Tonight was destined to be an empty night, and Lin Yuan would not come back.
Cheng drawing didn't expect him to come back. What kind of expectation could a married couple have for the future?
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she scolded Lin Yuan in the living room. However, no matter how fierce she scolded him, he was still her son. After that, she could only go back to her room to wash up and sleep.

Cheng drawing thought that he would sleep all night until dawn, but he didn't expect that he would sleep until dawn.
If Lin Ting hadn't barged into her bedroom and pulled her out of the bed, she wouldn't have woken up.
In a daze, she saw Lin Ting waving the newspaper in her hand and shouting in a shrill voice, "Cheng drawing! You shameless woman! How could you do such a shameful thing?!"
"She did something ugly?" Cheng drawing was a little confused.
But Lin Ting slammed the newspaper in her hand on her face and continued to roar, "If you want a man, you can tell me! Why did you seduce him? Why was it him...!"
Cheng drawing was baffled by her roar. He picked up the newspaper and read it. He was shocked by what was written on it.

This city newspaper was used to describe the underground love affair between her and Shen Muchen on the whole page. The title was fiery, and the content was mean. Every sentence pointed to her loyalty to marriage. Below the content, there were several pictures to prove the authenticity of the content. There were pictures of Shen Muchen holding her in his arms, gently wiping tears for her, and even a kiss photo taken with a dislocated angle.
Judging from the dress and location of the photo, it was taken when she was intercepted by the kidnappers last night and Shen Muchen helped her get away.
Such a large amount of money was really boring.
She threw the newspaper back to Lin Ting's hand and said calmly, "I think you should ask your brother why."

She and Lin Yuan were not well-known celebrities, and Lin's Group was not a super financial group. Which newspaper office's reporter would be so bored as to take photos of her private life? They even spent such a large page to hurt her in the report.
It must have been Lin Yuan who had bribed the reporters of the newspaper office and paid a high price to buy the news board. In order to get a divorce, what could Lin Yuan not do?
"What do you mean?" Lin Ting asked, gnashing her teeth.
"I said, if you want to know the reason, go and find your brother." She waved her arm and pointed in the direction of the door. "I don't want to get up yet. Can I invite you out?"
"Do you really want to ask me the reason?" Just as Cheng drawing was about to lie back in bed, a soft voice suddenly sounded from the bedroom door, followed by Lin Yuan's figure walking in.
Lin Yuan glanced at the newspaper in Lin Ting's hand and curled his lips into a cold smile. "Did I ask you to hug Shen Muchen? Did I ask him to wipe your tears? Did I ask him to kiss you again?"
"You're... shameless." Cheng drawing was speechless, but Lin Yuan laughed even more happily.
"Cheng drawing! You want to steal my man? I won't let you go!" Lin Ting angrily threw down this sentence, turned around, and walked out.
After Lin Ting left, the bedroom instantly became quiet.
Lin Yuan took a few steps towards the side of the bed. He leaned over and lifted her lower jaw with his palm. "Dear, I told you a long time ago that you can't defeat me."
"So what? Anyway, I won't divorce." She looked at him and stubbornly guarded him.
"I'm afraid it's not up to you this time." Lin Yuan shook her off all of a sudden and stood up straight. "Take a good shower. There's a good show waiting for you downstairs."
After saying that, Lin Yuan turned around and walked out quickly.
Staring at his back as he left, Cheng drawing carefully savored the meaning of his words.
Downstairs? If one listened carefully, one could hear something unusual downstairs.
At this moment, a little maid walked into her bedroom. Standing a few steps away from her, she said with a poker face, "Young Madam, Madam asked you to go downstairs immediately."
Cheng drawing's heart tightened. It was a lie to say that he was not afraid.
She quickly tidied up, walked out of the bedroom with anxiety, and came to the ladder.
There seemed to be a good show going on downstairs. All the elders of the Lin family were either sitting or standing in the living room, while the Lin family was a big family, so the scene was naturally spectacular.
When Cheng drawing walked down the spiral staircase, he saw Lin Yuan's complacent expression, the disappointment on Mrs. Lin's face, and Lin Ting's eager eyes.
Cheng drawing tried his best to remain calm. After asking everyone, he walked to Lin Yuan's side and stood still.
"Bitch, stay away from me." Lin Yuan took a step to the side in disgust.
Mrs. Lin sighed, stood up from the sofa, and walked to Cheng drawing. She stared at her and said, "Kneel down in front of all the elders and say that you are sorry for the ancestors of the Lin family. From now on, you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lin family."
Cheng drawing looked at Mrs. Lin in astonishment. "Even Mrs. Lin wants to drive me away?"
"Mom, listen to me explain it to you." Cheng drawing said anxiously, "What is written in the newspaper is not true. I was framed by someone, just like the last time..."
"Mom, do you think it's useful?" Mrs. Lin interrupted her, her eyes full of helplessness.
Lin Fengzhi, Lin Yuan's aunt, said angrily, "The truth is in front of us. There are also photos to prove it."
"That's right. Hurry up and kneel down!" Lin Ting pulled Cheng drawing to the spirit tablet in front of the Lin Family's patriarch and shouted angrily, "Kneel down quickly."
The spirit tablet of the Lin family's patriarch was placed in the northeast corner of the living room. When Cheng drawing was pushed in front of the spirit tablet, his heart was instantly filled with fear. However, she didn't panic and her face was full of stubbornness. "I didn't betray the Lin family. Why should I kneel?"
"You don't know how to repent!" Lin Yuan's oldest uncle slammed his crutch heavily onto the ground, surging with anger.
"Are you going to deny it after stealing someone? Kneel down!" A few slightly younger women stepped forward and forced Cheng drawing to the ground.
Cheng drawing instinctively began to struggle, but she, who was weak and weak, was no match for them. She struggled and said angrily, "I didn't cheat! I didn't betray the Lin family. It was Lin Yuan who did it to me. It was Lin Yuan who cheated. Why did you force me to admit that there was no mistake? Are you elders like this?"
"Miss Cheng, you're too cute, aren't you?" Lin Fengzhi sneered and said, "Lin Yuan's surname is Lin, and he's a direct descendant of the Lin family. Even if he had an affair a thousand times, he's still a descendant of the Lin family. Can an outsider like you compare with him?"
Cheng drawing's heart instantly felt cold.
Yes, this was the Lin Family. How could she compare herself to Lin Yuan? No matter how wrong Lin Yuan was, it was still right!
"Forget it, don't bother. Just drive her out," Mrs. Lin said.
Mrs. Lin turned to Lin Yuan's uncle and said, "Tianwang, you are in poor health. You'd better go back and have a rest. Let us deal with it here."
"Just do as you say and drive her out directly. Don't let her enter this house again in the future." After everyone finished speaking, they turned and walked to the door.
"We can't let her off so easily!" Just as everyone was about to take action, Lin Ting suddenly shouted.
"Lin Ting." Mrs. Lin glared at Lin Ting as a warning.
Although Cheng drawing was reported, Mrs. Lin still believed that the Heavenly Painting was innocent. She had seen the character of the Heavenly Painting in the past three years. She couldn't make the decision to keep her as the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, but she should make it easier for her.
Because the hero in the newspaper was Shen Muxi, Lin Ting, who was full of anger, naturally would not let it go so easily. She took a few steps forward and took the leather whip that no one had touched for a long time from the candle. "According to the family rules of the Lin family, anyone who makes a big mistake must be whipped 30 times!"
"Why did you move out a hundred years ago? Put the whip back!"
"Mom, when I was a child, I ran away from home for such a small thing. Dad beat me half to death with this whip. Now Cheng drawing has done such a shameful thing, but you still protect her?"
"I..." Mrs. Lin was speechless.
"Aunt, you have to judge for me." Lin Ting turned to Lin Fengzhi, who was next to her, and pouted.
Lin Fengzhi had always doted on her. Now that she saw the pleading look in her eyes, she naturally had to help. She opened her mouth to Mrs. Lin and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you can't be partial."
Cheng drawing looked at the whip in Lin Ting's hand and felt a chill in his heart.
She knew this whip. It was a family punishment passed down from the Lin family's ancestors for hundreds of years. However, it did not work in this era. This whip had become a decoration. Now Lin Ting took it down, obviously, she wanted to take revenge on her.
Mrs. Lin had nothing to say.
Lin Ting handed the whip to Lin Yuan and said eagerly, "Brother, she's your wife. You should be in charge of carrying out the family discipline."
Cheng drawing knew that he hated him to the core, but he still looked at Lin Yuan for help.
There was still a little hope in her heart. She hoped that Lin Yuan could regain his conscience and help her avoid the punishment that should not have belonged to her. But what she met was Lin Yuan's cold eyes, and what she heard was his ruthless words: "If I beat her, I will think that my hands are dirty."
After that, he left, leaving her the sound of the engine of the Qi car moving further and further away.
"Then I'll do it for you." Lin Ting smiled coldly at the painting and swung her whip at Cheng drawing. The painting screamed and prostrated on the ground.
With just a whip, she was already shivering in pain.
After all, it was not the ancient times. Lin Fengzhi couldn't stand it. She held Mrs. Lin, who couldn't see it, and went upstairs.
In order to show that she was selfless, Lin Ting motioned for several servants to help Cheng drawing up. She looked at her coldly and said, "If you are willing to admit that you have an affair with Shen Muxi and apologize sincerely to the ancestors of the Lin family, I will let you go."
Lin Ting knew the character of Heavenly Painting. She was stubborn and tenacious and would never admit that she was cheating.
However, Cheng drawing did not disappoint her. Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he also retorted, "I didn't—"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Lin Ting waved her whip again and used all her strength.
No matter how much she loved Shen Muchen, how much she hated Cheng drawing.
It was said that Shen Muchen loved a woman deeply and there was no distractions in his love. She didn't believe that she would seize all the opportunities to hit on him and show herself in front of him. However, his eyes never really fell on her, and he didn't look at her for a moment.
When she thought the rumors were true, he held Cheng drawing's hand and reported to her. He hugged her with a gentle face and wiped her tears.
"What does Cheng drawing have? Family background, appearance, and figure...?"
She had nothing but a failed marriage!
What right did she have?
Cheng drawing didn't know how many lashes he had suffered. He only knew that the whip was like a burning fire on his body, and he was in extreme pain. When she was about to faint from the pain, Lin Ting finally stopped. She gasped and sneered in her ear, "Let's see how you can seduce Young Master Murong in the future."
Cheng drawing used his last bit of strength and struggled to raise his bloody face to smile back at her. "After killing me, Young Master Murong still won't love you..."
"Bitch...!" Lin Ting shouted and was ready to give her a slap.
Cheng drawing lowered his head and was the first to lose consciousness.
Cheng drawing didn't know what he had gone through and how long he had been in a coma. When he woke up from the pain, it was already night.
A room full of strangeness and the smell of medicine surrounded her, giving her an illusion that she had traveled through time and space.
This place was not like a hospital, nor was it like the Lin family. It was an exquisite and elegant room. The pain made her unable to explore more truth. She lay back on the bed and could not move.
She thought that there must be whip wounds all over her body, because there was a burning pain everywhere.
"Are you awake?" A pleasant and familiar male voice came, and then what came into her eyes was a slender man's body.
A man...?
Cheng drawing looked up with difficulty and his eyes fell on a handsome face with a faint smile.
"Why are you here?" She stared at him with hostility.
It was all thanks to this man that she ended up like this today!
"Young Madam Lin, this is my home."
"Your home? Why am I here?"
"What do you think?"
"If I knew, would I ask you again?" Cheng drawing's face was full of anger.
"You sent me a message for help. Have you forgotten?"
"Should I send you a message for help?"
"Do you mean that you don't know about it? Or are you sick?" Shen Muxi looked at her confused face, took her mobile phone from the table, and pressed the button to show her.
The content of the message said, "Please come to the Lin family to save me..."
The number showed Cheng drawing's cell phone.
Cheng drawing stared at his phone in a daze. His heart was filled with suspicion. When did she send such a message to Shen Muchen? Why didn't she have any impression of him at all?
She remembered that she had fainted under Lin Ting's whip. How could she have the strength to send him a message?
Could it be that he was really confused from the pain? Had he forgotten who he had sent a message to?
"It's not shameful to be abused like this and ask for help. Don't be embarrassed to admit it?" Shen Muxi looked at her with a mocking smile.
He was not a person who could meddle in other people's business, but when he received this message, he drove to the Lin family without saying a word. When he saw Cheng drawing covered in blood at the gate of the Lin family's house, he took her back to this apartment without saying a word and invited the family doctor of the Shen family for her.
The reason why he helped her was that her face, which was extremely similar to Yang Henxin's, could affect his heartstrings. That was all.
"Why did you help me?" Cheng drawing looked at him and asked.
She and he just met by chance. No, it was just a one-night stand. They were no different from many passionate men and women playing games outside. After that, they separated and went their separate ways.
And the man in front of her, who seemed to have no lack of women, not only paid 200,000 yuan for her, but also reached out to help her when she was thrown out of the Lin family and had no choice.
If she was a beautiful woman with a noble status, she would think that he had something to do with her. But she had nothing but the identity of an abandoned woman from a rich and powerful family.
"You don't need to ask? Of course, I fell in love with you." Shen Muxi leaned over, and his breath brushed against her nose. At such a close distance, his eyes were black and crystal clear, and he smiled sweetly.
Cheng drawing instinctively moved his face back and looked at him in astonishment.
What did he just say? Did he say that he fell in love with her?
While she was in a daze, Shen Muxi burst into laughter. He raised his hand and patted her on the head. "What are you thinking? You don't even have this little entertainment spirit. No wonder Young Master Lin wants to throw you out."
His slap and smile made Cheng drawing a lot of unhappy.
More importantly, he had an entertainment spirit. He lied to her and thought that it was true. Although he didn't pat her on the head very hard, it hurt her wound. What made her most uncomfortable was that he didn't mention Childe Lin at this time.
"Are you angry?" Shen Muxi looked at her annoyed face and said with a smile.
"Young Master Murong, can I ask you to throw me on the street?" Yan Ruhua looked at him and gnashed her teeth.
"Look, you really don't have any entertainment spirit." Shen Mu Xi stood up straight and shrugged. "If you really don't want to see me, I'll go."
As he spoke, he bent down again and looked at her, saying, "There is a guardian guild here to take care of you. Remember to eat more when the porridge is cooked. You can continue to fight for your marriage until you are well. As for why I want to help you... Don't let your imagination run wild. I don't like you for the time being."
After that, Shen Mu Xi gave her a charming smile and turned to go out.
Watching him walk out of the bedroom, Cheng drawing's mouth seemed to be stuffed with an egg, and he couldn't speak.
