After being reborn with my scumbag ex-husband, I became his sister-in-law.

……

In the latter half of the night, Song Xizhi lay weakly on He Jingyan's body, feeling somewhat dizzy.

But this man never knew how to stop.

This is the second time, and I've been defeated again and again!

She was clearly a strong and resilient woman; even her master in her past life praised her for her good physical strength, saying she was a promising candidate for medical studies!

But when she faced He Jingyan, a living dead who was manipulated by others, her pride in her physical strength turned into a complete disaster.

Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Song Xizhi was immediately aroused with a competitive spirit.

She gritted her teeth, anger rising in her heart and malice taking hold. She got out of bed and went to the medicine box to find a Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

Song Xizhi tilted his head back and swallowed the pill in one gulp, then climbed back onto the bed using both his hands and feet.

She wanted the heavens to know that she would never admit defeat!

……

The news that Xi Moxuan had called for water four times in one night spread, surprising everyone in the Marquis's mansion.

But what they didn't know was that was only Song Xizhi's limit, not He Jingyan's limit.

With two huge dark circles under her eyes, Song Ruoan was having a meal with He Yunce when she heard the maids outside excitedly discussing the matter.

"Did you know what? Ximoxuan called for water four times last night! And the lights were on all night long!"

"My God! I thought the eldest young mistress would be a widow after marrying into the family, but I never expected her to be so lucky."

"As expected of the young master, his stamina is naturally beyond question, given his prowess in battle."

The maids' conversation reached Song Ruoan's ears clearly.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan slammed down the white porcelain bowl in her hand: "What are you guys at the door talking about?"

"Come in!"

The maids were terrified when they heard this, and could only kneel in front of the two men and tell them everything they knew.

Song Ruoan listened for half of it, but then she thought of herself yesterday and couldn't listen anymore.

How could this be? She couldn't believe such a thing existed!

She turned her head and looked at He Yunce beside her, only to find that He Yunce also had a gloomy expression.

He couldn't believe such a thing could exist in the world!

This must be a rumor spread by the maid!

"Husband, did you hear that? Such a thing happened at Ximoxuan last night! My brother is just a living dead man, how could he possibly call for water four times in one night?"

He Yunze nodded affirmatively. He was already exhausted last night, so how could his older brother, a living dead man, have been up all night?

As he pondered this, he looked at Song Ruoan's haggard face and suddenly remembered his past life.

Ruo'an was the eldest brother's wife in her previous life, but that doesn't necessarily mean such a thing happened in her previous life.

It was clear that Ruo'an had told him in his previous life that his brother was no good!

He Yunce was the only one who was exceptionally brave and heroic, which is why she admired and loved him so much.

Thinking of this, He Yunze's gaze grew even more somber.

Seeing He Yunce's gloomy gaze, Song Ruoan hatched a plan.

She reached out and placed her hand on He Yunze's wrist, her voice soft: "Husband, it's not that I'm talking about people behind their backs, it's just that I'm very worried."

“When my younger sister was in the Song family, she didn’t have a very good reputation. She never wanted to learn the needlework, the rules of women’s conduct, or the housekeeping that those young ladies from well-to-do families liked.”

"She always hid in the courtyard, doing things that couldn't be presented in public, and she was very close to all sorts of people. The servants in the mansion even saw her in brothels..."

"So I was afraid she would lose her innocence. And since I admire you, I kindly agreed to exchange wives with her on our wedding night, so that she would take good care of my elder brother. Who knew she would actually take out her handkerchief."

As Song Ruoan spoke, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she could no longer continue speaking.

He Yunze immediately understood what Song Ruoan wanted to say: "You mean, the elder brother is no good, but Song Xizhi bought potent drugs from a brothel for himself and used a handkerchief to win the favor of his grandmother and the family heirloom bracelet."

"Now that she has tasted the sweetness, she has taken the dose again, only caring about satisfying her own desires and disregarding her brother's safety."

As He Yunze spoke, he slammed his hand on the table again and stood up from his chair.

Sure enough, Song Xizhi was indeed a fickle and lustful woman, just like in her past life, and she couldn't change in this one!

Now, he has been reborn and knows that his elder brother's birthday is approaching. He wants to ensure his brother's last shred of dignity before he dies and not let that shameless woman hasten his brother's death.

This is what he, as the younger brother, should do!

Thinking it over, He Yunze gripped Song Ruoan's hand tightly and said to her, "Ruoan, thankfully you told me the truth. I must tell Grandmother about the evil deeds Song Xizhi committed!"

"I want to divorce her on behalf of my brother!"

Song Ruoan looked up with joy and gave He Yunce a perfect smile: "Husband, I'll go with you."

He Jingyan's actions last night were something no ordinary person could accomplish; Song Xizhi must have used special methods.

As long as the doctor from the Marquis's residence examines him, he will be able to find that his health is not as good as before.

Knowing that Song Xizhi had exploited him, neither his grandmother nor the Marquis of Anding would let Song Xizhi off the hook.

So what if He Yunce is useless?

She wanted Song Xizhi to live a life of widowhood with her!

He Yunze stormed out of Guanyunxuan in a rage and immediately ordered Shuangxi to investigate what Song Xizhi had recently bought.

When Shuangxi reported that Song Xizhi had sent his personal maid, Wu, to the pharmacy, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

He Yunze and Song Ruoan took the pharmacy servant directly to Madam He's Wanxiang Hall.

At that time, Madam He was having breakfast.

With He Jingyan bedridden, the old lady of the He family exempted him from the daily greetings from the Marquis's residence, and each household simply ate in their own rooms.

So when she saw He Yunze and Song Ruoan walking hurriedly, she looked somewhat surprised.

Old Madam He slowly stopped speaking: "Why have you all come?"

He Yunze took a deep breath to calm himself before speaking:

“Grandmother, I have heard some news and am worried about my brother’s health, so I thought I would invite you to come to Ximoxuan together.”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam He panicked instantly: "What happened to your brother? Why didn't anyone tell me?!"

He Yunze pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, unsure how to begin, then simply said to Song Ruoan:

"Perhaps it's nothing serious. It's all my maid's fault for gossiping outside, causing my husband to worry so much. She really deserves a beating!"

Madam He looked at the maid beside Song Ruoan with surprise.

The two maids quickly knelt down: "Madam, Young Madam, please forgive us! It's not that we're gossiping; everyone knows this!"

Madam He paused for a moment, then said, "What is it? Tell me!"

The maidservant, her head bowed, spoke quickly: "Last night, the young master ordered water four times at Ximoxuan, and coincidentally, someone in the Marquis's mansion saw the young mistress go to the pharmacy to buy some potent drugs..."

"That's why we...that's why we suspect that the young mistress drugged the young master!"
