Jiang Feng walked out of the house and called the old woman waiting in the yard to go see Zhu Xianzhi.

Zhu Xianzhi waited and waited, and finally saw Jiang Feng coming. He had been frozen all night and felt resentful.

He complained, "Why did Butler Jiang leave me alone last night? I was left freezing all night with nowhere to go."

Jiang Feng frowned and said, "I sent my uncle to the door of Yangxinzhai last night and told him to have a good rest.

Why is my son-in-law running around in the middle of the night instead of going back to Yangxinzhai? Fortunately, I didn’t run into the palace guards. They don’t know my son-in-law. If they treat my son-in-law as a thief and beat him up, what will I do? "

Zhu Xianzhi sneezed, rubbed his nose, and asked doubtfully, "Butler Jiang sent me outside Yangxinzhai last night?"

Jiang Feng walked forward and touched Zhu Xianzhi's forehead, saying, "He doesn't have a fever. Could it be that the son-in-law has sleepwalking?"

Zhu Xianzhi thought about it carefully, and seeing Jiang Feng's determined expression, he thought that he didn't hear what Jiang Feng said because the figures of those dancers kept appearing in his mind last night.

He was just about to ask Jiang Feng to take him to Yangxinzhai.

Jiang Feng spoke first: "According to the rules of the Lin Mansion, breakfast is served at the beginning of the morning hour. The time is almost up. I will take my son-in-law to the dining hall first."

Zhu Xianzhi had been freezing all night and his head was swollen. He had no appetite at all and just wanted to wrap himself in a quilt and have a good sleep.

When he heard that it was the rule of the Lin Mansion and was afraid of making Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun angry, he had to hang his head and go to the dining hall with Jiang Feng.

Zhu Xianzhi sat there stiffly for a long while before Lin Yuning and Lin Yuru entered the dining hall together, chatting and laughing. Not long after, Lin Tingxu strode in.

Zhu Xianzhi glanced behind Lin Tingxu and asked, "Where are mother-in-law and Ling'er?"

Lin Tingxu said: "They just left the house and went to Jingfu Temple."

After that, Lin Tingxu said, "Let's have dinner."

Jiang Feng clapped his hands three times in succession, and a group of maids came in in an orderly manner, carrying dishes.

Zhu Xianzhi stared at the group of pretty maids with his slender almond-shaped eyes, and felt in his heart that Lin Tingxu was a man who did not know how to enjoy himself. He was surrounded by thousands of flowers, but he only picked one, He Jinchun, which was already half-withered, and he still pampered her like a treasure. What a pity.

Although the breakfast consisted of light porridge and side dishes, the cakes and pastries were all very delicious and fragrant.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Lin Yuru suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Tingxu and said:

"Brother, have you forgotten? According to the rules of the Lin Mansion, both the new bride and the new son-in-law must go to our ancestral hall to kowtow."

Lin Yuning continued, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. It's also Ling'er's fault for having a sudden heart attack. The whole family was so worried about it that we didn't follow the proper etiquette."

Lin Tingxu put down his chopsticks and ordered: "After breakfast, Jiang Feng, take Xianzhi to the ancestral hall."

"Yes! Master!" Jiang Feng smiled secretly. There was no such rule in the Lin Mansion at all. Then he saw Lin Yuru blinking at him three times. He immediately understood and smiled back.

Lin Yuru put down her silver chopsticks, pulled Lin Yuning and said coquettishly, "I heard that my brother's silk shop has new goods. Big sister, come with me to take a look. If there are any good ones, I will bring some back and ask the embroiderer to make them into ready-made clothes for your sister to give her a new spring dress. Is that okay?"

Lin Yuning smiled and said, "Why are you thinking about her? You might as well choose a good piece of fabric for Ling'er and make her a new dress. Who knows, it might make her happy.

I saw how listless she was yesterday, and I felt really bad for her."

The two sisters said goodbye to Lin Tingxu, hooked their arms around each other, and left the dining room.

How could Lin Tingxu not know that Lin Yuning and Lin Yuru didn't want to see Zhu Xianzhi? The two sisters must have gone to He Jinchun's yard to have breakfast.

Seeing that Zhu Xianzhi was getting even more annoyed, he put down his chopsticks and said that he still had some matters to deal with, then he went straight to He Jinchun's yard.

Only Zhu Xianzhi was left with a frown on his face, staring blankly at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng made a gesture of invitation, "I will take you to the ancestral temple."

After entering the ancestral hall, Zhu Xianzhi felt even more depressed. It would have been fine if he just knelt on the cushion and kowtowed. After burning incense, Jiang Feng took out a very thick volume of Lin Mansion's family rules from the small wooden box in front of the ancestral hall.

This book of Lin Mansion's house rules must be memorized by the servants and maids who have just entered the Lin Mansion.

Jiang Feng held the thick book of Lin family rules and placed it in front of Zhu Xianzhi with great care.

He said seriously, "Sir, you need to read it once."

Zhu Xianzhi said unhappily, "I am not a live-in son-in-law, why should I recite the Lin family rules?"

Jiang Feng replied: "The husbands of the two aunts have come here to read. This is the family rule of the Lin Mansion and cannot be violated."

Zhu Xianzhi had no choice but to hold up the Lin Mansion's house rules and recite them in a hoarse voice. Jiang Feng stood behind him, and when he saw that Zhu Xianzhi read a word wrong, he would correct him one or two and ask him to read it again.

After reciting for more than an hour, Zhu Xianzhi felt dizzy and his knees were numb from kneeling.

After finally finishing reading, he propped himself up with his thighs and stood up, only to hear Jiang Feng say, "Let's go to the ancestral hall next door."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi was almost breathless.

After going to the ancestral hall next door and taking a closer look, Zhu Xianzhi suddenly discovered that the Lin family's ancestral hall was divided into male and female sections.

After reciting the Lin family's house rules again, Zhu Xianzhi felt a swelling in his head and a buzzing in his ears. He finally stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall with Jiang Feng.

A maid came hurriedly and said, "The master said that lunch today will be served in Liuxiang Garden. He ordered someone to bring two pots of fine wine, saying that he wanted to have a drink with the son-in-law at noon."

Zhu Xianzhi's eyes darkened for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't dare to displease Lin Tingxu, so he had to walk slowly and follow Jiang Feng to Liuxiang Garden.

Before they had drunk three glasses of wine, they heard a "bang" sound. Everyone looked and saw Zhu Xianzhi lying on the ground drunk.

Lin Yuru stepped forward and looked at Zhu Xianzhi for a moment, confirming that he was really drunk. She stood up and wondered, "How come he is drunk after just three drinks?"

Lin Yuning asked, "What did my sister put in his wine cup?"

Lin Yuru replied, "Our Lin family has been running a herbal medicine shop for generations. Although I haven't learned it properly, I still know the herbs. Don't worry, elder sister and brother, I just added some tranquilizers to his food, not poison."

Jiang Feng stepped forward and felt Zhu Xianzhi's pulse, then looked up at Lin Yuru and sighed, "Auntie, you've added a lot of medicine. I'm afraid he won't wake up tomorrow."

Lin Yuru snorted, "I feel sick just looking at him. The Yongning Marquis Mansion deceived us like that, and I'm lucky I didn't poison them.

Manager Jiang, please have the servants throw him to the woodshed as soon as possible, so that I can have a good meal without having to see him."

Jiang Feng said gloomily, "Little aunt, throw him to the woodshed. How can we explain if he wakes up? If he finds out, will our young lady have a good life when she returns to Yongning Marquis' Mansion with him?"

You can't go to the Yongning Marquis's mansion every day to beat him up and vent your anger on the young lady, right?"

Lin Yuru held the chopsticks and said, "He will not wake up today. We can find him a decent bedroom tomorrow."

Lin Yuning nodded and said, "We can't place him in Yangxinzhai anymore. It's too dirty!"

The two sisters sang in unison, and Lin Tingxu remained silent, leaving Jiang Feng to handle it.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to call two servants to carry Zhu Xianzhi out of Liuxiang Garden.

The servant who didn't know the situation asked, "Butler Jiang, where are you taking my son-in-law?"

Jiang Feng's eyebrows moved, and he thought to himself: Instead of throwing Zhu Xianzhi into the woodshed, it is better to throw him to a good place.

He glared at Zhu Xianzhi again and spat, "How can you, a filthy fellow, sleep in the woodshed?"
