Li Lan argued convincingly.

She was crying so hard that she was out of breath, but her speech was still very clear.

Ye Qinghuan has lived for two lifetimes and has seen many shameless people, but he has never seen such a top-notch person!

She took several deep breaths before controlling her emotions and sneered, "According to what Sister-in-law said, is it still my fault?"

"I, I didn't say you were wrong. You just forced me to beat the child for a toy, which was a bit too much. Sister-in-law, you don't have children, so you don't know how painful it is for a mother to beat her own child! The beating hurts the child, but the mother is also hurt..."

"The child is ignorant and takes things without permission. Shouldn't he return them?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

Li Lan choked, but still made sense: "You said he was ignorant..."

"He is ignorant, and his mother is also ignorant?"

"I hit him..."

Ye Qinghuan picked up Shen Mingrui and said, "So beating children is my sister-in-law's way of educating children. How ridiculous! Since my sister-in-law doesn't know how to teach children, don't take care of Rui'er for the time being."

"What? Why do you want to take the child?" Li Lan was horrified and immediately wanted to grab the child. "This is my child, you have no right to interfere!"

Shen Mingrui was frightened by the beating just now, and kept hiding in Ye Qinghuan's arms: "Aunt, save me!"

"You little bastard, don't you know whose belly you crawled out of?" Li Lan cursed.

Ye Qinghuan sneered: "Just because I'm the mistress of the house!"

Just one sentence broke Li Lan's arrogance.

Her face was pale, and she stared at Ye Qinghuan, angry but not daring to say anything.

In a noble family, the mistress is in charge of the inner house and backyard. A powerless concubine like her can only obey the mistress's arrangements.

She came here today to please the new mistress and to slander Su Jinxiu. She never expected that her son would be implicated!

Madam Shen smiled with satisfaction: "Good! Very good!"

"Mother?"

Li Lan's face changed drastically, and when she turned around she saw Old Madam Shen coming.

Her legs became weak and she knelt down: "Mother, please listen to your daughter-in-law's explanation..."

"Shut up! I saw everything!" Old Madam Shen shouted angrily, "Since you don't know how to discipline him, Rui'er will be raised in Fushou Hall from now on!"

"Mother……"

"You come from a poor family, and you have no upbringing at all. You are just like that dead mother-in-law. Rui'er is being led astray by you! Why don't you get out of here?"

Old Madam Shen was not satisfied after scolding Li Lan, so she also scolded her former love rival, Wang.

Li Lan walked away with her head down, like an eggplant hit by frost, not daring to argue.

Su Jinxiu concealed the turmoil in her heart and picked up the jade pomegranate that had been broken into two pieces: "What a pity for such a good thing."

Madam Shen asked the servants to take Shen Mingrui away, and then she frowned and scolded Ye Qinghuan: "How could you let such a big noise happen in the house? How can this be so disgraceful?"

"She is the eldest sister-in-law after all..."

"She doesn't deserve it! If your father-in-law hadn't been drunk, her son wouldn't have been able to become the eldest son."

When talking about the past, there was still hatred in Mrs. Shen's eyes.

Ye Qinghuan couldn't comment on the elders' affairs, so she whispered, "Mother, my wife is not good at managing the household, why don't we..."

"Just treat it as a learning experience today. You handled it well." Old Madam Shen immediately changed her attitude. "I know a skilled craftsman who can help you repair the jade pomegranate."

"Thank you, mother! However, it looks pretty good without being repaired, like a naturally ripe and cracked pomegranate." Ye Qinghuan smiled.

Chunyan quickly took a light green jade plate and put the pomegranates on it.

The green jade plate, the red pomegranate, and a few bright red seeds scattered on it are quite beautiful.

Madam Shen's expression eased: "As long as you feel it's good."

"Mother, please take a seat!" Ye Qinghuan personally arranged the seats and poured tea.

"Have you looked through all those account books?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

"No."

Old Madam Shen was very satisfied: "Not bad, you are worthy of being the child of the Ye family. I made the right choice in choosing you!"

Ye Qinghuan could only smile.

The Ye family is nothing!

If she had a choice, she would not want to be a daughter of the Ye family.

Su Jinxiu felt mixed emotions.

Since she came to the General's Mansion at the age of ten, she began to learn how to manage the household. It took her three years of study and two years of practice before she could master it. But Ye Qinghuan got the hang of it so quickly?

The noble lady from a famous family is indeed worthy of her reputation.

"What Mrs. Li said is right, Qinghuan, it's time for you to have your own child." said Old Madam Shen.

A blush appeared on Ye Qinghuan's face - it was out of embarrassment, not shyness!

First of all, she didn't want to.

Secondly, your son has not returned home, wouldn’t I be afraid of scaring you if I suddenly give birth to a child?

"I know that Lin'er has wronged you these days. I have sent someone to invite him. You should seize the opportunity tonight. You must not let that concubine give birth to a legitimate son before you!" Old Madam Shen said meaningfully.

Ye Qinghuan felt miserable: We have only been married for a few days, can we wait a little longer?

"Madam, Rui'er is already three years old. Mother is very worried." Su Jinxiu said softly.

Ye Qinghuan suddenly thought of something: Su Jinxiu has been Shen Lin's concubine for more than two years, so why is there no movement in her pregnancy?

"I'm an unlucky person." Su Jinxiu noticed Ye Qinghuan's doubt and smiled bitterly at herself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghuan thought she was not feeling well.

It was not until much later that I realized that Su Jinxiu was just a decoration and a tool for the housekeeper. She never got Shen Lin.

.........

That night, Ye Qinghuan went to bed early.

Yet, I couldn't sleep.

She was terrified at the thought of Shen Lin coming back to do that kind of thing with her.

No, I still have to find an excuse to refuse to consummate the marriage with Shen Lin.

"Chunyan, prepare cold water. I want to take a bath."

"cold water?"

"Yes! I have a cold, so the general cannot get close to me."

Chunyan stroked her forehead speechlessly: "Madam, what are you thinking about?"

"Just do as I say." Ye Qinghuan said.

Chunyan said, "You can't pretend to be sick every time the general comes, right?"

"It's better to endure it for a while." Ye Qinghuan gritted his teeth.

Chunyan had no choice but to prepare cold water.

The temperature in Shengjing in early autumn has dropped, with a large temperature difference between day and night. The well water is very cold at night.

As soon as Ye Qinghuan took a bath, he shivered with cold.

"lady……"

"Stop trying to persuade me!"

Chunyan shut up.

Ye Qinghuan slowly got used to the cold water and stopped shivering, but began to sneeze.

"Ah, Ah-"

It should be soaked in place.

Chunyan is a really honest girl. She has become so bad and yet no one wants to try to persuade her.

Ye Qinghuan soaked for a while longer, but couldn't stand the cold any more, so he stood up and said, "Chunyan, give me a towel quickly. I'm freezing!"

"Don't soak for a while?"

A deep male voice sounded, Ye Qinghuan's eyes widened and she slowly turned around.

"what--"

Ye Qinghuan screamed, and sat back into the water with a splash, splashing the cold water all over Shen Lin's face.

Ye Qinghuan's heart was beating wildly, his face was red, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering fiercely: "You, why are you here?"

She was naked! He saw her naked!

How could he do this!

"Mother said you fell ill because of what happened last night, so she asked me to come back to see you." Shen Lin retreated two meters away and sat down, with a smile on his angular face. "Don't you think it's too late to start soaking in cold water now?"

Ye Qinghuan: ………
