The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

Mu Lianzhi's words almost frightened several people to death. Suddenly, Jiang stood up from her chair:

"Brothers and sisters?"

This scene was actually performed specifically for outsiders to see, just to find a way for Sang Xi and her son to enter the mansion.

She had never thought of hiding it from Mu Lianzhi, but after all, the mother and son were registered under the name of their first wife. In other words, they had nothing to do with the second wife. She had never thought that she would come, let alone know about it.

Suddenly, Jiang was really panicked.

Now, if the old things were to be brought up again and changes happened in the Marquis' Mansion again, the first ones to suffer would be their eldest wife.

Originally, what happened today was a family matter, and it would be over after just a formality. Who could have thought that it was such a coincidence that the Duke of Fuguo would come to the door without any warning today?

She was already a little upset that she was caught, which might have a negative impact on Ling Feier's marriage; furthermore, if it was seen by outsiders, there was no guarantee that the news would not spread, which would be another loss to the reputation of their eldest wife. She was also in such a state of panic after seeing this. At that moment, Jiang really wanted to die.

Before she could figure out how to explain, Mu Lianzhi suddenly screamed again:

"I remember now, aren't you the lady from Jinyufang who liked my hairpin? You, you guys..."

She bent down and looked at Sang Xi on the ground as if to confirm it. She looked at Jiang and Ling Yuchi in shock, and finally her eyes fell back on the woman. She frowned in confusion:

"Auntie, isn't your husband's surname Wang, not Ling? I remember the shop owner telling me that we were not from the same family five hundred years ago. Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

"Why did I hear that it was Big Brother's mistress who came to visit? And she already has an illegitimate child?"

"Is it this auntie, no, this sister?"

"Oh, that's not right! I remember the last time I went out to repair my hairpin, you said your husband accompanied you shopping and bought you your favorite snacks. Didn't you say your husband likes to write? My elder brother is a military general and he loves martial arts. Besides, at that time, my elder brother was still in prison."

"Mother, did she just say that this child is the grandson of our Marquis' Mansion?"

"Is there something wrong with this?"

"Brother, you are very affectionate and have a deep love with your sister-in-law, which makes others envious! Although this sister looks much younger than your sister-in-law, you won't do such a foolish thing, right?"

"Sister, our mansion is not an ordinary family. Don't make false accusations. My eldest brother has no shortage of sons. Our eldest young master is a Jinshi. He is really amazing."

"Mother, I feel that there are too many doubts about this matter. We should investigate it carefully. The bloodline of the Marquisate cannot be mixed up."

After Mu Lianzhi said this, several people felt more or less upset.

The old lady was annoyed that Sang was talking nonsense and creating trouble outside, Ling Yuchi's face turned red because of what he said, and Jiang felt even more upset. She was already feeling wronged, and her appearance was belittled in public. When she thought that things might still go wrong, she felt that today's incident was a big loss.

If Sang can’t get in through this door today, forget about it in the future.

Jiang was actually worried about leaving such a time bomb outside. She didn't know what a lonely woman might do.

The three of them exchanged glances, and they all knew what was going on.

Knowing that Mu Lianzhi had not discovered the truth, Jiang was relieved a little. She regained her mind and started to attack the ground:

"Is what the Second Madam said true? Speak now!"

She gave Ling Yuchi a look, and Ling Yuchi was not stupid. He stood up and kicked Sang:

"Bitch!"

"Are you raising a kid behind my back? I'm suffering in prison, saving money for you, feeling guilty towards my wife and children, and you treat me like this?"

"If you don't explain clearly today, I'll beat you to death."

Although he was just pretending, controlling his strength and winking at her, this kick still sent Sang to the ground, causing her to burst into tears due to the pain:

"Woo woo, sir, that's not the case."

"I am wronged."

Because they had discussed the script before, and knew that this was her only way out, Sang Xi reluctantly climbed up again:

"What I said was all nonsense, sir. You always said that we shouldn't let outsiders know about our relationship. I deliberately said the opposite because I was afraid of causing trouble for you."

"That day, it wasn't that I wanted to go out. It was just that I hadn't heard from you for a long time. I didn't know your situation, so I thought of going out to find out."

"I didn't know where to go, so I walked around in a daze."

"Madam, Master, Madam, I am from a good family and have learned propriety and integrity. The incident with Master was purely accidental. I did not expect to get pregnant in one try."

"Don't blame me, he placed me outside because he felt guilty and didn't know what to do with me."

"Although I am a concubine, my family holds an official position and I have a clean record. I have no other choice but to come here to ask for help."

Sang Xi was sobbing and heartbroken. She never expected that she would end up in such a situation.

Originally, she looked forward to returning to the Marquis' Mansion early every day, waiting for Ling Wenzhan to resume his official position so that she could become an official's wife. With Ling Wenzhan's intelligence and talent, she was sure that he would have a good future.

They have also been planning and preparing.

Who could have thought that an accident would change everything?

Once Ling Wenzhan died, she would be nothing. The Langzhong Mansion thought she was a disgrace. She had had an affair without a matchmaker and had given birth to a child. She was worse than a widow. Unless she married down, it would be good enough for her to be someone's concubine in the future.

She is not reconciled.

The child she gave birth to was the grandson of the Marquis's family. According to common sense, anyone with a little achievement could be granted the title of Crown Prince.

At the moment, the Marquis' Mansion is willing to give her status and opportunities, so she has to seize it. She doesn't have much choice.

Seeing that she was quite smart and quick to react, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, Ling Yuchi begged on his knees, and the old lady made the final decision. Sang entered the mansion as a concubine, Jiang left early in anger, and Mu Lianzhi naturally would not express any opinion, and the play ended like this.

……

Back at Yuxiu Courtyard, Mu Lianzhi played with a leaf she picked up on the road, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up in sneer.

The nameless and unnamed woman would be taken back to be raised in glory, but she would not be given any chance to live~

What exactly did she owe to the Marquis's Mansion?

Just because her family has no power and influence and she has no one to rely on, does she deserve to be deceived and used by them and become a stepping stone for all of them?

Good, it's really good~

All the enemies gathered together.

Hatred surged in her heart, and she unconsciously clenched her hands. Mu Lianzhi found that the leaves in her hands had turned into a pile of dry powder. Suddenly, she was stunned:

Didn’t she pick fresh leaves?

Why did it dry up?

Did she remember it wrong?

At this moment, Leng Yun walked in, stepped forward, and handed over a note with both hands:

"Miss, there is a letter from the Lord—"
