Lin Chunhuan's face changed drastically.
He didn't bother to say anything to the emperor and hurriedly took Ke'er to the main courtyard.
When she arrived, Caihuan had already been captured and forced to kneel on the ground. Her body was covered with wounds, and it was obvious that she had just had a violent conflict with someone.
Standing in front of Caihuan were Yuan's mother who kept crying out "ouch, ouch", Yuan Shaojun with an angry face, and Jiang Linglong who looked sickly.
"What are you doing, my husband?"
Lin Chunhuan stepped forward and pushed the person holding the colorful ring away.
Although the Yuan family disliked her, she was the legitimate young lady of the mansion after all. Even if the people below her did not respect her much in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey her too much in public.
Seeing that she was about to help Caihuan up, no one stopped her.
Throwing away the gauze stuffing Caihuan's mouth, Lin Chunhuan's brows were gloomy. "Caihuan is my dowry maid. I don't know what she did wrong to deserve such punishment from my husband."
While speaking, Lin Chunhuan glanced at the matchmaker who was standing aside and didn't dare to say a word.
No wonder Ke'er is so anxious.
It seems that this time, the Yuan family is determined to give her a warning.
"What did you do wrong?" Yuan Shaojun's face was also very unhappy. He supported Jiang Linglong with his hands with an extremely gentle gesture, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was extremely cold. "You, little girl, injured the guards in the palace. You were so cruel."
"For someone like this, you still want to ask her what she did wrong?"
Lin Chunhuan bit her lip, tears filling her eyes instantly. "Caihuan only attacked me to protect me from leaving the house. If my mother hadn't forbidden me to leave the house, how could Caihuan have injured the guards?"
"Look, son, look!"
Upon hearing Lin Chunhuan's words, Yuan's mother screamed even louder, "Mother has already told her clearly that Linglong is weak, and that the execution ground is for mourning the dead, which is very unlucky."
"I was just afraid she would bring bad luck back home and pass it on to Linglong, so I said a few words to stop her. Now I, as a mother, am at fault!"
I don’t know if it was intentional, but as soon as Yuan’s mother finished speaking, Jiang Linglong, who had been silent, coughed twice at the right time.
Yuan Shaojun's rage intensified when it came to Jiang Linglong. He looked at Lin Chunhuan with a fierce look in his eyes. "Is this why you disobeyed your mother and allowed your servants to injure the guards?"
"Lin Chunhuan, I originally thought that since you have no say in marriage matters, it would be fine for you and me to just keep our distance. I didn't expect you to be so jealous."
"What do you mean by mourning for grandfather? I think you sincerely don't want Linglong to be well!"
Lin Chunhuan was speechless for a moment.
The incident of breaking out of the house by force in the previous life did not happen. She had never directly disobeyed Yuan's mother's orders. If she had not wanted to break the emperor's defenses this time, she would not have taken such an extreme step.
Although she knew from the beginning that this struggle would not succeed.
But now the direction of things is better than she expected... With a flutter, she fell to her knees, her eyes stubborn, "Husband, since you think of me like this in your heart, I, Lin Chunhuan, have no way to refute it."
"I disobeyed my mother-in-law and injured the guards. I admit it. From today on, I will kneel in the ancestral hall to atone for my sin. As for Jiang Linglong... she's just a cousin staying with me. If you like, feel free to take her in as a concubine."
"Why bring it to the front and humiliate me, the mistress of the house!"
Upon hearing this, before Yuan Shaojun and his mother could say anything, Jiang Linglong's expression changed. "What are you talking about, cousin... cough cough cough... My cousin and I are innocent, how could you, how could you make me your concubine!"
"If you don't want to be a concubine, do you want to replace me and become the main wife?"
There was a hint of sneer in Lin Chun's tone when he finished speaking.
She did not miss the flash of light in Jiang Linglong's eyes, but the words Jiang Linglong said were completely different. She lowered her head with an aggrieved look, as weak as a little white flower, "Cousin, you misunderstood me and my cousin."
"Cousin, I'm afraid you think everyone is blind and can't see you..."
"alright!"
Without giving Lin Chunhuan a chance to finish his words, Yuan Shaojun's face was as gloomy as water. "If you want to kneel in the ancestral hall, go ahead and kneel. No one will stop you."
"But if you continue to throw dirty water on Linglong, I'll be rude to you!"
polite?
Does Yuan Shao think he has ever been polite?
Lin Chunhuan sneered and stood up. "I don't care what's going on between you two, but I'm putting my words here today."
"Cai Huan is mine, and her indenture is also in my possession. You, the Yuan family, have no right to touch her. If you do, I will file a complaint with my father. Let's see who is disgraced, me, Lin Chun Huan, or your Yuan family!"
"Ke'er, hold on to Caihuan, let's go."
After finishing what he needed to say, Lin Chunhuan turned around and left with the two maids, leaving the Yuan family's faces turning pale.
Mother Yuan tugged at Yuan Shaojun's sleeve in frustration, "Oh my God... What sin did our Yuan family commit to allow our son to marry such a vicious woman!"
"Mom is old and can't even hold her grandchildren, and now even her daughter-in-law wants to ride on my head and poop and pee!"
Yuan Shaojun was still watching the stubborn figure gradually walk away. The anger in his heart was real, but he couldn't help but pay more attention. Hearing such vulgar words, his brows frowned even more tightly, "Mother."
"You are now a noble lady with a royal decree, so be careful with your words... What are you saying in front of the servants?"
Yuan's mother was stunned.
She had already felt that she was looked down upon by the noble ladies of Kyoto, and now that even her own son was saying the same thing about her, she became even more furious. "Now even you look down on me, don't you? You unfilial son! Unfilial son!"
Yuan's mother chased Yuan Shaojun and beat and scolded him.
He was completely oblivious to the impatience on his son's face and the flash of disgust in Jiang Linglong's eyes.
Lin Chunhuan took the two of them back to Pianxi Garden.
As soon as she entered the door, Ke'er called her.
Turning around, I found Caihuan signing, "There's a stranger in the yard."
'There seems to be no ill intention.'
A stranger with no ill intentions?
Lin Chunhuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. He shook his head and said softly, "Since there's no ill intention, let's just pretend we don't know. Anyway, there's nothing worth worrying about in our West Garden."
Caihuan’s martial arts skills are very strong, but this is the general’s mansion after all.
Not to mention the servants in the mansion, the guards were all veterans who had retired from the battlefield with General Yuan. Lin Chunhuan respected them very much.
That's why he ordered Caihuan not to really hurt the guards in the mansion.
Otherwise, with Yuan Shaojun's mediocre skills, if Caihuan wanted to escape, he would have no chance of catching her.
But it’s better this way... There are some things that the emperor should know more clearly.
In the servants' room in the West Garden, the lights in the emperor's room had been blown out, and from the outside it was pitch black, but at this time, there was one more person in the room.
