Li Yunzhou quickly calmed down and stepped forward to bow respectfully to Lin Wanyin.
"Aunt, just call me Yunzhou."
"I was just passing by and stopped to look at this plaque. Congratulations to my aunt on receiving the Emperor's reward. It's a great honor."
Lin Wanyin had a very good impression of Li Yunzhou and felt they had a good relationship the first time they met. However, today, she felt that his expression was a little different from usual, as if he was worried about something.
"Since we're at the door, let's go in and have a cup of tea." Lin Wanyin said with a smile.
She didn't think much about it, but just thought that if Li Yunzhou had any difficulties, she might be able to give him some advice or help.
Li Yunzhou nodded and followed Lin Wanyin into the room.
Lin Wanyin led him to the hall and ordered someone to serve tea.
Fu'an was sent back by Li Yunzhou.
After Li Yunzhou sat down, he felt a little emotional. If it weren't for the misfortune that happened back then, they would probably be a loving mother and a filial son now.
Fengye brought in tea. Li Yunzhou stood up, took the tea and handed it to Lin Wanyin personally.
He was a guest and the young master of Prince Shan's mansion, so how could Lin Wanyin let him serve tea?
She stood up to decline, and then she heard Li Yunzhou say, "Aunt, I'm the younger generation, this is what I should do."
Li Yunzhou served the tea very respectfully, and his eyes were slightly watery when he looked at Lin Wanyin.
When handing over the tea, his cuffs slipped, revealing the scars on his wrists.
Lin Wanyin saw it at a glance, and suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart.
"How did you get that wrist?"
Li Yunzhou quickly pulled down his sleeves to cover the old scars.
"These are just old injuries from practicing martial arts. They're nothing serious."
Lin Wanyin's face was full of disapproval, "Even if you practice martial arts, you have to apply medicine in time."
"I remember Wuchen has some excellent wound medicine. If you don't mind, I'll send someone to bring it to you tomorrow."
Li Yunzhou sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea. He lowered his eyelids to hide the emotion in his eyes. "Don't mind. I'll get it myself tomorrow."
He then asked Lin Wanyin, "Aunt, are you used to living in this house? Since the emperor bestowed the plaque, the Su family hasn't come to cause trouble again, right?"
Lin Wanyin could hear Li Yunzhou's worry and concern, and suddenly had the illusion that she was chatting with her own nephews or nieces.
"Although this house is small, it is also considered Su Jing. The Su family..."
Before she could finish her words, He Ye hurried in.
"Madam, the Marquis of Pingning has arrived and said he has something important to discuss with you."
Lin Wanyin's face suddenly darkened. "What is he doing here again? Get him out."
He Ye said awkwardly, "Madam, the Marquis of Pingning said that if you don't let him in, he will beat drums and gongs at the door. He said he really has something important to do today, and this is the last time he'll see you."
Li Yunzhou saw Lin Wanyin's face full of impatience, so he asked, "Does the Marquis of Pingning come here often? Is he always so shameless?"
Lin Wanyin shook her head and said, "He doesn't come here very often. The last time he came, he wanted to ask me to get back together with him and return to the Su family. I thought that after I refused, he would stop bothering me."
Li Yunzhou looked unhappy. The person outside must be his biological father. But when he thought about what happened in the Su family over the years, he felt distressed for his mother and sister, but only disgusted with this father.
Lin Wanyin wanted to make things clear with Su Chengye all at once, so she told He Ye, "Please invite Marquis Pingning in." She then said to Li Yunzhou apologetically, "I won't be inviting the Fourth Young Master to dinner today."
Her original intention was to send Li Yunzhou out of the house, but she didn't expect that Li Yunzhou had no intention of leaving at all.
"Aunt, it's not good for others to know that I came to your place. Why don't I hide behind the screen first and leave after Pingning Hou leaves."
Lin Wanyin thought this was a good idea, so she gestured to Li Yunzhou to sit behind the screen for a while.
After a while, He Ye and Feng Ye led Su Chengye in, and they stood behind Lin Wanyin.
The eldest lady ordered them to follow the lady closely, especially when Marquis Pingning came.
Seeing the two maids standing there, Su Chengye waved his hand and said, "You two can go down first."
The two maids stood behind Lin Wanyin, motionless and without even lifting their eyelids.
Lin Wanyin snorted softly, "Marquis Su, this is not your Pingning Marquis Mansion. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, fart quickly."
Facing Su Chengye, she didn't even want to pretend. She wanted to grab a broom and sweep him out.
Su Chengye was not displeased at all, as he was used to Lin Wanyin being like this.
"Wanyin, if you had treated me like this when you married into the Su family, perhaps things wouldn't be like this between us."
"I know I'm not very talented and I'm easily influenced. If you're willing to discipline me and give me advice, I'll definitely listen to you."
Lin Wanyin was like hearing a huge joke, "Su Chengye, are you a cheapskate? I'm marrying a husband, not raising a son. You think it's a good idea, should I always remind you and clean up the mess behind you?"
"What are you doing here today? If you have nothing else to do, please leave. I'm telling you this: this is the last time you'll enter my house."
Even after Lin Wanyin scolded him like this, Su Chengye's expression didn't change at all. He still put on a smile and said, "Wanyin, I only saw your good side after you left. After all, if we divorce, it will affect our daughter's reputation."
"For my daughter's sake, can you give me another chance?"
"I promise that you will have the final say in the Su family's inner house from now on. If you don't allow me to take a concubine, I won't take any. I can even promise that I won't let my mother make things difficult for you."
Lin Wanyin was so irritated by these words that her stomach churned and she felt nauseous.
"Lord Su, are you out of money? Are you treating me like a bank?"
"If you want to talk about this, there's no need to say more. Lotus Leaf, Maple Leaf, ask Su Hou to leave. Also, tell the gatekeeper that Su Hou and the dog are not allowed in from now on."
"As for the dog barking or biting at the door, don't worry. If you provoke it, just beat it up."
After thinking for a moment, she reminded Su Chengye, "Marquis Su, the plaque at my door was bestowed by the emperor. It's okay for you to make trouble at the door of my house, but don't damage the majesty of the imperially bestowed plaque."
"Also, your Su family still has food to eat and your ancestors can rest in peace. You should be grateful. If you make me angry, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
She let Su Chengye in today because she wanted him and the Su family to give up completely.
Su Chengye is a soft-hearted person. As long as the consequences are made clear to him, he will not dare to come.
Sure enough, Lin Wanyin's words made Su Chengye's face change drastically. The consequences she mentioned were indeed something the Su family could not afford.
Lotus Leaf and Maple Leaf walked up to Su Chengye and said, "Lord Su, please come in."
The two girls were skilled in martial arts and were obviously ready to fight if they disagreed.
Seeing this, Su Chengye knew that he would have to return empty-handed today.
Just as he turned around and was about to go out, two servants suddenly came in from outside the door and attacked He Ye and Feng Ye as soon as they entered.
The two men came prepared, and Lotus Leaf and Maple Leaf were overwhelmed and beaten without being able to fight back.
