Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan glanced indifferently at Wen's mother, who was rolling around on the ground throwing a tantrum, and Wen Qing, who was wincing in pain but still glaring at her. Her voice was cold:

“Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, I think you should get up quickly. You've already embarrassed your husband, so don't make him look bad any further.”

Wen's mother and Wen Qing have not yet reacted.

Wen Lang suddenly turned around, his sharp gaze shooting at her. But in an instant, it returned to its usual gentle and warm tone.

If Yu Shuyan didn't know what kind of person he was, she would definitely suspect that she was seeing things and had made a mistake.

A faint smile slowly appeared at the corners of her lips:

"My lord, actually, I lied to you."

Wen Lang keenly sensed that Yu Shuyan seemed different from before. Although, she had always smiled faintly at him before.

But he always felt that her smile was strange. He just couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just kept looking at her, his brow furrowed.

Yu Shuyan accepted his scrutiny calmly. She knew in her heart that he wouldn't do anything to her for the time being. After all, abandoning his wife who had shared his hardships right after passing the imperial examination was not something Wen Lang would do.

That's why he was so ruthless in his past life, setting up a scheme to catch his wife cheating and then killing her to cover it up.

Besides, he hasn't gotten involved with Changning yet. Without another prospect, he won't touch her, his wife who can provide him with money, for the time being.

So, under his scrutiny, she continued to smile faintly and speak:

“Before, I kept telling you that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn’t bully me. But that was a lie. Not only did they steal my dowry and make me do all the housework, but they also beat and scolded me at the drop of a hat. You probably didn’t know any of this!”

Mother Wen jumped up in a rage, pointing a finger at her, but for a moment, she didn't dare to rush over as she had before:

"You have the nerve to say that? What's wrong with asking for some dowry? You think you got into the Wen family because of your looks?!"

Yu Shuyan suddenly looked at her:

"So, you mean you married me because of my dowry?"

"What do you think?"

"Mother~"

As soon as Wen's mother finished speaking, Wen Lang frowned and looked at her:

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

If people found out that he married Yu Shuyan for money, wouldn't the gentle and refined image he had painstakingly cultivated in front of others collapse overnight?

Wen's mother was unwilling, but under Wen Lang's indifferent gaze, she ultimately dared not utter another word.

Seeing her mother's discomfiture, Wen Qing frowned and looked at Wen Lang:

"Brother, how could you speak to Mother like that? Everything that happened today was because of Yu Shuyan. Instead of dealing with her, you're taking it out on Mother. Don't forget, she's an outsider; Mother and I are your real family!"

Yu Shuyan suddenly covered her face and began to sob:

"So, all these years, I've been dutiful to my mother-in-law, protected my sister-in-law, respected my husband, and even given birth to Zhe-ge for the Wen family. In the end, in your hearts, I'm still an outsider. No wonder you've been beating and scolding me all these years. From beginning to end, you've never looked down on me, the daughter of a merchant!"

As she spoke, she turned around abruptly, her sobs growing louder:

"Husband, now that you've passed the imperial examination, you no longer have to worry about making a living, and you don't need me, the daughter of a merchant, right? Fine, you don't need to chase me away, I'll leave on my own. I don't want the dowry you've used up, I only want Zhe-ge'er."

Before they could react, she rushed into the room, picked up the little one, carefully held him in her arms, and then turned and left the room again.

At this moment, Wen's mother was cursing loudly:

"What's gotten into this bitch today? She always speaks so softly before, why is she yelling like this today? So what if she's loud? Can she be louder than me? Let me tell you, if you want to leave, we'd be more than happy to see you. Right now, there are countless young ladies from respectable families waiting to marry our Lang-ge'er."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Wen Lang:

"Lang-ge'er, quickly write her a letter of divorce and divorce this slut."

Wen Qing also stepped forward, blocking Yu Shuyan's path, and coldly snorted:

"If you want to leave, then leave. Leave Zhe-ge'er behind. He is a member of the Wen family by blood. How can you, an outsider, take him away so easily? Once my brother writes the letter of divorce, I'll see if you don't cry your eyes out. By the way, you can leave on your own, but you are not allowed to take any of your remaining dowry with you."

Yu Shuyan protected the little dumpling and looked coldly at Wen Lang:

"Husband, you can write the divorce papers. You must have noticed what kind of life I've been living all these years. Today, that old man's reminder suddenly made me understand. A kind mother leads to a filial son; only a kind mother can have a filial son. Tolerating an unkind mother-in-law will only make me more and more miserable. As for the money, I'll leave all the money your whole family wants to you. Just give me the little dumpling. After all, you'll marry someone better in the future."

"Oh my goodness~ What's going on here! This family, they've already used up their wife and now they want to get a new one!"

Accompanied by a piercing sound, a plump middle-aged woman, with a sneer on her face, walked into the yard while cracking sunflower seeds.

The moment Yu Shuyan saw her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

The reason she spoke so loudly was that she knew that Aunt Niu next door had been at odds with Wen's mother since they were young.

They always keep an eye on the Wen family's every move. They're always thinking about finding some gossip about the Wen family to spread all over the place.

In her past life, however, she had always tolerated Wen's mother's actions. Since the parties involved didn't say anything, Aunt Niu, as a neighbor, naturally wouldn't say anything either.

However, today Yu Shuyan's voice grew louder and louder, each word accusing Wen's mother of being unkind and Wen Qing of being ruthless.

Aunt Niu seized the opportunity; how could she not come out and vent her anger on her mother?

Moreover, she was a notorious gossip, known throughout the surrounding villages as a loudmouth. She believed that everything that happened today would spread throughout Nancheng within a day.

Now that Wen Lang has passed the imperial examination, more people are paying attention to him, and the news may spread throughout the entire Lingjin City.

She came, and Wen Lang, wanting to maintain his image as a gentle and protective husband, naturally couldn't stop her from leaving.

Sure enough, before Wen's mother could launch into a tirade against Aunt Niu, Wen Lang calmly said:

"Shuyan, why don't you go back to your parents' house for a few days? I'll come and pick you up when you're calmer. As for the letter of divorce, that was just something I said in the heat of the moment, don't take it to heart. You are my wife, and that's a fact that no one can change."

Wen's mother became anxious:

"Lang-ge'er, you~"

Wen Lang waved his hand:

"Mother, stop talking."

Seeing Wen's mother's discomfiture, Aunt Niu laughed so hard that she cracked her melon seeds loudly.

"I knew it! Lang-ge'er is a reasonable man. A wife should be protected. If she doesn't go back to her parents' home from time to time to adjust her mood, she might go crazy!"

Seeing Wen's mother's face flushed with anger, he was even more pleased. He went forward to help Yu Shuyan and led her out. As they walked, he shouted loudly:

"Shuyan, you're a good girl, all of us neighbors know that. If you've been wronged in any way, just tell us, and we uncles and aunts will all stand up for you!"

Yu Shuyan lowered her head and followed her out. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step went smoothly, thankfully.

She's really looking forward to the next step!
