Liangchen had already been beaten with twenty boards. The old woman dragged the dying Liangchen in. Lin Yuxi smelled blood and her stomach churned. She covered her nose and turned her head away to avoid looking at her miserable state.

Yang Chenchuan had a cold face, and he didn't even look at her. He just ordered: "Take her away, and find someone to watch her. I want to see how long she can hold out. It doesn't matter if she doesn't confess, I have a lot of punishment waiting for her."

Poor Liangchen's mouth was blocked, she couldn't speak, her face was pale, and she looked at Yang Chenchuan sadly, but the other party didn't even look at her. He only had eyes for Lin Yuxi and was helping her sit down.

She suddenly felt that everything she had done before was meaningless. She thought she could get the young master's attention, even for just a glance, and she would be willing to die for it.

Lin Yuxi saw the nostalgia and despair on Liangchen's face before he left, but she had no sympathy at all. She really hated these people. She looked up at Yang Chenchuan and asked:

"Husband, let's leave after this matter is settled, take mother with us, and live our own lives. Living in calculations day and night, I can't even sleep peacefully. I really don't want to stay here any longer."

Lin Yuxi's idea was actually very simple. She couldn't outsmart them, so she would just hide!

Stay away from them and have no contact with them anymore.

She just wants to live a peaceful life, she doesn't care about power.

Yang Chenchuan caressed her face distressedly, his heart was also struggling, he didn't spend too much time with his family, but this was always his home, his roots, he never thought of leaving unless it was absolutely necessary.

Then, these days, he saw the cruel deeds they did, which really chilled his heart.

"Okay!" he responded.

Lin Yuxi smiled sweetly, feeling very grateful, and hugged him tightly.

Over there, Luyun and Cuiping looked at each other, then tactfully retreated without disturbing them.

As they were about to leave, a servant came running over, saw the two of them stop, and said to them, "Sisters, the Second Madam just sent someone to tell the Second Young Master and Second Young Madam to go."

The two looked at each other, and Cuiping asked, "Do you know what it's about?"

The servant shook his head. How could they, as servants, be involved in their masters' affairs?

Cuiping agreed, sent the servant away and went back.

Lin Yuxi responded, tidied up her appearance simply, and left Tingyu Pavilion with Yang Chenchuan.

When I arrived at the second lady's courtyard, I found that even the first lady, Diwu Xufang, and Chen Ying'er were there.

Chen Ying'er's eyelids were moist as she secretly looked at Yang Chenchuan with admiration in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that it was against the rules and lowered her head shyly.

Lin Yuxi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yang Chenchuan. She had known Chen Ying'er's feelings for Yang Chenchuan for a long time. Every time she looked at Yang Chenchuan, her eyes were burning, but compared to today, there was an extra touch of ambiguity.

ambiguous!

Lin Yuxi seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that there was something going on between him and Chen Ying'er that she didn't know about.

The two of them exchanged greetings one by one, and the Second Madam waved to Lin Yuxi again. Lin Yuxi sat beside her obediently and asked:

"What's the matter that my mother asked me and my husband to come here for?"

The Second Madam gave her a glare, "Does it mean you have something going on? If there is nothing going on, you can't let me miss you guys!"

She grinned and nodded repeatedly: "How could it be? It's Yuxi's fault. She usually monopolizes her husband and makes mother worried. In the future, I will definitely stop pestering my husband and let him spend more time with me."

The second lady patted the back of her hand and laughed.

The first lady over there was a little dissatisfied when she saw that the second lady didn't talk about the main matter, but she still smiled and said: "You two are in love, which is what your mother is most happy to see. It's not your fault. In my opinion, it's more important for you to have a grandson as soon as possible."

You're really bringing up something that's not relevant to the topic!

However, the only people in this room who knew about her illness were Yang Chenchuan and the Second Madam.

Lin Yuxi was not afraid of them speaking out, she lowered her head pretending to be shy, and the eldest lady said a few more appropriate words.

Finally, the eldest lady couldn't continue speaking, so she gathered her thoughts and said with a smile: "Originally, I shouldn't have asked you to come for this matter, but the old lady gave it to me to handle. I thought that my sister is Erlang's biological mother after all, and there are some things I should discuss with you."

The eldest lady drank a sip of tea and continued, "In a few days, County Magistrate Chen will come to pick up Ying'er and discuss the matter. I asked you to come here to ask for your opinions."

The Second Madam's face darkened when she heard that. She looked at Lin Yuxi. They had said the day before that they had ways to deal with it, but she didn't know how to do it specifically. So she called them both over to remind them to prepare what they needed to prepare and deal with what they needed to deal with.

Lin Yuxi knew what the second wife meant, so she smiled and said to the first wife: "Auntie, the marriage of our children is decided by the elders. My husband is the groom, and Miss Chen is the bride. I am not afraid of my husband's thick skin, but Miss Chen..."

After she said this, Chen Ying'er, who was originally very interested, felt embarrassed.

Yes! Marriage is a matter for the elders, and as a girl, she should avoid suspicion. But now she has come here specially to listen to the news, isn't that against the rules?

A daughter of an official family doesn't even know such rules. Wouldn't she be laughed at if it got out?

Chen Ying'er's ears turned red and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to raise it again.

The smile on the eldest lady's face froze for a moment, and she covered her nose with an embroidered handkerchief to hide her embarrassment, and said unnaturally: "Hey, look at how anxious I am, I even forgot that Ying'er is still here, it's really my fault."

Lin Yuxi curled her lips. The eldest lady's words really seemed to be an attempt to cover up something. She blinked her eyes and said nonchalantly:

"Actually, it's up to you, mother. I've never been in charge of these things, so how would I know? I'm just causing trouble for you."

The eldest lady certainly didn't think that Lin Yuxi would help. As she said, she had never presided over these matters. When she was in the Lin family, she was also the target of oppression by her stepmother. How could she achieve anything?

The eldest lady never took her seriously at all.

She was just causing trouble for her, and she could also do Chen Ying'er a favor at the same time.

Chen Ying'er was close to Diwu Xufang, so she knew some things. Moreover, Chen Ying'er was a daughter of an official family, and now that the position of the principal wife was suppressed by a little concubine, she must be unhappy.

Although Chen Ying'er's uncle's position in the capital was lower than her father's, he was still a good candidate for winning over. With her family joining, her mother's family's power would be even greater. Why not?
