Liang Shuyan was completely confused. What was wrong with her second daughter-in-law? She looked unwell and cried so sadly whenever she saw her. What was going on?

She began to think of that Deputy General Xiao, and then said, "Tell your mother, did that Deputy General Xiao bully you?"

Madam Liu shook her head vigorously: "Mother, no, it wasn't Deputy General Xiao, it was Erniu, he, he got involved with that woman from the blacksmith's shop, and now he's run away with that woman!"

After Liu finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Liang Shuyan thought about it again and again and felt that it was impossible. Erniu was a calm and well-behaved child. No matter how impulsive he was, he would not do such a scandalous thing.

Da Shan, who was following behind, muttered, "That rascal Er Niu must have been fooled by that woman and did something like this?"

Liang Shuyan suddenly turned around and grabbed Dashan's collar: "Tell me, do you know something that you're keeping from your mother?"

“Mother, Mother, I did see it, but I was afraid you would be angry, so I didn’t dare to say anything. I also thought that he’s a father now, how could he do such a thing? I thought that once the novelty wore off, it would be fine. Who would have thought?”

Did such a thing really happen?

Liang Shuyan snorted coldly, then ordered Sanwang, "Sanwang, bring out Mother's steel whip! Prepare the carriage, we're going to find Erniu right now!"

Then, glancing at the trembling Jin Dashan, he ordered, "What are you still standing here for? Lead the way!"

The blacksmith's shop is right next door, but since the blacksmith passed away, no one has come here to forge iron. It seems much quieter now, with some odds and ends piled up at the entrance, along with some scattered sheep dung and such.

A black wooden door, looking like it was about to collapse, was knocked on by Dashan after he got off the donkey cart. He then discovered that the door was not locked at all.

The door creaked open, and an old man coughed twice before asking, "What's going on? What are you doing here?"

Liang Shuyan asked in a deep voice, "Where is your daughter-in-law? I'm here to find my son!"

Just then, a woman came out from the backyard, glanced at the group, and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing here at our house?"

Da Shan stepped forward and politely asked, "Excuse me, is Jin Erniu here? We're looking for Jin Erniu!"

The woman's eyes darted around, and she suddenly became restless, blurting out, "No, what's wrong?"

Liang Shuyan stared intently at the woman in front of her, confirming again: "I'm warning you, you'd better be clear and not hide anything. If I find out you're lying, don't blame me for not warning you."

A voice came from the backyard: "Hongxia, who is it?"

The sound of the red glow made Liang Shuyan's stomach churn. She covered her mouth and ran to the side, squatting there like a pregnant woman, vomiting.

"Mother, Mother? Dashan, Sanwang, is that you?"

Da Shan looked at Er Niu with a hint of disappointment: "This time, it's your own fault for not being up to par. Don't blame me for being heartless as your older brother."

Liang Shuyan slowly stood up and asked, word by word, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be practicing martial arts at the martial arts school at this time?"

Jin Erniu's face immediately fell, and he stammered, "Mother, I... I have something to tell her, so..."

Liang Shuyan slapped him, and Jin Erniu took two steps back. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran back to the martial arts school.

Jin Dashan and Jin Sanwang said in unison, "That brat Jin Erniu dared to run away? Catch him!"

A group of people rushed out in a flurry. Liang Shuyan glanced at the woman, then turned and followed. She sneered inwardly, "This Jin Erniu really needs to be taught a lesson. She can't even raise her own son properly, how can she talk about educating others?"

Jin Dashan got angry, and he was really strong. He stepped forward and kicked Jin Erniu to the ground. He said pantingly, "Jin Erniu, have you gotten any tougher? Your mother asked you a question, and you dare to run away. Let me beat you up first!"

Behind her, Liang Shuyan entered. With a stern face, she said, "Dashan, tie up Jin Erniu! Gather all the brothers from the martial arts school!"

Jin Erniu is the headmaster of the martial arts school. After this incident, he only hopes to resolve it as quickly as possible.

But that's not the case. Liang Shuyan insisted on making Jin Erniu understand the consequences of his actions. Since he had become a father, he had to bear the corresponding consequences. How could he be completely without responsibility?

Deputy General Xiao came out with a group of brothers and politely saluted Liang Shuyan.

Do you know what Jin Erniu has been doing all this time?

Everyone fell silent, but Vice General Xiao stepped forward: "I know that Jin Erniu has been having an affair with the woman at the blacksmith's shop lately. He's neglecting everyone's martial arts practice. As soon as the woman next door calls, he runs off like a puppy. I reminded him that he has a wife and children and shouldn't do such things, but he said I was meddling, so I didn't ask any further questions."

"Deputy General Xiao, come here and whip him!"

When Jin Erniu saw Liang Shuyan hand the steel whip to Deputy General Xiao, he screamed in terror, "Mother, you can't be so heartless! No matter what, I'm your son!"

"Fight! Stop whenever I say stop!"

Deputy General Xiao glanced at the steel whip in his hand, said nothing, and began to whip it.

The sounds of cracking echoed through the martial arts hall, along with Jin Erniu's howls, while the surrounding soldiers shook their heads and sighed.

"Mother, if you beat him like this, won't you kill my second brother? What if you kill him?" Sanwang's lips trembled twice before he finally mustered up the courage to say it.

"Mother, I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have done such a disgraceful thing. But... but even with her big belly, Beibei's mother is still having affairs. What's wrong with me? I'm going to divorce that slut!"

Liang Shuyan shouted again, "Attack! Deputy General Xiao, hit him hard!"

Bloodstains were visible on Jin Erniu's body. He crawled tremblingly to Liang Shuyan, grabbed her skirt, and said, "Mother, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have done such a thing. I made a mistake!"

The news of Jin Erniu's actions quickly reached Old Lady Liu's ears, and she widened her eyes in surprise: "What? Erniu actually did such a thing?"

At that moment, Old Lady Liu fainted and lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Jin immediately scolded, "Who told Old Lady Liu about Erniu's matter?"

Liu knelt on the ground, crying, and said, "Grandma, when I was saying this to my mother, she overheard me, Grandma!"
