FSC [QT] Chapter 92.1

“Yu Tongsheng and Mrs. Yu are dead?”

Nanny Liu did not expect to hear such shocking news, which made her forget to control her expression for a moment.

Mrs. Yu and her husband are dead, so what about the child they took away that year?

In fact, this was not the first family they found, but the last family known among all the clues.

This matter had to start with the complicated relationship in the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion.

Nanny Liu was born in the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion.

The first Old Marquis of Changping’s Mansion was a meritorious official who accompanied the ancestor to conquer the world.

When the Li Dynasty was first established, the rebels of the previous dynasty ambushed and attacked the ancestor while he was hunting.

In order to save the Emperor, the Old Marquis risked his life to save him. In the end, the ancestor survived, but the Old Marquis died due to serious injuries.

Compared with the founding heroes who were liquidated for various reasons in the later period, the Old Marquis died early and died to save the Emperor, so his widow and children were particularly favored by the ancestors, and as an exception, the title of Marquis of Changping was hereditary for three generations.

The current head of the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion is Ling Yaodong, the eldest grandson of the Old Marquis of Changping. However, because the late Marquis of Changping’s wife is still alive, the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion has not been divided yet.

Now living in the Marquis’s Mansion are the Old Madam, the current head of the Marquis of Changping’s family, and the Marquis of Changping’s legitimate brother Ling Yaokang and his illegitimate brother Ling Yaoping.

The current Marquis of Changping is the third-generation heir of the Ling family. The heir to the title will be demoted from the Marquis of Changping to the Earl of Changping.

Don’t underestimate the title of Earl of Changping. It is enough to make a group of people in the mansion covetous.

The wife of the late Marquis of Changping, Old Mrs. Wu, is the stepmother of the current Marquis of Changping.

The Second Young Master of the Marquis of Changping’s mansion is the son of the Old Mrs. Wu. Although he was also a legitimate son, he missed the position of the heir because he was  the son of the stepmother and the second legitimate son.

Old Mrs. Wu was not a good person who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures. On the contrary, she had coveted the title of Marquis of Changping for a long time.

However, the late Marquis Marquis of Changping was not a foolish man. Even though he doted on his later wife, he never thought of deposing his eldest son and making his second son the heir.

The first branch of the Marquis’s mansion is now the head of the household, but relying on her status as an elder, Old Mrs. Wu has been dragging on and not dividing the family.

Over the years, she has joined forces with the second branch to make the mansion a mess.

The third branch, who was born out of wedlock, now seems to be very cautious, but others didn’t know if he was really honest or just pretending to be.

This farce was inseparable from Old Mrs. Wu.

Eleven years ago, Ling Yaodong, who was still the heir of the Marquis of Changping, was sent to Jiangzhou to be the county magistrate.

At that time, the heir’s wife, Mrs. Fan, was seven months pregnant. She accompanied Ling Yaodong to the Wenquxing Temple to burn incense on the eve of the imperial examination.

Who would have known that Jiangzhou, which should have been peaceful, was suddenly invaded by a group of roving bandits and went straight to the Wenquxing Temple?

Mrs. Fan was so frightened that her fetus moved on the spot. At this time, Ling Yaodong was killing enemies outside the temple. There were only a few guards and servants around Mrs. Fan.

Coincidentally, there were five pregnant women in total who came to the temple that day. Some of them came with their husbands to worship, while others came alone.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too tense and depressing, so all five pregnant women‘s stomachs moved at the same time.

Although Ling Yaodong and his guards were outside the temple to resist, some bandits still slipped through the net and sneaked into the courtyard. They were beaten and killed by the Taoists and pilgrims in the temple, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

The Wenquxing Temple was not big to begin with, and there were only a few clean rooms that could accommodate five pregnant women.

They were forced to move into two relatively clean large bunk rooms where the Taoists lived and relied on the women who knew how to deliver babies or had given birth before to help with the delivery.

It was extremely chaotic at the time, and the maids around Mrs. Fan were already scared silly. Many of them could not even remember what happened that day.

That day, Ling Yaodong was injured, and Mrs. Fan gave birth to a daughter prematurely in the seventh month.
