History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mulan left, Shen Lang was left in the study room alone.

He could not be grounded. He had to find a way to ask his father-in-law to return him his freedom.

That was because he had something significant to do in a few days.

However, when facing his father-in-law, he could not forcefully take measures. He had to plan appropriately.

At this moment, Xiao Bing ran in speedily and said, “Young master, bad news, you have to hide. The son of the Earl has brought people over to beat you up.”

Shen Lang was shocked.

The fatty Jin Mucong?

Come over to beat me up?

Xiao Bing said, “Young master, hurry up and hide. I will tell Madam.”

Shen Lang said, “No, don’t tell mother-in-law about this.”

Xiao Bing said, “Young master, the son of the Earl is a bastard. He doesn’t care about the things he does. If he beat you up, you will still suffer; even if the Earl punishes him in the future, it will be in vain.”

Shen Lang said, “Alright, I know what to do, you can head out first.”

“Young master, please don’t make foolish mistakes!”

Hearing that Shen Lang was not planning to hide, Xiao Bing stomped her foot.

“Hmph, you don’t appreciate my help; I shall not care about you then.” 1

Xiao Bing glared at Shen Lang and ran out. She decided to report to the Madam nevertheless.

The son of the Earl was a simple-minded man and did not know how to control himself. If he went overboard and injured Shen Lang, it would be terrible.

When Xiao Bing left, Shen Lang smiled.

If he could not deal with a fatty and had to hide, then he would not be able to continue hanging around in the Palace of the Earl.

Although he had not gotten in touch with Jin Mucong before, he knew him sufficiently well.

He was a simple-minded man and liked to boast.

It was effortless to deal with a person like him.

...

Shen Lang held his calligraphy brush and started writing names on the white wall.

All these names were written with style and looked intimidating.

After a few minutes, he heard a few sounds.

The voice could be heard before the people were seen.

“Shen Lang, come out now. If I don’t beat you until your teeth fall off, I shall forgo my surname.”

“As a mere live-in son-in-law, you are so brazen. How dare you bully the servant of the Palace of the Earl? Xiao Bing is like my sister; how dare you bully her? Do you want to die!?”

Jin Mucong growled. He wanted to vent his anger on Shen Lang.

It was all because of Shen Lang.

Soon after, Shen Lang saw a fatty run in angrily as he held a metal stick.

More than ten people were guarding outside the door.

The son of the Earl wanted to beat Shen Lang, but they did not dare to do so. However, they could guard the exits for the son of the Earl.

After entering, Jin Mucong saw Shen Lang writing words on the wall while standing on a tall stool. He was writing the names of many people.

“Shen Lang, what are you doing? Get down now!”

Shen Lang continued. He would definitely not go down since he would get beaten if he went down.

Shen Lang said, “I am writing names.”

There were indeed many names on the wall.

Tian Thirteen, Tian Fourteen, Tian Heng, Lin Mo, Xu Qianqian, Zhang Pu, Xu Guangyun...

Jin Mucong was curious and asked, “Why are you writing their names?”

Shen Lang said, “These are all my enemies. I am afraid that I will forget, so I am writing their names on the wall. This helps to remind me to remember these enemies and for me to take revenge.”

After that, Shen Lang took out a calligraphy brush dipped into red ink and drew a massive cross on the names of Tian Thirteen and Tian Fourteen. The cross was extremely eye-catching like blood.

“What do you mean by the cross?” asked the son of the Earl.

Shen Lang replied, “I have already settled my grudges with them.”

The son of the Earl was curious about how big the grudges were that Shen Lang had to write their names on the wall.

Shen Lang said, “I have to remind myself every single moment to take revenge. Every morning, I will recite their names three times. Before I sleep at night, I will recite their names three times too.”

The son of the Earl shuddered uncontrollably.

The grudge must be so intense for him to do that. He must hate them to his core.

“What grudges do you have with Tian Thirteen?” asked the son of the Earl, “did he kill your parents or do something to your wife?”

These were the only reasons that caused Shen Lang to be like that.

Jin Mucong had heard about Tian Thirteen and Tian Fourteen before. They were powerful people with excellent martial arts skills.

Shen Lang said coldly, “Tian Thirteen had once threatened me, and I asked Tian Heng to break his legs. His legs are now broken into fragments.”

Ah?!

The son of the Earl shuddered even more and said, “What about Tian Fourteen?”

Shen Lang snarled, “He is more detestable. My grudge with him is extremely deep. Not only did he threaten me, but he also pointed his finger at my head. I hate people who point their fingers at my head. Therefore, both his arms and legs were broken.”

“Ah...” Jin Mucong saw that his metal stick was pointing at Shen Lang and quickly kept it.

He was utterly astonished.

Just... just because of that...

“Shen Lang, you wrote their names on the wall and read them three times every morning and night...” 1

“Just how narrow-minded Shen Lang is?”

“Are you, are you a devil?”

“I have never seen someone who bears grudges like you.” 1

He saw Shen Lang look at himself from head to toe and moved his hand that was holding the calligraphy brush.

Jin Mucong asked, “Why did you leave such a huge space on the wall? Why don’t you fill the entire wall with all their names?”

Shen Lang smiled coldly. “We have long lives. Who knows if I will have more enemies? I kept this space so that I can add on to the list.”

The son of the Earl shuddered.

Tian Thirteen and Tian Fourteen merely threatened him and pointed their fingers at him and had their arms and legs broken.

“If I hit Shen Lang, won’t he kill me?”

Moreover, looking at Shen Lang’s posture, he seemed to be ready to write Jin Mucong’s name on the wall.

Shen Lang asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Oh, nothing, nothing...” The son of the Earl threw away his metal stick and smiled. “I am too full from dinner, so I came out for a stroll.”

Shen Lang said, “I thought I heard someone say they wanted to beat me up?”

“No, who shouted that? Who dares to beat the young master of the Palace of the Earl? Do they want to die!?” said the son of the Earl, “er... you can continue writing the names. I... I will take my leave first.”

Then, Jin Mucong fled. His movements were so agile that it was a complete contrast from his massive figure.

Shen Lang laughed uncontrollably. What a stupid guy.

...

After Jin Mucong ran out, he bumped into the person he was most afraid of.

His mother, the wife of the Earl.

“Well, you really dare to come and beat Shen Lang, huh?” said the wife of the Earl angrily. She pinched his ears and dragged him out. “If I don’t beat you to death today, then you are not my son.”

The son of the Earl shouted in pain, “Mom, mom, I didn’t beat him, I didn’t beat him yet.”

“Didn’t beat him yet, that means you were planning to?” said the wife of the Earl, “looks like I haven’t beaten you hard enough today. Rest assured, Jin Mucong, I will grant you your wish. Your brother-in-law just did the Palace of the Earl justice today and you want to beat him up? I don’t have a son like you.”

The son of the Earl said, “Mother, how did you come so quickly? How did you know?”

The wife of the Earl said, “Xiao Bing came and told me about it. I didn’t believe it initially, but now I know that you are so rebellious and daring.”

The son of the Earl cried.

“Xiao Bing, I came over to beat Shen Lang to do you justice.”

“However, you betrayed me.”

“I treat you like a sister, but you treat me like an enemy.”

Jin Mucong cried out loud.

“Heavens, what mistake did I make in the past; why do you have to punish me like this?”

He knew that he would probably be crippled for half a month after this beating.

He knew his mother well enough. Although she looked extremely graceful and gentle, Jin Mucong knew that there was a tiger within her. Moreover, she was skilled in martial arts.

If she said that she would beat him up until he was crippled, she meant it.

At this moment, Shen Lang walked out.

“Mother-in-law.”

The wife of the Earl changed her tone and expression immediately. Earlier on, she was as harsh as winter when talking to her son, but when talking to Shen Lang, she was like the warmth in the spring.

“Lang’er, rest assured, I will teach him a lesson for you.”

Shen Lang said, “He merely came to chat with me earlier on, We didn’t quarrel or fight. Please forgive him for this once.”

“Really?” said the wife of the Earl gently.

“Yes,” replied Shen Lang.

“Pa!”

The wife of the Earl slapped the back of Jin Mucong’s head; he almost fainted from the slap.

Shen Lang was wondering if the son of the Earl became stupid because of the beating of his mother.

“Look, your brother-in-law is so nice to you; he even helped you. You bastard,” said the wife of the Earl, “however, Lang’er, you don’t have to help him. I will have to beat him today to teach him a lesson. In the future, he will then know to respect you.”

After saying that, the wife of the Earl started beating her son up.

She slapped him non-stop.

Although she slapped him at the spots that had more flesh, Jin Mucong was trembling and was about to collapse from the beating.

Shen Lang became pained after watching it.

“Mother, please forgive me, please forgive me!”

Shen Lang went forward and stopped her. “Mother-in-law, please stop, take care of your body. How about allowing me to talk to him instead?”

The wife of the Earl instantly changed her gaze to a gentle gaze when she looked at Shen Lang.

“Lang’er, you are indeed filial and forgiving.”

Then, she said to Shen Lang, “Lang’er, you are his brother-in-law; help me punish him. If he doesn’t listen, you can hit him. I will go and sleep first.”

The wife of the Earl turned and left.

Jin Mucong heaved a sigh of relief.

He managed to survive; it was not easy!

Who knew...

The wife of the Earl suddenly turned and pinched Jin Mucong’s ear. “You dare to sigh? What do you mean? Are you trying to rebel?”

Shen Lang was about to cry after watching this. It must not have been easy for Jin Mucong to survive until today.
