Liu put down her wine glass, a cold look in her eyes.

She was indeed jealous that Su Yueqi had descendants, because her own Yue Jie was more outstanding, but he left nothing behind.

Since Yue Jie left nothing behind, Su Yueqi cannot leave any bloodline behind either.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Xiaokang said dissatisfiedly that she suspected that Liu had been driven crazy by her and dared to speak like that in front of the old marquis.

"Liu, what Xiaokang said is very right. I hope you can treat the child well."

The old marquis had a serious look on his face. He didn't want Liu to do anything out of line. If his great-grandson died, he would make sure Liu was buried with him.

After hearing what the old marquis said, Liu felt heartbroken and angry. This old thing had no idea how the second wife persecuted the first wife. It was impossible for her to treat that piece of unborn flesh as her own!

"Old Marquis, since my second brother's wife mentioned such a happy event, it's just right that my daughter-in-law has also discovered an interesting thing, so I will tell it out for everyone to hear and have fun. It can be regarded as adding a dish to tonight's dinner."

Liu suddenly laughed, but Xiaokang couldn't understand that smile.

Only Su Qingwan slowly took a sip of the warm peach blossom wine. This was a big show!

The old marquis raised his hand and let Liu continue.

"I heard that in a wealthy family in Beijing, a relative of a servant had bad behavior and had an affair with a servant in the mansion, and she became pregnant. But by chance, the pregnant woman was very lucky and accidentally became the maid of this wealthy family. What's even more coincidental is that the master of the house didn't know what the woman had done, and was complacent, thinking that she was going to have a son!"

"Don't you think this is an interesting story? When I first heard about it, I was wondering how there could be such a stupid owner, but I didn't expect that there really is one!"

Liu emphasized the last word and said it while looking at Xiaokang.

Everyone else also looked at Xiaokang, especially the old marquis. Thinking about the happy event that Xiaokang had just mentioned, he had already understood that Liu was saying that the child might not be of the marquis's bloodline, but was most likely a bastard that Xiaokang had created to confuse the marquis's bloodline.

Xiaokang was also panicked. She had only met Ji Ma's niece Xiaotao a few times, and had never seen her again after sending her out of the Marquis' Mansion. She only asked Xiaotao's parents to take good care of her, and Ji Ma was the one who visited her normally. Could it be that they dared to join hands to deceive her?

But the most panicked person was Nanny Ji. Xiao Tao's pregnancy was a happy event, but if something really happened to confuse the bloodline of the Marquis's family, the old Marquis would definitely kill them. She was afraid that her life would end today.

"Impossible! The child Xiao Tao is carrying is the Second Young Master's. Madam, please stop making false accusations."

Nanny Ji said hurriedly.

Liu glanced at Nanny Ji coldly and said, "Do you have the right to speak when the master is speaking?"

"Mrs. Ji is right! Sister-in-law, the anecdote you told is boring. I know you are jealous that I have a grandson and you don't, so you deliberately made it up to slander me."

Xiaokang wished she could eat Liu alive. This vicious woman actually used underhanded tricks to prevent her from taking her grandson back. She would not succeed.

The old marquis didn't say anything, but Su Qingwan saw that the frown between his eyebrows deepened, and it was obvious that he took Liu's words seriously.

Liu sneered.

"I dare not make up anything. How do you think I know this? I only know about it because someone reported it to me. If the old marquis does not believe it, the informant is outside the mansion. Go and call him in and ask him questions, and you will know."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaokang realized that Liu had been prepared for this, and she had known for a long time that Xiaotao was pregnant and was keeping the child outside.

"Let people in."

Since the matter concerns the bloodline of the Marquisate, the old Marquis also became serious.

Xiao Kang wanted to stop her, but before she could say anything, Su Yunrou said, "Second aunt, you should also want to know whether the child that woman is carrying is my second brother's, right? So you'd better listen to what those people say first."

Unable to continue the family dinner, the old marquis and others went directly to the flower hall in front.

Su Zhiru didn't want to go at first, but when he saw Jiang going with her son and daughter, he followed too.

In the center of the hall, there were seven people kneeling, both men and women, all wearing coarse clothes. They all looked honest and docile, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.

Liu looked at the seven people and ordered with satisfaction: "Say again what you said to me before."

"……Yes!"

The seven people spoke timidly, their voices coming in and out and not in unison.

"I am Tao's uncle. I heard from her mother some time ago that Tao went to the Marquis's mansion to enjoy her life, but she came back a few days later and hooked up with the cowherd in the farm. My wife saw them sneak into the cowshed and make a noise."

"Yes... yes, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Tao girl also said that the cowherd was very powerful or something."

"Not only the cowherd, but one night I saw a tall, thin man coming out of the small peach room."

……

"Great! How dare you confuse the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion? This is a great treasure!"

Liu howled loudly, and Xiaokang and Ji Ma'am both turned pale.

"How is this possible? It's impossible! Second Madam, after Xiaotao went to the farm, she never left the front door or the back door. She wouldn't mess around with anyone."

Nanny Ji argued for him, but her words were in vain because she stayed in the Marquis' Mansion every day and had no idea about so many things happening on the farm.

At this time, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in Xiaokang's heart. She had a cold face and glared hatefully at the seven people kneeling below.

"Is everything you said true? If it's not true, you won't survive this day!" the old marquis asked coldly.

A few of them shrank back, glanced at Liu secretly, and when they saw her encouraging look, they nodded without hesitation.

"It's true. Everything we said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood."

Xiaokang was so shocked that his body shook and his hands turned cold. It turned out to be true!

She turned her head to look at Nanny Ji, her eyes cold and cruel.

Nanny Ji fell to her knees in front of Xiaokang with a plop.

"Second Madam, I don't know anything! But I think Xiao Tao is not the kind of person they say she is..."

"Mrs. Ji, what do you think is the use? Why not ask them in person?"

Liu clapped her hands as she spoke, and someone immediately came in pushing Xiaotao's family of three.

Xiaotao's belly has bulged and looks pointed. If an experienced midwife were here, she would be able to tell at a glance that it is a boy.

"Second Madam, I have not done anything wrong. The child in my belly is really the Second Young Master's flesh and blood. Please believe me!"
