Cao Yaqin brought Yi Huan's words to Lin Qingpei.
Lin Qingpei's face darkened.
He said: "She is still complaining about me."
Cao Yaqin sighed and said, "Although Huan'er looks weak and restrained, she is very high-spirited."
Yi Huan's words made Lin Qingpei a little unhappy.
He suppressed his displeasure and said to Cao Yaqin: "Can you take me to Huan'er Courtyard? I want to talk to her face to face."
Cao Yaqin hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can explain to her carefully. Huan'er is not an unreasonable person. She is actually very soft-hearted."
"Thank you, madam."
Cao Yaqin brought Lin Qingpei to the courtyard and said, "This used to be Huan'er's boudoir before she left the pavilion. I'll take my leave first and won't disturb you guys."
Lin Qingpei reached out and pushed the door open.
The door bolt was inserted by Yi Huan from the inside. Lin Qingpei couldn't push it open for a while. He was silent for a while and called: "Huan'er."
Yi Huan's emotionless voice came from inside: "Has the letter of He Li been written?"
"Huan'er, it wasn't me who wanted to have a relationship with that prostitute. I was intoxicated by the aphrodisiac. Are you still unwilling to forgive me?"
Yi Huan said, "It's true that you had a relationship with that prostitute."
"What should I do to make you calm down?"
Yi Huan stood up, tore up the written words and said, "No matter what you do, I no longer want to be your Lin Qingpei's wife."
Unexpectedly, when Lin Qingpei heard this, he slowly took a few steps back and stood in the courtyard.
The next moment, he lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down upright.
He said: "Then I will kneel here until you forgive me."
Yi Huan shook her head and said softly: "Even if you kneel until you die, Mr. Lang, all I'm waiting for is a letter of peace."
Lin Qingpei clenched his cheeks and said, "Reconciliation is not your business alone. Have you ever thought about the elders of your Yi family? They have been asking me for benefits this year."
"Unless I asked you, Lang Jun, to help them, my uncles are not kind people. If Lang Jun can't stand it, just take back all the benefits and deal with them."
"Are you so cruel that you don't even care about your own family?"
"Family." Yi Huan chuckled and said, "My family only has my father's lineage, and now I only have one sister-in-law left."
Cao Yaqin came over with lunch and was about to send Yi Huan in when she saw Lin Qingpei kneeling at the door.
Cao Yaqin was shocked and said: "General Lin, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Lin Qingpei gritted her teeth and said, "If Huan'er doesn't forgive me, I won't be able to afford it!"
"What can't you say properly?"
Lin Qingpei lowered his head and said, "Huan'er has knelt down like this before, but it was just for a period of time. I am a grown man and what else, as long as Huan'er is willing to calm down, everything I do will be worth it."
Cao Yaqin was touched by his words, and she couldn't help but said: "Why are you doing this? If you had been nicer to her before, I guess she wouldn't be so determined. She was just heartbroken. This person, once he was... It’s very difficult to get her to look back after my heart is broken.”
"Madam, I, Lin Qingpei, rarely ask for help. I beg you, please help me persuade Huan'er."
"I try my best."
Cao Yaqin looked at him and then at the closed door, showing helplessness.
She stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said, "Huan'er, it's me. My sister-in-law is here to deliver lunch to you."
Yi Huan opened the door and let her in without looking at Lin Qingpei in the courtyard.
Cao Yaqin put the lunch on the table and said, "Did you see it? General Lin is kneeling outside in order to apologize. He doesn't care about his face at all. He just wants you to calm down."
Yi Huan said, "Now that things have happened, does he still have any face? After what happened this morning spread, he no longer has any face to speak of."
"I think he has really realized his mistake. Are you really so cruel to keep him on his knees?" Cao Yaqin asked.
"I didn't ask him to kneel, it was him who wanted to kneel. Besides, I used to kneel a lot when I was in the Lin Mansion. Sister-in-law, why don't you feel sorry for me?"
Hearing this, Cao Yaqin quickly hugged her gently and said, "Why don't I feel sorry for you? When I see you being humiliated, I am the one who feels the most pain."
"Then don't speak for him anymore."
Cao Yaqin took out the food in the food box and said: "You, you have to think carefully. General Lin is sincere in admitting his mistakes now. I don't say that admitting his mistakes can improve the situation. In this world, I can kneel down for my wife." There are too few men."
When Yi Huan heard this, he subconsciously said: "It has become common for women to kneel down. When a man kneels down, he makes countless people feel sad. This is nothing."
Cao Yaqin was startled.
"Sister-in-law, don't try to persuade me. All I want now is a piece of paper and a letter of departure."
When Cao Yaqin heard this, she couldn't say any more.
Yi Huan has a stubborn temper, and trying to get her to turn around this time is probably even harder than reaching the sky. General Lin may have really violated Huan'er's bottom line this time.
*
Lin Qingpei really knelt in the courtyard all afternoon.
It was getting dark, and his face was getting darker and darker.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the next moment, it started to rain lightly.
Lin Qingpei looked up and saw the drizzle falling on his face. He suddenly remembered the last time Yi Huan knelt in his mother's courtyard on a rainy day.
At that time, he thought it was just a matter of kneeling for a while. How big a deal could it be?
Now I knelt down and realized that my knees ached and numb, and the rain fell on my face, which was a bone-chilling chill that reached the bottom of my heart.
Cao Yaqin came over holding an umbrella and said, "General Lin, it's raining. Don't kneel down anymore. Get up first."
Lin Qingpei stretched out her hand, wiped the rain off her face, and said, "No, I said, if Huan'er doesn't forgive me, I will kneel here."
Cao Yaqin said: "It's useless for you to continue kneeling now. Huan'er might have fallen asleep."
Lin Qingpei said: "Last time when Huan'er was in Jingshou Hall, my mother punished her by kneeling down like this. It also rained that day, but Huan'er knelt down for several hours."
After saying this, Cao Yaqin stopped talking.
"Let me kneel down. It's time for me to suffer the same pain she has suffered. If Huan'er can bear the punishment, so can I."
Cao Yaqin stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said, "Huan'er, it's raining outside, very hard. You'd better wake up General Lin first and let him go inside to take shelter from the rain."
Cao Yaqin thought to herself, they have to meet each other. Is there anything that they can't sit down and talk about?
Yi Huan's voice came from inside the house.
"Sister-in-law, this is my boudoir. As you said before, men are not allowed to set foot in the boudoir."
"But, he is your husband."
"Lang Jun." Yi Huan raised her voice and said, "Do you think I will be moved by you kneeling like this? Is this comparable to 1% of the sins I suffered in the Lin Mansion? I I just want He Li Shu, if you write He Li Shu, I will open the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, her uncle's angry voice came from outside.
"Reconciliation book? Who said we wanted to make peace? Who allowed you to make peace!"
The Yi family's aunts and uncles came in with angry faces. They hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Qingpei up and said, "Qingpei, get up. It's because Yi Huan is ignorant. Don't worry, we will definitely talk to her." !”
"How could I let you kneel outside for so long! It's outrageous!"
