After hearing this, Wei Yueru suddenly became excited and raised her voice, "You are lying!"

Jiang Wan was frightened.

She backed away using her hands and feet, shrinking into the corner. "I, I, I really just wanted to piss you off at first, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Xianglan hid behind a heavy curtain, and with a turn of her eyes, she said cunningly, "If you and the midwife hadn't colluded with each other, how could I have a difficult delivery?"

"I……"

"Go play with your son."

"No!" Jiang Wan shouted until his throat was hoarse. This time he did not hesitate at all. He even spoke so fast that it burned his mouth: "It's me, it's me! I was blinded by greed and I have lost all conscience."

She was Han Sui's distant cousin and originally wanted to marry Han Sui.

But at that time, Han Sui had already married Wei Yueru, the daughter of a marquis.

The other person's background, appearance, and talent are all better than hers. How could she not be jealous?

The only thing that could comfort her was that Han Sui's heart was on her at that time and he had neglected Wei Yueru for a long time.

That day, Han Sui's maternal grandparents received a death notice, and he and his parents rushed to attend the funeral.

Because Wei Yueru was already pregnant and was afraid that the constant traveling might cause miscarriage, they kept her at home and asked her to take care of her.

How could she possibly take good care of the other person!

All the good things she usually does are just pretend.

Wei Yueru knew the situation clearly, but no one in that family believed her.

As usual, they had another argument. Han Sui and his parents were not around, so Jiang Wan had no need to pretend. She completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy and ridiculed Wei Yueru severely.

When she got excited, she pushed her.

In no mood!

Just that one hit caused her to bump into the corner of the table and she gave birth prematurely!

So far, everything is just an accident.

While waiting for the midwife to arrive, she stood outside the delivery room, listening to Wei Yueru's painful moans, and suddenly a horrifying thought popped into her mind.

Get rid of the mother and keep the child!

At first, Han Sui approached Wei Yueru because of her status as the daughter of a marquisate, and wanted to use the power of the marquisate to secure a good future for himself.

Who would have thought that the young lady actually believed the lies he said when he proposed to her. After marrying him, she refused to ask for help from her parents' family no matter what, and even said that she was not afraid of living a hard life with him.

But if she asked her natal family for help and used their power to support Han Sui, it would prove that her choice that day was wrong.

but--

If Wei Yueru died, the Marquis' Mansion would have to treat the Han family well in order to prevent the child from having a hard life. Wouldn't everyone be happy?

So she gave the midwife some silver and told her to keep the younger one and give up the older one!

Jiang Wan didn't know whether he was regretful or afraid, tears flowed all over his face, and he choked up and said, "I, I know I am sorry for you, but even if I didn't do that, the Han family, the Han family will never tolerate you!"

"If you want to get close to the Marquis's Mansion, the child will be a more useful chess piece than you. You are already a stumbling block to Han Sui."

"You, you, your fate is like this... Don't blame me, don't blame me..."

Jiang Wan hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, muttering to himself like a madman.

Wei Yueru looked calm, as if she already knew everything she said and was not curious at all. She just insisted, "Child, I only want the child, my child..."

"I really didn't mean to harm your son!" Jiang Wan was very excited. "The midwife said that your fetus was in an abnormal position and it was a difficult birth. She didn't need to do anything else. You would have died."

Wei Yueru pretended not to hear and continued to mutter: "Child, child..."

"I was so scared at the time that I immediately had your bodies thrown into a mass grave."

However, after Han Sui came back, he was worried that he would not be able to explain to the Marquis' Mansion, so he ordered people to go to the mass grave to transport her body back. But for some reason, the child was missing!

Just at that moment, people from the Marquis' Mansion arrived.

If the news got back, they would surely be killed. In order to save their lives, they adopted a daughter born by a barbarian and lied that it was the child that Wei Yueru gave birth to at the risk of her life.

Only with this child can they have a chance of survival.

But what they didn't expect was that the person sent by Madam Wei was too smart. He did not believe their one-sided words, but investigated openly and secretly and found the midwife.

There was no other choice but to kill all those who might have leaked the information.

Han Sui asked someone to imitate the man's handwriting and sent a letter to the marquis's mansion.

"Han Sui was afraid that the child would grow up to look neither like him nor like you, and people would suspect him, so he emphasized in the letter that the child had a cinnabar mole on his wrist that was exactly the same as yours."

"The lie got bigger and bigger, and more and more lives were involved. I was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so I hurried back home. What happened afterwards had nothing to do with me."

"Why on earth did your son disappear into the mass grave? I really don't know!"

It might have been taken away and eaten by wild wolves or dogs.

But Jiang Wan didn't dare to say such words.

What if the other party is provoked and comes to seek revenge on her son?

"I really know I was wrong. Over the years, every Ghost Festival or your death anniversary, I would burn paper for you and the child. I beg you, please rest in peace."

"I had bad intentions, but I didn't put them into action. It was you who failed to keep the child."

"I was just so angry that I pushed you, but you couldn't even stand steadily..."

Wei Yueru listened with no special expression on her face, but the words she said made Jiang Wan stunned.

She almost gnashed her teeth and said, "You really don't want Bilian!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and threw the swaddling clothes in her arms towards her!

"what--"

Thinking that the child was going to die, Jiang Wan's scream was suddenly choked in her throat. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted completely.

Seeing this, "Wei Yueru" stepped forward to feel her breath, and when she spoke, it was a man's voice: "Fainted."

After saying that, several figures were seen walking out from behind the dark curtain one after another.

The first one to rush out was Marquis Wu'an.

He raised his fist and looked like he was going to take Jiang Wan's life!

At the critical moment, it was the Marquis who stopped him and ordered the guards, "Take the man away first."

Upon hearing this, without waiting for the guards in the marquis's mansion to take action, Chu Si took out a sack and put the person in it. Just like when he came, he carried the person on his back and walked out of the house.

Shen Qiyin said to Sanwa, who was dressed as Wei Yueru, "Change your clothes first."

Last night she asked Chusi to dress up as Shen Guangzong in order to see whether Jiang Wan believed in ghosts and gods, and whether he would tell the truth about the bad things he had done.

If she could even deceive ghosts, then there would be no need for her to make such a fuss.

Fortunately, she is not as powerful as she thinks.

However, Xianglan made her look at her with even greater respect.

She had not originally planned to bring her to the Marquis' Mansion, but after the latter learned about this, she volunteered to trick Jiang Wan into talking.

She said, "Miss, you don't know, I used to be a slave. Who has ever treated me as a human being? So I have experience in being a ghost."

"If a ghost wants to know something, you can't just ask her. You have to rely on her temperament to scare her into telling you on her own initiative!"

Now it seems that she is quite successful in being a ghost.

Shen Qiyin poured her a cup of tea: "Moisten your throat."

"Hey, thanks, Miss!"

Except for Madam Wei, all the other people in charge of the Marquis' Mansion were present today.

Shen Qiyin thought that she was an elderly person after all, and she was not sure what truth would come out of Jiang Wan's mouth. She was afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear it, so she kept it from her for the time being.

As for whether or not to tell and how to tell afterwards, it depends on the Marquis's intention.

At this time, Ruan Xinghu suddenly spoke up: "The man just now said that the Han family mentioned in the letter that the child had a red mole on his wrist. I guess they have a way to fake it."

"But when grandma rushed to the Han family, the baby's body was not found. Why?"

Shen Qiyin was not sure about this.

She shook her head and said, "Maybe the mole was already painted, but for some reason the color faded, or maybe they didn't have time to do it at all and it caught fire."

After all, many years have passed and the people involved are no longer around. She can only try her best to restore the general outline of the incident, but she is really powerless to reveal the details.

Hearing this, Wei Xuan couldn't help but sneered: "Tsk, after all this fuss, you still haven't figured it out? It's a waste of effort!"

Shen Qiyin: "Your Highness, it's not hard for you to make sarcastic remarks. I need to learn more from you."

"you……"

Before Wei Xuan could say something else, Marquis Wu'an suddenly kicked him!

"Shut that hole under your nose!"

"father?"

"Don't call me dad! Don't take me with you if you're stupid!" Wu Anhou was already full of anger, but he came up at this time: "You can be brainless, but you can't be heartless, right?"

The little girl has been busy running around to comfort the old lady. Not to mention that she has found out so many things now, even if she had found nothing, they could only express their gratitude.

Wei Xuan understood what Marquis Wu'an meant, but he still couldn't help but retort, "Dad, we must be on guard against others. How do you know that she did so much just for grandma?"

"I think she did it for her junior fellow apprentice!"

"Maybe this is a trick they set up so that they can pretend to be my aunt's child and enjoy wealth and glory."

Sanwa came back after changing her clothes and tying her hair, and just happened to hear these words.

He stood in the shadows, out of reach of the candlelight.

Cold and lonely.

Although he didn't say a word, one could inexplicably feel that everyone was sorry for him.

Marquis Wu'an already blamed himself for Wei Yueru's death, always thinking that it was because of his failure as a brother to protect her that she lost her life.

Sanwa’s face looks exactly like Wei Yueru’s!

Now that he saw him, he not only felt the love of an uncle for his nephew, but also projected all his guilt towards his sister onto him. He could not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him.

Even if that person is his biological son.

Therefore, he hurried forward to touch Sanwa's head and comforted him, "Listen to your uncle, this is your home, from now on you are the son of my mansion, don't listen to your cousin's fart."

"By the way, from now on we can talk about our own things. You can call me uncle. He can call you whatever he wants. If he's really annoying, just pretend he doesn't exist."

Wei Xuan was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Finally, it was the Marquis's wife who came out to smooth things over, saying, "Ah Xuan, I know you don't want your grandmother to be too happy for nothing, but think about it carefully. The news brought by the miracle doctor was all brought back by the Thousand Eagle Guards. How could it be false?"

"And the tomb robber, he and Jiang Wan didn't know each other, but their stories matched. If he said he was instigated by someone, how could he lie after entering a place like the Eagle Nest?"

"Not to mention, what is the relationship between Hanyu and our family? How can this be a joke!"

Every word Mrs. Hou said hit the nail on the head, and Wei Xuan had always respected her, so he finally shut up and stopped "embarrassing himself".

In the end, Marquis Wu'an decided to tell Madam Wei the truth.

Naturally, they wanted to avenge Wei Yueru.

But if Jiang Wan was killed with just one blow, it might bring trouble to Shen Qiyin.

So let her take the person back for the time being.

Shen Qiyin didn't say anything either.

Because of this person, she wants to keep him for her junior brother!

At the same time, there was another important matter for the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, which was to let Sanwa return to his ancestral home.

The marquis's mansion held a grand banquet and announced to the world that they had found their cousin who had been living away from home for many years.

His surname is Wei and his given name is just a single character “Zhao”.

Jin Zhao Yu Cui means as bright and beautiful as gold and jade.

It was given by Old Madam Wei.

The old lady was overjoyed that she finally recognized her grandson as she wished. At Shen Nianyin's reminder, she decided to go to Lingyan Temple outside the city to burn incense and fulfill her wish soon.

Shen Qiyin overheard the news when he was giving acupuncture to Wei Heng.

She thought for a moment and asked Wei Heng, "Is everyone going?"

"Except for me and Dad, everyone else will go." Seeing Shen Qiyin's thoughtful expression, he thought she just wanted to go, so he said, "A Zhao will go too if he wants to, you can go with him."

"……Um."

Since Shen Nianyin is going, then I must go too!

She had thought about it before, how Shen Nianyin's fake pregnancy would end.

Until one day, when Xianglan was reading a storybook, she accidentally sighed: "If a woman is smart enough, she will know that a man's pity and guilt are enough to allow her to gain a foothold in the backyard."

She was instantly enlightened after hearing this!

Just like Jiang Wan blamed her miscarriage on Shen Guangzong, Shen Nianyin would most likely blame Wei Xuan for the loss of her child.

In this way, she became a victim.

If Shen Nianyin performed the "beauty saves the hero" drama again like she did when she married Wei Xuan, then her weight in Wei Xuan's heart and her status in the Marquis' Mansion would be difficult to shake in the future.

There was no way she could have her way.

She came back in this life just to cause trouble for others.

Shen Qiyin rushed to Lingyan Temple before them. On the way, Xianglan asked her, "Miss, what good will today's incident bring to us?"

She said firmly: "When others don't benefit, that's the benefit I get."

Xianglan nodded with admiration.

Then, while eating snacks, he muttered to himself: "As expected of an ancient man, his mental state is hundreds of years ahead of me..."
