Liang Qiuli looked calmly at Liu Shi, who was walking hurriedly with an angry expression.

"Madam, what is this?"

"You still dare to ask me anything? Do you know what your good brother Liang Wende has done? If you still want to stay in the Marquis's mansion, then hurry up and make him release Wu Xuan."

Although Liu Shi treated Liang Qiuli well because of the Princess, she still looked down on Liang Qiuli, who came from a humble background.

So when he talks, he's very bossy.

Liang Qiuli, however, remained calm and composed.

"Madam, the country has its laws. The Emperor will decide how to deal with the Marquis who has made a mistake."

"you……"

When Liu saw Liang Qiuli using the emperor's laws to suppress her, her face turned pale with anger.

She can't possibly be unable to control Liang Qiuli, who comes from a humble background.

"It seems I've been too good to you. Don't forget your parents' indenture is still in my hands! If you don't know what's good for you, I won't mind..."

"Madam, have you forgotten? The Marquis took away the indenture of Mr. and Mrs. Liang long ago."

At this moment, Granny Qi suddenly stood up and interrupted Liu.

"what?"

Liu realized this only later, and it seemed there was such a thing.

"Madam, don't waste your energy. I won't help you."

Liang Qiuli felt extremely pleased as she watched Liu's face turn from red to green and freeze in place.

She went through so much trouble to get him in there, how could she possibly help Fei Wuxuan get out?

Moreover, it would be best if scum like Fei Wuxuan suffered endless torment in prison and eventually died there!

Liu's face turned pale and then red. Was she about to give in to Liang Qiuli at this moment?

"She's unwilling to help, but I am!"

Suddenly a weak voice came from outside. Liu turned her head and saw Xu Yuerao walking in, her face pale, being helped in.

"How did you come?"

Liu frowned and looked at Xu Yuerao with displeasure.

Xu Yuerao was indeed pregnant with that bastard's child. Due to falling into the water and being extremely frightened, although the baby in her womb was still there, her body was severely damaged. It was likely that she lost the pregnancy and would not be able to have any more children in the future.

Therefore, since Xu Yuerao had not yet taken the initiative to have an abortion, Liu Shi naturally could not give Xu Yuerao a kind look.

If it weren't for the fact that misfortunes never come singly, she would have made Fei Wuxuan divorce her long ago!

"If you want to save your son, old woman, be a little more polite to me."

Xu Yuerao still holds the biggest secret she has ever had since her rebirth. She originally intended to use it to win over the princess after she became familiar with her.

But now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

Liu had finally managed to calm down, but Xu Yuerao angered her so much that her face turned ashen.

She couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking how good her son Fei Wuxuan was, bringing her such a wife and concubine.

Everyone wanted to ride on her head.

But the most important thing now is to rescue his son, so he has to suppress his anger.

"Tell me quickly, what's your plan?"

Xu Yuerao didn't speak, but looked at Liang Qiuli, even though she couldn't touch Liang Qiuli right now.

But Liang Qiuli must not know about this.

The group naturally understood Xu Yuerao's meaning.

"Fine, go ahead if you dare. But don't get yourself into trouble, especially you."

Liang Qiuli looked at Xu Yuerao with a cold gaze.

She had long seen through Xu Yuerao's little scheme. Although Xu Yuerao was a reborn person, there were only a few important things she could control.

Xu Yuerao can only try her luck with these things now in order to get the attention of those above her, or even the emperor.

But Liang Qiuli had already taken precautions. Now that Xu Yuerao had said those things, it would only plunge her into an abyss of no return.

"Liang Qiuli, what are you so smug about? Just wait and see, whoever laughs last will be the winner!"

Xu Yuerao stormed out of Liang Qiuli's courtyard, but Liang Qiuli merely curled her lips coldly, showing no concern whatsoever.

Liu glared at Liang Qiuli, then left with Xu Yuerao, grumbling and cursing.

Liang Qiuli didn't go to see the two of them, but went back to her room to be with her son. She needed to raise her son well, so he wouldn't end up like his useless father.

As for the others, let them be; they can't cause any trouble.

……

"Tell me quickly, what should we do?"

Liu was truly anxious, especially when she thought about how Wu Xuan was being tortured in prison, which made her feel uneasy.

And Liang Qiuli's completely different, aloof demeanor only fueled her resentment.

"Promise me a few things first."

Xu Yuerao wasn't stupid; she knew she couldn't easily reveal this matter. She needed to do everything she could to protect her own interests.

She admitted that she was indeed inferior to Liang Qiuli. Liang Qiuli had firmly grasped the connections with the Princess, and although Liu was now in charge of the Marquis's mansion, she still dared not lay a hand on Liang Qiuli.

"Tell me, I'll agree to any condition as long as it can save Wu Xuan!"

Liu felt that Xu Yuerao wouldn't be able to come up with any demands, so she readily agreed.

"I want two-thirds of the Marquis's estate, including shops and various villas, and all the property deeds and land deeds."

"And I need to explain my affair to the public. I also need to acknowledge this child, Fei Wuxuan, when he returns!"

Upon hearing this, Liu was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Based on her previous understanding of Xu Yuerao, she thought Xu would only mention asking for some money or one or two shops.

Unexpectedly, she made an outrageous demand this time, wanting two-thirds of the Marquis's estate. She really dares to dream big.

Most importantly, they want Fei Wuxuan to acknowledge this bastard child? How is that possible!

Seeing Liu's pale face and hesitant expression, Xu Yuerao continued.

"Do you want Fei Wuxuan to die so that Liang Qiuli can have the Marquis's mansion all to herself?"

"I only let him come back to acknowledge the child. We can have another child together later, and you can raise it then, how about that?"

Xu Yuerao knew that she could not have any more children after giving birth to this one, but she still continued to deceive Liu Shi.

"Okay, I agree, but I can only give you half of the land deeds for those shops and villas, and the rest will be left to your and Wu Xuan's future children."

If Liu wanted to give up her son and let Liang Qiuli's son inherit the Marquis's mansion, and then she had to apologize to Liang Qiuli, how would that work?

Judging from Liang Qiuli's appearance today, I'm afraid I'm going to have a very tough time.

Let her son come back. At least with her son around, she won't suffer so much.

"Granny Qi, go and fetch the land deed and house deed."

Having made the decision, Liu quickly sent Granny Qi to fetch the land deed and house deed.

"Madam, everything is here."

Both Liu Shi and Xu Yuerao were astonished when they saw the few pieces of paper in Qi Mama's hand.

"How can there be so little? Old woman, who are you trying to fool!"

Xu Yuerao looked at the few sheets of paper in Qi Mama's hand, her pale face flushed with anger.
