When Yi Huan returned to the Lin Mansion, everyone in the Lin Mansion came out to greet him with great fanfare. Not only did they want to show it to His Majesty in the palace, they also wanted to show it to the officials in the capital.
This time His Majesty's thunderous anger in the Lin Mansion caused an unprecedented blow to the reputation of the Lin Mansion.
Mrs. Lin said: "As for what, the whole family came out to greet her. My mother is still ill, so she is with everyone outside at such a late hour, blowing the cold wind outside. What if she becomes seriously ill?"
The uncle of the Lin family advised: "Say a few words quickly. If you hadn't instigated me in front of my mother earlier, saying that my younger siblings didn't regard our Lin family as her own, how could my mother punish my younger siblings in anger?"
"Is it my fault? She didn't treat us as a family to begin with. She didn't say anything else, but she said that our brother was a brother and wanted him to enter White Horse Academy. As a result, the gentleman asked for thousands of taels of money. Shu Xiu, neither you nor I can afford it, which caused Brother Cheng to delay her studies for a year. At that time, did she ever think that I was also her sister-in-law, and did she ever think about selling her dowry to support me?"
"My sister-in-law had just gotten married at that time. Okay, stop talking."
The eldest lady muttered, obviously very dissatisfied with this.
"It's all your failure. If you could have done better, would it be the second wife's turn to be in charge of the house?" She scolded the uncle unhappily.
She has never been in charge of a house in all the years she has been in the house, and the first bedroom is always one step below the second bedroom.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" The old lady knocked her cane in displeasure and said, "Do you still think that the Lin Mansion is not enough to make people laugh? This is His Majesty's order. Wife, if you have any objections, please go to His Majesty. explain!"
"You only have such a little vision, and you focus on the second daughter-in-law's dowry all day long. It's okay this time. The second son has lost his official position because of this. If the second son fails to recover from this, who will he rely on to revitalize the family in the future? Is it you? Or rely on your useless husband?"
The old lady's words were extremely harsh.
The eldest lady immediately stopped talking.
Gu Chuxue stood in the corner, watching quietly. Her small face was extremely pale, her hand unconsciously touched her belly, and the corners of her lips were raised slightly.
There is no rush, her good days are still to come, let Yi be proud for two days first.
The carriage came gurgling and stopped at the door of Lin Mansion.
The next moment, Lin Qingpei supported Yi Huan and stepped out of the car.
The old lady immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softened visibly, and she stepped forward and said, "The second man is back, and the second daughter-in-law is back as well. Just come back, just come back."
The eldest lady saw the bracelet on Yi Huan's hand with sharp eyes and said, "Mother, you actually gave her the bracelet passed down by your ancestors?"
The old lady also saw it.
If he is willing to wear the bracelet she gave him, it means that the second daughter-in-law has calmed down.
She asked: "Do you like this bracelet? I know you young people like fresher colors. If you don't like it, ask Erlang to buy another one later."
The old lady's face changed really quickly.
So Yi Huan also said obediently: "My mother-in-law gave it to me, how could my daughter-in-law not like it?"
The old lady said: "Do you still blame me? That day...that day I was also dizzy, so I let you kneel in the rain for so long..."
As she spoke, the old lady sighed and said, "Second daughter-in-law, I can't help you. If you can't calm down, let me kneel down and kowtow to you to apologize!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she was about to kneel down.
The eldest lady, uncle, and Lin Qingpei hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, how could this happen?"
Yi Huan stood there without responding, quietly watching their performance.
Lin Qingpei also said: "Yes, mother, Huan'er is not a grudge-bearing person. Huan'er is no longer angry with you. You don't have to be like this."
After saying that, he turned back and glanced at Yi Huan.
"Seriously? The second daughter-in-law is not angry with me anymore?" The old lady looked at Yi Huan expectantly.
What happened at the gate of Lin Mansion today may soon spread outside, and even reach the palace.
By then everyone in the capital would know that Mrs. Lin's wife had knelt down to her daughter-in-law, and people would subconsciously sympathize with the weak. Even if she was reasonable, she would become the unforgiving party. The old lady is kneeling down, what else do you want?
Yi Huan smiled and said: "Of course I'm not angry with my mother-in-law anymore. I also know that my mother-in-law was just impulsive that day. I think that won't happen again in the future, right, mother-in-law?"
Yi Huan looked at her with faint eyes.
The old lady's heart tightened when she saw it.
She said: "Of course, you will be in charge of the house in the future, and that kind of thing will never happen again."
Lin Qingpei said: "Okay, let's go in first. Mother is sick, so it's not advisable to stay out in the wind for too long."
He turned back, walked towards Yi Huan, grabbed her little hand, and said warmly: "Huan'er, you go back to Ningxuan Hall first. Ningxuan Hall has been renovated. Go back and see if you like it. If there is anything you don't like, tell me." , I ordered people to change it, and I sent my mother back to Jingshou Hall first."
Yi Huan did not refuse.
*
Jingshou Hall.
The old lady grabbed Lin Qingpei's hand and said, "I always feel that she is a vengeful person, Erlang."
"Mother, you should recover from your illness first. Don't worry about it in advance." Lin Qingpei advised.
The old lady sighed and said, "I'm afraid that she will take charge of the family in the future..."
"Let's go through His Majesty's test first. As soon as this happens tonight, I'm afraid it won't be long before His Majesty knows the news of Yi Huan's return to the Lin Mansion. Your Majesty has promised that as long as Huan'er forgives me, I can return to the court. Your Majesty He is a man of his word, he will definitely call me into the palace after getting the news."
"Yes, yes, nothing is more important now than your reinstatement. Alas, let's leave this Lin Mansion to Yi Huan for a while until the limelight passes..."
"Mother, even if the limelight is over, Yi Huan cannot be in the same difficult situation in the Lin Mansion as before. At least...it must be okay on the surface. His Majesty has now noticed the Lin Mansion. This time he just suspended me and gave me a chance to reinstate. It won’t be the case next time…”
The old lady fell silent.
"Qingpei, if you can have a son and a half with the Yi family, I think Your Majesty will be relieved. Besides, when a woman gives birth to a child, she has to go through life and death..." The old lady's eyes flashed slightly.
"Well, during this period, I will rest in Ningxuan Hall. Mother can rest assured."
"Look, the boss has three children, so you should have one too." The old lady grabbed his hand and said.
He was too embarrassed to tell his mother that he hadn't consummated his marriage to Yi Huan yet. Anyway, he would stay in Ningxuan Hall these days and they could have sex tonight.
"Second Master, someone is coming from the palace. Hurry and go to the main hall to receive the order." Outside the door, the servant knocked on the door and whispered.
Lin Qingpei and the old lady looked at each other, "Sure enough, His Majesty also learned the news immediately. I am afraid that this is to announce my entry into the palace. I think I will be reinstated tonight."
There was a faint smile on Lin Qingpei's lips.
The old lady also became happy.
"It's really as good as you said. Your Majesty still values you, Erlang."
