However, in Mrs. Chu's eyes, Ling Xiaohan's stubbornness is disdain and disrespect for the Chu family, which is the last thing she can bear.

Mrs. Chu's face turned blue with anger: "Ling Xiaohan! I think you are toasting and not eating fine wine! As the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you don't know how to behave, and you don't come back to meet men at night! You have completely ruined our Chu family. Face!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chu raised the whip in her hand and swung it down heavily, as if to beat Ling Xiaohan to death.

Ling Xiaohan clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from crying out.

There were even sneering words from some maids in my ears:

"Tsk tsk tsk! Ling Xiaohan is so courageous, he is already married to First Young Master Chu, yet he still stays out all night!"

"This behavior is really dissolute."

"It's time to fight, Mrs. Chu is not wrong to do this, otherwise she may do such a thing in the future."

"I don't know if she is really pregnant in the future, will it belong to Young Master Chu?"

"It doesn't matter. When she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, Mrs. Chu will drive her away."

"..."

Ling Xiaohan's heart was ashamed.

This Mrs. Chu beat her like this at every turn, whether she can live well until the moment the truth is found out is a question.

Mrs. Chu is too easy to listen to rumors.

She felt like she was going to die here today.

She was holding her breath, and the suffocating pain came little by little, and she was sweating profusely.

Chu Jingyun just came in from the outside and saw this scene, and said coldly: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Only then did Madam Chu stop her movements, but she had whipped her more than ten times in a row just now, and she was already in a better mood: "Yun'er, I'm teaching this dissolute woman who doesn't know how to teach you a lesson for you!"

"Mother, put down the whip." Seeing Ling Xiaohan's pale face, Chu Jingyun couldn't tell what it was like.

Of course he knew the reason why his mother punished Ling Xiaohan like this.

She didn't come home for three days, and it seems that she should just come back now.

This is of course intolerable for the mother.

"Yun'er, if you don't teach her a lesson, she won't know anything wrong." Mrs. Chu looked serious.

"Okay, mother, that's enough, put down the whip!" Chu Jingyun repeated what he said just now.

Only then did Madam Chu put down her whip, but she was still a little unwilling.

She thought that this girl should be beaten to death, and she should be taught a lesson.

But looking at Chu Jingyun with cold eyes, Chu's mother still let everyone disperse, gave Ling Xiaohan a blank look, and left with a whip.

Through the clothes, Chu Jingyun couldn't see the wound on Ling Xiaohan's back, but the blood seeped out through the clothes, this scene was extraordinarily cruel.

Her white clothes were stained with spots of red by the blood, and that color continued to spread.

This scene is really shocking.

"Ling Xiaohan, can you still get up?" Chu Jingyun sat on the wheelchair and reached out to help her.

"I can get up." Ling Xiaohan raised his eyes and glanced at her, his legs were a little weak when he was kneeling on the ground.

But she seemed to have been sucked out of all her strength, and when she moved a little, the wound on her back seemed to be exploded.

The unhealed wound overlapped with the new wound, two completely different pains.

She rested for a while, and then supported her body little by little and walked towards her room. Chu Jingyun wanted to help her but was powerless, her hands in front of her were clenched and tightened.

He slowly pushed the wheelchair and followed her into the room.

"Why didn't you come back sooner?" he asked, frowning.

If I came back earlier, wouldn't I have to suffer from this?

Knowing that the matter between her and her senior brother is being gossiped behind, she still stayed in the mountains for several days. Could it be that things are really what everyone said.

"Chu Jingyun, do you believe me when I said that I broke my leg on the mountain? The reason why I didn't come back is because I can't come back." Ling Xiaohan whispered.

"But..." Chu Jingyun hesitated.

Seeing his hesitation, Ling Xiaohan couldn't help sneering: "It seems that you don't believe me either. Since you don't believe me, why did you help me just now? Why don't you watch your mother ruthlessly replace you?" Teach me."

Chu Jingyun didn't know what to say, he frowned tightly, his expression awe-inspiring.

After she left that day, he couldn't contact her and felt uneasy all the time. He didn't know what she was doing on the mountain, but just thinking of her staying alone with her senior brother made him feel uncomfortable.

"Forget it, Chu Jingyun, you probably also suspect me, suspect that I'm the kind of woman who can't get along with men, right." Ling Xiaohan only felt chills.

She ran around looking for medicinal materials for his leg injury, but he couldn't believe her innocence at all.

Is this Chu Jingyun as confused as Mrs. Chu?
"Ling Xiaohan, I..."

"Okay, don't say it, anyway, I have already learned my lesson, believe it or not!"

Chu Jingyun was speechless: "..."

night.

After Ling Xiaohan took a shower, he didn't sleep with him, but lay down on the sofa by himself.

She hadn't spoken a word to him since he had offended her by not believing her just now.

He knew she was angry.

Not long after, Ling Xiaohan's little snoring came, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Chu Jingyun was so upset that he couldn't sleep.

She used to sleep beside him, but today she didn't, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to apply medicine to her wound, but he didn't know how to open it. She couldn't reach it by herself, but he didn't ask him to apply medicine to her like before.

Did she just ignore her wound like this?
Chu Jingyun didn't know what he was thinking, anyway, he couldn't bear it in the end, so he got up from the bed with difficulty, groped hard to get on the wheelchair, and quietly went to her medicine bag to get the last treatment for whiplash. and then took the medicine and pushed the wheelchair to the sofa a little bit.

She slept soundly, and her little snoring was very rhythmic.

Afraid of alarming her, he carefully opened the medicine box, first applied a little ointment on his fingertips, and then gently lifted the quilt she was covering with his other hand.

Seeing the wound on her back shocked him, it was terrifying.

But when he thought of how calm she was like water except for a moment when her face was a little ugly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This girl is often stronger than he imagined.

Suddenly, he caught sight of the big bag of herbs she put aside again, and he felt an unspeakable guilt suddenly in his heart, shouldn't he not believe her?
He tried his best not to disturb her, and applied medicine to the wound on her back bit by bit.

She was probably tired, sleeping deeply, and snoring all the time, but she didn't notice anything.

The next morning.

Ling Xiaohan smelled the familiar smell of medicine emanating from his body, and immediately looked towards the bed.

Chu Jingyun sat at the head of the bed calmly looking through a document.
