It was already late, but An Xiuyuan was still lying in bed. Since his divorce from Yunzhi, his life had been getting worse day by day. Not only was he having trouble in his official career, but his marital life was also disharmonious and terrible.

He even wondered if Wang Yuzhen was his nemesis. Before, when she wasn't around, everything was fine. Now that he'd married her, things were different. Not only with her, but with other women too.

Wang Yuzhen knew An Xiuyuan was in a bad mood, so she gently and considerately coaxed and pampered him. Otherwise, if An Xiuyuan blamed her one day, how could she and her son have a good life?

An Xiuyuan had actually been awake for a while, but Wang Yuzhen was taking good care of him, so he didn't want to get up.

Unexpectedly, he overheard the old woman's words and learned that people from the Xu family in Jiangnan had arrived. He immediately jolted and knocked Wang Yuzhen to the ground, then quickly got out of bed.

Wang Yuzhen, lying on the ground, looked very unhappy as she watched An Xiuyuan leave without caring whether she had fallen or not.

But she didn't dare to vent her anger on An Xiuyuan, so she could only take it out on the Xu family who had ruined her plans.

Therefore, disregarding her pain, she immediately had someone come in to help her wash up, and then hurriedly chased after An Xiuyuan.

Xu Liang and the others followed the gatekeeper in. Before they even entered the courtyard, they saw An Xiuyuan come out with his clothes disheveled.

It is said that when enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred.

An Xiuyuan's treatment of the girl raised by the Xu family is worse than that of an enemy.

Therefore, the moment Xu Liang saw An Xiuyuan, he rushed over and started beating him mercilessly.

An Xiuyuan never dreamed that the Xu family would start fighting in the blink of an eye. Moreover, it wasn't just one person, but several.

Indeed, seeing their fathers start fighting, Xu Cheng and Xu Lin were naturally unwilling to be left behind, and they joined in punching and kicking An Xiuyuan.

As for the others, although they didn't take action, they weren't entirely idle either. They had to block the servants of the An family from advancing.

Fortunately, since Yunzhi left the An family, their living conditions have declined sharply, and the number of servants has been reduced by more than two-thirds. Otherwise, with just a dozen or so people, they might not be a match for the An family's servants.

Wang usually gets up quite early, but for some reason last night she indulged in a good meal and woke up several times during the night, which is why she woke up late the next day.

She had a habit of not being disturbed while sleeping, otherwise she would get very angry. Therefore, the messenger arrived early, but had to wait for Wang Shi to wake up.

When Wang heard that the Xu family had actually come to their door, she was furious. She felt that the Xu family was disgracing the An family, so she summoned all the servants in the courtyard and headed towards the courtyard where her son and daughter-in-law lived.

Upon entering the courtyard, they saw the Xu family members blocking the people from approaching, while Xu Liang and his sons were beating their son until he was screaming.

The screams were like her heart was being ripped out.

As for her good daughter-in-law, she's hiding further away than anyone else, afraid that she might also suffer the consequences.

Needless to say, Wang was furious. As a mother, how could she bear to see her son being bullied like this? So, she immediately ordered the maids and servants around her to go forward and pull the people away.

She felt that any man with a shred of decency would not lay a hand on a woman.
