Back at Furong Courtyard.

Ye Lanyin asked Hua Xin to make tea for Lin Shiming.

They looked every bit the loving mother and filial son.

"Shiming, is what General Yao just said true?"

Lin Shiming was terrified. He bit his lip and said, "Mother."

"son……"

“If you tell the truth, your mother can still help you. But if you lie to your mother again, even if your father protects you, people from outside will still come looking for you.”

"When your secret is exposed, your father will believe it even if he doesn't want to."

"Do you want to be that kind of person in your father's eyes?"

“My son doesn’t want to.” Lin Shiming lowered his head.

Ye Lanyin smiled and pulled him closer, suppressing her disgust as she whispered:

"You and Chang'an are both children who came from your mother's womb."

"Mother knows you get along well with your eldest brother. It's alright. They are all Mother's children. It's normal that you are closer to your eldest brother and Chang'an is closer to your second brother."

"Although your elder brother is an adopted son, he is exceptionally talented. It would be good for you to get closer to him. Mother won't say anything."

"Don't worry about this. Do whatever you want. Your mother is here and will definitely protect you."

Lin Shiming looked up, moved. "Mother, are you telling the truth?"

When has your mother ever lied to you?

"Men will always take wives and concubines. You've just matured a bit earlier. Your mother can't stop you, so she can only protect you. Just remember, in this world, your mother is the one who loves you the most."

"Thank you, Mother. I am so grateful to have you as my child."

"Silly child, your mother and you are destined to be together, it is the blessing of heaven. Remember, you must never cause anyone to die, understand?"

Lin Shiming nodded shyly, "Mother, I understand."

"Okay, let's go back."

"Yes, Mother."

After watching Lin Shiming leave, Ye Lanyin's smile vanished.

We learned this from Lin Wanwan's inner thoughts.

In her past life, she treated Lin Shiming with genuine affection. Knowing that he wanted to become a general, she asked her father and elder brother to personally teach him.

Unexpectedly, he tricked Lin Chang'an into participating in a martial arts competition, which resulted in Lin Chang'an having his arms and legs broken. In the end, he was pushed off a cliff and his body was never found.

After that, she framed Yuqi, claiming that his manhood had been cut off.

What an ingrate!

He doesn't deserve even a shred of her affection.

She clenched her fists, her whole body trembling!

Until Hua Mei came in and took her hand.

Only then did she relax her cold fist.

"Madam, it's time for lunch," Hua Mei said softly.

"good."

...

Ever since the officials learned of Lin Wanwan's abilities, they have all been trying to curry favor with the Marquis of Zhenbei.

That day.

Marquis Zhenbei was completely drunk and felt a surge of displeasure. He stumbled and staggered to Furong Courtyard.

Ye Lanyin was watering flowers outside the courtyard.

"Madam, Madam..."

With two shouts, Ye Lanyin stopped what she was doing and looked towards the door.

She froze when she caught sight of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Shouldn't he be attending court at this time?

How did you get so drunk?

"Madam, I... hiccup~ I miss you."

With a flushed face, the Marquis of Zhenbei staggered around, his blurry vision finally landing on Ye Lanyin opposite him. He walked over with a drunken laugh.

"My lady, let's consummate our marriage tonight."

"Hiccup~"

Hua Xin, who was serving nearby, was stunned.

The Marquis has never touched his wife?

Hua Mei hurriedly handed the child to Hua Xin, walked to Ye Lanyin's side, and protected her behind her.

"My lord, you are drunk. You should go and rest."

"Get out, you lowly servant, how dare you interfere with my good time with my wife!" Marquis Zhenbei waved his hand and pushed Huamei aside.

Ye Lanyin shook her head at Hua Mei.

Hua Mei stomped her feet in frustration.

"My lady, how can you divorce me? Although I haven't loved you all these years, you've managed the Marquis's mansion for me. I've decided, I'll grant you a night of pleasure..."

His breath reeked of alcohol, which made Ye Lanyin frown.

"My lord, you're drunk, so please go back."

"No, how can I go back like this? You went out and had children with those sluts. The last time, I even tolerated having your child. Why won't you accept it?"

"Ye Lanyin, you are really lewd."

"Slap!" Ye Lanyin glared angrily at the man in front of her, her eyes bloodshot.

She clenched her fists, which were trembling.

She must be out of her mind to fall for such a hypocrite.

They plotted to frame me for getting pregnant three times, and still dared to insult me ​​like that.

The Marquis of Zhenbei touched his slapped face, looking injured.

"Madam, you hit me?"

"Don't disgust me, get out!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei swayed his body, spread his arms, and said with a silly grin, "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. My wife must be jealous that I've been neglecting you lately."

"Madam, if you apologize to me and humble yourself to please me, I will definitely treat you well."

He stepped forward again, trying to hug Ye Lanyin.

Ye Lanyin was so frightened that she stepped back.

He grabbed the watering can in front of him and splashed it on the face of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

“My lord, you’re drunk. Let me help you sober up.”

Water was poured all over the face of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The Marquis of Zhenbei touched his face and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's raining?"

"Rain is even better! I will soon be the father of the top scholar, and you will all kneel down from now on!"

When Lin Rui'an arrived, he happened to see this scene.

Without asking any questions, he simply raised one leg and kicked the Marquis of Zhenbei in the groin.

With a thud.

The Marquis of Zhenbei fell flat on his face.

"Ouch! Who bit my penis? You'd better pay with your life!"
