Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Madam He hadn't expected that after just one night of intimacy, her husband's attitude towards her would change so drastically. What Madam He didn't expect even more was that this time, Liu Haiye was determined to punish the Liu family.

Liu Haiye dotes on He Shi and likes her, but that doesn't mean she's the only one in his heart and there's no one else!

When Mu Xin Nuan heard the news, she was helping Li Shi register and compile the records.

"Mother, do you think the old lady will meet with Uncle today?"

Madam Li sighed softly, "We've done everything we can. If we go any further, I'm afraid that Mr. Liu will no longer care about your aunt. Alright, go and call Tingting, and have her bring Zhuangzhuang to Rongyuan together."

"Yes, mother."

Li accompanied Mu Changchun first. Sure enough, upon entering, they saw Liu Haiye kneeling upright in the room, while the old lady had a livid face. Li looked around and noticed that the concubine was nowhere to be seen today; it seemed she was truly afraid.

“You were personally chosen by the old master and my son. They said you were a good person, honest and upright. Although your family background was slightly inferior, you came from a scholarly family, and you were sure to be well-versed in the rules and etiquette of this household. But look at you now! What has become of my good daughter after I sent her to your Liu family?”

“What you say is true, Madam. It is all my fault. I will never do it again. In the past, I was always busy with official duties and felt that marrying Changchun was a disservice to her. That’s why I was so focused on doing more work in the government office so that my superiors would be pleased and I could get a promotion. Only in this way could I live up to the kindness of Changchun and my father-in-law. Mother-in-law, now that I know I was wrong, you may punish me as you see fit.”

That's a pretty smooth delivery of the lyrics.

The old lady was naturally aware of how much truth and how much falsehood was in those words. As the head of the household, how could he truly not know that his wife and children were so poor? Putting aside everything else, how could he not know that the household affairs were managed by a concubine?

However, the old lady was always shrewd, and knowing that there was no intention to divorce, she couldn't let the relationship between the two families become too strained.

"To be honest, I wasn't happy when Changchun wanted to marry into your Yunzhou City. I only have one daughter, so naturally I dote on her! But my husband and Chang'an took a liking to you and kept praising you to me, so I agreed. My poor daughter, she's only been married for a few years, and how many times has she ever come back to her parents' home? Now, looking at her sickly body, this old woman doesn't even want to live anymore!"

The old lady was a talented singer and actress, and for a moment, Liu Haiye was at a loss for words, only to blush with embarrassment!

At this moment, Madam Li gave Mu Changchun a wink. Mu Changchun wiped away her tears and then said sadly, "Mother, don't cry. It's all my fault. I'm unfilial for not being able to serve you. As for my husband, he was indeed busy with official duties. He and you, like my mother-in-law, were both bewitched by that Madam He."

Hearing that Mu Changchun was willing to speak up for him, Liu Haiye was naturally happy and quickly replied, "That's right! Mother-in-law, it was all because of that He woman stirring up trouble in the mansion. Last night, after I returned to the inn, I found out the whole story. If it weren't for this He woman causing trouble, my mother and I would never have misunderstood Changchun."

The old lady naturally understood that Liu Haiye was trying to use this opportunity to shift all the blame onto He Shi. She snorted coldly, "Just a lowly maidservant, to be favored by her master and made a concubine is already an immense favor. And yet she dares to bully her master! She's utterly clueless!"

The old lady's words were ostensibly saying that He Shi was ignorant, but in reality, she was cursing Liu Haiye to his face!

There isn't a single sensible person in your Liu family! How can you let a concubine manage the household affairs? Isn't that just making us a laughingstock?

Upon hearing this, Liu Haiye was indeed embarrassed and dared not argue any further! If he were to elaborate, wouldn't it be that he and his mother were confused? If it weren't for his mother's approval, how could a concubine be in charge of the affairs of the household?

The old lady felt she had said enough, so she didn't want to embarrass him any further. After all, he was her son-in-law, and if she went too far, it would be her daughter who would suffer in the future!

"Alright, get up now. It's good that you know you're wrong. If you do it again, I won't forgive you."

“Mother-in-law is right! I will certainly not dare to do such a foolish thing again. From now on, the affairs of this household will definitely be handled by Madam. Madam is the rightful mistress of the household. Mother-in-law, please rest assured.”

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Mu Changchun, and pinched her, bringing Mu Changchun back to her senses.

"My lord, please sit down. It's all my fault. Even if I was wronged, I shouldn't have gone back to my parents' home without telling you. But it's just that Madam He is too bullying! If she hadn't taken Tingting's pair of silver bracelets, I wouldn't be so angry."

As Mu Changchun spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. "If He Shi just wanted to give it to Furong, she should have just said so. Why did she have to resort to violence right away? Tingting's wrists are all bruised, and there are still marks on them."

Liu Haiye was genuinely startled this time. He always knew that Madam He was unreasonable and arrogant. But he never imagined she could be so bold! Thinking back to what he had heard at the inn that morning, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling.

The three people outside the door, including Mu Xin Nuan, had been listening for quite a while.

The old woman outside was relieved to hear that her son-in-law had sat down. She had stopped the children because she wanted to save face for him in front of the younger generation. Otherwise, how could he face these children again in the future?

Mu Xin Nuan led the two into the house, first paying her respects to the old lady, and then Liu Tingting and Liu Zhuangzhuang bowed to Liu Haiye.

The fear in the eyes of the two children made Liu Haiye's heart clench again. After all, they were his own flesh and blood, how could he not love them?

"Tingting, come to your father and let him see your hands."

Mu Xin Nuan lowered her eyes and remained silent. Was she worried that he would be deceived by his wife again? From his eyes just now, she could see some heartache, but it was quite different from the attitude her father had towards her!

Mu Xin Nuan knew that Liu Haiye was able to truly harden his heart and treat He Shi this time largely because of the play she had arranged to be performed at the inn! However, if her aunt were to return to the manor with them in the future, she couldn't predict how long she could maintain this attitude!

Mu Xin Nuan sighed softly in her heart. How fortunate her mother was to be treated by a man like her father? And this aunt?

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head inwardly. If she didn't know how to control her personality, she was afraid that her life would still not be easy in the future.
