26: Even if the sky falls, your husband will hold it up.

Logically, Huangfu Yunyan was also a Cultivator, so Jiang Shuwan shouldn't have been able to hit her.

In fact, Huangfu Yunyan did use her arm to block.

However, her strength paled in comparison to Jiang Shuwan's, and she couldn't block it at all.

The moment she blocked, Jiang Shuwan's other hand struck.

The sound of the slap was incredibly loud.

A striking handprint now appeared on Huangfu Yunyan's face.

Her pupils shrank in shock, and she looked at Jiang Shuwan in disbelief.

"You actually dare to hit me?"

"And for a lowly Maidservant, no less?"

Jiang Shuwan's gaze turned cold.

"Watch your language. First of all, since I've already hit you, there is no 'dare' or 'not dare'. Furthermore..."

She looked at Chun Tao and said word by word.

"She is not some lowly Maidservant; she is my family."

"If you dare touch her again, I will kill you!"

"You!"

Huangfu Yunyan was completely stunned.

This Young Madam before her didn't follow the usual script at all.

Usually, when she insulted someone, they would at most retort with words, but this woman actually resorted to physical violence.

Her words were also ruthless enough.

After all, this was no simple matter.

Strictly speaking, this incident could directly trigger a conflict between the Huangfu Family and the Feng Family.

Feng Ming stood outside, taking everything in, and was very satisfied with Jiang Shuwan's reaction.

His woman had to be someone who wasn't afraid when trouble arose.

Feng Da's mouth hung open for a long time, unable to close.

"Second Young Master, the Madam is so powerful."

"I truly admire her so much; I'm so moved."

Feng Ming patted Feng Da's shoulder. "Don't worry. Since the Madam can protect Chun Tao, she will surely protect you as well. You are the same to her."

Huangfu Yunyan snapped back to reality and questioned sharply, "Jiang Shuwan, do you want to start a war between the Huangfu Family and the Feng Family?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan's face was cold. "Every debt has its debtor. I, Jiang Shuwan, am the one who hit you today. If you want revenge, come directly to me, or the Jiang Family."

Huangfu Yunyan was choked with rage.

Trouble the Jiang Family?

She wanted to, but did she dare?

Unless she didn't want to live anymore.

The entire Liang Province was the Jiang Family's territory.

Even if the Huangfu Family had some power in Qingyang City, they didn't have the qualifications to challenge the Jiang Family.

The Huangfu Family going up against the Jiang Family was no different from an ant trying to topple an elephant.

Anyone from the Jiang Family could wipe out their Huangfu Family in minutes.

They might not even need to send anyone; just a word to the City Lord of Qingyang City would suffice.

The City Lord of Qingyang City would be forced by the pressure to destroy the Huangfu Family.

He might even use the Huangfu Family as a tribute to prove his loyalty so he could work for the Jiang Family in the future.

Huangfu Yunyan was furious, but she quickly calmed down and laughed instead of being angry.

"Jiang Shuwan, the Jiang Family behind you is indeed powerful, but so what? You are just a concubines daughter. What status can you have in the Jiang Family? Would they really deal with my Huangfu Family for your sake?"

"Besides, a married daughter is like spilt water. Now that you've married into the Feng Family, what you do has nothing to do with the Jiang Family. Instead, the Feng Family will pay the price for this."

At this point, Huangfu Yunyan's voice grew colder.

"This matter isn't over between us. Just you wait; I'll return this slap sooner or later!"

Huangfu Yunyan left behind these harsh words and prepared to leave.

Jiang Shuwan frowned. This woman wasn't stupid.

Even though she had brought up the Jiang Family to intimidate her...

...she could still react so quickly and pin the blame on the Feng Family.

Before she was married, it was true that no matter what trouble she caused, the Jiang Family would back her up.

But now, she was already a daughter-in-law of the Feng Family.

After this slap, it was truly unlikely that she could keep the Feng Family out of it.

Jiang Shuwan's resolve wavered, and she deeply regretted being so impulsive and causing trouble for her husband.

If they could have just endured it, it would have been fine.

Now that the Huangfu Family had something against her, what if they came to retaliate?

The Feng Family certainly wouldn't be able to withstand the experts of the Huangfu Family.

Moreover, they were backed by the Huangfu Family of Qingyang City.

They would have a legitimate reason, and the Feng Family would likely... Jiang Shuwan's heart grew more and more chaotic the more she thought about it.

She didn't even dare to think further.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

At the door, Feng Ming had already blocked Huangfu Yunyan's path.

"Who are you to dare block me?"

Huangfu Yunyan had just been slapped and was full of rage.

Seeing Feng Ming, she was momentarily dazed by his appearance, but she was mostly impatient.

"I am Feng Ming."

Feng Ming introduced himself calmly.

"Feng Ming?" Huangfu Yunyan mulled over the name, finding it somewhat unfamiliar.

This wasn't her fault; Feng Ming's legs had been crippled before, and he had lived in seclusion.

If not for him marrying his sister-in-law on behalf of his brother this time, even fewer people in Liumian Prefecture would know of him.

"I am Jiang Shuwan's husband. Her attitude toward you just now is the attitude of my Feng Family. If the Huangfu Family isn't afraid of offending both the Feng Family and the Jiang Family at the same time, then by all means, come at us."

After saying that, he walked straight past Huangfu Yunyan into the shop.

Seeing Feng Ming appear at the door, Jiang Shuwan looked delighted.

"Husband!"

As soon as he entered the shop, Feng Ming saw Jiang Shuwan's pitiful appearance and hurried forward to comfort her.

"Were you frightened? Come, let your husband give you a hug!"

Feng Ming took Jiang Shuwan into his arms, gently soothing her.

As for what others thought, he didn't care at all.

Leaning in Feng Ming's arms, she felt his strong and powerful heartbeat; she felt safe, yet also aggrieved and guilty.

"Husband, I'm sorry! I've caused trouble for you. I couldn't hold back just now and hit someone from the Huangfu Family."

"She definitely won't let this go. The Feng Family will be dragged into this because of me; I am truly a sinner of the Feng Family."

While leaning in Feng Ming's arms and weeping, Jiang Shuwan explained the situation.

Chun Tao also explained from the side, even kneeling on the ground to beg for punishment.

"Second Young Master, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It's all my fault."

Feng Ming gestured for Feng Da to help Chun Tao up.

"Both of you, stop blaming yourselves. Neither of you did anything wrong in this matter."

Feng Ming wiped the tears from Jiang Shuwan's face and said distressedly.

"Husband?"

"Young Master!"

Jiang Shuwan and her Maidservant, Chun Tao, were both bewildered.

Feng Ming smiled. "I've been watching since Huangfu Yunyan entered the shop. Shuwan, you did very well. You weren't wrong at all."

"On the contrary, your husband wants to praise you."

Having said that, he leaned down and gave her a kiss.

Jiang Shuwan's face instantly turned bright red.

"Husband, there are so many people here. It's so embarrassing."

Feng Ming chuckled. "I'm doting on my own wife, what is there to be afraid of?"

After being coaxed for a while, Jiang Shuwan's emotions stabilized, but she still looked worried.

"Husband, now that we've offended the Huangfu Family, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, isn't your husband right here?"

"Do whatever you want to do. Even if the sky falls, your husband will hold it up for you!"

"Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I can patch it up for you!"

"Husband!"

Jiang Shuwan looked at Feng Ming, and tears began to flow once again.

Feng Ming's heartfelt love and encouragement made Jiang Shuwan's heart belong completely to him.

Her favorability toward him directly reached the maximum value.

The System's voice kept ringing in his mind.
