The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

The speaker was a man in his twenties who looked about five parts like Lin Ruoqing.

Who is your brother-in-law?

Lin Hongye was surprised by how beautiful the other person's voice was. He looked at Jiang Shuwan, and although he couldn't see her face clearly because she was covered, he was certain that she was a great beauty. His eyes became somewhat greedy.

Seeing this, Fei Yue said sternly, "How dare you! If you dare to look around like that again, you'll regret it!"

The shopkeeper was shocked to see that Lin Hongye was facing imminent disaster and was still oblivious to his fate.

Lin Hongye cleared his throat and said loudly, "My brother-in-law is the second young master of the Huian Marquis's mansion, the future Huian Marquis."

"Send it to the authorities."

Jiang Shuwan disdained wasting time with such a person. The reason she asked one more question was to let everyone present hear that he was the brother-in-law of the second son of the Marquis of Huian.

The guards received orders and escorted these people out.

"How dare you! I... mmm..."

The guard, worried that his talkativeness might disturb his wife's ears, picked up a piece of cloth from the side and stuffed it into his mouth.

Feiyue gave the guard an approving look.

Jiang Shuwan, "You should know where to claim compensation for the losses in the shop, right?"

The shopkeeper's eyes darted around and he quickly said, "This person claims to be a relative of the Marquis of Huian's family. I will send someone to the Marquis of Huian's family right away."

Jiang Shuwan took Feiyue and they left in the carriage.

After some thought, the shopkeeper guessed that the noble lady was likely Princess Yongning. Between offending Princess Yongning and the Huian Earl's Mansion, he chose to offend the Huian Earl's Mansion. He found a clever waiter to go to the Huian Earl's Mansion to collect the debt.

The steward of the Huian Marquis's mansion immediately turned grim upon hearing what the waiter said. He couldn't make a decision on his own, so he told the waiter to wait outside while he went to report to Madam Ye.

Hearing this, Madam Ye chuckled disdainfully, "It seems like any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to claim to be from the Huian Marquis's residence. Go tell him that the Huian Marquis's residence has no such person, and whoever owes him should go find him."

"Yes."

The butler received instructions from the master and went to refuse the waiter.

The waiter was furious that the Earl's mansion wouldn't even pay this small amount of money. He returned to the restaurant and told the manager the truth.

The innkeeper shared a similar thought with the waiter: a dignified Earl's mansion acting so petty! What did this mean? Did they think the restaurant was deliberately trying to extort them?

The shopkeeper grew angrier the more he thought about it, and turned to find his employer.

***

The guards led Lin Hongye and the others to the yamen. Once there, the guards identified themselves, and the magistrate, upon learning this, imprisoned them.

When the guard returned to the manor to report, Fei Yun cursed and swore for a long time after learning about it.

Jiang Shuwan didn't hide this matter. Xie Huai'an had just returned to the General's Mansion when he heard Steward Qin report it, and he hurried to Mingxiang Garden.

Seeing Jiang Shuwan sitting peacefully reading a book, he went over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Shuwan put down her book and chuckled, "What could possibly happen to me? I'm just someone who talks too much. I've already had someone send me to the authorities."

Xie Huai'an didn't say anything; he stayed in the room for a while and then went out.

He rode straight to the government office.

The county magistrate had already left the office and was about to go home when Xie Huai'an arrived.

The magistrate knew why Xie Huai'an had come. He reported that he had already had those who spoke recklessly beaten twenty times and then imprisoned them for another month.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Huai'an's expression had not improved.

"How does the general intend to handle this?"

The magistrate asked the question cautiously.

Xie Huai'an said coldly, "Handle it as it should be. The magistrate knows more about the law than I do."

The magistrate was now in a dilemma. Originally, the guards from the General's Mansion brought the people over, and the magistrate planned to exile these ignorant fools. However, Lin Hongye claimed to be from the Huian Earl's Mansion. Because of his repeated offenses, he had the man beaten twenty times, which was considered an explanation to Princess Yongning. But he did not expect Xie Huai'an to come in person, and it was clear that he was not satisfied with this treatment.

"May I see these arrogant scoundrels who have spoken so rudely, Magistrate?"

The magistrate's lips twitched when he heard the word "madman".

They're all "madmen," so they certainly can't be let off lightly.

"of course can."

The county magistrate humbly led the way for Xie Huai'an.

Although he said he would give He Zhilin twenty strokes of the cane, the magistrate didn't actually order him to be severely beaten. He Zhilin's brother-in-law didn't want to offend He Zhilin.

Although the people locked up in the cell were all lying down, they seemed to be unharmed.

Lin Hongye still had the strength to shout, "I am the brother-in-law of the second young master of the Huian Marquis's mansion, and I want to see He Zhilin!"

Xie Huai'an glanced at the county magistrate, who looked somewhat guilty.

Lin Hongye spotted Xie Huai'an and the county magistrate.

"Who are you! Where is He Zhilin? I need to see He Zhilin!"

Xie Huai'an looked at the county magistrate, "I wonder if the county magistrate has found the person he is looking for?"

The magistrate was drenched in sweat. "General, this..."

He was filled with remorse at that moment.

Lin Hongye asked excitedly, "Are you the person my brother-in-law sent to rescue me?"

Xie Huai'an looked at him and said calmly, "You've committed a crime, and your brother-in-law can save you?"

Lin Hongye said confidently, "Of course. Go find my brother-in-law and give him a message. Once I get out, I'll make sure he gives you a lot of money."

The magistrate grew increasingly terrified as he listened.

Xie Huai'an glanced at the county magistrate and said, "Did you hear that? Go to the Huian Marquis's residence to 'invite' the Second Young Master He."

"Yes."

The magistrate waved for the yamen runners to go to the Huian Earl's residence.

Lin Hongye's face relaxed slightly upon hearing this; he was finally able to leave this awful place.

He Zhilin was stopped by the yamen runners as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Huian Marquis's mansion.

Upon hearing this, He Zhilin got back into his carriage and went to the government office.

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper returned to the mansion to report.

The second young master was taken away by the government officials.

When Ye found out, she went straight to Lin Ruoqing's courtyard and started cursing as soon as she entered the house.

She guessed that the restaurant staff had taken her son to court because the Huian Earl's family hadn't paid them.

Lin Ruoqing was completely bewildered.

"Mother, please explain properly, you've confused me."

Ye sneered, "Don't pretend with me, you little vixen, you're young but you're very cunning!"

Lin Ruoqing was so ashamed that Ye Shi said this about herself in front of so many servants that she could hardly straighten her head. Then she lowered her head and started to cry.

When Ye saw her like this, she was furious.

If it weren't for the fact that she was carrying the He family's bloodline, she would have already taken action.

Du Siyu came because she heard about the excitement.

"If Erlang's reputation is damaged because of you, I will definitely not let you off lightly!"

After finishing her sentence, Ye raised her head and left.

Lin Ruoqing was still shedding tears alone.

Du Siyu watched from the side.

When Ye saw her third son's wife, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"what are you doing here!"

"Just passing by," Du Siyu said matter-of-factly.

You can walk this way just by passing by!

Ye's temper flared up twice as much again.

Upon seeing this, Du Siyu bowed and said, "I just remembered that my husband called me, so I'll be going now." After saying that, she quickly left with her maid.

Even the quick-moving Ye family didn't have time to scold her.

Ye was so angry at them that she almost died of anger!
