When Jin Lingling was crying, Li Chang, who entered from outside, immediately froze in place, somewhat unable to believe what he was hearing. How could his daughter-in-law be in Maternal Aunt Lin’s room, cursing his son and calling someone a ’cheap woman’?

Nobody in the room, including Lady Jin and Hong Yan, was aware that Li Chang had approached the door, their attention was entirely focused on Jin Lingling and Lin Siyu.

Hong Yan took advantage of the chaos, kicking Lin Siyu a few times to avenge the bite on her hand.

Her mood improved a lot. After adjusting her hair, she sneered coldly, "Maternal Aunt Lin, look at you, so confused. The master used to cherish you so much, and this is how you repay him? Luring his son! Tsk tsk, such a thing, even thinking about it is forbidden, yet you actually did it! Ouch, could it be because the master can’t satisfy you? "

"Stop babbling nonsense! Don’t you know that’s shameful?"

Lady Jin shot Hong Yan a cold glance and, turning around, saw Li Chang standing at the doorway. Her expression changed, and she immediately put on a distressed look, "Master, you... "

Li Chang didn’t even know how he made it inside the room, and he couldn’t even hear what Lady Jin was saying with her mouth open. He walked over to Lin Siyu, who was exposed and bruised, his mouth twitching, and eventually, even his face began to contort.

Lin Siyu, with her eyes swollen, slowly raised her head to look at her first man. She saw his face was pale, his eyes were vacant, and his lips were trembling.

This Li Chang was different from the one she remembered. She suddenly recalled the moment she was carried into the Li Mansion in a sedan, the first time she saw Li Chang, and their first intimate encounter.

But the scene shifted, and she saw again the moment Hong Yan entered the mansion, the arrogance she exuded when flaunting her authority.

Lin Siyu tried to smile, but her mouth was already swollen from someone’s beating, causing her pain and a sharp intake of breath. Instinctively, she reached out to Li Chang; it had been three months or maybe even longer since she had last seen him.

Yet before she could reach out, Li Chang’s face turned dark, and he kicked her squarely in the chest.

The force from a man was naturally different from that of a woman. Even after being beaten by Jin Lingling, Hong Yan, and the servant girls, Lin Siyu had never been in as much pain as she was now.

With that kick, Lin Siyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face turning even paler.

Li Chang’s anger hadn’t subsided. Grabbing her hair, he shook her violently, berating as he did, "Whore! Cheap slut! Shameless bitch! Filthy whore!"

After shaking her, Li Chang freed up one hand, holding her hair with one hand and slapping her face with the other, all the while cursing her with all kinds of vile insults.

Lin Siyu, powerless to defend herself, was beaten until blood from her nose and mouth splattered everywhere.

This scene of violence and abuse was so severe that even Hong Yan found it hard to watch, touching her face and grimacing as she imagined that face’s pain.

To let Lin Siyu die so easily would be too merciful.

Lady Jin cleared her throat and signaled to Zi Yu with her eyes.

Zi Yu nodded, made a gesture to the maid outside the door, who then called out loudly, "Master, Madam, Doctor Wang from Shande Hall is here."

"Master, Doctor Wang has arrived," Lady Jin quickly added, "let’s have him examine Chengzhi first. It’s been so long and Chengzhi still hasn’t awakened. We have no idea what’s wrong with him."

Upon hearing his son’s name, Li Chang felt a rush of aversion. He gave Lin Siyu one last slap, spat a mouthful of phlegm onto her disheveled face, stood up and snorted, "What’s wrong? Better if he’s dead! Little bastard! To dare mess with my woman, a thousand cuts wouldn’t be enough for him!"

Although he spoke harshly, Li Chang still approached the bedside and looked at his eldest son, who lay there with lips tightly sealed and eyes closed.

Lady Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing Li Chang was still worried about his son. A cold sneer crossed her heart, knowing she had to get rid of him no matter what.

As a matter of fact, Doctor Wang had been waiting outside for a while and had overheard some of what was happening inside. However, having been around many wealthy families, he clearly understood the principle of ’see no evil, hear no evil’.
