Chapter 278 - 278 In That case, I’ll Give You Another Chance!

278 In That case, I’ll Give You Another Chance!

“Ningqian, don’t spout nonsense!”

Before Song Zhou could finish speaking, the tightly shut door was slammed open from the outside. Song Minghui, Marquis Beining, rushed in from outside.

He only took two steps in before suddenly stopping and retreating to the door. He squeezed himself with Lu Ze, Pei Qian, and the others, who entered later, as if he was worried that the cold air around his body would freeze his wife and children on the bed.

“I-I won’t agree to divorce you no matter what!”

!!

This room was spacious. With the screen blocking them, even if Lu Ze and the others were present, it wouldn’t be too awkward. Song Minghui was very anxious, so ignoring the fact that there were outsiders beside him, he shouted out loud.

“Then wait to collect our corpses the next time you return to the residence!” Madam Song Zhou pursed her lips and forced back the tears at the corners of her eyes as she said, “There will be a next time!

It would be fine if this child was a daughter! If it was a son, he would definitely become a thorn in their side!

You can protect your mother and compromise, but I have to protect my child and let him come to this world safely! I’ve had enough of being bullied!

To put it nicely, I’m the wife of the heir, but who actually takes us seriously?!

Madam Yu is just a concubine, but she orders me around! If I disagree, I’m even accused by my mother-in-law of not thinking about the big picture!

How am I supposed to think about the big picture?!

Don’t you know how difficult it was for me to get pregnant with this child?

Now, you keep saying that you don’t want a divorce. Can you give me an explanation?!”

Lin Suisui reached out and gently patted the back of Song Zhou’s hand, reminding her not to be so agitated. However, it was obvious that the most agitated person wasn’t Song Zhou, but Song Minghui, who was standing on the other side of the screen.

“Follow me out first!” Song Minghui wanted to explain, but Zhou Hengchang, who was standing beside him, reached out and grabbed his collar. Without saying anything else, he dragged him out.

Pei Qian reached out to pull Lu Ze out, but Lu Ze took a step back and avoided him. “Go over with Wei Qing and take a look. I’ll stay here.”

Pei Qian didn’t force him. He simply turned around and left the room with Wei Qing.

In the courtyard outside the door, Zhou Hengchang had already punched Song Minghui to the ground.

“No married woman from the Zhou family has suffered such grievances! Ningqian is my sister. When she married you back then, you swore in front of the Zhou family’s elders and ancestors that you would protect her for the rest of her life!

But what have you given her now?”

After Zhou Hengchang punched him a few times, he pulled Song Minghui, who hadn’t resisted at all from the beginning to the end, up from the ground. Then, he grabbed his neck and gritted his teeth as he questioned him.

While the battle was in full swing outside, Lu Ze had already started to ask Lin Suisui about the whole story.

“That’s right. When I saw Song Zhou being pushed by that woman, I couldn’t ignore it, so I asked Su Le to keep those people outside while I came in first.

Fortunately, Song Zhou was on guard when she fell to the ground. The child is fine, but Song Zhou’s arm is fractured. We can only wait until we return to the city to treat her.”

Through the screen, Lin Suisui briefly told Lu Ze what had happened just now. Then, she turned to look out the window and asked Lu Ze in confusion, “What’s going on outside?”

“Song Zhou’s brother is taking revenge for her. Don’t worry, Zhou Hengchang knows how to control his strength. He won’t be beaten up badly.”

Lu Ze glanced at Song Minghui, who was being beaten in the courtyard outside, in disdain. Then, he explained to Lin Suisui and Madam Song Zhou, who was on the bed.

When Song Zhou, who had just shouted that she wanted a divorce, heard this news, she immediately became nervous.

Although Song Zhou didn’t speak, Lin Suisui could see the worry and reluctance in her eyes. She realized what she was thinking about.

When she recalled that he had just entered with Lu Ze and the others, it wasn’t difficult to guess the status of the Song family. Therefore, she took advantage of the situation and said to Lu Ze, “Husband, although he deserves to be taught a lesson for his foolish filial piety, the ones who should be taught a lesson are those vicious people with ulterior motives!

Someone had clearly done this on purpose today!

“Please remind Mr. Zhou that the people outside are still restrained. Mr. Song can be taught a lesson anytime, but shouldn’t we seek justice for Song Zhou now?”

Lu Ze responded and turned to leave the room. He stood under the corridor as he looked at Zhou Hengchang, who was punching Song Minghui in the middle of the courtyard. “Mr. Zhou, get your priorities straight. Mr. Song can’t escape. You can teach him a lesson whenever you want. Isn’t it more important to seek justice for Song Zhou now?”

Lu Ze’s reminder worked. Zhou Hengchang finally retracted his fist and stood up. Then, he lowered his eyes and glared at Song Minghui, who was beaten black and blue on the ground and had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. “Mr. Song, didn’t you just say in front of my sister that you were unwilling to divorce?!

In that case, I’ll give you another chance!

I’ll leave today’s matter to you to investigate! I don’t have any other requests. My sister and the child in her stomach almost lost their lives this time!

You don’t have to feel sorry for my sister, but that child is your biological child!

“If you can’t get justice for them, there’s no need for your permission to get a divorce. I’ll make the decision. From now on, my sister will have nothing to do with you!”

Because of Lin Suisui’s previous arrangements, it didn’t take long for Song Minghui, who was walking out of the courtyard with a dark expression, to see where they were standing at the time of the incident.

“Second Brother, I was too impulsive and didn’t protect Sister-in-law well.” Seeing Song Minghui come out, Song Mingmin, who had been standing there until her legs were about to ache, seemed to have seen her savior. Tears immediately flowed out uncontrollably as she said, “But Sister-in-law didn’t fall by accident. She was pushed by Sixth Sister!”

“Fifth Madam, you can’t slander me like this!” Hearing Song Mingmin’s accusation, Song Xiao, who had been hiding in the courtyard and eavesdropping, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She opened the door and rushed out of the courtyard that she had been hiding in previously. As usual, she retorted to Song Minghui arrogantly, “At that time, there were many people and everyone was huddled together. Perhaps Mrs. Song Zhou accidentally fell down. What evidence can prove that Sixth Sister pushed her?”
