The wife of two taels of silver

The situation was at a stalemate, and it was only after Liu Shuyun spoke that everyone moved to another place.

This matter was not something that could be made public, so there was only one maid, Caiyun, in the room.

The stalemate didn't last long before Liu Shulian asked Wan Yi, "A few days ago, did you beat up Brother Gu An's two children?"

"Yes," Wan Yi gently wiped the tears from her eyes, not aggrieved: "They bit He'er's hands, so I punished them. Lian Lang, you didn't see He'er's injuries."

Wan Yi clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and looked at Liu Shulian earnestly, "Those two kids were the ones who bullied He'er first."

"Heh." Lin Haitang sneered.

"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid?" Lin Haitang stared at Wan Yi, but said to Liu Shulian: "Whether she is really stupid or not, I advise you to change your wife."

Snapped!

Liu Shulian was furious and put down the teacup in his hand heavily. The tea lid turned over and the tea inside splashed out.

"Miss Lin, you are too unreasonable!"

Wan Yi was sobbing softly beside him, leaning towards Liu Shulian, looking very frail.

"Shu Lian." Liu Shuyun stopped Liu Shulian and said to Caiyun, "Caiyun, go call Tao and Li and the other four."

"Yes." Caiyun leaned over, walked quickly, and closed the door gently.

Snapped!

Lin Haitang slammed her hand on the table, the sound even louder than Liu Shulian's.

"Wan Yi, could you really not tell that the maid was lying that day?" Lin Haitang said in a cold voice, showing no mercy to her.

"How old is your son this year? How old are my two children? Was your son seriously injured or was my son seriously injured?" Lin Haitang stood up, walked to Wan Yi, and slammed the table.

"Have you ever carefully questioned what happened? Do you just take what the maid says? Do you have no brains?"

How could I not see it? I just pretended not to see it.

"Sister-in-law, you are pregnant, please take care of yourself." Liu Shuyun advised with gritted teeth.

Wan Yi's eyes flashed with viciousness, and he said, "I and Tao Li don't have the guts to lie to me. She was my maid from the dowry, so I naturally believed her."

Until now, I just refuse to admit it even if I am beaten to death.

Liu Shulian, on the other hand, spoke righteously, "Miss Lin, don't worry. If it's Yi'er's fault, I will definitely give you an explanation until you are satisfied."

"Okay."

Lin Haitang did not sit back, but stood up and leaned against the pillar.

Maybe it’s because of pregnancy, sitting is not comfortable, and standing is more comfortable.

Covered by her sleeves, Lin Haitang quietly touched her belly, which was already slightly bulging.

Frowning, Lin Haitang said, "I don't ask for much. I'll just give your lady fifty slaps on the palm of her hand, and we'll let it go."

Finally, he did not forget to add a sarcastic remark, saying: "I am not so mean as to break a child's hand, so don't worry, I won't ask your son to pay it back."

The child is less than eight years old. Ultimately, it is because Liu Shulian and Wan Yi, as their parents, did not teach him well.

After a while, four maids with faces swollen like steamed buns arrived. They knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Master, Master, Madam, I was wrong. I was wrong."

Tao Li knelt down, grabbed Wan Yi's skirt, and burst into tears: "Madam, Madam, it was I who was so bold. It was I who put all the blame on the young master of the Gu family. Please spare my life, Madam."

Tao Li knew that the only one who could save her now was Wan Yi. She had to give Wan Yi a way out so that she could save her life.

Wan Yi pretended to be sad and said, "Tao Li, that's not what you said that day. I trusted you so much, but you hurt me like this."

"Madam," Tao Li's forehead was bleeding, but she continued to kowtow, tears and snot flowing into her mouth: "Madam, I was so scared, Madam, I was afraid of being punished by you, so I lied to you."

"Please spare my life, ma'am."

Liu Shulian watched all this with a frown on his face, feeling the atmosphere was filled with turmoil. He roared with all his might, "Someone! Take these guys away and kick them out of the Liu Mansion!"

Even though the mistake was on his side, Liu Shulian still did not have a good impression of Lin Haitang.

Although Lin Haitang was right, he was too unforgiving and did not give the host any face.

No matter how unhappy he was, Liu Shulian was still a gentleman. He bowed deeply to Lin Haitang and said, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry."

"You should apologize, but I said, hit her palm fifty times and the matter will be over." Lin Haitang raised her hand and ignored his words.

Wan Yi's teeth were about to break, but she was helpless. She stood up and apologized to Lin Haitang: "Miss Lin, I didn't know people well enough and let the two children suffer. If you want to hit me, I will take it."

"Okay, bring me the ruler." Lin Haitang sneered.

No one moved.

Liu Shulian naturally didn't want his wife to be beaten, but Liu Shuyun was really embarrassed to bring it up.

"Caiyun, go get the ruler." Wan Yi said through gritted teeth.

Caiyun looked at Liu Shuyun, and when she saw Liu Shuyun nod helplessly, she replied, "Yes."

Liu Shulian said, "Let's be merciful, Miss Lin. Let's keep a line of courtesy so we can meet again in the future."

"No matter what, this is my wife's fault. Since Miss Lin wants to hit me, I have the audacity to ask Miss Lin to be gentle."

The room was too stuffy. Although it was warm, it was not breathable. She turned around and opened the window without paying attention to Liu Shulian.

The cool air outside suddenly hit me, and I felt my mind become clearer.

"You men, don't just focus on making money, take care of your family too." Lin Haitang looked out the window. The sky was blue without a trace of white clouds, and she said slowly.

The implication was that he agreed to what Liu Shulian said.

After all, the brothers Liu Shuyun and Liu Shulian are gentlemen, otherwise they would not allow Lin Haitang to be so rampant.

After getting the ruler, Lin Haitang weighed it in her hand, looked at Wan Yi's outstretched palm, and hit him hard.

Snapped!

"Ah!" Wan Yi screamed and couldn't help but pull his hand back.

Lin Haitang clamped her tightly and continued to beat her.

Within three strokes, Wan Yi's palms began to become red and swollen, and after two more strokes, they turned purple and black.

Ignoring Wan Yi's struggle, Lin Haitang hit him forty times, using all her strength in each hit.

Throwing away the ruler in her hand, Lin Haitang panted a little and said, "I won't give you the remaining ten strokes. This is a token of my gratitude for taking care of my two children."

Wan Yi threw herself into Liu Shulian's arms and this time she really cried, "Lian Lang, it hurts so much, it really hurts."

"You are such a grown-up and you know the pain. Don't my two children feel more pain than you? They are so young, but they suffered fifty hits, while you only suffered forty." Lin Haitang retorted.

After hearing Lin Haitang's words, Liu Shulian, who had originally had some complaints, swallowed his words of comfort to Wan Yi in an instant.

Yes, wouldn’t those two children be in more pain?

Liu Shuyun said, "Sister-in-law, I will ask Grandmother to take charge of the household chores again. You can take a few days off."

Wan Yi cried even harder, but Liu Shulian still showed no reaction.

Lin Haitang no longer cared about the farce behind her. That was the Liu family's business. She was very tired now and just wanted to go back and rest and see her children.

The thing that Lin Haitang was most satisfied with after the time travel was that she was no longer directionally challenged. She could tell east, west, south and north, and could remember the route after walking it once.

When they arrived at Laiyang Courtyard, it was quiet, without a sound. Lin Haitang opened the door quietly.

Perhaps it was the effect of the elixir, the two children fell asleep quietly beside each other.

Lin Haitang took a look but didn't go over. There was a recliner in the room with a blanket on it. She lay down on it and fell asleep in a short while.

Crackling

It was the sound of burning charcoal, very subtle, but it pried on Lin Haitang's nerves.

In her dream, she was in darkness, unable to see her hand in front of her face. She fumbled around anxiously but could not find anything. Then a slight sound was heard, like a white light breaking through the sky, and light appeared in the distance.

Lin Haitang ran after the light, but she couldn't touch it. She ran even harder, and finally, she was about to touch it.

Lin Haitang tilted her head on the recliner and woke up.

"Hiss──" Lin Haitang shook his head, very confused.

How could I have such a dream?

"Mom!" Gu Zhilan's voice rang out, interrupting her thoughts.

"Mom, you're back." The little girl was very happy, her face flushed from sleep, and she threw herself into Lin Haitang's arms.

Lin Haitang smiled and kissed the two children, saying, "Yes, mother is back."

"Momo, Lanlan, Mom wants to go home, what about you guys?"

“We want to go home too!”

The three of them laughed together. Lin Haitang pinched Gu Mo's nose and said, "Then let's leave now."

Liu Shuyun was a very nice person, but Lin Haitang really didn't want to stay in the Liu Mansion. After packing up simply, she walked out holding the hands of her two children.

When they reached the door, Lin Haitang asked the servant who opened the door, "Where is my horse?"

The servant bowed, his voice sounding rather strange as he was still in the process of voice change. He said, "I'll go get it for the girl right away."

The horse had not arrived yet, but Liu Shuyun arrived first.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for not treating you well this time, but it's getting dark now. It's not too late to leave tomorrow." Liu Shuyun came running and was still panting when he spoke.

Before Lin Haitang could say anything, Liu Shuyun had the door closed. "There's a curfew tonight. It's not safe. For the sake of the two children, let's leave tomorrow."

"I just want to go to the inn." Lin Haitang said.

"The inn is not as safe as the Liu Mansion. I promise not to let Liu Qinghe and his mother appear in front of you." Liu Shuyun almost raised his hand to swear.

Lin Haitang said, "I really wouldn't do that. I haven't checked out of my inn yet, so it would be a waste if I didn't stay here."

It’s true that I didn’t want to stay there, and it’s also true that I didn’t check out the room in the inn.

"Then I'll have someone vacate your room and you can stay in the Liu Mansion." Liu Shuyun did not back down.

"Sister-in-law, don't refuse anymore. Gu An and I are like brothers, so I will naturally take good care of you." Liu Shuyun picked up Gu Zhilan and said, "When you want to return to Shang'anhe Village, I will arrange a carriage to take you back."

"We plan to return to Shang'anhe Village tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll arrange the carriage tomorrow morning."

Having said this, Lin Haitang had no choice but to stay at the Liu Mansion and leave tomorrow.
