The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Once trapped, you never know which turtle is the prey.

The four of them entered the Hua family's living room together, when suddenly Gu Ruinian and the Second Young Master Lian rushed out.

"Miss Lian." Gu Ruinian wanted to step forward and help Lian Hengruo.

Since today was the family banquet hosted by the stepmother, Lian Hengruo was dressed exceptionally beautifully, and in Gu Ruinian's eyes, she was no less stunning than Lu Zhaozhao.

"Where are you touching with your filthy hands?" Lian Hengruo slapped Gu Ruinian's hand away, her cold eyes filled with disgust.

Gu Ruinian's expression changed drastically.

The second young master chuckled and said, "Little sister, this is the husband I've found for you. Don't you like him?"

Lian Heng even wanted to kill the Second Young Master Lian.

The second young master chuckled and then turned to Gu Ruinian, saying, "You'll be my second sister's husband from now on, so you'll be grateful to me for the rest of your life."

Gu Ruinian readily agreed, saying, "Second Brother, I understand."

He thought to himself, "I wonder why the villain died from talking too much. Why did he say so much? I should hurry up and let him and Lian Hengruo get together."

He wanted to step forward again to support Lian Hengruo.

At this moment, an accident occurred. Gu Taohua, who was being supported by Xu Zaohua, suddenly regained her strength and kicked Gu Ruinian away.

This sudden turn of events caught Xu Zaohua, Ruyun, and the Second Young Master Lian completely off guard.

Gu Taohua turned around, grabbed Xu Zaohua's hair, and pushed her to the ground.

Ruyun tried to run away, but Lian Hengruo slapped her so hard she was dizzy. Suddenly, Lian Hengruo's maid Ruhua appeared with an old woman, picked up a rope, tied Ruyun up, stuffed a cloth in her mouth, and threw her into the side room.

Gu Taohua didn't let the Second Young Master Lian off the hook either, kicking him in the lower abdomen.

The pain didn't stop even after the root was severed; the Second Young Master was curled up in agony. Lian Hengruo picked up a vase and was about to smash it over the Second Young Master's head.

"Hengruo, don't be impulsive. What if you kill him?" Gu Taohua advised.

Lian Hengruo smiled, which terrified the Second Young Master Lian. Every time his second sister smiled like that, he and his two brothers would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, I've trained, I won't kill him." Lian Hengruo smashed the vase hard on the Second Young Master Lian's head.

The Second Young Master let out a muffled groan and fainted, his blood staining the ground.

It doesn't matter if they kill him, just pin it on Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua were terrified.

Gu Taohua rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight. Since she followed her mother onto the right path, she hadn't hit anyone in a year, and her hands were itching to get back at it. Now that these two beasts had run into her hands, how could she let them go?

Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua were terrified by Gu Taohua.

"You dare to scheme against me? Your medicine won't work on me." Gu Taohua slapped Xu Zaohua across the face.

Xu Zaohua felt completely dizzy and disoriented.

That brat, her strength is still so great. Before Xu Zaohua could beg for mercy, Gu Taohua slapped her again.

Gu Taohua quickly released Xu Zaohua; compared to Xu Zaohua, Gu Ruinian deserved to be hit more.

"Sister Peach Blossom"

Before Gu Ruinian could finish speaking, Gu Taohua grabbed him and started hitting him with both hands, beating him until he looked like he had just walked on the brink of death.

Lian Hengruo was dumbfounded.

She knew Gu Taohua was fierce, but she didn't expect her to be this fierce. Inspired by Gu Taohua's spirit, she went up and kicked Gu Ruinian a few times.

"Miss, let me do it, I'm strong." Lian Hengruo's wet nurse rushed up and kicked Gu Ruinian hard. What kind of scoundrel dared to plot against the young lady? Beating him to death would be too lenient.

But you can't kill him, otherwise how can you continue acting?

Gu Ruinian's wailing sounded like he was being boiled in a vat of oil in hell.

Gu Taohua dragged Xu Zaohua to Gu Ruinian's side, grabbed Xu Zaohua's hand and scratched Gu Ruinian's face several times, leaving it covered in scratches.

After capturing Gu Ruinian, Gu Taohua stripped Xu Zaohua of her outer garment and, incidentally, also pulled down Gu Ruinian's pants.

Gu Taohua glanced between Gu Ruinian's legs, and Gu Ruinian was terrified. "Let's not castrate him. If we do, my grandfather will be furious. I don't want my third brother to be in mourning," Gu Taohua said.

It would be a loss if it delayed the exam.

Gu Taohua knocked Gu Ruinian unconscious with a single punch.

Lian Hengruo: "."

If Lian Heng knew what Gu Taohua was doing, she didn't stop her. In fact, she helped pull Gu Ruinian to Xu Zaohua's side and intertwined their legs.

They were all women, and they didn't want to use this method against Xu Zaohua, but did Xu Zaohua ever consider that they were also women when she plotted against them?

It's simply a matter of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

After doing all this, Gu Taohua and Lian Hengruo, accompanied by Ruhua and the wet nurse, came to the courtyard.

"You, go and tell Mother to come to the courtyard. Tell her that a thief has broken into her room," Lian Hengruo said, pointing to a maid who was peeking out to gather information.

She recognized the maid; she was a cleaning maid at Dexin Garden and also Ruyun's cousin.

"Yes, Second Miss." The maid left.

This play is not only for the ladies to see, but I'm afraid all the ladies and young women at the banquet will want to come and watch it.

She didn't believe that the madam was unaware of her second brother's plans. Since her second brother was so troublesome, she would let him make a name for himself once again.

"Ruhua, go tell my mother to bring the master to see the play."

"Yes."

The answer was as clear and resounding as a painting.

Soon, surrounded by the crowd, Madam Hua arrived at Dexin Garden.

Seeing Lian Hengruo and Gu Taohua standing peacefully in the courtyard, I was momentarily stunned.

Tong Huaqiong was relieved to see that Gu Taohua seemed unharmed.

This girl must have used a lot of force; her hands are all red.

She wanted to see how badly Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua were beaten by Gu Taohua.

"What's wrong."

When Hua saw that Lian Heng was standing there unharmed, she wanted to take her people back.

With so many ladies following her, how could she possibly turn back?

"Mother, I went into your room to change my clothes and saw that a thief had broken in," Lian Hengruo said in a panic.

Hua brought so many people to Dexin Garden just to force her to marry Zheng Er Gongzi. Didn't she think about her reputation?
"I thought it was something serious. You must have misread it." Madam Hua was trying to slip away unnoticed.

Lian Hengruo said, "Mother, I can't say for sure whether they were thieves or not. I think they were thieves. If it were someone else, how could they knock my second brother unconscious? They must have been caught stealing by my second brother and then decided to kill him to cover their tracks. I saw my second brother covered in blood and I ran out in fright."

As Lian Hengruo spoke, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she looked terrified.

The second young master was Hua's most beloved son; otherwise, she wouldn't have spoiled him so much.

Hearing that her son had been knocked to the ground and was bleeding profusely, she was completely disoriented.

He rushed into the house without hesitation.

The ladies and young women immediately knew there was more to the story. It wasn't their business, but who could resist the urge to gossip?

Seeing Tong Huaqiong and Han Shi stride ahead, they followed suit.

Since even the magistrate's mother has come to eat melons, why can't they?

"Cheng-ge'er, Cheng-ge'er, what's wrong? Quick, call a doctor!"

When Ms. Hua opened the door, she saw blood everywhere and her son lying in a pool of blood. She was terrified.

If it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have almost collapsed into the blood. (End of Chapter)
