Chapter 22: The Shackles of Promise

"Master, it's not good! Oh no! ”

A few shouts caused a lot of commotion, and the grim and embarrassing confrontation situation in the hall was instantly broken by the butler who hurriedly broke in.

The chief housekeeper of the Yin Mansion trotted all the way into the door, and he didn't care about accusing him, but hurriedly crouched in Yin Yuan's ear to report something. Before he finished speaking, Master Yin's anger was already overflowing, and when he was about to get up, a noise came from the outer courtyard, becoming more and more obvious from far and near.

A moment later, amid the chaotic footsteps and shouting, everyone in the house walked into the inner courtyard with a man in royal blue clothes, who was in a sturdy shape and hurried straight to the hall.

Yin Suwen's knees were numb from kneeling, she only thought that Yin Xuanxuan, who she had provoked, turned around to provoke, but when she turned around, she saw a hurried blue figure running towards her. The figure was so familiar that she felt the urge to cry when she was so familiar that she felt the urge to cry.

The clouds broke through and the moon rose, and the cold light reflected on the wide cyan stone steps, and there was a blurred light and shadow swaying.

Zhang Shaoqing's face was solemn, his steps were hurried, and he turned around and neatly pushed away the people who were blocking him. He started quickly and heavily, and everyone was in a trance, and after only seeing a few dark shadows, all the members of the Yin family fell to the ground wailing.

Walked a few steps forward quickly, reached out and pulled Yin Suwen on the ground into his arms.

There was a familiar scent in his arms, and under his fiery chest was a violent heartbeat and rapid gasps, apparently rushing all the way.

"Why are you here? "

"Don't worry, let's take a look. Stop kneeling, it's cold on the ground. "

Zhang Shaoqing gently pulled up the scattered long hair for Yin Suwen, and her gentle fingertips brushed the thin blood marks on her face, and she blew softly with distress in her eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

Yin Suwen shook his head and stared at him quietly. His breathing was close at hand, his eyes were gentle and deep, as if nothing had happened, as if he was still the heroic young man in white shirt back then, holding her hand and saying, 'Don't be afraid, I will protect you'. How good it would be if the years did not change and it was still the same as when we first saw it.

"Presumptuous! "

A scolding interrupted the staring of the two. Yin Yuan's face had changed from iron blue to dry red, and his eyes staring at Zhang Shaoqing became more and more fierce, and he walked down the steps in a few steps and approached the two of them.

"Is this how the Prime Minister educated his son? Trespassing into other people's mansions, abducting and seducing a woman from a good family? If you want to send it to the criminal department, it will be enough to sentence! "

Yin Yuan never thought that this Zhang family kid would dare to go straight to his mansion alone.

"Prime Minister's Mansion Zhang Shaoqing visited Yin Shibo. "

Untied his fur cloak and draped it on Yin Suwen's body, Zhang Shaoqing turned around and knelt directly in front of Yin Yuan. After bowing respectfully, he said again.

"My little nephew had the honor of visiting Yin Shibo with his father ten years ago. This time, I came to the door without notification just because I was worried about Susu in my heart, which is really rude, and I hope that Shibo will understand! "

His words were sincere and frank, he said sorry without the slightest guilt on his face, and it was obvious that he had already calculated what he had done today.

"Hmph, young man, Hugh has to climb the relationship here! The old man is not yours, and the uncle has nothing to do with your Zhang family! If you can kowtow and apologize today, swear to sever contact with my Yin family from now on, and let you go in the same court as an official with your father, otherwise, don't blame the old man for being ruthless! "

The night is getting deeper and the wind is getting cooler, but the number of onlookers in Yin's mansion is gradually increasing. The gloating faces were mottled under the light and shadow, which made Yin Suwen's heart troubled.

"Shaoqing, I can handle it here, you better go back first! "

She wanted to pull Zhang Shaoqing up on the ground but was rejected by the other party waving her hand, and then listened to him whispered,

"It's okay, just wait, I have an important thing to tell you. "

The noble son of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion knelt in the courtyard of others late at night, and was frequently pointed at by a group of subordinates under repeated reprimands. Yin Su couldn't bear to ask, but Zhang Shaoqing didn't feel embarrassed, and still knelt down and looked straight at Master Yin.

"Shi Boyan is serious! It doesn't matter if you recognize your little nephew or not, Shaoqing just respects you and treats you as your own parent. And kneeling is not difficult, it is the etiquette that juniors should have, but this abduction of women and cutting off contacts, but I can never agree with it. "

From the moment he stepped into the Yin Mansion, Yin Yuan's anger erupted uncontrollably towards him, so much so that every word was aggressive and unceremonious. But Zhang Shaoqing is different, not only always showing his junior status, but also extremely modest in his words, and he doesn't care about the harsh scolding. In comparison, this elder seems to be a little less graceful.

"Oh, is that still the old man, do I blame you for the mistake? "

Shibo also asked to calm his anger, Shaoqing did not mean this. The Yin and Zhang families served the country as officials in the same dynasty, and they should be friendly and mutually helpful, and I don't think there is any suspicion about my Zhang family in the next year, but they just care about the relationship between Su Su and me. Since the little nephew dared to come alone today, there was nothing he didn't dare to admit. ”

He glanced back at Yin Suwen, who was confused, and took her hand and clenched it tightly before he said again.

"Su Su and I have known each other for many years, and we are in love with each other, although we have also experienced a lot of ups and downs, we have always recognized each other as lifelong partners. Shaoqing thinks that he is above board, and it is not embarrassing to say it, and his father has already known and agreed to this matter, and now he is only waiting for Shibo to nod and approve. ”

Zhang Shaoqing's affectionate explanation made many little maids on the lookers red-eyed, and many domestic servants knew that this confession should be regarded as the first time in the past ten years. For a long time, everyone only knew that the eldest lady in the house had a stubborn temper, and despite the opposition of the master, she had to be with the Zhang family's son, and even often secretly ran out for private meetings, and was not punished for this, but the Zhang family's son had never been to the Yin Mansion once, let alone any marriage and status. This sounds unbearable, everyone laughs at it as an after-dinner conversation, and the family laughs at their own young lady's lack of self-respect, but the little maids who are also women often pity her more, and sigh with emotion. Now, Zhang Shaoqing broke into Yin's mansion at night, and this kneeling was very touching in their eyes, but Master Yin obviously didn't buy it at all.

"Heh, love and fairness?! If you are in love, how can anyone linger in the Qinglou, often hang out with prostitutes, and even be caught and raped in bed? If it is above board, how can there be no name for ten years, and let a good daughter be poked in the backbone by gossip for nothing? ! Zhang family boy, since you mentioned 'love', let's talk to the old man today! ”
