"Slap! Slap!"
The Regent Prince released his finger, and the tip of the dagger struck the Marquis of Zhenbei twice.
The cold dagger was pressed tightly against the face of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the aura of impending death filled his entire body. He closed his eyes, not daring to look at the Regent.
Just then, Tian Zhong opened the gate and saw this scene. He hurriedly ran back into the mansion to inform Ye Lanyin.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Lanyin came out immediately.
Upon hearing the familiar footsteps, both the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Regent looked up at the same time.
"Lan Yin?" Marquis Zhenbei excitedly called out to Ye Lan Yin, "Quickly tell the Regent to put down the dagger."
When the Regent saw Ye Lanyin arrive, he did not stop what he was doing, but waited for Ye Lanyin to speak.
"Your Highness, what brings you here on such a cold day?"
"Lanyin, I see some lecherous men lurking around your door."
Ye Lanyin shifted her gaze to the Marquis of Zhenbei, "What are you doing here? I've already divorced you, so don't bother me again."
"Lanyin, I know it's inconvenient for you to raise the children alone right now. I've thought it through. It was my fault before, and I want to make it up to you. No matter whose child it is, come back with me. I will treat them as my own children."
After hearing this, Hua Mei spat on the spot.
"Bah! Marquis of Zhenbei, what do you take our wife for? We've been married for over ten years, and she's been devoted to you, yet you've schemed against her, and now you want her to go back?"
"Have you no shame? What? Is your mistress not virtuous enough? Or is there not enough money for you to squander?"
"Get out of here right now, our lady is not going back."
Hua Mei stretched out her hand and stood directly in front of Ye Lanyin, angrily cursing the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Ye Lanyin. After not seeing her for many days, she had become even more beautiful and charming, and her noble lady aura was impossible to conceal.
I originally thought she would have a difficult time raising her child, but things turned out much better than I imagined.
"Lanyin, I was confused before. It was all Zou Shuang'er's fault for encouraging me. If it weren't for her bad idea, I wouldn't have done it."
"I love you. Over the years, I have genuinely wanted to spend my life with you. I originally intended to abandon my mistress."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's words were full of deep emotion and vivid expression.
Ye Lanyin took a big step back, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
"Lin Dehong, I ask you, sixteen years ago on Zhuque Road, when you bumped into my carriage, did you pick up my letters?"
Marquis Zhenbei was taken aback. Sixteen years ago, he and Ye Lanyin accidentally bumped into each other's carriages. Afterwards, he did find her letter at the spot where she had left.
After learning her identity, he began his pursuit of Ye Lanyin.
Afterwards, he secretly asked someone to investigate Ye Lanyin's whereabouts, and finally got a chance to talk to her at the poetry gathering.
Later, in order to please her, he used all sorts of tricks and finally won her heart.
After getting married, he wanted to pursue an official career, so he used Ye Lanyin's talent to help him. He eventually passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, thus beginning his academic journey.
"Lanyin, what are you saying? We first met at a poetry gathering."
Ye Lanyin sneered, "A poetry gathering? Then let me ask you, how did you know I was going to the poetry gathering? I was invited in by the Princess. What ability do you, the son of a down-on-his-luck merchant, have?"
"I..." The Marquis of Zhenbei froze on the spot, and said guiltily, "I...I was also invited by someone else..."
"Lanyin, why are you bringing up those old stories?"
“I know I’ve lied to you all these years, and it’s understandable that you’re angry, but that was all taught to me by Zou Shuang’er. I never intended to abandon you.”
"The Regent is here today, and I promised him that if we remarry, I will love our children as if they were my own."
Ye Lanyin looked at him calmly.
Hearing these words made my stomach churn, and I felt like vomiting.
"Lin Dehong, Lin Shixuan is currently taking the imperial examinations. Have you asked him about it?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei gritted his teeth at the mere mention of Lin Shixuan.
Recently, the entire Marquis's mansion has been under Lin Shixuan's control, and even his two concubines are completely obedient to him.
Besides attending court, he was also responsible for cultivating the land and doing all the household chores.
If he didn't comply, he would smash the lunch, leaving the whole family without food.
Then take the silver to a restaurant outside for a meal.
He truly regretted his past actions; why did he pass the title to Lin Shixuan?
Because he went to take the imperial examination, he took the opportunity to find Ye Lanyin. If Ye Lanyin was willing to go back with him, then the Marquis's mansion could return to what it was before.
He wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
They say Zou Shuang'er is blessed with good fortune, while Ye Lanyin is destined for misfortune.
He can't worry about that now; as long as he can live a good life, that's good fortune!
“Lanyin, Shixuan is a traitor. He even dared to hit his own father. I no longer want to acknowledge him as my son.”
“He’s clearly my own son, but he’s not as good as Rui’an. Back when Rui’an was in the Marquis’s mansion, he at least knew how to care for me.”
The regent stood to one side, feeling nervous, afraid that Ye Lanyin would go with him.
Just as she was about to speak, Ye Lanyin, as if she had heard a great joke, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and put it in her mouth.
"Hahaha, Lin Dehong, I won't be going to your den of wolves and dogs in your manor."
"Instead of coming to find me, why don't you investigate where your invitation came from sixteen years ago? An invitation to the Princess's banquet is not something an ordinary person can obtain."
Ye Lanyin smiled and looked at the Regent.
"Your Highness, it's cold, you should go back. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Hearing Ye Lanyin's concern, the Regent quickly put away the dagger and said with a smile:
"Okay, Lanyin, I'll listen to you and go back right now."
The ink-blowing figure in the shadows felt ashamed.
The prince is becoming more and more down-to-earth these days.
"Today, I will spare you for Lan Yin's sake!" After saying this, the Regent gestured to Ye Lan Yin, "Lan Yin, you should go back too."
"It's getting cold. Be careful not to catch a cold like last time. It would break my heart."
Seeing the two caring for each other, the Marquis of Zhenbei felt a surge of jealousy.
Could it be that Ye Lanyin has taken a liking to the Regent?
What should I do then?
"The Regent..."
"Shut up, or I'll cut your tongue out!"
After the regent finished speaking with a fierce look in his eyes, he turned around and smiled like a fool, "Lanyin, if you leave, I'll leave too."
"Okay, let's go together then." Ye Lanyin smiled at him.
The two walked hand in hand toward their respective mansion gates.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, standing behind her, raised his hand and called out to Ye Lanyin several times, "Hey... Lanyin... I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Hua Mei stood in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei, raised her leg and stomped the floor in front of him.
"Get out of here right now! You're not welcome here. You'll get what you deserve! Humph!"
"You should just stay with your mistress and live a good life with that scumbag and bitch!!"
"retribution!"
