Huang Haichuan had no feelings for Zheng Pei anymore. Mingyue was someone he had just recently acquired. She was charming, had a great figure, and knew how to please him. Huang Haichuan was quite fond of her at the time. When she said that, Huang Haichuan immediately believed her seven or eight parts. Mingyue stopped talking before she finished speaking, and she also got angry. "What else? Just say it all at once. Why are you stammering?"

“Madam also said that I am extremely lowly, and that you are lowly if you are with me! She also said that the old master is just like you, and that he also likes lowly people!” Mingyue said.

"I never said that!" Madam Zheng wanted to speak when Huang Haichuan came in, but Mingyue kept talking and talking, and she was interrupted by Mingyue every time she tried to speak. But after hearing this, Madam Zheng finally couldn't help but shout, "Huang Haichuan, I only came to ask you why you withheld Kang'er's things. Kang'er is not dead yet, he needs medicine!"

"I think you're a despicable woman!" To everyone's surprise, Huang Haichuan ignored Madam Zheng's words and swung his arm to slap her across the face.

"You dare to insult me, but you even dare to insult my father! Get out of here! Go back to that other courtyard and stay there with your dying son!"

Madam Zheng and Huang Haichuan had been together for twenty years. Over those twenty years, their feelings for each other had long since cooled, or even disappeared. But this was the first time Huang Haichuan had hit Madam Zheng, and it stunned her completely.

When others said that Huang Haichuan was withholding Huang Yikang's things, Madam Zheng was furious, but she still held a sliver of hope for Huang Haichuan. After all, this was Bai Nuo's steward's place, and all the servants lived by Bai Nuo's approval, trying to do something to please him. But now, hearing Huang Haichuan say this himself, Madam Zheng's last bit of hope was shattered, leaving only boundless rage.

"Kang'er is already like this, and you're still cursing him? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, Huang Haichuan, are you even human?" Madam Zheng couldn't take it anymore and rushed over to fight with Huang Haichuan.

The two servants in Huang Haichuan's courtyard had been lying in wait outside Huang Haichuan's room ever since Madam Zheng entered. Hearing the commotion inside, they whispered to each other, "Should we go in and stop them?"

"Maybe we shouldn't?" another said. "This is ultimately a matter between the masters. Besides, Miss Mingyue is still inside. Master doesn't want us to see Miss Mingyue."

“Then let’s go tell the young mistress!” After thinking for a moment, the person who spoke first said.

The other person nodded.

The two of them ran quickly out of Huang Haichuan's yard.

Bai Nuo had nightmares all night and felt unwell after waking up. This discomfort persisted even after she took her medicine, and she still felt dizzy. She didn't want to come to Huang Haichuan's courtyard, but she heard that Huang Haichuan and Madam Zheng were fighting. Hu Mingmei wasn't there, and Huang Wenbai's courtyard was too far away. By the time Huang Wenbai and the others arrived, they would probably have killed one of them and decided the victor.

With no one else in charge, Bai Nuo had no choice but to come in person.

Wang Mama and the others were worried about her, so they left Shaoyao in the courtyard to watch over things. Bai Nuo then took Wang Mama, Mudan, and Shiyi to Huang Haichuan's courtyard.

"How is it?" As soon as Bai Nuo arrived at Huang Haichuan's door, the servant immediately came to greet him. Bai Nuo saw that he had been waiting there, so he asked.

"They're still fighting inside!" the servant whispered. The howling and wailing inside was terrifying to hear.

As soon as Bai Nuo walked in, she saw Huang Haichuan sitting on Madam Zheng, and a woman wearing only a bodice sitting on the bed. Bai Nuo scolded, "Don't stop yet, Second Uncle, do you want to beat Second Aunt to death?"

Bai Nuo said to Eleven, "Eleven, go and pull them apart!" These two have gone mad. Even when others arrived, they acted as if they hadn't heard what anyone was saying and continued to fight.

When Mingyue saw Bai Nuo arrive, she stood up and curtsied to her. "Young Madam, you've arrived! Please separate Master and Madam. If they keep fighting, someone will die!"

Knowing that someone was about to die, why didn't she pull them apart and instead just sit and watch? Bai Nuo had no liking for this kind of woman. After Eleven pulled Huang Haichuan away, Granny Wang and Peony went up to help Madam Zheng up. Madam Zheng's face was covered in bruises, her nose was swollen and her hair was disheveled; she looked very seriously injured.

"Shall we talk outside?" Bai Nuo sneered. Even though she didn't like Madam Zheng, seeing Madam Zheng like this, she still thought Huang Haichuan was a complete scumbag.

The Hu family can't take concubines, so wouldn't it be better to just stay with one person and live a good life? But Huang Haichuan is different; he brings one woman after another into the family, and now he even beats them.

"Peony, go and fetch a doctor!"

"Bai Nuo, this is a matter within my courtyard. Do you think it's appropriate for you to interfere?" Huang Haichuan's face was scratched by Madam Zheng, leaving a disfigurement. He didn't feel anything when the fight was raging, but now that he stopped, his face was in great pain.

The tone of his voice was also extremely offensive.

“Logically speaking, I, as a junior, shouldn’t interfere in what happens in my second uncle’s courtyard!” Bai Nuo glanced at Mingyue and said with a half-smile, “But since someone was beaten, I, as the head of the household, can’t just ignore it. Of course, if my second uncle thinks I’m too low in seniority, then we can go and find the Prefect of the Capital.”

"No need to call the doctor!" Madam Zheng, who had been sitting to the side, suddenly spoke up. "Bai Nuo, I don't want this year's monthly allowance, and neither does Kang'er's. Please, could you please get him some medicine? Without it, he will die!"
