He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

As dawn broke and the sky brightened, An Wuyang was escorted back to the city lord's mansion by the crowd.

Having stayed up all night, she was exhausted and rested in the guest room.

When Li Huai-ren arrived at the city lord's mansion following An Wu-yang's direction, the gates were already tightly closed.

"Open the door!"

Li Huai-ren hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The gatekeeper cracked open the vermilion gate, revealing a pair of eyes: "Who are you looking for?"

"I've come to inquire if my wife is safe and sound. Please inform her!"

The door slammed shut again.

A muffled complaint came from inside: "You shifty-eyed rascal, what kind of wife are you looking for here?"

"What do you take the City Lord's Mansion for? Is it a place where scoundrels like you can come here?"

Li Huai-ren, as if he hadn't explained himself clearly, continued to knock on the door.

"Open the door!"

"My wife is An Wuyang, who sacrificed herself to save the child of Ning County last night on the front lines of the rebel army. She just entered the city lord's mansion with your city lord, and I'm going to see her now!"

"Open the door..."

Li Huai-ren pounded on the door, shouting loudly as if afraid the people inside wouldn't hear him.

Unfortunately, he knocked for a long time this time, but no one answered the door.

Some passersby saw it from afar and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

“A man can’t have it all! Anyone can see that both Miss Luo Qingfan and Madam An are outstanding women, unlike ordinary women.”

"If someone tries to have the good fortune of having two wives, they'll probably end up losing everything!"

The man smiled sarcastically, glanced at Li Huai-ren, and then left.

Li Huai-ren was furious and wanted to chase after her to argue, but then he heard a woman covering her mouth and chuckling.

"The old scholar is still speaking politely. This scoundrel is shameless. I'm his neighbor, and I saw him kissing his mistress in the yard yesterday. And today he's running off to chase after his wife?"

"That bitch is so pretentious, and that scoundrel is so shameless. Now that she's successful, he's all scrambling to get back together with her!"

"Don't you even know your place? Are you even worthy of her? Lady An has the city lord protecting her now, she probably wouldn't even look at a dog like you! Bah!"

The one who was cursing was Tiger's mother. She didn't care whether Luo Qingfan and Li Huai'ren had made any contributions. Yesterday, when so many children were captured by the rebel army, it was An Niangzi who stepped forward. She only recognized that!

Li Huai-ren was furious at being humiliated in the street.

"You ignorant woman..."

Just as Li Huai-ren was about to unleash a torrent of curses, he saw a group of women surrounding Hu Zi's mother throwing sunflower seed shells at him.

"Pooh!"

"A down-on-his-luck fellow, yet he spends his days dreaming of the life of a nobleman from the capital!"

Li Huai-ren was momentarily confused and thought that if he got entangled with these unruly women, he would only suffer the consequences. So he hurriedly ran away and prepared to go home.

As soon as he got home, Li Huai-ren saw his father rushing out of the yard.

He bumped right into Li Huai Ren, and a look of panic flashed across Li Yi An's face.

"Huai Ren, go see your mother!"

After giving a brief explanation, Li Yi'an hurriedly ran away.

Li Huai-ren was puzzled at first, but then he saw Li Yi-an leave the courtyard, and the young widow from the south city came out from the corner, crying and cursing.

Li Yi'an coaxed her gently, wishing he could kneel down before the young widow...

Their attitude is as lowly as a dog's!

Li Huai-ren's face twitched. He felt it was immoral and scandalous, but because the man was his father, he couldn't say anything!

Just then, Wang came out of the house, and she was seen with disheveled hair and a haggard appearance.

"Li Yi'an, you heartless bastard! I've managed the household and borne your children, yet I've never abandoned you even in the face of hardship!"

"But you're out there having affairs, even stealing my private money to support that vixen!"

"Are you worthy of me?"

Wang cried miserably and bumped into Li Huai-ren. Without saying a word, she grabbed Li Huai-ren's arm and cried hysterically, "Look at the way your father is behaving now! Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Li Huai-ren was having a terrible headache because of Wang Shi, but he couldn't say anything harsh to his mother, so he said, "Mother, don't worry. What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"

"Mother, just remember that you will always be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion!"

Wang was so angry at Li Huai-ren's words that she gritted her teeth.

"Get out, you heartless bastards!"

"It's a shame you all surnamed Li, you're all the same! Not a single one of you can be considered respectable!"

Li Huai-ren couldn't believe that his mother was also so unreasonable, and he became increasingly frustrated.

Now, one or two things have caused Li Huai-ren a lot of trouble, and he is resentful of An Wu-yang. Why was the family peaceful before, but now it is in such a mess!

What's most infuriating is that with so many messes at home, An Wuyang doesn't come back to clean them up, but instead secretly stays at the City Lord's Mansion and does some shameful things that no one knows about!

If he ever gets the chance, he'll definitely teach this shameless woman a lesson, so she'll submit and obediently take care of his family, and even give him all the credit for today's work!

Having made up his mind, Li Huai-ren changed direction and went to find Luo Qing-fan.

If we want to keep An Wuyang under control, it seems we'll have to rely on Prime Minister Luo's help!

……

An Wuyang rested for several hours with his head covered, and when he woke up again, his fatigue had eased considerably.

Zhu Ying came in to help her with her dressing and makeup, intending to change her into a more gorgeous dress.

An Wuyang waved his hand and chose to wear his old clothes instead.

Given the current unclear situation, she is unwilling to reveal her identity prematurely.

After washing up, An Wuyang went to the front hall and saw Eunuch Chang leading a group of people kneeling on the ground.

"Princess!"

Eunuch Chang announced, "Your subordinates respectfully request that the princess return to the palace!"
