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

Li Huai-ren's face was fierce, a cold, hard curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes glared angrily at An Wu-yang, like an imposing and inviolable law enforcer.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice cold: "But the matter has come so suddenly that I cannot send anyone to carry out the family discipline; I must do it myself!"

"An Wuyang, this is all your own fault!"

After Li Huai-ren finished speaking, he raised his whip, which drew a cruel arc in the air!

Snapped!

Before the whip could fall, An Wuyang slapped Li Huai Ren across the face first.

Although Li Huai-ren came from a prestigious family, he was devoted to literature and never practiced martial arts.

Furthermore, after marrying An Wuyang, he had always lived a life of luxury, so when it came to fighting, he was not as agile and skillful as An Wuyang.

Suddenly slapped, Li Huai-ren's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Since ancient times, the husband has been the head of the household, and what wife would dare to defy her husband? Has An Wuyang gone mad? How dare she hit him?

"What a ridiculous family rule!"

An Wuyang's angry rebuke pulled Li Huai Ren back from his shock.

But An Wuyang's face was filled with a mocking smile born of despair.

"Li Huai-ren, listen carefully. We have no arranged marriage, we haven't even bowed to heaven and earth, so we can't be considered husband and wife!"

An Wuyang's words caused Li Huai Ren's heart to tremble violently. His brows furrowed immediately, and anger filled his chest.

All that could be heard was An Wuyang loudly questioning, "What right do you have to enforce your family's low-class rules on me?"

Li Huai-ren laughed angrily: "On what grounds? Because we have already consummated our marriage!"

"Just because you gave birth to En'er!"

An Wuyang found Li Huai Ren's nonsensical words utterly ridiculous.

She stepped forward and snatched the whip from Li Huai-ren's hand.

Snapped!

The whip cracked through the air, and although it didn't strike Li Huai-ren, it was enough to startle him and make him flinch.

"What kind of marital relations are you talking about? Have you no shame?"

An Wuyang retorted sharply: "To be honest, I'm nothing more than a respectable woman you've deceived. You're talking to me about marital relations today? I'd like to drag you to the authorities and we'll settle this in court—who owes me, and who owes you!"

"Shameless scoundrels, ungrateful and a whole family of bloodsucking locusts! Once I expose all the shameful things you've done, let's see if you'll still have the face to return to the capital!"

An Wuyang's expression was deep and her tone was extremely serious. Although her tone contained a hint of threat, she was not incapable of putting on a show.

An Wuyang's resolute attitude made Li Huai-ren feel, for a moment, as if he had lost something.

But soon, he saw the neatly arranged writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones behind An Wuyang.

These were all things that An Wuyang had spent a lot of money to acquire for himself, and had put in a great deal of effort.

Li Huai-ren immediately understood.

An Wuyang is playing hard to get again.

Although An Wuyang said she wouldn't admit it, she still quietly took care of the writing materials for herself after returning to her room.

Such a hypocritical woman, though her intentions were not bad, did indeed annoy him.

Therefore, Li Huai-ren issued a warning.

You need to know when to stop!

"This kind of playing hard to get will only make me less and less patient with you!"

After saying that, as if that wasn't enough, he added, "Why can't you learn from Qingfan? She's never so annoying!"

An Wuyang felt powerless, thinking to herself that she had never known that Li Huai Ren was such a shameless person!

Enough said, there's no point in saying more. Rather than getting into a verbal battle with him here, we should hurry up and plan our return to the palace.

An Wuyang sneered, then his tone became more languid: "Li Huai Ren, I have nothing more to say to you now. Go away, or I'll force you to hit me!"

After speaking, An Wuyang cracked his whip and was the first to leave the room.

Seeing this, Li Huai-ren suddenly felt annoyed and scolded, "Stop right there! With your stubbornness, it's no wonder that Mother likes Qing-fan and doesn't like you!"

Li Huai-ren was dissatisfied with An Wu-yang's uncontrollable behavior, and his tone quickly became more and more severe.

"Do you know that Qingfan is never as rude and vulgar as you!"

Li Huai-ren made a move to pull An Wu-yang, which instantly made An Wu-yang's hair stand on end. It turned out that An Wu-yang was now so resistant to Li Huai-ren.

Just as she was about to reprimand them, she saw Luo Qingfan pulling Li En towards them from not far away. The two, one big and one small, were carrying flower baskets and smiling sweetly. When she saw Li Huai Ren and An Wu Yang struggling, her eyes suddenly darkened.

"Luo Qingfan is here!"
