My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

No matter how eloquent Old Lady Bai was, she was speechless.

In this matter, it is indeed the Marquis's Mansion that is in the wrong, and she and the old Marquis are in the wrong!

Even if she wanted to use her mother-in-law's status to suppress Lan, she would feel guilty and ashamed.

It’s all the fault of that mean-spirited bastard, the third brother!

He is so old, but his parents still have to clean up his mess!

If this wasn't my own child, I would have strangled him to death long ago!

His lips moved a few times, and he finally made a desperate effort. "This is indeed our fault. The miracle doctor took the third brother's pulse and said that he had been exposed to poison for too long. Although this drug is more harmful to women, he always carried it with him, so it still damaged the root."

"The third son is my youngest son. The old marquis and I have always spoiled him and we know his illness. We were afraid he couldn't withstand this blow, so we asked the miracle doctor to hide the truth from him."

"You were ill at the time, and we were worried about Brother Yi'er's health. We were afraid you couldn't handle the shock, so we didn't tell you!"

"I didn't say it then, and I didn't have the chance to say it later, so it's been delayed until today."

"Lan, if you want to blame someone, just blame me, an old woman! We're all mothers, and our hearts are the same! You feel sorry for Yi Ge'er, and I feel sorry for the third brother too! Besides, if a man is out there and word gets out that he's not feeling well, how can he still walk around outside?"

"Just for Yi Ge'er's sake, even if you know, just pretend you don't know. You can do whatever you want with the concubines in the Third Brother's house! From now on, the old marquis and I will order the Third Brother to stop making trouble and live a peaceful life with you, okay?"

Lan smiled.

"Old lady, you mentioned Brother Yi. Have you forgotten who harmed him like this? Brother Yi was a perfectly healthy child, but he has been suffering from poison and illness since birth. He has to thank his dear father, the Third Master, for this!"

"For so many years, Brother Yi and I have always been considerate and caring for the Third Master, and taking care of his reputation! But when has the Third Master ever considered us mother and son and given us face?"

"Why should I punish those concubines and maids? Aren't they just like me, miserable people?"

"Old Madam, please stop talking! I am still grateful to you and the old marquis for protecting us mother and son for so many years. But as for the Third Master, I must ask the imperial physician to diagnose him personally and tell him the result personally!

"Over the years, he has long forgotten the pain a father has inflicted on his son! He has also forgotten the responsibilities a father should fulfill! He still hates and despises Brother Yi all the time, and never forgets to use Brother Yi's body to hurt him!"

"In that case, let him try it too. His body is not good enough, and he can't have offspring. The consequence is that there will only be Yi Ge'er's only child!"

After saying this with a sneer, Lan looked at the old lady Bai: "Old lady, what do you say?"

Old Mrs. Bai leaned back dejectedly. What else could she say?

Every word Lan said was heart-wrenching. Although she was right, her attitude today was clear. If anyone disagreed, the Lan family would probably know about it.

If the Lan family knew about this, things wouldn't end so easily.

If things go wrong, the reputation of the entire mansion will be implicated.

The foundation of the Marquis's Mansion and the other two branches are more important than the third brother alone.

Old Madam Bai quickly made her choice: "Since you insist on doing this, what can an old woman like me do? There's only one thing I can do! No one else is allowed to know about this, except the Third Brother and the Imperial Physician!"

Lan laughed bitterly, "Of course! Even if the Third Master isn't worthy of being a father or a husband, I still know the principle of shared success and shared failure. Naturally, I won't let anyone spread the news and let him bring disaster to my son's reputation!"

Old Mrs. Bai felt relieved.

She is also a decisive person. Since an agreement has been reached, she might as well get things done as soon as possible to avoid any further problems later.

It's also a good opportunity for the third child to wake up and do less stupid things.

He immediately said, "If that's the case, then I'll send a letter and ask Doctor Hu to come to the mansion."

As he spoke, he sent someone to tell the old marquis to come to Ruixuan Hall, and at the same time sent someone to take a visiting card to invite the imperial physician.

He also sent someone to call the third master.

Lan added, "Call the fourth brother over here too, so he can see it with his own eyes and hear it with his own ears."

Old Lady Bai sighed. Her disappointing eldest son had really pissed off Lady Lan and she didn't give him any face at all.

From today onwards, the third brother will probably never be able to raise his head in front of his wife and children again!

If this wasn't her own son, Old Lady Bai would have said that Lan's move of killing people and destroying their hearts was a good one.

But since it involved her own son, the old lady had to grit her teeth and accept it even if her head was throbbing and aching.

The old marquis was the first to arrive.

After getting the news, he guessed that Lan might have guessed the truth.

Sigh, children are all debts!

Because of that incompetent third son, he, as a father-in-law, completely lost all his face in front of his daughter-in-law.

After entering Ruixuan Hall, Lan still bowed politely.

The old marquis's attitude was gentle, with a hint of guilt: "Third daughter-in-law, it is our mansion that has wronged you over the years! We have wronged you and Brother Yi!"

"As for today's matter, just go ahead and do it! I only ask that you consider the face of our mansion! After all, Brother Yi'er's last name is Fu, right?"

Listening to the old marquis's words of both soft and hard tactics, Lan only bowed and said calmly: "Please rest assured, old marquis, your daughter-in-law knows her limits!"

The old marquis hit a snag that was neither too hard nor too soft, touched his nose, and sat down at the top seat awkwardly.

Old Lady Bai gave the old marquis a look, and the old marquis immediately understood and felt relieved.

Fu Zhiyi was the second one to arrive at Ruixuan Hall. He had received an invitation and was going to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but after receiving the message from the servants, he had to ask his long-time servant to inform him that he would go there in the afternoon. Only then did he get away.

When he arrived, there was no sign of the third master.

The old marquis was already angry, and when he saw that everyone had arrived except the third master Fu Heyin, he became even more angry.

At the same time, send someone to urge them.

At the same time, he asked Fu Zhiyi warmly how his studies were going these days.

When he learned that Fu Zhiyi was going to keep an appointment with the Sixth Prince today, his eyes suddenly flashed and he said seriously: "It is naturally a good thing for you to be on good terms with the Sixth Prince, but there is no trivial matter in the royal family, so you must be more careful on weekdays. Our Marquis Mansion has always stayed away from such matters, you know -"

Fu Zhiyi was always respectful in front of the old marquis. "Grandfather, please rest assured. The Sixth Prince and I simply share a common interest in calligraphy and painting. He also recently obtained a piece of calligraphy by a great calligrapher of the previous dynasty and asked me to come over to appreciate it."

"Besides, the Sixth Prince has always been a carefree and unrestrained person, only fond of calligraphy and painting, and never involved in court affairs. Even the Emperor can't handle him. Grandfather, there's no need to worry too much."

The old marquis nodded in satisfaction: "Of course I know! I also know that you know your limits, but I just gave you a warning in vain."

The grandfather and grandson had a very pleasant conversation. The old lady and Mrs. Lan were sitting beside them, watching this scene and also smiled.

At this moment, the maid outside opened the curtain: "The third master is here——"

The door curtain was lifted, and the third master walked in with an unshaven beard, dark circles under his eyes, and a decadent look on his face.
