Yao Banxia watched Madam Jin's reaction quietly. She didn't believe that Madam Jin could keep pretending.
Sure enough, Madam Jin pointed at Banxia angrily and cursed: "You are a jinx to your mother, you are trying to instigate the relationship between me and your father as soon as you come back. Tell me what your intentions are."
Tears flowed out of Banxia's eyes in an instant, and she knelt down with a plop: "Banxia just thinks her mother is wonderful, so she says good things about her. She doesn't sow discord between her mother and father."
"You still dare to talk back. If you say one more thing, believe it or not, I will tear you apart right now."
Madam Jin was so angry that she didn't care about her image, and she couldn't hold back her anger in front of Marquis Yao.
Banxia didn't dare to talk back anymore and kept sobbing. That look really made people feel aggrieved.
Marquis Yao roared angrily: "That's enough. The little girl has been saying good things about you from the beginning to the end. She never said even a single bad word about you."
Madam Jin was instantly woken up by Marquis Yao's words. Banxia has put a trap and she fell for it.
Marquis Yao looked at Banxia with distress and said: "Banxia, go back first and remember what your father told you."
Banxia left aggrievedly, but as soon as she went out, her expression turned normal.
She knew that it was not easy to break up the couple after more than ten years of company, but at least there was a gap between them now.
Madam Jin suppressed her temper and said: "Master, I was also afraid that you would be angry, so I misunderstood Banxia."
Marquis Yao sat down, took the tea handed over by Madam Jin, and placed the tea cup firmly on the table.
There was a "bang" sound, which made Madam Jin shiver all over.
Lord Yao's face was dark: "Did you know that Banxia's clothes have become a joke in the entire capital? Tell me what your intentions are?"
Madam Jin said with an aggrieved look: "Master, the clothes I prepared for Banxia were all excellent. How can she blame me if she doesn't know how to match them?"
Lord Yao still felt unhappy: "You have indulged and spoiled Yu Rong's three sons all those years ago, and now you have turned them into a group of good-for-nothing brats."
(TL: I don't know which one is the correct name. In this novel, Banxia's biological mother's name is "Yu Rong", whereas if you read the manhua, you'll find that Banxia's biological mother's name is "Yao Yueshuang". So, in this case, of course, we will follow the original script from the novel)
Madam Jin immediately looked like she had been wronged: "Master, Sister Yurong left early, and I feel sorry for those three children, so I can't bear to criticize them every time they make mistakes."
Marquis Yao snorted coldly. He looked at Madam Jin with suspicion: "Have you not planned for your son, Fushi, to be the one who receive my position as Marquis in the future?"
(TL: You probably confused, in this novel, the name of Qingdai's biological brother is called "FUSHI", whereas if you've ever read the manhua in MangaToon, you'll find out that his name is "XUANCHAN".
At first, I'm also confused, because I thought that "Fushi" here refers to a type of stone that was used as a stone to write or inscribed on. But, in the end, as I read more of the story, I feel like "Fushi" here refers to Qingdai's biological brother's name, who was currently studying at the academy)
Upon hearing this, Madam Jin quickly said: "There are three older brothers on this resident. It's not his turn to be the heir."
"So you spoil those three, the rightful heirs of this resident in the future?"
"Master..." Madam Jin cried instantly, "How can you think of me like this? Fushi will also have three brothers to take care of him in the future, so why should I worry about it?"
Marquis Yao now has no evidence and relies entirely on his own guess.
Seeing Marquis Yao's expression of complete disbelief, Madam Jin immediately swore, "Master, if you don't believe me, I am willing to die and swear an oath, I can also write an official statement and let Fushi saying that he will never fight for the heir position. Master, I was really wronged!"
(TL: As a non-native chinese speaker, I feel a little strange with the name "Fushi", Lols, so I searched and found out that 浮石 [Fúshí] or Pumice Stone, is a type of stone that was used for inscription or writing important things in ancient times. In China, there is also a type of stone, which is also called as Fúshí, and is used as medicine. Because Yao Family is hailed as a "Medical Family", I feel like the last theory is the right one. It's a type of stone that can be made into medicine)
As she said that, Madam Jin banged her head against the wall, looking like she was ready to die.
Lord Yao immediately went to stop her, but Madam Jin did it very realistically in order to make him believe it.
There was so much movement here in this room, that it instantly alarmed many people in the yard.
For a time, all the servants came to persuade them, and it took a long time to calm down the situation.
Everyone can hear clearly that in order to prove her innocence, Madam Jin is willing to die and even write a statement on the Fúshí, saying that she will never covet the position of heir or the tittle of Marquis in the future.
Anyone who listened to those words felt that Madam Jin was wronged.
Marquis Yao finally said helplessly: "Okay, I believe you."
After hearing this, Madam Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still said hypocritically: "I will have people take our son back from the academy and let him write down the statement of not coveting or targetting the legitimate heir."
"Write whatever you want. Do you think it's not embarrassing enough, yet?" Marquis Yao fling his sleeves and left.
Madam Jin finally let go of the big stone in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, you really won't let my brother to fight for the heir position?" Yao Qingdai who couldn't hold back her anger immediately came to Madam Jin and ask her.
Madam Jin was very tired from all the trouble, so she lay down and said, "Silly girl, if we don't let your brother seize the heir position, then all the things mother have done all this time will be in vain."
"Then, mother, why do you still say those things? It's so scary."
Madam Jin said coldly, "It it wasn't for that bitch Banxia, who exposed on how mother has been treating the cheap sons of the death woman, Yu Rong, and afraid that old Madam Qian will spread the rumors and exaggerated them, mother wouldn't say those "oath". Mother could only pretend to not be interested in the heir position in order to clear our name."
After hearing this, Qingdai was very dissatisfied and said: "Mother, have you ever thought that it would be a slap in the face for brother if he fight for the heir position in the future?"
Madam Jin was not worried at all: "What a silly girl. That's only what mother said, and it has nothing to do with your brother. Besides, when all those little bastards whom Yu Rong gave birth to are dead, who do you think will be the heir if not your brother?
When Yao Qingdai heard this, she was shocked: "Mother will make them all die?"
A fierce look flashed in Madam Jin's eyes: "That bastard children of Yu Rong should not live in this world. It's better for all of them to die."
Yao Qingdai instantly became excited when she heard it, and when she thought of the beauty behind Banxia's face, she became extremely jealous.
"Mother is right, they all deserve to die. Living in this world is just a waste of food."

"Bang..." The small door of Banxia's courtyard was kicked open.
Before Banxia could even sit down, she saw the two young masters angrily walking toward her.
"Why do you want to sow discord between your parents?" Cangzhu yelled as soon as he came in.
Because his butt is not healed yet, he can only stand and cannot sit.
Banxia was only as tall as Cangzhu's chest, so she needed to look up when she speak.
Her eyes were slightly cold: "Brother, are you here to question me?"
Liang Jiang had a better attitude: "Mother was about to commit suicide just now, and she also asked the fourth brother to write a document saying that he would never attack the heir or fight for the heir position."
When Banxia heard this, she instantly understood, these two brothers were already got brainwashed by the farce just now.
She looked at the two brothers indifferently and asked, "So?"
"So, don't do anything that will cause our father and mother to misunderstand each other."
Facing with Cangzhu's rebuke, Banxia was not afraid at all, and asked, "Is it me who make our parents misunderstood each other? Third brother, what did I do?"
The two brothers were speechless. Thinking about it carefully, Banxia did not do anything to cause misunderstanding.
Seeing that the two brothers were at a loss for words, Banxia continued to ask: "Did I say a bad thing about mother?"
The two brothers shook their heads in synchronization, indeed she didn't.
"Did I tell father that mother is not good?"
No! The two brothers shook their heads in sync again.
"I praised mother in public for her kindness and compassion. Is it still my fault?"
The two brothers shook their heads in sync for the last time. It seemed that their little sister really had done nothing wrong.
"Then, I'm not sure what my two brothers mean by coming here and question me? Am I, the younger sister, so unworthy of your trust?"
Banxia was obviously very angry when she said this. Are they all straw bags who can't think properly?
