As night fell, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was hushed with silence, except for the flickering candlelight, which illuminated Wu'an's profound face.

He opened his mouth slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Send an order, invite the wife of Marquis Bei Ming to come over for a chat." Outside the door, the butler responded and left in a hurry.

Yun Xi walked out lightly with sharp eyes, and whispered to the servant beside her: "Go tell the wife of Bei Ming Hou that if she insists on not coming, I will personally send Chen Xingru to her house and let her see this good show with her own eyes." The servant was shocked when he heard it, but did not dare to say much, so he could only agree.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn. The old man spoke slowly, with a bit of fatigue and helplessness in his voice: "Since Song Yan and you have had physical contact, Song Yan will take you as his concubine." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chunru's face suddenly changed. She raised her head abruptly, her eyes full of reluctance and anger: "I don't want to be a concubine, he forced me! I want to be his second wife!"

When Zhao Songyan heard this, his face turned pale and he was burning with anger. He stood up suddenly and grabbed Zhang Chunru's neck as if he wanted to strangle her to death.

Zhang Chunru was shocked by his brutality and had difficulty breathing. She could only struggle desperately, grabbing Zhao Songyan's face with her hands.

At this critical moment, Marquis Wu'an swung his whip, which landed accurately on Zhao Songyan's hand.

Zhao Songyan let go of the whip in pain, but the remaining force of the whip gently scratched Zhang Chunru's cheek, leaving a bright red mark.

Zhang Chunru clenched his teeth in pain but refused to make a sound. He just glared at Zhao Songyan with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.

Yi Han watched coldly from the side, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

He sat down slowly, his eyes deep, and I don't know what he was thinking about. Seeing this, the old man frowned and looked at the wife of Wu'an Marquis impatiently: "Madam, what do you think about this matter?"

Although the wife of Marquis Wu'an was unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to reply reluctantly: "My daughter-in-law has no objection." She knew very well that no matter whether she was a co-wife or a concubine, Zhang Chunru had become Li Liangsheng's person, and he would have ways to deal with her in the future.

Xiao Yunxia, ​​who originally had an engagement with the Zhao family, was not a good talker, but she knew how to judge the situation.

She knew that the matter was irreversible and could only accept the reality silently.

Seeing this, the old man finally made a decision: "Let's do this for now. Send them back to change clothes first, and then discuss how to solve this matter after the wife of Bei Ming Hou arrives."

Zhang Chunru stubbornly retorted: "What is there to discuss? I was originally Mu Yihan's concubine, but I hated his character and didn't want to spend the rest of my life with him, so I did that. This is the truth, I have nothing to fear!"

Yun Xi sneered when she heard this: "You are very honest. In that case, please invite your parents and brothers to your house for a talk. Let us hear what they think about your affair." After that, she waved her hand to signal the servants to invite the people from the Chen family.

The old man was quite satisfied with Yun Xi's way of handling things. He knew very well that the Chen family would never allow Zhang Chunru to destroy her reputation like this.

He himself felt extremely regretful - if he had not agreed to Zhang Chunru's request to let Yi Han meet her, how could such a scandal have happened? He felt even more guilty towards Yi Han.

Soon after, people from the Chen family hurried over.

After hearing what happened, Zhang's father and mother were shocked. They looked at Zhang Chunru in disbelief as if they were looking at a stranger.

Sima Zhang was so angry that he slapped Zhang Chunru hard in the face.

This slap not only hit her face but also hit his heart.

He was heartbroken but could not help but yell: "Are you trying to piss us off to death? How can you be so foolish? This is your life's happiness!"

However, Zhang Chunru did not back down. She covered her face and cried bitterly, expressing her grievances and unwillingness: "You always force me to leave, but have you ever asked me if I am willing? How can I just walk away when they hurt me like this? Am I, Zhang Chunru, going to be bullied by them? Who the hell are they!"

Sima Zhang said angrily: "That doesn't have to cost you your whole life!" He was well aware of his sister's stubbornness but he was helpless against her ignorance and impulsiveness.

Yun Xi sat next to Yi Han the whole time without saying a word and without any change in expression. She seemed like a bystander who was not involved in the matter.

Zhang's father had a face full of shame. As a scholar, he raised such a shameless daughter, which made him feel ashamed.

"My dear father-in-law, how do you think we should solve this problem?" Zhang's father finally spoke up, breaking the silence. His words were full of helplessness and pleading.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "There are two options. Either you take her back or Song Yan takes her as a concubine." As soon as these words came out, Zhang's father felt relieved. He finally saw hope of resolving the matter.

However, he also knew in his heart that no matter which path Zhang Chunru chose, her future would be bleak.

In this storm, Yun Xi's calmness and decisiveness undoubtedly made her the biggest winner.

Not only did she successfully resolve the crisis, she also cleverly used the Zhang family's psychology to push Zhang Chunru into an even more desperate abyss.
