The Earl's mother let go of Jin Mucong and said, "I shall forgive you this time because of Lang'er. If you dare to be disrespectful to your brother-in-law, I will make sure you are skinned and slaughtered."
When she left, she secretly hoped that her son was half as witty as Shen Lang.
…
"Brother-in-law, thank you so much for not killing me. I will remember it," Jin Mucong hit his chest and said, "in the future, if you need any help, just let me know. I am extremely loyal."
Shen Lang said, "Then tell me who triggered you to come and hit me?"
Jin Mucong shook his head and said, "No, no, I am not going to betray that person. I cannot say it even if you hit me. One has to be loyal."
Shen Lang looked at the unfortunate kid and finally understood why his father-in-law and mother-in-law could not resist the urge to beat their son.
If he had a son that was as stupid as him, he would also hit him twice or thrice a day to vent his anger.
