After sharing a body with her husband

A servant rushed over and said that Xiao Jing had finished his discussion and invited the two of them to go home together.

Madam Xiao was so angry that she stormed off. Not only did she fail to teach Shang Lingjun a lesson today, but she also got so angry that her heart ached.

Pei Zhiying was overjoyed, guessing that Xiao Jing had succeeded, and the weight on her heart was finally lifted.

As long as her son is alright, everything is fine.

As for Ati, she's just being childish for a moment; a little more effort to coax her will solve the problem.

Pei Zhiying hurriedly slipped a bracelet into Shang Lingjun's hand, saying only:

"I came in a hurry today, but I will make it up to you properly in the future."

After saying that, she hurriedly left.

After they left, Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) crossed his legs, casually tossed the bracelet aside, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound, shattering into pieces.

"What kind of junk did you shove into my hands?"

Liang's mother and Qingzhi looked at each other without saying a word.

It seems that Madam harbors considerable resentment towards the Xiao family, as her words are so sharp. After all, they are elders, yet she shows them no respect whatsoever.

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) stood up.

"Go see your mother-in-law..."

She hesitated before speaking, realizing that the term "mother-in-law" felt very unfamiliar.

Huo Chuan was genuinely curious about how Xiao Jing could possibly resolve the situation.

……

Over there, Old Madam Xiao walked hurriedly, her old face long and droopy.

Since the Xie family's servants led the way all the way out of the mansion, the two of them walked without speaking until they left the Xie family mansion and got into the carriage, at which point they began to talk.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was quite angry, Pei Zhiying was also in a dilemma. She regretted bringing her along.

She couldn't help much; all she did was get angry and lose her temper.

"Mother-in-law, the general said that we are here to appease Ati, not to confront her and demand an explanation."

Pei Zhiying said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xiao immediately glared.

"Where did I confront her? I only said a few words, and she was the one who was sharp-tongued, every word she said was sarcastic and cutting. Can't you hear the sarcasm in her tone?"

Pei Zhiying didn't realize it at first, but now she's getting it.

"The child might have been traumatized, but anyway, A-Jing is fine now, there's plenty of time later..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Old Madam Xiao.

"That wretched girl has no manners whatsoever. She even dares to talk back to her elders. So what if she married into a wealthy family? If she's so bold, then she should never come back to her parents' home again!"

Pei Zhiying didn't know what to say. Ati had indeed acted quite rudely today, but she still had to go back to her parents' home.

There's a layer of gratitude for saving my life between us. If we break off the relationship, how awful would it sound if word got out?

I just hope she reflects on her mistakes afterward and corrects them.

"That silly girl, Ati, the Xie family wasn't really compensating her; they were clearly making it up to outsiders. Look at how grateful she is... sigh..."

Pei Zhiying thought that she should go back and have a good talk with the general, and that they should give Shang Lingjun some 'compensation'.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Shang family had saved A-Jing's life, and it was a life-for-life exchange. Marrying the daughter of their savior to Xiao-Huan would be extremely disgraceful.

Otherwise, once the reputation of repaying kindness with enmity spreads, how will the Xiao family have any face left?

Pei Zhiying grew increasingly agitated, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Repaying kindness, repaying kindness, when will this repayment ever end?"

Madam Xiao was also very troubled, but she felt relieved when she thought that A-Jing had resolved the matter smoothly.

"By the way, where's Jing? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

……

At that time, Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) bumped into Xiao Jing on his way to see Old Madam Wei.

To be precise, it was Xiao Jing who was about to leave, but when he saw Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan), he turned back and stopped her.

"Ati, I know you still resent me. Believe it or not, I did this for your own good. I really don't know how to explain it to you..."

Xiao Jing gazed at Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan), a hint of indescribable pain flashing across his eyes.

Meeting Shang Lingjun's (Huo Chuan's) mocking gaze, Xiao Jing averted his eyes, took a deep breath, and said again:

"It's alright if you don't understand, but the idea of ​​a marriage exchange is absolutely unacceptable. If you're willing, I'll arrange for you to get a divorce."

As if afraid that Shang Lingjun would disagree, he then added:

"Don't worry about the future. I can take you as a concubine for now. Even though it's a concubine, it's much better than you marrying a useless person and being constantly hindered in the Xie family!"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan)'s face darkened instantly, and he scoffed in disbelief.

"You son of a bitch, who are you calling a cripple?"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) looked around, as if searching for something.

Xiao Jing frowned.

"Ati, I won't allow you to swear."

He recalled Shang Lingjun's past infatuation and admiration for him, and said with considerable confidence:

"I know how you feel about me. That useless Xie Yan'an probably doesn't have many years left to live, and you certainly don't want to live a life of widowhood. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."

Seeing that Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) remained silent, Xiao Jing smiled gently.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy you can't speak?"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan)'s face twisted slightly with anger; he even let out a laugh, but his eyes held a chilling, icy glint.

"Taking a concubine, is that it?"

He forced those words out through gritted teeth, clearly extremely angry.

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) finally found a shovel that a servant hadn't had time to take away by the flowerbed not far away. He quickly walked over, picked up the shovel, and came back.

Because it was too dark, Xiao Jing couldn't see clearly what Shang Lingjun was holding in her hand.

"Ati, you..."

boom!

What awaited Xiao Jing was an iron shovel coming straight at him.

Swish!

Two streams of bright red blood gushed out from his nose, and Xiao Jing, clutching his nose, stumbled and fell into the flowerbed in a sorry state.

But Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) chased after him and hit him.

"I'll let you take a concubine, I'll let you take one..."

"You useless piece of trash... I'll teach you to be useless!"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) gave Xiao Jing a sound beating, sending him running away with his head in his hands. Xiao Jing tried to grab the iron shovel, but Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) nimbly dodged him again and kicked him in the face.

Xiao Jing's nose was already injured, and the kick made him scream in pain.

"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him..."

"Ati, I know you hate me because of love, but I really can't give you love. I can only give you a status. Think it over carefully... Ah!"

Xiao Jing let out another scream.

Huo Chuan beat him even harder.

Liang's mother and the others watched from afar, their expressions tightening with each of Shang Lingjun's movements.

"Madam is ruthless."

"Madam, your martial arts are truly excellent."

Liang's mother and Qing spoke at the same time.

They exchanged a glance and looked over again, afraid of missing anything.

Liang's mother couldn't help but mutter to herself,

"I originally thought that Madam was a gentle and reserved person, but I didn't expect her to be so bold and unconventional. She does everything without following the rules, which is quite similar to Seventh Master."

She is truly as still as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit.

Qingzhi covered her mouth and laughed, "No wonder it's fate that we can be husband and wife."

boom!

Finally, Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) smashed an iron shovel on Xiao Jing's head, knocking him unconscious.

"Someone, throw him out!"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) looked down at Xiao Jing, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his slightly narrowed black eyes exuding arrogance.

He threw down the iron shovel, turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Jing dared to say he would help Shang Lingjun get a divorce, and he had a confident expression on his face. It seems he really succeeded.

What exactly did Xiao Jing say to Old Madam Wei?

Huo Chuan was quite curious.
