On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

Even before entering the room, Luo Qingyu had already imagined the worst-case scenario.

My younger sister will likely be huddled in a corner, disheveled, with vacant eyes and bruises all over her body, just like I was back then.

However, the scene inside the room stunned her.

The room was very clean and tidy, with bright windows and spotless furniture. On the round table were several plates of delicate pastries and a pot of steaming tea.

The younger sister was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze when she heard the shout and was startled.

"Sister?" Luo Qingwan saw her sister with disheveled hair and a panicked expression, so she quickly ran over barefoot. "Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

Luo Qingyu grabbed her sister's shoulder and looked her up and down.

The younger sister's yellow dress was intact, her hair was neatly combed, there were no tear stains on her face, and there was no sign of being persecuted.

How is that possible?

Lin Yi would never let go of such a beautiful younger sister.

"Wan'er, what did that beast do to you?" Luo Qingyu's voice trembled. "Did he bully you? Tell your sister! Tell your sister now!"

Luo Qingwan was terrified by her appearance.

She had never seen her sister so out of control.

In her memory, her sister was always so proud, always so composed, and always in control.

"Sister, I'm fine, I'm really fine..." Luo Qingwan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Brother-in-law didn't do anything to me."

"Impossible!" Luo Qingyu screamed, her voice shrill. "He's a devil! How could he let you go? Did he threaten you? To stop you from telling me? Wan'er, don't be afraid, your sister is here. Tell your sister everything!"

As she spoke, she began to examine Luo Qingwan's body.

He even pulled open his sister's collar to see if there were any marks on her neck; then he lifted her skirt to see if there were any injuries on her legs.

"Sister! What are you doing?!" Luo Qingwan was hurt and frightened by what she was doing, and tried desperately to break free. "Sister, please don't do this, I'm really fine! You're hurting me!"

"You have to let me see!" Luo Qingyu stubbornly believed that her sister was lying to her.

"No, sis!"

The two sisters started pulling at each other inside the house, and Xiuzhu and the two maids following behind were dumbfounded, none of them daring to step forward.

"Sister! Calm down!" Luo Qingwan cried out anxiously, "He really didn't touch me! Last night he threw me on the bed, gave me a few warnings, told me to stay put and not to try anything funny, and then he left!"

Luo Qingwan recounted everything that happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyu's grip tightened even more instead of loosening. "He...he really didn't touch you?"

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Luo Qingwan nodded repeatedly: "Really!"

How could that be...?

Luo Qingyu did not believe it.

In her eyes, Lin Yi was a devil, a lecher. How could he be unmoved by Wan'er's delicate and beautiful body? It was illogical.

unless……

"I understand..." Luo Qingyu said uncharacteristically, her eyes shining brightly, "He must have fallen for you."

"Huh?" Luo Qingwan was stunned by her nonsensical words. "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? He has never seen me before."

By the end, Luo Qingwan's voice was trembling with tears.

Being liked by Lin Yi, how could that be a good thing?

However, Luo Qingyu looked at him with excitement, as if he had grasped at a lifeline.

"Why is it impossible? Wan'er, think about it carefully! Why doesn't he touch you? He even torments me, his wife in name, without any mercy, so why is he showing you any leniency?"

"I...I don't know either..." Luo Qingwan was speechless when asked, and could only keep shaking her head.

"You don't know, but I do!" Luo Qingyu's voice suddenly rose. "He's taken a liking to you! That's why he can't bear to touch you, wanting you to willingly submit to him!"

The more Luo Qingyu thought about it, the more likely this was to be true.

Because Lin Yi used to be like this; he could endure any humiliation to get what he wanted, and he could even kneel down in the street to get it.

Now he wants to use the same trick again, attempting to get Wan'er in the same way!

That must be it!

"Wan'er, my dear sister!" Luo Qingyu suddenly softened, cupping her sister's face in her hands, her eyes full of allure. "Don't be afraid, this is an opportunity that God has given to our Luo family!"

"Opportunity?" Luo Qingwan still didn't understand.

Is being liked by Lin Yi a chance? She doesn't think so.

My brother-in-law is really terrifying.

"Are you crazy, sister!" Luo Qingyu's eyes shone with an alarming light. "We can use Lin Yi's feelings for you to avenge our parents! To avenge our Luo family!"

revenge?

It would have been better if these two words hadn't been mentioned, because once they were, she would have remembered the scene from last night where her father was kneeling on the ground begging and pleading, and her mother was being held in that fat man's arms and humiliated at will.

There were also the stolen belongings from the house, and the various forms of torture my sister suffered.

But... revenge isn't that easy.

"Sister, he, he's so powerful, even the emperor can't do anything to him, the two of us..." Luo Qingwan's voice was full of helplessness.

However, Luo Qingyu sneered, as if she had thought of a particularly brilliant idea. "Just because the emperor can't do anything to him doesn't mean we can't. Men are all beasts who think with their lower bodies! So many heroes and great men in history have to obediently fall at our feet."

"Wan'er, don't be fooled by Lin Yi's politeness now; he's a beast at heart. He might refrain from touching you today because he likes you, but tomorrow he could destroy you because he can't have you! So we can't just sit here and wait to be killed; we have to take the initiative!"

Luo Qingwan was terrified, yet she also felt that her sister's words made sense.

"So what should we do?"

"Listen to your sister, starting today, you will serve him. You are his sister-in-law, he certainly won't refuse. Remember, you must be completely obedient to him, make him feel that you are more considerate and sensible than the maids in the mansion, and gradually make him trust you, depend on you, until he can't live without you!"

"Huh?! Sister, you want me to... to please him?" Luo Qingwan exclaimed in surprise, extremely unwilling.

Not to mention that she's a virgin who hasn't even had a boyfriend yet, her social status also prevents her from doing so. She's the second daughter of an official's family, not a maid or servant; how could she possibly serve someone personally?

"It's not about flattering him, it's about misleading him and lowering his guard! Listen, Wan'er, this is our only chance! You're responsible for stalling him in the manor, keeping him calm, and buying time for your sister. Your sister will find a way to contact A-Jin and everyone outside who can help us! As long as we work together from the inside and outside, we'll definitely be able to bring him down!"

Luo Qingyu could see her sister's reluctance, so she quickly grabbed her hand and gave her another strong dose of medicine.

"Wan'er, have you forgotten how he ransacked our house! How he humiliated our parents! And your sister me..." Luo Qingyu ripped open her collar, revealing the hickeys and bruises on her neck and shoulders that had not yet completely faded.

"Look at these! This is what that beast left behind! He pinned me to the bed, humiliating and torturing me like a dog! He forced me to do the most despicable and shameless things! Don't you want to avenge your sister?!"

Looking at the shocking wounds on her sister's body, Luo Qingwan could no longer control her emotions, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"sister……"

"Wan'er, please promise your sister, okay?" Luo Qingyu hugged her younger sister, as if pleading, "Only you can help your sister, only you can help our Luo family!"

Luo Qingwan cried and trembled in her sister's arms.

On one side is her devilish brother-in-law, and on the other side are her family members who have suffered endless humiliation.

What other choice could she make?

After a long while, she nodded emphatically.

"Okay, sis, I'll do as you say."

"Good sister!" Luo Qingyu wiped away her sister's tears, then tidied her disheveled clothes and hair. In the end, she shook her head. "This won't do. You look too haggard. Come on, let's go to your sister's room. I'll do your makeup. You'll look beautiful when you go to see Lin Yi. He'll definitely like that."
