The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

What Old Lady Yan said was clever didn't mean that Lin Jingqiu's willingness to be a mistress was clever.

Rather, it refers to Lin Jingqiu's skill in controlling the Duke of England.

When the Duke of England met Lin Jingqiu, Lin Jingqiu was already quite old.

She said she was innocent. The British prince, who didn't react at the time, realized something was wrong later.

Lin Jingqiu's explanation for this was that she had been engaged to her lover, but her fiancé died young and she had no intention of remarrying.

Therefore, I am still innocent.

When the Duke of England said he wanted to take her as a concubine, Lin Jingqiu directly refused, stating that she did not want to be a concubine of anyone, not even the Duke of Guo.

The Duke of England is a straightforward man. No matter how you look at it, he is the one who has done the girl wrong in this matter.

The girl's family was of good character and she didn't want to be a concubine. The Duke of England was so anxious that he scratched his head.

At this time, Lin Jingqiu said that not many people knew about the matter, and if the Duke of England could keep silent, she could continue to live her solitary life.

Yes, Lin Jingqiu told Duke Ying that her brother and sister-in-law were dissatisfied with her for remaining faithful to her fiancé, so she lived alone on the Lin family farm.

As for why he stayed in the inn that night, Lin Jingqiu also had his own explanation.

She went shopping and wasted time, so she couldn't return to the inn where Zhuangzi was staying.

All of this seems particularly reasonable.

The Duke of England already felt guilty for being so rude to her, but she refused to be his concubine. She was so sensible that she even believed she was a good man, regardless of her own reputation.

"Whether it's your father or someone else." The old lady looked deep and said, "Most men are easily manipulated by women who show weakness, especially your father, who is so straightforward that his thoughts can be seen through at a glance."

Lin Jingqiu successfully made the Duke of England agree to this outrageous thing by showing an extremely weak attitude and expressing his guilt.

Duke Ying asked about the manor where Lin Jingqiu lived, and ordered people to take good care of the place.

Something would always happen during this care, for example, some people would harass or cause trouble at the Lin family's farm, and the British princess would take the initiative to help Lin Jingqiu deal with these people.

In order to repay Duke Ying, Lin Jingqiu took the initiative to invite him to stay at the manor for dinner.

After all, something bad will always happen between a single man and a single woman.

Old Lady Yan had no expression on her face when she talked about what happened back then.

As Jiang Zhiyue listened, his face also became expressionless.

This matter seems strange no matter how you look at it. It's obviously a setup, but her father believed it.

Not only did he believe it, he jumped in and buried himself in it.

Eventually, things came to a logical conclusion; Lin Jingqiu was pregnant, and the truth could no longer be concealed.

The Duke of England could only report back to the old lady and bring the person to his house.

Also, because the Duke of England felt that the matter was his fault from beginning to end, he felt guilty towards Lin Jingqiu, but also had some friendship with her.

All these things combined gave Lin Jingqiu the capital to speak in the Duke's Mansion.

Even people as resourceful as Mr. Jiang and Old Lady Yan were filled with disgust and disbelief at what the Duke of England had done.

If... the second brother had used a little more of his brain, just a little bit with the eldest brother, Lin Jingqiu would never have been able to enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Old Lady Yan really suspected that her child had been replaced by someone when she gave birth.

But since the Duke of England's face was almost exactly like her husband's, the old lady couldn't say with a clear conscience that the eldest son was not her biological son.

All I can say is that he looks like his father, very much like his father.

After listening to his grandmother's story about Lin Jingqiu's entry into the mansion, Jiang Zhiyue keenly recalled the first node.

"Grandma, do you still remember who drank with dad that year?" Jiang Zhiyue asked.

The fact that the Lin family was involved with Prince Wei's Mansion had always been on Jiang Zhiyue's mind. It was related to the truth of how Lin Jingqiu entered the mansion that year, and she didn't want to miss any clues.

When Old Lady Yan heard her granddaughter asking the question, she was really surprised: "You are as sharp as your second uncle."

Jiang Zhiyue's heart skipped a beat. What her grandmother meant was that when Lin Jingqiu entered the mansion, her second uncle had already suspected that there was something wrong with this matter.

"So who is that person?" Jiang Zhiyue asked quickly.

Old Lady Yan shook her head: "Dead."

"Dead?" Jiang Zhiyue was stunned.

Old Madam Yan frowned slightly, thinking back to the information she had sent people to find out.

"That man was exiled for violating military law, and died of a cold on the way." Old Lady Yan looked at Jiang Zhiyue, "It happened within half a month when he got drunk and messed up the business."

Jiang Zhiyue was horrified when he heard this. Within half a month?

So, there must be something wrong with this matter.

Her father had known Lin Jingqiu for more than a year, and only brought her back when she became pregnant.

As soon as my grandmother and my second uncle got the news, they went to investigate, but the man had already turned into dry bones! What else could they find?

What a shame! There is no evidence to prove the crime!

Almost the moment Jiang Zhiyue heard these words, he completely believed that Lin Jingqiu and the Lin family must be related to the Prince Wei's Mansion!

The memory of her past life told her that Lin Jingqiu’s entry into the Duke of Ying’s Mansion must be related to the Prince of Wei’s Mansion!

Jiang Zhiyue no longer hesitated, and immediately held Old Lady Yan's hand, saying solemnly: "Grandma, there is something I want to tell you, please don't be anxious after listening to it."

Old Madam Yan rarely saw Jiang Zhiyue so serious, and nodded solemnly.

Jiang Zhiyue walked up to Old Lady Yan and whispered a few words to her.

Old Lady Yan's expression changed slightly, and her brows furrowed even deeper: "Is this true?"

Jiang Zhiyue nodded and met the old lady's eyes: "It is absolutely true. My granddaughter dare not joke about this matter."

Old Madam Yan really didn't expect that the Lin family actually had secret dealings with the Prince Wei's Palace.

Prince Wei's Palace...

In a flash, Old Lady Yan suddenly understood the reason why her granddaughter mentioned the Lin family and the Prince Wei's Mansion to her at this time.

It was not because she was afraid that the Lin family had the support of the Prince of Wei's Mansion, but because she suspected that the Lin family had been involved with the Prince of Wei's Mansion a few years ago!

When Old Lady Yan realized what was happening, she immediately took a deep breath.

"Grandma..." Jiang Zhiyue looked at Old Lady Yan worriedly.

Old Lady Yan tried to calm herself down, gathered her thoughts, and turned to look at Jiang Zhiyue: "Good boy, you did a great job. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have made another big mistake!"

Jiang Zhiyue held Old Lady Yan's hand tightly, "Grandma, we are a family, we don't say such things."

Old Lady Yan thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then the Lin family can't be dealt with easily."

At least we have to investigate the relationship between Lin and the Lin family and the Prince Wei's Palace.

If Lin is really a pawn sent by Prince Wei's Mansion to be planted in the Duke of Ying's Mansion, then she cannot be touched easily, so as not to alert the enemy.

The other party went to so much trouble to send this person in, so he must have some ulterior motive, and the ulterior motive must be quite big.

It can't be that he just wanted to send a beautiful concubine to carry on the Duke of England's family line, right?

Prince Wei was also a son favored by Emperor Rong'an and a strong contender for the crown prince.

The eldest daughter of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion was Princess Xuan, so she was naturally classified as part of Xuan's faction.

The Prince of Wei's Palace and the Prince of Xuan's Palace were destined enemies.
