If you can't even protect your father's memorial tablet and ashes, what's the point of losing his backbone?

"Did she really say that?"
In the White Horse Temple, Lin Qingpei asked.
He was indeed avoiding Yi Huan, saving her from chasing him for Li Shu.
The soldier hurriedly replied: "I also saw my wife taking out a jade pendant with a dragon carved on it."
Lin Qingpei's face was not good-looking. Since ancient times, it was difficult for upright officials to intervene in household affairs. Even His Majesty, there was absolutely no reason to interfere in other people's internal affairs.
Her heart of peace and separation is so determined!
No, he had to think of a way.
Lin Qingpei looked at the room full of ever-burning lanterns and said, "I heard that she offered ever-burning lanterns to my father-in-law and Yi Sheng here last year. I have always wanted to come over and pay my respects. My father-in-law helped me a lot during his lifetime, but I just found one." I couldn’t even find it.”
The soldier scratched his head and said, "Are you sure? The lanterns are all on the fourth floor. Why don't you ask the little monk outside."
"When I asked, they just said they didn't know."
Lin Qingpei sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll look for it next time." She didn't know where she had hidden the ashes of her father and brother's memorial tablets, and the people in the Yi family were going crazy with anxiety.
Matters in the inner house must be solved by the people in the inner house.
Lin Qingpei returned to Lin Mansion and went straight to Jingshou Hall.
He opened the curtain and walked in.
Mrs. Lin saw him and asked quickly: "How is the progress?"
Lin Qingpei shook her head and said: "This time she did something wrong with good intentions. She seems to look down on the position of a subordinate."
Mrs. Lin immediately sneered: "She still doesn't like it. Her nephew is just a straw bag. If you can arrange such a fat job for him, she should kneel down and be grateful."
"I'm afraid that if she really comes to the palace with His Majesty's token and seeks justice from His Majesty, it will be too late by then."
Lin Qingpei's face was gloomy.
"No, you can't make trouble in front of His Majesty. It will affect your career." The old lady crossed the beads in her hand and said, "Whatever she cares about most, start from there."
What did Yi Huan care about most in the past? It was nothing more than the Yi family and her sister-in-law.
Cao's...
"What does mother mean?"
"Isn't she brought up by her sister-in-law? A sister-in-law is like a mother!"
Lin Qingpei said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Cao can't persuade her anymore. She has already persuaded everyone who can."
"Son." Mrs. Lin held down Lin Qingpei's hand and looked at him. She said, "You still don't understand women. What if Mrs. Cao threatens her with her life? That is the sister-in-law who brought her up since she was a child. Ah, can she really watch her die?"
Lin Qingpei was shocked.
Mrs. Lin said: "In the past few days, the situation in the Yi Mansion should be disturbed as much as possible. It will make the Cao family exhausted mentally and physically. The Cao family will be weak-tempered and will not be able to survive for long."
Lin Qingpei also realized that it was a good idea. Yi Huan was not a cruel person.
Mrs. Cao is no different from her mother to her, and she will never see anything happen to her.
"I have an idea in mind." Lin Qingpei calmed down a little.
He had been very impatient these past two days. He was afraid that Yi Huan would ignore her and make the trouble known to the world. He had no handle on Yi Huan and was afraid that once they divorced, he would become the first dignitary in the capital to divorce his wife. The courtiers will no longer have their glory in the future.
"As long as you know what to do, Ms. Cao is a good person. After controlling her, Yi Huan can still run away."
Lin Qingpei's expression relaxed, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised as she said, "Thank you, my dear, for your mother's guidance."
"If she hadn't had that piece of jade in her hand..." Old Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth, "Who would have gotten her to be so arrogant today!"
"Even if I tell you to Your Majesty, as long as I don't write a letter of separation, she will only be my, Lin Qingpei's. Your Majesty is in charge of the world's state affairs and has no reason to interfere in the family affairs of your ministers."
Once divorced, he became a joke.
It took him a year to climb to his current position, and he must not fail because of Yi Huan.

Return to the Yi family.
Yi Huan thought that after one afternoon, his sister-in-law's anger should have subsided a little, so he went to her sister-in-law's hospital.
Cao Yaqin was lying in the room with her back to her.
Yi Huan stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you still angry with me?"
Cao Yaqin said nothing.
Yi Huan sat on the edge of her bed and said: "Sister-in-law, I am too impatient. You think Ming'er will not have a big future, and you want him to be a subordinate, and you want him to have a stable job, but sister-in-law , Ming'er is only thirteen years old, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. How can we deny his life just because of his words and deeds before he was thirteen?"
"Furthermore, even if Brother Ming stays like this all his life and really has no future, what will he do if he has children in the future? He won't take the imperial examination or pursue an official career? It doesn't matter that our third house is suppressed by other houses. In the future, his son Are our grandchildren also oppressed? Does my sister-in-law want those younger generations to also experience the hardships we suffered before..."
Cao Yaqin still didn't answer.
Yi Huan grabbed her hand, shook it, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be sulky. They want the subordinate's job in the second room, so let them go to Lin Qingpei to ask for it. Anyway, the people in the third room are not Rare."
Yi Huan hugged her, leaned on her back, and said, "They say a sister-in-law is like a mother. She raised me. I have never met my mother, but in my heart, my sister-in-law is just like my mother."
Hearing this, Cao Yaqin couldn't help turning around, covering her mouth with her hand, and said: "You kid is talking nonsense and you don't know how to speak. Can you say such nonsense? If your mother is still alive, I'm afraid I’m going to be pissed off.”
Yi Huan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to talk to me?"
Cao Yaqin's tone was filled with resentment. She said: "You are just like your brother. You just want to get ahead and don't want a stable life. You advised me not to let Ming'er be a subordinate. I just agreed. What about you? ? Are you determined to make peace with Lin Qingpei?"
Yi Huan said: "Sister-in-law, I don't understand. You also know that Lin Qingpei is not a good match. In that case, why do you have to persuade me to live with him like this? Do I really can't live without him? Are you alive?"
Cao Yaqin sighed and said: "I said before, Huan'er, you are not deeply involved in the world, you have seen too little, and you think everything is too simple. Do you think that peace and separation are just a matter of a piece of paper and a letter of separation? Do you think that peace and separation are just a matter of a piece of paper and a letter of separation?" Will you be free after divorce?"
She got up from the bed, put on her shoes, and said, "I'll take you to a place."
Yi Huan didn't ask any more questions, she responded: "Okay."

Cao Yaqin and Yi Huan took a carriage and went to Nanping Village.
At the east end of the village, there lived a crazy woman named Jiang Nian'er.
In the evening, Cao Yaqin put on the curtain hat and tied the belt for Yi Huan. She said warmly: "Huan'er, if you see anything for a while, don't say anything."
Yi Huan had a vague feeling that she was about to see something terrible.
