As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 354 Self-defeating
"Mingpinxuan?" Qin Yi smiled slightly, and looked at Ding Yao playfully with unknown meaning.

He remembered that he did see Ding Yao buying paintings at Mingpinxuan a few days ago. He knew the business of Mingpinxuan very well, and he would never sell fakes by smashing the signboard, because he is the owner of Mingpinxuan, but few people know about it.Then there is only one possibility, stealing the beam and changing the post!

Thinking of this, Qin Yi looked at Ding Yao with a more scrutinized and inquiring expression.

Ding Yao narrowed her eyes and dodged her gaze.

"Your Majesty, the items in Mingpinxuan are always hard to find, and there will be no fakes. I think the minister's wife left in a hurry and took the wrong one. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

What she said was sincere, but the officials and ladies present were discussing a lot. They couldn't even tell whether Jiang Hanzi's paintings were real or not. The title of the most talented woman in Kyoto is also in vain.

"I took it wrong." Qin Yi looked at her with a half-smile, and nodded casually. He obviously didn't believe her words, but he didn't continue to make things difficult.

After all, she is still Lin Yinyi's concubine, so she can just vent her anger for the little girl.

Master Ding heard the news in the outer hall, he was anxious, and he was very dissatisfied with his daughter. This idiot actually made such a serious mistake on such an important occasion, and wanted to defend him, but he couldn't enter the inner hall.

He knew that his wife was even more stupid, so he was restless right now.

Since he married his daughter into the general's mansion as a concubine, his colleagues in the officialdom have a different attitude towards him. Such a person who only has interests in his eyes is a bit scary no matter how you look at it.

In the inner hall, Ding Yao knelt on the ground with a pale face, biting her lower lip tightly, with a pitiful appearance of Liu Chuchu being supported by the weak wind.

Li Xiaozhu frowned fiercely, and was about to speak, when Lin Yin stepped forward with a cold face, knelt on the ground, and said in a steady voice, "Your Majesty, your majesty, the concubine of a humble minister made an unintentional mistake and disturbed your mother's birthday banquet, and you deserve death I hope the empress thinks that she didn't mean it, so let her be spared once, and the minister is willing to fine her salary for one year to make up for one or two."

Lin Yin kept his back straight and his eyes were clear.

As soon as Lin Yin finished speaking, everyone's eyes were very different. Qiu Yeli raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Li Xiaoyue calmly.

She sat in the banquet with a pale complexion. She didn't speak, and she didn't even look at the man in the middle.

Li Xiaozhu glared at Lin Yinyi angrily. Fortunately, she still thought he was a good person, so she defended Ding Yao so openly. Could it be that all men are like this?Even if the woman he likes is gone, he can't refuse a beauty?What's more, this Ding Yao, in all fairness, is really good-looking, mainly because of her gentle temperament and the intoxicating aroma of books.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaozhu glared viciously at Qin Yi who was sitting opposite for no reason. The latter met her gaze and raised his eyebrows innocently. What does Lin Yinyi have to do with protecting Ding Yao?
Li Xiaozhu doesn't care about these things, she just feels unhappy now, looked at Lin Yinyi with a sneer, and said in a neutral tone, "General Lin's words are wrong, although Aunt Ding is your concubine, this birthday gift is not It was your instruction, whether it is true or not is not important, but Auntie Ding's actions are contemptuous of the Central Palace, it is really a crime of disrespect!"

Li Xiaozhu's voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm. He stared at Ding Yao with scorching eyes. Everyone present lowered their heads tacitly, but their ears were pricked up. Even if it was risky to listen to the excitement of the royal family!
"Please Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive me!" Lin Yin pursed his lips, but said with some stubbornness.

Everyone secretly thought, this Ding Yao has both talents and looks, and General Lin is a man of blood, so it is not impossible to be tempted.

Qiu Yeli's expression turned gloomy, but suppressed her anger and did not speak. Even though she knew that Lin Yinyi was pleading for the Lin family, not for Ding Yao, she was still a little unhappy. At this moment, what was going on in Yue'er's heart? Suffering.

Ding Yao was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Lin Yin to intercede for her in a short while, Dang even restrained her thoughts and tried her best to pretend to be weak and innocent.

"Mother, my son can prove that Aunt Ding didn't do it intentionally. In fact, she was in a hurry when she left the house. Maybe the maid pretended to be wrong. The original work will be sent to the palace tomorrow. Please forgive me."

Li Xiaoyue got up, Shi Shiran walked to the front of the hall, bowed her knees and saluted, and spoke calmly.

Her face was calm, showing no emotion, Lin Yin pursed his lips and looked at her back, inexplicably feeling flustered, he wanted to explain but couldn't open his mouth right now.

"Sister! What are you doing?" Seeing this, Li Xiaozhu frowned tightly and spoke hastily.

"That's all." Qiu Yeli's voice came down from top to bottom, "It's just a painting, since Yue'er has spoken, this matter will not be pursued, and General Lin will not have to be punished."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Several people said in unison.

Gu Jingyao looked displeased, seeing that Qiu Yeli had already spoken, he followed her, but looked at Ding Yao with deep displeasure.

The eunuch gave a very winky voice, allowing the banquet to proceed normally.

A small episode, but inadvertently changed a lot of things.

Li Xiaozhu looked at Ding Yao and Lin Yinyi sullenly, but her elder sister was eating leisurely like a normal person, ignoring Lin Yinyi's scorching gaze.

Men and women have different seats, but it's okay if they are husband and wife, Ding Yao just sat next to Lin Yinyi for an excuse, and he couldn't refuse it because everyone was watching.

Ding Yao peeled the grapes herself, handed them over with a smile on her face, and said, "General, the grapes that you paid tribute to are very sweet, General, try it?"

The woman had a sweet smell of makeup, Lin Yin frowned subconsciously, moved his body aside calmly, and said coldly, "No need."

Ding Yao withdrew her hand with a disappointed expression, her eyes filled with tears, she looked at him pitifully, "Yao'er knows that she has caused trouble for the general, and the general should be angry, but the general should not ignore Yao'er."

Her voice was not too loud, but just enough for everyone around her to hear.

Li Xiaozhu clenched her fists, wishing she could tear her green tea's face off, and looked at Li Xiaoyue angrily, can this be tolerated?Yes, her elder sister can really bear it, but no matter how she looks at her expressionless face, she is not in a good mood.

Li Xiaozhu glared at Qin Yi, and the latter gave her a calm and calm expression. Even if Ding Yao was to be dealt with, this occasion is not appropriate now. Ding Yao is not only Ding Yao, but also a concubine of the General's Mansion , every word and deed represents the General's Mansion, it is impossible for Lin Yinyi to stand idly by.

Li Xiaozhu suddenly died down, and could only lower his head to vent his grievances on the food in front of him. Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his lips, curious about Gu Jingyao and Qiu Yeli. How can a human being cultivate such a cheerful and innocent personality like Li Xiaozhu.

Forget it, since he chose her, let him protect her in the future, even if she is so innocent all her life, it doesn't matter.
