Just then.
Lin Muya, holding the child, ran in from the doorway, crying.
"Mother, Mother, Brother, Brother, save me."
The old lady and the others were having lunch in the front hall when they heard Lin Muya's voice and got up.
She walked out of the front hall, leaning on her cane, her steps unsteady.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, slumped on the ground holding her child, I felt heartbroken.
"Muya, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Muya cried, "Mother, save me! My husband is a... devil."
"Waaah, Mother, I want a divorce." Her voice trembled.
The old lady was greatly surprised.
"Muya, are you confused? Why do you want a divorce when everything is fine?"
Lin Muya sobbed and cried, "Mother, my husband hit me, scolded me, and even hit the children."
As she spoke, she pulled open her own sleeves and then her child's clothes, revealing her calves.
When the old lady saw that their bodies were covered in bruises and even some blood that hadn't dried, she immediately burst into tears, her hands trembling as she said:
"How...how could this be?"
"That beast, how dare he lay a hand on you? I'm going to fight him right now!"
As she spoke, the old lady leaned on her cane and was about to step out the door.
Just then, Qian Tonghai came running in from outside, panting.
When he saw that Lin Muya had really come home, he angrily cursed.
"You slut!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes turned bloodshot. "Qian Tonghai, what are you saying? My daughter, whom I raised with such care, is being insulted by you?"
Qian Tonghai swept his gaze across the dilapidated Marquis's mansion, gritting his teeth as he said:
"She is my wife, I can scold her however I want, isn't the old lady being a bit too nosy?"
The old lady's cane jolted.
"I'm her mother. How dare you insult my daughter?"
Qian Tonghai laughed heartily, as if he had heard a hilarious joke.
"Your daughter?"
"Madam, how did you used to scold Madam Ye? You said her married daughter was like water spilled from a bowl, and that as her husband, the Marquis of Zhenbei had every right to beat and scold her."
"Now, I'm just learning from you, so what right do you have to criticize me?"
The old lady was immediately stunned.
Back when Ye Lanyin married her son, she said these things to Lin Muya quite often.
Mu Ya actually turned around and went to tell her husband?
madness!
She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Dehong is different from you. It was Ye Lanyin who was unfaithful and seduced men outside, and got pregnant with an illegitimate child."
At this moment, the Marquis of Zhenbei also came over.
He pulled Qian Haitong aside and said in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law, what Mother said is true. You did see what Ye Lanyin did back then."
"But she had too many people and was no match for me, but I really didn't know that the child wasn't mine."
"Although I kept a mistress, it was Ye Lanyin who interfered in our relationship."
“Look, Shixuan is a year older than Rui’an.”
"If she hadn't threatened me back then, I wouldn't have married her."
The Marquis of Zhenbei spoke with such conviction that he seemed to want to perform it directly for Qian Tonghai.
Qian Tonghai shook off Zhenbei Hou's hand, not even bothering to give him any face.
“No matter what you say, she is now my wife. A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; I am her husband, and it is only right for me to beat or scold her.”
"Muya, come back with me right away."
Lin Muya shook her head, crying, "No, I won't go back, I want a divorce!"
Enraged, Qian Tonghai slapped Lin Muya across the face.
With a "snap".
The old lady was so frightened that her heart pounded.
"Qian Tonghai, you beast, you inhuman beast, how dare you hit my daughter?"
"The child I carried for ten months and gave birth to is not for you to abort!"
The old lady started crying and making a scene, and then grabbed Qian Tonghai and started hitting him wildly.
Qian Tonghai angrily flung the old lady away.
The old lady was caught off guard by his push and fell to the ground.
"Mother—" Lin Muya cried out.
Unfortunately, she woke up the baby in her arms.
"Waaah~" the child cried loudly.
The old lady was in so much pain that she couldn't get up, but luckily Zou Shuang'er arrived and helped her up.
"you…"
"You dare push me?"
Qian Tonghai snorted coldly, "You pushed me first, I was just retaliating."
"Like father, like son; your whole family is truly rotten!"
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei was enraged by all the anger he had accumulated over the past few days.
He couldn't deal with those powerful ministers.
However, Qian Haitong was just a minor official; there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.
"Qian Haitong, watch your mouth!"
“Marquis of Zhenbei, I used to call you elder brother only because of Mu Ya, but now that she doesn’t give me any face, I have no reason to respect you either!”
"Look at your good daughter, your good sister."
"Lin Muya secretly kept a male lover behind my back and even got pregnant with an illegitimate child. I can't quell my hatred without killing her!"
As soon as Qian Tonghai finished speaking...
The old lady felt as if her mind had been blown apart, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"What...what did you say?"
Qian Tonghai's gaze was cold as he sneered, "Your good daughter keeps a lover and fathers an illegitimate child!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was taken aback and was speechless for a moment.
The concubines around him were also dumbfounded.
As luck would have it, the passersby heard these words clearly.
Since the Marquis of Zhenbei was divorced, many people felt sorry for Ye Lanyin, and many storytellers made a lot of money by telling the story of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Therefore, they nowadays occasionally stroll around the entrance of the Marquis's residence to see if there's anything new happening.
