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

Upon first seeing Wang, a cold glint flashed in An Wuyang's eyes.

Wang, however, was aggressive, maintaining the airs of a mother-in-law while simultaneously showing disdain for An Wuyang.

"What a shameless country bumpkin! Since you're so shameless, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"According to the laws of our dynasty, a woman like you who betrays her husband should be drowned in a pig cage!"

Wang's words were so harsh that passersby couldn't help but stop and stare at him.

The way he looked at An Wuyang was quite malicious!

Yan Juzhi's brows furrowed with anger. Before Wang Shi could get close, he stepped forward and blocked An Wuyang's view, separating Wang Shi from An Wuyang.

"Who do you think you are? I'm disciplining my daughter-in-law, and you dare to stop me?"

"Could it be you..."

shuh...

Yan Juzhi drew his sword, and the blade swiftly passed before Wang Shi's eyes. With a "whoosh," Wang Shi's hair was ripped apart.

"you……"

Yan Juzhi didn't give Wang Shi a chance to continue speaking, pointing his sword directly at her and forcibly forcing her to shut up.

Although Wang was furious, she ultimately swallowed her anger due to the overwhelming murderous aura emanating from Yan Juzhi.

In contrast, Yan Juzhi appeared completely nonchalant. He slightly tilted his head, picked at his ear, and glanced at Wang Shi with a sidelong look.

"Wang was the niece of the former Crown Prince's tutor. She married the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong and had a son and a daughter. In the thirty-first year of the Qingfeng era, she fled to Ning County with the Marquis of Zhongyong's family."

Yan Juzhi sneered, seemingly disdainful, but then introduced the Wang family.

Wang's initial anger immediately subsided.

Although she always presented herself as the mistress of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, she never told anyone in Ning County about her family background.

Firstly, I felt that the peasants of this place were not worthy of the title, and secondly, I couldn't help but feel sad when I thought of the glorious past.

The fact that the person in front of me could so easily expose my family background shows that he is no ordinary person.

Thinking of the important matter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's family returning to the capital, Madam Wang immediately realized that things were not as simple as she thought, and that the person in front of her was someone she could not afford to offend.

Yan Juzhi's aura hardened, his eyes coldly fixed on Wang Shi: "You're saying she's a married woman?"

"I have seen the invitation from the Marquis of Zhongyong's family to return to the capital. It did not mention that the Marquis of Zhongyong's heir had a daughter-in-law. Could it be that the Marquis of Zhongyong's family is hiding something from His Majesty?"

"I'm not……"

Wang's face turned extremely pale for a moment.

Because everyone in the household felt that An Wuyang's status was not worthy of marrying Li Huai Ren as his principal wife, in order to find a noble wife for Li Huai Ren when they returned to the capital, they omitted An Wuyang's existence from the invitation to return to the capital.

Unfortunately, this is the moment someone has caught me red-handed.

Wang was anxious and argued, "My son has never married; she is merely a concubine!"

Upon hearing Wang's remarks, Yan Juzhi's face immediately turned ashen.

He raised his eyes, exuding a chilling aura, his sinister eyes almost spitting fire.

"A concubine?"

Yan Juzhi emphasized the word "tongfang" (通房) so much that it seemed as if he wanted to chew it up.

"You mean, the Marquis of Zhongyong's family fled the country, but still forced respectable women to become their concubines?"

"What a grand display of wealth and extravagance the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has to offer!"

Yan Juzhi's questioning startled Wang Shi so much that she retreated repeatedly.

She discreetly observed Yan Juzhi, and knew that he possessed an extraordinary aura, so she feared that he might indeed have some connection with the capital.

Wang was immediately filled with panic, fearing that her return to the capital might be disrupted.

Now, Madam Wang was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have blocked An Wuyang's path. He was just a discarded pawn anyway; no matter how reckless he was, he couldn't cause any trouble. Why should she bother with this trivial matter?

"My lord, please listen to me. It wasn't that my son forcibly took her as a concubine. It was because she... pestered me relentlessly, insisting on marrying my son. My son couldn't refuse... so he..."

Wang racked her brains for a way to shirk responsibility, wishing she could trample An Wuyang into the mud.

"enough!"

An Wuyang could no longer listen.

An Wuyang already knew that Wang was shameless, so no matter what she said, she never took it to heart.

Adhering to the principle of arguing back if possible, but not ignoring baseless statements that are not worth arguing about, she didn't say anything too harsh.

But now, as Wang humiliated her in front of Yan Juzhi, An Wuyang felt her cheeks burning and her heart aching, feeling extremely constricted.

An Wuyang stepped forward angrily: "A few years ago, more than a dozen members of your Li family fled to Ning County. I saved you and provided you with food and lodging!"

"You whole family of scoundrels are ungrateful! You bullied me, an orphan, and now you've taken over my home and are acting like tyrants!"

"And now you say I'm your concubine? How dare you! Such shamelessness, yet you call yourself a powerful figure in the capital. I'm afraid even the powerful figures in the capital would be too ashamed to show their faces in public after hearing this!"
