That night, apart from the Ye family, no one else could sleep.

Zou Shuang'er tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She wanted to wear her most beautiful dress to seduce the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he rejected her.

It's been more than half a month since I last visited her.

If this continues, she will surely fall out of favor.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Zou Wanqing asked from beside her.

"Wanqing, is your mother getting old? Your father doesn't come anymore."

"Mother, Father is also in a bad mood because of what happened today. Let's wait a few days. You can study properly during these few days."

Zou Shuang'er asked in surprise, "Study what?"

"In a few days, you will be the mistress of the house. If you don't have the ability to keep your father here, your position will be taken away by those concubines sooner or later."

"Doesn't Fourth Brother have a lot of yellow books? Why don't you go ask him for a few?"

Upon hearing this, Zou Shuang'er realized what it meant and blushed slightly.

"Wanqing, where did your fourth brother get all these books now that he's reformed?"

“Mother, don’t you understand the saying that it’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one’s nature? Fourth Brother stays in his own courtyard every day and doesn’t come out. I’m afraid he’s already become popular.”

Zou Shuang'er was greatly surprised.

Lin Shih-ming is only ten years old, how could he be so popular?

"Wanqing, how did you know?"

“Mother, I know about spells and can also read people. Fourth Brother’s face is dark and his eyelids are heavy. He must be doing this every day.”

...

At this moment, Lin Shiming was being pressed down on the bed, drenched in sweat, his naked body exposed to the air.

But he just couldn't make a sound.

The woman inside the house floated in mid-air and eventually transformed into a human.

"Hahaha... Husband, husband, husband."

Lin Shiming opened his mouth, his eyes wide, "Please...please..."

Upon hearing this, the woman's smiling face instantly transformed into a fierce expression. "Beg?"

"Hmph, dream on. To find you, I used ninety percent of my strength to evade the Black and White Impermanence and come to your side."

"Now you want to kick me while I'm at it? No way!"

Lin Shih-ming wept bitterly.

Hearing his crying, Qiaozhen, who was standing at the door, gave a sinister smile and quietly left.

She bought this talisman specifically for this purpose. Lin Shiming wants to escape? Not so easy.

Unless...death!

Lin Shixuan, who had been playing the imperial examination game recently, was not happy at all.

He is currently smashing everything inside the house.

The humiliation he suffered these past few days is the greatest disgrace he has endured in over a decade.

His eyes were bloodshot as he leaned on the table, breathing heavily.

"Aaaaaah!" he roared.

Liu Ruyan, who had intended to visit him, was terrified when she heard his angry voice and stood at the door.

The teacup in my hand fell to the ground.

With a loud crash, the angry Lin Shixuan was startled.

Liu Ruyan hurriedly turned around, trying to leave.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened, and Liu Ruyan was dragged inside by Lin Shixuan.

"ah--"

She screamed, and upon seeing the scene inside, she trembled with fear.

"My husband..."

"Slap!" Lin Shixuan slapped Liu Ruyan hard across the face and roared, "You slut, you're here to laugh at me too, aren't you?"

"You people always act so high and mighty, don't think I don't know."

Liu Ruyan shook her head, crying, "No, that's not how it is."

"I was just about to bring you some tea."

"No?" Lin Shixuan was enraged and reached out to grab Liu Ruyan's neck tightly. "So you came here to humiliate me?"

"Liu Ruyan, you'd better remember this."

"You were born to be my wife, Lin Shixuan's wife, and you will die as my ghost. You will never escape me in this lifetime."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to get married before I was of legal age. If you want to betray me after I've served my purpose, I wouldn't mind dying with you!"

Liu Ruyan was breathing rapidly, as if each breath took all her strength. She gripped Lin Shixuan's arm tightly with both hands, trying to break free from his control.

"don't want…"

Enraged, Lin Shixuan looked at his prey with murderous intent, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

"Hahaha, die!"

The lilac by the door was terrified when it saw Lin Shixuan's appearance.

She bit her lip hard.

Liu Ruyan saw her, pointed to the door, and said with all her might, "Ding...ding..."

Lin Shixuan's scarlet eyes suddenly looked over.

Dingxiang saw this and tried to escape, but Lin Shixuan grabbed her hair tightly.

"Get in here!"

"Ah—" Dingxiang was so frightened by his sudden action that she fell forward.

Lin Shixuan didn't let her off the hook at all, and directly stretched out his foot and kicked her hard.

"You bitch!"

You jinxes!

Liu Ruyan was panting heavily. When she saw Lin Shixuan hitting Dingxiang, she quietly hid behind him.

Before Lin Shixuan could see him, he suddenly ran out.

Dingxiang was kicked to the ground by Lin Shixuan. A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and she cried out, "Young Master, please, let me go!"

"My child!"

The next day.

Ye Lanyin and the others slept very well. When they woke up, they found that Lin Wanwan could actually take a few steps.

She knelt down in delight, exclaiming, "Oh my, my daughter, you're amazing!"

"Hehe..." Lin Wanwan smiled.

In my heart...

[Is walking a few steps enough to make you great?]

[Even the Heavenly Phoenix Chicken Feet can walk faster...]

Ye Lanyin: ……

Hua Xin ran in from outside the door, her face beaming with joy, her smile almost reaching her ears.
