Shen Yiran continued, "After seeing that I had solved the poisoning issue, my second sister-in-law was still dissatisfied, so she hired people to cause trouble at Yaoshan. A group of five or six people went to the mountain carrying lime. Fortunately, the Marquis's people helped and caught them."

"How can it be such a coincidence? It just happened to be here. There must be something strange about this. Stop trying to hide it. I don't admit it!"

The hired man was also brought up by Shen Yiran.

"He also fled out of the city, but I caught him and brought him back. My second sister-in-law is quite good at handling the aftermath. All of them took the money and went out to hide. If it weren't for my quick eyes and hands, I really wouldn't have caught him."

The old lady scolded with a sullen face: "Kneel down!"

Rong Qingqing didn't dare not to kneel, so she had to kneel down, still with a complaining look on her face, as if she was muttering how she, the daughter of a former imperial tutor, could suffer such a great injustice.

The old lady ignored him and said to Shen Yiran: "Continue!"

Shen Yiran turned to Xu and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know what happened in the fabric store?"

Xu saw that Shen Yiran could produce evidence for every case, so she naturally had evidence for her own case as well.

"do not know."

Xu pretended not to know and replied with a grim look.

Shen Yiran took out the testimony and said, "The boss's confession is written on it. Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be confused."

Xu took the paper and looked at it casually: "I really don't know, and I don't know who is pretending to be me to cause trouble!"

Shen Yiran turned to look at Rong Qingqing: "It was my second sister-in-law who reminded me. If not, I really wouldn't have been able to find out about my eldest sister-in-law's matter."

Rong Qingqing knelt down with a stern face: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Shen Yiran shook his head helplessly and said to Xu: "Although the second sister-in-law went to the store and picked out all the problematic fabrics, I have no evidence that she did it on purpose. But the eldest sister-in-law is sure to know."

When Xu heard this, she was shocked. She never expected Rong Qingqing to kill two birds with one stone!

Xu could only stare at Rong Qingqing but didn't dare to say anything. If she spoke, wouldn't it mean that she was the one who swapped the cloth?

Shen Yiran's goal has been achieved, and he stepped back to wait for the old lady to deal with him.

Xu immediately covered her stomach and cried out.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"

Qiu Ju said, "The old lady estimated that the first lady's stomach would hurt, so she prepared a doctor in advance. I will call the doctor in for diagnosis right away."

Xu gritted her teeth and said nothing. The old lady was so ruthless this time!

After the doctor made the diagnosis, he shook his head at the old lady.

Mrs. Xu took the initiative to say, "It was indeed painful just now. I felt relieved when I heard that the doctor was here, and my stomach felt much better."

The old lady waved her hand, and Qiuju and the doctor retreated.

Rong Qingqing didn't want to suffer alone, so she said coldly, "Sister-in-law, stop pretending. I know all your plans, and I know what you did."

Xu gritted her teeth, knowing that she had no other options, so she leaned on her belly and said, "Old Madam, I just changed the cloth. I'm not as vicious as she is. I won't kneel, right?"

The old lady said coldly: "What you are doing now is indeed not serious, what about before?"

Xu didn't answer and pretended not to understand.

"Old Madam, everything has been explained clearly. As long as the two sisters-in-law don't do it anymore, then it's fine, right?"

Shen Yiran took the initiative to plead for mercy. The old lady looked at Shen Yiran distressedly and said, "Have you forgiven them for these things?"

Shen Yiran raised her eyes and looked at Xu and Rong Qingqing. It was not a question of forgiveness. If she caught them committing the same crime again in the future, she knew that she would never show mercy.

"Yes, we are all family. As long as we talk it out, we are still a family. A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. I don't want to make things worse."

"Alas, you are sensible! But you are so wronged!"

The old lady immediately ordered: "I haven't been in such good spirits recently, and the things on the farm have to be handed over to someone. I originally wanted to choose one between the two of you, after all, Ran Ran is already very busy."

Xu and Rong Qingqing stared at the old lady in surprise.

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "I think it's better to hand it over to someone who really cares about the interests of the Marquisate. Ranran, you have to work harder and follow me to take over the affairs of Zhuangzi!"

Everyone knows that Zhuangzi is the main source of income for the Marquis' Mansion. If both of them are given to Shen Yiran, when the old lady passes away, won't their two families be left with nothing!

"Old lady, I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment!"

Xu apologized first, then covered her stomach and was about to kneel down, but Qiuju quickly grabbed her.

Rong Qingqing also cried and apologized: "Old Madam, I was really wrong. I will definitely change. The Marquis's Mansion clearly has three rooms, why are they all given to Shen Yiran alone!"

When the old lady heard this, her eyes flashed with scarlet anger: "You mean that after I die, you two other families won't be able to fight for the things?"

Rong Qingqing realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry and quickly explained.

But the old lady scolded: "Alright, reflect on yourselves. If you do such things again, my mansion will have to ask you to leave!"

Are you going to divorce your wife?

Xu and Rong Qingqing dared not say anything else and bowed to the old lady before leaving.

Shen Yiran stopped and looked at their backs, feeling very comfortable.

The old lady sighed, walked over, held Shen Yiran's hand and patted it, saying sadly: "Ranran, you must not learn from them. These harem tricks are hard to guard against, so you have to be careful!"

Shen Yiran nodded, looking at the old lady's haggard look, and said with concern: "Old lady, please sit down and rest first. The doctor is here, can you ask her to prescribe some tranquilizing soup for you?"

The old lady did not refuse, and sighed, "If there is a day when my mansion is in chaos and leads to its decline, will I still have the face to meet the ancestors of the Bo family?"

Shen Yiran felt a little regretful. He didn't expect the old lady to be so upset. He could only sit beside the bed and comfort her.

"Don't worry, old lady. After this incident, the two sisters-in-law should realize their mistakes and won't make them again."

Qiu Ju also persuaded beside him: "Yes, old lady, as long as the third young master and the third lady are here, nothing will happen to the mansion!"

The old lady held Shen Yiran's hand and nodded: "Yes, Ranran, it's great that you can come into our family. Your mother saved Bo Jinnian who was in labor, it must be God's will!"

Hearing his mother's words, Shen Yiran couldn't help but shed tears.

"Good child, don't be sad, the Bo family is your home. Your mother has done a favor to our Marquis Mansion, and our Bo family will not treat you unfairly!"

Shen Yiran wiped away her tears and shook her head desperately: "The old lady knows how the Shen family treated me. If it weren't for the old lady's protection, I wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. Now I have regarded the Marquis' Mansion as my own home, and I should be thanking the old lady."
