Chapter 404: What's the problem?
The next day.
Ye Caiping endured the pain and got up, then went to the main hall with Shen Zhiyan to serve tea.
"Mother, have some tea." The couple knelt in front of Old Madam Shen and held up the teacups.
"Great." Old Madam Shen looked at the perfect couple, her face glowing with joy.
Then he gave her a thick red seal and a set of sapphire headpieces.
Ye Caiping also presented gifts to the Marquis Dingguo and his wife, who gave her a pair of jade bracelets.
Then the younger generation saluted.
Ye Jin'er, Ye Huan'er and Shen Manman knelt in front of Ye Caiping: "Dad, Mom, have some tea."
Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan drank the tea with a smile, and gave each of the sisters a ruby hairpin.
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er kowtowed to Old Madam Shen and the wife of Marquis Dingguo again.
Madam Shen smiled and said, "These two girls have changed their surnames, do they want to change their names?"
Ye Caiping looked at Jin'er and Huan'er: "Do you want to change your names?"
Ye Jiner nodded: "Yes, all is fine."
Ye Caiping looked at Shen Zhiyan: "Didn't you say you've thought it through?"
Shen Zhiyan looked at Ye Jiner and her sister: "Jiner will be called Shen Tangjin from now on, and Huaner will be called Shen Qinghuan."
Sister Ye Jin'er said, "Thank you, Dad. We like it very much."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "That's good. I can still call you Jin'er and Huan'er in the future."
These two names sound like those of ladies from noble families. They are indeed cultured people who know how to name things.
Shen Manman asked: "Why not call Tang Jin and Tang Huan?"
Shen Zhiyan: "Because your name is Manman."
Shen Manman: “Oh, I understand.”
It would sound weird if Ye Jin'er's sister was called Tang Jin and Tang Huan, and she was called Manman. So it’s better for the three sisters to be different.
Shen Manman asked again: "Then why not call them Jinjin and Huanhuan?"
"Because Jin'er is more dignified, Tangjin is suitable for her."
Shen Manman pinched her waist and said angrily, “I mean I’m not dignified?”
Shen Zhiyan snorted and flicked her forehead lightly.
Shen Manman cried out in pain, causing Old Madam Shen and the others to burst into laughter.
Shen Zhiyan said, "Mother, brother, Caiping and I will go to the palace to pay our respects to our eldest sister first."
"Okay, you guys go ahead. And Manman and Jin'er, come along too."
Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan smiled at each other, then stood up and left, chatting as they walked:
"When did you come up with names for them?"
"In June or July last year."
"June or July...you...are thinking about it quite early." He's planning on targeting her so early.
"That's right." He chuckled.
Ye Caiping felt sweet in her heart.
Jin'er, Huan'er and Manman followed behind chattering.
After Ye Caiping and her family of five left.
Dingguo Hou said with a sullen face, "When my brother Yan got married yesterday, a funeral procession tried to come over and rammed him. Fortunately, our people were guarding around, but they were stopped by Duanwu."
Old Madam Shen said sullenly, "Humph, this is absurd! Needless to say, it must be her."
Dingguo Hou sneered: "Who else but her? She used to be silent and secretly made some small moves. We didn't bother with her for the sake of Prime Minister Lin. Now..."
"Boss, please go to the Lin family."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Marquis Dingguo immediately took his men to the Lin family.
Prime Minister Lin was still busy with government affairs in the palace, and only Lin Yaxian and Old Madam Lin were at home.
Lin Yaxian's eyes were almost swollen from crying. She had lost a lot of weight during this period.
She didn't sleep well the whole night last night. She was going crazy with hatred just thinking about their wedding night.
Lin Yaxian was sobbing softly, and Old Madam Lin was comforting her.
A maid came in and said, "Old Madam, Madam Second Aunt, Marquis Dingguo wants to see you."
When she heard that they were members of the Shen family, Lin Yaxian's face turned ugly.
Madam Lin frowned, "Why did he come at this time? Doesn't he know that our old master is busy with government affairs in the palace? He thinks everyone is on vacation like him. And he didn't even send an invitation in advance. What's the point of coming here suddenly?"
On the occasion of Shen Zhiyan's wedding, the Queen Mother specially gave Marquis Dingguo three days off.
Madam Lin said unhappily, "Tell him that the old man hasn't come back yet. Come back in the afternoon!"
"yes."
The maid turned and left, but soon, there were bursts of exclamations from outside: "Marquis Dingguo... the old master is not at home... there are only the old lady and the second aunt's wife inside."
"Get out of here!" Marquis Dingguo waved away the maid who was blocking his way and strode in with five or six guards.
Seeing him, Lin Yaxian's expression changed slightly.
Madam Lin was stunned: "Marquis Dingguo... is here to visit me?"
“Hey, who’s visiting you? I’m here to settle accounts with you!” Marquis Dingguo stared at Lin Yaxian coldly, exuding the murderous aura of a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield. “Lin Yaxian, you’re awesome!”
Lin Yaxian's face turned pale: "I, I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Hahaha, you keep denying it! I've already arrested those people. I think it will only take a few lashes for them to confess."
Madam Lin frowned: "Marquis Dingguo...can you tell us what happened first?"
"Humph! Brother Yan got married yesterday. We had already inquired about the surrounding situation and planned the wedding route, but suddenly a funeral procession showed up. The seven-day mourning period hadn't even been completed yet, and they held the funeral early."
"I know exactly what you are up to. You just want to annoy people because you can't bite them. You want to collide the coffin with the sedan chair! Vicious! Too vicious! How can there be such a vicious woman like you?!"
Madam Lin's eyes widened: "What did you say...this...there must be a misunderstanding."
"You are a fool! I have already arrested the man who was holding the funeral. I will send you to prison soon. After you give me evidence, we will see how the higher-ups will sentence you! Even though Brother Yan is not an official now, my sister-in-law is a third-rank official."
"How dare you disrupt the wedding of our Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Third Rank Imperial Edict!"
Lin Yaxian clutched her sleeves tightly.
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Yaxian with disappointment, she was really looking for trouble!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Xian'er couldn't have done such a thing...it must be a coincidence, and...it's just a small matter. There was no real conflict. You are the Dingguo Marquis Mansion...don't you even have this little tolerance?"
"Bah! Don't flatter us! Why, just because we are tolerant, you guys are jumping around like crazy, right?"
"I'm not here to warn you today. I'm here to settle accounts and act wildly! Come on, smash it!"
The guards who came with him immediately started smashing things.
“Ahhhh—stop it! Chen Zhiqiong, this is the Prime Minister’s Mansion!” Madam Lin and her daughter jumped up in fright, and were so angry that they almost had a heart attack.
Marquis Dingguo ignored her and continued to smash and destroy things.
With a "crash", a vase was thrown to the ground, and the armchair, the coffee table... were overturned one by one, and finally the couch where Madam Lin was sitting was blown away.
