After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Everyone was shocked by Wang's words. The second master was the first to react and immediately scolded Wang, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense. If I'm talking nonsense, then tell me, where does all that money go every day, and why do you come home so late every day?"

At this moment, Wang no longer cared about appearances; she could not accept that her husband had become a gambler.

The group, having regained their senses, realized that Wang's guess was impossible, since they had just figured out the Second Master's whereabouts.

"Uh, sister-in-law, calm down. As far as I know, my second brother really didn't gamble!"

Calling her "brother" and "sister-in-law" really made Lin feel extremely uncomfortable. Although their actual ages were not much different, she had gradually gotten used to being a sixteen-year-old.

"How did you know?" Wang asked after a pause.

"It's me. You've come to beg me, so I have to know what happened! I sent someone to inquire, and it turns out the second son really didn't gamble." The old lady came to Lin Hao's rescue.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for you to come to me; I would have taught the second brother a lesson long ago!"

“Mother is right, how could I dare to gamble! Even the ancestral laws wouldn’t forgive me!” The second master quickly echoed, proving his innocence.

Then, looking at Wang Shi with a face full of indignation, he scolded, "What have you been thinking about all day? Why don't you say goodbye to your mother and go home?"

Having said that, he tried to pull her back. After taking a couple of steps, Wang suddenly realized what he meant, pulled her hand away, and said, "Since you didn't gamble, where did your money go?"

The second master was surprised that she still remembered this matter, and for a moment he was at a loss as to how to deal with it.

Seeing his expression, Madam Wang became even more certain that he was guilty and pressed him for an answer: "Tell me, I don't believe that any poetry club gathering costs so much money!"

Having shut her up completely, the second master decided to throw caution to the wind and frankly said, "I was just out shopping with a friend, so what?"

Wang was startled by his shout, then realized what kind of place it was that cost so much for a casual stroll, and immediately pounced on him like a madwoman.

"You heartless bastard, you actually went to a brothel! How could you do this to me?"

In her frenzy, her strength gradually spiraled out of control. The second master was punched several times, his face bruised, and in pain, he instinctively pushed her away.

Wang lost her balance and stumbled backward a few steps before falling. By sheer coincidence, her waist was bumped by the corner of the table, and she immediately froze, unable to move.

No one expected Wang to suddenly lose control, and by the time they realized what was happening, the situation had already deteriorated to this extent.

For a moment, he couldn't care less about settling the lawsuit and hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor.

Lin Hao helped to support Wang Shi, but they could only hear her crying out in pain. They didn't know how badly she was injured, so none of them dared to use too much force.

They froze there, but Lin Hao steeled himself and said to Wang Shi, "Sister-in-law, I know you're in pain, but please bear with it and don't exert yourself. We'll help you up; otherwise, we can't go to the doctor like this!"

Wang knew she was telling the truth, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it, but sweat and tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.

With the help of several people, they lifted her up and placed her on the soft couch at the back of the hall. Lin Hao looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and couldn't help but feel worried for her.

During this time, Wang's cries were so loud that they sent shivers down the spines of those who heard them.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived quickly. After examining her, he determined that Ms. Wang had twisted her back and needed to rest in bed for at least half a month.

Upon hearing this, Wang was even more heartbroken, as if the pain in her waist had intensified.

After seeing the doctor off, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the second wife and her husband, I can't help but feel a headache coming on. What kind of mess is this?!

Originally, they intended to put the matter aside for now, but to their surprise, Wang was willing to endure the pain and insist on getting to the bottom of things.

"Gu Jingnian, let me tell you, with me here, you can forget about bringing those vixens into the house!" Whether it was from pain or anger, Wang's voice had a hint of gritted teeth.

"Miss Yinxue is not some vixen. She was once a good girl from an official family. It's just that she unfortunately ended up in the brothel, but she sold her art, not her body!"

The second master was initially remorseful for accidentally injuring Wang Shi, but upon hearing her repeatedly refer to Miss Yin Xue as a vixen, he became furious.

"What do you mean by 'selling art but not the body'? You're just a lowly slut who seduces men. You've already entered a brothel, so why pretend to be pure and innocent!" Wang said disdainfully.

She didn't believe that frost or snow was as good as he described.

"I won't allow you to talk about Miss Yinxue like that! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" the second master said fiercely to Madam Wang.

"You still want to be rude to me? You hurt my back, and now you want to be even more rude to me?" Wang was even more furious after hearing his words.

"I..." The second master was at a loss for words and could only resort to harsh words.

"In short, it's none of your business who I want to talk to or who I want to spend money on!"

"It's none of my business, but who can? What business is it of that vixen? Even if I did agree, she would still have to kowtow and serve me tea respectfully." Madam Wang wouldn't stand for his attitude.

"You, you, you are simply unreasonable!" The second master was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"I'm being unreasonable. Don't forget, you were the one who begged to marry me." Wang snorted coldly. All these years, she had gone along with him, not to let him cause her trouble.

She did nothing wrong, and even gave him a son. He wanted to take a concubine, but she was a prostitute. No way!

"Why can't you accept Miss Yinxue? She's an excellent woman." Reminded by Madam Wang's words, the Second Master's mind cleared up a bit. He couldn't afford to offend Madam Wang's family, so he had no choice but to soften his attitude.

"Fine, no matter how good she is, she can't enter my door!" Wang said this with great confidence; she disagreed, and he dared not!

Seeing that the couple appeared to have calmed down, the others who had been silent exchanged glances and then left.

"This matter?" Lin Hao asked curiously.

"Don't worry, the second son can't cause any trouble. His wife has a way to deal with him," the old lady said calmly.

Lin Hao looked at Gu Liunian and saw that he nodded slightly, so she knew that the old lady was right and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there is another matter at hand: "Mother, it might be difficult to move my sister-in-law in this state!"

"That's right, let her stay here with me for now! If we ask her to move now, what if her injuries worsen? It would make me seem heartless!"

"Perfect timing! The second son's courtyard is still empty, so let him stay there! His wife is injured, so we need to look after her!"

Lin Hao's eyes lit up!
