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

As expected, Wen's mother waited for a long time, but Yu Shuyan did not speak.

She turned around abruptly and saw Yu Shuyan looking aggrieved, as if she were afraid of her, and hesitant to speak.

Yu Shuyan's large, fan-like eyes seemed to be saying to her:

Acting? You think you're so good at it?

Wen's mother was so angry she was about to explode.

Yu Shuyan, however, spoke hesitantly, her voice trembling:

"As a daughter-in-law, I know I shouldn't speak ill of my mother-in-law. But after enduring so many years, I never expected that my mother-in-law and her family would become so outrageous. They used to bully me, even pawning my dowry, and constantly using me to threaten my parents and demand money from them. But I never imagined they would have such a big appetite. Now, they're even asking for the shop."

As she spoke, a tear slid down her cheek at just the right moment, making her look incredibly wronged and pitiful.

Mrs. Wen clearly hadn't expected Yu Shuyan to act so unpredictably. Gritting her teeth in anger, she threatened coldly:

"Yu Shuyan, do you even know what you're saying? You're spouting such nonsense and slandering me and Qing'er. Aren't you afraid of having trouble explaining this to Lang'er when you get back?"

Yu Shuyan's tears began to fall in a steady stream.

“Mother-in-law, I know you know I’m sensible and care about my husband, so I always tolerate whatever you do to me. But this time, you’ve gone too far. You actually want my parents’ shops. My parents only have three shops in total, besides Yu’s Pharmacy, there are only two small shops. Now that you’re leaving, what will happen to my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my nephews and nieces?”

“You can’t be so selfish. I can’t let my parents be homeless again just for my own sake. As a son/daughter, I really can’t do that. Mother-in-law, please let me go, please let my parents go!”

Her pitiful and aggrieved appearance immediately convinced the onlookers that what she said was true.

Instantly, the condemning gazes of the crowd turned to the Wen family mother and daughter:

"I never would have guessed. This is the guilty party accusing the innocent first."

"They actually used their wife's dowry and even tried to take advantage of her family. How could they do such a thing?"

"Tell me, with a mother like that, what kind of son would she be if he passed the imperial examination?"

Although he hesitated to speak, it was clear that even Wen Lang's character was being questioned.

Now Wen's mother was truly anxious, but the more anxious she became, the less she knew what to say. Her face flushed red with worry, and she looked terribly unwell.

Wen Qing's eyes darted around, but she said:

“Sister-in-law, once you married into our family, you are one of us. My mother has to support my brother’s education, so our family is indeed not well-off. You knew this when you married into our family. We are family, so it’s understandable that we use some of your money.”

"Besides, my brother said that he would pay you back with interest after he passed the imperial examination and entered officialdom, using all the dowry you gave him."

“Before, because we lent you some money, you were arrogant and domineering at home, always beating and scolding us. Just like you just admitted, you hit me again this time and talked back to my mother. We’ve all been accommodating to you and put up with you.”

"But this time, I never expected that you would slander us like this, even with the help of outsiders, just because we didn't tolerate your bullying this time."

"Sister-in-law, you really, really went too far."

As she spoke, she covered her face and began to sob softly.

For a moment, the onlookers' eyes began to glaze over, unsure of whom to believe.

I've seen it all over the years. Ever since the Wen family married Shuyan, they've gone from being hardworking farm women to pampered ladies. She does everything herself, inside and out, even the farm work.

"Not only are they ungrateful, but they also beat and verbally abuse her at the drop of a hat."

"Now they're turning the tables and distorting the truth. Have they no shame? Have they no shame at all!"

Wen's mother was so angry that she pointed at her and was about to start cursing.

However, Wen Qing pinched his arm, causing him to gasp in pain and unable to utter a curse.

Wen Qing seized the opportunity to say:

“Aunt Niu, you and my mother have never gotten along. Aren’t you saying all this with personal grudges and revenge? Do you have any evidence to back up your claims? If not, then stop spouting nonsense here, or I can take you to the authorities.”

Her righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor made the onlookers believe her words even more.

Aunt Niu grew anxious and unconsciously looked at Yu Shuyan.

Yu Shuyan didn't react, but Aunt Niu was not having it. She slapped her thigh and shouted:

"Oh my, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so good at making up lies."

As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd and said loudly:

"I am the Wen family's neighbor."

Yu Shuyan gave her a look that seemed to go unnoticed.

Aunt Niu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and perked up:

"Evidence? You may not believe what I say. But you should at least believe what Dean Bai says."

A scholar in the crowd suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked:

"Dean Bai? Is it Dean Bai Chongshan of Songhe Academy?"

Aunt Niu nodded:

"it's him."

The scholar continued:

"Dean Bai is a god to all scholars in our Great Yong. He is also the teacher of most of the officials in the Great Yong court. If you use his name to spread rumors, you know the consequences."

Aunt Niu wasn't afraid at all, and nodded with a smile:

"Of course I know, and I can guarantee that what I said is absolutely true. Everyone can go and ask Dean Bai directly. Dean Bai is approachable, and he certainly won't turn anyone away if you want to ask him."

The scholar believed her:

“She’s right, I believe her. No one would dare to joke about Dean Bai. Tell me, what did Dean Bai say?”

Aunt Niu thought for a moment, and then, following Yu Shuyan's instructions, said:

"Dean Bai witnessed firsthand how the Wen family mother and daughter bullied Shuyan. Dean Bai told Shuyan that filial piety does not mean blind obedience. If the mother-in-law's behavior is wrong, as a junior, it is one's responsibility to advise her. Instead of simply tolerating it, one will only make the elders' behavior more and more outrageous."

"By the way, Dean Bai also said that if anyone says she's not a good daughter-in-law, Shuyan should go to him and he will help clear her name."

Mother Wen became anxious and pointed at her, shouting:

"Niu Cuimiao, you~"

Aunt Niu, however, didn't wait for her to speak and said directly:

"You dare say I'm lying? Then do you dare come with me right now to confront Dean Bai in front of him?"

Wen's mother choked, opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

If there was anything else they didn't understand, then everyone's eyes immediately filled with disgust as they looked at the Wen family mother and daughter.

"How can there be such shameless people? The old ones are disrespectful, and the young ones are cunning and pretentious. It's really a hardship for the Yu family's daughter to have such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

"Exactly! They spent all of her dowry and still had the nerve to come to her family's house and ask for her shop. That's just too greedy and shameless!"

"Get out of here right now! How dare you stay here? If I were a member of the Yu family, I would have already chased them out with a broom."

"Get out, get out, get out of here!"

Even the most thick-skinned Wen's mother and Wen Qing could no longer stand it.

The two gave Yu Shuyan a fierce look, then turned and slunk away.

"Wait, don't go yet!"

Yu Shuyan suddenly spoke up and called out to them.

How can we let them just leave like that?

Otherwise, wouldn't today's performance have been a waste of time?
