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

Ling Jiuyuan, who was originally worried, understood what his second aunt said and nodded: "I did have doubts, but every time I asked my mother, she would cry and make a fuss, so I stopped asking."

"I wanted to come and see you before, but I was afraid that she would cry and make things difficult for you. But today is different. With Marquis Wan Ning as the middleman, even if something happens today, outsiders will not think that the Ling family is forcing your mother to do anything." Ling Xue saluted Marquis Wan Ning, "Marquis Wan Ning, we will go with you. I have something to say today, and I also want to talk to my sister-in-law in person."

Ling family.

When a group of people came in.

Then I heard the wife of the Marquis of Wanning yelling, "Let go of Han'er, come at me if you have anything to say."

"I want to see my son. If I can't see him, I will die with your daughter."

"Mrs. Ling, your son is not an object. Why do you ask him to accompany you all day long and obey you in everything? Do you behave like a mother?" Lu Han was not panicked at all and even questioned Mrs. Ling with full energy.

"He is my son, so he should be with me, and stay with me through life and death!"

When Mrs. Ling said this, everyone frowned at the same time.

Especially Ling Xue, whose face was filled with dark clouds.

Ling Jiuyuan rushed into the courtyard first and shouted to his mother, "Mom, don't be impulsive. I'm back."

"Yuan, Yuan'er..."

The moment Mrs. Ling saw her son, the dagger that was originally against Lu Han's neck instantly slipped from her hand.

Then, she suddenly fell to the ground, tears falling like beads from a broken string: "Yuan'er, when I woke up, I found that you were gone. Yuan'er, they, they all bullied me."

"Han'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Yuan Buwei saw her mother-in-law supporting Lu Han, and hurried over to help her check her neck: "Luckily it's just a small scratch, Han'er, I'll apply some hemostatic powder and it won't hurt."

"Father, sister-in-law, brother, you...you are all here?" Lu Han was not too frightened when she saw her father and sister-in-law, but she became really nervous when she saw her brother in a wheelchair was also here.

"We heard that you were kidnapped by Madam Ling. We were shocked and scared."

"Sister-in-law, I'm telling you, I think there's something wrong with this Madam Ling." Lu Han leaned close to Yuan Buwei's ear and said, "Didn't they say she's in poor health? But she's so strong that I couldn't break free. I really don't see that she's sick at all."

"Most of her illness is psychological, not physical."

"Then... is it difficult to cure?"

Yuan Buwei didn't say anything, but just looked up at Ling Xue and Ling Jiuyuan.

"Xu Ruolian, so many years have passed. Why are you still the same as before, only able to use these shameful methods?"

Madam Ling was stunned, looking at the person slowly walking towards her. The next second, she immediately jumped up and ran towards her son: "Yuan'er, why is she here? Quick, let her go, I don't want to see her, let her go."

"Xu Ruolian, you acted crazy and stupid before, I could tolerate you, but this time, it concerns Yuan'er's future, I will never let you ruin him again."

“Ah, no, don’t hit me, ahhh…”

Mrs. Ling suddenly screamed, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ling Xue desperately: "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't lock me up, I won't dare to do it again, I will never..."

Her action stunned everyone present.

Only Yuan Buwei took a step forward, took out a few silver needles and stabbed them into Madam Ling's head quickly and accurately: "This is the fastest way to calm people down."

Mrs. Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that she was not immobilized, so she immediately started to kowtow again, going crazy.

Her action immediately confirmed Yuan Buwei's guess: "Madam Ling, I have the second half of my sentence. My acupuncture method is only useful for people who are truly sick. If you are pretending to be sick, it will be useless."

Mrs. Ling was startled. She didn't know whether her waist, which was originally half bent, was rising or falling.

Ling Jiuyuan was a little shocked and a little unconvinced: "Young Madam, what do you mean by this?"

"Mrs. Lu means that your mother is not ill at all, she was just pretending from beginning to end." After Ling Xue finished speaking, she walked towards Mrs. Ling, raised her hand and slapped her in the face, "Xu Ruolian, I will reveal your true face in front of everyone today!"

"True, true face?" Ling Jiuyuan's face turned pale and he staggered several times.

"Yuan'er, in fact, the person who made the engagement with your father was not your mother."

"What did you say?" Ling Jiuyuan looked up, his pupils locked.

"Yuan'er, ah, my head hurts so much, Yuan'er, let them go, quickly..."

Ling Xue couldn't stand it any longer. She waved her hand and brought two maids to tie up Madam Ling immediately: "Xu Ruolian, if you yell again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Mrs. Ling was frightened by Ling Xue's sharp eyes. She immediately stopped talking and her eyes were wide open in fear.

"The person who made the engagement with your mother at that time was your mother's sister, Xu Ruoxi."

"Second aunt, didn't she pass away a long time ago?" Ling Jiuyuan knew that his mother had a younger sister, but he heard that she died of illness before he was born.

"It was because your second aunt was weak and sickly that your grandfather wanted to find her a man with a bit of murderous aura, so that the murderous aura could kill the sickness in her body. After searching for almost half a year, he decided on your eldest brother. At that time, your eldest brother was only focused on fighting and had no intention of getting married. As a result, after being coaxed by his parents to meet your second aunt, he agreed. The two families did not expect this matter to go so smoothly, and when they were preparing for a lively wedding..."

Ling Xue was halfway through her words when her sharp eyes suddenly fell on Madam Ling's face. "Xu Ruolian, who had already been rejected by three families at the time, was jealous of her sister marrying a general. In order to replace your second aunt, she took advantage of her illness and used despicable means to have the servants take away her innocence. When your grandparents found out, they were furious. Your second aunt's illness was aggravated by this incident, and she died before she could even make it to the wedding day."

Ling Jiuyuan's face turned paler inch by inch.

When I looked at my mother, I felt strange.

"Although the Ling Mansion was not very prominent in the capital at that time, it was still somewhat famous. Your grandfather knew that this was a good match, so he concealed the news of your second aunt's death and let your mother marry in her place. On the day of the wedding, your eldest brother and your mother got married. On the wedding night, your eldest brother found out that the bride was not your second aunt. He was so angry that he wanted to take up a sword to settle the score with your grandfather. As a result, your mother knelt down and cried and complained about her grievances, never mentioning that she was the one who killed your second aunt, her own biological sister."

Ling Xue looked at Madam Ling, who was being held down and gradually losing her voice: "Xu Ruolian, when my eldest brother brought back that orphan girl, you recognized at first sight that she looked very similar to your sister, right?"
