"Shen Qingtang!" Lu Jin was so angry that he trembled all over when he saw this scene.

He rushed over and pointed at her, shouting, "You're my wife! How dare you lay hands on another man! You have no shame!"

Shen Qingtang glanced at him, her tone full of sarcasm: "You can cheat on me, so I can't be uninterested in you? Who do you think you are?"

She paused, then suddenly raised her voice so everyone could hear: "Before your exile, you and Lin Peirou secretly met in the woodshed, and you even said that after I died, you would marry her and make her the mistress of the Lu family. Have you forgotten all of this?"

Lu Jin's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes darting around in panic, but he forced a straight face: "You...you're talking nonsense! When did I ever have a secret rendezvous with Pei Rou? Don't make false accusations!"

But he clearly lacked confidence, and his voice trembled as he spoke, which he hadn't expected.

Shen Qingtang actually knew about this! He was so discreet back then, how could she have found out?

Lin Peirou was also frightened and turned pale. She quickly grabbed Lu Jin's sleeve and weakly explained, "Cousin, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. You and I are just innocent cousins. She must have misunderstood..."

"Misunderstand?"

Shen Qingtang sneered, "Should I call the old servant who was guarding outside the woodshed to confront you? Or, should I tell you which pink ruqun Lin Peirou was wearing when you met in secret?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin and Lin Peirou panicked completely, and Lu Jin opened his mouth.

Unable to utter any further rebuttal, he could only clench his fists tightly, his eyes filled with guilt and panic.

Those around them, seeing their expressions, immediately understood what Shen Qingtang was saying.

It's all true!

These things were all retrieved by Shen Qingtang from her memories of her past life.

In her past life, on her deathbed...

Lu Jin and Lin Peirou stood in front of her, smugly revealing their true colors.

They said they had been having an affair for many years, meeting secretly in the woodshed, flirting in the garden, and even secretly making love in her room when she went back to her parents' home.

"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering Pei Rou's innocence!"

Lu's mother jumped out to defend Lin Peirou, pointing at Shen Qingtang and scolding, "Peirou is a lady from a respectable family, how could she do such a shameless thing!"

Lu Jin echoed, his face pale but still stubborn: "Yes! You're deliberately slandering Pei Rou! Trying to ruin the relationship between us cousins!"

But his eyes darted away, and his hands unconsciously clenched, revealing his guilty conscience.

Seeing their self-deceiving behavior, Shen Qingtang was too lazy to say anything more.

There's nothing to say to a dead person.

She turned to look at Pei Wuwang, and reached out to unbutton his outer robe, revealing his well-defined chest.

"Shen Qingtang! What are you doing!" Lu Jin saw this scene.

His face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he pointed at her, roaring, "You shameless bastard! You actually stripped another man's clothes off in public!"

"So what if I'm shameless?" Shen Qingtang glanced at him, her tone full of provocation. "You can have an affair with Lin Peirou, but I can't 'cuckold' you? Aren't you angry?"

Lu Jin was so choked by her words that he almost fainted, feeling a surge of anger rush to his head.

He had always treated Shen Qingtang as his possession, but now she not only hit and cursed him in public, but also stripped another man's clothes off in front of him.

They even bluntly said they would cheat on him, which was utterly humiliating!

He was so angry that he trembled all over. He wanted to rush up and stop her, but he was afraid of Shen Qingtang's strength.

He could only stand there and watch helplessly as Shen Qingtang examined Pei Wuwang's body.

His face alternated between pale and flushed, making him look like a clown.

Lu Jin was still trying to argue, his face flushed as he roared, "Pei Rou is still a virgin! My relationship with her is completely innocent, it's all just your wild imagination! You just can't stand to see us happy!"

Shen Qingtang gave a curt "Oh," her tone full of disdain, as if she were looking at a clown.

His hands didn't stop moving.

Continue examining Pei Wuwang's body.

She gently turned Pei Wuwang over, and when she saw his back, her eyes darkened slightly. His back was covered with scars of varying depths, old wounds layered on top of new ones.

Some were even still bleeding, clearly indicating that they had been subjected to severe torture.

“Father…” Pei Nian’an came closer and saw the wound on her father’s back. Her eyes instantly reddened and tears fell down her cheeks.

I reached out to touch it, but dared not, my heart aching with tenderness.

"It's alright." Shen Qingtang patted his head and took out a hemostatic and tissue-regenerating powder from her spatial storage.

She sprinkled the medicine evenly on Pei Wuwang's wound, saying, "Auntie is applying medicine to Father, and the pain will subside soon."

When the medicinal powder came into contact with the wound, Pei Wuwang's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Shen Qingtang acted swiftly and decisively, taking a clean strip of cloth and carefully bandaging him up.

The tightness is just right.

After the bandaging was finished, Pei Wuwang's complexion was indeed rosier than before, and his breathing was much more stable.

Shen Qingtang squatted down beside him and whispered, "When will you finally wake up? Your son is still waiting for you to protect him."

What she didn't know was...

Pei Wuwang was unable to move while lying down.

His consciousness, however, was perfectly clear.

He was beaten thirty times by the dog emperor and secretly given a muscle-relaxing drug, which is why he fell into a "coma".

Just now, I heard Shen Qingtang and Lu Jin arguing, the Pei family's indifference, and Pei Nian'an crying.

He heard everything, and felt both angry and anxious, but he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Hearing Shen Qingtang's somewhat helpless murmur, he felt a strange stirring in his heart; her voice was both delicate and spirited.

She possesses both the gentleness of a woman and a decisiveness that is rare among ordinary people.

It felt strangely familiar to him.

Especially when her hand landed on his face just now, her fingertips carried a faint herbal scent, fresh and pleasant.

It instantly stirred up a vague memory in his mind—a drunken incident from a few years ago.

He had a wild night with a strange woman, and when he woke up, the woman was gone, leaving only the same herbal scent.

He never knew who the woman was.

But at this moment, the familiar scent gradually overlapped with the person in front of him, causing a strange ripple in his heart.

He longed to wake up; he wanted to see this courageous woman who had protected his son.

He wanted to ask her if she was the same person from back then, and he also wanted to personally deal with those who betrayed him and hurt his family.
