Old Madam Shen's expression became increasingly gloomy, and everyone held their breath.

Even Li Lan didn't dare to say anything and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.

The huge house was so quiet that only the faint sobbing of little Rui'er could be heard, looking as pitiful as a kitten.

Madam Shen took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Lin'er, what do you say?"

Shen Lin held Shen Mingrui in his arms, his face as cold as ice.

Ever since he entered Fu Shou Tang and took the child away, he never looked at her as a mother again.

Until this point I remember being named.

"Rui'er is my eldest brother's child. If anyone dares to hurt him again, I will never let him go!"

Shen Lin uttered some harsh words and left with Shen Mingrui in his arms.

Li Lan wanted to follow, but she didn't dare.

It was Shen Lin who called her, "Sister-in-law, get up!"

She looked at Old Madam Shen timidly, then stood up and trotted out.

Su Jinxiu lowered her eyes, walked behind Old Madam Shen, and massaged her shoulders.

Old Madam Shen was furious.

The son is disobedient and the bride threatens her. How unreasonable!

Without the new bride as housekeeper, will the general's mansion collapse?

Old Madam Shen laughed in anger: "Okay, okay! This is what you said! Jinxiu, get the key!"

"Mother……"

Su Jinxiu's eyes turned red with embarrassment, and she said to Ye Qinghuan: "Madam, just admit your mistake..."

"No need."

Ye Qinghuan got up, took out the key and handed it to Su Jinxiu.

"If you have nothing else to do, I won't disturb your rest."

Ye Qinghuan just left without waiting for Madam Shen's consent.

Su Jinxiu was stunned, and the maids in the room looked at each other.

Is the mistress going to break up with the old lady?

How bold! Is it the general who gave you the confidence?

Everyone was guessing in their hearts, and Madam Shen was furious, her chest heaving violently.

Su Jinxiu quickly consoled her: "Mother, your health is very important..."

"She's fine!" Old Madam Shen slammed the table so hard that the teacups clinked.

Seeing her outburst, Su Jinxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved everyone away: "Everyone, go down!"

"Yes."

Madam Shen drank half a cup of tea before she came to her senses and asked, "Jinxiu, do you think they are teaming up to deal with me?"

"That's impossible? Madam and Brother Lin haven't consummated their marriage yet!" Su Jinxiu said in a low voice.

"What if she wanted to please Shen Lin?" Old Madam Shen snorted, "They came from Jinfeng Courtyard one after another tonight."

"This is hard to tell. But mother, if Madam can please Brother Lin, it would be a good thing!" Su Jinxiu said in a low voice.

"Humph, I want an obedient daughter-in-law. Not one who will disobey me!" Old Madam Shen put the teacup heavily back on the table. "Jinxiu, send someone to Jinfeng Courtyard to keep an eye on her and Shen Lin to see how far they have come."

"Yes!"

……

The night deepens and the autumn wind becomes chilly.

Ye Qinghuan was already feeling uncomfortable after taking a cold shower, and then he went out in the wind, so he developed a fever when he returned home.

"Chun Yu, go get the doctor. Do it quietly so as not to disturb Fu Shou Yuan. Chun Yan, give me another blanket."

"Alas, Madam, you shouldn't take a cold bath." Chunyan got two hot water bottles and gave them to Ye Qinghuan to cover her mouth, "And you shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the first house."

"I don't care. The blame will fall on me sooner or later. It's better to distance myself from it as soon as possible." Ye Qinghuan smiled bitterly.

It's said that being the mistress of a wealthy family is not easy, right? She had only taken office for the first day, and so many things had happened.

Fortunately, she was smart and returned the warehouse key based on Rui'er's matter.

"I'm afraid that I will be alienated from the old lady and my life will be difficult in the future." Chunyan sighed.

The husband doesn't come home, the mother-in-law is unhappy, and the household power is in the hands of the concubine.

No wonder the eldest daughter would rather be a concubine in a marquis's mansion than marry into a general's mansion.

Poor second young lady, she has no support from her parents and can only tread on thin ice on her own.

Chunyan almost cried just thinking about it.

Ye Qinghuan held the hot water bottle and smiled nonchalantly: "We are not short of money, so let's just live our own lives!"

"But, but..."

"Okay, I don't need my husband's love or my mother-in-law's care. I just need to be myself and live a good life!"

Shen Lin, who had just come from Songyuan, was originally planning to settle accounts with Ye Qinghuan. Hearing this, he stopped outside the door.

Don't need him? Don't need mother-in-law either?

Could it be that she had never taken sides and he had misunderstood her?

Thinking of how she gave up her housekeeper rights for Rui'er tonight, Shen Lin's cold expression softened a little.

"Chunyan, I'm still cold. Please add another quilt." Ye Qinglan's soft voice was tinged with a strong nasal tone.

Is she sick?

Shen Lin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the door open.

"General!" Chunyan was overjoyed.

Shen Lin stood by the bed condescendingly, looking at Ye Qinghuan: "Why?"

"Ok?"

Ye Qinghuan was burned so much that his reaction was slow and he blinked in confusion.

Her cheeks are as red as blooming roses, and her almond-shaped eyes are watery and misty, like the most docile little doe.

Just a blink of an eye was enough to hit Shen Lin's heart.

Sensing that he was different, Shen Lin looked away and asked, "Why do you want to give up your housekeeping rights to help your sister-in-law?"

"The child is innocent. Although I don't like my sister-in-law, I have never thought of hurting her."

Ye Qinghuan: This is the truth.

Even men don't care about competing, so why would she care about Li Lan?

Shen Lin was silent for a while, then said, "You are the principal wife, the mistress, so you should be the one managing the household. I will go talk to my mother tomorrow."

"Please do not!"

Ye Qinghuan shook his head, trying to get rid of the dizziness, but ended up feeling even more dizzy.

She simply sat up and put her face in her hands.

Shen Lin was so touched by the cuteness of this new look that his heart skipped a beat.

He coughed unnaturally and asked, "What do you want?"

"Alive."

Ye Qinghuan giggled, his eyes becoming more and more confused.

Shen Lin suspected that she was confused due to the fever and was talking nonsense.

Ye Qinghuan raised her hand and touched his face: "General Shen, you have to live well too!"

Shen Lin's face changed drastically.

How did she know he was in danger?

Is it...

Shen Lin grabbed her hand tightly and asked sternly, "Ye Qinghuan, who do you belong to?"

"I, I am, A-choo—"

Ye Qinghuan sneezed loudly, and then fell down magnificently.

Passed out from the fever!

Shen Lin is still waiting for the answer!

"Ye Qinghuan, wake up. Who did you want to talk about just now?" Shen Lin shook Ye Qinghuan hard.

Chunyan felt distressed: "General, the lady has fainted from the fever, please let her go..."

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, then he realized how inappropriate his behavior was.

Well, that thing has just begun, it won’t be too late to ask her after she wakes up.

But if he knew that Ye Qinghuan was following and monitoring him, he would definitely strangle her to death with his own hands!
