The play in the theater has all gone through the cutscenes. Although everyone in the hall has different thoughts, they all have smiles on their faces. Then there was singing and dancing in the hall, which was considered peaceful.
As more than a dozen daughters from high-ranking families performed to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, the sixth princess from Pingnan and the third princess from Yeliang also presented their talents, which attracted everyone's applause and praise, and the atmosphere was once again heated.
With bright smiles on their faces, the prince and Chu Chengye frequently toasted to Chu Chengyao. Chu Chengyao also smiled and thanked him, and even complained about Zhou Yuexue in his heart.
The Zhou Mansion at this time.
Since Zhou Yuexue came back from the Lin Mansion, she didn't know if she was frightened. She slept in a daze for two or three days. She was rarely awake when she was awake, and she didn't know anything about the outside world.
At this moment, she woke up faintly, feeling hungry in her belly. Shun'er, crying with joy, hurriedly knocked on the door to ask for food.
Although Zhou Huaili was furious because Zhou Yuexue went to peek at the doctor and was afraid of making the family scandal public, so he locked up the master and servant. However, he was also afraid that Chu Chengyao would be held accountable in the future, so he never treated the two of them harshly. The servants outside the door were honest. According to Shun'er's request, he went to prepare food.
Lin Jinyun, whose official rank was not high enough to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday, wanted to go to the Zhou Mansion to visit Zhou Yuexue, but found that the door of the Zhou Mansion was still closed, so he could only go back to the Lin Mansion to find an idea with the old lady.
While Lin Yanqing was entering the palace, Lin Jinyun pestered the old lady and begged for a long time. Unexpectedly, she did not agree, but instead received a rare cold scolding from the old lady.
Lin Jinyun, who was full of grievances, had just left Songmao Hall when he was pulled into a deserted place by the old lady's little ring in the yard and whispered to her for a while.
Lin Jinyun was shocked to hear that Zhou Yuexue was pregnant. She was surprised and happy at the same time. She ran into Songmao Hall again and told the old lady that she was the biological father of Zhou Yuexue's child. She begged the old lady to propose marriage to him. The old lady was very angry. The wife just said that the family was in trouble and kicked him out again.
Lin Jinyun was so anxious that he didn't care to coax the old lady. He wanted to go home to his father to propose marriage. He thought that his mother didn't like Zhou Yuexue in the first place. He also heard from Xiaohuan that Zhou Yuexue didn't know what she had been doing in Zhou Mansion these days. On any given day, I could no longer care about anything else and ran to the Zhou Mansion to knock on the door.
He looked like he would not leave until he opened the door, and the concierge was so troubled that he had no choice but to report to Zhou Huaili and let him in.
When he entered the house and saw Zhou Huaili, Lin Jinyun explained his intention and promised repeatedly that he would never let Zhou Yuexue down. Zhou Huaili was shocked and turned pale. After asking about the incident, he learned that Zhou Yuexue had had a physical relationship with Lin Jinyun. He was furious. He went directly to Zhou Yuexue.
Opening the door, I saw Zhou Yuexue sitting at the dining table with nourishing stew in front of her. She was so angry that she lifted the table and cursed.
Zhou Yuexue was also scolding. When she learned that Lin Jinyun came to ask for marriage, she panicked and immediately changed her mind and knelt down to beg:
"Dad, my daughter was deceived by her cousin. The top priority is to send him away quickly and seal his mouth. His Highness King Jin must not know about this, otherwise I am afraid that my father will be blamed by His Highness. But if my daughter can marry By entering Prince Jin's Mansion, your status will rise with the tide, why do you need to look at the Lin family's face again?"
Although Zhou Huaili wished he could beat Zhou Yuexue to death, he was still thinking about the benefits that Chu Chengyao had brought. After scolding him, he returned to the front hall and said coldly to Lin Jinyun:
"Yuexue is not pregnant. I have asked her about you. She said she was deceived by you. You are so arrogant. Originally, I wanted to arrest you and see you in court. I only let you go once because of your grandmother. Get out. Don't talk nonsense after that, otherwise not only Yuexue's life will be in danger, but your official career will also come to an end."
