Chapter 117 Wait for my divorce letter
It was still early and not yet time for dinner, so the two of them were strolling around the house, chatting about random things, and Cuizhu came up quickly from behind.
"Madam, I just heard a piece of news. The servants in the mansion are saying that the master intends to take Miss Yi into his room."
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. This was not unexpected. She thought it was a matter of time, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Madam has been locked up in the Buddhist hall these days. She forced her way out today. I just heard the servants discussing these things in the front hall, and they are still making a fuss in the room now." Cuizhu's tone contained a hint of gloating.
The old lady is the housekeeper now. She thinks that Miss Yi is a good person and saved the master's life. She thinks that Miss Yi will have a high status in the future, so it would be best to take the housekeeper power away and let the lady learn a lesson.
She had so much fun bullying the young mistress in the past, and she deserved to have a miserable old age. Cuizhu suddenly realized that her thoughts were too vicious, and quickly put her mind at rest.
Lin Yuxi glanced at Yang Chenchuan, who had a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with him. She curled her lips and said nothing. A maid hurried over: "Uncle, aunt, it's time for dinner."
After sitting down at the table, Liu was nowhere to be seen, but Yi Qing was there. She looked rounder than when she first arrived, and her features were very beautiful. She wore light makeup, and when she smiled, there were two small dimples on her cheeks, making her look pretty and cute.
Yi Qing met Lin Yuxi's gaze, smiled and nodded politely, and said some congratulatory words. Lin Yuxi didn't have much contact with her, but she still left a good impression on her.
Master Lin pulled Yang Chenchuan and threatened that he would not return until he was drunk today. Lin Yuxi naturally knew that Master Lin loved to drink, but she didn't know how much Yang Chenchuan drank. She had never heard that he loved to drink. She thought about whether she should prepare some hangover medicine for him in advance, asked the old lady for a hangover medicine, and then turned around and reminded Yang Chenchuan.
It's a rare occasion for them to come back home, so it's better not to get too drunk. If they don't act crazy, it's fine. But if they do, they might be scolded when they get back, and it would be inconvenient to serve them in the carriage.
Yang Chenchuan muttered, “My alcohol tolerance is not that bad. I won’t get drunk even if I drink a whole jar. Besides, I don’t want to let my wife worry about me.”
Lin Yuxi glanced at him and said angrily: "You are not serious."
Then he desperately picked up some food for him to keep him from getting upset in the stomach. Yang Chenchuan really enjoyed this process.
The other people at the table glanced at the two of them in an ambiguous manner, making her blush.
After three rounds of drinking, Master Lin and Yang Chenchuan both looked normal. They laughed and said, “Today I finally met my match. Come on, come on, keep drinking.”
Yang Chenchuan didn't act pretentiously. He raised his glass and started drinking with Master Lin. Lin Yuxi was embarrassed by this and prayed in her heart that she didn't get drunk.
Seeing how they were drinking, the old lady didn't urge them to drink more, but just told the two men to eat more food first. Yi Qing, who was sitting next to Mr. Lin, also picked some food for him, which were usually his favorites. Mr. Lin ate happily, and looked at Yi Qing from time to time, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Lin Yuxi had been paying attention to the interaction between the two. She didn't know whether Yi Qing was sincere to Master Lin, and she didn't mind Yi Qing sitting at the table. But after all, the two of them were not in a proper relationship now, and the principal wife was nowhere to be seen.
While she was thinking about this, Liu rushed in.
"You little bitch, do you think you deserve a place next to my master? Get out of here."
As soon as Liu came in, she started cursing and staring at Yi Qing with an expression as if she wanted to eat him.
Yi Qing was startled and dropped his chopsticks. He quickly stood up and stood aside. When Master Lin saw his face, he pulled him down and scolded loudly: "Didn't I tell you to send your wife to the Buddhist temple? You ignored my words, didn't you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two maids came to pull Liu away. Liu refused to obey and struggled to retort: "Master, I am your legally married wife. Why should I enter the temple while that shameless bitch can sit next to you? I am the mistress of this family. It would be embarrassing if my aunt returned home without the mistress."
Liu's words were right. She was the mistress after all. It was her duty to come out and show respect when Lin Yuxi returned home. But she kept calling her a bitch and even used these unbearable words in front of the younger generation. Master Lin became furious and pointed at Liu's nose.
"You are being unreasonable and unrepentant." Mr. Lin was extremely angry but couldn't say anything too harsh. His face turned red with anger as he pointed at Liu's nose.
Yi Qing stepped forward and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
"Shut up! It's not your turn to speak here. You are not surnamed Lin and you are not a member of my family. What qualifications do you have to speak and why do you have the right to eat at the table?"
Both of Liu's hands were held by the old woman and she could not move. She could only stare blankly, hoping that God would open his eyes and let her stare the vixen to death.
"It's you who should shut up. Qing'er is my savior, so why can't she sit at the table? But you, if you keep making trouble, you'll be waiting for my letter of divorce." Mr. Lin slammed the table so hard that the dishes on the table began to shake and clank.
Liu was stunned for a moment, and indeed did not dare to speak again, but her eyes showed grievance, unwillingness, anger, resentment, and a feeling of despair. She asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Master, you really don't care about our relationship for a vixen?"
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the old lady said, "The master is drunk, help him down to rest."
Then he winked at the maid beside him, and the maid reacted very quickly. Without saying a word, she came to support Master Lin.
Master Lin refused to give in, and pushed the maid away, snorting, "I'm not drunk, I don't want to argue with you, go down."
After saying that, he sat down dejectedly.
The old lady winked, and the two maids understood and immediately dragged Liu away. After Liu left, the old lady smiled and tried to liven up the atmosphere, asking everyone to eat quickly.
After Liu's disturbance, everyone lost interest. Yi Qing regretted it very much. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made such a fuss. He bowed to the old lady and Mr. Lin guiltily: "Old lady, Lin Lin, you guys eat, I'm full and will go down first."
Master Lin shook his head and said, "We have just started the banquet, you are not full, please sit down and eat together."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan and apologized, "It's all Dad's fault. You guys finally came back and you're still unhappy."
Lin Yuxi quickly said to comfort him: "Daddy, when did you become so polite and distant? I am your daughter."
Yang Chenchuan also said: "Yes, father-in-law, every family has its own problems. Who doesn't have some quarrels? As long as the family is safe and harmonious, it is better than anything else."
Mr. Lin looked at them with satisfaction. He was content to have such a sensible daughter. He only hoped that Yu Rou's spirit in heaven would bless her with a peaceful life and a loving and harmonious marriage. He had no other requests.
