Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Qi in shock when he said this.
Cheng Qi glanced at Nanny Qin who was kneeling on the ground and slapping him, "Nanny Qin, please get up. I believe this is a misunderstanding."
Cheng Hui: "!"
"Brother? Have you ever...?"
"Don't mention this anymore." Cheng Qi directly refuted Cheng Hui's other words. He looked at Qin Shaojing, "Shaojing was wronged in her husband's family. We just took her in for a few days. Why do you bully her like this!"
Cheng Hui didn't know what to say at this time. She clenched her fists and said, "Brother, I bullied her? Well, why don't you ask? The capital is so big, and Madam Xue is her aunt. Why did she live here with you instead of Ningyang Marquis's Mansion?"
Qin Shaojing raised his eyes softly at this time, "My aunt is seriously ill, I want to go see her in some time."
"Have you acted enough! You clearly asked Madam Xue to kick her out!"
"Cheng Hui!" Cheng Qi said angrily.
"Brother, you don't know," Cheng Hui took a deep breath. She knew very well that she must not act on impulse at this moment. She had to tell Cheng Qi the true face of Qin Shaojing and the dirty things she had done!
"Qin Shaojing poisoned my sister-in-law and the prince brother before, and asked Madam Xue to drive them out. If you don't believe me, ask my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is right here."
Cheng Hui pulled Lu Lingjun forward.
She believed that her brother might not believe her, but he would definitely believe Lu Lingjun's words.
"That's enough." Cheng Qi glanced at Lu Lingyun, then at Cheng Hui, "Shao Jing lives here, no one can drive her away."
"Brother! You..." Cheng Hui was really anxious and rushed forward to pull Cheng Qi.
"Huihui, forget it." Lu Lingjun spoke up at this time, and she held Cheng Hui's hand, "Don't say it, it's useless."
After hearing the three words "useless", Cheng Hui immediately lost her temper.
She looked angrily at her brother who had a cold face and refused to compromise, and Qin Shaojing who lowered his head but his eyes were full of surprise and pride.
Cheng Hui turned around and walked out.
As she walked on the road, she wiped away her tears in confusion.
She couldn't understand it and couldn't figure it out.
Why is her brother like this?
The evidence and facts were clearly laid out before him.
He himself said that he had diarrhea all day, but he believed the old villain's lies!
Obviously Qin Shaojing was extremely vicious and had poisoned Lu Lingjun, Cheng Yunshuo and Si Ying, but her brother didn't listen to a word she said.
After she walked out of the general's mansion in one breath, she shouted, "Sister-in-law!"
Cheng Hui threw herself into Lu Lingyun's arms, "Why doesn't he believe it! Why doesn't he believe it! How did that woman deceive him? The evidence is right in front of him, but he still doesn't believe it!"
Lu Lingjun listened to her words, "Your brother is not stupid, how could he be deceived."
Cheng Hui raised her head.
Lu Lingjun touched her head. "It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he doesn't want to believe it. So what if Qin Shaojing drugged him? As long as he is willing, it's fine."
Cheng Hui listened to this in shock.
She couldn't help but think of the day when she talked about the pharmacy in the west of the city with Cheng Qi and Lu Lingjun. As they were talking, Cheng Qi ran out of things to say.
Yes, people like her brother are not stupid!
He must have discovered early on that Qin Shaojing had drugged him.
But after that day, he still went to the appointment once or twice, and today he even brought her directly to their general's mansion.
He is willing!
If you are willing, you will follow me and do the shameless thing!
"Shao Jing, don't listen to Hui Hui's nonsense. I believe you."
After Cheng Hui and Lu Lingjun left, Cheng Qi looked at Qin Shaojing and comforted her.
Qin Shaojing lowered his head, turned around and sobbed, "Brother Cheng Qi, it's all my fault. I made you quarrel with Sister Huihui. I'd better leave."
"Shao Jing!" Cheng Qi grabbed Qin Shao Jing who was about to leave, "Don't go."
"But Huihui is your sister after all. Even if I live with you, she won't want to come back."
"Don't worry about her! She's grown up, not a child. She won't get lost. Besides, she can go to her sister-in-law! But you." Cheng Qi looked at Qin Shaojing, "Duke Liu's mansion bullied you like that, where else can you go?"
Qin Shaojing looked at him with affectionate eyes, "Brother Cheng Qi, if I hadn't been bullied by that bastard Liu Ye back then, how great it would have been! I could have married you, I would have married you, how great it would have been now."
"Shao Jing..."
Cheng Hui followed Lu Lingjun back to the Marquis' Mansion.
After Lu Lingjun said that to her, she remained silent, and no longer felt resentful or angry.
The most frustrating thing is to discover that no matter how much you explain or prove, it is all useless in the end.
Others don't care at all!
She stayed awake all night.
On the second day, Lu Lingjun saw that she looked very depressed, so he called the Tong sisters and the Liu sisters to the Marquis's mansion for a small gathering.
Several people looked at the unhappy Cheng Hui and asked.
"Huihui, what's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, didn't your brother just come back not long ago? Why is he so unhappy?"
When Cheng Hui heard them mention her brother, she immediately became even angrier, "Don't mention him!"
"What's wrong? What's happening?" Tong Nanyuan asked.
"My brother is a fool, there's something wrong with his brain!" Cheng Hui said angrily.
Tong Nanyuan chuckled at this time, "I think so too."
Tong Nanyuan had been taught a lesson by Cheng Qi for no apparent reason before.
When she heard Cheng Hui say this, she immediately agreed.
"Third sister." At this time, Tong Nanxia spoke softly, "General Cheng is a hero. You can't say that about him."
"What kind of hero is this? He's just a bear!" Cheng Hui said angrily, "What a stupid bear with no brains and no vision!"
Just then, a voice came from the back garden, "Hui Hui."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cheng Qi coming.
Everyone stood up and greeted him.
"General Cheng is here."
Cheng Qi simply responded, and strode towards Cheng Hui, "Hui Hui, are you still angry?"
"Why did you come to see me? It would be better if you could just spend time with Madam Qin and be affectionate with her!"
Cheng Qi looked a little embarrassed, "How can you say that? Shao Jing and I are innocent, and you are tarnishing her reputation like this."
"Come on! If you like her, just admit it. You're just as shameless as her if you do less!"
Cheng Qi felt extremely embarrassed for a moment when he heard his sister's scolding.
Especially, there are so many people present.
At this time, Tong Nanxia said, "Let's go to the yard and ask General Cheng to talk to Huihui in private."
She gave Cheng Qi a way out, and Cheng Qi looked up at her with gratitude.
Tong Nanxia smiled faintly, lowered her head and took the others to visit the garden, leaving the pavilion to Cheng Hui.
"Nanxia, does General Cheng really still have feelings for Qin? Is he still thinking about her?"
As the women walked, they peeked at the quarreling people in the shadows of the trees and discussed in whispers.
"I think so. Didn't they almost get married back then?"
"General Cheng is really blind!" said Tong Nanyuan.
"I guess he doesn't know what Qin is doing now! He just thinks she is still the pure and innocent young lady before she got married!"
"Come on, she was not a simple person before she got married. Don't you remember the anti-aging elixir she invented that year? She tricked so many young ladies in the capital into asking for the elixir that she made, and she made them all have rotten faces and lost their looks!"
The girls all frowned, "That Qin is really not an ordinary person. No wonder she caused such a quarrel between General Cheng and Huihui siblings."
"Should we try to help Huihui?"
Tong Nanxia listened to what they said and looked towards the pavilion where Cheng Qi's figure became increasingly gloomy.
Just then, a fierce quarrel was heard in the pavilion.
"Brother, what on earth did that lewd woman Qin Shaojing feed you? Did you really have an affair with her and do something shameful and dirty?"
"Cheng Hui, if you say anything bad about Shao Jing again, I'm really going to beat you up!"
"Hit me! Hit me like you did last time!"
Cheng Hui raised her face and looked at Cheng Qi with red eyes.
"Hui Hui!"
At this time, Tong Nanxia and others all rushed over.
"General Cheng, what are you doing?"
"Huihui is still young. As her brother, why do you always beat her?"
Several people protected Cheng Hui and looked at Cheng Qi with caution.
When Cheng Qi saw them coming again, the anger on his face subsided and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Cheng Hui looked at them and grabbed Liu Qingshuang's arm. "Sister Qingshuang, tell my brother if Qin Shaojing is a whore or not!"
"Cheng Hui!" Cheng Qi's eyes were burning with fire.
Liu Qingshuang stepped forward and said, "General Cheng, you should open your eyes and take a closer look."
"My eldest sister-in-law also married into Duke Liu's mansion. She told me a lot about the second branch of the Duke Liu's mansion. The second branch of the Qin family is really not clean..."
"Enough!" Cheng Qi interrupted her angrily.
Liu Qingshuang didn't dare to speak. Tong Nanyuan was getting more and more angry. "General Cheng, your eyes are really behind your head! You were half deaf and half blind a few years ago, and now you are even more blind! If you don't listen to what so many of us say, then the Qin family has a work style problem. Why would we lie to you when so many of us know it?"
Cheng Qi looked at Tong Nanyuan, whom he had met several times, and snorted coldly, "Oh, when I saw you back then, you bullied your sister. Now when I see you, you lead a group of people to criticize Shao Jing behind his back! I don't know if Shao Jing has any problems, but your character is the problem!"
Tong Nanyuan: "…"
She knew that she and Cheng Qi, that brainless jerk, were born to be incompatible.
"General Cheng," Liu Qingping said at this time, "if you don't believe what we say, you can go to Duke Liu's mansion to find out what kind of person Qin is and what kind of life she leads in the mansion."
"I will go to Duke Liu's mansion to seek justice for Shao Jing! But you guys, you usually get together like sisters, but Shao Jing was wronged in her husband's family, but no one helped her! Now you are spreading rumors everywhere!"
Liu Qingping: "..."
"General Cheng." Tong Nanxia stood up at this time.
Before she could say anything, Cheng Qi interrupted her, "Don't say anything. I know you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted. You believe whatever others say and you have no ability to distinguish."
Tong Nanxia: "…"
Cheng Hui couldn't help it at this time. She stood up and shouted, "Cheng Qi! You can faint if you want, but I can't accept her. You make your choice, either me or her, or she or me!"
After she said this, the pavilion became quiet. Cheng Qi looked at Cheng Hui and the group of women around her. He said nothing and turned away.
As soon as he turned and left, Cheng Hui burst into tears.
"Huihui, don't cry."
"Huihui, your brother...let's try to persuade him again."
"Your brother is damned, so annoying! Just let such a stupid person be stupid, and let him be deceived to death by Qin Shaojing!"
"Nan Yuan, please stop talking."
"I can't possibly say less! I'm so pissed off, I really want to crack his brain open and see what kind of shit is inside!"
While Tong Nanyuan was cursing, Tong Nanxia looked at Cheng Qi's back and fell into thought.
Today, Cheng Qi came to the Marquis' Mansion, and the matter of the pavilion reached Lu Lingyun's ears.
After hearing this, Lu Lingjun just thought about it.
What is the purpose of Cheng Qi's visit?
She called Cheng Hui, who was crying with red eyes.
"Huihui, why did your brother come to see you?"
When Cheng Hui heard about her blind and deaf brother, tears welled up in her eyes again, "Don't care about him, don't care about him! Just treat him as dead!"
Lu Lingjun smiled helplessly, "Good Huihui, don't be angry first, tell me, what did your brother come to see you for?"
"He wants me to go back and live there! He said that Qin Shaojing living alone would not cause gossip! He asked me to at least stay there until Qin Shaojing divorced!"
"Qin Shaojing wants to divorce?!" Lu Lingjun raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Hui nodded, "I see that he is so confused. Once Qin Shaojing gets divorced, he will marry her!"
The more Cheng Hui talked, the angrier she became. Her foolish brother had done this when Qin Shaojing was still a married woman. When she really divorced, he would definitely marry her in a grand sedan chair.
Not to mention that she had divorced him only once, even if she had divorced him eight or ten times, if she turned around and made a promise, he would have to agree!
"Why is my brother so stupid! What on earth does he see in Qin Shaojing?"
Cheng Hui said this while crying, but what Lu Lingjun was thinking at this time was.
What did Qin Shaojing see in Cheng Qi?
Indeed, she knew that Qin Shaojing was not living well in Duke Liu's mansion, and Cheng Qi's triumphant return after gaining fame would make her feel uneasy.
But based on her understanding of Qin Shaojing, this was definitely not the real reason why she regretted choosing Cheng Qi.
People like her want immense wealth and unrivaled dignity.
Even if Duke Liu's Mansion was in decline and she never became the Duke's wife, Cheng Qi could never compare to the wealth and glory of the Mansion.
Cheng Qi was only awarded the rank of a third-rank general of the Zhenjun Army. Apart from the hundred boxes of gold, silver and jewelry he was rewarded with, he had no fiefdom and no wealth.
He had no land, no farm, no shops, and even no connections.
How could such a family support her rich and prosperous life for many years?
No matter how difficult life was in the Duke's Mansion, she would not give up all the wealth for Cheng Qi.
What did it mean that Qin Shaojing chose Cheng Qi and divorced for him?
While Lu Lingjun was thinking about this, he heard the servant report.
"Young Madam, Madam is awake!"
When Lu Lingjun heard that Qin had woken up, he was startled for a moment, then stood up immediately, "I'll go right away!"
In Ningxin Courtyard.
Lu Lingjun and the children stood in front of Qin's bed.
Qin woke up slowly and looked at everyone in front of her blankly.
"Who are...you?"
"Grandma, I'm Bing'an!" Cheng Bing'an stepped forward and said obediently.
Qin looked at him blankly, "Who is Bing'an?"
"Grandma, why don't you recognize my eldest brother? He is your eldest grandson." Cheng Binghao stepped forward, "I am Binghao, your second grandson, this is Siying, your granddaughter, and there are Lanying and Bingzhi, we are all your grandchildren!"
Cheng Binghao quickly pulled a few children to tell her their names.
After listening to this, Qin was still confused, "I, why don't I remember it."
"Mother." Lu Lingjun stepped forward, "Do you still remember me? I am Lingjun."
"Lingyun..." Qin shook her head blankly. She recognized someone at this moment, "Madam Wen!"
"Madam!" When Nanny Wen heard that Qin still remembered her, she rushed to Qin with tears in her eyes.
"Why do you call me Madam? Just call me Miss." Qin said.
Nanny Wen was startled at this moment, "Madam, you..."
"Where is this place and who are they?" Qin looked at the large group of people in front of her blankly.
When Nanny Wen saw her like this, her old eyes were already filled with tears, "This is the young lady, your daughter-in-law, and these are your grandchildren!"
"How come I have a daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters?" Qin muttered these names, looking at the people in front of her one by one, "Why don't I remember that I have a husband and son? Who are they?"
Her words silenced everyone on the field.
Lu Lingjun stepped forward and squatted in front of Qin. "Mother, this is the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion. Do you remember the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion?"
Qin was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she suddenly said, "I am the old lady here?"
"Yes." Lu Lingjun responded.
Qin smiled at this time, "Okay, okay."
She looked at the children in front of her, smiled and waved them over, "Come here, let grandma take a good look at you."
Cheng Bing'an glanced at Lu Lingyun, who nodded at him, and the children rushed to Qin.
Qin touched Cheng Bing'an's head and looked at him carefully. As she was touching him, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Bing'an!"
"Yes, grandma, I am Bing'an. You remember me!" Cheng Bing'an said in surprise.
"Of course grandma remembers you. I gave you this name because I want you to be safe and sound." Qin said slowly.
Seeing that her memory had come back, Cheng Binghao and Cheng Suying stepped forward together, "Grandma, do you remember Suying and me?"
"You two are... Binghao and Suying!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Nanny Wen was pleasantly surprised. "Madam, you remembered it. You remembered everything! And Miss Lanying and Master Bingzhi."
Cheng Lanying and Cheng Bingzhi, who were named, stood aside and looked at Qin carefully.
Qin looked at the two of them and shook her head, "I don't remember them."
Cheng Lanying: "…"
Cheng Bingzhi: "…"
Seeing that they were forgotten, Nanny Wen said nothing more and looked at Lu Lingjun, "Madam, Young Madam, have you remembered?"
Qin raised her head and looked at Lu Lingjun for a long time. Her eyes were cloudy, not as clear and bright as before. "I can't remember."
She kept muttering to herself.
"My daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law...but who is my son? How come I can't even remember my son?"
When Lu Lingjun saw this, she knew that Qin was only thinking about Nanny Wen and her three grandsons.
I don't remember any more.
Lu Lingjun stepped forward and said, "Mother, it's okay if you can't remember. The prince is away on a long journey, and I'm praying for the marquis."
What she said was half true and half false. After all, Cheng Yunshuo, no, Master Wuxin really went out to pray for blessings.
After hearing this, Qin smiled and said, "That boy is filial!"
Her words once again silenced everyone in the room.
No one knew how to answer.
Fortunately, Qin was tired at this time. She yawned loudly and closed her eyes tiredly.
Lu Lingjun asked everyone to go down first so that the old lady could have a good rest.
After Qin lay down to rest, Nanny Wen came forward and said, "Young Madam, Madam has forgotten many people..."
"It's okay. The imperial physician said that this is normal. You should take good care of Madam, and she will remember it after a long time." Lu Lingjun sighed.
Maybe it's a good thing that Qin suddenly forgot the most important person.
She asked the children to stay in Qin's courtyard and spend more time with her, and she went back to continue dealing with the chores of the Marquis' Mansion.
In the past few days, she has been taking over the original network of contacts in the Marquis' Mansion.
For some important matters, she had to go in person and meet the lady of the family.
On the second day, she left the chores in the mansion to Qiu Ling and Ling Long, and took a carriage to the house where she had previously sent a visiting invitation.
Cheng Hui also went with her, just to relax.
It would also save her brother from coming to the Marquis' Mansion to look for her and make her unhappy.
When Lu Lingjun brought Cheng Hui back.
Cheng Hui said, "Sister-in-law, you have a great reputation. When you go out, everyone agrees with you."
Lu Lingjun smiled.
She had been building up her reputation for many years, and this is when she put it to use.
A good reputation can help her achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Now that she is the one supporting the Marquis's Mansion, the importance of this reputation is even more evident.
Of course, in addition to her personal reputation, the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion also has glory and foundation.
The old marquis was enshrined in the Taimiao, and Qin was given the title of Lady of Xue. These were all to tell outsiders that the Ningyang Marquisate had not collapsed.
If Lu Lingjun had some good reputation, then the network of contacts he had previously established with the Marquis' Mansion would be able to be quickly handed over.
This is the key to everyone's recognition of her.
Lu Lingjun was smiling like this when she met Cheng Qi head-on.
When she saw him, Cheng Hui's smiling face immediately drooped.
"Sister-in-law, let's go and ignore him." Cheng Hui pulled Lu Lingjun directly to Cheng Qi, not giving him any face.
Cheng Qi's face looked a little strange at this time. He looked at the two of them, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He watched Lu Lingjun and Cheng Hui pass by him without opening his mouth.
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind Cheng Qi.
"Brother Cheng Qi, you haven't told your sister-in-law yet!"
The moment Qin Shaojing's voice sounded behind Lu Lingjun, Cheng Hui and she turned their heads at the same time.
The two saw Qin Shaojing, dressed in bright clothes, walking up to Cheng Qi with a cheerful look on his face, "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
"Why are you here?" Lu Lingjun looked at her.
Qin Shaojing was driven out of the Marquis' Mansion by Qin last time. Logically, she shouldn't come again.
Qin Shaojing didn't answer her, but just pushed Cheng Qi, "Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng Qi has something to discuss with you!"
"What's the matter?" Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Qi.
Cheng Qi turned his head away at this time, as if he couldn't speak at all.
Qin Shaojing didn't get angry when she saw him like this. She looked at Lu Lingjun steadily, pouting her red lips.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng Qi sees that you are working very hard, and he wants to help you take care of the Ningyang Marquis Mansion in the future."
"What did you say?"
Before Lu Lingjun could speak, Cheng Hui couldn't wait to speak angrily.
Qin Shaojing glanced at her and said with a smile, "Huihui, isn't it good for your brother to take care of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"The Marquis' Mansion is under the care of my sister-in-law, what does it have to do with my brother?"
Even Cheng Hui knew the difference between insiders and outsiders. They were just relatives of the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, thousands of miles away from the direct line, so they had no right to manage them.
Qin Shaojing smiled even more happily. She turned to look at Lu Lingyun, "Sister-in-law, my cousin has become a monk now, and Bing'an and the others are still young. How can a woman like you support such a large mansion? After all, Brother Cheng Qi also has the blood of the Cheng family in his body. He naturally has the responsibility to take care of everyone. In the future, he will help you manage the mansion and never let outsiders bully our mansion. We are all one family, how wonderful!"
After listening to Qin Shaojing's words about how to make the whole family rich, Lu Lingjun understood everything.
Qin Shaojing, her target was not Cheng Qi at all, but Ningyang Marquis Mansion!
She said that Cheng Qi was a poor boy with no family background, and how could she be interested in him just because he had made some military achievements and received some rewards.
It turns out that what she was plotting was the Marquisate of Ningyang!
The wealth and heritage of Ningyang Marquis' Mansion can barely support her status!
Cheng Hui frowned anxiously as she listened to Qin Shaojing's long string of words, but she didn't know how to argue with her. Before she could say anything, she heard Lu Lingjun speak.
Lu Lingjun didn't look at Qin Shaojing, but looked directly at Cheng Qi, "Second Uncle, is this your idea or Qin Shaojing's idea?"
Lu Lingjun asked pointedly.
When Cheng Qi heard her question, he turned his head away and did not answer.
Seeing this, Cheng Hui was so angry that she started to curse, "Cheng Qi! Not only did you let that woman bewilder you, but you were also instigated by her to bully your sister-in-law! Have you forgotten how your sister-in-law treated us? When you and I first arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, it was your sister-in-law who warmly welcomed us and provided us with food and shelter. When everyone bought new clothes, your sister-in-law also remembered to save fabric for us to make clothes. During the years you were away, your sister-in-law took care of me for you."
"She always remembers us brothers and sisters when she has good things. She has treated us like family over the years. Are you doing this to your sister-in-law?"
The more Cheng Qi listened to Cheng Hui's questions, the more ashamed he felt. His face was full of guilt and he couldn't bear to look directly at her.
At this time, Qin Shaojing spoke up, "Huihui, look at what you said, your brother is helping your sister-in-law! Ningyang Marquis's Mansion is so big, there are so many people watching outside, how can it work without a man to support the facade! Bing'an and Binghao are so young now, it will take ten or eight years for them to grow up, by then the mansion may be taken over by others!"
"I didn't see others taking over the mansion, but I saw you using my brother to take over first!" Cheng Hui pointed at her nose and scolded, "I can see that you want to divorce Duke Liu's mansion now. You must be waiting for my brother to take over the mansion, then marry him and become the new master of the mansion!"
Even she could now see Qin Shaojing's fox tail that could not be hidden.
She seduced her brother little by little, and now she is instigating her brother to seize the Marquis' Mansion. It is obvious that she wants to be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion!
When the time comes, drive her and her sister-in-law away, and she will be able to get whatever she wants here.
Qin Shaojing has such vicious thoughts in mind!
Qin Shaojing was not annoyed when her thoughts were exposed. She just looked at Cheng Hui and said, "Cheng Hui, Brother Cheng Qi is your real brother. You should clearly distinguish between relatives and strangers. It is you who got the advantage when your brother gained power. Don't act stupid here."
"I won't be stupid. I have a conscience and I can see clearly. My sister-in-law treats me like her own sister. She works hard to run the entire mansion. Cheng Qi, now that my sister-in-law is in the most difficult time, you don't help her, and you let this bitch instigate to rob her mansion. Do you still have a conscience?"
Cheng Hui questioned her brother harshly.
"That's enough!"
Cheng Qi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. He raised his head, his eyes full of guilt, and he didn't dare to look directly at Lu Lingjun and said, "Sister-in-law."
"Second Uncle, you say."
"What Shao Jing said makes sense. Bing'an is still young. If he inherits, he can only get the position of Crown Prince. He can only ask for a title when he comes of age. There are many uncertainties in the future. Who knows whether His Majesty will let him inherit? After all, Shao Jing's father...was not granted the title of Duke until his death."
Lu Lingjun laughed when he heard this, "So the Second Master is here to inherit the title of Ningyang Marquis for our Bing'an?"
"Sister-in-law." Cheng Qi looked at her, met her sneer and mocking eyes, and immediately lowered his head, "I will not covet the title of Marquis of Ningyang. When Bing'an grows up, I will ask His Majesty for the title and return the title to you. You, believe me."
Hearing this, Lu Lingjun couldn't stop laughing.
These abacus beads are really falling on people's faces.
Even if she believed that Cheng Qi really thought so, did Qin Shaojing think so?
Let Cheng Qi be the Marquis of Ningyang for ten years first, and then return the title to him when Bing'an comes of age?
How is that possible!
Qin Shaojing was clearly using this set of high-sounding rhetoric to first stabilize Cheng Qi, and then embezzle Ningyang Marquis Mansion bit by bit!
She has to take the position of marquis first. There is no reason for her to spit out what she has eaten!
"Second Master, if you really care about us, then give up your kindness," Lu Lingyun looked at him coldly, "I am here at the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, there is no need for you to take over."
"Sister-in-law," Cheng Qi called again, but when he met Lu Lingjun's cold and calm gaze, he couldn't utter a word.
"Second Master, please go back! Someone, show the guest away!"
Lu Lingjun said this, turned around and walked back.
At this time, another voice came from behind her, "We are not guests of Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, we are the masters here, who dares to ask us to leave?"
Lu Lingjun turned around and saw Qin Shaojing standing beside Cheng Qi with a smug look on her face. She looked at Lu Lingjun and smiled widely, "Sister-in-law, our aunt asked us not to leave and to stay with her every day."
"Oh, it's getting late. It's time for dinner. Let's go and have dinner with my aunt."
As Qin Shaojing said this, he pulled Cheng Qi towards Ningxin Courtyard. But Cheng Qi was too embarrassed to stay for dinner, so he left first in shame, leaving Qin Shaojing alone.
When Lu Lingjun saw this, he asked, "What's going on?"
Nanny An, who stayed in the Marquis's Mansion, stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, Madam has remembered Qin Shaojing and forgotten what she did before! She was kept in the mansion by Madam and lives with her!"
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Today, Mr. Cheng brought people to visit the Madam. We didn't dare to stop him and just followed them. Who would have thought that the Madam could still remember Qin Shaojing after forgetting so many people? She called him Shaojing all the time, and she was much closer to him than the young master or the young lady!"
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he quickly walked towards Ningxin Courtyard.
In Ningxin Courtyard.
As soon as Lu Lingjun arrived here, he heard laughter and joyful chatter inside.
"Shao Jing, eat more. I remember you like mutton."
"Thank you, auntie. Shao Jing knows that no matter who you forget, you will never forget me."
At this time, Lu Lingjun pushed the door open and saw several people eating at a table, with several children also there.
They saw Lu Lingjun, "Mom."
"Mom, you're here."
When Qin heard the children's voices, she looked up and looked at Lu Lingjun with her cloudy eyes in a strange way.
"Mother." Lu Lingjun walked up to her.
Seeing her coming, Qin smiled at her and said, "Let me introduce you to my niece, Shao Jing!"
"Aunt, how could I not remember my sister-in-law!" Qin Shaojing said coquettishly, "right, my good sister-in-law."
Lu Lingjun ignored her and still looked at Qin, who was even happier at this time.
"It's good that you two know each other. Shao Jing is my sweetheart! Shao Jing, eat more and tell me about your parents and your grandparents later."
"Okay, I'll stay with my aunt tonight."
"Yes, yes." Qin nodded repeatedly, not paying any attention to anyone else as she served Qin Shaojing more dishes.
Even the three children of Bing'an that she remembered were all ignored.
Seeing this, Lu Lingjun frowned and retreated without saying a word. When she left, she met the eyes of Qin Shaojing, who was loved by Qin's beloved baby. Qin Shaojing gave her a provocative look.
It was as if to say that God was also helping her.
Yes, God is helping her too.
What does it matter that she is bewitched by a mere Cheng Qi?
The Qin family is the most important!
Cheng Qi was fascinated by her and wanted to snatch the position in the Marquis' Mansion. Apart from the surname Cheng and a little bit of blood, what capital did he have!
But Qin, what she holds in her hands is the capital of Ningyang Marquis Mansion!
And Cheng Qi and Qin are a god-given combination!
Once Qin bewitched her, she would submit a petition to His Majesty to adopt Cheng Qi into the ancestral temple, and Cheng Qi would be able to inherit the title of marquis as a matter of course!
"Young Madam, our old lady is really bewitched by Qin Shaojing. Now she only recognizes her. If she persuades the old lady to let Mr. Cheng inherit, I think the old lady will agree!"
"What can we do? Master Cheng has inherited the title of Marquis. Will he really return it when our young master gets old?"
"What the hell! Didn't you see how proud Miss Qin was just now? She might remarry Master Cheng. If she gives him a few more children, how could she return the title of Marquis to our young master? In our countryside, this is called eating up the whole family. I've seen it a lot!"
"How can that be possible! They are so shameless!"
"What shall we do now?"
The maids and nannies around Lu Lingjun said one after another.
"Enough!" At this time, Cheng Hui spoke.
She looked at Lu Lingjun with a sullen expression, "Sister-in-law, I will go to my brother again. This is a matter that is wrong between us siblings. I will definitely persuade him and will never let him rob your mansion!"
After saying that, Cheng Hui turned around and walked out.
The General's Mansion.
When Cheng Hui returned to her brother's house, her brother was having dinner.
When Cheng Qi saw Cheng Hui coming back, he subconsciously felt guilty and turned his head away.
"Brother!" Cheng Hui rushed to him in one step, "Are you going to keep making mistakes like this?"
"Hui Hui."
"If you still listen to Qin Shaojing, don't call my name!" Cheng Hui said angrily.
Cheng Qi didn't say anything at this time.
Seeing his silence, Cheng Hui was so angry that her temples were throbbing with pain. "Brother, are you really going to rob my sister-in-law's mansion? Tell me!"
"Huihui." Cheng Qi finally spoke, "I really don't want the title of Marquis."
"Then why are you hanging out with Qin Shaojing? And you're even talking about helping your sister-in-law take care of the Marquis's Mansion!"
Cheng Qi sighed, "Shao Jing is right. Your sister-in-law is just a woman. There is no adult man in the mansion. How can she support this family?"
Cheng Hui had no place to complain, "My sister-in-law is good at managing the household, can't you see it?"
"Sister-in-law is indeed good at managing the harem, but it is not easy for her to support the entire mansion. There are tigers and wolves all around the mansion, and the court is full of intrigues. Men are needed to support it. How can such a large mansion work without men?"
Cheng Hui: "…"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll assume you're right, but Ningyang Marquis's Mansion still has Bing'an! He's a man, so he can ask for a title! My sister-in-law has him, so even if times get tough, it's still like having a man in the family! I need you to come!"
Cheng Qi shook his head. "Bing'an is young, so he can only inherit the title of the Crown Prince. Shaojing is worried that something unexpected will happen in the future, and His Majesty will not continue the title of Ningyang Marquis. Her family's Qin Guogong Mansion is an example. Now her brother is still the Crown Prince, and he may not be able to inherit the title in his lifetime."
"That's because her family has offended the majesty of heaven! They have violated the emperor's grace! They deserve it!"
"Huihui!" Cheng Qi was angry, "Why are you always so malicious towards Shao Jing?"
"Brother, am I malicious towards her, or have you made her lose her mind? Do you dare to say that what you said was not instigated by her?"
"How can she instigate? She is doing this for everyone's good!" Cheng Qi said confidently, "Why do you all always misunderstand Shao Jing and misinterpret Shao Jing! She just wants her sister-in-law to relax a little, and wants Ningyang Marquis's Mansion to be stable and prosperous, without outsiders worrying about it!"
"It's not outsiders who are worried about it, it's all her!"
"Cheng Hui! Shao Jing is sincere, how can you understand that?"
Cheng Hui laughed in anger, "Then tell me, what you just said was for my sister-in-law or for her!"
When Cheng Qi heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
Yes.
Qin Shaojing told him all this on the premise that she would marry him as long as he inherited the title of marquis.
Then there was what Qin Shaojing told him, that if he inherited the title of Ningyang Marquis, it would be good for everyone.
He could help Lu Lingyun manage the household, so she wouldn't have to be a woman and show up in public and struggle to support the entire mansion.
He can also help the children in the Marquis's Mansion and let them grow up safely.
Most importantly, Qin Shaojing said that as long as he could inherit the title, she would marry him again.
He had no intention of snatching the title of Ningyang Marquis. At most, he would return it to Bing'an when he grew up...
His coming to inherit the title is a matter of only benefits and no disadvantages.
He felt that Qin Shaojing was right.
He believed it and used it to convince everyone.
But why couldn't he open his mouth now?
"What do you think, brother? You can't say it anymore!" Cheng Hui looked at him and sneered, "You are an ungrateful person!"
Cheng Qi remained silent, his eyes filled with shame and speechlessness of being exposed.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Hui was completely disappointed by his silence.
"You will regret it! You will definitely regret it! That woman is not worth it at all!"
After saying that, Cheng Hui fled from the general's mansion.
Cheng Hui ran back to the marquis's mansion from the general's mansion.
She cried and told Lu Lingjun that she would never recognize Cheng Qi as her brother again.
After hearing this, Lu Lingjun simply comforted her and told her to go back and rest.
"Sister-in-law, will you blame me?"
"Why should I blame you?" Lu Lingjun smiled faintly.
"My brother did such a thing..."
"You are you, he is him, and besides, he can't do it."
When Cheng Hui heard this, she raised her head.
"You should go back and have some rest. My territory cannot be arranged by others for me." Lu Lingjun stood up, his face as calm as ever, giving people an incomparable sense of security.
When Cheng Hui saw Lu Lingjun like this, she immediately felt relieved.
She couldn't help but think that since Qin Shaojing instigated her brother to seize the title of marquis, Lu Lingjun had never been anxious or annoyed.
Her sister-in-law must have a way!
Lu Lingjun was indeed not panicked.
Qin Shaojing got a deck of God-given cards, but she also had a God-given trump card!
She is reborn!
She knew about the dirty things going on in Duke Liu's mansion, and she knew many of Qin Shaojing's secrets that he had kept secret and that no one else should know.
She hadn't originally intended to make these things public.
But Qin Shaojing's calculations were all attributed to her, so don't blame her for being rude!
She was going to give Qin Shaojing a good beating.
If someone wants to rob her mansion, she'll see if she has the ability to do so!
She sent Cheng Hui away, called Shuanghong, and whispered something in her ear.
The next day.
As usual, Qin Shaojing stayed with Qin in her courtyard.
"Aunt, do you remember Cheng Qi who came yesterday?"
"Remember, I think that young general is pretty good."
"Of course he is good, brave, resourceful and wise, and he is the only capable man in our Ningyang Marquis Mansion now." Qin Shaojing squatted down beside Qin, "Aunt, Shaojing wants to propose to you that Cheng Qi inherit the title of our Ningyang Marquis Mansion."
"He will inherit?" Qin's eyes were cloudy.
"Yes, there is no adult man in the Marquis' Mansion now. How can this work? Cheng Qi was highly regarded by my uncle in the past. Now it is most appropriate for him to inherit the Marquisate."
Qin listened to such a long list and finally said, "Shao Jing, if you say it's okay, then it's okay..."
"Mother."
Just then, Lu Lingjun walked into the yard and interrupted their conversation.
Qin Shaojing couldn't help but frown when she saw Lu Lingjun interrupting them at the critical moment, but she was not anxious at this time. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is here."
"You're here." Qin looked at Lu Lingjun with lifeless eyes.
"Mother, I have invited Doctor Zhang to take another look at your illness today."
As soon as Lu Lingjun finished speaking, the imperial physician who had treated Qin last time came in from behind.
When Qin Shaojing saw the imperial physician coming, he couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in his hand.
At this time, Qin grabbed Qin Shaojing's hand. She looked at the stranger and said in panic, "Shaojing, who are they? I'm scared."
Qin Shaojing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt very confident. She glanced at Lu Lingjun and said, "Sister-in-law, did you hear what aunt said? You scared aunt by calling a stranger here. You should send them away quickly."
Lu Lingjun listened to her words with a calm look in his eyes, "Shao Jing, the doctor I invited for my mother is an imperial physician. He came here to diagnose my mother, not to scare her. Don't you want my mother to get better?"
Lu Lingjun blocked Qin Shaojing's words with just a few words.
She wanted to use Qin's as an excuse to send the imperial physician back, but Lu Lingjun directly said that she didn't want to say hello to Qin!
Sure enough, when she said that, Qin Shaojing's face stiffened slightly. She turned her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? My aunt treats me like her own daughter, so why shouldn't I ask her to be well? I asked you to ask Doctor Zhang to go back first because I was thinking about her. My aunt has only woken up for a few days, and it's time for her to adapt. She is panicking when she sees strangers. Asking the doctor to come will only make her panic worse. I didn't say not to ask the doctor to see her. It's better to ask the doctor to see my aunt after some time when she is more stable."
Qin Shaojing's rebuttal was that she was not hoping that she would get better, but was worried that rushing into things would make her condition worse, and she was sincere to Qin. Secondly, she said that Lu Lingjun's eagerness to invite the imperial physician was a hidden intention to harm her.
Lu Lingjun listened to her eloquent words and sneered, "Shao Jing, I am very touched that you care about your mother so much, but you are not a doctor, how can you make a diagnosis yourself? Will it be bad for your mother to be stimulated by strangers?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? It's not like you didn't see it yourself. It was my aunt who said she was afraid."
"Okay, I've invited Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Let's ask Doctor Zhang here. Doesn't he know more than you and me?" Lu Lingjun turned and looked at Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Cheng is right. Mrs. Xue is unconscious due to the stimulation. At this time, some small stimulation occasionally will be good for her recovery."
When Qin Shaojing heard this, his face turned as pale as pig liver and he held back all the words.
Seeing her like this, Lu Lingjun smiled and urged, "Shao Jing, please step aside and ask Doctor Zhang to give mother a follow-up examination."
Qin Shaojing stood up very reluctantly, and there was nothing else to say to him at this moment.
After all, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau had spoken, and if she continued to stop him from seeing the patient, her behavior would be very suspicious.
"Aunt, you should take good care of the patient first." Qin Shaojing said to Qin.
Qin grabbed her hand, still looking a little panicked.
Seeing this, Qin Shaojing tried to comfort her with a few more words, and after asking Qin to loosen her hand little by little, she stood beside Lu Lingjun and gave her a provocative look.
That look seemed to be saying, see, now her aunt only trusts her.
Indeed, Qin now only relies on Qin Shaojing. She believes whatever Qin Shaojing says.
Just now she had instigated Qin to let Cheng Qi inherit the title, and Qin had readily agreed.
Although Lu Lingjun interrupted it.
But how could Lu Lingjun stare at her all day long!
So her coming here was just a useless way to delay time.
As long as Qin listens to her, she can let Cheng Qi inherit the title!
No one can stop it!
When Lu Lingjun met Qin Shaojing's provocative eyes, she just smiled faintly, turned to Qin Shaojing and said, "Shaojing, I forgot to tell you that someone from Duke Liu's mansion is here to take you back."
Lu Lingjun's words immediately changed the expression of Qin Shaojing, who was confident of victory.
"Shao Jing, you've been out for quite some time, it's time to go back." Lu Lingjun smiled.
The first step is to ask the imperial physician to come.
The second step is to get Qin Shaojing out.
Qin Shaojing rushed directly to Qin, ignoring Doctor Zhang who was still seeing the patient, and said hastily, "Aunt, I won't go back!"
Qin, whose old eyes were cloudy, heard this and said, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Shao Jing, you stay with your aunt."
"Mother." Lu Lingjun said calmly, "Shao Jing is already married. How can a married woman live outside forever?"
Lu Lingjun's words made the confused Qin Shi clearer. She nodded and said, "Yes, married women live outside."
Qin Shaojing heard this and said, "Aunt, I want to divorce Liu Ye! I will never go back!"
Without waiting for Qin to speak, Lu Lingjun said, "Shao Jing, how can you speak so casually about such a serious matter as divorce?"
"I just want to divorce him!" Qin Shaojing glared at Lu Lingyun and looked at Qin for help, "Aunt, Liu Ye is having affairs everywhere, I must divorce him!"
"Shao Jing," Lu Lingjun spoke again, "your brother-in-law is the son of the Duke's Mansion. Although his philandering is detrimental to his personal morality and is despised by others, in this world, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. How can you divorce him because of something like this?"
"Aunt, you don't know that Liu Ye even brought the prostitute to my room to have fun! This is really too much!" Qin Shaojing held Qin's hand tightly.
After hearing this, Qin frowned, "Liu Ye is really going too far! We Shao Jing can't stand this!"
Qin Shaojing's eyes lit up, "Aunt, I want to divorce him."
"But you can't divorce me." Qin interrupted her and said, "Liu Ye is just a bastard who likes flowers, but he didn't do anything too inappropriate. Shao Jing, you can't divorce him."
Although Qin was confused, he still remembered the mark of the times.
She earnestly counseled Qin Shaojing, "We women have a hard life. Once we get married, we have no choice. We need to be more patient and tolerant. It's not something that will cause death. How can we women ask for a divorce? But he bullied you. I can't forgive him. Ask Liu Ye to come to the house to pick you up. I want to scold him!"
Qin Shaojing: "..."
What's the use of scolding him!
Bah, bah, bah, how dare she invite him to the Marquis' Mansion!
What if that bastard Liu Ye tells the truth directly!
At this moment, Lu Lingjun smiled calmly, "Mother, I have invited Mr. Liu Er to come over."
Qin Shaojing: "!"
She was really panicked at this time.
Liu Ye is here!
"That bastard is here? Good thing he's here. Let him in. I'm going to scold him in front of Shao Jing and let Shao Jing vent his anger!" Qin said repeatedly after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll invite him in." Lu Lingjun looked at Qin Shaojing with a smile.
Qin Shaojing stood up suddenly at this time, "Aunt, my stomach hurts so much, I have to go to the toilet first."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
When Lu Lingjun saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Oh, you can't stand this?
The ultimate move is yet to come!
At this time, Doctor Zhang finished his examination and said, "Madam Xue is just like what I diagnosed before. She was in a state of temporary mental insomnia due to great sadness. However, looking at her current spirit, she should slowly remember people in the future. Madam, you must insist on giving Madam Xue medicine."
Lu Lingjun listened to what Doctor Zhang said and nodded at him.
She asked someone to give him the medical fee and personally escorted him out of the house.
And at this time, Liu Ye really came.
After he entered the yard, he was scolded by Qin. Liu Ye wanted to fight back, but the one scolding him was no longer the wife of the Ningyang Marquis, but the newly conferred Lady of Xue State by His Majesty.
In terms of rank, she was a state lady with the same status as his grandmother.
If it were in the past, he would just turn around and leave. He would have refused Qin's request to seek justice at Duke Liu's mansion. But now, after being scolded by her, he could stand his ground no matter where he went.
Liu Ye just endured it.
But at the same time, he also blamed Qin Shaojing for all the scolding.
But even until Qin got tired of scolding and felt sleepy, Qin Shaojing still didn't come out.
"If you dare to bully my Shao Jing again, don't blame me for coming to your house in person to argue with your grandparents!" Qin gave a final warning before she fell asleep.
"I understand." Liu Ye said perfunctorily.
Seeing that he was still pretending to be a grandson, Qin was satisfied, "Madam Wen, let's go back."
"yes."
Nanny Wen helped Qin into the house. After they left, Liu Ye immediately said anxiously.
"Where's Qin Shaojing?"
"Shao Jing said he went to the toilet, but he hasn't come back yet. I'll send someone to look for him." Lu Lingjun said.
"Hurry up." Liu Ye was extremely impatient.
After a while, Shuanghong came over and said, "Madam, something terrible has happened. Miss Shao Jing is gone!"
"Where did you go?"
"Let's go to the Zhenjun General's Mansion!"
Qin Shaojing slipped away while he was using the toilet.
She is not stupid, so how could she stay here and let Liu Ye catch her?
When Liu Ye heard this, he was furious. "I knew that Qin Shaojing, this slut, must still have feelings for her former lover. She has the nerve to accuse me of being a philanderer. She is the most slutty and despicable one! I will teach her a lesson!"
Having said that, Liu Ye walked out angrily.
When Lu Lingjun saw his back, she slowly smiled knowingly.
Now this Marquisate is her world, and Qin Shaojing was able to sneak away at her instruction.
She just hoped that Qin Shaojing would not slip away!
Once this step is taken, the show will officially begin!
The General's Mansion.
Qin Shaojing hid inside.
Not long after she hid in there, Liu Ye came to her house to scold her.
Qin Shaojing didn't allow anyone to let him in at first. When Liu Ye saw that he was still being stopped, all his humiliation and anger erupted.
He was cuckolded by Qin Shaojing at home.
When he went out to the marquis's mansion, he was scolded by that damn old woman again.
When she came here, she asked her lover outside to stop her.
This is simply... It's not even as bad as shitting on your own head, this is shitting and then asking him for paper!
This is too much!
Liu Ye had already disregarded his own face and started cursing outside the General's Mansion, calling Qin Shaojing a slut.
He cursed Cheng Qi in the story as an adulterer who seduced his wife.
Call them an adulterous couple, in cahoots with each other!
Qin Shaojing, who was hiding in the house, was extremely anxious when she saw Liu Ye scolding her. Finally, she gritted her teeth and invited him in, telling him to shut up!
It became even more lively when he came in.
Originally, Cheng Qi asked Qin Shaojing to stay in the study and not tell him what was happening outside, so Liu Ye was going to look for Cheng Qi as soon as he came in.
When Cheng Qi heard that Liu Ye was coming, he scolded Qin Shaojing.
This is totally against the will of Heaven!
He has always been looking for him to settle the score!
As soon as the two met, they started to curse at each other.
One called the other an adulterer who openly seduced someone else's wife and committed a heinous crime; the other called the other a despicable villain who promised to take care of Qin Shaojing for the rest of his life but never did.
They started fighting as they kept cursing at each other.
But there was no way Liu Ye could beat Cheng Qi.
I was no match for him a few years ago, and now he is beating me by the neck.
All the servants, maids and grooms he brought with him were beaten black and blue.
Liu Ye was hit by several heavy punches, and Cheng Qi spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Second Master!"
"Second Master!"
"Great! Not only did you seduce our young mistress, you also beat our second master to death!"
Dead?
If Liu Ye, who had fainted, heard his servants cursing him like that, he would have to stand up and beat them up anyway.
But now they are letting them shout whether he is dead or alive, and they all want Cheng Qi to pay with his life!
Cheng Qi was also confused. He looked at his fist. Did he really kill someone?
The scene froze. Qin Shaojing, who was hiding in the house, had to show up when she saw how things had turned out.
She gritted her teeth and came out of the house.
"Liu Ye!"
She rushed to Liu Ye and hurriedly felt his breath. Feeling that there was still breath, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you yelling about! The Second Master is still alive! Send him back to the mansion right now!"
Qin Shaojing spoke, and the crowd began to get busy, quickly carrying the unconscious Liu Ye back to Duke Liu's mansion.
And Qin Shaojing also followed them.
"Shao Jing, don't go." Cheng Qi stopped him.
Qin Shaojing gave him a complicated look, "Brother Cheng Qi, I have to leave now, otherwise you will be finished if Duke Liu punishes you."
"I'm not afraid!" Cheng Qi looked like a hero, "I'm not afraid even if they want to kill me or cut me up."
When Qin Shaojing heard this, he really wanted to roll his eyes at this idiot.
He is not afraid of being killed or cut, but what about her? !
If she doesn't go back with them today, she will be known as a whore!
Originally, she had already prepared to divorce Liu Ye. She had the leverage over Duke Liu's Mansion. As long as she was determined to divorce, Duke Liu's Mansion would not dare to let her go.
But she was not in a hurry this time. She wanted to wait and trick Qin into asking for the title of marquis for Cheng Qi, and then divorce him and remarry him after he inherited the title.
After all, if Cheng Qi didn't have the title of marquis, why would she marry this pauper!
She couldn't survive in Duke Liu's mansion, but living with a pauper would be even more unbearable!
For this reason, she even thought that if she couldn't fool Qin, then she would just give up and not look for Cheng Qi. She would just grit her teeth and continue to live in Duke Liu's mansion.
But she never thought that Liu Ye would come to her house early.
And it made things worse!
Now she was blocked by Liu Ye in Cheng Qi's house and was knocked unconscious by Cheng Qi.
If she doesn't go back with them, she and Cheng Qi will be charged with adultery!
Qin Shaojing looked at Cheng Qi deeply, "Brother Cheng Qi, you are a good person. I caused all the trouble. I will solve it myself. Shaojing will never let you down."
Cheng Qi was very moved when he heard this. "How can that be? Shao Jing, I'll be the one to go. We are both innocent, clean, and upright. The Duke Liu's Mansion can't accuse us. As for Liu Ye, I beat him up, and I'll go and apologize myself. I can't let you bear the blame!"
"Brother Cheng Qi, you should stay at the mansion!" Qin Shaojing pushed him away, rolling his eyes in his heart, "Gossip can melt gold, and repeated criticism can destroy a person. If you go there, it will only give those people more room for gossip! I will solve it myself, no big deal, no big deal."
She gave Cheng Qi another look that showed she was determined to entrust her life to him. "When I am kicked out of Duke Liu's mansion, Brother Cheng Qi, you must abandon me!"
Cheng Qi felt her gaze, and his heart was as firm as a rock, "Shao Jing, how can I not want you!"
Qin Shaojing's mind was full of calculations. She looked at Cheng Qi and said, "Then you should stay in the general's mansion. No matter what happens in the next two days, don't go out. As long as Brother Cheng Qi doesn't let me down, Shaojing will definitely not let you down!"
"Okay." Cheng Qi clenched his fists.
After Qin Shaojing finished speaking, he turned around and took people to carry Liu Ye back quickly.
Cheng Qi looked at her figure, and his heart ached as if it was pierced by a thousand needles.
Ah, his time!
His Shao Qing thought so much about him, and for him she took on all the tasks alone. She had to bear the responsibility by herself. In this life, he would never let her down!
at this time.
Ningyang Marquis Mansion.
Lu Lingjun listened to the servants talking about the affairs of the General Zhenjun Mansion, and Lu Lingjun slowly smiled.
Although she did not expect Cheng Qi to be able to knock someone unconscious, it was almost the same. The final result would definitely be that Qin Shaojing would follow him back to Duke Liu's mansion.
Because things have come to this point, Qin Shaojing must stand up and make a choice.
She knew Qin Shaojing too well, and knew her from the root.
She knew that Qin Shaojing's hooking up with Cheng Qi was not a desperate move, but a two-timing move!
While she was occupying the position in Duke Liu's mansion, she was also paving a new path for herself. If Cheng Qi lived up to her expectations, she would divorce him without hesitation and choose him.
But if Cheng Qi has no future, she will still kick him out and go back to Duke Liu's Mansion.
It wouldn't hurt her at all if the two of them were to be a little flirtatious.
You can even always leave yourself a way out so that you can retreat and choose Cheng Qi at any time.
This time, she completely cut off Qin Shaojing's path.
She can only choose one between Duke Liu's Mansion and Cheng Qi.
If she chooses Duke Liu's Mansion, then she will never be able to interfere with her Ningyang Marquis Mansion in the future, and she will completely give up the idea of scheming for the title!
And if she chose Cheng Qi, her reputation would be completely ruined.
It was impossible for her to divorce cleanly and remarry Cheng Qi smoothly as she had planned before.
She might be completely branded as a whore and divorced by her husband's family. If Cheng Qi marries her, his reputation will be completely ruined.
He still wants to inherit the title, but there is no way!
Lu Lingjun listened to all this quietly, and said to the people below, "Give Qingshuang the first post tomorrow and ask her to come over."
"yes."
Let things ferment a little more.
This way, Duke Liu's mansion.
Qin Shaojing took his men back to Duke Liu's mansion.
When the people in Duke Liu's mansion saw their master being beaten, the second house started to make a fuss that day.
The next day, Liu Qingshuang arrived at Lu Lingjun's mansion with a beaming face.
Also coming with them were the Tong sisters and her sister.
Everyone gathered together again to eat Qin Shaojing's gossip.
"Big news, big news! Something big happened to Qin Shaojing's second wife!"
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Hui was also among them, and she asked quickly.
"Qin Shaojing brought Liu Er home yesterday with a bloody face. When Liu Er's mother saw him, she flew into a rage. After asking about what happened, she learned that your brother had beaten him up outside. She was so angry that they wanted to bring people to your brother to settle the score!"
After hearing this, Cheng Hui frowned, "Humph! I knew that Qin Shaojing was a disaster. How could anything good come of him hanging out with her? Now that he has caused such a big disaster, what can I do!"
"Huihui, don't be anxious." Liu Qingshuang said, "Look, it's already the second day, and Duke Liu's mansion hasn't gone to look for your brother, right?"
Hearing this, Cheng Hui's anxious worry turned into confusion, "Yes, why?"
Logically speaking, Cheng Qi had caused such a big disaster, seducing someone else's wife and beating their master, there was no way that Duke Liu's Mansion would let him go!
"I heard from my eldest sister-in-law that the wife of the second room was furious. She ordered Qin Shaojing to kneel in the ancestral hall and asked someone to get a pig cage to immerse Qin Shaojing!"
"hiss-"
"ah-"
Everyone gasped.
They had only heard about the pig cage immersion thing, but had never actually seen it around them!
Besides, Qin Shaojing is the eldest daughter of Duke Qin's mansion after all, and her aunt has just been conferred the title of Lady Xue. The Liu family cannot touch her easily.
The fact that the pig cage was taken out showed that a huge scandal had occurred and the Liu family was completely enraged.
"Is it really soaked?" Cheng Hui asked.
"No!" Liu Qingshuang said, "The master of the second house came back. I don't know what he said, but he released Qin Shaojing anyway."
"No way! Qin Shaojing caused such a big incident, and the second master can let her go!"
"Yes, she asked Liu Er to personally block General Cheng's mansion. Most people in the capital know that they are having an affair!"
"General Cheng even beat someone up. Can you let Qin Shaojing go for something like that?"
"It's impossible to let her go. The Liu family wants to divorce her!"
When everyone heard that Qin Shaojing was going to be divorced, they all frowned.
She originally wanted to divorce, but now divorce is impossible and she can only be divorced!
"Do you really want to divorce her?"
"Is it as simple as just divorcing her?"
Liu Qingshuang saw them and said, "Don't tell me, there are more surprising things to come!"
"Just tell me now."
"Sister Qingshuang, what are you hiding?"
Liu Qingshuang looked at Lu Lingjun, "You don't know that Qin Shaojing caused such a big incident that the Liu family wanted to divorce her, and the divorce letter even stated that she had no children, one of the seven reasons for divorce!"
"What!" All the women were shocked.
This time, they were really shocked.
Qin Shaojing caused such a huge scandal, but in the end she was just divorced lightly.
And the reason for the divorce was simply... childless!
Even the "promiscuity" among the seven reasons for divorce was not written for her!
this...
"Why?"
"How would I know that?" Liu Qingshuang said, "I heard it from my eldest sister-in-law. It should be that Duke Liu's mansion wants to save face."
Everyone analyzed it with half belief and half doubt.
"It's also possible. Qin Shaojing's aunt was given the title of Lady Xue, so the Liu family might have done that for her."
Lu Lingjun smiled slightly when she heard their analysis.
Where are these.
Qin Shaojing holds the biggest scandal in Duke Liu's mansion!
Just by listening, she could imagine that Qin Shaojing must have used the affair with her father-in-law as his last trump card and support to ask the Liu family to release her.
The face that the Liu family wants is their own!
However, this also made Lu Lingjun see Qin Shaojing's choice.
It seems that she really doesn't want to live in Duke Liu's mansion, so she chose Cheng Qi.
Come to think of it, in her current situation, even if she had a trump card and could choose to stay in Duke Liu's mansion, she would not be able to live like this in the future.
In addition, if what she had done was exposed, her mother-in-law might torture her in some sinister way, and she would never have an easy life.
Moreover, this matter also angered her father-in-law. The trump card can only be used once. After it is used, it will never be used again. If she is bullied again in the future, her father-in-law will no longer protect her.
By this calculation, it would be better for Duke Liu's mansion to live a life of wealth and luxury by choosing Cheng Qibo.
But this is also a complete opposition to Lu Lingjun.
I must be her enemy completely.
Lu Lingjun's eyelashes fluttered, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. At this time, Cheng Hui stood up and said.
"It's over, it's over. If she gets divorced, she will definitely go find my brother!"
Cheng Hui reacted quickly.
Before the divorce, she dared to seduce her brother and live in her brother's house. Now that they are divorced, isn't that heaven's befalling her!
She will definitely cling to her brother tightly!
Everyone looked at Cheng Hui.
Tong Nanyuan said, "Huihui, why do you care? Just let your brainless brother live with Qin Shaojing. I wonder what they can do!"
"I think so too. If we really live together, your brother might see through her fake mask."
"It would be great if he could regret it!"
Everyone said.
That's true, but he is my own brother after all!
How could Cheng Hui just watch him walk towards the abyss step by step!
"No, I still have to make it clear to him. He must not really marry her!" Cheng Hui said, and ran out.
"Huihui." Tong Nanxia called out to Cheng Hui at this time, as if she wanted to tell her something.
Unfortunately, Cheng Hui had already run far away.
Seeing Cheng Hui like this, everyone stopped trying to persuade her.
Brothers and sisters, whose blood is thicker than water, are naturally different from these spectators.
Everyone even had a glimmer of hope in their eyes that Cheng Huineng could persuade Cheng Qi to stop and not fall into the deep pit again.
Everyone sighed to each other and then dispersed.
When Tong Nanxia was about to leave, Lu Lingjun stopped her.
"Nanxia."
"cousin."
Tong Nanxia stopped and turned to look at Lu Lingjun.
Lu Lingjun saw her frowning brows and asked, "You are worried about Cheng Qi, right?"
"No." Tong Nanxia hurriedly defended, "I think General Cheng is a good person. I'm afraid he'll be cheated. I don't have any other thoughts."
Seeing this, Lu Lingjun smiled faintly, "Nanxia has always been kind."
When Tong Nanxia heard this, her eyes dropped slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
In her memory, she will always remember the young man who picked up a handkerchief for her in the garden and advised her not to cry.
"Nanxia, you are kind-hearted, and no one wants to see Cheng Qi jump into the fire pit, so I would like to ask you to help me check something."
"What's the matter?" Tong Nanxia raised her head.
Lu Lingjun looked at her and said, "Go back and find out as much as possible how Qin Shaojing was given the aphrodisiac on your wedding day."
at this time.
The General's Mansion.
Cheng Hui ran back anxiously.
"elder brother!"
She met Cheng Qi in the corridor.
"Huihui, you're back." When Cheng Qi saw Cheng Hui coming back, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Brother, do you know that Qin Shaojing was divorced?" This was the first thing Cheng Hui asked when she saw him.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi's face suddenly fell and he said nothing.
"Brother, I want to tell you that Qin Shaojing has been divorced and will definitely come back to find you. She will definitely use all kinds of sweet words to deceive you, saying how she is and how the Liu family is, just to make you take her in and marry her!"
Cheng Qi frowned.
Cheng Hui continued, "Brother! Qin Shaojing is really not a good person, let alone a simple one. She made such a big mistake, but she was still able to ask the Duke of Liu to divorce her for having no children. She must have used a lot of tricks. You are simple-minded and can't beat her at all!"
Just then, a clear voice sounded behind Cheng Hui.
"Sister Huihui, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs like this."
Cheng Hui turned around and saw Qin Shaojing, who was wearing a relatively low-key outfit, not so elegant and luxurious with jewels.
Qin Shaojing left Duke Liu's mansion, but correspondingly, she also completely lost the wealth and glory of the mansion.
All the jewelry, head ornaments, clothes and shoes in the Duke's Mansion could not be taken away.
She was only asked to carry away her dowry.
But a lot of the dowry has been squandered over the years, and what's left are mostly old items at the bottom of the box.
Even the always glamorous Qin Shaojing has now fallen into a different level.
All those colorful head ornaments, jewelry, and hairpins were taken off, making the person look plain.
But no matter how vegetarian she is, she is not a pushover. When Cheng Hui saw Qin Shaojing appeared at her brother's house, her eyes widened.
"You are so shameless! You came after all!"
"Sister Huihui," Qin Shaojing smiled, "What do you mean by that? How am I shameless?"
"You just got divorced and you're already pestering my brother. This is shameless! What is this?"
"Sister Huihui, you also said that I was divorced. Now I am alone and your brother is unmarried. How can we be shameless?"
Cheng Hui's eyes turned red, "There are so many men out there, can't you just let my brother go?"
"Hui Hui!" Cheng Qi shouted harshly.
Cheng Hui didn't care what he said, and she tore at Qin Shaojing fiercely, "Qin Shaojing, you slut, if you still have a bit of decency, you should find a nunnery and become a nun! In the future, you can pray to the Buddha, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures to atone for your sins, otherwise the gods will not be able to bear it, and sooner or later you will be struck by lightning!"
"Cheng Hui!"
"Qin Shaojing, did you hear me? I don't allow you to bother my brother! If you bother him again, I will fight you!" Cheng Hui said, waving her hand to hit Qin Shaojing.
Cheng Qi grabbed her shoulders and pushed her aside, then positioned himself in front of Qin Shaojing, protecting her tightly.
"Brother!" Cheng Hui shouted.
"Cheng Hui, if you still recognize me as your brother, you should be more polite to Shao Jing in the future," Cheng Qi changed his tone to a cold one, "I won't allow you to treat her like this again!"
Seeing that her brother was still protecting her, Cheng Hui said, "Brother, you really don't know what Qin Shaojing has done. Do you think she only hooked up with you? When she was in Duke Liu's mansion, she was caught in bed by Liu Ye!"
She revealed all the negative information about Qin Shaojing. The scene was silent. Cheng Qi frowned and said, "Huihui, I won't allow you to frame me again..."
"Qin Shaojing!" Cheng Hui stared at Qin Shaojing. "We already know what you did. You committed adultery in your house before, and your ex-husband caught you red-handed. If you don't dare to admit it, we will go to Duke Liu's house to confront Liu Ye!"
When Qin Shaojing heard Cheng Hui's question, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It's ridiculous to really think you know her details!
Still looking for Liu Ye to confront?
How could he dare to say anything about that coward Liu Ye!
You know, she was divorced and abandoned for having no children. The Liu family was afraid that she would tell the truth!
The entire Liu Guogong Mansion is suppressing her matter, who dares to speak out?
I thought she had some hidden card and was screaming here.
"Okay, go find me." Qin Shaojing was fearless and became more calm. "I am not afraid of any shadow if I am upright. If you can find someone in the Liu family who says that I have done something shameful, I will jump into the lake to prove my innocence!"
Her fearless confidence only surprised Cheng Hui.
Jump into the lake?
Does she still dare to jump into the lake to prove her innocence?
At this time, Cheng Qi said with a dark face, "Huihui, Shao Jing has said so, what else do you want to do!"
"Brother, believe me. Sister Qingshuang told me this. Her eldest sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife in Duke Liu's mansion. She heard all this in the mansion."
"You always listen to those women's gossip and believe in such stupid rumors!" Cheng Qi shouted.
Cheng Hui frowned when she heard this, "Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll find someone to prove it!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Cheng Hui asked Xia Mei to quickly find Liu Qingshuang and come to the general's mansion.
Ask her to help confirm it.
After a while, Liu Qingshuang came.
But after Liu Qingshuang heard what Cheng Hui wanted to ask, she just shook her head at her, "Huihui, there's no way to prove this."
"Why? Sister Qingshuang, didn't you tell me this? Everyone in the Liuguo Mansion knows about it. You just need to ask your eldest sister-in-law's people to be witnesses for me."
Liu Qingshuang looked at her, pulled her aside and whispered, "Huihui, there are some things we can only know in private. No one dares to say it openly. Just like Qin Shaojing's matter, she is not only saving her own face, but also the face of Duke Liu's Mansion. Duke Liu's Mansion will never publicize that their daughter-in-law has a private relationship with someone, not to mention... no one knows about it."
Cheng Hui refused to give up, "So my brother is being deceived by her!"
Liu Qingshuang sighed, "This kind of thing would only be believed if they were caught in bed together. We don't even know who her adulterer is. Even if you find someone from Duke Liu's mansion to confirm it, I don't think General Cheng will believe it."
When Cheng Hui heard this, her heart suddenly darkened and she lost all hope.
At this time, Qin Shaojing's voice came from the side, "What's the matter? Who said that I have a private relationship with others? Stand up and point it out to me!"
As she spoke, she gave Liu Qingshuang a provocative look.
Liu Qingshuang met her gaze, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
There was no way to say it, no way to respond. Even if she could go find her elder sister-in-law and ask her to come over, she would not tell this to anyone else.
How can her elder sister-in-law live in Duke Liu's mansion after this? !
Even she herself had to cover it up so that no one would find out that the news came from her.
She stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, she looked at Qin Shaojing and said, "Miss Qin, if you walk too much by the river, your shoes will get wet sooner or later."
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Stop making insinuations here and ruining my reputation!" Qin Shaojing was full of confidence.
"You slut!"
"That's enough!" Cheng Qi slapped the table when he saw this. He looked at Cheng Hui and said, "I also asked you to find the person. This is what Shao Jing did! From today on, you are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore!"
"Brother, Qin Shaojing is really..."
"Cheng Hui, I have spoiled you after all. You still dare to say nonsense and ruin Shao Jing's reputation. Don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between brother and sister!"
When Cheng Hui heard this, her heart, which had been dead as hell, was suddenly pierced through.
Before, she threatened him that she didn't want the brother-sister relationship, but now he doesn't want it anymore!
He really didn't want her as his sister anymore for Qin Shaojing!
"Brother, are you determined to marry her?" Cheng Hui asked.
Cheng Qi looked at her, "Shao Jing has sacrificed so much for me, I naturally have to give her an explanation."
