Chapter 108 The Marquis’s Commoner Wife 18
These were all handled by the housekeeper, and Han Yongjin went straight into Shou’an Hall.

The old lady already knew what happened in Wutong Courtyard. At this moment, she covered her heart and looked at her own son with disappointment, “Jin’er, you disappoint me so much. Yingying is your cousin. It’s already unfair for her to be your concubine. How could you…how could you just lay hands on her?

You, you must go and get a doctor for Yingying right now and heal her leg, otherwise, mother will never forgive you!”

“Mother, that night, you deliberately drugged me and let Xiangyun climb into my bed, right? You also deliberately let the maid tell Aunt Zhang, just to make Yan’er disappointed in me, right?
Even a few days before Yan’er got into trouble, you arranged for someone to rob her on the road, but on the night you arranged for the person to do so, something happened in the courtyard where Yan’er lived, so you didn’t have a chance to carry out your plan, right?”

The old lady was shocked and fell into the chair, holding her chest. “You, you…”

How could he know? How could he find out so clearly?
But the next second, the old lady felt relieved again. What if her son knew?
She is his mother!

Can he still send her to the yamen for sentencing?
She stood up angrily, walked towards her own son, pointed her finger at his nose and cursed, “Yes, I did it!

I just don’t like the Ning family. If it weren’t for your tough attitude, I would never allow a country girl to enter the gate of the Marquis’ Mansion. She is just a common girl, she is not worthy of the door of my Marquis’ Mansion!

As a result, you were seduced by such a vixen and lost your mind. Why did I give birth to such a stupid thing like you!
You keep blaming me, but was the baby in Aunt Bai’s belly also born by me?”

“Pa”, the old lady’s face was slapped crooked by Han Yongjin!

The old lady felt dizzy from the pain for a moment. When the pain slowly subsided, she finally came back to her senses. She raised her hand and touched the corner of her mouth. As expected, her fingertips were stained with blood. “You, you evil creature, how dare you hit me? I am your own mother!”

“If you hadn’t been telling me about succession every day, would I have been so obsessed as to look for Aunt Bai?
If you hadn’t insisted on letting Chu Yingying come in, how could Yan’er have lost her fertility?
You should be thankful that you are my mother, otherwise, I will kill you with my own hands today!
From now on, you live your life and I live mine, and don’t get involved in my affairs, or I don’t mind sending you down to accompany my father!”

So what if she is his biological mother? His mother always puts her mother’s family’s affairs first. As long as it is good for her mother’s family, no matter how dissatisfied her son is, she will use her status to force him to complete it.

Whoever wants a mother like this can have her, but he doesn’t want her anyway.

Looking at her son’s back as he walked away, the old lady felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Now she didn’t need to pretend to be sick, because her heart was really hurting, throbbing…

Not only my heart, but the slap was so severe that my head, face, and even neck hurt…

The old lady didn’t understand how she and her son had come to this point.

If the news of her son beating up his own mother got out, not only would her son’s reputation be ruined, but she would also be too ashamed to face anyone.

Until this moment, the old lady still felt that her face was more important than anything else.

“Come, someone.”

When Nanny Feng came in, she noticed something was wrong with the old lady. After all, the five fingerprints were too clear. Thinking of something, Nanny Feng’s pupils constricted instantly. “Old lady, are you feeling unwell? I’ll go call the palace doctor for you…”

“No, don’t go… Go get me a glass of water and a towel… Don’t let anyone know that I’m sick.”

Nanny Feng thought that what happened today really couldn’t be spread out, so she had to agree.

The old lady fell asleep after taking the medicine, and when she woke up, she was collapsed on the bed.

Originally, the old lady’s health was not that bad. Ning Yan gave her medicine when she served tea on the first day after entering the mansion. The medicine was not very effective and the dosage was small. After taking it, it only made people irritable. In layman’s terms, she was easily angry and could get angry at the slightest provocation. The doctor couldn’t tell the difference even after taking her pulse.

People with extreme mood swings are prone to illness. With the help of the Marquis of Zhennan, the old lady became paralyzed.

Of course, if Ning Yan knew, she would be happier.

Ning Yan had been on guard against Chu Yingying for a long time. She didn’t care that Han Yongjin had other women. Everyone had to rely on their own abilities. Whoever got it first would own it. As long as you don’t fall into my hands, it’s fine.

But Chu Yingying is different.

In the previous life, she and the old lady teamed up to kill the original owner.

So when Chu Yingying pretended to be poisoned that night, she smeared medicine on the edge of the teacup. As long as she had sex with a man, she would get pregnant, but the child would be miscarried. Even if the pregnancy was preserved early, there would still be two deaths when the time came for delivery.

Unfortunately, this move was not used, and the Marquis of Zhennan never touched her from beginning to end.

As for other people, she doesn’t care and lets them do whatever they want.

……

Yangzhou.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the river water is as green as blue.

I saw a luxurious ship sailing westward against the wind and waves. On the ship, a beautiful woman stood at the bow. The river breeze blew her hair on her forehead and her skirt lifted slightly, as if she was going to sail away with the wind.

“Yan’er, the wind is strong at the bow, why don’t you go in and rest for a while.”

The man in green took a step forward and whispered in Ning Yan’s ear, his tone even more ambiguous. The man in purple was not to be outdone, and draped the clothes in his hand over Ning Yan, “Yan’er likes to see the scenery on both sides of the river, so just put on one more piece of clothing. I’ll make a bowl of soup for Yan’er later to drive away the cold.”

The maid standing in the distance: Here they come again, the two gentlemen are about to start their daily battle for favor, my master’s damn charm~
The master the maid was referring to was naturally Ning Yan, who changed her name to Mo Yan.

Qiu Sheng also changed her name to Ning Lan, and their identities remained master and servant.

When Ning Yan was preparing to escape, she had no intention of taking Qiu Sheng with her, but this girl was too smart and she quickly realized Ning Yan’s intention.

She is different from Dong Xiao. Dong Xiao still has a family, and if she fakes her death, she will never be able to go back in this life. But Qiu Sheng is an orphan, and she can’t stand seeing those people in the mansion scheming against each other, so she yearns for freedom even more.

Seeing that his wife was about to leave, he expressed his feelings to Ning Yan.

Ning Yan asked her elder brother to prepare another female corpse of similar height for her.

This thing is easy to find. After all, there are many dead bodies thrown there every day.

She was afraid that the news of her death would cause her family to go to the Marquis’ Mansion and fight with Marquis Zhennan. She was also afraid that her parents would be too sad about her death and have an accident. Finally, she decided to tell her parents and three brothers.

Ning Yan asked them to rehearse for several days in advance, and they did nothing but cry.

If you can’t cry, just hang your head and keep silent. Make your hair and clothes a little messy, and you will look haggard.

Ning’s father and mother even deliberately didn’t eat well for a few days, and starved away the fat they had gained after moving to the city. They also smeared some of the stuff their daughter had specially found on their faces, and they looked like they were ten years older.

The four masters at home acted well, and the Marquis of Zhennan really didn’t notice anything wrong.

Now, they came to Yangzhou. Ning Yan originally dressed as a man and walked around, but she was easily exposed. The two people around her even entangled her directly.

……

It was four years later that Ning Yan heard news about Zhennan Marquis again.

Marquis Zhennan never thought that Ning Yan would fake her death to escape. He really thought that Ning Yan died in the fire.

I just felt sorry for her, so I helped the Ning family a lot.

After giving birth to a son for him, Aunt Bai died of hemorrhage.

Within two years, the Chu family ran into trouble. Chu’s father embezzled a huge amount of money and the whole family was exiled.

Marquis Zhennan went specially to report to the old lady.

“Your family was exiled by their entire family. You care so much about them, why don’t you go into exile with them so you don’t have to worry about them all the time.”

The old lady raised the only hand that could still move and pointed at her son’s nose: “You, you, you…”

“What? Do you want to beat me? Or do you want me to go to the Emperor and beg for mercy?
What are you dreaming about? I was the one who handed over the evidence of my uncle’s crime!

I only regret that I did it too late. If I had done it a few years earlier, my wife wouldn’t have gotten into trouble.

Now that the entire Chu family has been exiled, is mother particularly happy?

How can you lie down when you are so happy? Come on, let’s get up and celebrate together. I bought a lot of fireworks. We will have a banquet in the mansion tonight and then set off fireworks together.”

He was not joking, he really picked up the old lady, put her on a chair, and asked the maids to carry her around the yard.

The maids were trembling with fear, and all of them had the same thought in their minds: The Marquis has gone crazy!

On this day, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion set off fireworks all night long!
The old lady fainted several times due to anger, and was awakened each time by Han Yongjin pinching her philtrum. When she was sent back to the bedroom, her philtrum was pinched so much that the tender flesh was exposed and covered in purple bruises.

The servants confirmed once again that the Marquis was crazy!

Driven crazy by the death of my lady!
Five years after Ning Yan faked her death, the old lady passed away.

Marquis Zhennan simply held the old lady’s funeral and buried her.

After the old lady died, he directly dealt with Chu Yingying who was paralyzed in bed.

She must be happy to be strangled to death by her beloved cousin, right?
