Qiqige looked at Lin Hongmin and Li Qing again, with gloating on his face. Lin Hongye glanced at his mother, lowered his eyes and sat upright. Qiuyue hurriedly stood up. Li Qing raised his fingers. Qiuyue immediately stopped, lowered her eyes and sat back.

A sarcastic smile flashed across the corner of Li Qing's mouth, staring at Lin Hongmin, and his voice slowly opened his mouth.

"I heard that you scolded my guest just now. This is the first time I have seen you! Not to mention the ladies of a noble family, or girls from poor families, but you are like you? You are not young this year. After a few years, you will be so domineering in front of your mother-in-law. You have called me a few mothers. I can't watch you keep being so spoiled and rude, causing you to lose your end and ruin the reputation of the Lin family! You go to Wuzhuan, copy the scriptures for a few years, and calm your heart!"

Li Qing's tone became cold, and he turned his head and ordered Liuli,

"Immediately ask someone to send her to Wuya Temple, and no girl is allowed to take her! Tell Yue Ru that in addition to her unfamiliar hair, she will copy out five additional pages of scriptures every day, just like the nuns in the temple! Let me tell Madam Zheng that she will send someone to take the scriptures she copied for me every ten days! Send it to me now! When will it calm down and when will it take it back?"

Lin Hongmin widened her eyes in horror and screamed:

"You dare! Why are you? I want to find my ancestor! You..."

Li Qing's mouth raised up, he looked at her with his eyes squinted, picked up the cup, and slowly started to drink tea. Several women immediately stepped forward to grab Lin Hongmin and put her feet out.

Mrs. Su looked at Li Qing with shock, and the tea in Mrs. Wang was holding the mouth, and she was stunned. Old Mrs. Yang's eyebrows jumped, and there was a strong admiration in her eyes. She turned her head to look at Li Qing. Lin Hongye subconsciously opened her mouth wide, looking at Lin Hongmin who was forced out in disbelief. Qi Qi's eyes were round and stared at Lin Hongmin being taken out. She couldn't come back for a moment. Lin Hong's sleeves were lowered in her arms, trembling. Qiu Yue sat upright with her eyes calmly lowered her eyes. Old Mrs. Yang's eyes swept across Qiu Yue, and a silky appreciation flashed in her eyes.

"I have always been in poor health, and I am so busy that I am neglected all the big and small things in this family. Now, Hongmin is indulging in this way. The aunt at home has to entrust her to her parents' home. Oh, it's all my fault, and she is not good at it! Today I really make you laugh."

Li Qing said in a slightly depressed voice. Mrs. Wang recovered, put down the cup in her hand, and said with a hurried smile:

"Every family has a difficult sutra, which one is not like this?! The lady has done a great job. If it is not good, and if it is still self-blame, we will be ashamed!"

"It's only two years since the wife got married. Sometimes, the wife wants to take care of these things. Mrs. Don't blame herself like this! What does it have to do with her?"

Mrs. Su hurriedly persuaded her, and everyone started to persuade her, while she was lenient and silently changing the topic. Gradually, the topic became more and more distant. In a short while, it seemed that nothing had happened, and everyone started to talk and laugh with relaxed faces.

Before the end, Li Qing sent Mrs. Wang and others to the second gate, got in the car and went back, and entrusted Lin Hongxiu and Lin Hongzhi to Mrs. Wang, asking her to take the two back to Pingyang Mansion.

After sending everyone away, Li Qing leaned tiredly on the east chaise, his eyes gradually became hazy, his eyelids drooped down little by little, and he took a purple-red embroidered lilac branch and silk cotton quilt to clamp it over, covered her with the toes, quietly pulled the curtains, sent the bamboo branches to sit beside him and watched, and walked out with a slight effort.

The next afternoon, Sun Yi was waiting at Wangxiang Post early, stretched his neck and looked at the post road towards Shuangshan City, and anxiously waited for King Ping to come back.

At the beginning of Shen, he saw a group of dark clouds coming quickly in the distance. Sun Yi hurriedly got on the horse and galloped over to the horse team.

Sun Yi greeted King Ping and bowed immediately, reporting:

"Master, the concubine has been anxious to find you since last night. I asked her four or five times this morning, and I reported to the concubine and came to welcome her."

King Ping held the reins and asked in surprise:

"What happened?"

"When I say that, it's probably for the sake of the eldest lady. Yesterday, the eldest lady was sent to Wuya Temple to practice her self-cultivation by her wife."

King Ping raised his eyebrows, and Sun Yi hurriedly replied:

"I heard about this last night, so I asked someone to ask carefully. The lady invited the old man, the third master's mansion, the Wen Mansion, the Zhang Mansion, and the Yang Mansion to visit the village. At the luncheon, the eldest lady competed for a seat with Miss Qiqige. Miss Qiuyue stepped forward to persuade him. The eldest lady said to Miss Qiuyue, "A lowly slave, dare to teach me?! What are you?!" After the luncheon, in the clouds and water, the eldest lady became angry and said those snacks, "I can't eat such crude things! My grandfather's family can do it.

Dim sum is called dim sum, what are these things!’ The lady blamed her for being too irritable and said to the eldest lady, "It's the first time I see you when I see you in this family!... You are not young this year. After a few years, you will be so domineering in front of your mother-in-law. You have called me a few mothers. I can't watch you keep being so spoiled and rude, causing you to lose your end and ruin the reputation of the Lin family's family!' Then she sent someone to send the eldest lady to Wujie Temple and asked her to copy the scriptures and calmly."

"The dim sum made by her grandfather's family is called dim sum!"

Ping Wang gritted his teeth and repeated in a low voice, his face became purple and his eyes were cold, and he turned to look at Sun Yi and asked:

"How did the concubine know?"

"If you are right, the second and third lady will follow Mrs. Wang into the city last night. Mrs. Wang sent the two ladies into the second door and went back."

Sun Yi reported in a low voice. King Ping hummed heavily, and did not speak anymore. He only shook the reins violently and ran towards Pingyang Mansion.

In Chunhui Courtyard, the old concubine looked sad and frowned and leaned on the couch, staring out the window in a daze.

There was a sound of calm and familiar footsteps in the yard. The old concubine's eyes lit up. She hurriedly sat up straight and looked at the door. The little girl raised the curtain. The Ping Wang walked in with a thrilling look and bowed to her. The old concubine looked at Ping Wang with a smile on her eyes, pulled him to sit on the couch, and asked her about her diet and daily life in a trivial way. She ate well? Are she sleeping well? Are she tired?

King Ping smiled and answered patiently. The girl brought tea and snacks over. The old concubine Wen looked at King Ping drinking tea and ate another snack, and then asked tentatively:

"Hongmin was sent to Wuzhuan by her mother. Have you heard of this?"

King Ping nodded calmly, Old Concubine Wen sighed long, her eyes were a little red, and she said sadly:

"Hongmin has lost her mother since she was a child. I always feel sorry for her. Among these grandchildren, I love her the most, not only because of this, nor because she is a legitimate child, but your eldest daughter. I just think this child is rare to be well-behaved and sensible on weekdays. I can't understand why a wife can still think of her as a sensible child? She can't make up her mind and send such a young child to the nunnery? Even if she doesn't let a girl take care of her, what exactly she wants to do? I have also heard that she is a guardian of the law. No matter how noble she is, she is still the daughter-in-law of our Lin family. She has to follow the rules of being a wife, right? You can't be too indulge her. No matter how noble she is, she is, but my eldest granddaughter is!"

The old concubine Wen became more and more angry as she spoke. She sat up straight and her voice slightly raised. King Ping frowned and waved his hand to repel the maid who was serving in the room. Looking at the old concubine Wen, she explained in a low voice:

"I'm afraid you're worried about Hongmin, so I haven't told you in detail. In spring, several mothers said that they were sent to visit Hongmin from Prince Anfu's mansion. Do you still remember?"

Old Concubine Wen nodded, and King Ping looked at his mother, sighed softly, and continued:

"Hongmin went to Yutanshan to worship his mother, and did not stay in Yutanshan to fast, but followed the mothers to escape to Qingguo, and..."

King Ping paused, lowered his eyes, paused for a while before continuing:

"Those mothers are not from Prince Anfu's mansion, but from the second prince of Qing Kingdom. If you want to abduct Hongmin, you can't threaten me, and you will ruin the reputation of the royal family. This is one. Yesterday, in Shilizhuang, Hongmin was domineering and shouted in public, 'Only the snacks made by her grandfather's house are called snacks!'. Li was also helpless and punished her to go to Wuzhu Temple to copy the scriptures to Jingxin for a few days."

Old Concubine Wen opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at King Ping in disbelief.

"How is this possible?! Hongmin is such a well-behaved and sensible girl. This must be someone who wants to ruin Hongmin's reputation. This must be a nonsense!"

King Ping frowned, looked at the old concubine Wen, and sighed.

"Mother, Hongmin is eleven years old this year, and she is about to discuss marriage. With such a reckless and domineering personality, how can she serve her parents-in-law and husband after marrying? Her mother loves Hongmin and wants to think longer-term for her."

Old Concubine Wen stared at King Ping in a daze, shook her head slightly, and King Ping looked at Old Concubine Wen with gentle eyes, sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice:

"Yesterday, my sister-in-law and Su were both here, and my mother asked them to come over and ask them all to know."

Old Concubine Wen's eyes became wet, she sighed a long time, and said sadly:

"No need to ask, where can anyone deceive you? Nothing can be hidden from you? Since you say that, how can there be any falsehood? Hongmin's child is what I saw growing up, and I thought that she was just a little stronger. After all, she is the eldest daughter of our royal family, so it is inevitable to be proud! Unexpectedly, this is a bit stronger. Then don't worry if you don't have any snacks. She is a child's house, but she just talks casually. How can she listen to the truth? I copied the scriptures for a few days and asked someone to pick her up. Even if she gets married in the future, she is your daughter. Who dares to bully her? Being proud is not a big deal."

King Ping smiled and nodded in agreement. He accompanied Mrs. Wen for another half an hour before getting up and leaving.
