Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

[The Xi Qingshan that your aunt likes is the modern Chen Shimei, a scumbag, a gigolo, a sea king, and a big liar!

Not only did he have a wife in his hometown who ate coarse food to support his studies, but he also had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight other lovers in the capital. (This is an exaggeration by the system)

Not only that, but three years ago, when I went to Beijing for the imperial examination, I hooked up with a wealthy widow. I've been living and eating at her house for the past three years, and only half a year ago, when I returned to the capital, I met your aunt.

Mrs. Jiang: So... her sister picked the worst man after much deliberation?

Jiang Yueyang: [Uh... my aunt's eyesight.]

My aunt Song Xihe has been loved since she was a child because she is the only daughter in the Song family.

Also, because my family is rich, I think I should choose my husband carefully.

But after picking from the year I came of age until now, I still ended up picking a rotten cucumber.

Jiang Yueyang sighed silently in her heart, and said to her mother after careful consideration: "Mom, I don't think there's any need to rush into deciding my aunt's marriage. The imperial examination is coming soon, and we can find a husband from the list."

"But... your aunt seems to like Xi Qingshan very much."

"Just because you like him today doesn't mean you'll like him tomorrow. Maybe after seeing other talented men, your aunt won't like Xi Qingshan anymore."

Mrs. Jiang felt that her daughter was right. In any case, her sister would never be engaged to Xi Qingshan.

This marriage must fail!

***

The Duke's Mansion.

Nanny Su, Mrs. Su and the midwife who delivered the Duke's wife all knelt on the ground trembling.

Lady Su Guogong asked, "Madam Su, I believe I have treated you well, how could you be so cruel and heartless?"

Madam Su kowtowed loudly, "Madam, I was bewildered for a moment. I know I was wrong. Please, Madam, for the sake of my care for you since I was a child, please spare my life."

"It's none of my fault. She asked me to do it!" The midwife pointed at Nanny Su and tried to shirk responsibility.

"It's none of my business. My mom said that if we swap the two children, we'll have endless money in the future. I don't want to do that. I really don't want to do that. Who would want to give their child to someone else?"

When Nanny Su heard the two people putting all the blame on her, she immediately rushed over and tore them apart. "If you don't agree, can I change the child? Don't try to shirk responsibility. If we die, we die together!"

"I didn't agree, you forced me to do it!"

"You are my mother, how dare I resist you?"

"My Lord, Madam, I was forced to do this."

When Duke Su saw the three men pulling each other's hair and fighting in front of him, his anger rose rapidly and he grabbed the teacup at hand and smashed it at them.

"Shut up, everyone!"

"Ah! My eyes."

The broken pieces of the teacup flew up and pierced Su's eyes, causing blood to flow.

Su was in excruciating pain, and Duke Su had a headache so he had her taken away first.

At this time, Qiao Xi came back.

She walked to Duke Su's ear and whispered a few words. Duke Su widened his eyes slightly in disbelief. After pondering for a moment, he asked someone to go to Songhe Academy to call back Young Master Qiao Qingbai.

Qiao Qingbai had been a poor student since childhood and failed to pass the entrance exam to the Imperial College, and Duke Su did not want to waste the imperial privilege on him.

So, Duke Su spent money to get him into the fairly good Songhe Academy.

Qiao Xi said, "Dad, I'm going to go back and see Yuanyuan first."

After Qiao Xi brought Su Yuanyuan back, she placed her in her own yard, where her personal maid was accompanying her.

Duke Su nodded, then looked at his wife, "Madam, you should come too."

He didn't want his wife to see what happened next.

Upon hearing this, Lady Su was delighted and stood up quickly.

She hasn't seen her daughter since she found out the two children were switched.

Because Su Yuanyuan is very cautious and doesn't trust anyone except Qiao Xi, even if the person is in the mansion now, Lady Su Guogong cannot see him.

After the mother and daughter left, Duke Su thought more and more about it and wanted to kill them immediately.

So he ordered his men to beat them severely, as long as they were still breathing.

When Qiao Qingbai was called back, he saw them being beaten and screaming.

He felt uneasy, thinking that the fact that he was not the son of the Duke's Mansion had been known.

Damn it, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time.

Qiao Qingbai pretended to be calm and saluted Duke Su, "Qingbai greets father."

Duke Su responded in a deep voice, "Qingbai, do you know why I called you back?"

"My son doesn't know."

"Then do you recognize the woman on the far left?" Duke Su was referring to the midwife.

Qingbai pretended to take a serious look and said, "My son doesn't recognize him."

"Where's the other one?"

“I don’t know either.”

Duke Su felt sad and asked again, "Are you sure you don't know him?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingbai immediately glanced at Madam Su again, then changed his tone and said, "I just took a closer look, and that woman seems to be Madam Su's family member. I've seen her come to see Madam Su before."

Duke Su looked at him with deep eyes, and his voice was filled with an imperceptible coldness. "I heard something today."

The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Qiao Qingbai pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, "Father heard...what is it?"

"Some people say you are not...a child of my Qiao family."

Qiao Qingbai's face turned pale in an instant, and his hands hidden under his wide sleeves trembled uncontrollably.

"Ridiculous! My son was born after ten months of pregnancy. How can he not be the Qiao family's child? Father, who is talking nonsense? I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Jiang Yueyang: Who wants to teach me a lesson?

"Someone who neither you nor I can teach a lesson."

Qiao Qingbai: "..."

Could it be that the current emperor is the one that even my father couldn't teach a lesson to?

Emperor Yuan, who was in the palace, sneezed violently, "It must be Jiang Yueyang who is scolding me. No one else dares to do that except her."

If Jiang Yueyang knew, he would definitely say that it was unfair that the pot came from the sky while you were sitting at home!

Speaking of the Duke's Mansion, Qiao Qingbai became even more frightened when he learned that the person who revealed his identity was a powerful person.

He asked tremblingly, "Father, do you really believe what you said about me not being your son?"

"Yes." Duke Su answered simply, "I have found my daughter who was switched with you."

"Father, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Duke Su gradually lost his patience and angrily said, "You still refuse to admit it! You already knew you were not my son, and yet you tried to kill my daughter."

Hearing this, Qiao Qingbai knew that Duke Su already knew everything. If he continued to deny it, it would only anger Duke Su even more.

So, he sank to his knees and said, "Father, I'm so scared. I'm afraid that you and Mother will abandon me if you find out that I'm not your child."

After a while, Duke Su closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of our father-son relationship, I won't kill you. Go away. From today on, you are no longer a member of the Duke's Mansion."

Two hours later, Duke Su brought Nanny Su, who was barely alive, and the other two to the government. Because the case involved personal concerns, it was not open to the public.

In the end, Nanny Su and the other two were sentenced to death by hanging, and Qiao Qingbai disappeared.

The next day, not long after Jiang Yueyang returned home from court, Song Qian brought his entire family to the Jiang Mansion.

"Grandfather."

The moment Jiang Yueyang saw Song Qian, she lifted up her skirt and ran up to him. Song Qian quickly moved aside.

"You're a grown-up girl now. You can't cuddle like that anymore."

Jiang Yueyang pouted, "Okay."

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, third brother..." Minister Jiang and his wife also greeted each of them.

"Yangyang, is your grandfather the only one in your eyes?"

Jiang Yueyang grinned when he heard this, "Yangyang meets the eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and all the cousins."

Song Xihe didn't hear her calling him and coughed heavily twice.

"Auntie, do you have a sore throat?"

Song Xihe: “…”

Song Xihe waved his fist, "Jiang Yueyang, are you looking for a fight?"

Jiang Yueyang was not afraid of her at all, "Grandfather, my aunt said she wanted to beat me."

Song Qian smiled and shook his head, "Okay, don't be angry with her."

"My younger sister is getting engaged soon. If you make her angry and delay things, she will be very annoyed with you later." said the eldest uncle.

"I don't agree with this marriage."
