Dingxiang stood beside Lin Shixuan, crying, her voice thick with emotion.

"Young Madam, please don't scold me anymore. It was my fault."

"This matter is entirely my fault, no matter how many mistakes I make."

"If you wish to have me beaten to death, I... I will grant your wish."

She closed her eyes as she spoke, letting the tears fall.

She gripped the handkerchief tightly.

Liu Ruyan said angrily, "Yes, it's your fault, you're the one who deserves to die."

"Cuiyun, what are you standing there for?"

"Drag her away and beat her to death!"

Cuiyun said in a panic, "Yes...yes, young mistress."

Lin Shixuan quickly shielded Dingxiang behind him, shouting, "Stop!"

Even if he disregards Dingxiang, he will still care about the child.

What if it's a son?

"You—" Liu Ruyan's anger grew even stronger when she saw him protecting Dingxiang like this.

She came straight at Dingxiang, but Lin Shixuan gently pushed her, and she fell to the ground.

She was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she cried her heart out on the ground.

Seeing that things had finally reached their climax, Ye Lanyin acted as a peacemaker and stepped in to protect Liu Ruyan.

"Ruyan, get up quickly."

Then, she looked at Lin Shixuan with disappointment, "Shixuan, she is your wife, how could you push her?"

"What are you doing here before Mother has even spoken?"

"Even if you are pregnant, shouldn't you ask your mother and father?"

"He neglected his newlywed wife, slept with her maid, and even got her pregnant!"

"You secretly had an affair with the maid and even pushed away your wife who had her hair done up. Have you ever thought about your reputation?"

"His Majesty values ​​his reputation most!"

It is absolutely impossible for a man with a tendency to commit domestic violence to become a compiler in the Imperial Academy.

The chef is someone who serves His Majesty. In addition to having exceptional talent, he must always maintain a stable emotional state.

To become a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, one must pass the palace examination, gain the emperor's favor, and be among the top three.

Lin Shixuan was so frightened that he took a step back.

He immediately pushed the cloves away.

He cannot, absolutely cannot, let anyone know about this.

He shook his head, looking at Ye Lanyin with a pleading expression.

what to do?

What should he do?
