As night fell, the figure of Mrs. Bei Minghou gradually disappeared from sight, leaving the room in a solemn and complex atmosphere.

Sima Zhang's gaze was like a deep pool, staring at Zhang Chunru. In his eyes, pain and reluctance were intertwined, and deeper inside, there was endless helplessness.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" There was a hint of astonishment in Zhang Chunru's voice. She looked at him steadily, trying to read the answer from those deep eyes.

In a moment, she seemed to realize something, and her expression suddenly changed, "Are you trying to push me into the abyss of that crazy woman?"

Sima Zhang had mixed feelings. He also wanted to protect his sister, but the words of the wife of Marquis Bei Ming were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart.

He thought to himself that perhaps, by enduring some physical pain, he could save his sister from the storm.

Zhang's mother observed his expression and saw through her son's thoughts at a glance. She was terrified and tried to dissuade him in a trembling voice, "The outside world says that the wife of Bei Minghou is crazy. How can you send Chunru into the tiger's mouth?"

Zhang Sima smiled bitterly and asked, "What do you think I should do, mother?"

Zhang's mother said firmly: "Just don't send it over! I don't believe that there is still someone in this world who can cover the sky with one hand!"

Zhang Chunru, who was standing aside, became even more furious when she heard this: "Brother, I will never obey you even if I die!" There was determination in her voice, as if no threats could shake her resolve.

Sima Zhang fell into an unprecedented predicament. He looked helplessly at his father-in-law, Marquis Wu'an, hoping for some guidance.

Wu Anhou's expression was calm, and he spoke slowly: "You need to consider this matter yourself. Bei Minghou's wife is very clear about gratitude and resentment. Since Xingru has offended her, how can she let it go easily? But then again, she is also a trustworthy person. Since she has said that she will not hurt him in the slightest, she should keep her word."

Zhang Chunru was furious when he heard this: "You all want me to die! If I enter Bei Ming Hou's mansion, how can I survive?"

The old man was furious when he heard this: "You asked for this all yourself! You acted recklessly and now you are reaping the consequences!"

Zhang Sima clenched his teeth and said in a low but firm voice: "Yes, you have brought this upon yourself. But no matter what, I am also your brother. How can I watch you die?"

Zhang Chunru lost control of her emotions and roared, "If you dare to send me away, I will die in front of you!" Her threat was filled with despair and stubbornness.

At this time, Yun Xi came back quietly. She heard all this and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that I won the bet. I made a bet with the wife of Bei Minghou that you would never go."

Zhang Chunru glared at Yun Xi: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yun Xi disagreed and said sarcastically: "You are obviously scared to death, but you still want to be brave. If you really dare to go, why are you so angry?"

Zhang Chunru was so provoked that she lost her mind. She stood up angrily and said, "Okay! Brother, you send me there! I want to see if the wife of Bei Ming Hou really dares to kill me! If I die in her hands, you will go to the emperor and sue her for murder!" After that, she left angrily.

Upon seeing this, Zhang's mother hurriedly chased after him, and Zhang Sima and Zhang's father followed closely behind.

This family storm finally fell on their own heads. As for the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, it seemed that there was no need to intervene any more.

However, the Marquis's anger did not subside.

He glared at Zhao Songyan who was kneeling on the ground, his tone full of disappointment and anger: "How can you be so stupid? You went when summoned in the middle of the night? You didn't even have the most basic vigilance! A person like you still wants to achieve great things? You should just be a good playboy!"

Zhao Songyan clenched his fists, veins on his forehead bulged. The Marquis' words were like a sharp knife, piercing deep into his heart.

His resentful eyes fell on Yi Han, and he blurted out: "He is your biological son, right? He was born from your affair with Madam Mu! Otherwise, why would you be so partial to him?"

"Shut up!" Wu Anhou shouted angrily, slapped the table, and then raised the whip.

He whipped Zhao Songyan fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.

However, even so, he still felt unsatisfied and shouted angrily: "Come here! Lock him up in the house! Without my order! Don't go anywhere!"

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, there was silence in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.

However, beneath this calm, undercurrents are surging.
