My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 332 - 208: The First Clash Between Son-in-law and Mother-in-law

Li Nuo and his wife returned to their room, preparing for a moment of intimacy.

To avoid Yiren suddenly barging in, he deliberately closed the door.

Unexpectedly, just as he had taken his wife's hand, he heard a cry of alarm from Yiren next door.

A few breaths later.

Bang!

The bolt of the room's door snapped directly, and Song Yiren, pale-faced, ran in from outside.

Hiding behind Li Nuo and Song Jiaren with a look of terror, she clutched at Li Nuo's clothes and said tremblingly, "She, she's here!"

Li Nuo had never seen the fearless Song Yiren panic like this. He forgot about the broken door bolt and asked, "What on earth happened, who is here?"

As his voice fell, faint footsteps sounded near his ear.

A woman walked in from outside.

The woman looked very beautiful, seemingly under thirty, with delicate and fair skin, no different from a young girl, except her brows faintly conveyed a murderous aura.

Li Nuo had a knack for judging people, and this woman, appearing to be under thirty, was likely around thirty-five.

Though it was their first meeting, Li Nuo felt a strange familiarity towards her.

Her expression indifferent, she walked into the room and began scrutinizing Li Nuo.

When Song Jiaren saw the woman, she slightly trembled and murmured, "Master..."

Shock also appeared in Li Nuo's eyes.

Could it be that his wife's master was...

Lady Mother-in-law?

Had she really come from the Sanqing Sect to Chang'an to commit murder?

The woman's gaze finally drifted from Li Nuo and looked towards Song Jiaren beside him, her calm face finally showing some complexity.

...

Song Residence.

Inside the great hall.

Old Mrs. Song sat in the main seat, leaning on a cane, looking at a woman with a frosty face and asked, "Why have you returned?"

The woman sat in a chair and said indifferently, "I have come to take my daughter away."

Old Mrs. Song banged the ground hard with her cane and declared, "That's the Song Family's daughter!"

The woman paid her no heed, her gaze turning to Song Yiren, she asked calmly, "Until when will you hide?"

Song Yiren trembled, and silently walked out from behind Li Nuo. She stood pale behind the woman, head down, not saying a word, her former arrogance gone.

Old Mrs. Song stated resolutely, "I will not let you take Yiren away."

The woman did not glance at her and stated flatly, "Then let me take Jiaren. That was the agreement I had with Song Zhe. I do not wish to waste words on you, have Song Zhe come out and talk to me."

Old Mrs. Song pointed with her cane towards the outside, angrily commanding, "Go, call that scoundrel back here!"

Upon hearing this, a Song family servant immediately hurried out.

For over twenty years, a mountain of conflicts had built up between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and after twenty years, the animosity remained.

Old Mrs. Song, not willing to share a room with her, was helped out temporarily by two maids.

The great hall instantly fell silent.

Song Yiren, head bowed, felt utter despair.

All the joy of recent days was slipping away from her.

Song Jiaren stood quietly,

Gazing at that figure both alien and familiar, unsure of how to confront her.

The woman who gave birth to her but did not raise her.

The master who taught her the Martial Path, yet also the Yuqing Heart Method.

Without her, she would not have come into this world.

And yet, it was she who prevented her from becoming a proper wife.

The woman stood up, walked over to Song Jiaren, took her hand and asked softly, "Have you been well all these years?"

Song Jiaren didn't know what to say, her gaze shifting away to avoid.

The woman looked at her and said, "If you hate me, I don't blame you. That was the only way to save you from marrying that fool Li Xuanjing's son. Your father didn't care about you, but I would never allow my daughter to marry a fool!"

Li Xuanjing's fool of a son stood beside Song Jiaren, but he said nothing.

The woman, from beginning to end, ignored him. Holding Song Jiaren's hand, she said, "If you wish to leave, mother will take you away, and from now on, you will cultivate in the Sanqing Sect and never return to Chang'an!"

Song Jiaren withdrew her hand that was held by the woman, and before her, she tightly grasped Li Nuo's hand, saying, "I'm not leaving."

The woman's brow furrowed.

She had not expected that, after years of separation, Jiaren too had learned to defy her.

At that moment, Song Yiren also ran behind Li Nuo and said, "I'm not leaving either, I don't want to go back to the Sanqing Sect ever again!"

The woman's gaze swept over the faces of the two sisters.

Jiaren was defying her.

Li Nuo, who had always been obedient to her since she was a child, was defying her now.

"Very well, very well, very well..."

The woman didn't get angry, but instead laughed. She said the word 'very well' three times in succession, and then coldly stated, "Do you think he can protect you?"

As her words fell, Li Nuo sensed a powerful force rushing towards him. He was thrown back, flipping through the air. Had he not used the Imprisonment Skill to protect himself, the fall would have been quite severe.

Two figures chased after him simultaneously. Song Yiren helped Li Nuo to his feet, angrily pointing at the woman, "What are you doing? Are you mad, bullying someone who knows nothing of the Martial Path when you, a Grandmaster, should know better!"

Song Jiaren stood in front of Li Nuo. Although she said nothing, her position made her stance clear.

The woman stepped out from the room, staring blankly at her two daughters.

Her daughters, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to, were now opposing her for the sake of a man?

At this moment, her heart was filled with not only anger but also an inexplicable sadness.

Her expression gradually calmed down, and she turned and went back inside.

Song Yiren looked anxiously at Li Nuo, "Are you alright?"

She knew her mother never liked him and was worried she had done something to him secretly just now.

Li Nuo dusted off his sleeves and smiled, "I'm fine."

At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside. Song Zhe looked at Song Yiren, "Yiren, where's your mother?"

Song Yiren pointed inside.

Song Zhe quickly walked toward the hall, but his steps slowed down halfway.

Finally, he took a deep breath and still entered. He looked at the figure with their back to him, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered softly, "Qing'er..."

The woman's body trembled slightly. Her body instinctively turned around, but she stopped halfway.

In the courtyard, Li Nuo glanced back and then turned to walk away.

Inside the room, Song Zhe asked the woman in a soft voice, "Qing'er, have you been well these years?"

The woman turned her head, not looking at him directly, and said coldly, "Without that annoying mother of yours, of course, I have been well!"

Song Zhe's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

His mother had never liked her, thinking she did not have the manner of a well-bred lady.

She was used to being free and disliked his mother's discipline.

Caught between his mother and his wife, he found himself in a difficult position, leading to the outcome they faced now.

Su Qing looked at Song Zhe, questioning him, "Are you really Jiaren's father? Why would you let her marry an idiot?"

Song Zhe explained, "He was never an idiot; that was just Xuanjing's way of protecting him. He's not only not foolish but is also as wise as Xuanjing once was. He has just passed the Imperial Examination with the rank of Sixth-Ranking Scholar..."

Su Qing angrily said, "Don't mention Li Xuanjing to me. Everything that's happened to us today is because of him. If it weren't for him, my sister Wan'er wouldn't have died in such despair!"

Song Zhe was at a loss for words.

After a moment, Su Qing said in a heavy tone, "I'm going to take Jiaren and Yiren away."

Song Zhe declared, "That's not possible. Jiaren is already married to Li Nuo, and they have a good relationship. You can't separate them."

"A good relationship?"

Su Qing coldly said, "Were not our feelings for each other once good too? And yet here we are, in this situation. What good are feelings, love, sweet nothings, and vows of undying commitment—they are all false. With her talent, she should be devoted to Cultivation, to become a Grandmaster as soon as possible, so she can break through to the Sixth Realm!"

Song Zhe found himself speechless once more.

The past had made her even more extreme in her views.

All he could say was, "They... they're different from us."

Su Qing replied indifferently, "Yes, they are different. Jiaren is practicing the Yuqing Heart Technique. She must give up the Martial Path to be his wife, and even if she gave up the Martial Path, she can't carry on the Li Family's lineage. Do you think Li Xuanjing would let the Li Family's line come to an end?"

Song Zhe shook visibly. He remembered the discussions about the Yuqing Heart Technique from years past.

He looked at Su Qing with anger, "How did Jiaren come to know the Yuqing Heart Technique of the Sanqing Sect? You taught her that, didn't you? You're her mother, how can you do this to her!"

Su Qing was equally angry, retorting, "What else? Let her marry an idiot and ruin her happiness for the rest of her life?"

She coldly continued, "Men cannot be relied upon in the end. Better to devote oneself to Cultivation. I planned to take her back to the Sanqing Sect to practice once Li Xuanjing called off the marriage. I just never expected that she wouldn't tell any of you..."

The husband and wife were both furious.

Song Zhe wanted to leave in a huff but found it hard to let go.

He feared that once he left, the next time he'd see her might be twenty years later.

Su Qing wanted to forcefully take her two daughters away, but despite her resolve, she couldn't bring herself to take that step.

At that moment, there was suddenly a flurry of footsteps outside, followed by a stern voice, "Where is the culprit who attacked the court-appointed official? Surrender immediately!"

Song Zhe was taken aback before quickly stepping out of the room.

He saw two officials from the Ministry of Justice, leading a team of Imperial Guards, storming into the courtyard.

He looked at the leading Ministry of Justice official, astonished, "Lord Zhang, what is this about?"

Zhang Sizheng greeted him with a bow and said seriously, "The Ministry of Justice received a report that a woman attacked a court-appointed official. We are here to apprehend the perpetrator!"

Song Zhe looked confused, "Who attacked a court-appointed official, and which official?"

Zhang Sizheng said, "The victim is your son-in-law, Assistant Minister of Rites, Lord Li. The attacker is a woman dressed in white, with the emblem of three small mountains on her chest..."

Su Qing walked out of the hall.

Zhang Sizheng caught a glimpse of her and immediately pointed toward her, saying, "The criminal who attacked Lord Li is this woman. Arrest her!"
