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

Chapter 67 A battle between scumbag men and bitches

Seeing his beloved woman suffer such a terrible fate, Meng Zigao disregarded everything else and rushed forward, forcefully shoving Pan Ranyue away.

"Get out of here, Pan Ranyue, you bitch! How dare you cause trouble here and hit my woman? Do you have a death wish?"

"what!"

Pan Ranyue was pushed to the ground, her hands were scraped and she was in a lot of pain. She turned her head and looked at Meng Zigao in disbelief. Was this... still the same man who always doted on her, was humble and honest?

"You...you pushed me? Just for this bitch, you treat me like this? Are you even human? I'm your wife, the mother of your son, and she's just a shameful mistress, a slut?"

Meng Zigao's face was indifferent. He could no longer pretend, nor did he want to. After all, Li Chuan already knew, so what was the use of denying it?

He glanced at the surprised Pan Ranyue and said sarcastically, "Pan Ranyue, how dare you say such a thing! Back then, wasn't your initial approach to me all for Li Chuan?"

If it weren't for him, how could someone like me have caught your eye? But who could have imagined that, by a twist of fate, you would end up in my bed!

But you shameless slut, you're still not willing to submit to me, and you even made my own son call another man 'Dad'! A shameless woman like you, who knows who you've slept with?

Hehe... You know what? Every time I sleep with you, I feel nauseous and have to take several showers. You're so shameless, always flirting with Li Chuan.

"And what gives you the nerve to come here and cause trouble? Believe me, if you keep this up, I'll expose your shameful deeds to everyone, and let them see just how lewd and unruly you are!"

Pan Ranyue trembled with rage at Meng Zigao's words. How could he speak of her like that? Her eyes were filled with resentment as she pointed at Meng Zigao's nose and shouted:

"Well, Meng Zigao, you heartless bastard, now you're showing your true colors. Back when we conspired together to deceive Li Chuan, weren't you quite enthusiastic about it too!"

Even the fact that your son called someone else "Dad," didn't you agree to it back then? Now you're turning around and accusing me. If that's the case, why are you pretending to be innocent here?"

"Back then, wasn't it all because of me that Li Chuan kindly supported and helped you? Why didn't you think I was dirty back then?"

Instead, he would always whisper sweet nothings to me in bed, coaxing me to continue deceiving Li Chuan, helping me build connections and make money.

Now that you've gotten everything you wanted, you've turned your back on me and are looking down on me at every turn! Meng Zigao, you despicable and shameless scoundrel, I curse you to die a horrible death, you'll get your retribution…”

At the height of her emotions, Pan Ranyue couldn't help but spit at Meng Zigao and curse, "Pah! Meng Zigao, you ungrateful, turtle-headed bastard!"

After taking advantage of you, instead of being grateful, now that things have been exposed, you're complaining and having a bunch of 'illegitimate children' outside! Have you lost all your conscience?

"Ha! We're not on equal footing. If I didn't cooperate with you, how would you have gotten any benefits from Li Chuan? If you don't want to lose everything, shut your mouth, or you won't even know how you died."

Meng Zigao was unwilling to argue with Pan Ranyue any longer and wanted to simply kick her out. But in the next instant, several officials in uniform, looking menacing, suddenly appeared in front of them.

This sudden turn of events left him completely bewildered, and the officers didn't give him a chance to react, simply uttering a cold sentence:

"Someone died from the food at Wangyuelou Restaurant. The Dali Temple has taken over the case. Lord Zheng summons you for questioning. Come with us quickly!"

Before he could finish speaking, the group forcibly took Meng Zigao away without saying a word.

Later, although the officials didn't guess Li Chuan's name correctly, they did tell others that Meng Zigao's wife had a child out of wedlock with a high-ranking official surnamed Li, and the matter eventually became widely known.

After Meng Zigao was taken away, only Pan Ranyue and the mistress remained, standing there dumbfounded. The two looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.

However, Pan Ranyue immediately burst into laughter: "Every cause has its effect, and his retribution is me! Meng Zigao, you deserve it for wronging me, you're getting your comeuppance now! How wonderful, haha..."

"Snapped"

A crisp slap landed on Pan Ranyue's face, turning her face to the side and immediately swelling it into a pig's head.

"Clap clap clap..."

Before Pan Ranyue could react, she was slapped several more times.

With Meng Zigao no longer in the way, the mistress no longer pretended to be gentle and virtuous.

Pan Ranyue's words had completely enraged her. Her youngest child was still a child and could not be separated from Meng Zigao's money and care.

Therefore, upon hearing Pan Ranyue's words, and considering the grudge from being beaten earlier, she was consumed by rage and decided to settle scores with her.

Her father was a butcher, and she had been strong since she was a child, though no one else knew it.

According to the mistress's neighbors, the scene was chaotic, with the two women fighting fiercely, shouting and crying filling the air.

Some people saw that Pan Ranyue had two teeth knocked out, her face was swollen like a pig's head, and she even limped when she walked, which shows how badly she was beaten.

…………

Meanwhile, in the Songhe Courtyard of the Marquis's residence, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law presented a completely different picture of harmony.

Jiang Mianmian leisurely munched on sunflower seeds, her eyes sparkling with gossip, watching her daughter-in-law with great interest, and casually asked:

"Oh! Could it be that you were the one who revealed the address of Meng Zigao's mistress to Pan Ranyue?"

Li Tingxue didn't deny it. Instead, she said with a smile, "Hmph, who told them to be so ungrateful? They had a perfectly good life but had to provoke the Li family! They even dared to dream of driving my mother away so they could become an official's wife. What a fool's dream!"

"Wasn't that woman always so smugly boasting about how she schemed against my parents for half her life? Now, it's her turn to taste the bitterness of being schemed against by the man beside her..."

While gently holding and teasing Le'an, Li Tingxue spoke indignantly.

Jiang Mianmian, standing to the side, didn't find anything wrong with Li Tingxue's actions.

She knew perfectly well that all of this was probably a revenge operation launched by the Li family against Meng Zigao and Pan Ranyue, and that this matter was probably not over yet.

Jiang Mianmian gently shook her head, sighed helplessly, and secretly regretted it. Alas! It's a pity she didn't get to witness the live 'juicy scoop' of this farce!

At this moment, Cuiyu, who was standing to the side, also came over and added: "However, Madam, you don't know this, but I heard that Meng Zigao's concubine is no pushover!"

What happened next was even more astonishing. Not only did the concubine refuse to admit that she was just a mistress, she even dared to beat up the legal wife, Pan Ranyue.

Not only that, she even went so far as to claim that only the children she bore were Meng Zigao's true biological offspring, while Meng Yuheng was nothing more than a bastard child that her husband refused to acknowledge.

Oh dear, in short, the two of them had such a huge fight that day, and now the story has spread like wildfire, becoming a popular topic of conversation!

Li Tingxue sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, gently waving an exquisite round fan in her hand, listening to Cui Mei recount Meng Zigao's various experiences with great enthusiasm.

She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha... I really didn't expect that! I heard that although Meng Zigao was finally released from prison, he spent a lot of money to bribe people everywhere so that he wouldn't go back to jail."

Moreover, his restaurant even got involved in a murder case, and in the end, even the government couldn't stand it anymore and shut it down!

She paused slightly, then continued, "Even if the Meng Family Restaurant has the opportunity to reopen in the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to patronize it again."

After all, with something like this happening, who wouldn't be afraid of losing their life in the blink of an eye? After saying that, she smiled slightly.

At this moment, Cuiyu quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, young mistress. I also heard that the families of the two deceased really ripped off Meng Zigao!"

They won't stop until they get enough compensation, otherwise they'll continue to file complaints.

In my opinion, this matter is definitely not going to end so easily. Pan Ranyue, Meng Zigao, and that woman he's keeping on the side are going to cause quite a stir!

"Hmph! Let them make a scene! None of these people are any good anyway." Li Tingxue sneered with a disdainful look. "That Meng Zigao is a complete scumbag."

Pan Ranyue and her mistress were no better; they were three shameless scumbags and despicable men. As the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together,' so let them fight it out.

Jiang Mianmian turned to look at her daughter-in-law beside her, a wave of emotion washing over her. Back then, she herself had been unlucky, encountering a scumbag like Shen Hanjiang when she was young, and suffering quite a bit in the process.

Now that their daughter-in-law has married into their family, although life is a bit ordinary, it is still relatively peaceful and harmonious.

Then think of her mother-in-law, who is much luckier than herself, having married her so-called "true love" and enjoying wealth and luxury.

Unexpectedly, Pan Ranyue interfered in her mother-in-law's marriage and caused a great deal of trouble. Although her father-in-law was innocent, her mother-in-law was still disgusting.

If it weren't for her interference, this marriage would have been quite happy and fulfilling. It's just a pity that things haven't gone as planned! She couldn't help but sigh softly again.
