The group had just reached the entrance of the front hall.
Then they heard angry curses coming from inside.
"Mother, I don't want to be his father for even a day longer, this bastard son of mine."
"It was a mistake to only send the healthy ones to the mass grave. We should have lied and said they were stillborn and strangled them directly."
"Ever since Lin Wanwan survived, we haven't had a single day of peace."
"Look at this mess!"
Marquis Zhenbei lay on the wooden frame, grumbling and complaining. He wanted to get up, but couldn't move.
The old lady sat down in a chair, furious.
"Alright, what's done is done, what's the point of saying anything more?"
"Now let's think about how to bring Shuang'er and Wanqing back to their ancestral home."
"Mother, let's talk about it after Shixuan becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination."
He didn't want Lin Wanwan to stay in the Marquis's mansion for even a day longer.
With Wanqing, Shiming, and Shixuan around, he had nothing to fear.
When Shixuan becomes the top scholar, will he still be afraid of not having a general with good connections to pave the way for Shiming?
snort.
He wants both literary and martial skills!
"What's wrong with you, my lord?"
Ye Lanyin's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
The old man and the Marquis of Zhenbei were startled.
The old lady asked guiltily, "How long...how long have you been here?"
"You just arrived?" Ye Lanyin asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, look at you! What a fine son you've raised! Yesterday, he took Lin Wanwan out to play, and he actually took the opportunity to defile those little girls."
"It caused me to be beaten up by those old foxes in the imperial court."
"Ouch, my body is almost broken, I can't even get up." The Marquis of Zhenbei moved, and all the bones in his body felt like they were about to fall apart.
Ye Lanyin frowned.
"My lord, who are you referring to?"
"Lin Chang'an!" he cursed angrily.
Ye Lanyin's face turned pale as she looked at Lin Chang'an.
Lin Chang'an immediately waved his hand, "No, Mother, I didn't. I was with my sister all day yesterday."
Hearing his words, Ye Lanyin looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei, "My lord, my son said no."
"Bullshit!" Marquis Zhenbei cursed. "This unfilial son used to be the little tyrant of Bianjing, and now he's still lying all the time."
"Today, no matter how much you protect her, she must be punished according to family law! Such a rebellious son would have been burned to death long ago in the past."
Ye Lanyin was furious when she heard this.
She immediately shielded Lin Chang'an behind her.
“My lord, I know my son very well. If he says it’s not true, then it’s definitely not true. There must be a misunderstanding.”
"Tell me then, which noble lady did he bully?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei snorted coldly.
"The daughter of the Grand Master of the Imperial Sacrifices was only three years old, how could he bring himself to harm her?"
"And what about the daughter of the Minister of State Ceremonies? She's only five years old, and he's asking her to have a secret rendezvous with him?"
"Ye Lanyin, Lin Chang'an has been raised by you since birth. You've spoiled him rotten, and now he's doing such a lewd thing."
"Today, I will absolutely not tolerate this."
The Marquis of Zhenbei, half-reclining with the help of his servants, glared angrily at Lin Chang'an.
"Guards, drag this unfilial son out, give him thirty lashes, and then make him kneel in the ancestral hall."
"No one is allowed to eat without my permission."
Even though Lin Chang'an used to be a little tyrant, he was still a little scared when he saw the ferocious face of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
He burst into tears, crying, "It wasn't me, I didn't!"
"Why do you assume it's me? Lin Shiming went out yesterday too. When I was playing with my sister, Lin Shiming was nowhere to be found."
Why does Father only suspect me?
Lin Chang'an burst into tears, and Hua Xin hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her.
"Don't cry, Third Young Master. You're not afraid if you haven't done anything wrong." Hua Xin wiped away his tears.
Hearing the crying, Ye Lanyin's heart clenched.
"My lord, summon Shih-ming as well, and get to the bottom of this!"
"Hmph, it's the same no matter who they call. They're twins, one a hopeless case, the other well-behaved since childhood." Having studied with Lin Shixuan, how could they do such a thing?
[That scumbag! So what if he's cute?!]
[He secretly read pornographic books and started going to brothels at the age of nine.]
[May your adorable nature be passed down through generations!]
Ye Lanyin was initially quite angry.
Hearing Lin Wanwan's words, he almost burst out laughing.
"Hua Mei, go and call Shi Ming here."
"Yes, madam."
Not long after, Hua Mei arrived with a reluctant Shi Ming.
Shiming was slightly taken aback when he saw so many people.
"Father, Mother."
Looking at the Zhenbei Hou Hall on the wooden frame, he was somewhat puzzled.
What's wrong with you?
The Marquis of Zhenbei did not answer his question, but instead asked:
"Shiming, your father is asking you, did you go out with your third brother and Wanwan yesterday?"
"yes."
"See, Lanyin, he didn't do it at all!" Zhenbei Hou turned his head to meet Ye Lanyin's incredulous gaze.
Ye Lanyin looked at Lin Shiming, her voice slightly stern.
"Shiming, did you do anything out of line when you took your sister out yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shixuan shrank back, and said guiltily, "No...no."
Seeing Lin Shiming so frightened by Ye Lanyin's question, the old lady felt extremely distressed.
She waved.
"Shiming, come here to your grandmother."
"No? Think carefully, have you talked to any girls, or... touched them?"
Lin Shiming walked to the old lady's side and nestled into her arms.
