Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 31

But that old vile woman, Wen, has arrived with the Shen family's guards. In this situation, it's no longer possible to silence them quietly.

Grandma Qin stammered, "I...I don't know where Aunt Li got these twins from, but she's definitely making baseless accusations to smear Shaoze and Manman..."

Just then, the boy in the twins suddenly spoke.

“My sister and I weren’t found by Li Ma from outside. We grew up on the estate since we were little. The old lady has come to see us several times, and the Marquis has also come to see us.”

"..."

Old Mrs. Qin almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

No wonder they were born of that slut; they're all the same, they deserve to die!

She had previously thought that since they were, after all, children of the Qin family and Qin Shaoze's own flesh and blood, they should eventually be brought back to the Marquis's mansion. She was never quite at ease leaving them to be raised in the countryside, so she would visit them occasionally.

She should have thrown those twins as far away as possible and let them fend for themselves!

Madam Wen's expression turned solemn: "Since that's the case, it's not difficult to verify whether this matter is true or false. We'll send people to bring everyone from that village here now, question them one by one, and then we'll know what really happened with these two children!"

Old Mrs. Qin's back was soaked with cold sweat.

There are dozens of people in the village. Although they don't know the origin of the twins, they all know that Li Ma came with a pair of babies three years ago, and many people have seen Old Madam Qin and Qin Shaoze come to the village.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for her to collude with dozens of people to give the same story!

At this moment, Qin Shaoze walked in.

He took a deep breath, his face resolute and stern, and faced the crowd, saying in a deep voice:

"Everyone, there's no need to argue anymore. It's true that Manman and I met more than three years ago, and it's also true that Lingjun and Manman's children were switched."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Old Mrs. Qin's face changed drastically: "Shaoze, you..."

How could he just admit it like that!

Qin Shaoze gave Old Madam Qin a look and shook his head.

He has already grasped the current situation. It's impossible for them to deny it outright or try to cover it up.

Li Ma made a scene in public, revealing the secret. It all happened so suddenly that they were caught off guard and couldn't cover it up at all.

Rather than making things more awkward and embarrassing, it's better to admit it openly and honestly.

Qin Shaoze sighed, a deep sense of helplessness on his face.

"The reason we did this is because Lingjun's eldest son was born with a heart condition, and I'm afraid... he won't live long enough to be the heir apparent and inherit the title, which would be detrimental to the development of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Manman's child, Xuanrui, is perfectly healthy. Therefore, after careful consideration, and for the sake of the bigger picture, we made this decision..."

Even though Madam Wen already knew the truth, she was still furious at Qin Shaoze's shamelessness.

Enraged, she laughed: "You are truly cunning! For the sake of the greater good, you can treat my daughter like trash! Lingjun is the mistress of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, and it is only right that her eldest son inherits the title. What right do you have to switch them? You separated her from her own flesh and blood, kept her in the dark, and raised your illegitimate child for three years. You are the most shameless family in the entire capital!"
