The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhao was visibly stunned and was speechless for a moment.

Yu Ying'er actually refused?

Mrs. Zhao could hardly maintain the smile on her face.

"You don't want to? Could it be that the Zhao family is not worthy of you?"

After saying this, Madam Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip seemingly casually.

But anyone could see that Madam Zhao was filled with anger at the moment, and her aura made Yu Ying'er's heart tremble.

"Old... Old Madam, calm down!"

Yu Ying'er quickly kowtowed to the ground.

"It's not that Ying'er looks down on the Zhao family, but Ying'er knows that she is of humble origin and has a bad moral character, and she is afraid of tarnishing the Zhao family's good reputation for generations!"

"Oh? Then tell me, what is wrong with your conduct?"

"Reporting to the old lady, I...I went to the prison of the city defense camp to visit my fiancé."

Yu Ying'er seemed to have mustered up her courage to say this.

"what?!"

When she heard the words "city defense camp", Madam Zhao paused and glared at Yu Ying'er in the face.

"It's unheard of that a girl like you went to the city defense camp prison!

Even if she went to visit her fiancé, it would be too uncultured. We are girls from good families and we are innocent. As the saying goes, 'You can't enter the government office in your lifetime, and you can't go to hell in your death'. How can a girl from a good family go to such a place?"

After saying this, Mrs. Zhao still had some anger left.

"Grandma may not know, she is not going to see her fiancé."

When Mrs. Zhao heard what Zhao Huayin said, she looked up at Zhao Huayin with a puzzled look on her face.

"When she went to see that man, her parents didn't even know she had such a fiancé.

We only learned about this marriage when she was escorted back by the Fourth Prince himself and the city defense battalion guards, and when he confronted her father and wanted to punish her.

But if his father does not approve of this marriage, the Fourth Prince will have to take his sister back to the city defense camp for a thorough interrogation.

Father really had no choice, please forgive me, Grandmother!"

After Zhao Huayin finished speaking, she still stood respectfully beside Shen Bi.

"It was the son and daughter-in-law's fault. I was afraid that such a thing would disturb my mother's peace, so I let it go.

My mother is so tired that she has to worry about this matter now. I am really ashamed as a son!"

As they spoke, the two of them were about to kneel down and kowtow to Old Madam Zhao.

Old Madam Zhao stepped forward and grabbed Minister Zhao.

The nanny beside Old Madam Zhao was quick to act and supported Shen Bi.

"I didn't know there was such a hidden story behind it."

Old Madam Zhao looked at Yu Ying'er with a slightly gloomy gaze.

"This matter concerns the reputation of a daughter, and you grew up in the Zhao family. If you make any mistakes,

The Zhao family will inevitably be implicated by you, so if that's the case, you should just get married properly to avoid giving people a reason to criticize you."

"Yes! Mother has thought it through, and so does my son. Since the matter has fallen into the hands of the Fourth Prince, we must be more cautious.

So as to avoid any other troubles."

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this.

Everyone in the capital city knew that last year Miss Qian had a huge quarrel with her husband's family over the cancellation of her engagement, and the quarrel finally ended up in the city defense camp.

Miss Qian cried in the hall, thinking that the Fourth Prince would do justice for her.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince ordered both families to be arrested.

I don’t know if it was Miss Qian who displeased the Fourth Prince, so the Fourth Prince “incidentally” investigated the Qian family.

From then on, there was no more Qian family in the capital.

Miss Qian was even tattooed on her face and exiled to the smoky and dangerous area in the southwest.

This is also the reason why Yu Ying'er was so scared after being caught by Yan Qi.

"It's Ying'er's fault. Ying'er has failed the teachings of the Lord and Madam. The Zhao family has been very kind to Ying'er. Ying'er will never dare to bring trouble to the Zhao family again!"

Yu Ying'er kowtowed on the ground again and again.

Looking at Yu Ying'er, who was lowering her head and looking pleasing at this moment, Zhao Huayin felt only cold in her heart.

If she could truly be grateful, she would not be Yu Ying'er.

Everything at this moment is just a matter of assessing the situation.

But Zhao Huayin will never give Yu Ying'er any chance to breathe in this life.

Everyone in the hall was paying attention to Yu Ying'er, and no one noticed Zhao Huaqin standing next to Old Madam Zhao.

Zhao Huaqin lowered her head slightly, her eyes were dim, and her fingers were tightly twisted together.

But after a moment, Zhao Huaqin had sorted out her thoughts and spoke softly,

"Grandma, you've been out for a long time today. You should go back home and take your medicine."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhao looked at Zhao Huayin and her family of three lovingly.

"Lang'er is now the Minister of State, and he has his own thoughts. Bi'er has always been thorough in managing the inner house, and I don't need to interfere in the affairs of the Minister's Mansion anymore.

I am old after all, and when people get old they are always worried about this and that, ah..."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhao sighed softly.

Like a sigh to myself.

"It's good that Yu girl's marriage has been arranged. It won't cause any trouble to the Zhao family, and it's also good for her. In this case, I won't stay any longer."

After saying this, Old Madam Zhao stood up, and Minister Zhao and his wife stood up blindly to salute.

"Mother rarely comes here. How can I feel at ease if she leaves now? It would be better for her to go back with Perfect."

The couple surrounded the old lady and went to the flower hall next door to have their meal.

Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Zhao Huayin breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's matter has finally been resolved. Now that the old lady has made the decision, no one will bring it up again in the future.

But the fact that the old lady would come over still made her feel very uneasy.

There must be someone behind this who is fanning the flames.

"Send her back to her own yard."

Liuyun received the order and personally sent Yu Ying'er back.

Zhao Huayin had something on her mind. She finished her meal in silence and returned to her own yard.

Liuyun poured a cup of tea for Zhao Huayin.

"Miss, I just discovered that the peony in Miss Yu's courtyard is missing."

Zhao Huayin suddenly looked up at Liuyun, as if everything suddenly connected.

"Have you asked the people in the hospital?"

"I asked, and the maidservant beside Miss Yu said that the flowers had withered, and Miss Yu didn't like them anymore and asked to move them away.

But I asked the servants in the flower room, and they said that this peony can bloom for at least ten days, and the peonies from Miss Yu’s courtyard were delivered less than five days ago.”

"Do you know when it was moved?"

"I asked the gatekeeper and he said it was moved away last night."

The peony was moved away last night, and today the old lady came over to ask about Yu Ying'er?

Zhao Huayin didn't think this was just a coincidence. After all, Yu Ying'er's dormancy and subsequent betrayal in her previous life were still vivid in her mind.

There must be something strange about that pot of peonies.

Is it...

A light bulb went off in Zhao Huayin's head. That peony was actually the secret code between Yu Ying'er and the person behind him?
