My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

Song House.

Song Chen'an had one of his teeth knocked out by Yu Yan, and Madam Ma discovered this as soon as he returned home. She pulled Song Chen'an aside and questioned him thoroughly.

"What right did he have to hit someone?" Madam Ma's shrill voice echoed throughout Hengxi Courtyard. "He even knocked out your teeth! How are you going to face anyone after this?"

"No, I'm going to find your father and make him submit a memorial impeaching him!" Madam Ma cursed as she walked out, completely unaware that her son had been covering his mouth and remaining silent.

Song Chen'an watched his mother leave in anger, feeling both ashamed and helpless.

Having a tooth knocked out is embarrassing enough, but then the mother made a huge fuss about it, and now the whole household will know.

He went into the inner room and looked in the bronze mirror. He examined himself carefully for a long time. His entire mouth was swollen, hot and slightly numb. He opened his mouth, then slowly closed it and pursed it. He felt that his entire mouth was not quite his own anymore.

What a cruel attack!

Although Song Chen'an had heard many rumors about the ruthlessness of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had never witnessed it firsthand. Therefore, he was not very afraid when facing the banquet, which led to today's disaster.

As he opened and closed his mouth, his tongue somehow touched the broken tooth, causing him to hiss twice in pain.

That bastard is someone you can't mess with.

Song Chen'an grew angrier the more he thought about it. He had only said a few words to Meng Ruohua, yet Yu Yanxia had treated him so cruelly.

In other words, he has been dismissed from his post now. If he hadn't been dismissed yet, and a tooth of his was knocked out, he would definitely have been removed from his post. Wouldn't that have ruined his career?

They're incredibly arrogant.

Even if he can't pursue a career in government in the future, missing a tooth is still not very elegant, and I wonder if Sister Lan will mind.

If Sister Lan dislikes him, wouldn't that ruin his life?

But he couldn't afford to offend Yu Yan, so he could only blame Meng Ruohua for everything.

Why is a woman who has returned to her parents' home wandering around the streets instead of staying at home? Is she trying to meet a man in secret?

The two had been having an ambiguous relationship since last year. Whenever he mentioned that there was something going on between them, Meng Ruohua would interrupt him and even slap him a few times.

Want to cover it up!

Ha! Does Meng think that she can marry Yu Yan after the divorce by making a fuss about getting a divorce?

What wishful thinking! Doesn't she even know who Yu Yan is? How could she possibly marry a divorced woman who has returned home?

Perhaps the two met today for this very reason, but it's unclear whether they reached an agreement. Meng Ruohua is such a good actress; you can't read a single emotion from her face.

Song Chen'an's eyes revealed disdain; he wanted to see what kind of good end she would have.

But this matter cannot be left unresolved. If he finds an opportunity, we will definitely ruin their reputations!

Song Chen'an gritted his teeth and secretly vowed, but with a little effort, he cried out in pain again.

When Ma arrived at Song Chang's study, Song Chang was admiring a piece of Huizhou ink when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

He had just looked up towards the door when he saw Madam Ma stride in with the speed of a whirlwind.

"Master, tomorrow you should submit a memorial impeaching Commander Yu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He publicly humiliated people and knocked out one of our son's teeth!"

Song Chang frowned and asked, "Why would he knock out his son's tooth?"

Mrs. Ma choked for a moment, then quickly recovered, "Shouldn't you be concerned about which tooth was knocked out? Shouldn't you be worried about whether our son is alright?"

The fact that he still had time to argue with him about this shows that his son's injury wasn't serious.

He sat down casually and said, "Didn't you ask me to submit a memorial? I need to find out the whole story!"

"Chen Ge'er only said two words, but he attacked without saying a word, knocking out one of Chen Ge'er's teeth and swelling up Chen Ge'er's mouth."

Song Chang then asked, "Were you there at the time?"

"Of course I wasn't there!" Madam Ma said indignantly. "If I had been there, how could he have bullied people like this? Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Does he have any respect for the law?"

Song Chang raised an eyebrow. "I think I don't need to write a memorial anymore. You write a complaint, and we'll take it to the Dali Temple."

Ma shouted shrilly, "Are you really that spineless? Your own son is being bullied, and you don't even dare to say a word."

"Weren't you not there at the time? How did you know he was bullied? What if he offended someone by speaking carelessly?"

“Chen’er is the most humble and polite, how could he have offended him?” Madam Ma walked up to Song Chang and scolded, “I think you’re just a coward, you don’t even dare to stand up for your own son.”

Helpless, Song Chang turned his head away and called out to the door, "Go and call Chen-ge'er here."

He caused this mess himself and didn't even bother to clean it up. Why did he send his mother to make a scene with me? If you're so capable, why don't you and your mother go and cause trouble at the Imperial Guard?

Li Mama, who was waiting outside the door, immediately sent someone to call Song Chen'an. Madam Ma believed that she was not wrong, so she sat down in the chair next to Song Chang with a straight face and snorted: "It's the same no matter who you call. If you don't want to write, just say so. Why bother people with all this back and forth?"

Song Chang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I don't want to think about it. You can go back now!"

Now it was Mrs. Ma's turn to gasp. "Is he your son? If you don't write it down, who will?"

Now that the family has separated, Ma feels that no one is watching her anymore, so she has become increasingly bold and argues with Song Chang every now and then.

Song Chang was also helpless, so he tried his best to avoid seeing her to prevent the two of them from arguing whenever they met.

After waiting for a short while, the old woman who had gone to deliver the message returned, but there was no one behind her.

"Second Master said he's fine and doesn't want Master to listen to Madam's nonsense," the old woman whispered to Granny Li.

Granny Li was stunned. The madam was standing up for the second master, but the second master was not only uncooperative, but also sabotaging her!

When Song Chang saw the old woman return, he asked loudly, "Why didn't Chen-ge'er come?"

Li Mama naturally couldn't answer according to Song Chen'an's words, so she racked her brains to find an excuse, "Second Master is tired and has already gone to sleep."

Song Chang subconsciously looked out the window at the warm sun, which was still shining brightly on the branches!

Going to bed so early? Who are you kidding!

Song Chang looked at Madam Ma, his eyes conveying a clear message: "I knew you were talking nonsense."

Mrs. Ma had been with him and his wife for over twenty years and was very familiar with every look in his eyes. Now, seeing the mockery in his eyes, she stood up abruptly.

"I'll go ask Chen-ge'er. If it's true, you must write a memorial impeaching him!"

Song Chang said leisurely from behind her, "It can't be true!"

So angry was Mrs. Ma that she stumbled and almost hit the threshold.

Madam Ma stormed out of Hengxi Courtyard and went straight back to Rongxi Courtyard without sending anyone to inform Song Chang.

In the front yard, Song Chang was already drinking tea and fiddling with chess pieces, completely ignoring Madam Ma's words. Of course, he also didn't bother to check on what had happened to his son.

The next day, it was Aunt Sun who sent Song Ming'an to visit, which angered Madam Ma in public, who scolded her for having ulterior motives and wanting to see Song Ming'an make a fool of himself.

Finally, Sun Yiniang was punished by kneeling in the courtyard. After Song Chang finished his shift, he heard the news reported by the servants and rushed to Rongxi Courtyard. He picked up Sun Yiniang and returned to He Courtyard. Madam Ma was so angry that she smashed an entire set of teacups.
