My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Fu stood up in fear and glared at Cai Lian fiercely: "What are you still standing there for? Help your master up!"

Shao Xun stepped in: "What's going on?"

Lin Yulan turned her head to look at him, a bright red spot on her fair face.

Shao Xun's face changed, and he stepped forward to help Lin Yulan up. He took the handkerchief from her hand and pressed it on her forehead, saying in a cold tone, "Who did it?"

Lin Yulan didn't say anything, but subconsciously turned her head to glance at Fu.

Shao Xun looked at Fu and sneered: "Second Aunt? You beat my wife so hard that she was bleeding?"

"I--"

Fu suddenly came back to his senses, his face cold and silent.

Can she say it wasn't her, it was the old lady? Although it was true, such words couldn't come out of her mouth as a daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the elders? The old lady was not very kind-hearted, she would definitely be unhappy.

Shao Zhixin couldn't bear to see her mother being wronged, "Brother, what does this have to do with my mother? It was clearly my sister-in-law who disobeyed my grandmother, and my grandmother was careless and that's why—"

"Ma'am, so it's you?"

Old Madam Shao paused. In all honesty, it was true that she was very angry about Lin's rebuttal, but when she threw the teacup, she clearly remembered that it was not aimed at Lin Yulan's head. How could she have known that it would hit her? She was just too angry and wanted to scare her.

No matter what, she is still the ancestor of the Marquisate. How could she personally do such a thing that would cause people to talk about her?

When a grandmother is vicious and personally beats her granddaughter-in-law, who has just come into the family for a few days, until her head is broken and bleeding, will this be heard well? Will she still have the dignity she deserves for the rest of her life?

Shao Xun kicked over a chair in anger, "Madam, my wife has been married for less than half a month, and you hit her head with your own hands. You want to kill her and give me the name of a wife-killer, right? Don't you think it's enough that I'm a jinx to my father and mother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Madam Shao naturally refused to admit that it was she and the people from the second house who said this, "Shao Xun, you are yelling so loudly, how disgraceful!"

"You're talking to me about propriety? Well, I also want everyone to judge what my wife did that angered the heavens and the people, causing the old lady to smash her head with her own hands."

Madam Shao was so angry that her eyes went dark. "This, this was an accident. Why would I hit her for no reason? If she hadn't been disobedient, I wouldn't have lost my temper!"

"Anyway, I want an explanation for this matter. If you can't satisfy me and my wife, this matter will not end!"

Shao Xun stared at Fu coldly, then helped Lin Yulan away.

After returning to Chunhui Garden, Xiaoqu saw Lin Yulan was so frightened that she hurriedly asked the maid to fetch some warm water and asked someone to call a doctor.

Shao Xun stopped and asked her to go to Shao Ke to get hemostatic medicine and scar removing cream.

Feng He brought some warm water, Shao Xunping sent the servants away, wet the handkerchief, wrung it dry, and gently wiped her.

The warm handkerchief fell gently, and Lin Yulan stiffened slightly and gasped softly.

"Does it hurt?"

Shao Xun stopped.

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "You're bleeding, how can it not hurt? Just bear with it, it will stop hurting after a while."

Lin Yulan nodded slightly: "Well, be gentle."

"know."

He carefully and gently wiped the wound and the blood on her forehead and face bit by bit.

After a while, Shao Xun withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, fortunately the wound is not big and it is just a superficial injury. Although it looks a little red and swollen and scary, it will heal in two days after applying the medicine and it won't leave a scar."

Lin Yulan nodded: "Thank you, Lord."

Xiao Qu quickly took the medicine, panting. Seeing that Shao Xun was about to apply the medicine to her personally, Lin Yulan was embarrassed to bother him, and hurriedly said, "Let Xiao Qu do this kind of thing. I dare not trouble the Marquis."

"Xiao Qu, step back and get out!" Shao Xun picked up a little white ointment with his index finger, spread it on his fingertips, and applied it on her. "Why are you being so polite? You know I asked someone to come find me, and now you're being polite?"

Lin Yulan choked.

After applying the medicine, Shao Xun sat down on the chair next to her and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Lin Yulan was about to speak when Shao Xun said, "Madam, it's best that you tell the truth in front of me."

Lin Yulan's heart skipped a beat. No matter what, their relationship was closer than that of the second branch's family. The Marquis would never favor the second branch between her and them.

She had an idea in her mind, so she simply recounted what happened in the Duke Rong's Mansion today, and how as soon as she came back the old lady called her over to teach her a lesson, without allowing her to explain herself, and even punished her by making her kneel in the yard.

"Of course I don't want to. I am the Marquis' wife after all. I just got married. If I kneel down in the yard and get punished, everyone will see it clearly. How can I face people in the future? So I deliberately angered the old lady. When the teacup was thrown at me, I deliberately moved forward..."

She was injured and bleeding, and no matter how unreasonable Madam Shao was, she could not force her to kneel in the yard.

Shao Xun stared at her intently. As he had guessed, she did it on purpose. No matter how much the old woman hated them, she would not dare to do such a cruel thing openly.

His wife is really brave...

Lin Yulan added: "If I had known that the Marquis would be here soon, I would not have taken such a risk. Fortunately, there was no danger."

"You call this safe?" Shao Xun glanced at her wound and didn't know what to say.

There is probably no other woman in the capital who would do this.

Shao Xun: "In the future, if - well, at least don't use this method if you can. I will be more careful in the future. What price do you want them to pay this time?"

Lin Yulan was stunned.

"You can't take this for nothing. You must get compensation. What else? Think about it carefully. I'll go find them."

Looking at her red, swollen and broken forehead, Shao Xun couldn't help but get angry again. They really didn't let go of any opportunity and tried every way to find fault and cause trouble.

If Lin Yulan made a scene with them today, it would be considered as disobedience and unfilial; if she was forced by them to accept the punishment, it would be proven that she did not know the rules, did not know her limits, and was not worthy of being the Marquis' wife.

All in all, they are always right.

She chose to take this blow, and that was how the situation was resolved.

But as a girl, she was forced to do this, wouldn't she be afraid and feel pain? Shao Xun rarely felt guilty towards others in recent years, but at this moment he felt very sorry.

He saw that she was in great need of money, so he tore a piece of meat from them and compensated her with a portion of his own.

Lin Yulan was very excited. Yes, she couldn’t take this blow in vain.

She thought seriously for a while, then looked at Shao Xun and said, "From now on, we will make the decisions about the affairs of our eldest house ourselves, and Second Aunt will not interfere. Is that okay?"

For example, the Fu family secretly invited Lin Yuwei to a banquet without telling her. This kind of thing must never happen again.

Shao Xun nodded and smiled: "Of course."
