The old lady glanced at her indifferently and said, "Since you are pregnant, you will be brought into the mansion as a concubine."

As long as you can enter the marquis's mansion, even if you become a humble concubine, it is still a wealth that many people cannot ask for.

Li Lianhua was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, "Thank you very much, old lady."

"Husband and wife are one. Since you are already Mu Lin's concubine, for the sake of his reputation, you should clarify to the people outside that it was you who confused the names of the eldest and second young masters, and it was not Mu Lin who deliberately deceived you."

Aunt Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately stood up, "Yes, you made a mistake!"

"Yes, I was not clear-headed at the time and I misremembered the names of the eldest and second young masters. It's all my fault. I will definitely clear my husband's name."

Li Lianhua was not stupid and agreed to the task without any excuses.

However, she changed the subject, wiped her tears, and said hesitantly, "Madam, this is my fault, but my elder brother is still in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture. Please save my elder brother."

The old lady turned the peach wood Buddhist beads in her hand and said in a light tone, "I will have someone inform the Jingzhao Yin about your elder brother's matter. You should deal with your husband's matter first."

Li Lianhua got her approval and happily agreed immediately, "Yes, I will go out and explain it to them right away to clear my husband's name."

Aunt Qiao just breathed a sigh of relief after looking at her back, but after a while, she saw the housekeeper jogging towards her in a hurry.

"Old Madam, Lord Marquis, Madam, Second Master, someone from the Xue family is here."

Bai Yanlang and Qiao's expressions suddenly changed.

Bai Yanlang asked anxiously, "Did the Xue family tell us what happened?"

The housekeeper looked up at him and said, "The Qiao family is here to cancel the engagement. They have brought the marriage certificate and the original engagement token. They are in the front hall now."

Aunt Qiao nervously pulled Bai Yanlang's sleeve and said, "My husband, go and explain to the Xue family that the rumors outside are not true."

"Uh..." The housekeeper took a deep look at Bai Mulin standing beside him, "Young Master Mulin's mistress just met someone from the Xue family at the door."

Bai Yanlang, Aunt Qiao and her son were struck by lightning.

At this point, there is no way to reverse the situation.

Bai Mulin looked at Bai Yanlang, his lips moved a few times, and finally he drooped his shoulders weakly.

"The Xue family's marriage proposal has been cancelled, and we can look for someone else later." The old lady's face was cold, "Second brother, even if we don't become in-laws, you and Lord Xue are still colleagues. You should apologize to the Xue family."

"Yes."

Bai Yanlang glared at Bai Mulin fiercely, then turned and walked quickly towards the front hall.

The one who came from the Xue family was the second master. He sat in the guest seat, with a cold face and said nothing.

When Bai Yanlang entered the room, he immediately showed a guilty look on his face, and clasped his hands together, "Second Brother Xue, I'm so sorry. It's because I didn't teach my son well enough that he did such a stupid thing."

"Master Bai, I won't say any more polite words."

Master Xue pushed a red engagement letter and a jade pendant left over from the proposal in front of him.

"I am here today to break off the engagement."

"Ugh!"

Bai Yanlang sighed heavily, "It's that rebellious son who's a bastard. Let's just call it quits on this marriage."

He ordered Li He to find Aunt Qiao, take out the other engagement letter and the engagement jade pendant, and exchange them with the second Master Xue.

"Master Bai, there is no need for our two families to have any more contact in the future."

After taking back the engagement letter, the second master of the Xue family didn't even drink a sip of water. He bowed to Bai Yanlang and turned to leave.

Bai Yanlang stared at his back, the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared in an instant, and he slammed the table hard.

The maids and servants in the room were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and looked at their toes.

When Mrs. Lu, who was far away in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, heard about what happened in the Marquis Yongning's Mansion, she laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh.

"That black-hearted guy has completely lost face this time!"

When Bai Luochuan came, he saw her with her bloody mouth wide open. He was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

"mother."

Seeing him, Mrs. Lu was annoyed, "Why are you here if you are not at home being a good son to your father?"

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

Bai Luochuan lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Lu. His sincere look startled Lu.

"Did your father give you the wrong medicine?"

Bai Luochuan: “…”

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Mom, I was ignorant and didn't know people well before, which hurt your feelings. I really know I was wrong."

Not only was Lu suspicious of his behavior, but Yang Momo also looked at him with suspicion.

Lu frowned and asked tentatively, "Are you asking about Dean Kong?"

She didn't wait for Bai Luochuan to speak, and continued: "Your sister has already given the favor of Dean Kong to Qi Yue, so don't even think about it."

Bai Luochuan had never thought of asking for Dean Kong's favor, but when he heard that it was given to Qi Yue, he frowned with displeasure.

"Mom, how can you give Qi Yue a favor from Dean Kong? Why don't you persuade your sister?"

"Hey!"

Mrs. Lu sneered, "Why should I persuade you? Didn't your sister give you a chance? It's you who don't care about it, so what's wrong with her giving it to Yueyue?"

"From childhood to adulthood, Yueyue has been more like a big brother to you. When you helped that little bitch Bai Yaoyao bully her, it was Yueyue who protected and spoiled her."

"If you hadn't come out of my belly, no one would bother with you!"

Mrs. Lu glared at him and angrily took a big sip of tea before she suppressed her anger.

Yang Momo stroked her back and said gently, "You, there is no such thing as overnight hatred between mother and son."

She looked at Bai Luochuan, "Master, no matter how close the relationship is, it can't withstand a few disappointments. Emotions will pass, but the hurt will not fade with time. If you really want the lady and the young lady to forgive you again, you should show the right attitude."

"Mammy, I..."

Bai Luochuan also knew that his attitude just now was a little inappropriate, and his expression was a little unnatural for a moment, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize.

Mrs. Lu got angry just by looking at him, "Get out! Get out! Don't come hanging around me for no reason!"

"mother......"

Bai Luochuan looked aggrieved.

"Get out of here!"

Lu picked up the orange on the table and threw it at him.

Bai Luochuan didn't get a good response when he came to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. Even when he went to visit his grandmother, he was sent away with a word that he was not feeling well.

He left the house dejectedly.

I originally wanted to go back to Yongning Marquis Mansion, but after thinking about it, I went to Jufulou again.

A few days ago, the lecture given by Mr. Mo attracted a lot of scholars and students, and Huixian Tower was crowded every day these days.

Many of his classmates learned that he had attended Mr. Mo's class, and many of them sent him messages.

"Luochuan, you are finally here."
