My Husband Wants to Ram the Pillar - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Ever since I said Cheng Xihuai wasn’t exactly up to par, he had started avoiding me at every turn.

But the servants in the mansion didn’t know the truth. They all thought I had fallen out of favor.

Combined with some of the strange things I’d been doing after I gained the ability to hear people’s thoughts, rumors even began spreading through the Cheng Mansion that I had gone mad from heartbreak.

The rumors grew more and more outrageous.

In fact, everyone was convinced that once Song Liu gave birth to her child, I would be driven out of the Cheng Mansion.

So I never expected that the person in the entire Cheng Family who protected me the most would turn out to be Cheng Xihuai’s younger brother, Cheng Jinyan.

He was the only member of the Cheng Family who pursued scholarly studies. Gentle as polished jade, warm and considerate.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t my type.

He couldn’t take a beating.

But I did know whose type he was.

Song Liu’s.

How did I find that out?

One day, Song Liu came to my room as usual to pay her respects.

She had just said, “Young Master Cheng has given me so many things lately…”

When Cheng Jinyan happened to walk in.

Naturally, Cheng Jinyan had heard all those rumors too.

So when he faced Song Liu now, his expression was far from pleasant.

He stood between the two of us. “Miss Song, regardless of what is going on between you and my elder brother, I, Cheng Jinyan, will only ever acknowledge Jiang Mian as my sister-in-law in this lifetime. Please conduct yourself with dignity!”

I was deeply moved. Clearly, all the affection I’d shown this boy hadn’t been wasted.

But beyond that, I was also a little worried.

After all, Song Liu had only been hired by Cheng Xihuai to make me jealous. She wasn’t actually his mistress. Wouldn’t saying that hurt her feelings?

But in the very next instant, I heard a fangirl-like voice ring out-

[Ahhh, he’s so commanding! So handsome!]

[Can he scold me a few more times?]

Where did this masochist come from?!

Drag her out!

Song Liu covered her face and left in tears.

She was crying so hard the corners of her eyes were twitching.

Wait, no! I narrowed my eyes-

Could she at least put some effort into the act? Who cries while making bedroom eyes at the same time?!

Cheng Jinyan sighed, then walked over and sat down in front of me.

“Sister-in-law, don’t be sad. I definitely won’t let my brother divorce you.”

I nodded, just about to express how touched I was, when-

[You two absolutely cannot divorce. My mother said she likes you as her daughter-in-law. If my brother dares divorce you, she’ll make me marry you instead, and I definitely can’t beat you in a fight…]

“Ah!” Cheng Jinyan landed flat on his rear on the floor.

The elegant, refined young gentleman instantly looked utterly disheveled.

“Sister-in-law, why did you kick my stool?!”

I folded my arms, my face expressionless. “Overcome by grief. Gone mad.”

My father was right after all.

Not a single person surnamed Cheng was any good!
