Lin Chunhuan responded softly. Although Caihuan was confused, she nodded and agreed.
That group of people came here to kill the emperor, so even if they used poison, they would only use poison that could kill people. As for this nerve-paralyzing poison... of course it was her work.
From the very beginning, she was prepared to keep the emperor by her side.
But this time cannot be too long, at most one month, at most half a month. She must accomplish what she wants to do within the limited time!
As for not telling Ke'er, it's not because I'm on guard against her.
On the contrary, no one knows better than Lin Chunhuan how loyal Ke'er is, but Ke'er is smart, and what she wants to do is too risky and too bizarre.
She was afraid Ke'er would stop her.
The best outcome would be to let Ke'er know after everything is settled.
"Miss."
Seeing Ke'er coming, Caihuan quietly stepped aside and continued to sweep the yard. After all, there were only three of them living in the yard, and someone had to do these chores.
Seeing that Ke Er was in a low mood, probably still upset about being spanked, Lin Chun Huan did not ask, but just smiled and responded, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, the old lady invites you over."
Ke'er's tone was sullen, and she was obviously not happy.
After being tormented last time, Nanny Yu learned her lesson and no longer went into the yard. If there was anything, she would just talk outside and leave after that. If Lin Chunhuan didn't show up.
She will also file a complaint in front of the old lady, and on that day, the old lady will torture her even more cruelly!
Lin Chunhuan knew all of this, but unlike before, during this period... she hoped these people would go too far. She reached out and put her arm around Ke'er's shoulders, "Okay, don't be angry."
"This is the Yuan family after all. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Everything will be fine."
"Will it be okay?" Ke'er raised her head, looking very unhappy. "But why do I feel like these days are endless?"
Lin Chunhuan couldn't say too much about this. He comforted Ke'er a few more words and then packed up and went to the old lady's yard.
"Clang..."
Before he even walked in, a teacup had already smashed at Lin Chunhuan's feet, shattering all over the floor. The old lady glared at him angrily, "You're so late, and you still dare to come!"
"When my mother calls me, I dare not refuse."
Lin Chunhuan's tone was light, as if he was frightened. However, the old lady didn't care at all. She snorted coldly, "You dare not? You really don't dare."
"Are you afraid that I will stop you from returning to the Lin family?"
In a few days, it will be the anniversary of Old Master Lin's death. According to the rules, Lin Chunhuan, as a married woman, can go back to pay her respects, but for the past three years, Old Madam Yuan has agreed to this in advance.
When the time comes, he will find various reasons to keep her in the Yuan family.
She had tried to do so in the first few years of her previous life, but even if Yuan's mother let her go, she would send someone to call her back home within an hour or two. Lin Chunhuan didn't understand why before.
But now she knew that this old witch was afraid that she would get too close to her natal family and that the Lin family would notice something and stand up for her!
Lin Chunhuan's eyes were red with grievance. "Condoling the elders is a big deal. My mother is a reasonable person. How could she stop her daughter-in-law?"
Although saying this.
But when she looked at Old Madam Yuan, her eyes were full of hope, for she was afraid that Mrs. Yuan would say something disagreeing.
But the more she did this, the more proud Yuan's mother became.
In this capital, the noble ladies have always looked down on her as the general's wife, thinking that she was from a peasant family and not presentable enough. In the past, for the sake of General Yuan's face, they did not do it so obviously.
But after General Yuan's death, that kind of contempt became even more unscrupulous.
However, every time at the banquet, those people looked down on her, but spoke kindly to Lin Chunhuan, who came from a noble family, and were even very friendly to her. It was such a sharp contrast.
Mother Yuan couldn't do anything about those people, so she blamed all her anger and self-shame on Lin Chunhuan.
The more she saw Lin Chunhuan being tortured and suppressed by her, the happier she became!
"You mean, not letting you go back to the Lin family is unreasonable?" The old lady said in a cold tone.
Taking her cue, the lackey Yu Ma jumped out immediately, "How can the young lady presume on the old lady like that? She really doesn't understand the rules!"
"No, I didn't..."
The panic in Lin Chunhuan's eyes greatly pleased the old lady, "Alright, from today on, you will kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days to reflect on your mistakes. Think carefully about how you should speak to your elders."
"Huan'er, I'm not trying to embarrass you as a mother. I'm trying to teach you how to be a good daughter-in-law. Do you understand?"
Got it you big head!
After these ten days had passed, the day for mourning for grandfather had long passed, and I knew that the old woman had done it on purpose.
Lin Chunhuan rolled his eyes in his heart, but his face showed a look of grievance and forbearance, "Yes, my daughter-in-law understands."
For three or four days in a row, Lin Chunhuan really knelt in the ancestral hall.
Of course, the emperor only waited for three or four days, but during these days it was Caihuan who brought him food and detoxified him. He could not speak, and Caihuan could not speak either. The communication between the two was completely incoherent.
After waiting for a long time for Ke'er to deliver the meal, the emperor finally couldn't help but ask with a frantic look.
"Sir, do you want to ask about my young lady?"
Ke'er is smart, and the emperor's meaning is not difficult for her to understand.
Seeing the emperor blinking desperately, Ke'er sneered, "It's still that old woman. In order to prevent the young lady from returning to her parents' home, she found a trumped-up excuse and punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days."
"But sir, you are lucky. Miss kneels until midnight every day and never forgets to change your medicine and clothes. Otherwise, you would have sores all over your body in the past few days."
Ke'er obviously didn't have much to say. She said a few words and then stopped talking. She raised the meat porridge in her hand and said, "Sir, please eat quickly. Caihuan is out preparing medicine for you today. There are not many people in the courtyard. I have to go to the ancestral hall to bring food to the young lady later."
The emperor was full of doubts and had no idea how to eat it.
He thought he knew Yuan's sister-in-law quite well.
Although she was a country woman, in his impression, Yuan's sister-in-law had always been a warm and generous person. When he and General Yuan were fighting for the world, they would often go to Yuan's house to drink.
Yuan's sister-in-law treated him to good wine and delicious food.
How could such a person be a mean woman who mistreats her daughter-in-law harshly?
Even if Lin Chunhuan was a bad person in every way, he could still bear the fear and rescue him, an unrelated person, from the pile of dead bodies, and hide him here without letting others know.
He seems to be kind and intelligent.
There was no way I would let Sister-in-law Yuan make things so difficult for me.
Is there any misunderstanding here?
The emperor was suspicious, so he pursed his lips and refused to eat, staring at Ke'er with burning eyes.
Ke'er was at her wit's end and suddenly became a little angry, "Sir, it's useless for you to embarrass me like this. If you weren't worried about making the young lady sad, do you think I'm happy to take care of you?"
