The person who came was Mrs. Lin's best friend, Imperial Concubine De.

Seeing that someone was finally able to control Lin Ye, the maids in the pool began to cry, "Imperial Concubine..."

"Woo woo, Madam, please make a decision for us!"

The sound of more than a dozen maids crying together was extremely loud.

Imperial Concubine De frowned and glanced at the head maid beside her.

The head maid understood and shouted, "Why don't you change your clothes quickly! If you get sick and delay the nobles' business, you guys will have your heads chopped off?"

Hearing this, the maids stopped crying and climbed out of the pool and went to their own rooms.

After everyone had left, Concubine De looked at the clothesline in Lin Ye's hand, frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, "What? Young Marquis wants to hit me too?"

Lin Ye then threw the clothesline away and bowed his hands, "I dare not."

"You have already entered the palace, and there is still something you dare not do?" Concubine De was obviously a little angry.

She just felt that Lin Ye was too impulsive.

Although this laundry bureau is just a low-class place in the palace, it is in the palace after all.

If it is spread out, someone will deliberately make a big deal about it, not to mention Lin Ye, even the entire Marquis's mansion will suffer.

Lin Ye naturally knew that he should not have come.

The reason why Nian Nian was punished so severely back then was not only because the glass bowl was the princess's favorite thing, but also because the emperor wanted to hit the Marquis's mansion.

Therefore, in the past three years, the Marquis's mansion has never sent anyone to come and see Nian Nian, let alone send someone to bring a message or ask for a letter.

They just wanted to let the emperor know that the Marquis' Mansion would always belong to the emperor and would always be loyal to the emperor. No matter what the emperor ordered, they would not ask, let alone disobey.

But, he was really angry today.

As long as he thought of the group of palace maids pressing Nian Nian into the water, the anger in his heart surged, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye took a deep breath and knelt on the ground, "I know I am reckless, and I will let the imperial concubine punish me."

Even if the imperial concubine was angry, Lin Ye grew up under her care, and she couldn't bear to punish him even for Mrs. Lin's sake.

But if she didn't take action to solve the disaster today, she might not be able to justify it when she got to the emperor.

So, the imperial concubine waved her hand, "You go back first, this matter will be decided by me, remember, you can't step into this laundry bureau in the future."

At this point, Lin Ye could only obey obediently.

But even if he taught the palace maids a lesson today, Lin Ye's anger did not dissipate at all.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Ye's eyes fell on the heater beside him.

He specially prepared it before he went to pick up Nian Nian yesterday, and it was embroidered with Nian Nian's favorite red plum.

Yesterday, Nian Nian was unable to sit in, so naturally she did not see the heater, so now, the heater has long been cold, lying there alone, as if abandoned.

But, even if she sat in, would she take the heater?

Lin Ye remembered what Xiao Heng said, Xiao Heng said that Nian Nian did not touch the heater and cakes prepared in the carriage.

She did not even touch the things Xiao Heng prepared for her, so I am afraid she would not touch his.

This girl, her temper is even more stubborn than three years ago, really can't be compared with Yuan'er at all.

If she could call him "brother" like Yuan'er yesterday, no, she didn't even have to call him "brother" like Yuan'er, as long as she could call him "brother", how could he kick her out of the carriage?

Thinking of her sprained foot yesterday, Lin Ye's irritability became more intense, and the heater in front of him became an eyesore for some reason.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and the heater embroidered with a pair of red plums was thrown out.

Some things are really better out of sight.

Lin Ye did not return home immediately. He was really upset, so he went to the tavern to drink two glasses. When he returned home, it was almost dark.

But he didn't expect that the whole family was waiting for him.

In the hall of the Marquis's Mansion, Lord Lin sat in the upper seat with a gloomy face, and Mrs. Lin stood aside with a worried look on her face, observing Lord Lin's face from time to time.

Qiao Nian was also called to wait together.

But Lin Yuan was not there, she choked on a few sips of water, and the doctor said she needed to rest well.

When Qiao Nian arrived, Lord Lin was already there. This was the first time the father and daughter met after three years, but Lord Lin just glanced at her lightly and said nothing, and she just bowed politely, without saying a word or even a glance.

After standing for about an incense stick of time, Lin Ye finally arrived.

He strode over with a bit of drunkenness on his face.

He has always had a good alcohol tolerance, and today he must have drunk a lot to get drunk.

Obviously, he also knew what it was, so he knelt down when he entered the hall, "My son knows that I got into trouble today because of my impulse. If my father wants to beat or scold me, my son will never complain."

As soon as the voice fell, a cup was thrown straight over and hit Lin Ye on the forehead.

Blood immediately flowed down Lin Ye's brow. Madam Lin shouted and rushed forward, "Master, what are you doing? Do you still want to kill Ye'er?"

"Ask him what good things he has done! How dare he break into the palace! What? Do you think that life in my mansion is too peaceful, so you have to make some trouble?"

Marquis Lin was so angry that his chest was heaving violently.

When the emperor learned about this today, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the emperor would order the whole family of the marquis to be imprisoned in anger.

Lin Ye covered the wound on his forehead with one hand, with a bit of stubbornness on his face, "My son knows he is wrong, but my son can't help it. What's more, he just taught a few maids in the laundry department a lesson and no one died. If the emperor blames me, my son will die in vain!"

Maids in the laundry department?

Qiao Nian stood aside, her heart skipped a beat, and she seemed to finally understand why Lord Lin asked her to wait for Lin Ye together.

She frowned slightly at the moment.

Then Lord Lin shouted angrily, "Asshole! If this matter can be resolved with only your life, it would be fine, but your grandmother is so old, are you really not afraid of bringing disaster to my whole family?!"

"How can it be so serious!" Madam Lin was busy protecting Lin Ye and said, "The Imperial Concubine has already thought of a compromise, and the Emperor is not an unreasonable person, this matter will not be a big deal!"

As she said, Madam Lin looked at Qiao Nian.

As if there was a sense, Qiao Nian, who had been lowering her eyes, suddenly looked at Madam Lin.

But Madam Lin seemed to be afraid to face her, and hurriedly looked away.

However, Qiao Nian still saw the strong apology in those eyes.

Qiao Nian didn't like such eyes.

Her intuition told her that the compromise that the Imperial Concubine thought of was related to her.
