Sheng Huaizhong felt the blood on his face and wanted to walk away, but when he thought of the pitiful Liu Yuan'er, he said shamelessly, "Is it because I haven't come to see you for a long time and you are jealous? I will serve you well tonight, okay?"
Li Yuxin was so angry at Sheng Huaizhong that she laughed. How could such a shameless person exist in the world? She raised her hand to hit Sheng Huaizhong in the face. Sheng Huaizhong quickly dodged, saying, "Madam, if you don't want to, just say so. I'm short of money lately. As the mistress of the house, please give me some money."
Li Yuxin understood. This man, instigated by Concubine Liu to take her dowry, was having a nagging thought. Li Yuxin picked up a fan that was lying nearby and started hitting Sheng Huaizhong. The blows were not strong, but they still hurt. Sheng Huaizhong snatched the fan and threw it to the ground. He walked towards Li Yuxin and said sternly, "If you don't pay me today, I will give you the jade ruyi in the flower hall."
Li Yuxin reached out and slapped him. Sheng Huaizhong blushed slightly and raised his hand to hit her. At this time, Madam Liu rushed in and shouted, "Madam, are you okay?"
Mother Liu asked as she looked Li Yuxin up and down. She put down her hands awkwardly, stood there with her hands behind her back and said, "Mrs. Li, do you want to be divorced and go home?"
Mother Liu was horrified. She turned to look at Sheng Huaizhong and said, "Master, what are you talking about? How can you say such words! Since my daughter married into the Sheng family, she has served the elders, taught the children, respected her husband and treated relatives with respect, and even observed three years of mourning for the old lady. Even if the daughter has committed a serious fault, you cannot easily say the word 'divorce'. I hope you will be careful with your words."
Li Yuxin sneered inwardly. How could Sheng Huaizhong dare to divorce her, such a useless loser? Divorcing her would be a problem, not to mention the Li family's disapproval. Even the old man wouldn't agree, not to mention Li Yuxin's eldest brother from her family's family was quite successful. Sheng Huaizhong was just trying to scare her. If he really divorced her, she would be happy. She didn't fear death after being divorced like she had in her previous life. She could live her own life with her three children. With her dowry, she wouldn't have to worry about getting by. If she stayed here, who knew when she would lose her life.
Sheng Huaizhong looked at Mama Liu coldly for a moment. Mama Liu protected Li Yuxin behind her. Sheng Huaizhong moved his lips but didn't say anything else. Then he walked away with a cold face.
Li Yuxin knew she shouldn't have taken action now, and should have waited until after Hong'er's birthday. But Sheng Huaizhong was being too much, and Li Yuxin lost her composure for a moment.
Mother Liu tried to comfort Li Yuxin, but Li Yuxin shook her head and said, "Mother Liu, I'm fine. Those bad guys are just tired of the old and love the new."
Mother Liu said with tears in her eyes, "My dear girl, what should we do? Master would never say such a thing. Would you like me to send a message to the Li family?"
Li Yuxin smiled and said, "It was just an angry remark, but you actually took it seriously. It's nothing, there's no need to worry father, mother, and brother."
Mother Liu nodded doubtfully and stepped back.
At night, Hong'er, Yun'er, and Li Yuxin slept together. Hong'er asked carefully, "Mom, did Dad make Mom angry?"
Li Yuxin touched Hong'er's brows. The little girl frowned, looking very cute. Li Yuxin smiled and said, "No, Hong'er, don't be afraid. Daddy is in a bad mood. Let's ignore him."
Hong'er breathed a sigh of relief like a grown-up, and then said, "Brother is very sad. My sister and I are here to comfort him."
Li Yuxin patted Hong'er's body approvingly, looked at Yun'er who had fallen asleep, and said softly to Hong'er: "Hong'er is the most well-behaved. I am very happy to have you around."
Hong'er covered her mouth and smiled foolishly, then Li Yuxin patted her body gently and she slowly fell asleep.
