The merchant's rebirth led to the complete downfall of the Marquis's mansion.

Liu, accompanied by her maids and servants, stormed in aggressively.

She had inquired about this house; no one had been here for many years.

Last time when I asked Xia Qiutang, she said no one came. Now Liu is furious. Anyway, even if she breaks down the door, no one will say anything.

The door was forced open, and Liu walked in, cursing and swearing.

But as he got closer to the door, he realized something was wrong.

There were sounds of fighting coming from inside.

"Go! Go see what's going on!" Liu said to the nanny and maid.

He then pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao to stand to one side.

She wouldn't think her son would suffer a loss, since Jiang Liu was still there.

I just don't know how they started fighting. Did the son get so angry that he hit Xia Qiutang?

But there's only Xia Qiutang! Adding a maid shouldn't cause such a commotion!

"That little sixth one too! Where did he run off to again!" Liu had intended to send him to check, but when she turned around, there was no one there, so she couldn't help but complain.

"Hey! What are you doing! Let go of my young master!"

From inside came the anxious and fearful voice of the old woman. Liu's heart jumped and she quickly ran over.

Upon seeing this, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

She saw her good son being pinned to the ground and beaten repeatedly with a wooden stick.

Liu, with a burst of strength she didn't know she possessed, rushed forward and knocked away the person who was pressing down on Jiang Su.

The impact knocked the person who was committing the assault away, allowing Jiang Su to get up.

"Son! Who are you?! What right do you have to hit my son?!" Liu looked at Jiang Su with heartache and roared at the two men.

"Hey! Another one here. Don't be shy! Let's take them all on!"

Only then did Liu look at the person who had spoken.

The man looked similar to her son, appearing respectable, but his clothes were casually draped over his shoulders.

A roguish smile played on his lips, and his words were utterly cruel.

Before Liu could even think, the people beside her had already picked up sticks and came up again.

"How dare you!" Liu had barely finished speaking when a stick struck her, causing her to howl in pain.

The blows from the sticks quickly overwhelmed the Liu couple, but fortunately, Jiang Xiaoxiao shouted from outside.

"Help! Murder!"

"Young master?" The stick stopped, and the person looked at the man beside him.

"go!"

Before Liu could recover from the pain, they had already left.

"Mother!" Jiang Xiaoxiao ran in and carefully helped Liu Shi up.

Liu stood up and sat down with Jiang Xiaoxiao's help.

She groaned twice before remembering her son, "Quick! Go check on your brother!"

Jiang Su was also helped up, but his injuries looked much more serious than Liu's.

Mrs. Liu was heartbroken. "These heartless bastards! Why did they hit my son?!"

Jiang Su took a few breaths before turning his head and staring intently at the bed inside.

Looking over, Liu immediately saw that there was still someone lying on the bed.

"Who?"

Liu's mind returned to normal, and she took a few steps forward to pull back the blanket.

"what!"

"what!"

Two female voices sounded in succession.

Looking at the two naked people, Liu felt a wave of dizziness.

On the bed were the two women, mistress and servant, whom she had come to catch "cheating."

Lenovo's son was just beaten, and that disheveled man—what else is there to misunderstand?!

"You...you little whore!" Liu slapped Xia Qiutang across the face.

Last time, I overheard someone mentioning a man, and she brushed it off with a few words. Now that she's been caught red-handed, let's see how she tries to deny it!

Liu dragged the two women off the bed and slapped them repeatedly.

Jiang Su sat to the side, observing coldly.

"Husband! Save me! I didn't do it willingly!" Xia Qiutang cried out to Jiang Su for help after being slapped several times.

Jiang Su didn't move, and smiled cruelly as he watched her pleading.

He had been observing from outside for a while when he came over, and every word of the three people's foul language had reached his ears.

Not voluntary?

When you call him a coward? Or when you regret not marrying that man?

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Xia Qiutang turned to the river on the ground.

It's a real shame that Jiang Liu can't get up now.

He shielded Jiang Su from most of the attacks and is now unconscious.

Liu was still throwing a tantrum. Seeing that she was still relentless, Xia Qiutang stopped pretending, grabbed her hand that was about to fall, and forcefully shook it off.

"You! How dare you!" Liu looked at her in disbelief.

The next second they'd have the nanny go up and grab someone.

"Mother, you need to think this through. Do you know who that person was?"

"What do I need to know about that scumbag who seduced someone else's wife? I'm going to sue him! And you, you bitch! I'll make sure you both go to jail!"

"Ha!" Xia Qiutang sneered.

"Have you forgotten your place? His father is the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy. You think you can sue him just because you're commoners?"

"Don't get beaten to death before you even leave the house!"

As expected, Lady Liu was terrified. Without her status as a member of the Marquis's household, she was nothing more than an ordinary woman.

The people around me were all ordinary people, with no manners whatsoever.

Not to mention those with some influence.

If that man were the son of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, wouldn't they have to swallow their pride and bear it?

Liu turned to look at her son.

That green hat was worn by my son!

Jiang Su hadn't forgotten that the man Xia Qiutang married in her previous life was the same man she had just met.

and so……

"I'm only asking you this! Did you have an affair with him before you got married?"

Xia Qiutang didn't care at all, and took the clothes from the maid and put them on.

"So what if it is? You only have yourself to blame for being incompetent, a good-for-nothing who can't even seize an opportunity!"

"Yulang said he'll be coming to pick me up in a few days, who would want to stay in this lousy place!"

After Xia Qiutang finished speaking, she tidied her hair, ignored everyone else, and left the room.

Jiang Su clenched his fists, staring intently at Xia Qiutang's back as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.

He could now be certain that Xia Qiutang had no feelings for him; she was eager to leave him now that he was down on his luck.

All that tenderness and affection I showed him before, all that deep love, was fake!

So what about his actions of constantly dwelling on his memories, even imprisoning and harming Qin Yao?

When they got home, Xiao Liu had already found a doctor. He first examined Jiang Liu and found nothing seriously wrong, and then he examined Jiang Su.

Xiao Liu craned his neck, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.

"Doctor, is my hand alright?" Jiang Su asked.

"It's okay, but you need to rest and avoid getting injured again. Also, don't exert yourself too much recently, or you'll have lasting effects."

Xiao Liu was a little disappointed; nothing happened! He had specifically mentioned that Jiang Su's beautiful handwriting had attracted many women!

The doctor prescribed the medicine and left, telling Jiang Su to rest well.

Jiang Liu was still unconscious when Jiang Su carried him directly into his room.

Xia Qiutang was about to have someone carry her away when Jiang Su stopped her.

Xia Qiutang was furious. "There's only one bed. You're letting him stay here? Where am I supposed to go?"

Jiang Su glared at her and said, "Get out!"

Xia Qiutang didn't react for a moment, only to hear Jiang Su continue:

"You don't think you can stay here after sleeping with someone else, do you?"

Is not it?

"Don't make me say it a second time!!!" The aura of a superior was overwhelming, and Xia Qiutang was startled. She retreated with her maid.

In that instant, Xia Qiutang seemed to see her father.

She felt she must have seen wrong, but still didn't want to go in and face Jiang Su, so she went to the servants' quarters with her maid.

When Jiang Liu woke up, it was already midnight. It was pitch black all around, but he could still see some things by the light.

A dark figure slowly groped around in the night, holding a stick.

"Young master! Be careful!"

Jiang Su straightened up, and the dark figure's stick missed its mark, hitting the table with a dull thud.

He wanted to make another move, but Jiang Su had already run towards the door.

"Whack!" The stick landed on him.

Jiang Su forced himself to open the door and ran out.

Just as the shadowy figure was about to give chase, its leg was grabbed.

The shadowy figure showed no mercy, striking Jiang Liu with a stick, causing Jiang Liu to release his grip.

It started raining outside, and Jiang Su ran wildly in the rain, covering his arms.

Behind them were men in black relentlessly pursuing them.
