Qin Baochen looks fair and gentle, but he is actually the most cruel and ruthless person.

This is also the reason why Shen Lin did not bring Yu Wu, but took him back to the border quietly - under the Bone Piercing Lock, no one dares to disobey!

As soon as the first nail was put in, Wang Yingyong couldn't stand it anymore and confessed: "Yes, it's the Duke of Zhenguo... Zhao Yu!"

"Very good! Very good..." Shen Lin laughed angrily.

Zhao Yu's hand has stretched too far, it should be chopped off!

Qin Baochen forced Wang Yingyong to send a letter to the Duke of Zhenguo via carrier pigeon before he put him in custody.

Shen Lin summoned two young generals he had trained into the camp, redeployed the defense, and changed the battle plan.

It was almost dawn when I finished my work.

Shen Lin stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance at the horizon in the depths of the vast yellow sand, where a hint of red was about to appear, feeling heavy-hearted.

"Fortunately, the general is wise and came back early." Qin Baochen came up behind him and asked, "Are you getting along well with your new wife?"

When Ye Qinghuan was suddenly mentioned, a rare tenderness appeared on Shen Lin's face.

Thanks to her reminder, Wang Yingyong was found out.

"she's fine."

"I also think that Madam is a wonderful person." Qin Baochen smiled.

Shen Lin rolled his eyes at him: "There should be a limit to flattery. You haven't even been with her before."

"General, you may not know that before you got married, your wife asked me to go to the Ye Mansion to preside over a small case." Qin Baochen said.

Shen Lin raised his eyebrows and became interested: "Tell me about it."

"That day, just after nightfall, my wife came to the government office and asked for help, saying that someone was trying to steal her dowry. I happened to be passing by, and thinking that the dowry was being carried to your house, I went over.

At midnight, Madam Ye's wet nurse went to her courtyard to put incense and then exchanged some boxes of stones for the real dowry.

Normally, the bailiffs should have taken action when the incense was poured. But the lady refused to allow them to do so. They waited until the real dowry was replaced and the charges were confirmed before they started to make trouble. This left them no room for excuses.

Mrs. Ye had no choice but to kill her own wet nurse to protect herself. From then on, she never dared to think about the dowry again. "

After hearing this, Shen Lin was stunned and murmured: "She never mentioned it..."

Not only the dowry, she never told him anything about herself, and even the poisoning was only revealed to him when he asked.

Suddenly I felt that I had failed in my duty as a husband.

"Madam is brave and resourceful, independent and tolerant, and she doesn't seem like an old lady," said Qin Baochen.

Shen Lin couldn't help showing a mocking expression when he thought of her repeated refusal to sleep with him.

Is she more than just magnanimous?

It’s just like the vast ocean - boundless!

----

The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the second and third wives came to the East Courtyard early in the morning to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

The whole family is reunited and it is very lively.

But they ignored Ye Qinghuan.

This nephew's wife is not only stingy, but also treacherous! For a gambling debt of a few thousand taels of silver, she stabbed them all over.

Anyway, Su Jinxiu is the one in charge now, so it doesn’t matter if she is the one to be cared for.

Qin and Yu tried their best to please Su Jinxiu.

"Jinxiu, there are so many things to do today and I'm going to have to trouble you again."

"Alas, this huge house is fortunately managed by someone!"

"If everyone is like some people who only think about enjoying themselves and are unwilling to give, what a mess this family will be in."

"Look at our Jinxiu's talent, appearance, and ability... At the beginning, my sister-in-law asked you to be a concubine, which was really unfair to you."

"Jinxiu is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, and was raised by the old lady herself. Of course, she is better than a concubine's daughter."

"..."

The Yu and Qin families put on a show, looking down on those below them and looking up to those above them, and every word they wrote was meant to suppress Ye Qinghuan.

Su Jinxiu looked embarrassed, but she actually felt happy in her heart.

It turns out that everyone is not blind and has seen her contribution to this family!

Maybe one day in the future, Brother Lin will be able to see the goodness of her efforts and make peace with her.

Thinking about her future with her sweetheart, Su Jinxiu worked more vigorously.

It was not until Old Madam Shen came out and scolded them that Yu and Qin stopped talking.

"Sister-in-law, will Rong'er come back this Mid-Autumn Festival?" Yu asked.

"Not coming."

When mentioning her youngest son Shen Rong, deep sadness appeared in Old Madam Shen's eyes.

Yu sighed: "Alas, it's been several years, and Rong'er still refuses to go home..."

"Poor Rong'er, if his leg hadn't been injured, he should have been fighting on the battlefield like Lin'er." Qin pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Su Jinxiu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly said with a smile, "Please stop talking about the Third Master, and talk about something else."

Qin and Yu looked at each other knowingly and apologized to Old Madam Shen.

"Sister-in-law, we are talking too much."

"We miss Rong'er too. He has a broken leg and is all alone. He is really pitiful..."

Su Jinxiu's eyebrows twitched: Still talking! Still talking!

Suddenly seeing the familiar figures of Li Lan and Shen Mingrui, Su Jinxiu took the opportunity to change the subject: "The young master is here."

"Rui'er, come to grandma." Old Madam Shen waved kindly.

Shen Mingrui ran over and saluted obediently: "Greetings, Grandmother!"

"Today is a holiday, Ruier can eat whatever he wants."

"Thank you grandma."

On this special day, the adorable three-year-old child reminded Old Madam Shen of Shen Rong again.

When Shen Rong was a child, she was even cuter than Shen Mingrui!

pity……

"Madam, the tributes are ready and waiting for your inspection." The housekeeper came to call, and Su Jinxiu went to check.

When she passed by Li Lan, she heard Li Lan whisper: "Hurry up and finish your work and come to watch the show. It will be good for you."

Su Jinxiu was confused.

Li Lan has always been at odds with her, why is she taking the initiative to make peace with her today?

"Madam, the dishes and chopsticks for the banquet have not been ordered from the warehouse yet."

"There are also gold cups and silver bowls for offering sacrifices..."

"..."

Managers everywhere were urging her, so Su Jinxiu had no time to study Li Lan and hurried to do her work.

Li Lan came to Old Madam Shen and said, "Mother, I have something to tell you but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

That unspeakable look immediately aroused the interest of Yu and Qin.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Old Madam Shen said.

Li Lan bowed and said, "Yesterday my daughter-in-law saw a man in my brother's carriage!"

Old Madam Shen's face suddenly changed.

"Mother, I have been observing Jinfengyuan these two days, and my second brother is not at home. The man in the carriage is not my second brother." Li Lan added.

Qin and Yu looked at each other and were both excited.

"Oh, did you see who it was?"

"No. But I saw that man wearing black armor on his wrist, so he must be a soldier! My sister-in-law even drove him around the city, and those who didn't know the truth thought it was my second brother! Who knows what they did in the carriage..."

Old Madam Shen's expression became even uglier.

Did Ye Qinghuan really have an affair because she couldn't stand the loneliness? Or did she have a crush on someone before she got married?

No wonder she is unwilling to take over the family power and has no interest in consummating the marriage!

"Mother, even though my second brother doesn't like to go home, my sister-in-law shouldn't be like this either. You have to teach her a lesson!" Li Lan said.

Yu also said: "If this is true, our general's mansion will be embarrassed."

"Alas! I didn't expect Ye to be such a person. It's true, you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart!"

"She has always been selfish and only cares about her own enjoyment. It would be strange if she cares about the reputation of Lin'er and the General's Mansion!"

"How long will you wait for a daughter-in-law like this?"

"Divorcing her would be too good of a deal. How can her worthless life be compared with the reputation of my general's mansion? She should be killed quietly."

"..."

Yu and Qin kept talking to each other, adding fuel to the fire.

Old Madam Shen's face turned pale, and she slammed the table hard: "Come here, call Ye! And the coachman and maid who accompanied us yesterday, tie them all up!"
