Lin Yulan and her servant had just returned to Chunhui Garden when someone from Yanshou Hall came over and said, "The old lady wants to invite Madam Hou over!"

Lin Yulan's heart sank. It was not such a coincidence that they would know about it as soon as she came back. It was obvious that the old lady had sent someone to keep an eye on her.

The old lady wouldn't stare at her for no reason and wait for her to come back and shout, "Are the Fu mother and daughter complaining again?"

She could guess what the Fu mother and daughter had said without having to think about it.

"Xiao Qu, go to the outer study and tell them that the old lady might cause trouble for me. Please ask Shao Ke to go find the Marquis. If the Marquis is available, please ask him to return quickly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Qu was a little frightened, "Madam, how about we not go to Yanshou Hall? Let's wait until the Marquis comes back?"

Lin Yulan shook her head. "If I don't go, the old lady will have more reason to find fault..."

Xiaoqu had nothing to say, so she had to go out quickly to pass the message, and she had to quietly avoid Cailian and the others.

Lin Yulan took Cai Lian with her.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Shao Zhixin, who was sitting next to Old Madam Shao, showing her a smug smile. Fu was also sitting below her, raising her eyebrows in ridicule.

Lin Yulan knelt down and bowed: "Greetings to the old lady."

Madam Shao's face was tense, her eyes were full of sharpness, "Humph, pay your respects? How can I pay my respects with a granddaughter-in-law like you? Sooner or later, you will make this mansion a mess!"

Lin Yulan raised her eyes and said, "Madam, I wonder what my granddaughter-in-law did wrong?"

"You dare to talk back? Get down on your knees!"

Lin Yulan froze, lowered her head and knelt down silently.

Fu curled her lips in contempt and sneered silently. She thought she was so tough, but she had to obey the old lady.

Yes, if she dared to disobey the old lady, it would be disobedience. Even if the old lady asked someone to teach her a lesson, she would have to accept it obediently.

Seeing that she was obedient, Madam Shao was also pleased and sneered, "Do you know you are wrong now? Why were you so unreliable when you were in the Duke of Rong's Mansion? You are bringing shame to our mansion! Fortunately, the wife of the Duke of Rong's Mansion was fine, otherwise, even if I beat you to death, it would not be enough to compensate you! You are such a disgrace, you are really not worthy of being on the stage."

Old Madam Shao's voice and expression were stern, and the more she scolded, the harsher and more mean it became, as if Lin Yulan was an unforgivable criminal.

Even though Lin Yulan had prepared herself mentally, it was still hard for her to endure such harsh and unscrupulous scolding.

"We can't just let today's incident go. We have to teach you a lesson! Lin, are you convinced?"

Not only did you humiliate her without giving any explanation, but you also asked her whether she was convinced or not?

Fu chuckled and said slowly, "Lin, the old lady is flattering you. You don't know anything, and it's your blessing that the old lady is willing to teach you. This is something that others can't ask for. Don't be ungrateful and thank the old lady quickly."

Lin Yulan tilted her head to look at her: "Second Aunt, it was clearly Second Aunt who took my younger sister to the Duke Rong's Mansion today. No matter what she did, shouldn't Second Aunt have something to say?"

Fu got angry when she heard this and sneered, "What can I say? Aren't you sisters? I thought you had a good relationship and she wanted to go, so I took her there. Who knew she was thicker-skinned than a city wall, not to mention she was not presentable and only caused trouble. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to be so kind!"

Lin Yulan: "My sister came to my house to see me yesterday, and she was talking about this matter. I turned her down and told her that I didn't know anything and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of her and make a fool of myself. I didn't expect Second Aunt to take her away. If Second Aunt had told me in advance, I would have stopped it, and nothing would have happened later. Now everything is blamed on me, old lady, I am absolutely not convinced!"

Shao Zhixin was furious: "This is really taking your kindness for granted. My mother only has good intentions. She is not as cunning and thoughtful as my sister-in-law. Since my sister-in-law knew that Madam Meng was unreliable, she should have kept a close eye on her. In the final analysis, it is my sister-in-law who is not careful enough and blames my mother! Madam, my mother is so wronged!"

Madam Shao glanced at Lin Yulan and said coldly, "Xin'er is right, Lin, your second aunt is kind-hearted and you shouldn't treat her like this. She doesn't understand your legitimate sister, and you don't understand her? Since you know who she is, you should have kept an eye on her! This matter is all your fault! I think you deliberately indulged your legitimate sister just to have an excuse to blame her, right? This is too hateful!"

"Don't you think that this will also implicate our Wuwei Marquis Mansion? Do you really regard yourself as the new daughter-in-law of the Wuwei Marquis Mansion?"

Mrs. Fu sneered complacently: "Who knows what she is thinking? We are honest people, but we don't have so many thoughts. Old Madam, I am afraid. I dare not take her out again in the future, otherwise she will blame me again, and I will have no place to complain."

Madam Shao: "She causes trouble whenever she goes out, so she will naturally not go out again. It is better for her to stay in the mansion and learn everything she should learn first. Otherwise, she will be embarrassed again!"

Madam Shao defined the matter without further explanation, and beat Lin Yulan to death with a stick. She said coldly, "Ms. Lin, today I will punish you to kneel in the yard for two hours, so that you can reflect on your mistakes! Hurry up and go."

Lin Yulan felt cold in her heart.

She knew it was useless to try to figure it out, but she still did it.

She couldn't just let others push her around without any resistance.

She knew it long ago. They said whatever they wanted to say, and she was not allowed to judge. No matter what she said, whether it made sense or not, they had no intention of listening.

There is really no peace anywhere.

She knelt in the yard for two hours, and all the servants coming and going saw it. How could she, as the marquis's wife, still maintain her dignity?

She was originally a new bride, with no foundation or prestige in the mansion. How could she face people in the future?

After this, who would take her seriously? Who wouldn't step on her?

"Madam, my granddaughter-in-law is not convinced."

"what!"

"Even if the granddaughter-in-law is at fault, she is not guilty of such a crime. Besides, no matter how innocent the second aunt is, she cannot be said to have done nothing wrong. The old lady is unfair, and the granddaughter-in-law is not convinced."

"How dare you! How dare you in front of our elders? You are a young lady from a scholarly family. Is this what your parents taught you?"

"The old lady is unfair, and the granddaughter-in-law will not accept it no matter what."

"shut up!"

Mrs. Shao could no longer bear it, so she grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it at Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan slightly turned her body, and the teacup brushed past her forehead, then smashed into pieces on the ground behind her with a "clang".

A streak of bright red blood oozed out from her forehead and flowed down her temples.

"Ah! Blood, blood, bleeding!"

Shao Zhixin screamed, turned her head away and covered her face, not daring to look.

Everyone in the room was shocked!
