The situation reached a stalemate, with one refusing to dismount from the carriage and the other blocking the way.

Xue Yuanzhi's face was a little pale, his mind racing. He didn't know where Qingmo had gotten the information, and the current situation didn't allow him to think about it too much.

She put her son down and went over to pull Qingmo away.

“Madam, let’s talk this out at home. What kind of behavior is it to stop a car in the street? Go back.”

Qingmo calmly pulled open her sleeve and said, "Husband, what do you mean? When I heard that you had brought a mistress back, I immediately brought people to welcome you. But what is the meaning of this young lady's delay in getting out of the carriage?"

Xue Yuanzhi: "Madam, please stop being unreasonable. I will explain this to you in detail when we get back. Now, let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of others."

"What a joke? What joke? Is my husband spoiling his concubine and neglecting his wife? I kindly invited my sister into the manor on your behalf. What do you mean by this? I heard that my sister is six months pregnant. Does my husband intend to keep her outside? Anyone who doesn't know better would think that the Xue family has no manners."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuanzhi frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "Madam, don't talk nonsense. There is no mistress."

Qingmo sneered: "If my husband is truly upright, then let the person in the carriage get out and meet him."

At this moment, a soft sobbing sound came from inside the carriage, and a delicate female voice said: "Sister, you have misunderstood. I am not a mistress. If you cannot tolerate me, I will leave."

Qingmo remained unmoved: "That's utterly unreasonable. Today I came with great fanfare to welcome Auntie into the mansion. How could I be the one who lacks tolerance? Sister, please come down and talk."

Xue Yuanzhi sighed helplessly, "Madam, your aggressive behavior today is not befitting of a lady from a respectable family."

Qingmo looked directly into his eyes: "Husband, I am only trying to protect the reputation of the Xue family, so that others will not say that I am jealous."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuanzhi's face darkened further. He glared at Qingmo and said, "Madam, Miss Liu is not a concubine. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Since my husband is so protective of her, he must like her very much. Since she's not a concubine, does that mean my husband plans to marry her as his principal wife with great pomp and circumstance?"

Xue Yuanzhi was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

At this moment, the woman in the carriage slowly poked her head out. She had a beautiful face and a pitiful look on her face.

Seeing this, Qingmo chuckled, "My sister is quite beautiful."

She turned to Xue Yuanzhi and said, "Husband, today's events have spread throughout the city. It seems you don't want your sister to be a concubine, so you want to demote your wife to the same level?"

Without waiting for a reply, he drew a whip from his waist and lashed it across the carriage, instantly shattering it into pieces.

Fragments flew everywhere, causing the woman in the carriage to scream repeatedly, trembling as she clutched her swollen belly, while the horse was shot dead by Han Fei's arrow.

Xue Yuanzhi quickly carried the woman down, glaring at Qingmo: "Madam, have you gone mad?!"

Qingmo held the whip, her expression calm: "Husband, this is my attitude."

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, a group of soldiers suddenly ran over from a distance, and the leader shouted, "Who is making a scene here?"

Xue Yuanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to explain, saying it was a family matter.

The official glanced at Qingmo, then at the trembling woman, and roughly understood what was going on.

The official immediately said, "General Xue, although family matters are difficult to resolve, it is not appropriate to disturb the people in broad daylight. In my opinion, it would be best to quell this matter as soon as possible."

Qingmo said, "Husband, either let Miss Liu enter the manor as a concubine, or you should divorce me today."

After weighing the pros and cons, Xue Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and said to the woman, "Ruyan, let's leave it at that for now. I will definitely give you a proper status another day."

Qingmo's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. Did Xue Yuanzhi think she was a fool? He didn't even want his beloved to become a concubine in his household. Very well.

Without saying a word, Qingmo turned and left, and everyone thought that was the end of it.

Unexpectedly, Qingmo walked up to her son, picked up the whip, and started lashing him.

He muttered to himself, "I'll beat you to death, you useless thing. Your father has found a new lover and doesn't want us, mother and son, anymore. I'll beat you to death, you little beast. It's all because you're so useless."

She whipped Xiao Huai Ren until he rolled on the ground, crying and screaming incessantly, showing no mercy. An uninformed person might have thought she was his stepmother.

Xue Yuanzhi was shocked to see this and rushed over to protect his son, angrily saying, "Madam, how can you treat the child like this? What has he done wrong?"

Qingmo sneered: "Hmph, his mistake was being reborn as your son. Since you want to divorce your wife, then my son and I might as well not live today."

After saying that, he looked at Xue Yuanzhi with icy eyes.

Seeing this, the official quickly tried to smooth things over: "General Xue, let's not make a scene any further, it will damage our reputation."

Xue Yuanzhi held the weeping little Huai Ren in his arms, his heart filled with anger towards Qingmo, that poisonous woman.

At this moment, Qingmo lashed Xue Yuanzhi with her whip, sending sparks and lightning flying. The father and son fought like a whirlwind, and even if outsiders wanted to intervene, they couldn't.

After all, this was a family matter. No one hit anyone else, the officials didn't make a move, and Han Feizhi didn't make a move either. He enjoyed watching this spectacle. This woman was extremely interesting.

"Madam, stop! Stop! You vicious woman, I'm going to divorce you! Stop now!"

The father and son were beaten so badly they ran away with their heads in their hands, with special attention paid to Xue Yuanzhi, whose skin was torn and blood soaked through his clothes.

"Divorce me? Fine, you really are a heartless scoundrel, favoring your concubine over your wife. Even if I have to take this to the Emperor today, I will ask him to decide whether winning a battle means you can abandon your wife and children."

While talking, her hands never stopped moving; to pause even for a moment would be disrespectful to her skills.

Xue Yuanzhi was supposed to be a general, but he's utterly useless. He was beaten so badly by his wife that he couldn't even fight back. Look at him, what face does he have left? Ha!

Some of Xue Yuanzhi's men wanted to rush up to save people, but they didn't dare to actually use their knives.

After smoking for a while, they were exhausted and sweating profusely. The father and son lay on the ground, half-dead.

Qingmo put away the whip, her face beaming with smiles, and said to the people around her, "Hurry up and take your general to the clinic. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of everyone today, General Han. I will definitely come to apologize another day."

As he spoke, he slightly waved his hand at Han Feizhi, gave Xiao Taohong a wink, and the little trumpet continued to play, tossing wedding candies to the onlookers.

Ignoring Liu Ruyan's resistance, he had her put in a sedan chair and happily drove her back to his mansion, leaving the father and son behind.

Before getting into the carriage, she turned back to look at Han Feizhi and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Han Feizhi watched Qingmo's departing figure with a complicated expression. This lady is so reckless, but he likes her.
