Nanny Lin left in response, and after a while, she came back with a timid little girl.

This girl serves in the courtyard of the third room.

According to her, when the old princess was bedridden a few days ago, Xu Jinran and Qin instructed her to put some medicines that should not have been there into the medicine jar, which made the old princess' condition worse.

If Madam Cui had not appeared in time, if she had done it a few more times, the Ning Wang Mansion would have had to hold a funeral.

Then Nanny Lin took out a bag of medicinal herbs and said she found them from the third room.

Seeing this scene, everyone's face changed drastically.

According to the time mentioned by that girl, the true identity of the third wife had not yet been revealed.

The Yuan Dynasty advocated filial piety, but no one expected that Xu Jinran and his wife would be so bold as to poison their own mother.

"This... this... this is not true. I am innocent..."

Qin's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to look at the old princess. She muttered a few words, then rushed towards the girl with her teeth and claws bared, cursing:

"I'm going to beat you to death, you traitor. Let's see if you dare to keep talking nonsense!"

The little girl was pulled back by the maids, and Nanny Lin pushed Qin fiercely and said in hatred:

"What do you mean by treason? That's totally unreasonable. The food and drink expenses of all the people in the mansion are all paid by the public treasury. Who is it that is cursing while eating and has the nerve to accuse others of treason? I didn't eat anything from your Qin family!"

Nanny Lin's words were very impolite, and Qin was so angry that she was speechless. She pointed at Nanny Lin and wanted to scold her but didn't know what to say.

"You also said that she is your maid, so what she says and does is up to you, right?"

When the Marquis's wife saw Qin's guilty look, she knew that she was not wrong to scold her, but there was nothing she could do; she had to help her smooth things over.

However, the old princess didn't even need to say anything. Nanny Lin took out a piece of paper and waved it in front of the marquis's wife, then stepped forward and handed it to Lord Yao.

"This is the testimony of the owner of the medicine shop. The third lady went there several times and the herbs she brought back were all these harmful things."

The testimony was written in a similar way to what Nanny Lin said, and it also had the signature and seal of the drugstore owner below it.

Lord Yao read it and nodded, then showed the testimony to Lord Zhu and Lord Ouyang. The three of them looked towards the Pingnan Marquis Mansion with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

I didn't expect that such a prestigious marquisate would raise such a vicious-hearted woman.

If this matter gets out, who would dare to marry a woman from the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion?

The Marquis's wife could naturally think of what the adults could think of, and immediately felt her head buzzing.

It's over. It's completely over now...

God damn it, she still has a daughter, and now she has been badly hurt by this bitch...

The Marquis's face turned pale and blue, and she could no longer control her emotions. She walked up to Qin and slapped her several times.

"You are such a scoundrel, I will tear you to pieces today!"

Xu Jinran didn't expect that this matter would be discovered, and he felt even more disheartened.

Even when he saw Qin being beaten in front of him, he acted as if he didn't see anything.

In the end, it was only when Old Lady Qin saw her daughter being torn like a madman that she hurried forward and held Qin in her arms.

Even if the Marquis's wife wanted to beat her again, she couldn't really beat her own mother-in-law. If she did that, wouldn't she be the same as Qin?

There was no other way, so she had to stop in disappointment.

Beating and scolding aside, even if it is not for Qin, the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion has to think about their own children and the women in the clan.

Finally, there was no choice but to sit down and talk things over with the old princess.

The two families also reached an agreement that the Ning Wang Mansion would no longer pursue the incident of Qin's drugging, and the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would not interfere with the third branch's stay or departure.

Since Xu Jinran is not the old princess' biological son, Xu Letie and Xu Yuxuan have nothing to do with the Ning Palace. So the old princess immediately made a decision to let the third family move out of the Ning Palace immediately.

As for where to move to, that is none of her business as an old woman.

She had spent a lot of time and money to take care of Xu Jinran's health over the years. Later, she helped him get married and start a family, and raised his children.

Now she no longer expected filial piety from the third wife. She just kicked them out. She had done her utmost.

No one in the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion dared to raise any objection, and Qin was held by her mother and dared not speak. Only Xu Letie was unwilling to be kicked out like this, and kept trying to beg the old princess for help, but was pulled away by Nanny Lin and her people.

The old princess was a decisive person. While Qin's family was present, she quickly asked Nanny Lin to take people down and watch the people from the third room move out quickly.

It has been agreed just now that all the properties and valuables under Xu Jinran's name are not allowed to be touched, and Qin can only take away the dowry she brought in. As for the other things, they all belong to the Ning Wang Mansion, and they are not allowed to take away even a needle.

Several people in Pingnan Marquis' Mansion were very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but because they had the upper hand over them, they had no choice but to take their people to the third courtyard in frustration.

Now that these people are gone, the next thing to do is more important.

The old princess changed her previous indifference and ruthlessness, a smile appeared on her face, and she waved to Xu Qinghe who was sitting steadily in the corner.

"Although my mother and I are separated by thousands of miles, perhaps the old prince is still alive and guiding us to meet again."

Her eyes were filled with tears and her voice began to choke and tremble.

Xu Qinghe felt very uncomfortable. He stood up and strode to the old princess.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly feel relieved of all the grievances and hardships he had suffered in Lao Xu's family over the years.

At least he was still alive, returned to his home alive, and saw his mother alive.

Even though he was a man, at this moment, he only felt his chest stuffy and his eyes were dry.

"Child, you have suffered a lot these years, but you will have a mother in the future, and you won't have to live the hard life you had before."

The old princess reached out and held Xu Qinghe's arm. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they fell down.

Nanny Lin had already made arrangements and once again had someone bring back the blood test item.

The others had already guessed this moment, so they held their breath, waiting to see the answer to this paternity test.

Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang had already been dragged to the corner. The tense scene in the hall just now frightened them. They huddled there and dared not make any sound.

When Xu Qinghe just walked out, they didn't dare to recognize him. After staring at him for a while, they finally recognized him.

"No...impossible..."

"You...you're still alive..."
