Mrs. Han's face turned pale instantly, like the lonely snow on the plains, with a certain sorrow and resentment in her paleness. "Then...then my son—"
Lin Yitang threw away the tissue in her hand, her long eyelashes trembling, with a kind of beautiful fragility, but giving people a decisiveness that was completely different from her appearance. "Your son used such means to tease me. It is not only disrespectful to the elders, but also an insult to women. I think it is necessary to make him suffer. What do you think, Madam Han?"
After these words came out, Madam Han could no longer hold back. She eagerly grabbed Lin Yitang's hand, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks. "Madam Wen, my son was careless. He just thought it was another woman and didn't know that person was you."
Lin Yitang's expression grew increasingly stern. He pulled his hand away and lowered his voice. "You're saying that if it was any other woman with Wen Hangxing that day, you would have sentenced her to death simply for not satisfying your son's filthy and ugly desires? Madam Han, as a woman myself, I don't understand why you have such strong malice towards people of the same sex."
Although Mrs. Han didn't quite understand the reason for Lin Yitang's displeasure, she was always good at judging the situation and knew that the man in front of her was not going to end well. Her already frail body trembled, like a willow in the wind, and she seemed about to faint at any moment. "Mrs. Wen, please let him go. I can't live without him. I know I was wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf."
She has a petite appearance and often appears to be sickly and weak at home. Whenever she frowns, she can arouse people's pity. This trick often produces extremely effective results when dealing with others. Even her philandering husband will return home in an instant to comfort her when she uses this trick, so she almost thinks that Lin Yitong will fall for it.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Lin Yitang knew very well what the person in front of her wanted to do. He just wanted to make her compromise by showing weakness. No, perhaps it should be said that there was also a mixture of coercion.
After all, there are so many people waiting in the side hall, and there will always be some people who will feel sympathy for such people. If she, as a lady, wants to establish a gentle and generous image in front of everyone, she will inevitably have some concerns.
Thinking of this, Lin Yitang couldn't help but sigh that it turned out that Mrs. Han Er had some tricks up her sleeve. Why didn't Han Yuan learn from her?
Lin Yitang suddenly became interested in looking at the servants waiting here. When he looked up, he saw that everyone had their heads down, with the same calm expression on their faces, as if they didn't notice anything. Lin Yitang received the butler's look that said "Don't worry, I have trained them well", and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Come to think of it, these servants of the Wen family have received good training after all, and most of them are similar to the retainers in ancient times, so they are devoted to their master and will not have any emotions because of other people. In addition, those who can stay in such a house are all smart people, and they can easily see the poor acting skills of Mrs. Han Er.
However, if Lin Yitang really happened, it wouldn't matter. She could just give him some compensation and let him go. She wouldn't even need to do it herself, the housekeeper would naturally handle it.
While Lin Yitang was thinking about this, Madam Han's self-torture tactics did not stop. Seeing that Lin Yitang did not react, she looked at Wen Hangxing beside her with tears in her eyes, hiding the resentment in her eyes, "Master Hangxing, it was wrong, but he was indeed careless. You have also vented your anger. Please forgive him."
Wen Hangxing made no secret of his disgust. He reached out and took the fruit knife from the table, playing with it, the thin blade spinning in his hand. "You don't need to seek my forgiveness. After all, it wasn't me that Han Yuan offended."
Lin Yitang watched calmly as Mrs. Han's face froze. She thought it was really funny. At the beginning, she came here to get an explanation, but when she found out that Han Yuan was harassing her, she only wanted to ask for forgiveness. She no longer had any thoughts of asking the Wen family for compensation.
It turns out that power is the hard currency in this world.
Madam Han Er turned her moist eyes to the housekeeper and the servants standing beside them, but they all lowered their eyes and did not look at her.
Madam Han gritted her teeth, what a bunch of fools who are inflexible and have never seen the world!
So he had no choice but to look at Lin Yitang again, calmed himself down and said, "Madam Wen, I know you have a kind heart. You also know that the Han family and the Wen family have some intersections, and they are both in Changcheng. Maybe they will meet in the business world, so I hope you won't make things awkward for everyone."
Lin Yitang looked at her carefully, then suddenly asked, "Can you make the decision?"
Second Madam Han, however, thought this was another threat. She straightened up and wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief. Her words were unusually firm. "You seem to have some information. Then I'll be frank. No matter how out of character Yuanyuan is, he is the only grandson of the Han family's direct line and the nephew of the patriarch. The Han family will protect him."
Wen Hangxing sneered, "Just him? I remember the relationship between the second and third houses wasn't very harmonious, right? Do you really think he would vent his anger on you?"
Madam Han II brushed her forehead with her hand, remembering her brother-in-law's often cold face. Even though she was extremely uncertain, she couldn't retreat now. Her eyes were firm, "Of course."
Lin Yitang interrupted him, "In that case, let Patriarch Han come and talk to me in person. There's no need to bother Madam Han to come visit me on this matter."
Madam Han's newly made nails dug into her flesh, and she angrily asked, "It's just a small matter. Do you really want to make a big fuss about it? What good will this do you?!"
Lin Yitang's usually gentle expression turned cold. "Then just assume that I'm unhappy, Madam Han. Let me remind you, even if you don't like it, I have to bear it. My status is obvious and I can show it off. If you show a subtle look of contempt next time, it's fine if I don't notice it, but if I do, I'm afraid I'll explode."
After saying that, he looked at the butler beside him and said, "Uncle Liu, please show the guest out!"
The housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward, his tone seemingly polite but actually coercing, "Second Madam Han, please."
Mrs. Han was originally frightened by Lin Yitang's momentum and froze in place, not daring to move. Now she stood up in a serious manner and planned to leave as if escaping.
Wen Hangxing stood up to stop the housekeeper and looked at Madam Han, revealing her sinister white teeth. "Anyone who comes is a guest. I'll see them off."
"Thank you very much, Master."
The housekeeper took a step back obediently, revealing Mrs. Han Er with a look of despair on her face.
Wen Hangxing's peach blossom eyes curved slightly, revealing a pure and kind smile, "Second Madam Han, let's go."
