Chapter 88

  The second child escaped

  Now that the wedding has been settled, something like this happened in Lin's family. Although according to the etiquette of Daliang, such relatives who deceive and cheat the emperor do not need to observe mourning, but in reality, emotions are another matter.

  Yin Ruofei sighed. Her sister was already eighteen this year, and her birthday was in January, several months older than her cousin Lin Yun'er. It's just that they were both delayed by their families.

  After sending Lin Yun'er to Er Jie's place, taking advantage of Biao Jie going to bathe, he briefly told Er Jie a few words, and then hugged Xiao Mei tightly again. Only then did Yin Ruofei return to his own courtyard.

  Before he returned to the mansion, he saw Kobayakawa's wife running over with her hair disheveled and throwing herself to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

  "Seventh Master, spare our lives! Seventh Master, Auntie knows she was wrong... please let your uncle and brother go... Auntie is kowtowing to you... " Little Lin's wife kowtowed while crying out, "For the sake of your mother's face, spare us poor mother and son. Sister... sister..."

  "Since I entered the Yin family as a concubine, this aunt of yours hasn't been mentioned!" Yin Ruofei coldly stared at the person kneeling in front of her.

  This Xiao Lin still plays this kind of trick to this day, is he an idiot? Opening and closing his mouth, pretending to be a maternal figure, but he doesn't know that if she didn't mention his mother, he wouldn't hate him so much.

  "Seventh Master, Seventh Master, that's your own brother! Even if you don't care about my face, you should at least consider your mother's face, your father's face, the old lady's face... Seventh Master..." Little Lin shouted hysterically. "You can't avenge personal grievances..."

  "Are you all dead? Letting Erniang shout and yell here, where is the discipline?" Yin Ruofei was too lazy to bother with Xiaolinsi. Just now she had just taken in her son, what's the point of this, "Yin Jintang committed a crime with his own body, plotted against the emperor, he also dared to intervene, I, the Marquis of Zhenjiang, have been implicated enough by him. Your words are dissatisfied with the current Emperor, dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, and dissatisfied with Ze Wang?"

  The servants around had long been intimidated by Yin Ruofei's aura, and after hearing what he said, they didn't dare to say more, and quickly pulled up Xiao Linshi.

  At this time, Chen's wife also came out. She had just given birth to a chubby son less than half a year ago. With Yin Ruofei and the Chen family helping to take care of her, Chen's wife was not as weak as other women who had just given birth, but instead looked even more plump and rosy.

  Although she looked okay on her face, she was still worried about Yin Haicheng's expedition, and there were a few points of fatigue.

  "Take Lin's wife back to Liyuan and don't let her come out casually." Chen Shi was the mistress of the house, speaking with great momentum. As soon as she spoke, the people beside her didn't hesitate at all and took Lin's wife away by dragging and pulling her.

  Kobayashi's face turned pale, and at this moment she could feel that the Lin family was completely finished. Originally, Chen still called her "Mrs.", but now it was just "Lin's wife", and the people around her didn't show any surprise, which showed that they had already accepted it in their hearts.

  There's still Marquis, there's still Marquis!

  For more than a year, she has been trying her best to get him here, and even asked her two sons to make several appearances. She deliberately served him with courtesy and finally regained some of the affection they had in the past.

  Just as she was about to get angry, the Lin family had such a big incident. The Lin family, that is the Left Prime Minister, that is the Minister of War, how could it be, how did it end up in such a situation? And her son, the youngest son closest to her heart, the son who could make plans for her, was now trapped in prison, and she had no way to help him. And her eldest son, who was favored by the Marquis and was related to her safety, had not returned home for several days.

  "Mother."

  "You're back." Chen smiled. He knew that if it weren't for this child in front of him, the Zhenjiang Marquis's manor might not be so peaceful. Just one person involved in the incident, Yin Jintang, was enough to severely injure the Yin family. The Lin family's relatives were all executed, and even those who were slightly involved, such as the Bo Manor, the General's Manor, and the Duke's Manor, were demoted and punished, not allowed to serve in office.

  Yin Haicheng had been sent out early, and when the incident occurred a few days ago, she hurried back to Fuyong Bo's mansion. Fortunately, Old Master Bo saw through the situation and comforted her.

  Chen knew in her heart that from now on, this Marquis of Town Jiang's estate would probably have to rely on the child in front of her.

  "Mother, go back and rest first, little brother is still young, don't let him get scared." Yin Ruofei smiled slightly.

  "En, you should rest early too. Don't worry about Old Madam's place." Chen Shi had already explained the situation to Old Madam, and she wasn't a foolish person, but just sighed that Xiao Lin was harming her husband and son, nothing else. "It's fine even if we go later."

  "Yes, in that case, Mother, Fei will take his leave." Yin Ruofei bowed and turned to return to the Jianyuan, he had been busy for several days and was indeed exhausted.

  Zi Ling and Zi Yun both found their husbands in the past two years, arranged by Old Madame and Chen Shi. People say that the sisters have good eyesight for men, and they will get married in the autumn month.

  Yin Ruofei had already delivered the dowry he had prepared to their hands, and both girls were so moved that they wished they didn't have to get married, and instead spend this life taking care of this young master Yin Ruofei, making the old lady laugh non-stop.

  At this time, Yin Ruofei returned, and Zi Lingzi Yun had already received the news. The hot bath water was ready early, and Zi Yun had also rushed to the small kitchen to make a few dishes for Yin Ruofei to nourish his body.

  "Zi Yun's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Mei Mei took a bath, and Yin Ruofei finally recovered some of his energy, changed into new clothes, and ate the small dishes Zi Yun made for him.

  "Seventh Grandfather likes it, Zi Yun will do it for Seventh Grandfather for a lifetime."

  Yin Ruofei burst out laughing, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't let Ziyun Jie marry him, and instead, you'll be the one who's worried."

  Several dishes, all of which were Yin Ruofei's favorites, but they took a lot of time to prepare. Usually, he would rush back home and wouldn't have the chance to eat them easily. Now that something big had happened, he could finally stay at home for several days.

  After dinner, after having tea, Yin Ruofei slightly refreshed his spirit and went to Fushouyuan. Of course, he let Ziyun go to Erjie's place, calling Erjie's younger sister and cousin to go together.

  "Grandma, grandson is back." The never-ending courtesy made the old lady heartbroken every time.

  "Fei'er, come quickly." The old lady patted the space beside her, letting Yin Ruofei sit down.

  When Yin Ruofei came back, the old lady knew it, and Chen Shi also sat here for a while. She also knew that Yin Ruofei must be extremely tired and probably wouldn't come today, but he still did.

  The grandfather and grandson said a few words, then the three sisters also came over.

  The old lady called Lin Yun'er to her side, and from Yin Ruofei she had already learned that Lin Yun'er was pardoned by the emperor's secret decree, but now there was no longer a Lin family, and she didn't mind Lin Yun'er living in this marquis' manor.

  The poor child is here. The old lady held Lin Yun'er's hand, with a lot of pity. This girl has had a more bitter life than those girls in the Hou Mansion, but between her eyebrows and eyes, there was no cloud of sorrow, only a peaceful and gentle look, which made her take a second glance.

  "Madam Yin's family..." Lin Yun'er felt a bit embarrassed. In those days, the old lady had lent her a helping hand with food, but what could she do about her own family situation? Her parents and grandmother were all in poor health, and after Madam Hua used some tactics to pressure her, she was forced to stay at home to take care of them, which really disappointed the old lady's kindness.

  "If you don't despise me, just call me 'grandmother'." The old lady sighed and said, "From now on, you can live safely in this manor. Don't think about anything else, I'll find a good marriage for you."

  "Thank you, Grandma."

  A few people chatted and laughed, making Lin Yun'er relax. Chen Shi also rushed over and had already sent someone to clean up the courtyard not far from Rui Qi's side. She also picked a few honest and obedient little maids, along with one of her own senior maids, to serve Lin Yun'er.

  The siblings naturally expressed their gratitude, and the old lady also felt relieved. Everyone was very tacit in not mentioning Yin Jintang, who had almost brought disaster to the Hou Mansion.

  Yin Ruofei relaxed at the Hou Mansion for a few days, but Rong Jingze was too busy to take care of him. There were still many things to deal with afterwards. However, he was also afraid that there might be remaining remnants, so he ordered Yin Ruofei to return to the Hou Mansion and assigned several guards to escort him.

  Even so, a few days later, Rong Jingze still came to the Hou Mansion in Zhenjiang with an iron face.

  "Your Highness."

  "Yin Jintang is gone."

  "What?"

  "The person who was caught wasn't Yin Jintang at all. After being tortured for a short while, he died from poisoning. Only then did they discover that it was an imposter!" Ze Wang slammed his hand on the table in anger. Although this matter couldn't affect the overall situation, it made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly, feeling extremely disgusted. Moreover, he also knew that among the people in the Hou Mansion, Yin Ruofei should be the one who hated Yin Jintang the most, yet not only did he fail to avenge him, but he even let him escape with his life.

  "How detestable." Yin Ruo Fei was also angry. He had originally planned to let Rong Jing Ze and the others capture him, get the information they needed, and then thoroughly capture him again. Unexpectedly, he still had the ability to run away.

  "Indeed, indeed, the force behind it has not been fully revealed yet." Still having the mind to save people, probably hasn't pushed the opponent to the end of the road.

  "Your Highness, don't be angry." Yin Ruofei softly comforted, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. There will definitely be a day to capture them."

  At this time, in a secret mansion in the capital, several men in gray clothes were bowing to a man who was leading them, "Your Majesty, we should leave as soon as possible."

  "Yes, Your Majesty. Now that the power in the capital has been eliminated by more than half and those useless Lin family members have all been killed, we are just wasting our time here. Why not quickly join forces with General Sun and others to achieve a great cause!"

  "How detestable!" The man slammed the teacup down in a fit of rage, "Just as he had lost several cities, that surnamed Yin has now recovered them. It was also him who blocked me back then!

  "That young master of the Yin family..." A man in gray clothes asked, kicking the person on the ground at the same time.

  "Hmph. He's also a abandoned son now, apart from here, where else can he go? Afraid to go home, that Marquis Yin would probably kill him with one slash."

  Yin Jintang, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered all over his body, and he also knew that this was the truth.

  He had never been sincere with the Hou Manor from start to finish.

  For Yin Haicheng, the biological father, he is the second son and also a illegitimate child. However, his elder brother who is also an illegitimate child is loved by him as if he were a precious treasure, just like a phoenix egg.

  He is not as good as the eldest son, nor is he as good as the legitimate son. He can't even compare to Chen's newly born youngest son.

  The only one close to him was his mother, Lin Shi, who also had no brains and needed his help in making decisions.

  Later on, two uncles discovered his strengths and let him participate in many things, and he seemed to have found his mainstay.

  He didn't know that the two uncles were plotting something sinister. As a young master of the Marquis's household, why did he have to get involved in this muddy water?

  Now everything is too late, the person who saved his life doesn't look easy to get along with either, and seems to be a mastermind behind two uncles. For now, there's nothing but to take it one step at a time, trying to make this man feel like he's not useless, not being discarded.
