Yi Huan said: "Sister-in-law, I'm nineteen this year. I'm not old enough to be cheated. I know what I should listen to and what I shouldn't."
Cao Yaqin knew that she was stubborn and would never look back if she decided to do something.
But she didn't expect that this stubbornness would be used on her now!
"You said you knew? I brought you here to see Jiang Nian'er today just to tell you what will happen if you don't live a good life, work day and night, and be abandoned."
"Sister-in-law, she was just deceived by the captain. She is your close friend. Do you think she deserves what she deserves?"
"She is pitiful, but she is responsible for all this." Cao Yaqin said with a cold face.
"I don't know who you went to see last night. Do you also want to be like her and break up with your husband just because of a few words, and end up with an unhappy ending?"
Yi Huan said: "I want to reconcile, not because of anyone's instigation. From the beginning, I didn't like life in the Lin family."
As he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook.
Cao Yaqin couldn't help but fall forward. Yi Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her.
Cao Yaqin exclaimed.
He reached out and subconsciously grabbed her clothes, tearing off a large piece of her collar.
She had sharp eyes, and she immediately caught a glimpse of the red bellyband inside the slightly open collar.
Cao Yaqin suddenly grabbed her collar, pulled it down, and said, "What is this? When you were at home yesterday, you were not wearing this color underneath."
Cao Yaqin stared at her.
Yi Huan tightened his collar and said, "I just changed it."
But Cao Yaqin said: "After you came back this morning, you didn't have time to go back to your yard to spend time. When did you change it? You are deceiving my sister-in-law again."
Cao Yaqin's tone suddenly became fierce: "You had an affair with a man! No matter who the man was! Once the incident happened, did you think you could be kind? You also want to be like Jiang Nian'er, don't you?"
"When you were young, I taught you that women should abide by the three obediences and the four virtues. If you do this now, where will you put the things I taught you in the past? You want to be called a slut and be shamed by outsiders. Are you willing to wake up when everyone shouts about being beaten or being paraded through the streets and thrown into a lake?"
"Sister-in-law, don't get excited. Listen to me. I'm not stupid. I just want to..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Cao Yaqin, "It's my fault that you have become like this, unruly and disobedient to your elders. When I die, how can you have the dignity to go see your brother underground!"
"You are not allowed to have any contact with His Majesty anymore. He is the Emperor, and it is enough to offend others. If you offend the Emperor, will you still be able to live in the future? Yi Huan, why are you so unconscious!"
She seemed completely disappointed. She let go of her hand and leaned against the carriage, her face full of dejection.
"From today on, don't go out even half a step. You need to calm down for a while. Yi Huan, what you are doing now is really, really ridiculous!"
"Sister-in-law, you want to ground me?" Yi Huan asked.
Cao Yaqin said: "I think you have lost your mind during this period, and you are being bewitched without even realizing it. You should think about it at home, and then deal with the matter with Lin Qingpei after you have thought it through."
This time Yi Huan really had a dispute with Cao Yaqin.
Cao Yaqin was angry and stopped talking.
Yi Huan said: "I think clearly."
Back at Yi's house, Cao Yaqin said: "Send Huan'er back to Zhixiang Pavilion. She is not allowed to come out without my instructions."
*
Yi Huan sat under the window sill, resting one hand on the window and looking out calmly.
Yi Huan called out: "Ji Zhenzhen."
The little girl was hanging upside down from the beam, and her voice was clear: "Here you are, madam, what's the matter?"
Yi Huan asked: "Do you think what my sister-in-law said is right?"
Ji Zhenzhen grinned and said: "I didn't expect that the young lady from your rich family would actually live this kind of life? I don't think it's right, because you won't die if you offend His Majesty. Your Majesty is the first to treat you well, Madam." , I have never seen him do this to anyone since I became an embroiderer."
Yi Huan rested her chin on her arms and looked at the clusters of peach blossoms that had just bloomed outside. She said: "I know that my sister-in-law is timid and is afraid that if the family is separated, her life after leaving the Yi Mansion will not be as good as now, but I can't How do you know if you try?”
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, feeling uncomfortable that she was not understood by the most important person.
Her eldest sister-in-law is like her mother, and there is no one closer to her than her sister-in-law in this world.
Even her sister-in-law doesn't understand her desire to divorce, who else can?
Oh, that person seems to be eager for her to reconcile.
But Jin Yuan's thoughts were too deep.
She really couldn't believe it.
Ji Zhenzhen said: "Madam, don't be afraid. If you want to go out, Shubao and I can take you out without disturbing anyone. I'm very good at Qinggong."
Yi Huan smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
Ji Zhenzhen said: "Oh, you girls from rich families are like this. You worry about this and worry about that. When you are full and hungry, you will know that nothing is more important than a meal. Dignity and this body, Even for the rest of my life, all those things are worthless and can be sold."
"You are eating royal food now, how can you be full and hungry at the same time?"
"Why not? When we go out to perform missions, it's always fatal. Sometimes we lurk for three to five days without food or water. It's common. We can endure without food, but we absolutely can't endure without water. , you can even drink urine.”
Ji Zhenzhen's world is really something she has never touched before.
"And we are not like you. It is common for us to deal with men outside. Sometimes it is not normal for us to kiss a little girl and call her good brother or something. If you look at me by your sister-in-law's standards, I would probably Do I care about being imprisoned in a pig cage? Huh, women's ethics can't restrain me. It's the greatest blessing that I can have enough food and clothing now."
Yi Huan and Ji Zhenzhen looked at each other.
Ji Zhenzhen's eyes were very innocent, but no one could have imagined that this little girl had already experienced so many things that ordinary people could not bear at a younger age.
The depression in Yi Huan's heart suddenly dissipated, her eyebrows relaxed, and she was about to speak.
"Dudu——"
The door rang twice.
"Aunt, it's me, Yi Ming."
Yi Huan held the window with both hands, stuck his head out, and called out: "Ming'er?"
When Yi Ming saw her, he quickly ran towards the window.
He was holding a vat in his arms, and in the vat was a golden koi carp.
Yi Ming groaned and said: "Aunt, I heard that you and my mother had a fight and my mother grounded you. Is it true?"
Yi Huan asked: "Why, are you so happy to see me grounded?"
Yi Ming shook his head hurriedly and said: "Aunt, this is for you. Don't you like koi the most? This is the most beautiful one. Luo Jinchan caught it and brought it to you to relieve your boredom. Don't talk to me. My mother is generally knowledgeable, but my mother is timid."
