Lin Yiwan said nonchalantly, "As long as Zhan Yan agrees, I have nothing to say. I'll go back and tidy up the yard for them. I hope the Queen can make our mansion lively again as soon as possible!"

The queen thought to herself, how could Zhan Yan not agree? There are very few men in this world who don't have their cake and eat it too.

What’s more important is that Lin Yiwan has already given birth to three children. Even though her appearance remains the same, her body is definitely different from before.

Zhan Yan will definitely get tired of it!

I don't believe that he doesn't like the little girl who is like a flower bud. He will never refuse the marriage.

Thinking of this, the queen felt a little relieved.

Lin Yiwan was not in a hurry to leave the palace. She had to go and see how badly Mrs. Qin was beaten.

When she came into the yard, she smelled a strong smell of blood.

Mrs. Qin was beaten to death, and her gray clothes were soaked with blood.

When she saw Lin Yiwan, hatred burst out in her eyes.

She gnashed her teeth and asked, "How did I offend you that you are so cruel to me?"

Lin Yiwan's eyes widened in shock. "The Queen didn't order you to be beaten, so why are you accusing me? I'm so innocent."

Mrs. Qin was so angry that her heart ached and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

She said in a hateful voice: "You humiliate our Subei Qin family like this, our Subei Qin family will definitely not let it go. Just wait and see, wait for me to send a letter back, and see if they don't come after you!"

Lin Yiwan suddenly realized, "So the Subei Qin family is so powerful that they no longer take the royal princess seriously? Are they planning a rebellion?"

Mrs. Qin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She still underestimated how terrifying Lin Yiwan was.

If such a crime is pinned on the Qin family in northern Jiangsu, there will be mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

She no longer dared to act stubbornly. She cried and argued, "Madam Hou, it's my fault for not keeping my mouth shut. Please don't argue with me. It's my fault. It has nothing to do with the Qin family in northern Jiangsu!"

Lin Yiwan stared down at her condescendingly: "Then tell me, who hit you?"

Madam Qin sobbed and replied, "I asked for it. I deserve it!"

Lin Yiwan pressed on, "Will the Qin family in northern Jiangsu come after me for the beating you received?"

Madam Qin shook her head like a rattle: "No, they certainly wouldn't dare!"

Lin Yiwan nodded in satisfaction, but she still had a question in her mind. She couldn't understand why the woman in front of her could be so cruel as to poison her own daughter. Didn't she care at all about the flesh falling from her body?

She asked in a deep voice, "Madam Qin, I'm just curious. They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You only have one child, Qin Duanyan. Why did you watch her die? You even refused to take her body?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Mrs. Qin's face. She never expected Lin Yiwan to ask her this question.

She said angrily, "She did such a shameful thing and brought shame to the family. Committing suicide out of fear of punishment is the best outcome for her. Didn't Luo Feng collect her body? Someone like her who died a violent death and bore the guilt of her crime has no right to be buried in our Qin family's ancestral tomb!"

Lin Yiwan noticed that when Mrs. Qin mentioned Qin Duanyan, she only felt disgust, and did not have the reluctance and sadness of a mother.

An idea suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be that Qin Duanyan was not her biological child at all?

Is that why she is so cruel and heartless?

Thinking of this, everything seems to make sense.

She sarcastically said, "Madam Qin, don't think I can't see it. If I'm not mistaken, Qin Duanyan is not your child at all, right? Where did you secretly take a baby and raise him by your side?"

Madam Qin was trembling all over. She flatly denied it: "Madam Hou, you, don't make random guesses. Duan Yan, he is my child. The maids and nannies around me can testify to this!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but sneer, "I don't believe it. Whose biological mother wouldn't even accept the corpse of her own child? And every time she mentions her, her face is filled with disgust and aversion."

Madam Qin secretly regretted that she should not have entered the palace. Not only was she severely beaten, but now she had to endure Lin Yiwan's interrogation.

Before she could say anything, Lin Yiwan threatened in a low voice, "Madam Qin, as a doctor, I know many ways to test for biological blood. Don't think that just because Qin Duanyan is dead, the secret will be hidden forever. As long as I want to know the answer, I will definitely find it out!"

Mrs. Qin pleaded quickly: "No, don't check, can't I just tell the truth?"

Lin Yiwan nodded calmly: "Then you speak, I am listening!"

Madam Qin said in a hoarse voice, "You guessed right, Duan Yan, she is indeed not my biological child. In fact, I had a miscarriage when I was three months pregnant, and my body is also very weak. I will never be able to get pregnant again!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at her: "So, just to keep your position as mistress, you want to get a child from someone else?"

Madam Qin nodded. "Well, the situation was critical at the time. The old patriarch wanted to pass on the throne, and my husband was the eldest son, so the child in my belly was very important. I had no choice but to find a pregnant woman who was about the same age as me and secretly raised her in another courtyard. When she gave birth, I would take the child for myself!"

Lin Yiwan just felt that Mrs. Qin in front of her was really shameless. She stole someone else's child and didn't raise it well. She had committed a serious sin.

She couldn't help but ask, "How is her biological mother now?"

Madam Qin said with a complicated expression, "What else could it be? She died naturally. She hemorrhaged heavily during childbirth and couldn't be saved!"

Lin Yiwan could also guess this result. As for whether it was really a difficult delivery or Mrs. Qin had done something, there was no way to find out.

She said in a deep voice: "I think you, a vicious woman, deserve this beating. You are so cruel, you will definitely not have a good ending!"

Madam Qin argued uneasily, "What could I have done wrong? It was the master of the family who forced me to do this. If he hadn't wanted an heir, why would I have taken such a risk?"

"Pa!" Lin Yiwan raised her hand and slapped her hard on the face.

She leaned close to Madam Qin's ear and said, "I rarely hit anyone myself, but seeing you, I really can't stand it. There's something I want to tell you. Qin Duanyan is not actually dead. I saved her and restored her to her female body. She changed her name to Xiao Shuyi and became the adopted daughter of Prince Li. She's already engaged to Luo Feng and will soon become the wife of the current Minister of War!"

Mrs. Qin widened her eyes in shock and her whole body trembled violently.

No wonder she felt that the adopted daughter of King Li looked familiar from the beginning, but she didn't expect that it was actually Qin Duanyan who she raised with her own hands.

But in the end, she couldn't get close to her anymore!
