If he let them know that he climbed into bed in the middle of the night and was punched by his wife as if he were a thief, he would be too ashamed to face them again.
This kind of thing must be kept secret.
Bei Yutang also said to Hongmei and others outside: "Hongmei, you all go back to sleep, everything is fine here."
"Yes, Miss." Hongmei and others responded.
Seeing that Lin hadn't left yet, Nanny Wang smiled and said, "Old Madam, you should go back and rest early. I think the son-in-law and the others will take care of the rats and the like."
After hearing what she said, Lin Shi felt it was not appropriate to stay at the door any longer and turned back to her room.
Fu Yi Bo in the room looked at her with a miserable expression, covering his eyes with his hands in pain.
Bei Yutang said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Yibo. I thought it was a thief, so I attacked. Are you okay?"
Fu Yibo saw that she felt guilty and that it was not intentional, so he could only endure the pain and pretend that nothing happened, "No, it's okay."
"Why did you suddenly come here out of nowhere?" Bei Yutang was not going to let him go and was ready to get to the bottom of it.
Fu Yibo was still angry, thinking that she was too harsh, but when he heard her ask this, he immediately felt guilty.
"I saw a mouse next to your bed and wanted to come over to kill it, but I didn't know..." Fu Yibo explained guiltily.
Bei Yutang continued, "Oh my god, there really are rats. Tomorrow I'll have Hongmei and the others put rat poison in every corner of the house. If we don't get rid of these rats, nothing in the house will be safe."
"This rat is really something. It caused you to get hurt." Bei Yutang kept complaining.
Fu Yibo was still thinking that while he was injured and she was feeling guilty, he could just go to her bed. However, she didn't say a word, which made Fu Yibo very depressed. He returned to his couch in a bad mood.
The next morning, everyone saw that Fu Yi Bo had a black circle under his eyes, as if he had been beaten.
Lin was distressed and asked, "What's going on?"
Although he asked this, he looked at Bei Yutang with an unfriendly look, clearly asking her to give him an explanation.
Hongmei and others frowned.
Bei Yutang didn't say anything, but Fu Yibo quickly said, "Mom, this is all because of the rat yesterday. I was chasing the rat and accidentally hit my eye."
Lin naturally believed what her son said. Even though this matter had nothing to do with Bei Yutang, she still blamed Bei Yutang in her heart.
"How can you be asked to do something like chasing rats? You are a scholar, you need to maintain good health and pass the imperial examinations."
Hongmei and others were unhappy when they heard this.
It turns out that the son-in-law, a grown man, doesn't want to catch mice, but instead wants their daughter to catch mice.
As simple as Nanny Liu was, she understood the implicit meaning of Lin's words.
Bei Yutang acted as if she hadn't heard Lin's complaints. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'll have Wang Ma and the others go to the store to buy some rat poison today."
Lin wanted to say something, but when she saw the unhappy faces of Hongmei and others, she immediately swallowed her unhappiness.
Lin felt uncomfortable, thinking that with so many outsiders in the house, it felt as if this house belonged to her, Bei Yutang. No, she had to find a way to kick those two maids and the old woman out.
In this way, Bei Yutang would be at her mercy.
