Hua Xin and Hua Mei covered their mouths and chuckled, and even the Regent couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Yao Qianshu is indeed adorable when he doesn't scheme against himself.
Ye Lanyin panicked.
If we offend Prime Minister Jiang, it will be difficult for my father to be in a position.
The Regent coughed lightly and then took the cloth bag from Mo Qing's hand.
"Lanyin, I was just here to bring Wanwan a milk bottle."
"I didn't expect you to have guests."
The regent was quite experienced in feigning ignorance.
They seized the opportunity, and the excuse was just right.
Ye Lanyin didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Isn't this a rhetorical question?
"Yeah, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, okay, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Ye Lanyin trembled, "No...no."
Lin Wanwan was overjoyed. Her milk bottle had been broken just yesterday, and she had a new one today, a gift from her father.
[Happy, happy!]
The Regent walked up to Lin Wanwan and handed it to her with a smile.
Do you like it?
"Hehe~ Happy~"
The little one opened his arms and jumped straight into the Regent's arms.
【Daddy Daddy Daddy~】
[Hurry up and marry your mother!]
Otherwise, someone else will steal it!
The Regent blushed and glanced at Ye Lanyin.
Thinking of Lin Wanwan's thoughts, if I can hear them, then Ye Lanyin probably can too.
What was she thinking?
Suddenly, he noticed a faint blush rising on Ye Lanyin's face.
It seems we need to step up our efforts.
When Zou Shuang'er brought Madam Lin back, the Marquis of Zhenbei was lying on his bed, wailing in pain.
He'd been given thirty lashes; how could he possibly get up?
We're just waiting for Mother to go to Ping'an Prefecture to collect some rewards, which she can then exchange for silver to buy some tonics.
"Dehong, Dehong."
The old lady's voice came from outside the house before she even arrived.
"That damned Ye Lanyin, she's a heartless bastard."
"They've been living and eating in our manor for years, and now that they're divorced, they're actually living a very comfortable life outside."
"Today, when Mother went to collect some rewards, she chased her away with a broom."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked utterly dejected, his eyes trembling with pain.
His face contorted in pain upon hearing the old lady's words.
"Mother, what did you say? She's living such a good life?"
The old lady approached, saw her son's appearance, and began to cry again.
The entire mansion was smashed to pieces by the common people, and Master Xuanchan had also broken a lot of things when he came here to do divination and feng shui last time.
The Marquis's mansion is now just an empty shell. Apart from some tables and chairs, almost all the other porcelain is gone, not to mention the flowers, plants, and paintings.
"Waaaaah, Dehong, what on earth is going on?"
“My mother is still my mother-in-law, yet she dared to offend her elders and say that I don’t deserve those rewards.”
Marquis Zhenbei endured the pain and said, "Did you say that I was beaten in exchange for this?"
"I've told you, I've told you, Mother has told you, but it's no use."
The old lady sat to one side, crying and slapping her thigh.
"It's outrageous! Our Marquis's mansion has raised such an ungrateful wretch."
“What did Mother say back then? We can’t let her leave. Now we have no servants, the Marquis’s mansion has fallen on hard times, and we can’t even afford to eat.”
Back when Ye Lanyin was around.
Where would they need to raise these things?
"Mother, His Majesty withheld my salary from last month today. We're really going to starve this month."
Upon hearing this, Zou Shuang'er exclaimed in alarm, "Then what should we do, sir?"
"We can't just starve to death, can we?"
"Don't you have several farmlands outside? Why don't you sell them and we can get some grain in return?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei glared at Zou Shuang'er and roared:
"It's all your fault. You insisted on going to Yingchun Pavilion to compete with those courtesans and expose your identity."
Are you satisfied with how things have turned out?
Zou Shuang'er looked aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face.
"Master... Shuang'er also... also loves you too much, there's nothing I can do."
"Don't you think Ye Lanyin is acting strangely? For the past ten years or so, she has been docile and obedient, but she has changed ever since Lin Wanwan was born."
Reminded by Zou Shuang'er, the Marquis of Zhenbei also thought back for a moment.
yes.
Over the past year, Ye Lanyin has become quite unusual.
She began to wield real power, moving her dowry, investigating the cook, beating servants to death, taking concubines, praying for blessings, returning to her parents' home, and befriending handkerchiefs—a series of things she would never have done before.
She must have changed her mind; she betrayed me a long time ago.
He deliberately used the excuse of keeping a mistress to divorce himself.
Throughout history, which man hasn't had multiple wives and concubines? Why is it that Ye Lanyin is the only one who can't accept it?
"Mother, find a reliable person to secretly check on Ye Lanyin and see which scoundrel she's with."
The old lady paused in thought.
"You mean, she's having an affair?"
“That’s right. She used to love me deeply. How could she change her mind so easily? There’s only one reason: she’s seeing someone else.”
"Hmph, if that's really the case, Mother will definitely stand up for you and make sure she's utterly disgraced!"
Zou Shuang'er then said:
"Then, sir, what should we do now?"
"If we don't sell our land, we'll just starve to death."
"There's no food left in the kitchen, and Wanqing didn't get enough to eat yesterday."
Thinking of Zou Wanqing, the Marquis of Zhenbei was filled with anger again.
He was punished by His Majesty today because she set fire to the sacrificial altar yesterday, and now she still wants to eat?
Do you know what she did yesterday?
Zou Shuang'er asked, "What did she do?"
