"Tell me about it." Yun Zhihan answered with his eyes closed.

System: "The news that you and Bai Yuan went to the brothel yesterday spread throughout the Marquis' Mansion."

"What?" She suddenly sobered up a lot. "Didn't I tell those maids and servants not to spread rumors? What about the trust between these servants?"

The system reminded, "Hanhan, you forgot that this is in ancient times, and the sound insulation is not good. Even if they don't say it, some people who overhear the news will tell it."

"Yeah, that's right." Yun Zhihan continued to ask, "Then how did they spread it?"

"They said you disguised yourself as a man and secretly met other men at night. You even brought the eldest son with you, trying to get him drunk to cover up your tracks."

Yun Zhihan was speechless. These people could make a big fuss out of any gossip they spread.

"And early in the morning, this matter reached the ears of Mrs. Xie. She was furious after hearing it and broke several valuable teacups."

"what?"

Yun Zhihan was no longer calm. If he was angry, he would be angry. Why did he throw something? Besides, those teacups were top-grade goods. If they were put in modern times, they would cost thousands of yuan a set.

Old Madam Xie really doesn't know how to take care of things. It seems necessary to reduce her monthly allowance.

The system heard her thoughts and kindly reminded her, "Hanhan, this is in ancient times. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can only be submissive. You are not allowed to mess around, otherwise your life span will be shortened."

Yun Zhihan: Dog system, always going against me.

System: "Humph! You're cursing again."

"What? Did I say something wrong? The Marquis's Mansion is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside. There is not much left of the family property. If it weren't for my dowry, they would have died of poverty."

Yun Zhihan was not convinced, but then she thought, there is no need to confront him head-on, as long as she handed over the power of household affairs, wouldn't that be enough? Even in ancient times, the husband's family could not use the daughter-in-law's dowry at will.

Before she could think about it, the maid Shuanghua saw that she woke up and walked in.

"Madam, are you finally awake?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Yun Zhihan saw that she was a little anxious, as if something happened.

"The eldest young master woke up at the Mao hour today and has been kneeling outside. He has been kneeling for an hour."

Yun Zhihan curled her lips. This child is either standing outside or kneeling as punishment? How did the mistress in the original story educate her child?

"Hey, let him in, stop kneeling."

"Yes, ma'am!"

After a while, Shuanghua came in with Xie Baiyuan.

As soon as he entered the door, he began to apologize for what happened yesterday.

"Mother, what happened yesterday was all my fault. Please punish me."

For some reason, Yun Zhihan felt that this child was hopeless, his mind was filled with only his sage books.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xie Boyuan replied in a serious tone, "My son was drunk yesterday and behaved in a very ugly way, bringing disgrace to the Marquis's residence and causing disgrace to my mother. I hope you will punish me."

After saying that, he knelt down again.

Yun Zhihan was helpless, "Get up, a man's knees are made of gold, what does it mean to kneel all the time?"

After hearing this, Xie Baiyuan stood up again.

She continued, "I don't think so. Although your behavior yesterday was a little out of line, you have matured a lot and can take on responsibilities like a decent man."

Hmm? Xie Boyuan was extremely flustered. Why did his mother say that? Was she going to give up on him? Was she unwilling to entrust the Marquisate to me?

"Mother, please calm down. Your son will work harder in the future to study and be a good person. I promise that what happened yesterday will never happen again."

Yun Zhihan shook his head helplessly. This child has become stupid from reading too much. It seems that educating a child is really a long road.

"Yuan'er, what I say is from the bottom of my heart." So she recounted to him everything that happened between her and Miss Murong Yu yesterday, so that he could understand her bravery.

After Xie Boyuan heard this, he immediately understood why his mother was so angry and felt even more regretful.

"Mother, please rest assured. I will definitely take care of Miss Murong Yu's affairs and will never let this matter become a burden to you. If Miss Murong is willing, I am willing to marry her and protect her for the rest of my life."

Yun Zhihan was completely speechless about his son, so he agreed with him and said, "It's good that you think so, but everything depends on what the girl thinks."

"Son, I obey."

Hearing his mother's relief, Xie Baiyuan finally let go of the stone in his heart.

In fact, he really liked the glorious self he had yesterday. Although he couldn't remember many things, the feeling of being reckless was still fresh in his memory.

The system sensed his true thoughts and responded, "Increase the points by 20."

"Hmm?" Yun Zhihan asked curiously, "What happened? Tongzi."

"Bo Yuan began to accept himself as he was yesterday."

"I see. Has this kid learned to say one thing and mean another? Not bad, he's made progress."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinshang ran in in panic.

"lady!"

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"The old lady asked you to come over. It seems that she is angry because of what happened yesterday."

"I understand." If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster. If it is a disaster, there is no way to avoid it.

"Yuan'er, you should go back first and have a good rest. You will be taking up your post at the Imperial Palace in a few days, so don't be careless."

"Yes! Mother. Yuan'er will take his leave."

Yun Zhihan asked the maid to change her clothes, and she finally came back half an hour later.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Old Madam Xie looking at me with a cold brow and looking as if she wanted to eat someone.

Sitting next to her were her half-brother and sister-in-law Yuan. She could vaguely see some joy on their faces.

"Mother, why are you in such a hurry? I wonder why you are looking for your daughter-in-law?"

"Humph!" Madam Xie threw the teacup on the table and asked, "Where were you at midnight yesterday?"

Yun Zhihan answered truthfully, "I took Yuan'er to the brothel."

"How dare you!" Seeing her frankness, the old lady felt that this daughter-in-law simply didn't take her seriously. "It's ok for you to be so arrogant alone, but how could you bring Yuan'er with you to cause trouble?"

"You know that he just passed the imperial examination. If this matter were known to others, Yuan'er's future would be ruined. How can you be a mother?"

Before Yun Zhihan could refute, the sister-in-law started to sneer.

"That's right, sister-in-law. Yuan'er is the hope of our Xie family. If this matter gets to the emperor and his chances of becoming an official are cut off, you can't afford it."

The half-brother was very satisfied with his wife's words and said, "Sister-in-law, mother is right. Besides, I heard people in the mansion gossiping that you are restless and secretly meet other men at night."

Hearing this, Yun Zhihan couldn't stand it anymore. This sentence is an insult to women even in modern times, not to mention that it happened in ancient times. In serious cases, the offender could be executed directly.

"Brother Shu, do you have any evidence for what you said? How dare you say this out loud based on the nonsense of a servant? Where is the family tradition of the Xie family?"
