When Ye Caiping opened her eyes, she was a divorced woman cast out of her husband's home, with her sister-in-law sharpening her knife at her. It's not that the sister-in-law wouldn't to...
In the end, Shang Xue was given twenty strokes of the cane and then knelt down in front of the Shen family's door to apologize and settle the matter.
The people in the capital were astonished. They weren't pushovers either; it was clearly the ex-wife of Master Shen who was causing trouble.
They actually wanted to use a funeral procession to ram someone's bridal sedan chair—how could they be so vicious!
The Lin family—
The entire Lin family stood in the hall, with Eunuch Yu coldly watching Lin Yaxian:
"Lin Yaxian failed to discipline her servants properly, and the Empress Dowager was furious. She was ordered to slap her twenty times!"
As she spoke, a nanny stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yaxian, grabbing her from both sides.
Madam Lin was so angry she almost fainted, but she stood aside without daring to utter a sound.
"Clap clap clap—"
After being struck twenty times in a row, Lin Yaxian's mouth was full of blood, and she even lost a tooth.
Only after Eunuch Yu and his entourage left did Old Madam Lin rush over, crying, "Xian'er... Xian'er... Please get a doctor! Quickly, please get a doctor!"
Prime Minister Lin said coldly, "Someone, pack Lin Yaxian's things and send her back to her hometown."
Lin Yaxian's expression changed drastically, and she no longer cared about her current disheveled state: "Father... please don't send me away..."
"Grandpa, are you crazy! Lizhou is so far away, it takes a month to get there by boat... I won't allow it!" Old Madam Lin hugged Lin Yaxian tightly.
Prime Minister Lin said coldly, "Then I'll give her another choice. One, return to her hometown of Lizhou; two, become a nun at Chuyun Temple."
Lin Yaxian's body went limp.
Old Madam Lin cried, "How could you be so heartless! That's your own daughter! I won't allow it."
"If you don't agree, then go back with her. Or become nuns together, I won't stop you. Guards, lock Lin Yaxian in her room. Tomorrow she will be sent back to her hometown, Lizhou. Without my permission, she is not to step out of Lizhou. Otherwise, we will sever all ties!"
