After Lin Qingpei returned to the Lin Mansion after leaving her job, she felt that she had left too fast last night and felt sorry for Yi Huan, so she thought of having dinner with her to make up for Yi Huan.
He walked into Ningxuan Hall and asked, "Where is your wife?"
"Back to the Second Master, Madam has returned to the Yi family with her two servants and Sister Taohong."
Lin Qingpei frowned and asked, "Why go back to the Yi family?"
The last time Yi Huan returned to the Yi family, it was because he wanted to promote Gu Chuxue as his equal wife. She felt aggrieved, so she went back to her parents' home in anger.
Could it be that he was angry and dissatisfied because he didn't accompany her last night?
Women are always like this, full of tempers, Lin Qingpei thought helplessly.
The maid didn't know what happened to the Yi family, so she hesitated for a long time: "Madam left in a hurry and didn't explain anything."
Lin Qingpei raised her hand to interrupt her and said, "That's all, I'll go to Yi's house personally and pick her up."

After Lin Qingpei arrived at the Yi family, under the guidance of his servants, he hurried to the ancestral hall.
As soon as they arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw Yi Ming being pinned down on the table by Lin Dalin Er, with his hands exposed.
Yi Huan held a sharp knife in his hand.
Yi Ming's broken gong voice quacked like a duck, "Aunt! Aunt, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
"Aunt, don't cut off my hand!" Yi Ming cried and shouted, "I will never gamble again!"
Yi Huan asked: "Every time my sister-in-law redeemed you from the gambling house, you said the same thing. What's the result?"
Her tone was light, but the knife in her hand did not loosen at all. She said: "I think my sister-in-law believes in you too much, Yi Ming."
Yi Ming turned his head when he heard footsteps and saw Lin Qingpei standing at the door of the ancestral hall.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Uncle! Uncle, you are here! Uncle, please help me!" Yi Ming burst into tears!
Lin Qingpei walked into the room, saw this scene, and asked: "Huan'er, what are you doing?"
"Lang Jun, please don't interfere with this matter. This is a family matter of my Yi family. I am disciplining my nephew." Yi Huan said in a cold tone.
Lin Qingpei had never seen her lose her composure like this before. In her impression, Yi Huan always looked weak and well-behaved, and could only secretly blush when she was wronged.
Yi Ming said: "Uncle! I just, I just lost 30,000 taels of silver! You and your aunt can obviously get the money, just pay it back, why would you cut off my hand! I am her nephew. !”
"Aunt, you are so aggressive, be careful that you will offend your uncle!" Yi Ming said to Yi Huan again, squeezing his neck.
Yi Huan smiled. No matter what she was like, Lin Qingpei probably didn't like her, so why should she waste her time trying to maintain the appearance of a lady?
"Hold his hand!" Yi Huan said to Lin Dao.
"yes."
Lin Qingpei stepped forward and said: "Huan'er, why don't we forget it. After all, he is your nephew. If you are short of money, you can come to me."
"That's right, uncle said it! Aunt, please let go of me! Just ask your uncle to redeem all the jewelry and property that grandpa left you!" Yi Ming said anxiously.
"What? Did you become the dowry General Yi left for you?" Lin Qingpei looked at her in shock, "Why didn't you come to me as soon as possible for this kind of thing? I am your husband, and I will always help you. Why did you sell the things left by your father-in-law?"
"Mr. Lang, I've told you before that you don't have to worry about the Yi family's affairs. Whether I sell or keep those property and jewelry stores is my own business."
"Huan'er." Lin Qingpei wanted to say something else.
Yi Huan's head was buzzing, and she decided to chop off Yi Ming's hand with the knife in her hand!
Yi Ming's face turned pale with fright. The moment the cold sharp blade touched him, Yi Ming peed his pants without any hope!
Yi Huan had not slept all night and was not very strong. He only cut a deep wound on the back of his hand, and blood kept flowing out.
Yi Ming screamed in pain.
"Aunt! Aunt! You are so cruel!!!"
Yi Huan said: "If I don't care about you, I will be really cruel. Yi Ming, when will you grow up?"
Yi Huan was once a little girl hiding behind her father and brother. With her father and brother protecting her, she didn't have to think about anything or do anything. But after her father and brother died and she married into the Lin family, everything changed.
Yi Ming's body trembled with pain.
Yi Huan asked him: "Will you still gamble in the future? Will you still gamble?"
Yi Ming shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "No more gambling, no more gambling!"
Yi Huan pulled his hair and forced him to look up. Facing the tablets of his ancestors, she said, "Yi Ming, I want you to swear to your father and grandfather's tablets in front of them!"
While crying, Yi Ming said: "I won't gamble anymore, I swear I won't gamble anymore, wu wu wu... my ancestors will come again, and if I, Yi Ming, gamble again, I will not, not have a good death!"
"Okay, Yi Ming, remember what you said today. I can fish you out once, but I don't have the 30,000 taels to fish you out a second time. If you are detained by the casino again next time, I will let them beat you to death." You! It’s useless no matter who begs me! No one will save you again!"
"Aunt, I was wrong, my hand hurts so much." Yi Ming burst into tears and lay on the table wailing.
"Taoxin, take him to see the doctor." Yi Huan ordered.
"Yes, ma'am."
After Tao Xin and Yi Ming left.
Yi Huan was still tense and clutched the knife in her hand. She looked at Lin Qingpei, smiled slightly and said, "I made my husband laugh today."
For some reason, Lin Qingpei felt uncomfortable seeing Yi Huan like this.
Yi Ming is her nephew, she can be so cruel!
Today she can cut down Yi Ming, and tomorrow she can cut down someone else. Which lady from a wealthy family would cut someone with a knife? Only a street shrew would do that.
It’s just thirty thousand taels of silver, why is it so much?
Lin Qingpei couldn't help but said: "If you need 30,000 taels, you can tell me that although Ming'er is wrong, you won't really cripple his hand, right? If my wife sees it, I will feel much better Uncomfortable."
Yi Huan looked at him calmly.
After being together for a year, this man never thought about her.
"Mr. Lang, do you think I did something wrong today?" Yi Huan asked softly.
Lin Qingpei said: "When you marry and obey your husband, before you do anything, you can discuss it with your husband first."
Yi Huan was silent, she just felt very tired, whether it was Lin Qingpei or everything in the Yi family, they all made her feel tired.
Yi Huan walked out with the knife in hand. The blade was still stained with blood, so Lin Qingpei subconsciously turned aside to avoid it.
"I'm going to see my sister-in-law." She said softly.

After Jin Yuan finished approving the papers, he looked at the urgent report in his hand and listened to the secret guard's report on today's events.
He leaned on the couch, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "What a pitiful little thing. She even pawned her father's relics. Go and redeem her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Yi Sheng is a good general, but he can't teach his son well." Jin Yuan sighed.
Yi Sheng is Yi Huan's elder brother.
"If it were me, if I had a bastard nephew like that, no matter what he did, even if he was beaten to death, my Huan'er still misses the flesh and blood family too much."
Jin Yuan threw the urgent report aside casually, "Poor little girl, let's go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow. General Yi's relics must be returned to her. I think she will be very uncomfortable tonight."
Jin Yuan thought of her tearful eyes and was filled with desire. He wished he could fly to the Lin Mansion right now, hold her in his arms and coax her.
