He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

That's right, a stand-in.

The Marquis of Yangling fell in love with the Ling family, and when he couldn't get it, he raised her blood as a substitute for ten years and then took it as his own. It has to be said that such a thing cannot be described as ridiculous.

Shen Qing put her thoughts back, "Has Aunt Liang ever seen the Ling family's young daughter?"

Aunt Liang shook her head, "Although I know that Qingmei has a little girl that she holds in her hands, I have never seen it. Because Qingmei was frightened and gave birth prematurely when she was more than eight months pregnant, so the child was born with a weak body. Qingmei has been carefully raised in the house and is rarely taken out. "

Shen Qing thought for a moment, that is to say, there should be very few people who can recognize Qin Luan's identity. If nothing else, the person Yangling Marquis is guarding is Aunt Liang.

Because he knew that Aunt Liang was close to the Ling family, Marquis Yangling was afraid that she would recognize Qin Luan's identity. He was also afraid that Qin Luan would know that he was just his mother's substitute, and that Qin Luan would not be able to accept that he was just an outsider. Linghou tried his best to create such a dreamy scene of Qingyun Lane for Qin Luan.

I have to say that Marquis Yangling is really persistent towards the Ling family.

There is one final doubt, how did Yanglinghou get to know the Ling family?

Aunt Liang obviously knew more than Aunt Qiu, so Shen Qing repeated the question she had asked Aunt Qiu before.

Hearing this, Aunt Liang sighed and talked about the secrets that Aunt Qiu didn't know back then.

The first time Yanglinghou and Ling met was when Aunt Liang was pregnant with Mu Lingyue.

Although Aunt Liang and the Ling family are distant relatives, because they are in the same city of Shengjing, the two families are closer, so Aunt Liang and the Ling family can be regarded as having a friendship since childhood.

On that day, Mrs. Ling, who was about to get married, came to visit Aunt Liang. It happened that Marquis Yangling had returned from the early morning court. Mrs. Ling was graceful, charming and beautiful, and Marquis Yangling fell in love with her at a glance.

Then, knowing that Aunt Liang was acquainted with the Ling family, Marquis Yangling thought of using Aunt Liang's power to carry the Ling family into the palace, but he didn't expect that the Ling family had already been engaged, and there were only more than a month left before the wedding.

The Marquis of Yangling was unwilling to give in, and secretly put pressure on the Ling family several times with his title, hoping to stop him halfway, but he didn't expect that the Ling family had a strong heart, and the Qin family's heritage should not be underestimated either. Yangling Marquis With no choice but to do so, he could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Ling got married to another man.

Because he was afraid that Mrs. Yanglinghou would find out and ruin his plan, Yanglinghou kept it secret from beginning to end. Only Aunt Liang, who Yanglinghou regarded as a matchmaker, knew some of the inside story.

Hearing this, if it weren't for the solid evidence Lu Yan said about the Qin family's case, Shen Qing would have suspected that Marquis Yangling was involved.

After saying that, Aunt Liang looked at Shen Qing, "Young Madam, who is the person in this painting?"

The corner of Shen Qing's mouth raised a slight arc, but she did not directly respond to Aunt Liang's question, "Don't worry, the two aunts will know about it soon."

…

When Shen Qing returned to Yanglinghou Mansion, she caught up with Mu Ziqian going crazy again at the gate of Tinglan Courtyard.

Seeing Shen Qing, Mu Ziqian's eyes immediately turned red and he shouted, "Shen Qing! Why! Why do you always have to be so vicious!"

Shen Qing was confused and looked at the nearest Haitang, "What's wrong?"

Haitang reported respectfully, "Back to Madam, Aunt Lin's personal maid, Lian Rui, is dead. And yesterday, when Aunt Lin fell down and had a miscarriage, only Lian Rui was present."

Lian Rui's death meant that the clues to Lin Xuefu's miscarriage were gone. Mu Ziqian, who had identified Shen Qing as the murderer from the beginning, naturally felt that Shen Qing must have done this as well, so Even if he looked for it, it was all in vain.

Shen Qing looked at Mu Ziqian who was being held down by the boys, took a few steps forward, frowned slightly, and said with a chill in his voice, "I told you yesterday that this matter has nothing to do with me. Did you listen?" Don’t understand human language?”

Without waiting for Mu Ziqian to respond, Shen Qing spoke out again, "Mu Ziqian, who gave you the illusion that I, Shen Qing, am a soft persimmon that you can squeeze and round, and come to me again and again?" trouble?"

The anger on Mu Ziqian's face subsided for the most part, and panic flashed through his eyes, but he still pretended to be strong and said, "Shen Qing, I'm not a fool. I can clearly see who the murderer is!"

Shen Qing was too lazy to argue with him, "Just go find whoever is the murderer."

Seeing Shen Qing raising his feet to leave, Mu Ziqian's unwillingness rose again, and he became more courageous, "Shen Qing, you are just a villain who dares to do something but not to do it. You only dare to do Those things that murder people behind the scenes!"

Shen Qing didn't even look back, "Throw him back to his Hongyan Hall."

Mu Ziqian was just about to say, "Even if you throw me back, I will still come out," when Shen Qing spoke before him, "Break his legs to prevent him from coming out again."

Shen Qing originally didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, the Yining Marquis Mansion and the Yangling Marquis Mansion were not close together, and it was quite troublesome for Shen Yi'an to go back and forth. But Mu Ziqian just didn't have the foresight and kept doing it again and again. And the third one was wandering in front of Shen Qing. In this case, Shen Yi'an could only endure the hardship.

…

As Shen Qing thought, after knowing that Mu Ziqian's legs were broken by Shen Qing, Marquis Yangling was immediately furious and sent people directly to the Marquis Yining's Mansion to invite Shen Yian over and punish Shen Qing no matter what.

The result was not at all what Yangling Marquis had imagined. After knowing the whole story, Shen Yi'an not only had no intention of blaming Shen Qing, but bluntly said that Mu Ziqian deserved to have his legs broken for his pampering of concubines and the destruction of his wife. , before leaving, he even warned that if Shen Qing was aggrieved at all in the Mu family, he would lead his men to smash the Yangling Marquis Mansion directly.

Because she knew that Shen Qing was living a comfortable life in the Mu family, the idea of ​​spoiling a concubine and killing his wife might not hold up in front of others, but Shen Yi'an didn't mind taking the initiative to stir up trouble. The worst he could do was to make trouble to the emperor and both of them would be fined together. , Anyway, the Shen family has plenty of money.

Marquis Yangling called Shen Yi'an over aggressively, but he was severely threatened by Shen Yi'an. His anger and blood surged on the spot, and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.

Yangling Marquis, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, immediately went to the Hongyantang Hall and gave Mu Ziqian a hard scolding before he felt better. Then he warned sternly: "Mu Ziqian, if you dare to provoke Shen Qing again in the future, , I won’t need her to take action, I’ll just beat you to death, you don’t have a long memory!”

After saying that, he walked away directly.

Mu Ziqian was completely stunned. He was obviously the one who was injured, so why did Marquis Yangling take his anger out on him?

…

Three days later, Lu Yan took Shen Qing to Qingyun Lane at night, and Shen Qing and Qin Luan reached an agreement.

At the same time, in order to celebrate the smooth cooperation between the two, Shen Qing also recounted all the news he had received from Aunt Liang to Qin Luan.

Qin Luan pursed her lips tightly and didn't say much, but the seeds of hatred in her heart sprouted quickly.

…

The second day of April in the eighteenth year of Jiahe is the zodiac day, which is a good time to get married.

Following the concubinage scandal in March, the interior and exterior of Yanglinghou Mansion were once again covered with red silk, even the plaque at the door was no exception.

Looking up at the sky, Shen Qing felt that the time was almost up. Shen Qing ordered Haitang Mughin and others to notify each hospital to come to the main hall to watch the ceremony, while she rushed towards Qingyun Lane with Chanyi.

As a 'virtuous and virtuous' daughter-in-law, Shen Qing planned to arrange an unforgettable birthday gift for Yangling Marquis before he returned from court early in the morning.
