The woman on the bed, however, did not believe it: "The Lu family has the Empress and the Crown Prince behind them. How can they just fall down like that?"

"If the Lu family doesn't fall, are you just going to make me wait forever?"

"How could that be? Even if the Lu family doesn't fall, I still have a way to marry you, it just takes some time."

"That idiot felt guilty towards me because he couldn't have children, so he listened to everything I said."

"If she miscarries this time, she will feel even more guilty, and then she will do whatever I say."

"Once I train her to be more obedient than a dog, I have plenty of ways to make her come to you and marry you."

"She can kneel to serve my mother now, and she'll be able to kneel to serve you in the future."

“Even if the Lu family asks, she will deliberately hide it, even at the cost of falling out with her own family.”

"Once the Lu family completely abandons this stupid daughter, you can do whatever you want with her."

"If you don't want to see her, I'll poison her with a bowl of medicine."

"If you want to spare her life, I'll let her serve you during your postpartum period and take care of our child."

Hearing Li Rongheng's words, the woman nestled in his arms and giggled sweetly: "Then let her be my foot-washing maid, which will save us the trouble of hiring a servant."

"Are you not angry now?"

"Hmph, you're good at making people happy."

"I'm not just talking, look what this is!"

As if by magic, Li Rongheng produced a pearl hairpin in his hand, the very one that Lu Ziwei had given to Madam Li.

Wow, what beautiful pearls! Where did they come from?

“My mother specially sent someone to the East China Sea to find it. She said that you gave birth to three big, fat grandsons for the Li family, so naturally you should be rewarded handsomely.”

"She herself is reluctant to wear this hairpin, but she is willing to give it to you. You are a great contributor to our Li family."

"Li Lang, you're so kind." The woman offered her red lips, and then the two became entangled again.

In the next room, Lu Ziwei was trembling with rage, wishing she could rush over and kill that despicable couple.

Looking at the hairpins on the woman's head opposite her, she thought of herself kneeling like an idiot serving her mother-in-law, and wanted to slap herself a few times.

Ha, how stupid!

No wonder he called her as stupid as a pig!

Isn't that just stupid? Someone gave her poison, but she treated it like sugar.

Someone gave her a wooden hairpin, which she treasured for a long time.

They harmed her to the point of having no descendants, yet she was trained to be as obedient as a dog.

Seeing that her eyes were bloodshot with hatred, Su Yujiao tried to persuade her, "Don't be impulsive. If you rush over now, you'll just get a beating and a scolding to vent your anger."

“If you go out and make a scene, it won’t be good for your reputation.”

"It's late at night, no one will know if you go out and make noise."

"This world is especially harsh on women. People who don't know the reason just think that you can't have children, yet they are jealous and intolerant of others."

"You can't explain it to each one individually."

"Why not make a big deal out of this and take it directly to the Emperor, present the evidence, and let the Empress stand up for you?"

"Not only should we not let those two adulterers get away with it, but we should also not let the entire Li family go."

"Their whole family bullied you; they deserve to die."

"Just bear with it for one more night. I wrote a letter to my parents three days ago and sent it back by express courier."

"Judging by the time, they should arrive tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Lu Jingming led dozens of his servants to surround the small courtyard.

Such a large-scale event attracted many onlookers.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, let's go take a look."

Bang!

Li Rongheng was sleeping soundly when the door was suddenly kicked open, startling him so much that he sat up abruptly and hurriedly covered himself with the blanket.

"who?"

When he saw who was at the door, he turned pale with fright and scrambled off the bed to Lu Jingming's feet.

"Father, why...why are you here?"

"It's not what you think. It's...it's because I was drunk and acted recklessly that I did such a foolish thing."

Lu Jingming kicked him away, then, enraged, kicked him several more times.

"Do you think I'm deaf and blind? You actually believe this kind of talk?"

"I heard from Weiwei's mother that your Li family is going too far, making my daughter kneel down to serve her mother-in-law meals?"

"You won't let my daughter eat, and you won't let her sleep at night?"

"At first I didn't believe it, but now I believe it completely."

"You son of a bitch, not only did you keep a mistress, but you even had three kids with her, and now you want to poison my daughter?"

"You fucking think there's no one left in my general's mansion?"

"How dare you humiliate my daughter like this?"

Lu Jingming has always had a loud voice, and now that he's angry, his voice is thunderous, clearly audible both inside and outside the courtyard.

The onlookers outside also heard the reason for the incident: it turned out to be a good show of a father-in-law catching his wife cheating.

But this son-in-law is such a scoundrel; no one could tolerate him.

"If my daughter were humiliated like that, I would cut him into a thousand pieces."

"That mother-in-law is no good either. She actually made her daughter-in-law kneel down to serve her. She puts on airs like she's in heaven."

Li Rongheng's face turned as white as paper, his mind went blank with shock. How did his father-in-law know everything?

"Father...it's a misunderstanding. I...how could I poison Weiwei?"

“My mother, my mother didn’t mistreat Weiwei either, it was all her own choice.”

"She felt guilty because she couldn't have children, so she did so much to be filial to her parents."

Clap clap clap!

Seeing that he was still trying to argue even when he was about to die, Lu Jingming gave him several more slaps.

"You son of a bitch, you still dare to argue?!"

"Search for me."

Several guards rushed in and pulled a package of oil paper from a drawer of the dressing table. Inside the package was white powder.

"Dr. Li, look what this is?"

"This...this powder is made from safflower and musk. Long-term use can cause miscarriage in pregnant women."

Enraged, Lu Jingming poured the entire packet of powder into Li Rongheng's mouth: "You like poisoning, huh? I'll let you eat your fill."

"Over the years, my daughter has gotten pregnant and then miscarried, one pregnancy after another. It turns out it's all your doing, your husband."

"You poisoned her on one hand, and then blamed her for not being able to have children, letting your whole family bully her."

"I'll kill you!" Lu Jingming's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he almost slapped him to death.

"Please calm down, sir. This beast is not worth your anger."

"Tie up the adulterous couple, and also tie up those three bastards, and hand them over to the Empress for punishment."

Li Rongheng looked panicked and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Father, it's all my fault, please forgive them, mother and son."

"They are innocent."

Su Xing'er, who was shivering under the covers, was moved to tears.

"Li Lang, there's no need to beg him. I'm willing to die with you."

Seeing them still so affectionate even as they faced death, Lu Jingming felt even more sorry for his daughter.

"Tie them up together, don't bother with them."

So the two of them were tied up naked and paraded through the streets like pigs on a stick.
