Tao Chengyin's anger erupts as he accuses his son, Taoming Hai, and his wife, Wan Banyan, of disrespecting the family. He chastises Taoming Hai for his perceived muddle-headedness, prioritizing his wife's ambitions over his own studies. Wan Banyan is distraught at the mention of divorce, while Taoming Hai tries to appease his father, admitting to feeling depressed by his sister-in-law's superior talent. Tao Chengyin urges his son to focus on his own future and maintain family harmony.

Tao Chengyin nodded, didn’t say anything, but looked at Wan Banyan.

Taoming Hai quickly tugged at Wan Banyan, signaling her to soften up quickly, and this matter could pass.

Wan Banyan still felt aggrieved in her heart, but obediently opened her mouth to say, "Father, your daughter-in-law won’t do this anymore in the future, rest assured."

Tao Chengyin just snorted.

Wan Banyan bit her teeth tightly in hatred.

Taoming Hai managed to put on a couple of smiling faces, and only then did Tao Chengyin allow them to rise. Once they got up, Tao Chengyin spoke to them again briefly, and then they were able to leave the study and return to their own courtyard.

As soon as they returned to the inner room, Wan Banyan lay on the bed crying, "Your father speaks so grandly, but whether this family will be yours or not is uncertain in the future!"

"Which family’s inheritance doesn’t go to the direct son? Unless you’re talking about families without a direct son, then I have nothing to say." On this point, Taoming Hai could think clearly.

"You!" Wan Banyan was infuriated and spoke without choosing her words, "Even if you are the direct son, what of it? Do you have my noble status as a Marquis’ daughter-in-law? Your father even asked you to divorce me, doesn’t he see why I married you? Wasn’t it because you promised to try to become a Martial Champion!"

Seeing Wan Banyan’s disdain for him, Taoming Hai was also annoyed: "I am striving for it, but I might not necessarily achieve it."

"You’re... you’re committing marriage fraud!"

"How can you say I’m committing marriage fraud? It was you who first fancied my skills, thinking I could possibly become a Martial Champion, and flirted with me. Perfectly, I also fancied your identity as a Marquis’ daughter-in-law, otherwise, would you think I would marry you?" Completely enraged, Taoming Hai no longer wanted to appease this wife.

"You you you you..." Wan Banyan was trembling with anger. "Have you regretted now? Want to marry that Huo Xiner!"

"I’m telling you, if she really becomes a Martial Champion, I would actually regret it!" His temper exploded, and at this moment Taoming Hai was not being submissive at all. "Besides throwing a lady’s temper, what else can you do? I could marry any woman, who would be more gentle and virtuous than you! If you really can’t stay with me anymore, I can write you a divorce letter now, so you can freely return home!"

Her husband had always been accommodating to her, but now he was furious, even speaking of divorcing her...

As a Marquis’ daughter-in-law, if she were to be sent back home in divorce, how could she face anyone in the future? It would make remarrying even more difficult!

Wan Banyan had no other option but to bear it, suppressing her lady-like temper, and quickly smiling at Taoming Hai, "Husband, it’s my fault. I’ve just married you not long, and haven’t adapted to the identity of a new daughter-in-law. Please give me more time; after a while, I will adapt."

How come this lady is also a Marquis’ daughter-in-law, Taoming Hai saw her being humble and small, and didn’t continue to be angry. He held her hand and said, "We’re husband and wife. You see how well Huo Xiner gets along with that sickly person; no matter how bad I am, I’m better than that sickly person, right? I also know marrying me has been unfair to you, but marry a chicken follow a chicken, marry a dog follow a dog; don’t treat this place like it’s not your home again."

"What husband said is very true." Wan Banyan had never been so submissive before; inside, she still felt uncomfortable, but she spoke in a flattering manner to Taoming Hai.

...

Over here Wan Banyan was feeling discontent, while on the other side, Su Xing was also not having a good time; however, her troubles came from her heartfelt concern for her husband.

Because her husband couldn’t bear the jolting, his face turned frighteningly pale, as though he was about to breathe his last at any moment.

After struggling till it was completely dark, Su Xing and Taoming Ye finally arrived at the Huo family.
