At that time, Marshal Ling’s leg was broken and needed rest; it was Madam Ling who painstakingly cared for him for three months before he could walk again.

Once his leg healed, the two developed feelings for each other.

Under the witness of the Ling family, the two got married.

After marriage, Marshal Ling took Madam Ling back to the troops, and Madam Ling, who had learned traditional Chinese medicine since childhood, became a little nurse in the team.

After they had Ling Changfeng, in the tumultuous era of war, they struggled to raise him until he was five, before arranging for someone to send him back to the Ling family.

Therefore, the straightforward Madam Ling despised the hypocrisy and two-faced nature of aristocratic ladies.

Nor did she enjoy associating with those noblewomen who covered their mouths even when they smiled.

However, since Yuan Chun married into the Marshal Mansion, Madam Ling liked her very much for being unpretentious, straightforward, and lively.

In the past life, after learning that Yuan Chun had an affair and got divorced by Ling Changfeng, Madam Ling was sad for quite some time.

"Young Marshal’s Wife, the Second Miss Chu’s maid arrived, saying there’s an urgent matter to discuss with you, right at the main gate."

Three days later, Yuan Chun, Madam Ling, Chunmei, and Xia He were playing cards when a soldier suddenly came in to report.

Yuan Chun didn’t lift her eyelids and replied, "Tell her that I’ve severed ties with Second Miss Chu, and not to come looking for me again. Also, let her convey to Second Miss Chu that those who commit too many injustices will meet their demise."

"What do you mean?" Madam Ling looked up, her face slightly darkened, "Chunchun, did that Chu Meng bully you?"

"Yes, Mother, if it weren’t for your daughter-in-law being clever, I would have been the one embarrassed that day." Yuan Chun didn’t intend to hide this matter from the Ling family.

Daring to plot against the Ling family’s daughter-in-law meant Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen should be prepared to face the consequences of Ling family’s revenge.

After all, she had just given birth to a son for Ling Changfeng, making her a significant contributor to the Ling family, and she was also dear to Ling Changfeng.

She was plotted against, and it was by Bai Yuechen, an enemy of the Ling family.

The Ling family certainly wouldn’t let them off.

Indeed, Madam Ling set aside the cards and urgently inquired about the situation.

Yuan Chun’s eyes reddened a bit, and she choked up, "Mother, you can know a person’s face, but not their heart. I never dreamed that Chu Meng would ally with Bai Yuechen to set me up."

She sniffled, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and continued, "That day, Chu Meng invited me to go out, and we encountered Bai Yuechen at Hengyuan Building. At the time, I didn’t know he was waiting there in advance; I thought it was a chance encounter. So, when Chu Meng suggested inviting Bai Yuechen to dine at Hundred Flavors House, I didn’t refuse. After all, the Gong Family and Bai family have long-standing ties, and I knew Bai Yuechen from childhood. We could be considered friends."

"During the meal, I suddenly felt unwell and wanted to go to the restroom. As I left the private room, I remembered my handbag was inside, which had tissues, so I returned to the room. I barely opened the door when I saw Bai Yuechen putting something into my water cup."

"At that time, Chu Meng was beside him saying, Yuechen brother, put in more. If it’s not enough, our efforts will be in vain."

"Right then, my mind went blank... I had been betrayed by Chu Meng. She actually teamed up with Bai Yuechen to harm me."

"Since she is heartless, I won’t be righteous. I, Gong Yuanchun, am not someone who repays grievances with kindness. So I went downstairs to call Zhang Tong, knocked the two of them out, and fed them that cup of water. At first, I didn’t know what kind of drug they used, I just wanted them to taste their own medicine, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a despicable drug."
