Shen Que was hit with a series of blows. When he saw the two prominent teeth lying in his palm and felt the soreness of his front teeth leaking air, the veins on his forehead bulged.

Fueled by anger, he slammed Yan Zhen, who was beating him mercilessly, aside with red eyes, grabbed a toy car from the side, and smashed it down on the back of Yan Zhen's head.

Yan Zhen dodged to the side, and the car flew out, crashing into the wall with a loud crash. The wedding photo on the wall fell down and shattered into pieces.

Amidst Shen Que's curses, Huang Guilan's screams, and the tremendous noise of furniture being smashed, the two engaged in a tremendous fight.

The fight was more intense than ever before. Someone knocked on the door, but the faint sound was drowned out by the noise of smashing and looting. When the fight finally stopped, the whole house looked like it had been hit by a typhoon.

A deep dent was smashed into the living room wall, glass shards and missing pieces of tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, torn down cushions were strewn about, and there was almost no place to step on the floor.

Amidst the chaos, another knock came at the door.

Huang Guilan, who was huddled in the corner, quickly got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, two local police officers stood outside, followed by five or six neighbors who had come to watch the commotion, all craning their necks to look into the house.

"We are police officers from Lianhua District Police Station. We received a call reporting a fight at your home." The officer glanced at Huang Guilan's swollen cheek. "Is that true?"

Huang Guilan burst into tears and tearfully accused, "Yes, that tigress almost beat my son to death! Arrest her immediately!"

She stepped aside to make way, and the policeman immediately went inside.

Stepping over the messy floor, the policeman looked at the two people sitting and standing in the chaotic living room.

The man's mouth was full of blood, his lips and nose were swollen and deformed, his shirt was almost torn in half, and there were several bleeding wounds on his shoulders and back.

The woman leaned against the locker, her hair disheveled, with bruises on her neck from being pinched.

Her expression was unreadable as she slowly rotated her wrist and snapped it back into place.

The older police officers were experienced and could tell from the wedding photos on the ground that the couple was having a fight.

To his surprise, the man seemed to be the one at a disadvantage.

This is rare.

The police began their routine procedures, asking both parties if they needed medical attention or assistance.

Yan Zhen spoke first: "Officer, there's no need to trouble yourself. Every couple argues. They say that couples fight in bed and make up before they get out of bed. We can handle this little thing ourselves and not waste police resources."

As soon as she said this, Shen Lie glanced at her, seemingly surprised that she would take the initiative to smooth things over.

Before Shen Que could even speak, Huang Guilan burst into tears, wailing, "No way! This bitch beat my son like this, we can't let this go! She even hit me! Officers, look at this!"

Huang Guilan showed her face, which was covered in old and new injuries: "She did all of these!!! I'm going to sue her for intentional assault! I want her to go to jail!"

"Mom, are you sure you want to make a big deal out of this?"

Yan Zhen did not deny Huang Guilan's accusations. She said seriously, "We can resolve family conflicts internally. Taking it to the police station and leaving a criminal record will affect An'an's chances of going abroad and taking the civil service exam. As a grandmother, don't you think about your children and grandchildren at all?"

Huang Guilan was stunned, clearly not expecting it to be so serious. Her face turned pale and then red, and she was very conflicted.

On one hand, she didn't want to let Yan Zhen off so easily, but on the other hand, she was worried that it would affect Shen An's future.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Guilan glanced at the neighbors watching the commotion outside the door and quickly came up with an idea.

She suddenly sat down on the ground, pounding her fists on the floor and wailing at the top of her lungs.

"My dear husband, how could you be so heartless? You left us, a widow and her child, so early. We're already looked down upon, and now even our daughter-in-law is bullying us. She's been cheating on us while our son is away on business, and she even brought her lover home to have sex with him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors who had been watching the spectacle exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow.

Is Huang Guilan trying to ruin her reputation because she can't sue her?

She could already imagine how quickly this sensational sex scandal would spread, causing her to lose face in the neighborhood and suffer social death.

Yan Zhen turned to look at Shen Que and saw that although he frowned, he did not refute her.

Sure enough, this mother and son are birds of a feather, both equally vicious and despicable.

However, if she were to be defeated by such underhanded tricks, she wouldn't be Yan Zhen.

"Mom," Yan Zhen interrupted Huang Guilan, who was still vividly accusing her of cheating, and calmly said, "That's enough. So many neighbors are watching. Don't you know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public? I've already promised that the child will definitely be from your Shen family. What more do you want?"

Huang Guilan was caught off guard by her words and stared in disbelief: "Wh-what?"

"Besides, doesn't Shen Que bear any responsibility for this?" Yan Zhen looked at Shen Que. "He's taken so many medications but his impotence hasn't been cured. I'm not even thirty yet. I can't live a life of widowhood forever, can I?"

Shen Que was suddenly pinned on such a huge accusation, which concerned his male dignity. He was furious and struggled to get up from the ground. Pointing at Yan Zhen, he cursed, "Jiang Yunong, who the hell is impotent? Try spouting nonsense again!"

"Alright." Yan Zhen pressed his hand down and comforted him, "Calm down, let's not argue anymore. You've already ruined your health by taking erectile dysfunction drugs, and you can't even beat me. What if you get sick from anger?"

Shen Que's face turned deathly pale, and the veins on his neck bulged: "You..."

“I know you’re upset. Here’s what we’ll do: as long as you don’t mind me dating other people, I will absolutely not bring up divorce.” Yan Zhen adopted a conciliatory stance. “Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about An’an. The child is still young and can’t be without her parents.”

"Jiang Yunong!!!" Shen Que was so angry that his chest ached terribly, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. He swung his fist at Yan Zhen, "I'll fucking kill him..."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? What are you doing?!" The policeman quickly stopped him and warned, "If you make another move, you'll be going to the station!"

These words successfully intimidated Shen Que, who trembled all over and swallowed his anger.

"Husbands and wives should talk things out. Fighting hurts feelings and wastes money." The policeman, who had been forced to listen to the gossip, began to mediate. "Look at all this broken furniture. How much will it cost to replace it?"

Yan Zhen replied, "It's okay. My husband may be impotent, but he earns a lot of money."

Seeing that Shen Que was about to break down again because of her words, the police officer stopped him while glaring at Yan Zhen: "Don't cause trouble!"

Yan Zhen then shut up.

After being reprimanded and educated by the police, Shen reluctantly agreed to a settlement.

As soon as the police left, Shen Li stared at Yan Zhen with venomous resentment: "You really cheated on me?"
