It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"I'll say it one last time, give my son back to me, you are all a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites!"

As soon as Yuan Buwei stepped into the front hall, she heard Mrs. Ling roaring hysterically.

"Madam Ling, I have sent someone to call your son over. Can you please calm down?" The wife of Marquis Wanning was also frightened. She never expected that Madam Ling would be so emotional.

"Mother-in-law."

When Yuan Buwei stepped in, she happened to meet Mrs. Ling, who was standing at the door with a wary look on her face.

She was wearing a washed-out dress, her hair was messy, her eyes were red, and her face was pale.

Seeing Yuan Buwei coming in, he immediately took several steps back: "You vixen, why are you here?"

"Bu Wei, be careful."

Madam Wanning Hou quickly walked to Yuan Buwei, pulled her behind her and whispered, "Madam Ling seems to have some problems with her brain. When I brought her in just now, whenever she saw a maid passing by, she said she was a vixen who seduced her husband."

Yuan Buwei's heart suddenly felt heavy after hearing this.

Mrs. Ling was ill, but not physically, but mentally.

Her heart had long been corroded by darkness, or rather, she could not get over her husband's betrayal, and while she was sinking deeper and deeper into it, she also forced Ling Jiuyuan to bear it with her, simply because he was her and her husband's common son.

"Mrs. Ling, no one is here to hurt you, and there is no vixen either. Are you hungry? Sit down and eat something first, okay?"

"You are a vixen, the vixen who seduced my husband. Even if you were burned to ashes, I would recognize you." Mrs. Ling, who was completely immersed in her own emotions, stared at Yuan Buwei. "The day he brought you back, you were wearing the same pink clothes as today, but he clearly said that he didn't like pink. He liked blue, blue."

Madam Wanning was a little frightened by Madam Ling's crazy look: "Awei, do you have any medicine that can calm her down a little? She is so excited, it's too harmful to her health."

"She's in this state, I'm afraid she can't get close to her identity. If we forcibly capture her, it will leave a shadow on her." While Yuan Buwei was speaking, she saw Ling Jiuyuan rushing in at the door, "Lord Ling is here."

"Mother, mother."

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er."

The moment she saw her son, Mrs. Ling was like seeing a savior. She grabbed her son's hand with one hand and pointed at Yuan Buwei with the other hand: "Yuan'er, it was this vixen who seduced your father to the point of losing his soul. You should kill her quickly. Then, our family of three can be reunited."

"Mother, she is not the orphan girl father met. She is the wife of Young Marquis Lu, Madam Lu." Ling Jiuyuan looked at Madam Wanning and Yuan Buwei with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm sorry, my mother's memory has been confused since a year ago, and she always does things that hurt people. I really have no choice but to put down my work and stay at home with her. Today I gave her some calming soup, thinking that when I go back, she should have just woken up, but I didn't expect her to wake up so soon and find this place."

"Lord Ling, there is no need to blame yourself. I have encountered several cases like your mother in the Medicine King Valley before. Medicines can only play an auxiliary role. The real root of the disease is in your mother's heart." Yuan Buwei remembered that the eldest sister said that with this type of patients, one must be more patient, because any slight disturbance will make them become frightened birds, and even make the condition worse.

"I know."

Ling Jiuyuan nodded, his voice choking: "I know that my mother is trapped by herself, but I think that one day, she will be able to walk out."

"Yuan'er, why don't you kill that vixen?" Madam Ling didn't care what they said. She only cared about why the vixen who destroyed her family was still alive and well. "It was her appearance that broke our family apart."

"Mom, I know, I know everything. Can we go home first?"

"No, I won't leave until you kill this vixen!"

"Mrs. Ling, I remember that the orphan girl brought back by General Ling ran into the coffin and died when she learned that General Ling's body had been brought back. When she died, she was pregnant with a six-month-old boy."

Yuan Buwei looked at her mother-in-law in surprise.

Madam Wanning gave her daughter-in-law a calming look and walked towards Madam Ling step by step: "That orphan girl did do something wrong, but the real culprit is General Ling. If he had insisted on taking the orphan girl as a concubine, the following things would not have happened. And as his legitimate wife, why didn't you take the initiative when he brought the orphan girl back and acknowledge her as your own, or find a good marriage for her? You had many opportunities, but you missed them all."

"No, that's not the case..."

"The Ling family may not be as wealthy as the famous families, but it is still a well-known family in the capital. As the mistress of the Ling family, you did not deal with the matter immediately. Instead, you had a quarrel with your husband, and finally let the situation get out of control. Three people died at once. If it was your son and pregnant daughter-in-law who were forced to death by your family, what would you think?"

Yuan Buwei initially thought that the orphan girl was still alive, but it turned out that the orphan committed suicide while pregnant.

Madam Ling, as the mistress of the Ling family, forced her husband and pregnant concubine to death. This is a top priority no matter which family it is.

But not only did she not realize the seriousness of the situation, she also stubbornly took her son away, determined to cut off all ties with the Ling family.

Ling Jiuyuan was in a very difficult situation, with his father on one side and his mother on the other. His father was dead, and his mother always asked him to kill the vixen that had long been dead.

He is able to stay calm, his mental state is simply too strong.

No wonder Lu Sui praised him so highly.

"No, no, I don't want his life. I just wonder why he betrayed me. He promised to be with me forever." Mrs. Ling shook her head, tears as big as beans falling down.

"Mrs. Ling, if you want to be with someone for the rest of your life, then go find someone who shares your thoughts..."

"No, what do you know? Wan Ning Hou treats you so well, he doesn't have a concubine, you don't even know..."

"I'm not the original wife."

Madam Wanning interrupted Madam Ling and said, "I am the second wife. When I first entered the mansion, Sui'er, my stepson, wouldn't even look at me. If I follow your way, do I have to use all kinds of rules to force him to recognize you as his stepmother?"

"So what if she's a concubine? As long as she's an elder, he should bow his head!" Madam Ling seemed to have calmed down now, and still had the energy to confront Madam Wanning. "If your husband brought back a concubine from somewhere, and they had a child, what would you do?"
