Before General Wang could speak, Madam Wang knelt down.

"Young General, please, save me and my daughter."

"Sister-in-law, please get up and talk to me first."

Madam Wang ignored all that and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Shang Huai.

"Please, General, save me and my daughter, otherwise, we will only have one way out: death."

General Wang said angrily, "Stand up! You're crying and kowtowing like this, do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

Madam Wang rolled up her sleeves, revealing that both arms were covered in scars.

"Ever since my husband returned to the capital, he has developed bad habits of drinking and gambling."

"At first it was fine, he only lost his monthly allowance, but later he became insatiable and made me take out the T-shirt that the general had given me back then."

“If I don’t give it to him, he hits me.”

"He gambled away all the family's money, so he thought about selling his children."

Madam Wang spoke with tears streaming down her face, “My eldest daughter has already been sold by him. It is I, as her mother, who was unable to protect her.”

"I only have my youngest daughter left. Even if I die, I will protect her."

General Wang kicked Madam Wang to the ground, saying, "You wretched woman, you didn't even give me a son, and you're still causing so much trouble."

Shang Huai quickly stood up and helped Madam Wang up.

Shang Huai questioned, "General Wang, what are you doing?"

“Back in the military camp, I often heard you mention your daughter.”

Shang Huai was puzzled. "Your words were full of affection, so why would you sell your daughter?"

When Shang Huai first arrived at the military camp, he followed General Wang.

General Wang didn't know how to talk to children, so he could only talk to Shang Huai about his eldest daughter, who was only a few years old.

Shang Huai still remembers the kind fatherly expression on General Wang's face at that time.

"Young General, this is a family matter in a certain place. Besides, I am her father. If I want to sell her, then I will sell her."

“A woman can’t carry on my family line, so I might as well sell her. It will save the family some food and I can earn some money to have some fun.”

Shang Huai shook his head in disappointment, "General Wang, you are no longer the General Wang you used to be."

"Young General, I was injured because of you and can no longer go to the battlefield. The General has given me the compensation I deserve. We are even now. You may leave."

Shang Huai sneered, "If I leave, do you expect me to continue selling women?"

If Shang Huai hadn't encountered this situation today, he would have let it go.

Now that he's encountered it, he can't just ignore it.

Shang Huai took off the token he was carrying. "Madam Wang, take your daughter and the token to the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence. Someone will take care of you."

Without a second thought, Madam Wang accepted the token and pulled her daughter to kowtow to Shang Huai.

"Thank you, young general."

"You can settle down in my residence first. Later, I will arrange for someone to help you find your eldest daughter, and then we can discuss whether you and General Wang should divorce."

Without a second thought, Madam Wang declared, "Divorce! I absolutely must get a divorce."

Madam Wang said with hatred, "When he sold my daughter, if it weren't for the fact that I had a younger child, I would have stabbed him to death long ago."

If she hadn't been worried that after stabbing her husband to death, her youngest daughter would have been left without anyone to care for her, she would have done it long ago.

Now that they can get a divorce, it's something Lady Wang couldn't have asked for.

General Wang was about to take action when he saw this, but Shang Huai stopped him with one hand.

"Madam Wang, you may go first."

Madam Wang dared not look at General Wang and quickly left the private room with her youngest daughter.

After Madam Wang left with the child, Shang Huai punched General Wang in the face.

"Selling your daughter?"

"Do you still remember that you were once a member of the Zhenbei Army?"

"If I had known you would turn out this way, I would have preferred to die on the battlefield; that would have been more honorable."

General Wang was no match for Shang Huai and was knocked to the ground with a single punch.

Shang Huai, however, had no intention of letting him off so easily, and kicked him several more times.

"What's the difference between a person who can disregard even family ties and a beast?"

General Wang was beaten so badly that he cried out in pain and begged for mercy, but Shang Huai pretended not to hear him.

While Shang Huai was dealing with the villains, Pei Zhi was persuaded by several male prostitutes to drink several cups of wine.

The second prince was led outside by someone arranged by the third prince; the second prince was already quite drunk.

Hearing music coming from the private room, I pushed open the door without thinking.

Upon entering, the Second Prince saw a room full of scantily clad men and showed a look of disgust.

"A room full of thieves and prostitutes, how disgusting."

Just as the second prince was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the woman sitting inside the room, and he was completely unable to move.

The second prince eagerly walked towards Pei Zhi, but several male prostitutes, seeing that the newcomer had ill intentions, tried to stop him.

The second prince kicked away the male prostitute standing in front of him, saying, "Do you know who I am? Are you all out of your minds, daring to stop me?"

The male prostitute, hearing the drunkard claim to be a prince, dared not approach.

"You may all leave now."

The male prostitute didn't know, but Pei Zhi did; the person in front of her was indeed a prince.

The Second Prince did not know Pei Zhi, but Pei Zhi had met the Second Prince once.

"Should I call someone over?"

Pei Zhi shook her head, "His status is so high that calling for help is useless. You should all leave."

What Pei Zhi didn't say was that she could deal with the Second Prince with just one hand.

Without further hesitation, the male prostitute and the musicians withdrew.

Seeing Pei Zhi's understanding nature, the Second Prince said, "Since you are so considerate, rest assured, if you submit to me, I will definitely treat you well."

"idiot."

Pei Zhi noticed that the Second Prince had dark circles under his eyes and looked weak and listless.
