Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Qin Shaobei was exhausted and headed straight for the Marquis' Mansion as soon as he landed.

He had a handsome face, and was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe that made him look otherworldly. Even though he was tired from the journey, as soon as he walked in, people couldn't take their eyes off him. He was indescribably handsome, elegant and noble.

"Cousin, you're finally here!"

Shen Ruoyan happily stepped forward to greet him. She and Qin Shaobei had known each other since childhood and they had a very good relationship.

This time, Qin Shaobei went to Beijing to take the exam under the title of Juren. Before coming, he had already agreed to stay in Changning Marquis Mansion - this was to support his cousin!

"My lord, may I ask if you have washed away your reputation of favoring your concubine over your wife? Or do the people in Shengjing City have no manners or shame in their hearts and are tolerant to a certain extent?" If Qin Shaobei didn't speak, it would be fine. But once he opened his mouth, he would definitely kill everyone!

He raised his eyebrows in disdain, "First you favored your concubine and killed your wife, and then you had a mistress. My Lord, you are indeed a native of Shengjing. You are really different. You make me, a bumpkin from other places, look at you with new eyes!"

"Cousin, you misunderstood."

Lu Jing's face turned pale, but he couldn't think of a word to refute.

Qin Shaobei is not some country bumpkin. He is the son of Aunt Shen Ruoyan. Although the Qin family is not a scholarly family, it is the richest family in Xuzhou!

Shen Ruoyan's maternal grandfather's family started out as a silk business. Later, they took advantage of the geographical advantage to develop shipping, and became the first family in Xuzhou to engage in overseas business.

The Qin family's business is spread all over the country. If it is said that there is no scholar who does not know the Shen family, then among the businessmen, the Qin family's status is even higher than that of the Shen family!

After all, if you really count, all the major business houses have intricate connections with the Qin family, with countless connections.

It’s just that the Qin family is becoming more low-key now and never shows off.

But the strength of the Qin family should not be underestimated.

Lu Jing didn't expect that Qin Shaobei would hear what he just said. Shen Ruoyan was really something. Qin Shaobei was coming, but he didn't even inform him in advance!

"What's the misunderstanding?" Qin Shaobei doesn't like to play tricks. His family is in business, but Qin Shaobei didn't inherit any of the tact and insight of business. He has loved reading since he was a child, and his biggest dream is to become an invincible censor!

If Lu Jing provokes him, he will hit a brick wall!

"I misunderstood that you didn't favor your concubine over your wife, or that you didn't let your concubine marry into the family?" Qin Shaobei's eyes showed some disgust when he mentioned this matter. "My Ah Yan has a good temper, and you tricked her into raising your concubine as your own son. Now I'm asking for a divorce, and you still want to threaten her with divorcing your wife?"

Qin Shaobei sneered, "If you dare to divorce my wife, I will file a complaint with the emperor tomorrow!"

If it were someone else, Lu Jing really wouldn't believe it.

But what Qin Shaobei said...this madman might really be able to do it!

Even though he was far away in Shengjing, Lu Jing had heard a lot of rumors about Qin Shaobei. Moreover, they were not heard from Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan rarely mentioned her family in front of Lu Jing because Old Madam Lu didn't like them. Although Lu Jing didn't say it explicitly, he looked very impatient every time, which clearly showed that he didn't like them either.

So over time, Shen Ruoyan stopped talking.

However, the Lishan Academy founded by Shen Ruoyan's grandfather was a place that all the nobles wanted to send their children to study. Even the princes studied at the Lishan Academy when they went on tours incognito.

Qin Shaobei was naturally among them, but his fame was not due to his talent, but because of his unyielding mouth!

At that time, the youngest son of the King of Southwest relied on his noble status to act tyrannically in Lishan Academy and bully his classmates.

Others were afraid of power and dared not to step forward. Only Qin Shaobei quoted classics from ancient times to the present and scolded the young prince so badly that he had no power to fight back!

The most important thing is, after he scolded the young prince, he also scolded the Prince of the Southwest, saying that he had no idea how to educate his children and that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked - it just so happened that the emperor had a deep opinion of the Prince of the Southwest at that time, so Qin Shaobei not only got away with it, but also made the Prince of the Southwest suffer a criticism.

From then on, he became famous in one battle!

Lu Jing didn't think that his power was comparable to that of the King of Southwest, and he believed that even if the emperor was here, Qin Shaobei would still scold him!

This guy takes it as his responsibility to be a fair and strict censor every day. No grain of sand can confuse his eyes. He is really difficult to deal with!

Forget it, one cannot fight with a mad dog, so he endured it!

"Cousin, you really misunderstood. What I said just now was just a spur of the moment. Don't take it seriously." Lu Jing looked at Shen Ruoyan affectionately, and his expression changing skills were amazing. "Ruoyan is my only wife. I will never divorce her in this life."

The words of divorce were just to scare Shen Ruoyan.

Just based on her family background, Lu Jing would not really divorce his wife.

Therefore, Qin Shaobei must be appeased now. Otherwise, if the Shen family knew about this, there would be more trouble later.

It was just that Lu Jing had a good idea, but Qin Shaobei didn't buy it at all. Seeing that he wanted to cover up the divorce, he changed the subject and said, "Since you don't plan to divorce your wife, shouldn't you give us an explanation about the matter of your mistress?"

Qin Shaobei raised his chin slightly, full of arrogance, "You don't think that this matter can be let go, right?"

The concubine...

Hearing these three words, Lu Jing's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, and it was extremely painful.

But he knew that this matter was Shen Ruoyan's handle on him. Fang Rou and Lu Ankang's identities were not to be seen in public. If outsiders knew that his Changning Marquisate raised his concubine's son as his legitimate son, their saliva would be enough to flood the gate of the Marquisate!

"Don't worry, cousin. I have already sent the concubine to the manor. As for the concubine... she is of low status and will not affect the lady."

Qin Shaobei is not Shen Ruoyan, who can be dismissed with just a few words.

He glanced at Shen Ruoyan and said, "Sister, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Lu Jing looked over expectantly. As long as Shen Ruoyan could agree, Qin Shaobei, an outsider, would definitely not be able to say anything!

But Shen Ruoyan shook her head.

He didn't just shake his head gently, but his eyes were red and he shook his head with great grievance!

Qin Shaobei was so irritated that he went crazy on the spot. Great! How dare they bully his sister like this? Did they really think that there was no one left in the Qin and Shen families? !

"Don't say my sister is not satisfied. Even if she is satisfied, I can't let her suffer this injustice!" Qin Shaobei asked someone to bring out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "My Lord, words are not enough, especially for this man. His words become nothing but air when he turns around. He can't be trusted at all."

He wrote a long paragraph with a flourish of his pen, "My Lord, please take a look. If you have no objection, please sign and seal it."

Lu Jing didn't understand what was going on, so he walked forward and looked at it carefully.

The more he read, the more frightened he became. When he finished reading the last word, he was so angry that his face turned red and his stomach was about to burst into flames.

"Don't deceive people too much!"
