After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

As soon as he finished speaking, the candlelight in the bedroom seemed to flicker, and the indistinct figure appeared to rise and fall.

"But did you see it clearly?"

Her voice remained cold and indifferent, revealing no emotion.

Jixiang recalled the scene carefully; it was so thrilling that there was no room for error.

"Yes, absolutely true." Jixiang thought for a moment, then swallowed the words about the second young master being naked.

We must not tarnish the young master's reputation.

After a moment of silence in the room, a soft "Go down" was heard before there was no further news.

Jixiang held the candlestick and continued to keep watch.

Inside the room, Xie Jinglan leaned against the couch, his eyes half-closed, letting the candlelight flicker before his eyes.

They carried the second young master out.

He pondered the words "took up a hand," and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Today, Jiang Yuyue appeared as delicate as a willow in the breeze, but as night fell, her true colors were revealed: a frail woman was able to carry an adult man out.

I wonder what kind of drama will unfold tomorrow.

He turned off the lamp and extinguished the fire, plunging the bedroom into silence.

A dreamless night.

-

At dawn, a noisy farce broke out in front of the Xie family mansion.

During the morning market, people come and go, all stopping in front of Xie's house to gossip and observe.

This is truly rare!

Naked, covered in bruises, and bound in a unique way, it looked exactly like that unspeakable thing.

"You bunch of useless trash, what are you good for? Get me untied right now!"

Xie Jinbo was drugged and woke up from his coma by the cold. When he opened his eyes, he was met with many stares, which made him furious. However, he was tied up tightly.

The onlookers only dared to watch from a distance, not daring to get close, and whispered among themselves.

"The Xie family is of noble birth, so how did their second young master come to be such a dissolute person?"

"The white banners hanging in front of the door indicate that the eldest young master's seven-day mourning period has not yet passed. It's truly a complicated situation!"

"..."

These words drifted over on the wind, and Xie Jinbo's face turned extremely ugly.

In the end, it was Old Madam Xie who came out leaning on her cane, and with a stern face, ordered the crowd of onlookers to leave before the matter was finally settled.

only……

Madam Xie glanced at Xie Jinbo's bare lower body and solemnly instructed, "Summon Doctor Zhang immediately. We must not let anything happen to the second young master!"

Doctor Zhang, who had just left the Xie family home yesterday, rushed over again early this morning.

Seeing this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and examined the situation carefully and cautiously several times.

"The second young master's injuries are so severe that there's no hope of recovery..."

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinbo's face turned bright red, and he wished he could strangle the person who said it.

But every movement aggravated his injury, causing him to gasp and writhe in pain.

Seeing this, Old Madam Xie was both angry and heartbroken. "You shameless brat! You couldn't resist running off to have fun, bringing shame to the Xie family and making yourself look like this! What are we going to do now that the Xie family line is over!"

Xie Jinbo froze at the mention of having no descendants.

A feeling of frustration welled up inside him; his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He didn't go outside last night; instead, he went to his elder brother's courtyard, intending to leave a descendant for the Xie family. But he never expected to be beaten up like this.

Madam Xie rushed over and, seeing her son's injuries, immediately burst into tears.

"Jinbo... my poor child, who on earth has done this to you?!" she cried out in anguish. "Mother, you must seek justice for Jinbo! Holding a funeral in this mansion must be a way to let the outside world know that Jinbo is the only heir left in the Xie family, so they used this insidious trick to cut off the Xie family's future..."

Madam Xie's expression grew increasingly grim, and she exhaled a breath of stale air. "Our Xie family cannot die out. We must invite all the doctors in the city and cure our second son no matter what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion came from outside.

The servant was leading the two of them toward the mansion when they bumped into Old Madam Xie, who was coming out.

Upon seeing who it was, Madam Xie's face lit up with surprise and delight. "Madam Jiang, have you come to visit Yue'er today?"

Jiang's mother, dressed in plain clothes, was somewhat surprised to see the delighted look on Old Madam Xie's face.

"I heard that Yue'er fainted from grief, so I wanted to come and see her more often."

Madam Xie quickly called the two of them inside. Madam Jiang's medical skills were superb; she had even brought people back from the brink of death during childbirth. She was sure she could cure this vital organ as well!

When Madam Jiang stepped into the room and saw what had happened, her expression turned strange.

She coughed lightly and shifted her gaze to her youngest son, Jiang Huanxi, who immediately understood her intention.

“Madam Xie, how about I serve in place of my mother?”

He stepped forward; the young man stood tall and straight, his slender figure already towering over everyone present.

Only then did Madam Xie notice the young man who had been following Madam Jiang. He had been a tiny child when he was young, but before she knew it, he had grown into a handsome young man.

"Alright, this must be Huan Xi! In such a short time, he has grown into such an outstanding young man, surely surpassing his master!"

Jiang Huanxi gave a slight smile, which was taken as an agreement.

Madam Xie dismissed everyone else, leaving only the two of them inside.

Jiang Huanxi coldly watched Xie Jinbo faint again, then reached out and poked a spot on his lower body.

"Ah!" Xie Jinbo was jolted awake by the pain.

Then she rolled her eyes and fainted again.

Jiang Huanxi suddenly laughed. Judging from the location of the bruises, he was certain that it was his sister who did it.

They deliberately hit where it hurts.

This third leg is definitely not going to stand up properly; it's just for show.

It took almost half an incense stick's time for Jiang Huanxi to slowly emerge.

Madam Xie immediately rushed forward, "My son, how...how is he?"

Jiang Huanxi had someone bring him paper and pen, and wrote down a long prescription: "The injury is already this bad, so we can only prescribe some strong tonics to stimulate it. What happens afterward is all up to fate."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Madam Xie quickly thanked her and accepted the gift, completely unaware of the mockery in Jiang Huanxi's eyes.

He did prescribe a tonic, but several of the herbs clashed. After taking this medicine, Xie Jinbo would definitely be able to stay upright for a while.

However, it's the kind that causes severe diarrhea.

-

North courtyard.

When it was fully light, Jiang Yuyue slowly woke up.

After venting my anger at night, I slept incredibly well.

Hearing that her mother had come to visit ahead of time, Jiang Yuyue was surprised for a moment, but she quickly tidied herself up and continued to apply powder to make herself look weak, so as not to be seen by anyone with ulterior motives.

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue looked unwell, Madam Jiang asked with concern, "Yuyue, I see that your complexion is not good, but your blood and energy are sufficient. Is it your heart ailment..."

Jiang Yuyue chuckled and shook her head, "Mother, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Madam Jiang, however, was not as magnanimous as Yue'er. "If you have been wronged, you can tell your mother. Although the Jiang family is just a wealthy merchant family, we will never let you be bullied here."

Jiang Huanxi chimed in, "That Xie Jinbo is usually incredibly lecherous. Now he dares to make a move before the funeral. It would be too lenient for him to cripple him!"

He was hot-tempered as a teenager, and his words were filled with resentment.

"Sister, when did you become so submissive? Before you were even married, that scoundrel repeatedly flaunted himself in front of you. Now he's even bullying you. Why don't you divorce the Xie family?"

Jiang Yuyue felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to his words of defending her.

However, divorce is not so easy.

Madam Jiang frowned and interrupted him, "Nonsense, marriage is not decided by one party alone, this matter should not be mentioned again."
