Wiping away her tears, Li Chunlan gritted her teeth and said as if she had made up her mind: "That Pan-ge'er really deserves to be beaten. As long as he makes Third Sister-in-law happy, beat him to death as long as he's not killed!"
Pan Ge'er, who was sleeping soundly in his bed, suddenly shivered. He sat up abruptly, immediately threw off the covers, and checked the bed.
Thank goodness, the bedding was dry. He thought he had wet the bed again!
He lay back down and fell asleep peacefully again, unaware that his own parents were already discussing how to sell their son to please Xu Wanying.
"Is your third sister-in-law happy?" Li Chunlan asked quickly.
She was told by the servants that Pan Ge'er was about to be beaten to death by the young master, so she rushed over in a hurry. When she got there, she was busy crying and fighting with Jiang Chengzhong. She was completely dizzy and didn't understand her sister-in-law's emotions at the time.
"Of course I'm happy, otherwise how would I have known that Father likes Mother's half-sister!" Jiang Chengzong squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, clearly extremely annoyed.
"That's right, only if the third sister-in-law is happy can the system say anything like 'gossip'."
After his reminder, Li Chunlan realized what he meant, but she quickly retorted, "That's not right! You hit Pan Ge'er to get the system to say who's trying to harm you, why are you bringing up your father-in-law's affairs!"
"Because my third sister-in-law doesn't want to know about me. Whether I live or die is none of her business. She'd rather watch the show."
Li Chunlan couldn't help but curl her lips: "What's so interesting about that old lecher's filthy affairs?"
Jiang Chengzong said disapprovingly, "I saw you were quite happy listening to it, weren't you? You even burst out laughing when the system mentioned the doggerel your mother wrote for your father. You were the one laughing the most in the whole room, and you almost gave yourself away."
Upon hearing his words, Li Chunlan recalled her previous embarrassing incident and immediately covered her face with her hands, her ears turning bright red with shame.
"So what are you going to do about this? How about we drag Pan Ge'er to Third Sister-in-law's place tomorrow and give him a good beating?"
Li Chunlan was worried, then turned around and changed her mind: "No, Pan Ge'er has been beaten into a pig's head, we have to wait for him to recover, otherwise if he gets hurt, who will I rely on for the rest of my life? If you're gone, I'll still have to rely on my son!"
Jiang Chengzong was speechless. Could this last sentence be considered her true feelings in a moment of desperation?
"Don't overthink it. Pan Ge'er will become a eunuch in a few years; he's unreliable. You should rely on yourself!"
His voice was gentle and his tone was very soothing. At first glance, it sounded like he was comforting someone, but it was clearly sarcastic and infuriating, which made Li Chunlan raise her hand to hit him again.
After a night of passion, the couple quickly reconciled.
