Chapter 631 This Is the Little Bastard That Dead Man Raised Outside!

**Chapter 631: That’s the bastard child the dead man kept hidden!**

Xingxing felt a bit awkward under Lady Qishan Bo’s overbearing friendliness.

“It’s about the girls’ school,” Xingxing said. “My sister’s daughter studies at the one your family runs. As you know, Lady Qishan Bo, running a girls’ school isn’t easy. My niece is devoted to her studies, but she had a small conflict with that girl earlier. The teacher already sorted it out. But the girl’s parents won’t let it go and even want to kick my niece out of the school. I was hoping you could help.”

Lady Qishan Bo caught on immediately. “How could this be? Kids are bound to have disagreements—it’s normal. Rest assured, Township Lady, this won’t happen!”

Xingxing bowed. “Thank you for your help, Lady Qishan Bo.”

Seeing how polite Xingxing was, Lady Qishan Bo was thrilled. This was like receiving a favor—she could feel it!

The Lady of Blessed Peace was best known for her medical skills.

Lucky and highly skilled, she had long been someone Lady Qishan Bo wanted to get close to—she had even hoped to invite her to the manor to check on her daughter-in-law. But before they could get closer, someone slandered the Lady of Blessed Peace, and she stopped seeing patients out of anger.

With no choice, Lady Qishan Bo had brought in several famous doctors from the capital to treat her eldest daughter-in-law, but none had worked.

Now, wasn’t this a golden opportunity?

Her heart raced with excitement. “Township Lady, you’re too kind. Actually, there’s something I’d like to humbly ask of you as well.”

Xingxing nodded. “Please go ahead, Lady Qishan Bo.”

Lady Qishan Bo was almost on the verge of tears. “Ah, Township Lady, my eldest daughter-in-law has been married in for two years now, but she hasn’t gotten pregnant. I had no choice but to stop giving the concubines their birth-control herbs. Sure enough, one of them got pregnant within two months—but sadly, she lost the baby… I thought to myself, our family is a respectable one. It’s only right that the first grandson come from the daughter-in-law—that’s proper.”

Xingxing had heard something about the Qishan Bo household before.

It wasn’t just random gossip—the eldest daughter-in-law was the daughter of a former student from Cen Yueyi’s maternal grandfather’s family. The connections were tangled.

And now Lady Qishan Bo was talking about being a respectable family and how the first grandson should come from the daughter-in-law—not because of anything else, but because the daughter-in-law’s father had recently arrived in the capital and now had backing.

In truth, Xingxing had come today partly for this very reason. The eldest daughter-in-law had gone through her father, who then went through Cen Yueyi, to reach Xingxing. Yes, Xingxing had already planned to make time to examine her.

So when Lady Qishan Bo brought it up herself, everything worked out perfectly.

Xingxing naturally agreed.

Lady Qishan Bo was delighted beyond words.

Xingxing glanced outside. “No time like the present! Since I’m free today and it’s still early, why don’t I come to your manor now and examine your daughter-in-law?”

Lady Qishan Bo was even more pleased. “Wonderful! Thank you so much, Township Lady!”

Xingxing gave An Ningxin a few quick instructions and left with Lady Qishan Bo.

Before leaving, Lady Qishan Bo didn’t forget to bring Hao Yingying along.

Hao Yingying had inhaled the sedative. Being young and not yet splashed with water to wake her, she was still asleep.

But there was no need to look up the address. Her maid recognized the Hao residence and had the carriage head straight there.

Inside the carriage sat Lady Qishan Bo and Xingxing, while the maid held the unconscious Hao Yingying.

When they arrived, the maid knocked on the door.

The doorkeeper asked what was going on, and the maid rudely shoved Hao Yingying into his arms. “Your master’s been arrested. Isn’t this your young miss? Our Lady Qishan Bo was kind enough to bring her back for you.”

The doorkeeper nearly dropped Hao Yingying in shock! “What kind of madwoman are you?! Stop talking crazy!” He shoved Hao Yingying back into the maid’s arms. “We only have two sons here—there’s no young miss in this house!”

The old nurse wondered if she’d misremembered and stumbled back, bewildered, glancing up at the Hao family’s plaque: "...Your master is named Hao Fu, right?"

The doorkeeper eyed her warily. "Our master is a well-known wealthy merchant. Knowing his name doesn’t mean squat! You can’t just dump some kid on us and say she’s our young miss!"

He grew impatient and barked, "Beat it, scammer!"

This nurse was a servant of the Bo household and had never been treated with such disrespect before. She spat back, "You lowly, judgmental wretch! This granny serves the Qishan Bo household! Your master licks our boots just to get his gifts accepted—so who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like this?"

Realizing he had made a mistake, the doorkeeper took another look and noticed that the nurse’s attire was indeed far from ordinary. He bolted back inside to report to his master.

Seething, the nurse hauled Hao Yingying back and recounted everything to Lady Qishan Bo inside the carriage.

Lady Qishan Bo felt utterly humiliated.

After all, the Lady of Blessed Peace had only asked her for small favors—things easily done. Meanwhile, she herself had shamelessly begged the Lady of Blessed Peace to examine and treat her daughter-in-law.

If she couldn’t even manage this trivial task, she’d be mortified!

Lady Qishan Bo turned to Xingxing and said, "My lady, please wait in the carriage a little longer. I’ll go down and speak to the Hao family myself."

With that, she swept out of the carriage, furious.

Soon, the gates of the Hao residence swung open, and out stepped a plump woman dripping with gold and jewels.

The woman recognized Lady Qishan Bo at once and gushed with shocked delight. "Lady Qishan Bo? What brings you to our humble home today?"

Without hesitation, she turned and slapped the doorkeeper across the face. "Blind fool! How dare you stop Lady Qishan Bo!"

After berating him, she quickly pasted on an ingratiating smile and gestured for Lady Qishan Bo to enter. "Please don’t be angry, my lady. I’ll have this man punished with twenty cane strikes later. Please, come inside!"

Lady Qishan Bo waved her off impatiently. "Enough. Just take the damn girl already. I have other matters to attend to."

The woman froze, glancing at the girl in the nurse’s arms and pasting on a strained smile. "...My lady, I’m afraid I don’t understand. Who is this little girl?"

Seeing that the woman truly didn’t recognize the child, Lady Qishan Bo frowned deeply. "You truly don’t know her?"

The woman nodded repeatedly. "How would I dare lie to you?"

Only then did Lady Qishan Bo realize the truth, her brow furrowing further. "...Hao Fu brought this little girl, along with another woman, to cause trouble at someone else’s home."

The woman immediately understood, trembling with fury. "Ah, I see! So this is that good-for-nothing’s lovechild from on the side!"
