Bizhi said, "Madam, please think of a solution quickly. The black-hearted mother and son are planning how to destroy the young lady's innocence."

From Bizhi, we learned that Zhu Xianzhi returned to the Yongning Marquis's mansion and was severely scolded by the Yongning Marquis, who scolded him for how could he do such a thing after drinking horse urine.

Zhu Xianzhi said that it was Lin Tingxu who insisted on having a drink with him. He accidentally fell into the lake and caught a cold. He was drunk and unconscious after just a few drinks. He had no idea what he had done.

He also said that maybe Lin Yuru was reluctant to give him food for free, so she teamed up with Jiang Feng to frame him.

When Marquis Yongning's scolding was futile, he slapped Zhu Xianzhi twice and said that he had worked hard to support the Marquis Yongning's Mansion. If Zhu Xianzhi dared to mess things up, he would not be the first to let Zhu Xianzhi go. He told Zhu Xianzhi to go back to the West Courtyard to reflect on his mistakes, figure out how to apologize to the Lin Mansion, settle the matter, and quickly take Lin Luoling back.

Zhu Xianzhi was beaten and was so angry that he went to the house and beat up the two women without saying a word.

After Lan Wanshuang learned about this, she ordered Nanny Meng to call Zhu Xianzhi to her room and said, holding her Buddhist beads, "You are already married, why are you still so impatient when things happen?"

Zhu Xianzhi said angrily, "Although I don't drink, I wouldn't make such a big fuss. Whatever Lin Yuru said was the truth? He put a shit pot on me for no reason. Not only did he get beaten by my uncle, but he also asked me to go to the Lin Mansion to apologize. Why didn't he go?"

No one knows a child better than his mother. How could Lan Wanshuang not know that Zhu Xianzhi was a coward? He dared not take responsibility when something happened. Even if he was caught making a mistake, he would have a hundred reasons to shirk responsibility and pretend to be innocent, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Lan Wanshuang glanced at Zhu Xianzhi and said, "You don't know how to apologize, right?"

Zhu Xianzhi felt that everything went wrong since he entered the Lin Mansion. First, he accidentally fell into the lake and caught a cold. Then he was taken to the ancestral hall by Jiang Feng, where he knelt and read the Lin Mansion's family rules for the whole morning. He and Lin Tingxu were drunk before they drank three cups of wine, and he was punished to kneel in front of the servants at the gate of Liuxiang Garden in the Lin Mansion. He finally returned to the mansion, but no matter how he explained, he would not listen and was even slapped in the face.

Zhu Xianzhi angrily cursed every person in the Lin family he saw. His expression and tone made it seem as if the Lin family had conspired to bully him and he had no place to vent his grievances.

After smashing a tea bowl, Zhu Xianzhi said angrily: "Anyway, I won't go to the Lin Mansion to apologize and pick up Lin Luoling. My father-in-law has a gloomy face and is taciturn, and my mother-in-law is a difficult person to talk to. If you want to go, you and my father should go."

Lan Wanshuang sneered and asked, "Your father is good at eating, drinking and having fun. If you ask him to go to the Lin Mansion to clean up your mess, will he go?"

Zhu Xianzhi lay down on the couch and avoided the issue by saying, "I'm not going anyway."

Lan Wanshuang snorted coldly, "Your uncle is really calculating. He doesn't want to take responsibility, but he still wants to take the food and shop given by Lin for free.

Let your father and I throw away our pride and go to the Lin residence to be scolded, and then coax them with kind words."

Lan Wanshuang casually threw the Buddhist beads on the table, and her voice became even colder, "What are you going to do? Lin Luoling has just been married for a few days, and her parents-in-law personally came to pick her up. Are they trying to flatter her?

You can't indulge her in such things. Once there is a quarrel, there will be a third one. Do you think your father and I will have to pick her up if she hides back at her parents' home? If not, just let her come back on her own!"

Zhu Xianzhi stood up suddenly, his eyes shining, and asked, "Mother, do you have any good ideas?"

Lan Wanshuang said, "Didn't we fail to accomplish what we had agreed on before? Anyway, your friends have also taken our money. Ask them to spread the word in the next two days.

It is said that Lin promised to give Lin Luoling a dowry of 66 pieces of dowry to deceive the Yongning Marquisate. The Yongning Marquisate did not care and even prepared a generous return gift. However, Lin thought it was too little and insisted on keeping Lin Luoling at her parents' home. She insisted that the Yongning Marquisate prepare a generous gift before she could take Lin Luoling back.

Hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi raised his thumb and said, "Mother, your preemptive plan is really brilliant. I will do it right away."

Bizhi wrote down where Zhu Xianzhi went and who he met after leaving Yongning Marquis Mansion, and reported it in detail to He Jinchun and Lin Luoling.

After hearing this, Shen Yin was furious, "This mother and son really don't have any good hearts at all."

Lin Luoling seemed to have guessed it long ago. She smiled calmly, asked Biyou and Bizhi to leave first, and said to He Jinchun:

"They used a preemptive tactic, so we can use it too. Fighting poison with poison, isn't that good?"

He Jinchun's eyes lit up, and she turned around and asked Chen Yin to invite Lin Yuning and Lin Yuru to her yard, saying that she had something important to discuss.

The next day, before noon, the streets of Xuzhou were full of rumors: the second son of the Yongning Marquis accompanied Lin Luoling back to the Lin Mansion, got drunk, and insulted Lin Yuru for being a widow without children. When the Ningyuan Marquis learned of this, he would come to Xuzhou soon to ask the Yongning Marquis for an explanation.

By the afternoon, the rumor had become more and more bizarre and distorted.

When Marquis Yongning learned about this, he became furious. He led a secret guard to tie up Zhu Xianzhi, brought him to the door of his study, placed a bench there, and personally beat Zhu Xianzhi with a whip.

When Marquis Yongning's wife Fang heard that Marquis Yongning had beaten Zhu Xianzhi, she exclaimed that it was a good beating. She ordered the small kitchen to prepare some delicious food and heat a pot of wine. She felt so happy.

After Lan Wanshuang learned about this, she first went to Zhou Jiaoling's Lanxiang Pavilion to find Zhu Jingzhong, but unexpectedly Zhu Jingzhong was not at home.

Zhou Jiaoling also said that she didn't know where Zhu Jingzhong had gone.

Lan Wanshuang had no choice but to take Nanny Meng to the study of Marquis Yongning. She said all the nice things she could to get Marquis Yongning to stop, but failed. Instead, he beat her even harder.

Seeing this, Lan Wanshuang had no choice but to stand aside and cry, holding the handkerchief. This made Yongning Hou even more annoyed, and he beat Zhu Xianzhi's buttocks until it was soaked with blood.

Zhu Xianzhi kept wailing that he knew he was wrong.

Seeing the blood on the stick, Yongning Hou dropped it and said, "I will give you two days to bring back Lin's only daughter and find a way to appease Luo Ling's aunt. Otherwise, even if my second brother makes a scene, you, the second branch, will get out of Yongning Hou Mansion."

After saying this, Marquis Yongning turned away angrily.

Lan Wanshuang pretended to wipe away tears, walked to Zhu Xianzhi with grievance, and said, "You! Don't drink anymore in the future. This incident is really too much. Look how angry your uncle is."

Having said that, Lan Wanshuang glanced coldly at the closed study door of Yongning Hou, without feeling the slightest bit of fear in her heart.

After Marquis Yongning and Zhu Jingzhong separated, their second branch was not allowed to live in Marquis Yongning's Mansion. Isn't it because Marquis Yongning had the leverage over Zhu Jingzhong that he never mentioned asking them to move out of Marquis Yongning's Mansion?

Zhu Xianzhi was beaten so badly that he could not get up and walk. Lan Wanshuang had no choice but to ask Nanny Meng to call a few servants to carry a bench and take Zhu Xianzhi to her Chunlan Courtyard. She also called the court doctor to treat Zhu Xianzhi's injuries.

As the sky gradually darkened, Marquis Yongning suddenly developed a high fever for unknown reasons.

Zhu Jingzhong returned home after having a good meal and a good drink. Zhou Jiaoling was packing her clothes. When asked, Zhou Jiaoling said, "I heard that the second young master made the Yongning Marquis very angry. Not only did he beat the second young master, but he also wanted to drive our second branch out of the Yongning Marquis's mansion."

Zhu Jingzhong was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and turned around to go to Yunfang Court to find Yongning Hou to argue with him. He learned that Yongning Hou was so angry that he had a high fever.

After listening to the wife of Marquis Yongning's complete account of the whole incident, he was so angry that he ran to Chunlan Courtyard with his short legs. As soon as he entered the door, he slapped Lan Wanshuang who came to meet him without saying a word.
