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

When Wen's mother saw him, she was furious that he actually scolded her and her daughter. She pointed at his nose and yelled at him:

"You old geezer, how dare you curse us! I'll scratch you to death!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward and ripped a knife across Bai Chongshan's face.

Yu Shuyan had been observing her and knew that, given her temper, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand being scolded like that by Bai Chongshan and would definitely retaliate by hitting him.

So, in the instant she lashed out, she stepped to the side and blocked Bai Chongshan's path. She blocked skillfully, ensuring that Wen's mother left three bloody marks on Bai Chongshan's face.

Bai Chongshan saw it again: she shielded him from danger without hesitation.

By doing this, she could make Bai Chongshan feel a sense of gratitude towards her. By leaving a mark in his heart, even if Wen Lang wanted to deal with her in the future, he would have some reservations.

Furthermore, having Wen's mother scratch three marks on his face would make Bai Chongshan dislike Wen's mother even more, thus lowering his good impression of Wen Lang.

When Wen's mother saw that she dared to stand in front of her, she was so angry that she reached out and slapped Yu Shuyan hard across the face again.

Yu Shuyan fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, but as if she couldn't stand up, she collapsed to the ground again.

Looking at her pitiful yet submissive appearance, Bai Chongshan was so angry that he roared again:

"Wen Lang, get out here right now!"

in fact.

Wen Lang remained in the study, listening intently to the sounds outside.

How could he not hear what his mother and sister had done? He just didn't want to go out and get involved. After all, even if he didn't like Yu Shuyan, he still had to maintain his image as a gentle, upright, and modest gentleman.

How could he be portrayed as someone who indulges his mother and sister and steals his wife's dowry?

He just needs to stay out of the way. Once they've gotten their money, he can pretend he knows nothing, say a few words to comfort that silly woman, and she'll completely believe he knows nothing.

She wouldn't even mention it to avoid upsetting him.

That would save him even more trouble.

However, he faintly heard other people's voices outside. But because the voices were not loud, he couldn't tell who it was.

So he never went out.

But a sudden outburst of anger made him abruptly stand up, a look of surprise and panic flashing in his eyes. He unconsciously muttered to himself:

"Dean Bai? Is it Dean Bai? How could it be~"

Bai Chongshan, who was in the courtyard, shouted loudly again:

"Wen Lang, I know you're home, come out here!"

Wen Lang frowned even more, because he was certain that the person outside the courtyard was Bai Chongshan.

How could this be? He went to great lengths to gain Bai Chongshan's favor. And now, he's been ruined by these foolish women.

It's all Yu Shuyan's fault. She's already lowly and stupid, but now, she's even losing her only redeeming quality: obedience!

If they're even unwilling to spend money, then it's a waste to let this merchant's daughter occupy the position of the principal wife.

Although his heart was filled with malice, the panic in his heart gradually subsided. After all, how could someone as shrewd as Wen Lang be so flustered by something so trivial?

He wrinkled his sleeves, pretending to be just woken up and looking puzzled, then opened the door and went out.

The moment he saw Bai Chongshan, his eyes lit up with joy, and he bowed to greet him.

"Teacher, what brings you here? I was reading and got tired, so I fell asleep without realizing it. In my half-asleep state, I thought I heard your voice. I couldn't believe it, but it really was you!"

The affection and joy in his expression were so genuine.

He unconsciously straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, both to maintain the illusion that he had just been asleep and to portray himself as a student who was embarrassed by his rudeness in front of the teacher.

This softened Bai Chongshan's expression somewhat, though he still frowned.

"It is truly admirable that someone who has already passed the imperial examination can still concentrate on their studies."

From the moment Wen Lang appeared, Yu Shuyan's eyes were fixed on him.

The hatred in her heart was like a raging storm, almost uncontrollable, threatening to burst forth, making her want to rush up and tear him to pieces.

But she managed to hold back. To suppress this impulse, her tightly clenched fingers drew blood from her palms.

She knew that someone like Wen Lang, who was two-faced, cunning, and adept at manipulating people, was not easy to deal with. She needed to proceed slowly and methodically, gradually crushing him into the dust.

For example, Bai Chongshan, who was originally furious, had his anger dissipate considerably after his performance.

He was such a skilled actor; no wonder she only saw his true colors in her past life, even until death.

However, Yu Shuyan did not want him to resolve the matter so easily.

Yu Shuyan looked nervous and apologetic as she timidly glanced at Wen Lang:

"My lord, today's events are all my fault. My sister came to me and immediately asked for my pearl headdress, saying she wanted to pawn it to host a celebratory banquet for you at Qingfeng Tower. It's all my fault, because that headdress is different from the ones I pawned before; it was passed down from my maternal grandmother. Besides, I've almost finished pawning all my dowry. So, I hesitated for a moment, which made my sister angry. I... I fell and was dizzy and had a headache, so I accidentally knocked her down as she rushed over. That's why my mother-in-law is disappointed in me and is personally teaching me how to be a daughter-in-law. As for offending our distinguished guest, you can blame me, but please don't blame my mother-in-law or my sister."

As she spoke, tears welled in her eyes, and she looked at Bai Chongshan. She bowed deeply to him.

"Sir, today's events were all caused by me. Please don't be angry with my mother-in-law, and don't take it out on my husband."

Although every word she uttered was her fault, she also clearly told Bai Chongshan:

First, this isn't a one-off incident. It's become a habit for them to ask her for her dowry to pawn, a habit they take for granted. Her dowry has already been pawned away, leaving very little.

Secondly, this dowry was intended for a grand celebration banquet to commemorate his passing the imperial examination. So, knowing full well that his family didn't have much money, Wen Lang still insisted on hosting the banquet at Qingfenglou, one of the top restaurants in Lingjin City. Did he even know that this money came from his wife's dowry?

Thirdly, she should establish herself in front of Bai Chongsheng as a good daughter-in-law who is filial, sensible, accommodating, and devoted to her husband's family, yet suffers greatly.

Of course, lastly, and most importantly, she was reminding Bai Chongshan not to forget what had just happened.

He should remember how his mother just cursed and humiliated him.

Wen Lang was taken aback, and his searching eyes instantly shot towards Yu Shuyan.

With his cunning, how could he not understand the consequences of Yu Shuyan's words?

However, he wanted to see whether Yu Shuyan's words were unintentional or deliberate.

However, when he met Yu Shuyan's gaze, he unconsciously swayed for a moment!
