Jiang Wanqing took a deep breath, looked at the two people in the distance with flickering eyes, and tried hard to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

I heard what Zhou Xiaoxiao said a long time ago. Although I was skeptical, at least I was mentally prepared.

However, Jiang Wanqing was still a little surprised when he saw the person who had died before standing in front of him alive again.

How dare Zhou Zigu fake his death!

How dare you play tricks on me!

He is the Marquis of Xingchang, and she is the only legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo!

Jiang Wanqing looked at Zhou Zigu in the distance, picked a delicate flower and put it in the bun of the beautiful woman.

After all, she was still a teenage girl, and her eyes turned slightly red.

She murmured, "Madam Su, if he had someone he liked, I would not have married into the Xingchang Marquisate. I have only been in the house for less than two years, and he has faked his death and taken a concubine. Where is the reputation of our Zhenguogong Mansion?"

Why would he kill himself on his wedding night?

After giving birth to Xiaoxiao, she has no way back.

Nanny Su was a little out of her mind, but after listening to Jiang Wanqing's words, she finally came to her senses.

She pulled Jiang Wanqing's sleeve, with a complicated look in her eyes: "Madam, why don't we go and ask the Marquis what he means!"

[What a bad father! He faked his own death, of course, in order to defraud my mother of her dowry! After all, the Xingchang Marquisate has long been unable to make ends meet.]

[I still want my mother to raise a son for a bad woman! ]

[When mommy raises the child, this bad daddy and bad woman will steal mommy's achievements! ]

[These two bad guys! It’s not enough to harm my mother, they also want to harm the entire Zhenguogong Mansion! ]

Zhou Xiaoxiao smacked her lips and complained.

The moment Jiang Wanqing heard the word "Duke Zhenguo Mansion", she raised her eyelids and her face showed some uncertainty.

The previous sadness also dissipated a little.

Zhou Zigu wanted her dowry and wanted to kill her, but she could still remain calm.

But, I want to hurt her family.

She absolutely won't allow it!

Until this moment, Jiang Wanqing had completely believed that Zhou Xiaoxiao was reborn, and perhaps could "predict the future."

Jiang Wanqing recalled the voices she had just heard.

Zhou Zigu faked his death for the sake of his dowry.

Yes, once Zhou Zigu died, he no longer had any salary from the court.

As the mistress of the Marquis of Xingchang Mansion, she naturally has to take on the responsibility of the entire Marquis of Xingchang Mansion.

However, the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion had long been in deficit and owed a lot of debts, which were all filled with her dowry.

No wonder... No wonder my mother-in-law not only did not scold me for being unlucky with the servants after I got married, but instead let me be in charge of the household chores.

It turns out... he was planning to take the dowry.

It’s a pity that I was deceived for more than a year!

More than a year!

Jiang Wanqing felt a pang of pain when he thought about all the money he had spent on the Xingchang Marquisate over the past year or so.

Now, I am asked to raise a concubine for the Zhou family!

Pah, what a shameless family!

Nanny Su looked at Jiang Wanqing who hadn't said anything yet, and had a cold face.

He couldn't help but comfort her again: "Madam, maybe... maybe the Marquis has other reasons. If not, let's go up and ask clearly. If it is true that the Marquis deceived us, the young masters will naturally seek justice for you later!"

There was a flash of hatred in Jiang Wanqing's eyes.

Then he waved his hand and said calmly, "No, don't alert the enemy. It's obvious that my good husband faked his death just to live his own life here with this mistress. Let's keep an eye on this place. Oh, and check the relationship between Zhou Musheng and Zhou Zigu carefully. This house is under my name after all. The servants didn't tell me that Zhou Zigu is not dead. I'm afraid he has been replaced by someone else."

Jiang Wanqing naturally knew that Zhou Musheng was Zhou Zigu's child.

But she couldn't tell it directly to Nanny Su, even though she could hear Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts.

If that happens, not only Xiaoxiao, but she too will be regarded as a monster.

Since these people want to use me to raise Zhou Musheng well.

Then...she will definitely teach this child well!

And most importantly…

Since Xiaoxiao said that Zhou Zigu would harm the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she had to stay in the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion to see what her "good husband" wanted to do!

After Jiang Wanqing's reminder, Nanny Su reacted immediately.

His face changed drastically: "If the Marquis is still alive, the old lady wants Madam to raise Zhou Musheng, taking the status of the legitimate son. I'm afraid that Zhou Musheng has some relationship with the Marquis. Maybe... maybe..."

This Zhou Musheng is Zhou Zigu’s biological son!

Nanny Su found it difficult to say the rest.

At last, he just cursed in a low voice: "These people are so shameless! They want you, Madam, to make wedding clothes for them!"

"They have the intention, but it depends on whether they have the ability to do it!"

After saying that, Jiang Wanqing hugged Zhou Xiaoxiao and left again.

Nanny Su looked back at the house with great disgust in her eyes.

He hurriedly caught up with Jiang Wanqing.

Xiaoxiao, who was in Jiang Wanqing's arms, felt a little unhappy when she saw that her mother did not break up with her, and soon fell asleep again.

When Jiang Wanqing returned to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.

The mother-in-law was holding Zhou Musheng's little hand, sitting in the hall waiting for Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing bowed to the old lady.

The old lady looked at the baby in Jiang Wanqing's arms and frowned slightly.

With a slightly unhappy tone, he said: "Now that you already have a legitimate son, Mu Sheng, you should pay more attention to Mu Sheng!"

Jiang Wanqing lowered her eyes and said, "Mother-in-law is right. Today I am taking Xiaoxiao to the temple to pray for Mu Sheng. I hope he can be like the Marquis and take on the responsibility of the Xingchang Marquisate in the future. I heard that the prayers of young children are the most effective."

After hearing this, the old lady's expression looked a little better.

But considering the baby still in swaddling clothes, she sneered: "What can a toothless girl pray for!"

[Bad ancestor! You come to trip up mother again! ]

[I won't pray! Even if I pray, I'll pray that all your teeth fall out! ]

With a "puff" sound

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

My daughter is so cute.

The old lady frowned: "Jiang, do you have any opinion about me?"

Jiang Wanqing quickly shook her head: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

She couldn't say that she also wanted to see the old lady's teeth fall out and she couldn't bite anything.

The old lady saw Jiang Wanqing being so respectful.

Then he sat up straight again.

She cleared her throat and said, "Wanqing, you have worked so hard in taking care of the huge Xingchang Marquis Mansion over the years. So, mother also wants to share the burden with you regarding Mu Sheng. Your elder brother studied under Mr. Wuchen and even won the first place in the imperial examination a few years ago. I wonder if you can invite him to be Mu Sheng's first teacher."
