Chapter 2: My Husband is a Little Puppy, Who Can Stand This?

“You damn rapist!”

Gu Yunlan howled, and Mu Zixuan, who was leading the way, stumbled and fell to the ground when he heard her cry.

His eyes were filled with fear, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Gu Yunlan: “Ghost, ghost!”

Seeing Mu Zixuan, the image of being forced upon her was as real as it could be. She was burning with anger.

She hated men who forced themselves on women the most!

She jumped up, grabbed Mu Zixuan, and slapped him twice!

Mu Zixuan was both shocked and scared: “Father! Help!”

“Alright! Stop it!” Mu Kangsheng reprimanded, his brows furrowed.

Gu Yunlan didn’t want to listen, but Mu Chenye came over and grabbed her sleeve: “Wife, listen to father, father is good.”

Since her little puppy had spoken, Gu Yunlan had to give him face. She reluctantly snorted, let go of him, and pushed him. Mu Zixuan fell to the ground and rolled before stopping.

Mu Kangsheng hurried over and checked Mu Chenye’s hand up and down: “Ye’er, are you alright?”

Mu Chenye shook his head.

Mu Kangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the person behind him: “Brother Wang, please take a look at Ye’er.”

Wang Qiao was the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He was upright and honest, and he was good friends with Mu Kangsheng, the upright Minister of Justice. Mu Chenye’s illness had always been taken care of by him, so Mu Kangsheng trusted Wang Qiao very much.

“No problem.” Wang Qiao waved his hand and began to take Mu Chenye’s pulse.

Gu Yunlan watched coldly from the side.

Although he had raised two beasts like Mu Wencheng and Mu Zixuan, Mu Kangsheng seemed to genuinely care for Mu Chenye.

She had slapped Mu Zixuan twice, and Mu Kangsheng didn’t even bother to stop her. Instead, he immediately had the imperial physician check Mu Chenye’s pulse.

Mu Kangsheng looked at Wang Qiao anxiously, but Wang Qiao’s face lit up: “Brother Mu, good news! Ye’er’s body was like decaying wood, about to crumble, but now his pulse is much stronger. If he is properly treated, it’s not impossible for him to fully recover!”

Mu Kangsheng was overjoyed, his eyes moist. He turned his head awkwardly to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes. But Mu Chenye pulled on his sleeve.

Mu Chenye pointed at Gu Yunlan: “Father, I’m hurt, wife saved me, no hurt anymore.”

Only then did Mu Kangsheng look at Gu Yunlan.

Originally, he was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Her father, Gu Xiude, was a man of virtue in name only, but he was actually a scoundrel, a master at flattering and ingratiating himself. If it weren’t for Ye’er being on the verge of death, he wouldn’t have thought of a rush marriage, and he wouldn’t have let a Gu family girl enter the house.

But now, Ye’er said that Gu Yunlan saved him. Whether it was true or not, now that Ye’er’s body was improving, he would be more polite to this daughter-in-law.

“Lan’er, if you have anything to say at home, tell your father.” Mu Kangsheng said with a kind smile: “Just control your temper a little, don’t be so quick to use your hands.”

But Gu Yunlan refused: “No, I dare not stay in your house!”

Mu Chenye panicked and grabbed Gu Yunlan’s sleeve, his eyes turning red: “Wife, don’t leave me.”

Gu Yunlan quickly stroked Mu Chenye’s hair.

Mu Kangsheng was stunned: “What do you mean?”

Gu Yunlan looked at Mu Wencheng and Mu Zixuan with mockery: “I just entered the house, and I’m about to be devoured. If I stay any longer, I’m afraid there won’t even be bones left!”

Before Mu Kangsheng could ask further, Mu Wencheng quickly stepped forward and said: “Father, it seems that the second brother is foolish and doesn’t understand things. He hurt his sister-in-law and scared her.”

He took two steps forward, a hypocritical smile on his face, his voice low but cold: “Control your mouth, or I’ll make sure you die without a burial.”

Threatening her? She, Gu Yunlan, was most afraid of threats! She was going to tear off Mu Wencheng’s hypocritical mask!

Gu Yunlan sneered: “Second brother, you’re really smooth-tongued. You can even make black look white.”

Before Mu Wencheng could react, Gu Yunlan knelt down in front of Mu Kangsheng: “Father, the second brother and the fourth brother tried to force your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law refused and hit the wall. In my daze, I saw them use the wedding veil to suffocate my husband! Your daughter-in-law has learned some medical skills. I couldn’t bear to see my husband so pitiful, so I took a chance and gave him acupuncture, which barely saved him!”

Mu Zixuan immediately cursed: “You bitch, don’t talk nonsense! You clearly attacked third brother because you didn’t want to give in to him!”

Mu Zixuan’s raised voice startled Mu Chenye. He quickly hid behind Gu Yunlan and timidly pulled on her collar.

Gu Yunlan quickly stroked his hair again, calming Mu Chenye down before coldly looking at Mu Zixuan: “If what you said is true, my husband wouldn’t be so close to me.”

She looked at Mu Kangsheng again: “Father, what I said is true. The bloodstains on my forehead and the wall are proof, the needle marks on my husband’s body are proof, and also…”

She pointed at Mu Wencheng: “The bite mark on his neck is from when he forced himself on me, and I bit him to break free. Although a woman’s reputation is more important than anything, I can’t swallow this. Even if I die, I must expose these two beasts with human faces and beastly hearts. Otherwise, they will attack my husband again!”

“Father…” Mu Wencheng tried to argue, but Mu Kangsheng pushed him aside and pulled open his collar.

Sure enough, there was a fresh bite mark with bloodstains.

Mu Wencheng’s face immediately turned white.

The Ministry of Justice was originally responsible for investigating cases. As the Minister of Justice, Mu Kangsheng was naturally experienced. After examining all the evidence Gu Yunlan mentioned, Mu Kangsheng’s face turned black: “You bastards, kneel down!”

Mu Zixuan was about to argue, but Gu Yunlan kicked him in the knee, causing him to fall to his knees in a sorry state.

“On the night of your brother’s wedding, you actually wanted to rape your brother’s wife and kill them both. How did I raise you two beasts?” Mu Kangsheng’s eyes were red with anger.

Mu Wencheng suddenly knelt down: “Father, this was not my intention. It was the fourth brother who insisted on making trouble. I didn’t expect things to go too far. It’s all my son’s fault!”

Mu Zixuan was stunned: “You damn…”

Mu Wencheng whispered something, and Mu Zixuan, with a look like he had eaten shit, could only pinch his nose and reluctantly admit it.

Gu Yunlan narrowed her eyes.

She had excellent hearing and heard what Mu Wencheng had threatened Mu Zixuan with.

“If you admit it, I’ll help you solve that matter.”

Mu Kangsheng had someone bring a whip.

“The fourth son will receive fifty lashes, the second son will receive thirty lashes. If you dare to attack Ye’er and Lan’er again, I will consider you two to be no sons of mine!”

Mu Kangsheng was furious and personally carried out the punishment. Naturally, he wouldn’t go easy on them. The first lash drew blood.

You should know that thirty lashes can cripple a person, and fifty can kill a person.

Mu Wencheng and Mu Zixuan were dragged to the courtyard for punishment. Soon, screams could be heard. When they reached thirty-six lashes, Mu Zixuan fainted. When the punishment was over, they were dragged away, both of them covered in blood.

Mu Kangsheng threw away the whip and looked at Gu Yunlan deeply: “Take good care of Ye’er.”

Then he turned and left.

Gu Yunlan raised her eyebrows.

The old man was quite ruthless with his own sons, but it also showed that he genuinely cared for Mu Chenye, not just for show.

Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly felt an itch on her hand.

She looked down and saw that Mu Chenye, at some point, had knelt down on one knee, holding her hand and gently licking it with his tongue.
