Since then, Yi Huan never waited for him at dinner, nor asked him what he wanted.
It was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him pampering Chuxue.
If General Yi hadn't left him alone on his deathbed, he thought he would never have anything to do with Yi Huan in his life. The person he wanted to marry was also Gu Chuxue. He and Gu Chuxue had been friends since they were young. She had committed herself to him when she was young and she was his. The first woman.
He agreed to General Yi's dying instructions and allowed Yi Huan to settle down in the Lin Mansion, thus fulfilling his promise to General Yi.
Lin Qingpei didn't care whether she was living a good life or how much hardship she had suffered.
He understands the temperament of his mother and Chu Xue. After all, they are just petty fights that won't lead to any lives.
The only thing Lin Qingpei didn't expect was that His Majesty would get involved in his family affairs and make him lose such a big face in the capital. All the dignitaries knew that Lin Qingpei had been suspended by His Majesty for doting on his concubines and killing his wife.
Lin Qingpei resented Yi Huan, but her mother was right. At this moment, inviting Yi Huan back to the Lin Mansion and reinstating him to his original position was the top priority.
"This slave has met the second master."
Taoxin's voice interrupted Lin Qingping's thoughts.
Lin Qingpei turned around, saw it was her, smiled gently at her, and asked, "But Huan'er is back?"
Tao Xin said, "Second Master, please wait for a moment. Madam will be here shortly."
Lin Qingpei is willing to show shame in order to achieve his goal.
He said: "Taoxin, that day when you came to Nanying to find me, I took it for granted, which is why Huan'er suffered. After thinking about it for a few days at home, I already understood where I went wrong. I'm sorry. Taoxin, I am here to apologize to you, and I hope you will not take what I said that day to heart."
Tao Xin looked at him in surprise. Lin Qingpei became famous at a young age and was the first martial arts champion after passing the martial arts examination. He was naturally full of arrogance. But now, such a person actually took the initiative to apologize to her for their wife.
Tao Xin said: "The past has passed. There is no need for Second Master to talk about it anymore. As for whether Madam will forgive you, it depends on Madam herself."
Lin Qingpei nodded and said, "You are a sensible person. Ever since Da Huan'er married into the Lin family, it's thanks to having you by her side."
"But this servant is a servant and cannot protect my wife. Second Master, the only one in the entire Lin family who can protect my wife is you." Tao Xin's eyes turned red when she thought of what happened that day, and she turned her head away and said, "If even you If you don’t pay attention to Madam, she will really not be able to survive.”
"I understand that this visit is not only for my career, but also to make up for Huan'er."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a white silhouette came into view.
Yi Huan took off her precious sparrow-gold fur, took off the dragon-coiled jade pendant on her waist, put on a collar around her neck to cover the bright red hickeys underneath, and sprinkled orchid scented powder on her body.
When Yi Huan walked over, the faint fragrance of orchids hit her face.
Lin Qingpei hasn't seen Yi Huan for a while. In the past, she thought Yi Huan was dull and boring, and like most ordinary women, he didn't know the taste.
When I took a look today, I saw a pair of watery eyes under her thin willow-leaf eyebrows, with a sense of softness when she looked up at people.
His wife is not dull, at least her eyes are very charming.
"Huan'er."
Lin Qingpei stepped forward quickly.
Yi Huan bowed to him and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."
A smile appeared on Lin Qingpei's face, and he quickly supported her body and said, "You have waited for me so many times before, so what if I wait for you once?"
It turned out that she also knew that she had been waiting for him all night.
Yi Huan thought about it, and she pushed those golden fur and dragon jade pendants to the bottom of the box, fearing that they would never see the light of day again.
She is the second wife of the Lin Mansion. Lin Qingpei does not love her. She must hold on to what she can hold in her hands. She must take advantage of this opportunity to let herself have unimpeded access to the Lin Mansion from now on. At least she will no longer be in any situation. A vase for concubines to humiliate at will.
The corners of Yi Huan's lips raised slightly and she said, "I have waited for you so many times, but you never come. You only waited for me once, and then I came to see you. It's so unfair."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her words, which was not annoying at all.
Lin Qingpei's heart softened, and he said: "Let me wait for you every day from now on, okay? You are not in Lin Mansion these days, and I stay in Ningxuan Hall every day. I want to experience the life you once lived." "
"The tables and chairs in Ningxuan Hall are all old, so I specially asked them to replace them with new ones. They are the best golden nanmu. You like osmanthus, and I also ordered people to plant golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, etc. in the courtyard. When October arrives, the garden will be filled with fragrance."
Lin Qingpei's eyes were full of tenderness.
But Yi Huan knew that the reason why he was like this was because he was anxious to return to the court.
Yi Huan asked: "Where is Gu Xiaoniang? If Gu Xiaoniang finds out, I'm afraid she will be unhappy again."
"Huan'er, don't mind. If you don't like it, you can send Chu Xue to the village outside. I have taken back the control of the family from her. When Huan'er returns home, I will hand everything over to Ning. Xuan Tang.”
"My husband is deeply in love with Gu Xiaoniang. How can I do that thing to win someone's love? It would seem that I am too unkind." Yi Huan sighed quietly.
She remembered her sister-in-law's words that a generous woman would always be more popular than a jealous woman.
Lin Qingpei felt certain after hearing this. Sure enough, Yi Huan was sensible and decent, just as he thought. With a few words of good words and an apology gift, the past could be wiped out.
"Huan'er will be the head of the Lin family in the future, and Huan'er can do whatever he wants."
Yi Huan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lang, I only have three requests for you. If you can agree, I will go back to Lin Mansion with you."
She no longer desires Lin Qingpei's love, she just wants to grab what she can.
"Okay, Huan'er, just say it."
"One, no matter what, this power of running the family cannot be taken away from me in the future."
"Of course, you are the wife of my Ming media, so you should be in charge of the middle office."
"Two, the husband is not allowed to take any more concubines in the future."
Just one Gu Chuxue had already made her suffer so much. If there were a few more, wouldn't the Lin Mansion be in dire straits?
Lin Qingpei had no intention of continuing to keep concubines, so he responded: "Okay."
"Third, if one day the husband gets tired of me and doesn't divorce his wife, but just makes peace with her, will the husband be able to do it?"
After saying this, not only Lin Qingpei, but also Tao Xin opened his eyes wide and looked at Yi Huan in shock.
The hall suddenly became quiet, breathing could be heard, but Lin Qingpei did not answer immediately like before.
Yi Huan was not in a hurry and just looked at him like this.
Lin Qingpei said: "Huan'er, I won't divorce my wife, so this situation won't happen. Don't think about it, okay?"
Yi Huan clutched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "My husband used to have a deep love for Gu Xiaoniang, and I saw it in my eyes. Now, just to make me happy, you can just ignore me. Even you once Is this true for my beloved Gu Xiaoniang, let alone me who has no affection for me? Sir, I have to be afraid."
When Lin Qingpei heard this, he thought Yi Huan was acting like this because he felt insecure.
Forget it, it's just a verbal promise. If this can make her relax, if she wants it, he can give it to her.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Taoxin, prepare paper and ink, and ask Mr. Lang to press your fingerprints as proof."
