll leave me."

Chen Ye knows Xu Miaoyu very well. Although she looks weak, she is actually strong-willed and cannot tolerate any injustice.

He really loved her and wanted to give her the best things in the world, but he couldn't disobey his mother and couldn't be childless.

So he could only come up with this win-win solution, which was to wait for Li Yu Niang to give birth to a child and bring the child back to Xu Miaoyu to raise, falsely claiming that the child was adopted from the clan. In this way, his mother would no longer force him to take a concubine or even remarry.

But unexpectedly, things developed more and more out of control. Now Xu Miaoyu knew everything, and Li Yu Niang also clamored to enter the Duke's Mansion.

He didn't know what to do.

Although he has a child now, he can't be happy at all.

On the contrary, he was terrified! He was afraid of losing Xu Miaoyu.

"Miao'er, you should be content with Ye'er's love for you. Which man from a wealthy family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? What's more, you can't give birth. Our Chen family has already given you enough respect. You mustn't be jealous." Mother-in-law Qin seemed to be comforting, but in fact she was criticizing and mocking.

Xu Miaoyu's curled hands were pinched until her fingertips turned white. She bit her lips in humiliation but said nothing.

She could bear it, but Su Yunling couldn't, and she immediately retorted: "No wonder Duke Qin is still taking concubines when he's over fifty, it turns out that the Duke's wife is virtuous and generous! If someone hadn't bought sterilizing drugs every now and then and beat my concubine until her uterus ruptured, I would have really believed it."

Su Yunling's words made Qin's face turn blue. She didn't expect that Su Yunling knew all about the way she dealt with those concubines.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Qin's face turned from white to black, and from black to red.

Xu Miaoyu pulled out her hand that was restrained by Chen Ye, stood up, and looked at Lu, "Mother, I want to go back and live with you for a while. I miss my grandmother and father."

Mrs. Lu knew that her daughter was feeling aggrieved, so how could she not feel distressed as well?

"Okay, let's go home." The mother and daughter snuggled away.

Chen Ye tried to catch up, but was stopped by Qin's cold eyes.

He could only shout at Xu Miaoyu's back: "Miao'er, I...I'll pick you up in two days."

Su Yunling rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "Mr. Chen, you should stay with your child! If you don't cherish a gentle and kind woman like my cousin, then someone will feel sorry for you."

"What does the county lady mean by this?" Chen Ye was angry and uneasy.

Su Yunling said without hesitation: "What I mean is that you are not worthy of my cousin. I want to help her find a new brother-in-law who is worthy of her lifelong trust."

Chen Ye's face turned pale. He was really afraid that Xu Miaoyu would leave him.

But Qin didn't care. "If she really dares to be unfaithful to her husband, she will be divorced by the Duke's Mansion!"

Chen Ye lost his composure and yelled, "Mother, please stop talking. I will not divorce Miao'er."

Qin was so angry that she shook her sleeves and said, "Look at your useless appearance. What else is there about Xu Miaoyu that is worth your attachment, except for her pretty face and good figure? She can't even give birth to a child. What kind of woman is she? If it weren't for the sake of Ya Xiang, I would have divorced her long ago..."

Qin did not lower her voice deliberately, and Lu and Su Yunling, who had just left the hospital, heard it clearly.

Obviously, she said that on purpose for them to hear.

"Miao'er, is this how she bullies you every day?" Lu held the silent Xu Miaoyu's hand, her heart almost broken.

"Mom, I'm fine." Xu Miaoyu forced a smile, but the tears in her eyes were about to burst.

"Child, you should have told your mother earlier!"

"Mother." Xu Miaoyu threw herself into Lu's arms and cried uncontrollably.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. After a while, Mrs. Lu comforted them in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, go home first and discuss with your grandmother to see what to do about this matter..."

Su Yunling knew that Xu Miaoyu had been taught since childhood to take care of her husband and children, and that her husband was the primary concern. She could not be as decisive as herself.

She couldn't make decisions for her either. All Su Yunling could do was to severely punish those bitches who bullied her family and provide a better life for Xu Miaoyu.

As soon as Su Yunling reached the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Jichen jumped out of the carriage nearby.

"Would you be so kind as to ride with me on the return trip?" This was the first time Xiao Ji Chen saw her face up close after she took off her clothes.

Her beauty and her personality complement each other, both are full of suffocating aggression.

"If you have something to say, please say so. I don't want to ride with anyone else." Su Yunling's displeasure was written all over his face, and he left after saying that.

[You bastard, you were having such a good time chatting with Su Yueying, why don't you go find her? ]

Xiao Jichen grabbed her wrist and explained in a deep voice: "I know you are angry about my conversation with the Saint earlier, but aren't you curious about what she said to me? Or does our extremely intelligent Hemin County Master really believe that I would waste my time on a woman I hate so much?"

"What does this mean?"

"It is not convenient to discuss this in detail. Get in my carriage..."

Su Yunling hesitated for a moment. Xiao Jichen obviously had something important to say, so she agreed to get on his carriage.

As the wheels started turning, she got straight to the point: "Tell me! What did she tell you?"

Xiao Ji Chen rested his elbows on his legs, slightly bent his waist, and was able to look Su Yunling in the eye.

"She wants me to abandon you, saying that your fate will affect the people around you, and the Xu family might be in trouble soon."

Su Yunling understood immediately, "You mean, Su Yueying wants to take action against the Xu family?"

According to the time when the Xu family got into trouble in the original plot, it was around this time. The difference this time was that Su Yueying also intervened.

"Tell the Xu family to be careful, and... don't be so impulsive and irritable next time. It's easy to get angry."

Xiao Ji Chen said with a smile, then turned sideways and took out a bowl of iced lotus seed soup from the food box beside him.

Su Yunling's anger, which had just risen up, was instantly suppressed when she saw the lotus seed soup being brought over.

Xiao Ji Chen ordered the chef in his house to prepare this lotus seed soup, which also contained jujube, wolfberry, lily and white fungus, which is beneficial for women to calm their minds.

Su Yunling had just been very angry at Duke Qin's Mansion, and this was a good opportunity to calm down.

As soon as she took a bite, her pair of peach blossom eyes curved into crescents.

“It’s delicious~”

Xiao Ji Chen also laughed. It was true that this little girl was easily angered, but she was also easy to coax.

The next morning, Su Yunling went directly to Xu's house.

Her grandfather had already gone to the yamen, so she went to look for her cousin first.

As soon as I arrived at my cousin's yard, I saw her leaning against the window and retching...
