Halfway through his sentence, Li Huai-ren seemed to realize something, forcibly suppressing his anger and saying in a low voice, "Wu Yang, let's not make a scene anymore, okay?"

After saying that, Li Huai-ren secretly gave Li En a wink.

Li En hurriedly went to An Wuyang's feet, hugged An Wuyang's leg, and looked up at her, coaxing, "Mother, En'er missed Mother!"

An Wuyang lowered her eyes and saw a calculating look on Li En's youthful face that seemed out of place for his age.

The words I heard last night while standing in the old lady's courtyard still echoed in my ears.

An Wuyang's heart hardened.

"Speak, what are you planning to do now?"

When Li Huai-ren saw that his purpose had been exposed, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly hid it and pretended to be misunderstood.

"I'm fine. What could En'er and I possibly want to do?"

"We just wanted to check on you because we know you've worked so hard all these years, and yesterday you treated Grandma and En'er."

Li Huai-ren stepped forward to take An Wu-yang's hand.

An Wuyang was startled, as if he had almost bumped into something dirty, and quickly dodged away.

"No need!"

An Wuyang refused cleanly and decisively.

She once longed for the care and concern of this father and son, and she was willing to give her all for them with just a word.

But now that she's sober, do you really think you can get anything out of her with such insincere words and a few cheap flattery? No way!

"I'm fine! Look at the way you're thinking right now!"

Li Huai-ren put on an act, adopting a posture of deep sorrow and indignation.

"In the end, En'er and I are the people you're closest to!"

Even if you're angry with me, you can't treat En'er like this!

"Is this how a mother should act?"

After hearing Li Huai-ren's words, Li En also wiped away tears. The father and son were filled with resentment, and at first glance, it seemed as if An Wu-yang was really at fault.

An Wuyang had long been fed up with their persistent, clingy behavior. She thought to herself that rather than watching them put on an act and getting annoyed, it would be better to just confront them directly.

"Speak your mind!"

"If you continue to be a nuisance here, I'm sorry, I don't have time for you!"

An Wuyang started to walk away, but Li Huai Ren could no longer hide it. He stepped forward and blocked An Wuyang's path, asking loudly, "What medicine did you give Grandmother and En'er last night?"

"I think the effect is good, but En'er is still a bit weak and hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'm thinking of getting another dose of medicine!"

An Wuyang glanced at him and guessed from his words that what he wanted was the prescription from last night.

Getting medicine for Li En was a pretense; the real reason was to get the prescription and clean up Luo Qingfan's mess!

The three of them, who are usually inseparable, are nowhere to be seen today.

It turns out it was to "avoid suspicion"!

An Wuyang sneered and grabbed a handful of ground ivy from the ground: "Here, this is it!"

Upon seeing this, Li Huai-ren immediately frowned, his eyes flashing with intense hatred, a stark contrast to his previous obsequious demeanor.

"You've got to stop!"

Li Huai-ren shouted, "You selfish and vicious woman!"

"I just asked you to give me a prescription, but you're making excuses and even trying to fool me with this bunch of weeds!"

"Now most of the people in Ning County are suffering from illness, yet you keep the prescription to yourself!"

"A shameless and ignorant woman like you should be thrown into the execution ground and punished by the officials!"

Li Huai-ren's vicious words came at An Wu-yang like a barrage of bullets.

His face was contorted with rage, his eyes wide open, as if he harbored an irreconcilable hatred for An Wuyang!

"presumptuous!"

An Wuyang was so angry that her blood was boiling!

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!

"Is it my fault that most of Ning County is suffering?"

"If we're going to hold someone accountable, you and Luo Qingfan should be the first ones pushed to the execution ground and beaten to death!"

An Wuyang roared angrily and slapped him across the face.

A crisp sound rang out in the courtyard. An Wuyang still felt relieved and slapped back again.

"If we're talking about shamelessness, you're the most shameless person in the world!"

"You call yourself a gentleman, yet all you do is hide behind women and scavenge for food! You used to eat my food and live in my house, but now that you've finally managed to climb up to Luo Qingfan, you're rushing to be her dog and biting me instead!"

"You filthy thing, you don't know what's good for you. Well then, I'll tear that face off!"

An Wuyang raised his hand and slapped the victim repeatedly. A dozen crisp cracking sounds echoed throughout the courtyard.

While An Wuyang was catching his breath and resting, Li Huai Ren's face was already red and swollen from the slaps, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

"An Wuyang, you have assaulted your husband! Come with me to see the authorities!"

Li Huai-ren made a show of pulling and tugging, his manner aggressive.

"Wait!"

A shout came from the doorway, and a tall woman wearing a black veil led Yan Yan over.
