When Mrs. Lin thought of the amount of dowry that was converted into silver and those restaurants and farms, she wanted to drink their blood and eat their flesh. How could she be willing to bow her head and greet her?

Asking her to greet Shen Guidi was as uncomfortable as forcing her to eat flies.

Lin Huaian got angry again when he saw that she didn't even bend her waist and was very perfunctory in her greeting.

He Qingchen looked at them and sneered, "Master Lin, Madam Lin is quite arrogant."

"This... Your humble official, your humble official is..."

"Lord Lin, are you planning to have a 'reminiscence' with the king and the princess in this crowded place?"

He Qingchen glanced at the people on the roadside who were pointing and looking here from time to time, and spoke with an impatient look. When he mentioned the word "reminiscing about the past", his tone became heavy and downward.

Lin Huaian was startled, and he glanced at the passers-by and explained awkwardly: "I dare not, I dare not, Your Majesty, Princess, please come in?"

He hurriedly led the way.

Mrs. Lin followed Lin Huaian silently and glanced at Shen Guidi out of the corner of her eye.

He Qingchen held Shen Guidi and slowly walked in.

Shen Guidi didn't notice Mrs. Lin's fierce look, but He Qingchen saw it.

He sneered in his heart.

idiot!

Lin Huaian was unaware of the undercurrent in He Qingchen's eyes. He was only thinking about how he had to please He Qingchen today.

He has been through too much stimulation in the past two days.

First he lost a large sum of property, and then he was demoted from the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites to a Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The gap was too big for him to bear.

After hearing that He Qingchen had entered the palace, he knew that all this was done by He Qingchen.

The things about dowry discount and compensation from Zhuangzi Restaurant are all fake.

What he really wanted was to prove the Lin family's guilt.

The matter of substitute marriage involves the reputation of the royal family and the reputation of Prince Yan's Mansion.

This matter can be big or small.

To put it in a broader sense, the Lin family disobeyed the imperial edict, took advantage of loopholes in the edict, and replaced the legitimate daughter with a concubine's daughter to marry into the royal family. After doing such a thing, the Lin family would be punished lightly by having their property confiscated and exiled.

The reason why the Lin family is so fearless is simply because of the Qi family and because Concubine Hui will protect them to some extent.

But what if they can’t protect it?

Now he was merely demoted and his wife was stripped of her imperial title, but at least they were still in the capital.

Qi Heng was merely confined to his house, which was not a big deal.

It can be seen that He Qingchen did not want to put them to death. On the contrary, he was reminding them that he just wanted to vent his anger. As for whether it was for himself or for... Shen Guidi, only he knew.

But no matter who it is for, the Lin family should not offend him again at this moment.

Who knows, if I please He Qingchen, he might even find a way to reinstate him one day because he is his father-in-law.

He Qingchen and Shen Guidi had no idea of ​​Lin Huaian's naive thoughts.

Lin Huaian led everyone to the main hall in the front yard to drink tea.

It was not until everyone sat down that He Qingchen noticed that there seemed to be a lot of faint scratches on Lin Huaian's face and neck.

The scratches were very shallow, and seemed to be lightly covered with women's powder.

But it's not very clear.

However, those marks looked like they were made by someone's fingernails.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly that in this huge Lin Mansion, there was only one person who could take action against Lin Huaian.

That is, Mrs. Lin Qi.

His eyes paused slightly, and he picked up the cup in front of him. While drinking tea, his gaze drifted towards Madam Lin.

Seeing the unconcealable bruise on Mrs. Lin's forehead and the slightly torn corners of her lips, He Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on.

Lin Huaian and Qi, are the couple fighting each other?

That scene, isn’t it... quite beautiful?

He Qingchen thought indifferently.

His eyes swept between Lin Huaian and Mrs. Lin, and he suddenly laughed out loud, causing several people to look over to him.

He Qingchen's smile suddenly disappeared.

He reached over the coffee table, grabbed Shen Guidi's hand, and signaled her with his eyes to go look at Lin Huaian and Mrs. Lin.

Shen Guidi looked puzzled.

But he still pretended to glance up at the couple casually.

"Heh~" Shen Guidi laughed out loud immediately.

The two looked at each other tacitly, then looked away.

Mrs. Lin frowned, glared at Shen Guidi angrily, and then sat there in silence.

Lin Huaian was quite perceptive. He intuitively felt that He Qingchen and the others were laughing at him, especially Shen Guidi. She laughed after looking at him and his wife.

But he had no evidence.

I could only ask awkwardly: "My Lord, Princess, what are you laughing at?"

He looked down at himself. Indeed, his clothes were a little messy, but not enough to make people laugh at him, right?

He Qingchen immediately said: "Nothing, I just thought of something funny."

Shen Guiyi raised her eyebrows and said in a suggestive tone, "Is it what I was thinking about?"

"What is the matter the princess is talking about?"

"That's right. When we left the palace today, didn't we see two raccoons of different colors, one black and one white, fighting under the wall outside the palace? At that time, they were waving their teeth and claws, scratching each other and leaving many scars. It looked embarrassing and funny. You also said at the time that these two little guys looked very noisy and were really cute."

Shen Guidi was making up a story nonchalantly.

He Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face and suddenly laughed out loud.

Lin Huaian's face darkened when he heard this.

It was not a fight between two cat slaves at all. Shen Guidi had clearly seen that he and his wife had a conflict, and deliberately used the two cat slaves to mock their fight.

Mrs. Lin didn't understand what Shen Guidi meant.

She didn't dare to say anything to He Qingchen who was laughing wantonly, but seeing Shen Guidi like this, she felt like she had found a reason to find fault with him.

He immediately mocked, "Now that the princess has married into the royal family, she still needs to learn some rules and etiquette. No one can see what she does at home, so no one will say anything. But if she goes out and is seen acting like this, ignoring her own parents and acting like a fool with the prince..., she will be laughed at. By then, she will bring shame to the royal mansion and the Lin family, and will also implicate her sisters at home. The princess will..."

He Qingchen immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice, "So what?"

Madam Lin paused, but continued, "Your Majesty, I have good intentions. After all, the princess is from the countryside, and no one has ever disciplined her properly. She has a wild temper. Now that she has entered the palace, if she doesn't behave herself, won't she be laughed at for nothing?"

Lin Huaian was caught off guard for a moment, and never expected that Mrs. Lin would say such a thing.

It was too late to stop it.

He Qingchen stared at Madam Lin sinisterly and sneered indifferently: "Second Miss Lin is very well behaved and even ran away from marriage."
