After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 130 He Wenxuan's Third Brother-in-Law Falls in Love with Su Qianqian

Ren Muchen was born into a renowned family of doctors. His grandfather was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, a highly respected and virtuous man, and his father ran the family clinic, Lianjitang, in the capital.

He displayed extraordinary medical talent from a young age, and now his medical skills are even more superb, truly surpassing his teacher.

Therefore, when Ren Muchen holds consultations at his family clinic, many people come from far and wide, and he is even called "Little Miracle Doctor" by many people!

Upon hearing He Wenxuan's words, Shen Xiujin frowned deeply, inwardly realizing the gravity of the situation. He knew firsthand just how terrifying Su Qianqian was.

Recalling his past interactions with Su Qianqian still fills him with lingering fear.

Shen Xiujin asked with a troubled expression, "Uh... are you sure your third sister won't kill you?"

He Wenxuan nodded with a bitter expression and replied helplessly, "My sister already threatened to kill me that day and sever our sibling relationship..."

However, this was not the most terrifying thing. What truly chilled him to the bone was that whenever he tried to distance himself from Su Qianqian, everything remained calm.

But once he had the thought of getting rid of her, or when Su Qianqian needed something from him, he felt as if he was being controlled by something.

Instantly, he was like a puppet who had lost his own consciousness, and could only obediently "fully cooperate" and let her do whatever she wanted.

At this point, He Wenxuan became increasingly agitated. He suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing a large, shocking patch of bruises on his upper body.

The wounds were crisscrossed, some bluish-purple, others black, a truly chilling sight.

Looking at the aggrieved person in front of him, Shen Xiujin raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Wow, your third sister really went all out. She's really trying to beat you to death!"

Upon hearing this, He Wenxuan hurriedly retorted, "It wasn't my third sister who hit me."

Shen Xiujin asked suspiciously, "Who is that?"

He Wenxuan suddenly lowered his head and mumbled a reply, "Yes... he's my third brother-in-law."

Shen Xiujin immediately wore an incredulous expression, secretly thinking to himself:

Holy crap, no way? Could it be that in just a few short days, Ren Muchen has already fallen deeply in love with Su Qianqian, and even started competing with He Wenxuan for her affections?

At this moment, He Wenxuan continued sobbing, "I don't know why, but I was beaten really badly this time..."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something terrible, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“My third brother-in-law is a doctor. You have no idea how wicked he is. When he beats me, he specifically targets places that won't kill me, but will still cause me excruciating pain…”

At this moment, He Wenxuan was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, looking pitifully at Shen Xiujin, and said in a choked voice:

"Do you know? I've been looking for you everywhere these past few days, so many times. But every time, it's been by some twist of fate, and I've never been able to see you."

Do you hate me that much? I'm already in such a miserable state, why can't you lend a hand to help me...?

Shen Xiujin's expression became very complicated. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Is it possible that it's not that you're always unlucky and missed me, or that you can't find me?"

Rather, it all seemed to be predestined, as if some unseen force was preventing you from finding me…

He Wenxuan's pupils dilated instantly as he stared at Shen Xiujin in astonishment, his voice trembling as he said, "You mean... it was it that did it?"

As he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, which trembled slightly as he pointed towards the sky.

Shen Xiujin nodded gravely, indicating his agreement with He Wenxuan's guess.

At that time, Shen Xiujin felt extremely lonely, as if he were the only person left in the whole world.

He understood that oppressive feeling all too well, as if he were the only person left in the whole world.

Everyone else around him became indifferent passersby, completely unaware of or misunderstanding what he had been going through, leaving him to perform a one-man show.

Seeing Shen Xiujin's reaction, He Wenxuan felt increasingly anxious and asked, "Then... what should I do now?"

Shen Xiujin glanced at He Wenxuan silently, feeling somewhat hesitant about whether he should lend a helping hand.

Seeing this, He Wenxuan's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down before Shen Xiujin, pleading, "You must help me! I really don't know what to do!"

However, Shen Xiujin gently shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm not their biological son after all. Their biological son is right here..."

As he spoke, he gestured to He Wenxuan with his eyes, making him understand that there was someone else who could truly help.

He Wenxuan suddenly realized what was happening, and hurriedly turned to face Shen Xiuyan and Gu Yunchen, pleading without hesitation:

"Please, please help me! I really can't take it anymore. If my parents find out that my third sister and brother-in-law are getting a divorce, and it was because of me, they will definitely beat me to death..."

Not long after, Jiang Mianmian received a report from the housekeeper that her four sons had drunk too much at Zuixianglou and asked her to go and pick them up.

Not long after, Jiang Mianmian, who was leisurely enjoying tea in the courtyard, suddenly received a report from the housekeeper who rushed over.

She said that her four good sons were drinking in the brothel and were completely drunk, so she had to go and pick them up herself.

"Uh... Butler, could it be that this person has the wrong person?"

Jiang Mianmian looked at the housekeeper with suspicion, muttering to herself:

[You know, it's one thing for others to go to those kinds of brothels, but her eldest and third sons have always been people of good character and who strictly adhere to etiquette. How could they possibly frequent such places?]

So when she first heard the news, she found it utterly absurd and even wondered if someone was deliberately playing a prank on her.

Jiang Mianmian shook her head and chuckled, lamenting how audacious swindlers these days are, daring to deceive even the people of their Marquis's mansion.

Seeing Jiang Mianmian's reaction, the butler, who had been somewhat unsure, immediately felt at ease. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that there was something strange about the matter.

Given the usual conduct and behavior of the eldest and third young masters, it is indeed highly unlikely that they would do something so outrageous.

So the butler bowed respectfully to Jiang Mianmian and then silently withdrew, intending to give the visitor a good scolding.

Just then, Zhou Jingyao, who was hesitant to speak, saw Jiang Mianmian wave her hand at the butler, indicating that he didn't need to say anything and should leave.

Zhou Jingyao opened her mouth, but had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. In the end, she still couldn't say them!

Meanwhile, in another courtyard of the Marquis's residence—the Cherry Blossom Courtyard—Li Tingxue was leisurely pruning the flower branches.

Suddenly, her personal maid, Baihe, rushed in, looking flustered and panting, saying, "Young Mistress, something terrible has happened!"

"I just received a message from the butler saying that the young master got drunk at the Zuixiang Restaurant outside, and he wants you to take a few more servants to pick him up as soon as possible. I also heard that there are four of them in total," Lily said breathlessly.

Upon hearing Baihe's words, Li Tingxue dropped the scissors in her hand with a "clatter" to the ground. She froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, her face filled with disbelief, unable to believe what she had just heard.

She never imagined that her husband, whom she had been married to for many years and who had always been steady and self-controlled, would one day secretly go to a brothel behind her back. This news was like a bombshell to her.

Anger and shame intertwined, making Li Tingxue's face turn extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth, suppressing the anger in her heart, and without saying a word, she led a group of maids and servants to Songhe Courtyard.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mianmian was leisurely drinking tea and chatting with Zhou Jingyao when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar.

Immediately afterward, Li Tingxue burst into the courtyard, her face full of grievance, and asked, "Mother, did you also hear from the steward that my husband... got drunk at the brothel? What... what exactly happened?"

Faced with Li Tingxue's aggrieved account, Jiang Mianmian was taken aback at first, but then she understood why the other party had come. She couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, thinking to herself that this matter was really getting bigger and bigger.

[Uh, I didn't expect the steward to be so quick today, managing to notify all the masters of our Marquis's mansion. My eldest daughter-in-law is really something; didn't I just tell the steward that the messenger was definitely a fraud?]

[Hmph, trying to fool me? No way! That flimsy excuse was easily seen through! Those despicable swindlers didn't even bother to find out that Fourth Brother is still far away!]

"Right now, there are only the three brothers in the capital. How could I suddenly have a fourth son? Isn't that blatant deception?"

Li Tingxue instantly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. "Oh right, how could I have forgotten about that? Concern makes me lose my bearings; I almost caused trouble!"

Then, the steward came in again, bringing with him a man who had come to relieve him. The man insisted that the drunk man claimed to be the young masters of the Marquis's mansion and asked him to come to the mansion to inform them to pick him up!

He didn't want to come in the first place, but the man offered so much that he couldn't leave now, even at the risk of getting beaten up!

Hearing this person's words, Jiang Mianmian also forced herself to believe it. She raised her head and slowly swept her gaze over Li Tingxue and Zhou Jingyao, a trace of worry rising in her heart.

Oh dear, it really is, isn't it?

But then again... it doesn't seem fake. Could it be that this is actually true...?

Could it be that one of them went to a brothel, and someone got drunk and accidentally flirted with a woman? If that's the case, then this is a huge problem!

[You know, one is a ready-made daughter-in-law already married into the Marquis's household, and the other is a young woman who is very likely to become a daughter-in-law in the future. It would be incredibly distressing for either of them to be in this situation!]

Sigh, what should I do? After thinking it over... maybe I should just have the third son make a sacrifice?

Although the third son is his own, for the sake of the family's future harmony and peace, and to allow the second son's beautiful love story to continue, it seems he has no choice but to make the sacrifice for him...

At this moment, all sorts of chaotic and complicated thoughts kept flashing through Jiang Mianmian's mind, making her extremely upset.
