The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

When they returned to the mansion, Yu Kangping and his daughter Liu Ying'er rode in a carriage.

Cui Ruixin and her nanny rode in a carriage.

Once inside the carriage, she could no longer hold back her tears and began to sob to the nanny:

"He actually treated me like this for a mistress. All my efforts over the years have been for nothing."

Mrs. Li sighed and offered words of comfort:

"Now that things have come to this, the Marquis will probably keep that shameless person here. Madam, you might as well take a step back and agree to this, giving the Marquis a way out. Once she becomes a concubine, she'll have to live at your mercy as the mistress of the house."

Cui Ruixin wiped away her tears.

She knew it was the best thing to do, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.

Neither the second nor the third wife took concubines. If the Marquis did take a concubine, wouldn't she, as the eldest sister-in-law, be inferior to others?

A silent silence spread through the carriage. Li didn't dare say anything more and could only let her calm down.

Not long after, the group returned to the Marquis's residence.

Shen Jinzhu's informant returned immediately to report the matter.

"The Marquis has returned to his residence with a woman and a child."

"The First Madam looked like she had been crying."

"The woman who was brought back had disheveled hair and a swollen face, as if she had been beaten."

Don't worry, don't worry, not only that woman got beaten, the Marquis didn't escape either.

[The woman deserved one slap, but the man deserved two.]

Yu Ningyao listened while mentally complaining.

Although she couldn't go to the scene, the system provided her with a live broadcast.

She knew far more than anyone else present.

"Understood, you did a good job, Jade." After hearing the report, Shen Jinzhu gave a wink to the maid beside her.

Jade understood and immediately grabbed a handful of copper coins for the informant who had come to tip him off.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Third Madam."

The visitor left happily.

After the man left, Emerald spoke with some concern: "Madam, if we keep giving them money like this, won't it embolden them and make them more ambitious?"

"It's alright. Anything that can be solved with money isn't a big deal. Besides, I won't always be the one running this household." Shen Jinzhu gave a meaningful smile.

This is the Marquis's residence; the steward, Granny Quan, will make her return it to her sister-in-law sooner or later.

She's just temporarily in charge now.

The eldest sister-in-law ordered people not to cooperate with her discipline and deliberately caused so much trouble to annoy her.

So she used money to pave the way and win over these people.

They will naturally remember her kindness.

After the power of housekeeping was returned to the eldest sister-in-law, these people's greed had already been nurtured.

Compared to the past, it will be difficult for the eldest sister-in-law to get them to work for her wholeheartedly again, just like before.

Not long after, someone came to the old lady's courtyard.

"Third Madam, the Old Madam requests your presence at Wanxiang Hall."

"I understand." Shen Jinzhu was prepared and gracefully got up to go over.

After all, if the eldest son's wife were to take a concubine, the household expenses would inevitably increase. Since she was now in charge of the household, this matter would certainly need to be discussed with her.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ningyao immediately scrambled up and hugged her leg, making it clear that she wanted to go too.

"Mommy~~~ Yaoyao wants to be with Mommy~~~"

Shen Jinzhu pointed her index finger and playfully tapped her forehead: "You. At such a young age, you love to join in the fun."

Despite her words, she still had her maid carry her.

As soon as I approached Wanxiang Hall, I heard sobbing coming from inside.

Cui Ruixin remained silent with a gloomy face. Liu Ying'er knelt on the ground holding the child. The Marquis sat to the side, and the old lady's face was pale with a bluish tinge.

The maids didn't dare to breathe loudly.

After Shen Jinzhu went in, she showed a surprised expression and asked knowingly, "I wonder why Mother summoned me here?"

"I don't have the face to say it, you can say it yourselves." The old lady was furious.

Her eldest son, whom she was so proud of, was keeping a mistress.

If this gets out, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

"Third sister-in-law, tell me, was it my fault that I didn't agree to let them, mother and daughter, into the house?" Cui Ruixin walked over, took Shen Jinzhu's hand, and began to complain.

She initially planned to follow the old woman's advice, to be more magnanimous, and to advance by retreating.

But upon returning to the manor, her mother-in-law saw the injury on the Marquis's face and, upon learning that it was her doing, scolded her without even asking what happened.

She couldn't bear such a great injustice, so she refused to let the mother and daughter enter the mansion no matter what.

“We have no shortage of children at home, we already have both a son and a daughter, why bring back that illegitimate daughter who is not presentable? Just give her some money and send her away far away. If she comes back and calls me mother every day, won't that just cause me distress? If that happens, I'm afraid I'll die of anger before Ziche gets married.”

Cui Ruixin became more and more heartbroken as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yu Kangping pointed at Yu Ningyao standing to the side and angrily said, "A non-biological daughter can be included in the family genealogy, but my own daughter can't? What kind of logic is that?"

Yu Ningyao: ? ? ?

She's been caught in the crossfire even though she's not doing anything wrong.

In truth, she is his real biological daughter.

Alas, a blind father, a heartless mother, and a pitiful girl who was switched at birth.

Fortunately, she was clever and did not acknowledge them as her parents. Instead, she chose her third uncle and aunt as her parents.

“Brother, Yaoyao is already in the family register; she’s my own daughter. There’s no need to belittle her like this because of a concubine’s daughter.” Shen Jinzhu’s expression showed a hint of displeasure.

Hearing this, Cui Ruixin, who had been disliking her for a while, immediately felt indignant.

“That’s right. Yaoyao is registered under my third brother’s wife’s name, and she will have to call her mother in the future. But this girl only has a lowly concubine’s daughter as her mother. How can she be compared to Yaoyao? Your Excellency is really confused!”

“I don’t mean to belittle Yaoyao. What I mean is that Zhuzhu should also be included in the family genealogy. When she grows up, she will be of help to the family. Many children bring many blessings, don’t you think, Mother?” Yu Kangping looked at his mother.

As long as Mother agrees, everything will be easy.

The old lady took a deep breath and looked at the chaotic scene, feeling extremely annoyed.

She forbade her son from taking a concubine because she feared that if he did, jealousy and rivalry would cause unrest in the household.

If the household is not at peace, the family business will not prosper.

But ironically, her beloved eldest son did something so foolish.

As his mother, all she could do was clean up his messes.

She ordered her maid to take the child away, and then said in a deep voice, "Leave the child here. This shameless woman is not allowed to enter the Marquis's mansion."

Children are one's own bloodline, so naturally one would not let them wander outside.

"Mother!" Cui Ruixin was about to say something when she was pulled back by the nanny.

“It’s already very good, Madam,” the nanny reminded her in a low voice.

A child without a mother is bound to die sooner or later if raised carelessly.

Cui Ruixin also realized this, and that's why she reluctantly shut her mouth.

Liu Ying'er seduced the Marquis only to enter his mansion, and now that they were about to send her away, she panicked and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Madam, I am also a girl from a good family. If I had a choice, I would not want to be a concubine. The Marquis has been kind to me, and I love him so much that I would rather be a nameless and unmarried concubine."

As she spoke, she started crying again.

Upon hearing her say this, Yu Kangping immediately recalled the scene of their first encounter.

The beautiful Liu Ying'er and her maid traveled alone to the capital to find their relatives. They were harassed by local ruffians, but he happened to be passing by and came to their rescue.

Liu Ying'er was determined to give him a gift to repay his kindness.

Over time, the two became acquainted, and their feelings for each other deepened. As they continued to repay the debt of gratitude, they ended up embracing each other.

"My lord, we are not destined to be husband and wife in this life. Let's meet again in the next life." Liu Ying'er said, and then rammed her head against a pillar.

"Ying'er, you can't die! What will happen to Zhuzhu if you die?" Yu Kangping immediately rushed over and grabbed her.

When Cui Ruixin saw this, she was so angry that she felt like she was about to burst into flames.

"If you want to die, then die. Guards, beat her to death!" she commanded without thinking.

"Let's see who dares!" a furious shout came from behind.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the old lady quickly stood up, looking surprised, and said, "Duke of England, what brings you here?"

"If I hadn't come, my daughter would have been beaten to death by you," said Duke Zhao Zhengyue of Yingguo, his face full of anger.

One sentence left everyone present dumbfounded.
