The noise was too loud, and Shen Yiran knew that he could no longer pretend not to hear it.

He stood up and said to Bai Zhi, "You stay in the mansion. If Yueyue comes back later, tell her not to come out."

Bai Zhi nodded and told Nuandong and Liangxia to follow carefully.

"This is a Buddhist temple after all. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's move to a brighter place and sit down to talk slowly, shall we?"

Shen Yiran came forward and spoke to the old lady first, without looking at anyone else.

The old lady was so angry that her face was wrinkled. Seeing Shen Yiran coming, she sighed and nodded: "I was also very angry. I didn't expect that this would offend the gods and Buddhas. It's not good."

As he said that, Shen Yiran supported the old lady and went to Jingxin Hall.

Bo Jinxiu helped Mei Niang catch up and secretly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we have plenty of confidence."

Sitting down in the Jingxin Hall, Liangxia and Nuandong followed Qiuju to make arrangements and then stepped aside.

Xu was the first to say angrily, "Why are you sitting down when your identity is unknown?"

When Mei Niang heard this, she immediately stood up and was about to walk over to the maid. Bo Jinxiu jumped up and held Mei Niang down: "Sit down, you have a reason to sit down!"

The old lady had already heard what Qiuju said, so she naturally looked at Mei Niang and said, "Forget it, you are a guest, sit down and talk."

Xu snorted complacently and waited for the old lady's decision.

Shen Yiran rushed to say, "I have also heard about this matter. It is not my place to intervene, but the Marquis repeatedly asked me to take good care of the Marquis's Mansion before he left. I had to come out. For the dignity of the Marquis's Mansion, I hope that the matter will not be made a big deal."

This one sentence stopped Bo Jinxiu's plan to make a big scene.

Shen Yiran could see that when it came to comparing Mei Niang to Xu, Xu had no chance of winning, so he had to order someone else: "Madam, you are exhausted from taking care of Hong'er today. You must not catch a cold. Go get the hand warmer."

Nuandong brought a blanket and a hand warmer so that Xu could sit comfortably.

Shen Yiran did this to let everyone know Xu's identity and the fact that she gave birth to a son.

Bo Jinxiu had always thought that today would definitely lead to a satisfactory result, but Shen Yiran's two sentences seemed to have set the tone for the whole thing.

The old lady nodded, very satisfied with Shen Yiran's arrangement.

Shen Yiran turned to Mei Niang and said, "Miss, this is the first time we meet. Why don't we get to know each other?"

Mei Niang stood up slowly and weakly, lowering her head and saying very sadly: "Mei Niang's family was once an official family, but because of a mistake they were demoted, their family fell into poverty, and I became a singer."

"My life has been withered, and I don't want Brother Xiu to feel sorry for me and give me the home I longed for. Now I don't ask for anything, as long as I don't leave Brother Xiu, I am willing to do anything."

As he said this, he knelt down.

Feeling distressed, Bo Jinxiu stood up and pointed at Mei Niang and said, "Old Madam, she has always been weak, and now she is five months pregnant. The ground is so damp and cold, we can't let her kneel."

Xu snorted coldly and said viciously: "You are pregnant for five months. Are you sure your child is yours? Can a woman singing songs like this guarantee your safety?"

Mei Niang heard this, and with tears in her eyes, she covered her chest and looked at everyone: "I know that my status is not worthy of being with Brother Xiu, but I gave my pure and innocent body to him alone. If this child is not his, then whose will it be?"

As he said that, he fell to the ground, covered his child and cried, "If the Marquis's Mansion doesn't recognize him, it doesn't matter. The child is mine alone. I will leave now and won't bother you anymore."

She struggled to get up and walked out. Bo Jinxiu immediately chased after her and hugged her, protecting her and saying, "Mei Niang and I have been together for a year. This child is definitely mine!"

Shen Yiran had been observing Mei Niang's words and actions. Seeing that she was leaning in Bo Jinxiu's arms and just crying, he sneered in his heart.

The secret had been kept for a year, and the news was only revealed when the child was five months old. It was kept secret like an iron barrel before, and even Shen Yiran was unaware of it. It can be seen that the confidentiality was watertight.

Judging from Bo Jinxiu's plan, he will most likely wait until the child is born and then bring the child home. This is naturally the simplest way.

But it was obvious that Mei Niang didn't want to do that.

The way this news was revealed is also intriguing. If it wasn't Mei Niang herself who leaked it, who else could it be?

Bo Jinxiu seemed to be lustful and fickle towards women, but now he could be controlled by Mei Niang to such an extent. This Mei Niang must be a ruthless character.

Thinking of a woman like this entering the Marquis's Mansion and being with the ruthless Xu, wouldn't there be chaos in the main room?

Shen Yiran glanced at the old lady sideways, and seeing that she was very conflicted and reluctant, he naturally couldn't bear to let the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion flow out into the open.

Xu glared at Mei Niang fiercely: "You keep crying and making it seem like our mansion has bullied you!"

When Mei Niang heard this, she immediately choked up and held back her tears, looking like she didn't dare to cry anymore.

Bo Jinxiu was so angry that he pointed at Xu and said, "You evil woman, I will divorce you now!"

Then he turned around and got a pen and paper!

Xu immediately started crying and pestering the old lady: "Old lady, look at him, he is completely bewitched by that vixen, and he just throws away the love we have had for several years!"

"Why don't you stop? Look at what you have done. Now we have gathered together to help you. And you are still not satisfied. Kneel down!"

Bo Jinxiu threw his hands away and shouted with squinting eyes: "Do you know what this evil woman has done? I will just name a few of them. The Marquis' Mansion will not tolerate her!"

Mei Niang immediately stepped forward and pulled Bo Jinxiu, softly persuading him: "Brother Xiu, don't get excited. Even if my sister has a hundred faults, there is also a good thing. The child is still in the cradle!"

Thinking of Hong'er, Bo Jinxiu became even more determined: "Who knows what will happen to Hong'er if he follows this evil woman? It would be better to divorce her and let you raise him. I will feel more at ease!"

After hearing what Bo Jinxiu said, Shen Yiran thought in his heart that Bo Jinxiu didn't really hate Xu that much, and according to his personality, one wife and one concubine could easily solve the problem, so why did he make such a fuss about it.

I guess this Mei Niang is determined to become the legal wife.

First, the first wife comes in with her children and controls the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion. If she gives birth to a son in the future, it will be another card.

It seems that the future title of Marquis is her ultimate goal.

Shen Yiran reached out and pressed the old lady's hand: "It's too late to make up for the situation now. I think this sister is not in good health. Why don't you clean up a room for her to live in first and discuss it later?"

The old lady rubbed her forehead and waved her hand: "Let's do it this way. Bo Jinxiu, you stay here, and everyone else go down."

Shen Yiran ordered Nuandong and Liangxia to take Mei Niang to stay there. He held Xu's hand and walked out, secretly pinching her arm.

Xu looked up at Shen Yiran and saw him winking at her. She understood what he meant and saw that Mei Niang had already left. She could not make a fuss this time and followed Shen Yiran.
