May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

There are rules to hitting someone.

These forty strokes of the cane could only injure the skin and flesh, or they could break all the bones and tendons, depending on how the master ordered it.

Wen Qinglan naturally wished she could just beat the person to death, but then she thought that if she killed the person, it would be difficult to explain to Yang Xun, so she had to settle for second best and just injure him.

Even so, Yang Xun was heartbroken, and when he came to Wen Qinglan's room, he didn't have a kind expression on his face at all.

Before long, it was time for the Wen family to host a banquet.

Although the banquet was hosted by the Wen family, the main character was Wen Qinglan, who naturally attended in her finest attire.

But after looking around the courtyard, he still couldn't find Wen Yuanshu.

Just then, Madam Wen arrived, and Wen Qinglan asked, "Sister-in-law, isn't my cousin here?"

Madam Wen nodded slightly: "Yuan Shu is not at ease coming to the front. She is currently in the courtyard with her mother."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qinglan's eyebrows twitched.

Everyone knows that Lu Chengyuan and Wen Yuanshu are very much in love. Wen Qinglan was not surprised at all that Wen Yuanshu was able to become pregnant again. If she had to say something, she just felt that the child came a little late.

"Sister-in-law, I'd like to go see your mother and thank her properly."

Thank you, Madam Wen, for standing up for her. Otherwise, she would have been tortured to death in that hell.

Madam Wen nodded: "Go quickly and come back quickly."

This platform was set up for Wen Qinglan today; it wouldn't be appropriate if she weren't there.

Wen Qinglan nodded and left in a hurry.

Compared to the bustling outer courtyard, Old Madam Wen's courtyard was much quieter.

"Have you experienced any discomfort during this pregnancy?"

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "No, Mother, don't worry, everything is fine."

“Even so, we cannot let our guard down,” said Madam Wen. “Last time you were so frightened during childbirth that you gave birth to twins at once. Even if you take good care of yourself afterward, there may still be some hidden health problems.”

At this point, Madam Wen looked up at Lu Chengyuan and said, "Chengyuan, you can't do what you did last time. No matter how big the matter is, you have to tell her before you leave Yuan Shu's side."

Lu Chengyuan nodded.

His expression was somewhat unpleasant, clearly recalling the scene of Wen Yuanshu's childbirth last time.

Although he wasn't by Wen Yuanshu's side, he saw her extremely weak after childbirth, which shocked him.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Yuan Shu," Lu Chengyuan said. "After a while, I will take leave and stay at home to focus on Yuan Shu. I will make sure that what happened last time will not happen again."

"It can't be that bad," Wen Yuanshu said helplessly. "You should focus on your business. I won't cause any trouble."

“That won’t do. There’s always a chance of something going wrong,” said Madam Wen. “It’s better to have Chengyuan stay at home, or even come home when he’s close to giving birth. That way, we can be absolutely sure everything will go smoothly.”

Wen Yuanshu was helpless.

This isn't the first time; is it really necessary?

However, when she met the gazes of Old Madam Wen and Lu Chengyuan, Wen Yuanshu could only nod and say, "Alright, alright, I understand. It's still early, let's not talk about things that far ahead."

Just then, Wen Qinglan came over.

Seeing the family sitting in the courtyard, Wen Qinglan paused slightly before continuing her steps: "Auntie, cousin, cousin's husband."

"Qinglan, come and sit down."

After Wen Qinglan sat down, Old Madam Wen asked again, "Why did you come here?"

Wen Qinglan smiled and said, "I wanted to thank my aunt and cousin again. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would have lived the rest of my life."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen sighed and said, "Alright, alright, let's not think about this now. Just focus on living a good life from now on."

Come to think of it, I don't know what's wrong with the younger generation. They are all precious young ladies, yet they all seem to be making foolish mistakes.

Madam Wen glanced at Wen Yuanshu without leaving a trace, and when she looked at Wen Qinglan again, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.
