Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After leaving the reception hall, Mei Ji asked Su Xiaoxiao, “Did Cheng Lian participate in the matter of the King of the Southern Wilderness?”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Her reaction just now didn’t seem to be that she knew the secret of the mine. She probably just wanted to trap Cheng Sang in the abandoned mine. In the eyes of ordinary people, no one appears there. Cheng Sang was trapped there to die.”

Mei Ji clicked her tongue. “Cheng Lian is less than two years younger than Cheng Sang, right? She was only a girl around 14 years old back then, but she was already so vicious.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Some people are born bad. It has nothing to do with age.”

Mei Ji agreed. “That’s true. I’ve seen eight-year-old boys push their younger brothers into the water, and I’ve seen a ten-year-old girl encourage three-year-old children from the same village to jump into the river. Y-y-you… go back to the courtyard first. I still have something to do.”

Su Xiaoxiao knew what she was going to do and didn’t stop her.

In the flower hall, Xie Yunhe’s slap was so powerful that Cheng Lian fell to the ground.

Her hair was in a mess, and her pearl hairpin flew out.

Cheng Lian was stunned.

After a long while, she was brought out of her daze by the burning pain on her cheek.

She looked at Xie Yunhe in disbelief.

“You hit me?”

From the first time she went to the lake with her sister to see Xie Yunhe, her heart was no longer hers.

She tried her best to marry him, but just because she was a concubine’s daughter, she could not compete with the legitimate daughter of the family. Even the man she loved became her brother-in-law.

She was indignant!

She sought out her father and hoped that he would agree to her marriage with Xie Yunhe. Anyvvay, with her sister’s noble status, she could have any lived-in son-in-law she wanted.

Why did it have to be Xie Yunhe?

It was her sister who snatched her things first!

She was just claiming it back!

What was the big deal with the child?

In the end, didn’t she live and was saved by a nosy kind-hearted person?

Why did he still vent his anger on her?

Hadn’t she done enough for him all these years?

If her sister… if her sister had not gone crazy, did he think her sister would be willing to hand over the power of the Cheng family to him?

Only she would do that!

That was why she treated him so sincerely!

“How dare you scheme against me!”

Xie Yunhe squeezed out every word through gritted teeth.

He was really angry.

If Cheng Lian had not interfered and made him misunderstand Cheng Sang, he would not have ended up like this with Cheng Sang.

If his daughter was the heir of the Cheng family, why would he marry Cheng Lian?

Cheng Lian looked at his undisguised disgust and felt like a sharp knife was stabbing her heart.

Was 30 years of husband and wife relationship so fragile?

It was useless no matter how stubborn she was. She knew this man too well.

Once he lost his trust in you, he could fall out with you on the spot.

Back then, he had treated his sister like this. Now, it was her turn.

Cheng Lian wiped her tears and stood up with a bitter smile. “What did I scheme against you? If you believed me without a doubt, you shouldn’t have agreed to let me invite the Gu to acknowledge kinship! You were just being paranoid! If I said that Sister was having an affair with someone, you’ll believe me! You’d rather believe a sister-in-law born of a concubine than the person beside you. Who can you blame?”

“You still have the cheek to say that, evil woman!”

Xie Yunhe slapped her hard again!

As Cheng Lian fell to the table, the tea set fell to the ground.

“Mother!”

Cheng Qingxue rushed in.

Cheng Lian’s mouth was bleeding.

Her hair was completely messy and she was in a sorry state.

Cheng Qingxue’s heart ached.

She helped Cheng Lian up and cried as she looked at Xie Yunhe. “Dad, what are you doing?”

Ever since they were young, their parents had always respected each other and had never fought.

What happened today frightened her.

Xie Yunhe’s anger could not be calmed.

Cheng Qingxue felt unfamiliar with such a father.

At this moment, Mei Ji, who had already left, turned back.
