Cao Yaqin stopped talking. The world is generally tolerant of men, but not women.
Yi Huan said: "I have been living in the Lin Mansion for a year. If I continue to stay there, I don't know how long it will take. Sister-in-law, you said that the power of running the family is in my hands. You said that I can survive it." Is this really the case?"
"Lin Qingpei can deprive Gu Xiaoniang of the power to run the family with one word, and he can also deprive me of it with one word. Now it seems that I have the upper hand, but sister-in-law, don't forget, he has no affection for me. .”
After Yi Huan finished speaking, he lowered his head to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.
Yi Huan is as proud as her father and brother.
She had listened to her sister-in-law and tried hard to be a virtuous and generous wife, but did she really like this kind of life?
Cao Yaqin said: "Most couples in the world get together because of their parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker. How can there be so much affection?"
"Sister-in-law, don't you have any affection for my brother?" Yi Huan asked.
When Cao Yaqin heard this, a wry smile appeared on her lips, and she said: "After we got engaged, your brother always secretly climbed over the wall to come to my boudoir to find me. I have never seen such a frivolous and cheerful man. Maybe he was really attracted by it at the beginning. He was obsessed with me, but after we got married, he left me and went to the frontier. He stayed there for four years, and even if there was any affection, it was exhausted."
Yi Huan let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard to have both, building a career and loving your children. It's my brother who can't forgive you, my sister-in-law."
"Huan'er, so when it comes to reconciliation, we must be cautious and consider it clearly. We women only want stability. It doesn't matter whether Lin Qingpei has feelings for you or not. The important thing is to live a stable life. Sister-in-law will not I hope you will become the laughing stock of those people outside."
"But now, do you think there are still few people out there who are gossiping?"
Nowadays, there is an uproar in the capital because of Lin Qingpei's dirty deeds, and even she was dragged out for discussion.
Why did General Lin go to a prostitute?
It’s not because the wife of the wife cannot win over her husband!
At this time, Lin Qingpei went to court.
The young man was waiting for him outside the palace. When he saw Lin Qingpei coming out, the young man whispered in his ear: "Second Master, I sent someone to check, but no one named Si from Jiangnan was found. A soft woman.”
Suddenly, Lin Qingpei's already unhappy mood became even worse.
"Have you searched everywhere? No Sirou?"
After that woman came out of the ruins this morning, she greeted him and then disappeared so quickly? It's hard to imagine that I didn't fall into someone's trap.
"We searched everywhere. We specially asked people from Nanying to search every house."
Lin Qingpei's face was gloomy and he said: "Keep looking."
"Yes, Second Master."
During the morning court today, the officials in the court looked at him with disdain and disdain. Some courtiers even got involved with Lin Qingpei because of this, which Lin Qingpei couldn't bear.
His Majesty's attitude was unclear. He just looked at him with a half-smile and said that Lin Aiqing was very lucky.
Lin Qingpei remembered that the prostitute was introduced to him by Zhang Chengen, the Minister of Rites.
Lin Qingpei turned around, and Master Zhang just came out of the palace.
Lin Qingpei walked up quickly and grabbed his collar. With a gloomy look on his face, he asked: "Mr. Zhang, who is the famous Jiangnan prostitute you mentioned last night? Why has she disappeared now? Searches throughout the capital Can’t even find it?”
Master Zhang was surprised: "Is this so? General Lin, I really don't know. I didn't bring that famous prostitute from Jiangnan to Baihualou. She claimed to be a famous prostitute from Jiangnan. What did she do to me?" General Lin, this matter cannot be blamed on me."
Master Zhang showed displeasure and said: "Besides, I didn't ask General Lin to touch the prostitute. It's because General Lin couldn't control himself. Now that General Lin has lost his life, he wants to blame others. Huh? I advise General Lin not to do this. What happened last night? Several other colleagues saw it, but no one forced General Lin to do that. "
After saying that, Mr. Zhang pushed Lin Qingpei away, straightened his collar, and got into his carriage.
Now that Lin Qingpei had calmed down, the scent he smelled from the prostitute last night must be different. He turned around, got on the carriage, and gave instructions: "Invite the best incense maker in the capital to the house."
"Yes, Second Master."
Lin Qingpei acted quickly. In just one morning, he found the origin of the fragrance he smelled last night.
It's actually an aphrodisiac.
He was like this because he was attracted by the aphrodisiac scent of the prostitute! He didn't do it voluntarily!
After finding out about the matter, Lin Qingpei immediately rushed to Yi Mansion.
Cao Yaqin saw him coming, stopped him and asked, "General Lin is here to see Huan'er?"
Lin Qingpei nodded and said: "Madam, I have found out the whole story of last night. I fell into the trap of the prostitute because of the aphrodisiac incense last night. The whereabouts of the prostitute are now unknown. I fell into someone else's trap." .”
Cao Yaqin was surprised: "Is that so?"
"The name of the aphrodisiac incense is Huanqingxiang. I was careless because I didn't notice it at the moment. Madam-in-law, I don't want to make peace with Yi Huan. You should know that now our Lin Mansion and the Yi family have a relationship where one is prosperous and the other is destructive. You don’t want to see Yi Huan become a divorced wife, right?”
Cao Yaqin really didn't want to, she couldn't see Yi Huan die alone all his life.
"Sister-in-law, I have realized my mistake. I will never go out drinking with others next time. Can you help me persuade her?"
Cao Yaqin frowned and said, "Huan'er is angry now and may not want to see you. If that's the case, you can't be blamed for this. You go to the lobby and wait for a while. I'll go in and inform Huan'er of the matter. Maybe she can change her mind."
Lin Qingpei bowed to Cao Yaqin and said, "Then Lin will thank my wife here."
Cao Yaqin turned around and went to Yi Huan's boudoir again.
She told Yi Huanting everything about it.
"Huan'er, General Lin fell into someone else's scheme. The officialdom is full of intrigues and deceptions. This happens only if you don't pay attention for a while. It's really not the fault of General Lin."
Yi Huan was sitting in the room practicing calligraphy. After hearing this, she put down the pen in her hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think this is his fault?"
"Unless he actively wants to visit prostitutes, I think there is still room for change. General Lin is not the kind of playboy you think who likes to hang out in the land of fireworks."
Yi Huan said, "I don't look at the process, only the results. So what if he falls into someone else's trap? If he is truly honest and upright and has a firm will, how could others choose such a method to frame him?"
When Cao Yaqin heard this, she was slightly startled and said, "It seems that Huan'er doesn't want to forgive him anymore."
After saying that, she sighed softly.
"You are so angry that you will suffer big losses in the future."
Yi Huan said: "Then just eat it. Isn't the loss I suffered earlier still less? Everyone will suffer losses, why not choose the way you like."
