After a while, Ke'er led an old woman in. She was the nanny beside Old Madam Yuan, and her surname was Yu.
"Oh, the old lady asked you, the young lady, to behave properly. It's not even time yet, why did you come back by yourself?" Nanny Yu spoke in a sarcastic tone.
It was obvious that he didn't take the young lady Lin Chunhuan seriously at all.
Lin Chunhuan raised her eyes and met Yu Ma's gaze. "I don't think I've done anything wrong and need to follow the rules. If you want me to serve that old man, let Yuan Shaojun come in person."
"You...what did you say! How dare you say that the old lady is immortal!" Yu Ma's face was full of shock. When she heard Lin Chunhuan's words, she even forgot her anger for a moment.
Everyone knows that the Lin family is a noble family that values rules the most and treats their elders with the utmost respect.
At first, the old lady was a little afraid of Lin Chunhuan's family. Although she was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law being a hen that didn't lay eggs, she didn't dare to go too far. She tried her best to save face.
But as time went on, they discovered that Lin Chunhuan was tightly bound by the rules of her upbringing. She respected her mother-in-law and obeyed her husband's teachings, which made her have no thoughts of resistance, let alone going home to complain.
The more they mess with people, the more unscrupulous they become.
Now that Lin Chunhuan had shown signs of rebellion, after the initial shock, Nanny Yu was overwhelmed with endless anger, staring at Lin Chunhuan with her eyes fixed.
Lin Chunhuan seemed oblivious, his arms resting on the table, his chin supported by one hand. "Well, I told you, you old fool."
"You bitch, today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the old lady for being disrespectful to your mother-in-law!"
Nanny Yu was furious. She took a step forward and raised her hand to slap Lin Chunhuan in the face!
However, before she could slap the person, a petite figure appeared from nowhere. When Nanny Yu noticed her, the person had already been pushed heavily to the ground.
Lin Chunhuan's smile grew even wider. "Cai Huan's skills have improved significantly recently."
Caihuan was another maid who came with her into the Yuan family as a dowry.
This girl is petite, but she is born with supernatural powers, which were specially arranged for her by her father.
After all, General Yuan was a founding father of the country, so the Lin family couldn't make their arrangements too obvious, otherwise they would be caught by someone with ulterior motives and would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
That's why she arranged for Ke'er and Caihuan to marry with her, one of them was smart and the other was brave, to protect her.
In the past, she couldn't see through all this and ignored Ke'er's earnest advice. She even explicitly forbade Caihuan from attacking anyone from the Yuan family.
Now that I think about it, I simply trampled on my parents' hard work!
Fortunately, it won’t happen now. Lin Chunhuan pinched the colorful ring and smiled shyly. If you have a backer, you don’t have to be a fool!
"Madame Yu, this is the first time. If you act arrogantly in this courtyard again, I will have your arms and legs broken." Seeing the increasingly terrified look in Madame Yu's eyes, Lin Chunhuan felt bored. "Caihuan, throw him out."
Lin Chunhuan has never been a good person.
On the contrary, she has been rebellious since she was a child. If her parents had not put in good intentions and instilled good beliefs into her mind one by one, hoping that she could integrate into this society, she would not know what she would become.
But now... she knew that her parents were doing this for her own good, but she had tried to use kindness on the mother and son of the Yuan family. Only fear worked!
She didn't warn Nanny Yu about anything.
The reputation of being virtuous, generous, and weak and easily bullied still serves her well.
In six days, it will be the old witch's 50th birthday. The emperor respects the widow of his close friend very much and will definitely be present. That will be her only chance to see the emperor in recent times.
And if she remembered correctly, the emperor would be assassinated at this birthday banquet!
We must make good use of it.
I don’t know if Nanny Yu’s complaint worked, but no one came to the west courtyard to cause trouble the whole afternoon.
But Lin Chunhuan also knew very well that the old witch would not watch the bully in her hands escape from her control.
Sure enough, in the evening, Yuan Shao came angrily to question him.
It's funny to say that after three years of marriage, the two have met no more than ten times.
Except for the wedding night, Yuan Shaojun disliked her as boring and never touched her again.
As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Shaojun was dumbfounded. She was wearing a simple, even monotonous, blue dress, a white jade hairpin, and no lipstick or makeup.
Lin Chunhuan just sat on the recliner and read a book casually.
But in the flickering candlelight, her black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was fair and smooth, and without any makeup her complexion was like the morning glow reflecting on the snow, as bright as the peach blossoms on the branches.
Just one glance and Yuan Shaojun was stunned.
After three years of marriage, he had never realized that Lin Chunhuan was so beautiful.
For a moment, I even forgot what I came here for and just stood there in a daze without saying a word.
"Why is my husband here?"
Lin Chunhuan feigned surprise as he stood up and walked in front of Yuan Shaojun. The scent of her body instantly distracted Yuan Shaojun, and the question he was about to blurt out softened, "Let me... take a look at you."
"My dear husband, please don't try to trick me. I'm afraid that my mother-in-law has said a lot of bad things about me today." Lin Chunhuan looked sad and raised her hand to reveal the scar from being scalded by boiling tea two days ago.
"I know I didn't behave properly today, but the injuries on my body really hurt..."
Before Lin Chunhuan could finish her words, Yuan Shaojun had already turned away and looked away. "I understand. You should rest well. I, I will go and explain to mother."
Seeing Yuan Shaojun's back as he left, which looked like he was fleeing in panic, Lin Chunhuan smiled with pursed lips. She didn't care at all whether he would really explain or not.
In addition to being mediocre in talent, Yuan Shao was also foolishly filial.
Although she didn't know what happened today, she didn't think that this man would really think about her. She delusionally thought that this mother and son could change their gender, how could that be possible.
But now is not the time to break up with this mother and son. The emperor is also a man. As long as he is a man, there is no man who does not like a weak, pitiful, pure and innocent woman. She has to leave a chance... a chance for the emperor to save Fengchen.
After leaving Pianxi Garden, Yuan Shaojun slapped himself in the face.
"Yuan Shaojun! How can you have such thoughts about a woman other than Linglong!" Although he said this, he only paused for a while.
Lin Chunhuan's appearance just now appeared in his mind again, delicate and tearful, with her collarbone full of seductive charm.
After returning to his room and pouring several basins of cold water over himself, he finally calmed down his thoughts, packed up and went to the old lady's residence.
"What?! That woman dismissed you with just two simple sentences!"
