The weak prince's queen

Chapter 13: Punished to Kneel in the Ancestral Hall

"Mother, Lin Ruoxue has become friends with the servants." Lin Ruoyun walked into Mrs. Lin's room angrily and complained loudly.

Mrs. Lin frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "A lady from a noble family should behave in a dignified manner. How can you be so loud and noisy?"

Lin Ruoyun pouted in grievance and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm really angry."

Mrs. Lin sighed helplessly and consoled him, "Well, the prince's wedding is coming soon, so please be patient." Although she said this, she was also angry and dissatisfied with Lin Ruoxue's behavior. After all, Lin Ruoxue was increasingly looking down on her.

"Okay, Bijun, take the young lady out. I need some quiet time." Mrs. Lin rubbed her temples tiredly and waved her hand to signal them to leave.

"Yes, madam." Lin Ruoyun was reluctantly taken out of the room by Bijun.

After a while, there was a creaking sound and the door was gently pushed open. Bijun tiptoed in.

Mrs. Lin heard the voice, slowly opened her eyes, and asked softly, "Has Yun'er returned to her room?"

Bijun quickly lowered her head and responded, "Yes, ma'am."

Madam Lin nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Is the master going back home today?"

After thinking for a moment, Bijun replied, "The master is on holiday today. He will probably return home after the morning court session."

Madam Lin looked out the window and murmured softly, "Look at this time, the master should be arriving soon. Let's go out. Oh! By the way, first, put on your makeup and make yourself look a little haggard."

Bijun understood what she meant and immediately went forward to help Mrs. Lin dress up, but she didn't use too much makeup, not even lip balm.

Mrs. Lin looked at herself in the bronze mirror carefully, feeling very satisfied. She couldn't help but nod slightly to show her approval.

Then, she asked again: "By the way, where is Lin Ruoxue now?"

Bijun quickly replied, "The eldest lady is now playing with the servants in her courtyard."

Mrs. Lin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, then stood up and said, "Then let's go and take a look." After that, she walked out of the room.

Madam Lin saw from afar that Lin Ruoxue and the other servants were having a great time. She gritted her teeth, then turned to Bijun and whispered, "Go and see if the master has returned, and lead him here."

Mrs. Lin straightened her clothes and hair, and walked towards Chu Xiyue with a proud look.

"What are you all doing here? Are you all not doing anything?" Mrs. Lin frowned and shouted.

When the other servants heard this, they were so frightened that they quickly scattered and left.

"Xue'er, you are the eldest daughter of our Lin family. You must always pay attention to your identity and can't be so unruly. It would be disgraceful if others saw you." Mrs. Lin said to Chu Xiyue earnestly.

"I didn't do anything. I was just playing a game with them." Chu Xiyue explained innocently.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, your every move represents the image of the Lin family." Mrs. Lin continued to persuade earnestly.

"Oh, what do you want to say? I'm really just playing a game with them." Chu Xiyue said a little impatiently, feeling that Mrs. Lin was really incomprehensible.

At this moment, Mrs. Lin caught a glimpse of Bijun walking by, and an idea suddenly occurred to her. She quickly moved closer to Chu Xiyue, deliberately letting her body touch Chu Xiyue's arm, and then pretended to accidentally fall to the ground.

"Oh, Xue'er, how could you push someone? I just said a few words, telling you not to fight with the servants in the yard and to be careful, but you actually pushed me..." Mrs. Lin sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.

"I... when did I push you?" Chu Xiyue said in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

"Lin Ruoxue..." At this time, Mr. Lin walked over quickly and helped Mrs. Lin up.

"Who are you!" Chu Xiyue asked puzzledly.

"Miss, Miss, it's the master." Dong'er quickly leaned close to Chu Xiyue's ear and told her in a low voice.

"I think you fell into the lake and your brain went crazy. You don't even recognize me. You have no respect for your elders and you hit them without any manners. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down as punishment, and copy the female precepts ten times." Master Lin roared angrily.

"Master, Xue'er definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please don't punish her. I'm fine." Mrs. Lin endured the pain and said in a pleading tone.

"Lian'er, you are too kind, that's why you allow this evil creature to be so ignorant of etiquette. Go back to your room and rest, let the doctor come to see you." Master Lin looked at Mrs. Lin with heartache and comforted her gently.

"I... Master Lin, right? Are you blind? Which eye saw me pushing her?" Chu Xiyue retorted indignantly without showing any weakness.

"Someone come quickly and take her away." Master Lin shouted angrily.
