"Brother Jue, my mother wants to listen to you tell the truth now." Lu looked at Lin Jue quietly and spoke word by word: "Is the child in Yuxue's belly yours?"

Every word she said was inserted into Lin Jue's heart like a sharp blade, making him feel in pain and speechless.

Seeing him silent, Ma's heart was empty in that place as if a cold wind was pouring in.

She didn't know what to use to describe the feeling in her heart at this moment, it was really like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she didn't know what she could do, because her body and mind were no longer under control.

She just wanted to hide in the corner where no one was around and cry.

"No need to ask, I think Zhennanbo Mansion is a scholarly family, and their ladies should be well-educated and wise. Since she said she was her husband's child, it must be!" But Ma could only express her tolerance and generosity on her face. She covered up her inner despair and grief well, and smiled at Lu, "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of this marriage and keep it in order to let Miss Qin marry into the mansion in a glorious manner."

"Minglan..." Lin Jue looked at her in surprise.

"My husband." Ma still kept smiling, "I will be the eldest young lady, you don't have to worry."

Since she has married Lin Jue, she will be his person for the rest of her life.

She cannot embarrass her grandfather, nor can she discredit the Ma family in Yangzhou.

She was born from the Marquis of Jian'an, and she could only be the ghost of the Marquis of Jian'an when she died.

Sadness, resentment, and hatred are of no use. Only by facing it can she live her life smoothly and not let her grandfather worry.

From now on, she will be the eldest grandmother of the Jian'an Marquis Mansion and will no longer be Lin Jue's wife.

After three years of marriage, Lin Jue has been in touch with each other, how could Lin Jue not know what Ma is thinking?

A fear that he had never experienced before came naturally, and he subconsciously grabbed Ma's hand. "Minglan...I, I don't know. I didn't mean it..."

Ma Shi restrained the bitterness in her heart and broke away from Lin Jue's hand, "I haven't stayed there for a few days, I'll go back and clean up the house first."

After saying that, she turned around and left, her steps were rushing, lowered her head and didn't look at the way, but she ran into Lin Zhaoyan who was just here.

"Sister-in-law?" Lin Zhaoyan quickly took a step back and pulled Ma's hand, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." Ma stroked his hair and said hurriedly: "I'll leave first."

"Minglan, stop." Old Mrs. Lin suddenly spoke.

Ma's steps stopped and stood still.

I heard Mrs. Lin calmly but majestic and said: "Don't leave first. Today's matter must be settled. Don't be confused about everything. I have an old friendship with your grandfather, but I don't want him to blame me for not taking care of you, my granddaughter."

Ma's body trembled, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

Old Mrs. Lin continued: "Today I called everyone from each room to ask them to be a testimony. My old lady said this. If the child in Qin Yuxue's belly is really related to Brother Jue, then our Marquis' Mansion in Jian'an will be absolutely right. Marry her into the mansion immediately. Minglan, you are not happy in your heart, and you will live a good life for me in the future and do not make trouble. But if the child in Qin Yuxue's belly has nothing to do with Brother Jue, then I will never tolerate such a confusing of the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, we must seek justice for Brother Jue and Minglan! I will say one thing, and everyone present can testify."

After listening to it, Ma was unable to speak for a long time.

None of the others present spoke. Some of them were shocked by the majesty of Mrs. Lin, and some of them were naturally because of this sudden gossip.

The same is true for Lin Zhaoyan.

On the way she came, she guessed whether it was because of Qin Yuxue's affairs, whether everyone else was deceived like Lu Yanzhi, and believed that the child in Qin Yuxue's belly was Lin Jue's.

But when the facts were in front of her, she was still shocked.

It seems that Zhennanbo Mansion has been prepared for a long time!

Then Old Mrs. Lin must have been deceived, right? Otherwise, with her rigor, how could she invite everyone from each room to testify?

For something uncertain, she didn't need to slap herself in the face like this, not to mention that Mrs. Lin has never been a righteous and kind person.

It is ridiculous to seek justice for the Ma family.

Rather than saying that she is fair and just, it is better to say that she wants Ma to accept this marriage willingly in front of everyone, and to keep her composure and live a good life with Qin Yuxue's two maids. In this way, even if Ma regrets her in the future, there will be people from each room to help her speak for her. Then, if Ma pursues her, she can shirk responsibility and cannot find any mistakes.

Old Mrs. Lin always thinks carefully when doing things and always has a purpose.

"Minglan, do you agree or not?" Old Mrs. Lin asked last.

"Sister-in-law..." Lin Zhaoyan subconsciously grabbed Ma's hand and signaled her not to agree.

But who knew that Ma was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, raised his head, and said firmly: "I agree."

Only then did Lin Zhaoyan realize that her face was covered with tears that were not dry.

Lin Zhaoyan looked at her with heartache.

But she met her eyes, smiled faintly, and used her lips to indicate that she didn't have to worry.

"Grandma, I agree." She turned around and spoke firmly again.

"Very good!" Old Mrs. Lin nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Lin Jue, "A Jue, tell me all the things you did on October 18 last year."

Lin Jue looked at Ma deeply, and his heart was already stormy, but he had to calm down on his face.

It is useless to panic, and he must also think carefully about what happened that day.

He knew in his heart that once it was proved that the child in Qin Yuxue's belly was his, Minglan would never forgive him in his life, but he could not speak against his conscience. After all, the child is innocent.

Lin Jue was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly in everyone's expectant and nervous expressions, "During that period, it was when Minglan's medical skills were hyped up. I always knew that she loved medical skills and never stopped them. However, during that period, she always ignored me, which made me feel uncomfortable, so I drank a few more drinks when my colleagues gathered..."

Lin Jue said, looking at Ma unconsciously.

Ma turned his head and deliberately refused to look at him.

Lin Jue sighed and had to continue, "I remember that Qin Chang, the eldest son of Zhennan Bo Mansion, was also here. When he saw that I was in a bad mood, he came to talk to me. I was not familiar with him on weekdays, but maybe I really drank too much, so he complained to him. He kept comforting me. After a while, his sister, the eldest lady of the Qin family, came to him for something. I remember... Miss Qin seemed very panicked. Later, Qin Chang went out, and I continued to drink alone. After a while, Qin Chang came back. His face became obviously a little serious, as if he was worried, and he didn't listen to me again. Instead, he had to do it with me.

Let’s drink together. In this way, I drank more and more, and in the end I was no longer sane. I heard someone asking Qin Chang to take me back to my house. I followed him out. Later, I met Miss Qin outside the tavern. I heard Qin Chang ask her very sternly why she didn’t leave. Miss Qin seemed to be crying. During the stalemate, I fell asleep and felt in a daze that I was hugged by someone, with a rouge fragrance that seemed to be there. I knew that it was not Qin Chang, but my thoughts were no longer controlled. When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I was in the inn, and I was the only one..."

"So, you don't even know if you have had sex with Miss Qin?" Old Mrs. Lin asked, narrowing her eyes.

"You still need to ask this. It must be a bad thing after drinking. I did something that shouldn't be done!" The second wife's mouth was quick and she immediately responded. After being glared by Lu, she shrunk her neck and kept silent.

Lu pondered for a moment and asked, "Since Master Qin is present, why would he ask Yuxue, a girl, to take you to the inn?"

"I'm drunk, I really can't remember." Lin Jue shook his head and guessed: "About this, Qin Chang left me when he was arguing with Miss Qin, because I remember that he seemed very angry. In my impression, Qin Chang has always been a gentle and gentle young man. He must be extremely angry when he got such a big temper. It is not impossible to do such a thing. Miss Qin doesn't know me at all, so she can only place me in an inn. As for... as for that kind of thing, I really have no impression of it."

"If it didn't happen, it would be impossible for me to get pregnant!" said the second wife again.

This time, even Lu said: "Your grandmother took her own person to take her pulse. She was indeed pregnant for more than three months, and it just coincides with the time. How can such a coincidence happen in this world?!"

"But only the elder brother is drunk, is Miss Qin also drunk? If the elder brother really wants to do something wrong to her, why don't she resist? Even if she can't resist, why don't she ask her elder brother to be responsible after the incident? Even if she is difficult to speak, why don't she say it after she is pregnant? Why should we collude with all the people from Zhennanbo Mansion to deceive us? Since this is the elder brother's child, his waist is very hard!" Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but say.

Liu secretly pulled off her sleeve and signaled her to stop meddling in other people's business.

But Lin Zhaoyan couldn't watch coldly. Ma was very nice to her and Lin Jue was very nice to her. She didn't want to see this couple who could have been loved and unquestionedly destroyed by the villain!

Lu glanced at Lin Zhaoyan who was indignant and said lightly: "That's because Yuxue has always cared about Brother Jue. How could she resist? Afterwards, the women's family always valued face, not to mention that for people like them, she naturally did not dare to say it randomly to avoid being verbal. And she had long since had the idea of ​​being a second wife for Brother Jue. Even if she was not pregnant, the result would not change."
