Soon, a group of people gathered in the old lady's yard.

In addition to the panicked Zhou Miaoyi and her two children, there was also the angry Marquis Jingning.

He sat there, enduring the pain, now seething with rage.

"Evil creature! Where is that evil creature?"

Jing Ning Hou shouted this and smashed the cup directly on Zhou Miaoyi.

They have been married for so many years, and Marquis Jingning has never hit her even when he was angry, but he actually hit her now.

Zhou Miaoyi was extremely panicked, and even more so, she felt aggrieved, because she didn't catch this guy.

"My Lord, please don't wrongly accuse me. I know nothing about this. If I hadn't been called here today, I would still be in the dark."

Hearing Zhou Miaoyi say this, Mrs. Li's eyes were filled with chill.

It’s a good thing the girl is not here. If she were here, I don’t know how sad she would be.

Perhaps it is because I can think of these things that I avoid it.

"You don't know! You don't know that she is a girl and yet she dares to bring people to cause trouble!

You are obviously jealous and intolerant! She is the one I raised outside, and these two children are also my blood. If you don't want to, then I will give you a divorce letter and let you go back to the Zhou family."

Marquis Jingning didn't care about Zhou's thoughts at all, he just stated his decision directly.

Jiang Rou's anxious heart was finally at ease and she was very happy.

No matter how powerful Liu Rumei is, it will be useless if Zhou Miaoyi can't support herself.

"Madam, the Marquis and I are truly in love. As long as you can have a child, I am willing to serve you as a slave."

Hearing this, Zhou Miaoyi's face turned pale.

She is a joke in the first place. If she continues like this, she will have no place to stand.

What should I do? What should I do?

Zhou Miaoyi looked at Liu Xiurong, her only son.

Liu Xiurong frowned and said, "It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Mother, don't stop it. You are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Who can surpass you?"

Hearing this, the second girl Liu Ruyun was stunned.

Is this true? Big brother is stupid! That is a concubine, that is their enemy!

"Brother, you are crazy! Who the hell does she think she is? How dare she embarrass Mother? I will throw her out right now!"

The second son, Liu Xiuyan, was very angry and shook his fist as if he was about to hit someone.

"Second brother, the elders are here, you can't act recklessly."

"Bah! You've become stupid from reading so much!"

"You reckless man!"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight, Marquis Jingning smashed the teacup again.

"Shut up!"

He looked at the two of them and was very disappointed, but fortunately, he still had a son.

At this moment, Liu Xiu De also looked proud, thinking that none of Zhou's children were useful.

"Ms. Zhou, I just ask whether you agree or not!"

Zhou Miaoyi was suddenly in a dilemma. She naturally didn't want to agree, but it seemed that she had no choice.

Just as Marquis Jingning was about to settle the matter, he heard footsteps outside the door.

"My Lord, the eldest girl has returned with the clan leader and the elders of the clan."

Hearing this, Marquis Jingning was slightly stunned and wanted to smash the cup again.

Is this girl so bold and insidious?

This is just embarrassing for yourself, isn't it?

No one would believe it if I told them, but Liu Rumei came back on time.

She had Jiang Rou and her son released because she was sure they would not be able to cause any trouble.

Why did he personally go to invite the clan leader? It was just because he didn't want to watch the commotion in front of them. It was boring.

Moreover, she showed her sincerity by personally inviting talents. She also prepared gifts and a donation of 1,000 taels to maintain the expenses of the clan school.

All the students in the Liu family's clan school are from the same clan, and they are all one family, so the money is not wasted.

The patriarch is also a smart man, so he will naturally do as she says.

The moment Liu Rumei appeared, Zhou Miaoyi didn't feel anything, but Jiang Rou felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

She thought of Liu Rumei's words and asked the clan leader to open the family tree!

She was serious! She really wanted to hurt them.

What kind of luck does Zhou Miaoyi have? None of her three children are good enough for her, but she gave birth to the most ruthless one, Liu Rumei.

Just a girl makes people feel scared and oppressive.

When the clan leader arrived, even the old lady had to stand up. There was no other way because she was the younger generation.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, why is there so much commotion in your house?"

When the old patriarch asked this, the old lady's face became extremely ugly.

The clan leader is the old marquis's uncle. I am the younger generation and cannot act rashly.

But she was used to being superior, and it was really uncomfortable for her.

"Uncle, the child is immature. There is no need to trouble you with such a small matter."

The old lady glared at Liu Rumei after she finished speaking, but Liu Rumei smiled faintly, without any expression of grievance or fear.

“Don’t say that. The eldest girl is just too sensible. She was afraid that the family would be in turmoil, so she invited us old guys to come and take a look.

I heard that this concubine is not an outsider, but your sister's daughter? I remember that your sister married into the Jiang family, and then the Jiang family was punished for corruption. Shouldn't she be exiled to the northwest?"

These words made the old lady feel nervous. Her sister only had this one daughter, so she asked her to take care of her secretly and keep her.

She also didn't expect that these two people could get pregnant before marriage, which made her very embarrassed.

It's really embarrassing now that my past has been exposed.

"A few years ago, on the occasion of the Empress Dowager's birthday, the Emperor issued a general amnesty and pardoned my sister's family."

The old lady said so, but the old patriarch didn't buy it at all.

"My eldest brother's wife, when you were hiding the daughter of a traitor, did you ever consider our Marquis' Mansion? Did you ever consider our Liu Family? If you are not careful, this will implicate the entire clan! Did you ever think about these clansmen at the time?"

The old patriarch slammed the table hard, and Liu Rumei's lips curled up slightly.

Look, I only spent one thousand taels and got to know such a big secret.

"Uncle, I didn't think this through. But she also helped expand our Liu family. The two children were well educated. Xiude, in particular, will take the imperial examination this fall. The teachers at Qinglu Academy all said that he has great potential."

Zhou Miaoyi was very shocked by what the old lady said.

The old lady knew these two children so well, it was obvious that she had known about the mother and her two children a long time ago.

She understood in her heart that the old lady had known about it for a long time and the whole family had kept it from her alone.

But the eldest son, whom he had been counting on, didn't even think about him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miaoyi lowered her head and couldn't help but shed tears.

Liu Rumei didn't even look at her, but looked at the old patriarch, wanting to see if he would back down.

"Since you are so talented in studying, you should be included in the family tree. Why do you live out there?"

The old lady had no way to refute this. Could she say that she wanted Jiang Rou to be her concubine and Liu Xiu De to be her legitimate son?

“If the clan leader supports it, then let’s put these brothers and sisters in the family tree.” The old lady said casually.

"Well, that's fine. Since Jiang Rou is innocent, let's write her name as well."

After the old patriarch said this, his son opened the family tree.

"Write below the Marquis's name, Concubine Jiang Rou, Bastard Liu Xiude!"

Jiang Rou's body trembled. This is absolutely not possible for a bastard!
