Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Hearing Cheng's mother's voice, Cheng Shuo was extremely anxious, but for self-protection, he dared not say a word.

When Cheng's mother walked into the front hall and saw the mess and blood on the floor, her cursing stopped abruptly and she let out a sharp cry, "My son! What have you done to my son, you vicious woman?"

It is said that a mother is strong. Cheng's mother was obviously afraid but she did not back down. She wanted to seek justice for her son, but Cheng Shuo, this shameless man, could ignore his biological mother. He is so heartless.

An Yan flipped the table in disgust, and the trembling Cheng Shuo was immediately exposed. Cheng's mother went to help him up in surprise, but Cheng Shuo frowned, "Aren't you walking into a trap by coming here? Why don't you report it to the police? No, the police can't beat them even if you report it."

A man who knows the current situation is a hero, and Cheng Shuo is one of them. He knelt down smoothly and said, "Mother Yan, please let me go. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will agree to anything you ask for."

An Yan stood with his hands behind his back, "It's only natural to pay back a debt. Eight thousand taels, oh no, ten thousand taels."

"Sure, sure. When I become an official, I will definitely give you my salary and the emperor's reward." Cheng Shuo nodded repeatedly and took out all the money he had on him.

An Yan waved her sleeves, and all the money disappeared on the spot. Cheng Shuo's words were just empty promises, and any amount he could get back was good. "I still have to charge some interest."

Cheng Shuo's smile froze again, and he said tremblingly, "What do you mean?"

An Yan snorted coldly, "Tell me, what was your original plan with that demon hunter today? How did you get in touch with him? If you don't tell me the truth, I will never forgive you."

Cheng Shuo looked embarrassed. He asked his mother to leave first and secretly observed her expression. "It was Zhu Yaoshi who came to me and said that you are a monster and that you have other intentions by staying with me and will kill me. He persuaded me to join forces with him to kill you."

He immediately expressed his loyalty, "But I sternly refused. We have been in love for many years. What's wrong with being a demon? I remember how kind you were to me. I wanted to bring you to the capital, where the security is good and Zhu Yaoshi will definitely not be able to do anything wrong. If you treat him like this today, he might go back to get help, and you will be in danger when you come back. Otherwise, you should just come with me to the capital!"

"But you also know that I will enter the officialdom, and your status does not allow me to be his wife. The emperor values ​​me, so I can only put you in a difficult position for now. Don't worry, I have met the princess, she is a dignified and kind woman, she will definitely tolerate you."

In An Yan's sharp, mocking eyes that seemed to see through everything, Cheng Shuo's voice gradually died down, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

An Yan said quietly, "I heard that the Queen Mother has been ill for a long time and needs a demon heart as medicine."

Cheng Shuo took a deep breath, cold sweat streaming down his face. His eyes darted wildly as he frantically tried to think of something to say, but his damn stupid brain was completely blank. He couldn't think of anything. He could only weakly say, "I... don't know."

At this time, Cheng's mother pulled Aunt Chai and Scholar Chai from the neighboring house to come and rescue her eldest son. Cheng Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. With outsiders around, Yan Niang would always give him this face and stop asking questions.

"Shuo'er, mother has called someone for you. Did this vicious woman hurt you?"

Aunt Chai and Scholar Chai looked embarrassed. They didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. Everyone knew that Aunt Cheng wanted to divorce her daughter-in-law and marry someone else, which they disapproved of. Aunt Chai also persuaded Anyan to think more about herself.

However, Mr. Chai was about to take the imperial examination in the next term, and Aunt Cheng threatened them with Cheng Shuo's power, so they had no choice but to come here, thinking that they could help Yan Niang if there was anything.

The big yellow dog had already happily run to An Yan, rubbing its head against her skirt and barking "woof woof woof".

Cheng Shuo also recognized the dog and stared at it fiercely, as if wondering if he could get the magic herb back by eating it.

"Wangcai, come here quickly! Don't be rude to others."

An Yan shook her head gently and touched Wangcai's fluffy head. She could see clearly that both Wangcai and Chai Xiucai possessed the spiritual power of the magic grass. Chai Xiucai had clear eyes and was an upright person. He was a good choice.

But his compassionate eyes seemed familiar. An Yan suddenly realized and asked him, "Ten years ago, did you see a wounded white fox at the Cheng family?"

Chai Xiucai was slightly stunned, thinking for a moment, and then suddenly woke up, his face flushed. "I thought it was a little white dog. Seeing that it was injured, Cheng Shuo just wanted to kill it and eat its meat, saying that it should be left alone. I couldn't bear it, so I secretly applied medicine to it. He found out and chased it away. Later, I heard that it ran away, and I was relieved."

"So that's how it is. Mr. Chai is kind-hearted and will surely be rewarded in the future." The original owner was such a fool that she even chose the wrong person to repay her gratitude. If she had recognized Mr. Chai back then, perhaps she could have really achieved the story she dreamed of. What a pity.

Mr. Chai touched the back of his head shyly and said, "It's just a small favor. I just like furry things." Wangcai wagged his tail happily.

Cheng Shuo seemed to have remembered something, his face turning pale. He had finally figured it out. Yan Niang thought he was coming to repay her for saving her life. She was the fox from back then! He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Scholar Chai, not forgetting his business, bowed to Cheng Shuo and said, "Scholar Cheng, please forgive me for being nosy, but I will speak my mind for once. For many years, Yan Niang has devoted herself to taking care of the household and your widowed mother, and she has worked so hard for you. As the saying goes, a wife who has shared her hardships should not be divorced. If you abandon your first wife just because you pass the imperial examination, it would be ungentlemanly."

How could Cheng Shuo dare to refute now? His life was almost gone, so he could only nod repeatedly.

Seeing this, Cheng's mother was displeased. She had clearly hired a helper, so why was she helping Yan Niang? Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Cheng Shuo, and had no choice but to shut up.

An Yan bowed to them and said, "Thank you, Madam Chai and Mr. Chai, for speaking up for me. I have already severed ties with Cheng Shuo. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other in marriage. There is no need for you to mediate between us."

Cheng's mother was very pleased with her sensibleness. Cheng Shuo had the will but not the courage, so he could only keep his head down and act like a turtle.

Aunt Chai held her hand with a distressed look on her face. "Life is so difficult for women in this world. What are your plans for the future? If you don't mind my humble home, it would be nice to have you stay here temporarily."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. I paid for this house, so it should belong to me. So you are the ones who should leave."

When An Yan said this, Cheng's mother widened her eyes and was about to explode, but was pulled away by Cheng Shuo. When he reached the door, he looked at An Yan meaningfully and left without looking back.

Aunt Chai was worried. "Cheng Shuo is powerful now. A weak woman like you might not be able to resist him. It's better to pack up your belongings and leave as soon as possible. Don't confront him head-on."

Cheng Shuo has never been a good person, and An Yan naturally knows this, so she advises them to move out as soon as possible, otherwise they might be retaliated against.

Mr. Chai usually made money by copying books, and Aunt Chai was also a hardworking person. After a little thought, she agreed. It was just the right place for him to find a quiet place so that he could study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
