Madam Hou

Chapter 93

The room is quiet and silent, only my own breathing is shallow in my ears.

The floor was as cold as iron, and Lin Fengye didn't know how long he had been kneeling on the floor, but he felt the pain in his knees coming in bursts, like ten thousand ants biting his bones.

Just when Lin Fengye thought he was going to kneel down here and faint, the aunt who had been sitting at the top and drinking tea slowly finally threw the tea bowl in her hand.

He didn't dodge, but the teacup didn't hit him either, it flew obliquely along the edge of his ear, and then shattered with a "snap".

The maids in the room were kicked out by the aunt a long time ago, and no maids came to clean up the broken tea bowl.Although she was dissatisfied with him, she still saved face for him and did not let the servants see his embarrassment.

The aunt's voice came from above: "Why, you think my aunt chose a bad wife for you, so on the wedding night, I deliberately snubbed my wife to resist me?"

Lin Fengye quickly kowtowed: "My son dare not!"

"Don't dare? I think you are very courageous. Let me tell you, I have worked so hard to raise you. Could it be that I let you disobey me by being unfilial?"

Unfilial, disobedience, what a serious crime, Lin Fengye kowtowed again and said in panic, "Son, don't dare!"

"Your daughter-in-law also has a natal family. If you hit her in the face like this, you expect your Yue's family to be dumb, don't you? Go back three times, and I'll see how you explain it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Lin Fengye still maintained the posture of prostrate on the ground.

Mrs. Linhou continued: "Let me tell you, although you didn't crawl out of my stomach, as long as you call me mother, I have the right to control you. I don't care how much you don't like your wife or how much you treat her. If you are not satisfied, even if you spit it out as soon as you touch her, you must consummate the room with her tonight. If you let me see that Yuanpa is clean tomorrow morning, I don’t bother to talk about you anymore, just kneel down in the ancestral hall, Go and explain to your ancestors."

Lin Fengye said: "It is the son who is wrong, please forgive the son, mother."

After such a fit, Madam Lin's tone slowed down, and she said, "Forget it, I've said everything I need to say, you were not born by me after all, and if you talk too much, you will only feel resentful towards me."

"Son dare not!"

"Get up, go back and apologize to your wife, and live a good life."

Coming out of Tangrong Courtyard, Lin Fengye looked outside, the spring flowers were blooming, the flowers were fragrant and the birds were singing. He clearly knew that he should go back and apologize to his wife, but he still couldn't help being at a loss in his heart, not knowing what to do.

His servant Chang Qing came forward to salute him and asked: "Second Young Master, do you want to go back to Danfeng Court?"

Lin Fengye stopped and didn't answer. After a while, he made up his mind, nodded and said, "En."

Changqing was walking behind his master, seeing his master walking slowly, he wished to take one step as if it were five steps, and he could tell by looking at it that he didn't want to go back at all.

Changqing thought of what Yuan Momo, who was beside his wife, said to himself when he was in his wife's yard just now: "Changqing, we are servants, and if the master does something wrong, we should advise the master well, and don't just be afraid of being punished by the master." , Just follow the master in everything. If the master has done something wrong, you will be able to get better. After you go back with the second young master, you should know what to do, right? Please persuade the second young master, otherwise, I will give you a reward Hold the board."

It's really a fight between masters and servants.The Second Young Master didn't want to consummate the house with the Second Young Mistress, how could he persuade him as a servant, he couldn't let the Second Young Master go to the Second Young Mistress's bed.This second young master is also true, if the second young mistress is ugly, that's fine, the second young mistress is obviously pretty, why the second young master doesn't like the second young mistress.

No matter how small the steps are, no matter how slow the walk is, there will always be a time to reach Danfeng Courtyard.

Lin Fengye stood at the gate of the courtyard, but he couldn't move any further.Seeing Changqing, he was almost crying. If the second young master doesn't consummate the house with the second young mistress tonight, the second young master is nothing to be the master, at most he will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. The boards are all light.Why is he so miserable.

Chang Qing hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Second Young Master, please go into the house quickly."

Lin Fengye didn't seem to hear Chang Qing's words, after standing for a while, he said: "I'll go to the study to read a book first." Then he waved his sleeves, turned and went in another direction.

Chang Qing hurriedly followed, persuading: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, what else do you do, when can't you read this book, Second Young Mistress is waiting for you in the house."

Lin Fengye left without entering the house. Xiu'er, who had been hiding in the yard watching the situation, couldn't help stamping her feet, then turned and entered the house.

In the room, Mother He was sitting next to Mrs. He, comforting Mrs. He, when she saw Xiu'er coming in, she stood up quickly, and asked Xiu'er, "Where is the second young master, come back to the yard."

He pretended not to care, but he still couldn't help but listen carefully to Xiu'er's answer.

Xiu'er said: "I'm back, but I stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and then went to the study."

When Mrs. He heard this answer, she was so angry that she couldn't help but waved a tea bowl on the kang table to the ground, and said angrily: "If I don't come back, I won't come back. Who cares? I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. I want to make peace."

Mother He hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Hey, my dear lady, please keep your voice down, can you say things like He Li casually?"

He reached out and hugged Mama He's waist, crying, "Nurse, why is my life so hard!"

Mother He patted He's back, and said distressedly: "Miss, don't be sad, once you are sad, the nanny will feel pain in her heart."

"What kind of family did my mother marry me into? It's just like this when I got married. How will I live in the future?"

He comforted: "Miss, don't worry too much. Didn't the second young master go back to the yard? I don't think he will enter the house. He must feel sorry for Miss so he is embarrassed to come back. When he thinks about it, he will naturally go back to the house." , when the time comes, miss, don't make things difficult for the second young master, give the second young master a step down, and after the two reconcile, they will be able to live in peace and beauty."

At the same time, in the study in the outer courtyard, the door was closed tightly, and even Changqing was shut out by him.

The young masters in the family want to study, and every young master has a small study in the outer courtyard, Lin Fengye is no exception.

Lin Fengye was sitting in front of the desk, and there was a box on the desk, inside the box was a purse with plum blossoms embroidered with red background and gold thread.The satin surface of the purse has already become quite fuzzy, and it is obvious that it has become like this because it is often rubbed in the hands of people.

Lin Fengye picked up the purse in the box, carefully stroked the plum blossoms on it, and the voice and smile of that person involuntarily floated in his mind.

He thought of the spring of that year, which was also as blooming and soft as it is now.She stood in front of a rhododendron in the garden, closed her eyes and smelled the fragrance of the rhododendron softly, two yellow butterflies flew from a distance, circled around her for a few times, and finally landed on her head On a Begonia silk flower.

She stood up, turned her head and smiled slightly, her smile ruthlessly hit his heart, he just felt that among thousands of flowers, with all kinds of colors, even the most beautiful flowers couldn't compare to her every frown and smile.

Later, when she left, this purse fell from her body.Unaware of it, she strolled out of the garden.After she left, he came out from the rockery and picked up the purse.The faint fragrance of dried flowers from the purse seemed to still carry her breath, he foolishly protected it in his arms, cherishing it in every possible way.

He originally wanted to find a chance to return it to her later, but every time he had a chance to return it to her later, he thought, wait a little longer, let him keep the purse for a few more days, and next time, he will definitely return it to her. Give it back to her.It's just that after waiting, he will never have the chance to return it to her.

She was his aunt and savior, and he knew that his aunt wanted him to marry her as his wife in order to repay her kindness.At that time, several maids who were close to him secretly said that she came from a humble background and was not worthy of him as the young master of the Houfu.But since he met her, he has been secretly happy for a long time. She is such an outstanding girl, so he should not be worthy of her.

In his heart, even if she is the most honorable man in the world, she deserves it.It was his good fortune to marry her.He also secretly swore that if he married her in the future, he would treat her well, cherish him well, and not let her suffer any grievances.

Only later, later...

If someone else snatched her away, even if it was his direct brother, he would try his best to fight for her.But it happened to be the emperor, the most powerful and wealthy person in the world.How can he fight, even if he doesn't care about his own life, he can't implicate the family.

Forget it, forget it, after all, he is not lucky to have her.He only hoped that she would be fine in the palace, and that the person who snatched her away would cherish her as much as he did.

It was getting late, the lanterns had just come on, one of the candles on the lantern in the porch had been burned out, and the maid who changed the candles had just left.

Changqing looked at the door of the study room which was still closed, and walked up and down the door with some annoyance.

He walked by the door for quite a while, and got really impatient with waiting, so he stood at the door, put his ear to the door, and wanted to listen to the movement inside the study.As a result, he had just posted it when the door was suddenly opened.He was startled, then looked at Lin Fengye standing on the door, and said excitedly: "Second Young Master, you are finally out, let's go back to the inner courtyard."

Lin Fengye nodded, then walked out of the study door, Chang Qing hurriedly followed happily.

As soon as Lin Fengye returned to Danfeng Courtyard, Mother He rushed out to greet her, and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, you are back."

Lin Fengye nodded and said, "Yes."

Mrs. He was still sitting on the kang, when she saw her husband coming in, she didn't go up to greet her, but turned her head and let out a soft "hum".

Lin Fengye walked up to her and sat down. After a while, he said: "I was not good last night. I was drunk and that's why I did that. I apologize to you. My mother has already told me, and I promise I will never do it again. It will be like this."

He still turned his back to her husband and turned a deaf ear to his words.

Mother He was very anxious when she saw Mrs. He's appearance, so she kept winking at Mrs. He.Men are all face-saving, if my young lady keeps ignoring her like this, it will only consume the second young master's patience.Now that the second young master has apologized, the young lady will step down the steps, and then the husband and wife will be peaceful and beautiful.
