The next morning, the old lady asked Rong Qing to come over and bring up the matter of raising the heir apparent again.

Last night, it was Mo Zhaohua who found an excuse to take the person away, so today the old lady deliberately avoided her.

Rong Qing was firm in his attitude, "Mother, if you insist that your daughter-in-law has a legitimate son, then you can register Qing Ge'er under her name."

She just found out last night that Mo Yaohua had an affair with Prince Qi, so she would never agree as long as Mo Yaohua had to pass her test to become the heir, otherwise she would be sorry for her daughter.

Qing'er is Mo Yun's other illegitimate son, Mo Qinghua. Although he is only a few years old, he visits his mistress every morning and evening and respects her. This is also the way his biological mother, Aunt Qiao, repays her kindness.

At the beginning, she was almost sold after being defiled by the drunk Mo Yun. Fortunately, Rong Qing arrived in time, carried her concubine away and gave birth to a child. She will always remember this favor.

"How can this be possible?" The old lady became anxious when she heard this. She only wanted to raise Mo Yaohua's status and did not want to give an advantage to Mo Qinghua, whom she had always disliked.

In her eyes, Aunt Qiao was nothing more than a bed-climbing slut. If she hadn't been afraid that the news would get out and someone would use it to influence Mo Yun, she would not have agreed to Rong Qing's offer to raise her status.

Rong Qing asked, "Why not? Qing'er is still young and well-behaved, coming to pay his respects to me every day."

The old lady felt that she was indirectly criticizing Mo Shenghua and his sister for not paying their respects at Wanxiangju, but they were indeed slacking off.

The old lady found excuses to continue persuading Rong Qing, but she was refuted every time, so she had no choice but to let her go.

Rong Qing stood up, bowed politely, and left with her maid. Her determination to divorce became more resolute.

The old lady's face darkened. "Although she is silent in the mansion, she is so talkative once she opens her mouth."

Madam Liu reminded, "When it came to Aunt Qiao's matter, Madam had a heated debate with the scholars."

The old lady did not dare to use her status as mother-in-law to put pressure on her. "Then what do you think we should do? She has the support of the Fuguogong Mansion, and I can't force her."

Madam Liu didn't have any idea either. "I think it's better for Master to worry about this matter. After all, they are husband and wife."

evening.

Mo Zhaohua went to Wanxiangju to have dinner with Rongqing.

As a result, someone from the front yard came to report that the master would come to have dinner, and everyone guessed it was for Mo Yaohua.

Mo Zhaohua sneered, "It's just right that you're here. We can solve it all at once, so that we don't have to bother mother again and again."

She already knew about Rong Qing's visit to Yishoutang in the morning, but she didn't ask any more questions because she knew Rong Qing had resolved the issue.

Rong Qing felt that her daughter had become more intelligent after she reached the age of 15, and was somewhat curious, "I wonder if Zhao Zhao has any solution that will solve the problem once and for all?"

Mo Zhaohua winked at her playfully, stood up and whispered in her ear, "It's actually very simple, just..."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Mo Yun came with his servant. When he saw Mo Zhaohua here, he was stunned for a moment.

Mo Zhaohua directly exposed his thoughts, "Father doesn't want his daughter to be present?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to come." Mo Yun was afraid that the mother and daughter would join forces, but he didn't admit it.

Mo Zhaohua smiled, "Zhao Zhao has been dining with her mother at Wanxiangju these days, enjoying the loving mother and filial daughter relationship."

"It's me who disturbed you." Mo Yun suddenly felt that he was redundant, but it was not easy to leave since he was here.

Mo Zhaohua deliberately hinted, "How can it be a disturbance? It's a rare opportunity for the family to have a meal together, Zhao Zhao is so happy that he can't wait to have a meal together."

She emphasized the word "family". Mo Yun felt it was ironic and looked at Rong Qing for help, but Rong Qing deliberately avoided his sight.

The three of them sat down awkwardly, and the maid's service did not ease the atmosphere. Mo Yun wanted to escape, but the problem was not solved, and he would have to see Rong Qing in the future.

He spoke carefully, "Madam, although Sheng'er and Yaoyao were not raised by you, they were well raised by the Lan family..."

In Dongling Kingdom, as long as the mistress nods, concubines can raise their own children. Lan Ruyu has Mo Yun's support, so Rong Qing is too lazy to stop her.

The same was true for Aunt Qiao's subsequent children. Even though she had no legitimate son, she never thought of taking the child in.

Rong Qing's face was indifferent, "Since you taught her well, how can I let her take advantage of you? I already have a daughter, I don't need more."

Mo Yun frowned, "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about me and my mother. How can a dignified Shangshu Mansion not have a legitimate son?"

Mo Zhaohua said, "Aren't both legitimate and illegitimate children father's? Zhao Zhao is a legitimate daughter, and I don't see father showing any preference."

Mo Yun was furious. "You have the right to interrupt an elder when he is talking? Where did you learn these rules?"

Mo Zhaohua turned the tables and said, "Yes, my daughter doesn't know the rules. After all, she is not like her elder brother and third sister, who have their father to teach them."

Mo Yun noticed her abnormality and asked, "Why are you speaking so sharply recently? Could it be because of the marriage you were granted?"

Rong Qing quickly came to the rescue, "Since Master wants a legitimate son so much, why don't you give me a letter of divorce and take Lan as your wife?"

Mo Yun didn't dare to divorce his wife casually, "Madam, don't think too much, I have never had such an intention."

Divorcing a wife also requires a reason. Although Rong Qing did not give birth to a legitimate son, she did not violate the seven grounds for divorce and had an excellent reputation, so he could not divorce her.

"Master has doted on me for many years, and I have never complained about it. Now you are targeting the legitimate son and daughter. Are you going to kill my wife?"

Favoring the concubine and killing the wife was Mo Zhaohua's way to solve the problem once and for all, but she was not in a position to speak out, so Rong Qing spoke out herself.

Mo Yun's face changed slightly, "Madam, you are too kind. Although I favor Lan, it is not to this extent."

Although favoring a concubine and killing his wife is not a capital crime, it is enough to ruin his career. However, Rong Qing has a cold personality, so how could he suddenly become so strong?

While he was thinking, he heard Rong Qing said firmly: "Master, if you want to raise Lan's children as heirs, you can either divorce me or forget it!"
