Nie Zhan found someone quite capable, who quickly uncovered the background of that family tutor. Upon learning why that person sought revenge against the Nie family, Lu Jiaxin was speechless.
It turned out that the tutor's sister was once Qin Jingguo's (Nie Jingwen's father) mistress. The woman got pregnant, since Qin Jingguo married into the family, so the children Nie Manli bore carried the Nie surname. He wanted a child with his own surname, so he hid the woman away.
Old Master Nie was not at ease with this son-in-law and planted a spy by Qin Jingguo's side. When the woman was over seven months pregnant, the spy discovered something amiss, and this matter reached Old Master Nie.
At the time, Old Master Nie was furious and demanded Nie Manli divorce Qin Jingguo. Anyway, there were already three grandchildren, and Qin Jingguo had no use staying.
