Enraged, Shen grabbed Hongyu's hair and yanked it hard with both hands.

"You seduced my husband!"

"Shameless! No wonder you're slimmer than the average maid; you've climbed into the master's bed."

Startled, Master Zuo quickly grabbed Madam Shen and said in a panic, "Daughter-in-law, don't do anything foolish! If this leads to someone's death, we'll all be implicated."

"Quick, stop hitting him."

"Mu Ting, why aren't you coming over here and pulling your wife away? Do you want your whole family to suffer along with you?"

Lord Shen also knew the seriousness of this matter.

But how could he swallow this insult?

Her son-in-law is having an affair, and her daughter is suffering.

"Beat them, beat them to death if you want, but how dare you keep a mistress!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zuo's eyes widened in fright.

He quickly went to Lord Shen's side and offered words of comfort.

"My dear in-law, you mustn't be confused. Our Zuo family has wronged Wenxiu, but the rest of the Zuo family are innocent. If we really killed someone, wouldn't that implicate innocent people?"

"Quickly, Mu Ting, pull your wife away."

Zuo Muting also panicked, fearing that someone might actually die, so he forcefully pulled Shen away.

When Master Shen saw Zuo Muting start to attack his daughter, he rolled up his sleeves and joined the fight.

The three children sat on the wall, watching the others play with glee.

Every now and then, he would let out a sigh.

Lin Wanwan took out a teething toy from her bosom and chewed on it while looking at it.

Oh my, this is quite a show!

However, hehe, you're wrong, you're wrong~

Lin Chang'an was taken aback. What went wrong?

Then look at Yao Qianshu, who is beaming with excitement.

He continued to look into the distance.

"Shen Muting, how dare you pull me?"

“I have borne you children and raised children from other branches of the family. I have done my part, though I may not have done anything particularly meritorious.”

"Now you're actually going to lay a hand on me for the sake of a mistress?"

"I want a divorce!" she said angrily.

When Master Zuo heard this, he was terrified.

She immediately slapped her son across the face.

"Smack!"

"You unfilial son, look what you've done! You've ruined our family!"

Zuo Muting covered his slapped face, staring at his father in disbelief and astonishment. "Father, you hit me?"

"You unfilial son, I'm beating you for what you've done! Look at the mess you've made! Wenxiu is the only daughter-in-law in the Zuo family. If she divorces you, you'd better get out of the Zuo family and never come back!"

Master Zuo glared angrily at his son, his bloodshot eyes wide with fury.

This was the first time Zuo Muting had ever seen his father so angry with him. He calmed himself down and looked at Hongyu.

He truly never touched this mistress again after she entered the mansion as a maid.

That was the only time.

Moreover, he only discovered it after he woke up that time.

After that, we brought it back to our mansion, and it was always kept in my father's courtyard for sweeping and cleaning.

This was to prevent his wife from misunderstanding.

"Oh dear, Master Zuo is in a panic! His wife has run away!"

[The son has become the punching bag...]

Lin Chang'an: !!!

What's going on?

Lin Chang'an swallowed hard and glanced at Yao Qianshu.

"Money Tree, do you understand now?" He pointed to a spot not far away.

Yao Qianshu looked at Lin Chang'an as if he were an idiot.

"Idiot, can't you understand something this simple?"

"Lord Shen's son-in-law keeps a mistress just like your father, and then, like your maternal grandparents' family, comes to seek justice for his daughter."

"Master Zuo is trying to persuade Lord Shen not to get a divorce!"

Yao Qianshu gave him a disdainful look.

"But something doesn't feel right to me," Lin Chang'an muttered to himself.

[Hehe, Mr. Zuo is getting on in years, he's really enjoying himself.]

[I got a son by default, and now I have a daughter-in-law by default.]

[He kept a cheap mistress, and now he has two adorable sons...]

Lin Chang'an lost his balance and fell off the wall, startled by Lin Wanwan's inner voice.

"Chang'an!" Yao Qianshu exclaimed in surprise, his voice breaking through the courtyard.

A dull thud startled the people making noise in the distance.

Lin Chang'an fell flat on his face, wincing in pain all over his body, but dared not utter a sound.

Look, people are walking this way from a distance.

He forced a wry smile and awkwardly greeted the crowd:

"Hehe, aunties and uncles, I'm fine. I just slipped and fell from next door. Sorry to bother you all. I'll go back now. You can continue, continue..."

He struggled to his feet, his small frame aching, and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, walking with a stooped posture.

When Master Zuo saw that his family's shameful secrets had been seen clearly by a mere child, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Well, the Yao family's children have learned to climb walls now, eagerly peeping in. No wonder the Shen family knows about this!"

"So it was your Yao family who were behind this!"

Upon hearing Master Zuo's words, Zuo Muting's expression immediately changed.

Startled, Yao Qianshu quickly grabbed Lin Wanwan and climbed down from the wall.

"Unauthorized trespassing on this official's residence warrants being handed over to the authorities!"

"Guards, seize this child!"

Upon hearing this, the servants walked straight toward Lin Chang'an.

Lord Shen was taken aback. "What? Zuo Zongtang, do you mean you knew all along that your son was keeping a mistress?"

"No, in-law, how would I know?"

"It was this child who trespassed into my residence and witnessed the shameful affair between our two families. He must have been the one who told the story!"

Lin Chang'an was so frightened that he burst into tears.
