Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

So that’s it!

But Shen Yiran could tell there were many hidden secrets. Bo Jinnian had concealed a lot, and his father, who was just a chief clerk, had played a role in it. Bo Jinjue also looked a little suspicious when he heard it was Wang of Langya.

The story was told, but the old lady's face darkened.

"How dare you start to mess up over such a small matter? Our Ruihou Mansion was awarded for our merits earned on the battlefield. You all only think about yourselves and not the Mansion!"

The first and second wives lowered their heads and dared not answer.

Shen Yiran could have exposed their ridiculous behavior, but she just smiled and said nothing.

Anyway, the old lady knows everything.

"You, the first and second wives, should also remember your origins. Now that the three of you brothers have entered the court, you should support each other and bring glory to the Marquisate!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stood up and agreed.

"Okay, let's all go back to our rooms and rest. Is Tuan Tuan's condition stable?"

Rong Qingqing looked much better after hearing the old lady's personal inquiry. She smiled and replied, "Thanks to the old lady's blessing, he is now stable. The doctor said that he should be taken in after a while."

The old lady nodded: "I will go to see her tomorrow. You have worked hard, so go back early."

Rong Qingqing immediately felt proud and agreed to leave.

Bo Jinnian supported Shen Yiran and walked back, smiling and saying, "My lady, please wait until I take a bath before interrogating you. I have been really busy these past few days."

Shen Yiran burst out laughing when he heard this, but he quickly stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, "You even hid such a big thing from me. I must ask you about it after you finish taking a shower!"

That night, Shen Yiran and Bo Jinnian lay face to face, and Shen Yiran asked before Bo Jinnian closed his eyes: "How did my father get involved?"

Bo Jinnian knew he couldn't escape, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I knew I couldn't escape my wife's interrogation."

Bo Jinnian opened his eyes and said, "The Wang family of Langya bought land in the capital city. Your Majesty secretly sent me to investigate."

"I didn't expect someone in the court to know about it and leak it to Wang Clan of Langya, so they came up with this method to disgust us. It's just a rumor, but the real purpose is to make His Majesty not use me."

Shen Yiran looked solemn, nodded and said: "It looks like a soul summon, but it actually has a deeper meaning."

Bo Jinnian nodded. He liked to see Shen Yiran's thoughtful expression. Bo Jinnian adjusted his posture and looked at Shen Yiran while resting his head on his arm. "But what the old lady meant was that the harvest from that piece of land is average, and it is close to the mountain of Wang Clan of Langya. There will be daily friction. It is better to buy it."

Shen Yiran immediately said, "Of course, you can decide the sale of the farm on your own. I'm just worried that His Majesty will disagree."

Bo Jinnian said, "That's exactly what I said, and the old lady was very upset."

Shen Yiran thought about it, recalled the situations he had seen near the fields during the previous visits, and suddenly sat up.

“Not only are we not buying, we’re also buying the land!”

Hearing this, Bo Jinnian smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yiran's wrist to let her lie down again: "The old lady meant to buy the land, but you are singing a different tune. I don't know why the old lady still favors you."

Shen Yiran didn't get angry when she heard Bo Jinnian teasing her. She lay down and said actively, "Let's go around the mountain and buy all the land around it. We already have a lot of land, and there's still some left. Let's take it!"

"If they do something bad, won't our losses be even greater?"

Bo Jinnian didn't understand these things, but he could think of this.

"The loss is limited. We just need to send more people to patrol. Our main goal is to surround them and let them know that it is not easy to survive in Kyoto!"

Bo Jinnian turned over and lay flat on his back, thinking for a while: "Isn't this a declaration of war?"

Shen Yiran immediately knew what Bo Jinnian was thinking. He must be worried that Bo Jinjue would be implicated because of his work over there.

"My Lord, you think too badly of them. If they fail once, they won't use this trick again. There must be other tricks waiting for us. There is no need to worry so much."

"I just did this to make His Majesty happy."

Bo Jinnian didn't answer. Shen Yiran wasn't sure whether he was really asleep or just pretending, so he didn't say anything. He got up and pulled the quilt to cover him.

The next day, he did not express his thoughts.

The old lady seemed a little disapproving.

"We are a tall tree that attracts the wind. It's not easy to avoid trouble, so why would we go looking for trouble? Ranran, I know you are angry, but it's over, so let it be."

Shen Yiran smiled and said, "If someone punches us, and we go to the pharmacy to get medicine to cure ourselves, do we expect that the people who hit us won't attack us? They will just think that we are easy to bully, and they will come even harder."

The old lady sighed and said, "Of course I understand this is true. I have a hot temper and will definitely not tolerate it. It's just that the people in our mansion are too outrageous. I'm worried that if they come, we won't be able to resist."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran realized why this incident had made the old lady so disappointed.

"In fact, the old lady doesn't need to worry. When the real thing comes to light, the eldest and second brothers will understand what is going on and why the aura of the Marquis' Mansion has been lost."

The old lady patted the back of Shen Yiran's hand and said, "Good boy, your third room is reliable, but this matter still needs to be discussed."

Shen Yiran had no choice but to act on his own. He secretly sent a letter to Lai Sheng, asking him to keep an eye on it and buy the land before Wang of Langya.

Coincidentally, the family in the farm over there had also been poisoned by a Gu recently, and all their misfortunes were going wrong. After listening to Lai Sheng's advice, they secretly investigated and indeed found the person behind the scenes.

This family was just a merchant family and had no confidence in getting involved, so they immediately agreed to hand over the land to Lai Sheng. Lai Sheng trusted Shen Yiran and bought the land with a silver note overnight.

Bo Jinnian did not want to be summoned into the imperial study by His Majesty for other matters, but he hinted to him to trap the Wang family of Langya in the mountain.

Three days had passed since this incident. Although Bo Jinnian accepted the order, he was worried that the land had already been bought by the Wang family of Langya.

I went to ask and found out that the family had transferred the property.

Bo Jinnian could only come to the old lady to discuss that if he couldn't complete the emperor's order, he had to find a way to complete it.

The old lady was so worried when she heard this that she could only say, "We can only spend more money to buy it. Didn't the family say they didn't sell it to the mountain owner? Maybe we can still buy it."

Bo Jinnian felt a little regretful and came into the room and sighed with Shen Yiran.

"I should have listened to you earlier. His Majesty has ordered us to buy land, but the land has already been transferred. I guess Wang Clan of Langya might have bought it under someone else's name this time. This is going to be difficult."

When Shen Yiran heard this, he just smiled, went into the inner room, took out the land deed, and placed it on the table in front of Bo Jinnian.

"I guessed that His Majesty would want to give the other man a taste of his own medicine, so I ignored your and the old lady's objections and bought it in someone else's name. Even if the Wang Clan of Langya were to investigate, it would take some time to find out about us."

Bo Jinnian was delighted, holding Shen Yiran's delicate hand and bringing it to his chest: "My wife is really my good helper!"
