Xie Qingyao heard about the Duke Rong's Mansion sending the "Female Admonitions and Female Virtues".
"The Liu family will only become more overbearing in the future if they continue to act this way. Linghui is likely to suffer a serious setback."
"Yin Huaiqing's three brothers couldn't stop Liu from torturing her daughter-in-law. Yin Huaiqing is probably doomed too. He can't protect Linghui."
Xie Qingyao flipped through the book with one hand and held a teacup with the other, speaking leisurely.
But He Linghui just wouldn't listen.
He Zheng said calmly without even looking up, "That was her own choice. No one else can be blamed for the consequences."
So cold-blooded?
Xie Qingyao stretched out her hand to block the place where he was about to write.
He Zheng: “…”
Only then did he look up, put down his pen, and look at Xie Qingyao from the side.
Xie Qingyao held up her chin, smiled at him and asked, "If our daughter encountered something like this, wouldn't you say the same thing?"
He Zheng: "That's different. I will have someone break Yin Huaiqing's legs."
"The Duke of Rong's Mansion has its own rules, and the Marquis of An's Mansion also has its own rules."
"If you want to marry this marquis's daughter, you can't be a loser who can't even protect the one he loves."
Xie Qingyao smiled brightly upon hearing this and pulled He Zheng's hand, "Well done, that's what we should do."
"Whoever touches our people will be shown what it means to protect one's own people."
There was a hint of emotion in He Zheng's eyes and a faint smile.
Xie Qingyao: "If we intervene openly in this matter, the eldest wife won't listen, and will think we are meddling and trying to break up a couple."
"But that Liu is really too bullying. We can't let her act so recklessly. She thinks that the girl from our mansion has no one to back her up and can do whatever she wants."
He Zheng raised his eyelids and spoke slowly, "I'll have someone go and punish Minister Yin, Liu's husband. If he can't control his wife, he deserves to lose his official hat in the future."
Xie Qingyao's eyes were bright and playful, "That would be great."
After all, he is our own junior, so we have to protect him.
It doesn’t matter to her whether others appreciate it or not, as long as she has a clear conscience.
It was mainly because of Liu's behavior, which she looked down upon, and she had to curb Liu's arrogance.
He Linghui made an appointment with Yin Huaiqing the next day and told him what his mother Liu had done.
"That's really a bit too offensive. What did I do wrong? Do I need to memorize those two books by heart?"
He Linghui blushed and scolded him, her tone shy like a little girl, but also a little aggrieved.
Yin Huaiqing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after he told his mother, she would still do this behind his back.
Yin Huaiqing's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Seeing this, He Linghui's heart skipped a beat, worried that she had made him unhappy.
She immediately softened her tone, "Okay, I'm not blaming your mother, I just feel a little wronged."
Yin Huaiqing was touched by her understanding and said hurriedly, "It's my mother's fault for not handling this matter properly. Don't worry, Linghui. Although my mother is a bit strict, she doesn't have a bad temper. Over time, you'll find that she's very easy to get along with."
He Linghui: “…”
She felt that maybe Liu was not as good as he said.
But in the end, He Linghui did not offend him or refute him.
She just smiled and said, "That's good. I feel relieved with your words, Yin Lang."
"And I know that with Yin Lang here, I won't be wronged."
After returning to the Duke of Rong's Mansion, the smile on Yin Huaiqing's face gradually disappeared, and he went to ask Liu why she did that.
"Mother, you clearly promised me, how could you go back on your word?"
Liu frowned slightly. "Huaiqing, are you questioning your mother now because of a girl from outside? Are you going to bring an army to your mother and accuse her?"
Yin Huaiqing froze, and immediately lowered his head and said, "My son doesn't dare."
Mrs. Liu softened her expression and said, "Mother didn't mean to embarrass her, she just wanted to test her."
"She's not willing to do even this little thing, Huaiqing, this girl doesn't like you enough."
"A well-educated and sensible girl who truly loves you would consider you and not let you be caught between her and your mother."
"That girl from the He family only cares about her own happiness and doesn't think about you at all."
Hearing these words, Yin Huaiqing felt a surge of complex and obscure emotions in his heart.
Yes, if He Linghui really liked him enough, she wouldn't react so strongly.
Yin Huaiqing's face looked very bad. He pursed his lips and said, "Mother, please don't do this anymore."
"When Linghui comes home, mother will teach her the rules and regulations. She will understand mother's painstaking efforts."
"My son promises not to say a word then."
The corners of Liu's lips curled up into a smile, "Okay, mother promises you."
After all, he is her son and he always sides with her.
No matter how capable He Linghui is, she can't escape from her Five Finger Mountain.
Before Liu could be happy for long, her husband, Minister Yin, came back with a gloomy face.
Minister Yin raised his head and drank all the tea on the table, then threw the teacup down heavily.
Liu's eyelids kept twitching, and she asked hurriedly, "Husband, what happened to make you so angry?"
Liu was a very dignified figure who acted arrogantly in front of her son and daughter-in-law, but she did not dare to be arrogant in front of Minister Yin.
Minister Yin's expression turned stern. "It's you who set the rules for others. You set the rules every day, but you don't even look at whose daughter is sitting across from you."
"Even though we are the Duke of Rong's Mansion, we are the daughter of the Marquis of An's Mansion. You can't just set rules and act like a mother-in-law!"
"My superiors have given me a subtle reminder to correct the family tradition and not let my wife get into trouble. If she loses her official hat, she won't know where to cry."
"Who else can I ask my superiors to criticize me? It can only be the Marquis of Anguo."
"He Linghui, she's the niece of Marquis Anguo. How can you bully her? Stop it right there."
Liu felt extremely aggrieved.
The first three daughters-in-law all had to obey, but this one, Miss He, came from a powerful family and was restless.
Liu: "My dear husband, I understand. Our two families are relatives, not enemies. I will handle this matter properly."
After this incident, Liu became much more restrained and sober.
Liu invited Li and He Linghui to Ruyi Restaurant for dinner and chat. The atmosphere was harmonious and no one mentioned the previous unpleasantness.
Returning to the Marquis' Mansion, He Linghui smiled and said, "I knew Yin Lang would protect me. He has put in a lot of effort to protect me, and even Liu has become more friendly to me."
Her heart is sweet.
"Who told you it was Yin Huaiqing's credit?" He Siyu's voice interrupted.
