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

Looking into his eyes, Yu Shuyan's gaze was filled with shimmering tears, deep longing, shyness, apology, and profound sorrow. This unexpected allure transformed her usually bland and uninteresting demeanor.

However, he also sensed that beneath these emotions lay another emotion that he couldn't immediately perceive.

"Alas, my daughter-in-law, because of her humble origins as a merchant, disobeys her mother-in-law and beats her sister-in-law. I only did some inappropriate things because I was provoked by her. Don't worry, I will teach her a good lesson later."

Wen's mother, however, was rather dim-witted. She was surprised to see the old man she had been cursing so harshly being fawned over by Wen Lang.

Even the most foolish woman realizes she's made a mistake.

Just as she was wondering what to do, Yu Shuyan spoke up, blaming everything on her.

She suddenly perked up and shouted at Bai Chongshan.

Wen Lang was startled by her shout and turned his gaze to Yu Shuyan with a probing look.

Yu Shuyan noticed his gaze shift away, and she abruptly lowered her head, her eyes instantly filled with disgust and resentment. She had been genuinely afraid just now, and if she continued to look Wen Lang in the eye, she didn't know if she could still hide her emotions.

It's all thanks to that stupid and clumsy mother.

She wanted to see how Wen Lang would shut up his mother, who was so talkative, vulgar, and stupid, in order to maintain his image as a dutiful son!

Bai Chongshan frowned, staring at Wen's mother:

"So, you think that all the blame lies with your daughter-in-law?"

Wen's mother was completely oblivious to Bai Chongshan's displeasure, and smiled obsequiously:

"Yes, yes, it's all her fault. As for what I just said to you, it was because I didn't know you were Lang'er's teacher."

"So, just because I'm not his teacher, does that mean I can be arbitrarily criticized and insulted by you?"

Bai Chongshan frowned even more deeply.

He simply couldn't understand how such a mother could raise such a bright, gentle, and noble person as Wen Lang.

Or is it that Wen Lang is not as he thought?

So, why was Wen Lang so eager to help him solve his problem? Was it simply because he had taught him at the academy, or...?

Unconsciously, Bai Chongshan turned his head and looked at Wen Lang with a probing gaze.

Yu Shuyan noticed the probing look in his eyes, and her heart calmed slightly. It seemed her performance had worked.

Even if Bai Chongshan only harbored a slight suspicion towards Wen Lang, that was enough. After all, once the seed of suspicion is planted, it will eventually grow into a towering tree if carefully nurtured.

Yu Shuyan glanced at Wen Lang again. She admired him; he was truly composed. Though flustered, he remained calm, clearly intending to plan his move carefully.

Sure enough, Wen Lang's eyes suddenly flickered, and then he made a move.

Suddenly, he took a step back, flicked the hem of his robe, and knelt down in front of Bai Chongshan. The movement was as smooth as flowing water, elegant and graceful, without appearing abrupt.

Bai Chongshan took a step back, puzzled, and said:

"What are you doing? Get up right now!"

Wen Lang looked up, his eyes filled with sincerity and remorse:

“Teacher, although I don’t know exactly what happened, I know my mother’s temper. I lost my father when I was young, and my mother raised my siblings and me with great difficulty. Because of this, in order to make a living, she, a woman, had no choice but to gradually develop this fiery temper. My mother is kind-hearted, but when she gets angry, she inevitably talks nonsense. As the saying goes, a child doesn’t despise their mother for being ugly. If she said anything that offended you, please don’t hold it against her. I apologize to you on her behalf.”

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to Bai Chongshan.

In an instant, Wen's mother, who was originally portrayed as despicable, was transformed into a loving mother who had no choice but to become shrewish in order to protect her children.

Yu Shuyan felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Bai Chongshan and, sure enough, saw the anger in his eyes, which eased her feelings a little.

"Shuyan~"

Wen Lang's sudden soft call startled Yu Shuyan, who turned to look at him.

And then we met his eyes, those eyes filled with apology:

"Shuyan, I know my mother has a fiery temper. Now that you've married me, please be tolerant of her. As for what happened today, my mother took it upon herself to ask you for jewelry and wanted to host a banquet for me at Qingfeng Tower. I knew nothing about that. Rest assured, I will never agree to such extravagance."

“I told you before not to always use your dowry to supplement the family income. But you always said that since you married me, we are family and there is no distinction between us. I have always kept your kindness in my heart. Today, with your teacher here, I promise you that once I have a stable official position and the ability to do so, I will definitely repay you for everything you have given to this family, little by little. I, Wenlang, will treat you even better and live up to your kindness.”

Upon hearing that he wanted to help Yu Shuyan redeem the things she had pawned, Wen's mother was eager to speak up.

Wen Qing tugged at her, stopping her from acting impulsively.

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly.

Wenlang, oh Wenlang, you really are you.

In just a few words, he portrayed the fact that the dowry was given as her own choice. He also depicted himself as a devoted husband who remembered her kindness and loved and protected his wife.

He is also a good son who is filial to his mother and willing to bear everything for her.

Even the image of Wen's mother is no longer that of a vulgar and base woman, but rather a woman who lives strong for her children.

The anger in Bai Chongshan's eyes completely disappeared. In fact, when he looked at Wen Lang, there was a hint of satisfaction and regret in his eyes.

It seems he is thinking:

What a wonderful child, it's such a pity he met such a mother.

It seems that no matter how well Wen Lang tried to protect her, Wen's mother's vicious and furious shrewish image, along with the vile and disgusting words she uttered, still left Bai Chongshan with a sense of disgust.

Noticing Bai Chongshan's change, Yu Shuyan knew that it wouldn't be possible to make Bai Chongshan disappointed in Wen Lang in a short time.

Since that's the case, let's first make Bai Chongshan leave a bad impression on Wen's mother and Wen Qing. That way, it should be easier for her to deal with them later.

Her eyes flickered, and Yu Shuyan had an idea.
