"Stop! Stop it!"
Seeing the little maid really going to the ancestral hall to get the tablet.
Yi Huan hurried forward and stopped her in the rain.
She turned pale and said, "Auntie, you are so ungrateful. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Don't forget that the Yi family can come here step by step because of someone!"
"Yi Huan, you don't understand that death is like a light extinguishing. If you want to blame it, it's Cheng Yong who died too early. The Yi family once stood in a high position. Although they are now in decline, they still occupy a place in the capital. If you want The entire Yi family will follow you and fall into the mud! I will grab the tablets of your father and brother and bury them together!"
She knew what Yi Huan cared about most right now.
Raindrops fell on Yi Huan's face and body, wetting her little by little. The cold chill penetrated her skin and soaked into her bones.
Yi Huan clenched her fists, her joints turning white. She looked directly at her eldest aunt and said, "If you dare to do anything to my father and brother's memorial tablets, I will make you die! Simply burn down the Yi family! It will be over!"
After saying that, Yi Huan turned around coldly and went to the ancestral hall.
Lin Qingpei nodded at everyone and hurriedly followed.
The eldest aunt breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, this girl still misses the family relationship between father and daughter."

In the ancestral hall, Yi Huan carefully held her father's tablet in her arms and wiped the fine dust on it with a handkerchief.
She sat on the futon and took this matter very seriously.
"Huan'er."
Lin Qingpei's voice came from behind.
"roll."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Qingpei's face, and he said, "Go back to the Lin Mansion with me. From now on, I will never let those people threaten you with your father."
"roll."
Yi Huan lowered his eyes, and suddenly, a drop of hot tears fell on the tablet with a "pop" sound.
She didn't even notice it, but before she knew it, her eyes were red and she couldn't help crying.
"Huan'er, I can help you separate from your sister-in-law. I know it's not easy for you under the oppression of other families." Lin Qingpei persuaded her kindly.
"roll."
Yi Huan placed the tablet in his arms, then picked up the palm-sized urns of his father and brother and walked into the rainy night.
She no longer wanted to put her father and brother under the Yi family's nose.
After leaving Yi Mansion, Yi Huan headed towards the White Horse Temple.
Lin Qingpei followed her all the way. He held an umbrella and stepped forward to protect her from the rain. Yi Huan turned around, raised his hand and knocked down the umbrella with a snap.
She said: "Can you please stop following me! You never took care of me before, and you won't take care of me in the future, okay? Whether I, Yi Huan, live or die, what does it have to do with you?"
Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead, looking haggard.
Lin Qingpei felt a little pity in his heart and said: "It was me before, but I really won't be like that in the future. I will be good to you and won't let you be in dire straits again. Please trust me again." Just this once, okay?”
Yi Huan gritted her teeth and her body was trembling. She asked, "When my aunts and uncles were in trouble for me just now, why didn't you help me?"
Lin Qingpei was stunned for a moment.
"Why didn't you protect me then?"
Facing Yi Huan's questioning, Lin Qingpei had nothing to say, because he wanted to use the people of the Yi family to control Yi Huan.
Yi Huan naturally understands this simple truth.
"Forget it, you'd better tell Miss Gu about your sweet talk later."
Yi Huan dropped him, turned around, and headed towards the White Horse Temple.
Lin Qingpei didn't catch up anymore, he just stood silently in the rain, staring at her back with calm eyes.

When Yi Huan walked into the White Horse Temple, the young novice came to greet him and asked, "Madam, why are you here now?"
"I enshrined two everlasting lanterns in your temple last year. I wonder if my little master still remembers them?"
"Of course, General Yi protects his family and country, I will remember that."
"I want to see them."
"Donor, please come with the young monk."
Yi Huan's body was dripping with water, and every step he took left a long wet mark on the ground.
The young novice said: "The ever-burning lanterns of the two generals of the Yi family are on the fifth floor. There are dedicated people in our temple who are responsible for guarding the oil fire every day. Madam, you can rest assured."
Yi Huan nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you all, I will donate more sesame oil money when I get back."
The little novice monk smiled and said, "That would be great."
The lanterns on the lower floors are densely packed together. Only on the fifth floor are the lanterns of the two generals of the Yi family. I don't know if they are the abbot of the White Horse Temple. For the sake of her father protecting the family and the country.
Yi Huan stepped forward, carefully took out the memorial tablet and urn from his arms, and placed them behind the ever-burning lamp.
"My daughter is unfilial." Yi Huan said with red eyes.
She knelt on the futon, kowtowed to the ever-burning lamp in front of her, and said, "Father, I really want to make peace with Lin Qingpei, will you allow it?"
It was impossible for the tablet to answer her.
Yi Huan lowered her head, and the water drops on her hair also dripped down, and fell to the clean ground.
I wonder if it was the warm yellow light emitted by the ever-burning lamp that warmed her, and she didn't feel so cold anymore.
Yi Huan sniffed and stood up, walking outside. When he reached the stairs, he vaguely saw the warm light emitting from the sixth floor.
As if possessed, Yi Huan couldn't help but step onto the wooden stairs and walk towards the sixth floor.
In the house, the entire sixth floor only had one lamp.
On that lamp, there were only three words written: Jiang Shuyun.
A lonely figure stood in front of the lamp. The man was tall and tall, standing in front of the lamp with his hands behind his back.
He seemed to hear movement coming from the stairs. The man turned around and saw her. He was not surprised and called out: "Huan'er."
Yi Huan became visibly embarrassed.
"How could it be you, Your Majesty?"
The man strode towards her, touched her cold little face, his tentacles were cold, and said: "How did you get yourself into this state? If I had known, I would have gone directly to the Yi Mansion to find you. I had planned to use the evasion method later. In Yu’s name, I went to Yi Mansion to stay for one night.”
Yi Huan pursed his lips, and his deer-like eyes came alive to the naked eye. He stared at him warily and asked, "Why are you going to Yi Mansion?"
Jin Yuan chuckled, took off his coat, put it on her body, and said, "What do you mean?"
"Don't."
Yi Huan quickly stretched out her hand to block it, and she said suddenly: "It will make your clothes wet too."
"Then get wet."
He was very forceful and tied her clothes in just a moment. He asked, "You were bullied? Why didn't you come to me?"
Yi Huan lowered his head and said, "Who are you and why should I look for you?"
"Am I not your good lover?"
The man held her chin, raised her head, and looked at her.
She saw a touch of warm orange-red in Jin Yuan's pupils, coming from the ever-burning lamp.
"Why don't you want to take advantage of me?"
