After sharing a body with her husband

Hongzhu and Lüying were humble, saying, "Madam, please feel free to ask us anything. We will tell you anything that we know."

Shang Lingjun's smile widened; the servants sent by Old Madam Wei must be extremely disciplined.

She feels at ease using it.

Last night, Mother Liang was still terrified. She never expected that this Lady Shang would become Seventh Master's wife, and that she would be assigned to serve Lady Shang.

She thought to herself, this young lady Shang looks like a delicate and frail girl, but she managed to coax Old Madam Wei into arranging a marriage for her with just a few words.

They specifically targeted Seventh Master, which shows they have some tricks up their sleeves.

Although Seventh Master is in a coma, his status is still there. Being Seventh Master's wife means enjoying endless wealth and luxury in the future. She won't be at a disadvantage.

Since the old lady is indulging her, she should just focus on serving Seventh Master and this delicate new wife.

Thinking of this, Mother Liang carried the washbasin over and said softly:

"Madam, let this old servant help you wash your face."

Shang Lingjun wore a maple-colored red dress, her hair styled in a double-bun style by Liang Mama, with a pearl and jade hairpin inserted in her hair, and exquisite coral earrings hanging from her ears, her lips a touch of red.

She is charming and bright, and also beautiful and captivating.

The gauze wrapped around her forehead did not obscure her beauty; instead, it made her appear even more pitiful, evoking feelings of tenderness in people.

Looking in the bronze mirror, Shang Lingjun put down her lip rouge and smiled.

"Today is a joyous occasion, wearing red is just right."

What Shang Lingjun saw was also Huo Chuan's perspective.

Huo Chuan looked at the beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, intending to make a casual joke, but he was momentarily lost in thought.

【Ati, if the third branch of the family causes you trouble later, just give me your body, and I'll beat them up for you.】

She was already his wife in name only.

Such a fine woman, married into the Xie family only to be betrayed, and then remarried to a comatose paralyzed man. The Xie family has truly wronged her...

Huo Chuan felt guilty towards her.

Shang Yaojun: [……]

He's getting more and more used to calling her "Ati" now.

"Chuan Chuan, you're so kind. Don't worry, this is the Xie family's residence after all. They won't openly cause me trouble."

Furthermore, I haven't practiced martial arts, so I shouldn't reveal too much. If I ever need help in the future, I'll definitely ask Chuan Chuan for assistance.

Shang Lingjun spoke softly and sweetly, causing ripples to spread across Huo Chuan's heart, which quickly disappeared.

【Um. 】

Huo Chuan gave a short "hmm," afraid of revealing even the slightest emotion and letting Shang Lingjun notice something amiss.

Shang Lingjun gently rubbed her wrist. Although Huo Chuan could control her body to hit people, he hadn't given her a body made of steel. Now, her wrist was aching slightly.

But she didn't say it.

She had already decided that since she was now sharing a body with this wandering ghost named Huo Chuan, she should try to get along with him as much as possible.

A male soul with superb martial arts skills will definitely be useful in many ways in the future. In any case, she has control over the body, so she is not worried about it being taken away.

Perhaps, he could also be of some help with the important matter of having offspring...

……

After a simple meal, Shang Lingjun went directly to the Rongfu Pavilion of Old Madam Wei to wait for the elders to open the ancestral hall and revise the family genealogy.

Besides Li from the fourth branch, there is also Murong, the eldest sister-in-law of the first branch. Now, she is the matriarch of the Xie family and in charge of managing the household affairs.

"Did Mother Liang tell you all the rules for entering the ancestral hall?" Old Madam Wei asked.

Lord Shang Ling bowed.

"Reporting to Mother-in-law, I already mentioned it on the way here."

Murong smiled dignifiedly.

"Lingjun, if you need anything, or if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come to Cuihua Courtyard and talk to your sister-in-law."

Shang Lingjun nodded in agreement.

Li, from the fourth wife's family, was all smiles, her eyes practically closed.

"Good sister, whenever you have free time, come and sit in your fourth sister-in-law's room!"

She had thought that this young girl would suffer a terrible fate after exposing the scandalous affair of the third wife.

Unexpectedly, she was quite capable, managing to catch the eye of the old lady and transform herself into the seventh son's wife.

The seventh son was the apple of Old Madam Wei's eye, and with Shang Lingjun becoming his wife, his status naturally rose accordingly, becoming incomparable to what it once was.

Regardless, it was thanks to her that she was able to crush the third wife's family so thoroughly!

Thinking of this, Li's smile widened.

Old Madam Wei glanced at her, her gaze as cold as an icy pool, and without uttering a word, she immediately made it hard for Madam Li to breathe.

She shrank back, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Old Madam Wei calmly withdrew her gaze. "We'll talk about your matter later."

Li stammered in agreement, feeling guilty as she said:

"It was my daughter-in-law who was reckless; I meant well but things went wrong."

She knew her mother-in-law would definitely settle scores later.

In fact, Madam Li had made preparations long ago, but she had to bring outsiders to catch Xie Zhaoqing in adultery in order to crush the third branch of the family in one fell swoop and leave them with no power to recover.

Although this move is risky, the chances of success are high, and she will accept the punishment even if Old Madam Wei wants to punish her.

However, she would never admit it and would always find a way to argue her way out of it.

Shang Lingjun lowered her brows, only feigning obedience, and remained silent.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside, and Madam Qu rushed into the courtyard.

"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law..."

After greeting Old Madam Wei and Madam Murong in turn, Madam Qu's eyes lingered on Madam Li like a venomous snake; she could almost grind her teeth to dust.

"Fourth sister-in-law has the nerve to say she's 'kind-hearted'? I think you're doing it on purpose!"

Li's expression immediately changed. This Qu family member had come aggressively; they were here to settle scores with her!

Even though Madam Qu had come to demand an explanation, Madam Li wasn't afraid. She pursed her lips.

"Third Sister-in-law, what are you saying? That's really awful."

Qu was indignant.

"Stop pretending! In front of your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, dare you say you didn't deliberately borrow people from the Marquis's mansion? The Xie family has so many servants you can't command, why would you let outsiders into the backyard?!"

Li feigned surprise, acting as if she had been wronged.

"How could this be, Third Sister-in-law? Yesterday, Lingjun went to the front yard for help. As Qingge'er's aunt, I was heartbroken. I rushed to rescue her without even hearing what she was saying. Perhaps Third Sister-in-law Sheng was also eager to help, so a whole group of people went!"

"Who could have known that Qing-ge'er wasn't beaten, but rather had an affair? And with a man, no less! That's really... oh my, I'm afraid I'll get a sty!"

Li covered her face with her handkerchief in disgust and muttered:

"I meant well but things went wrong..."

"you!"

Mrs. Qu was so angry that she almost fainted; her whole body trembled with rage.

"If it weren't for you...you..."

Li, with her quick wit, retorted:

"Third sister-in-law, don't just try to shift the blame onto others. Even if no outsiders saw it, it's a fact that your son had an affair on his wedding night!"
