She clapped her hands and said with a grin, "The Marquis of Zhenbei has been imprisoned! He's locked up in jail!"
"My dad's been locked up?" Lin Shixuan asked incredulously.
Given the situation yesterday, his father cleverly shifted the blame onto the servant.
Why did I suddenly get locked up today?
"In that case, Lin Shixuan, move aside, we need to go in!"
"No, you're trespassing!"
Lin Shixuan and several other people were pulling and arguing at the door.
The people were all there to collect their debts, and they were determined to do so, so they didn't care about anything else.
He shoved Lin Shixuan aside, but unfortunately, Lin Shixuan was pushed directly onto the excrement.
He kept gagging and shouting on the side.
The people demanding repayment of their debts stormed directly into the Marquis's residence.
"Whoa whoa whoa..." they shouted as they ran.
"If they don't return the money, smash up their mansion!"
"Yes, living in such a nice house, how could you not have money?"
"He must have taken it to fool around with."
"Smash it."
"Bang!"
"choke!"
"Ping pong!"
"Clang!"
Soon after, the entire Marquis's residence was filled with noise.
Zou Shuang'er carried Zou Wanqing and hurriedly ran out of the front hall.
What happened?
"How did the common people from outside get in?"
Looking at the crowd of people swarming into the courtyard, Zou Shuang'er felt a surge of fear.
"Stop!"
What are you doing?
Why are you here smashing our things?
No matter how loudly Zou Shuang'er shouted, no one paid any attention to her.
Zou Wanqing looked at the once-prosperous Marquis's mansion, now reduced to this state, and a feeling of disgust rose in her heart.
When she was born, the Marquis's mansion was incredibly prosperous, noble, and glorious, extremely wealthy and powerful. Her father would even give her a lot of money every time he saw her mother, to buy her all kinds of clothes.
Smash it!
“Cut down those trees.”
"The paper-cut window decorations in the corridor were also smashed."
"And those gates, smash them all!"
Zou Shuang'er put Zou Wanqing down and shouted angrily, "Stop it, all of you!"
"If you don't stop, I'll report you to the authorities!"
The old woman in the red coarse cloth was the one who had just sold jujube cakes.
She raised her head and walked seriously to Zou Shuang'er.
"Report to the authorities?"
"Go ahead."
"Go for it if you dare!"
"I'm not afraid you won't go!"
"Paying back debts is a matter of course. If you don't pay back, I'll smash your pants!"
"You slut, you've been scheming against the Ye family's daughter for over a decade, and now that you've ousted their first wife, what face do you have to yell at us?"
"If you keep making noise, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The old woman's endless chatter left Zou Shuang'er's face covered in saliva.
Zou Shuang'er kept backing away as she was being sprayed, but the old lady had no intention of shutting up.
"Tsk tsk, your daughter is just as cheap as you!"
"Look at you, how can you compare to even a single finger of the eldest daughter of the Ye family?"
"Pah! Only a blind Marquis of Zhenbei would fall for you. You two are a match made in heaven!"
"I bet you're a fox spirit reincarnated!"
Zou Shuang'er's face flushed red with anger as she was scolded, "You—"
The old woman snorted coldly and turned to the others, saying:
"Smash it! Smash it all! Today, all the jujube cakes from my stall will be given away to everyone!"
Hearing what the old woman said, the others put more force into their hands.
"Haha, okay, you said it yourself."
...
After smashing up the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, and seeing it reduced to ruins with scattered rubble, the group left satisfied.
The already crumbling Marquis's mansion is now facing even greater difficulties.
at night.
Ye Lanyin sat on the pear wood chair, listening to the banging sounds coming from next door, her face full of suspicion.
"Hua Mei, what's going on outside?"
Hua Mei, carrying a pot of flowers, walked up to Ye Lanyin and said, "Madam, the Regent has moved next door."
"The Regent?" Ye Lanyin was somewhat surprised.
It is said that the Regent is an extremely disciplined person.
Every part of the entire palace was designed for him personally.
Why did they move to this other house?
You should know that although the villa has six courtyards and six exits, it is still not as good as the Regent's Palace.
"Madam, I heard it from Mo Qing."
Ye Lanyin was a little suspicious. How did these two suddenly become so familiar?
"Madam, Mo Qing said that His Majesty's study has been burned down, and there is no good place left."
The regent thought a spy had entered the palace, so he rushed in.
"Who knew that His Majesty would leave the Regent to handle state affairs for a month, which is why the Regent hid here."
Ye Lanyin then realized that he had been forced into this situation. She had always thought that he could never truly love a divorced woman like her.
"Alright, Huamei, you should go to sleep too."
Hua Mei stood there, stammering.
Seeing her expression, Ye Lanyin knew it must be related to the children, so she smiled and said, "Go ahead and tell me, I promise I won't punish them."
Upon hearing this, Hua Mei smiled and sat down next to Ye Lanyin.
"Madam, the Marquis's mansion was smashed to pieces today. I heard that there isn't a single good piece of land left inside, and it's even ready for farming."
Ye Lanyin was taken aback. "I didn't ask anyone to smash anything." Everything had already been moved.
Hua Mei said, "It was the Third Young Master and Yao's son. They went to the street and said a few truths, and the people formed cliques after hearing them."
Ye Lanyin knew that bringing Wanwan along was never a good thing.
When they go out, we should remind them to be careful and restrain themselves.
"Does the Marquis of Zhenbei know who in Chang'an was responsible for this?"
"Don't worry, Madam. The Marquis of Zhenbei has been imprisoned and I heard he won't be out until tomorrow," Hua Mei said with a grin, clearly delighted.
"Oh." Ye Lanyin almost spat out her water before she could even finish it.
"He's really unlucky; he keeps running into obstacles."
"He deserved it!"
Ye Lanyin asked again, "Why was he imprisoned?"
Hua Mei replied, "He was accused of disrupting court proceedings, and the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review imprisoned him in a fit of anger."
Ye Lanyin smiled and said, "Serves him right! Tomorrow at midnight, the jailers will all be asleep, so who will open a cell for him?"
Hua Mei chuckled, "That's right, it won't be until the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm afraid he'll remember his imprisonment every year on that day."
Seeing the smug maid, Ye Lanyin reached out and tapped her forehead:
"Alright, you should go and rest too. You don't need to keep watch tonight."
"Madam, what if..."
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is in prison, and his mansion has been vandalized. They're too busy to even take care of themselves, so don't worry."
"good."
After exchanging a few words with Ye Lanyin, Hua Mei happily left the house.
Watching the maid's departing figure, Ye Lanyin fell into deep thought.
The backgrounds of the children truly worried her.
Her entanglement with the regent was more than just a little bit.
But she couldn't understand why the Regent, a man who appeared and disappeared without a trace, would associate with her...
