"Father's words are really interesting. The harmony of the family? Does he mean that the mistress only gives me less than one tael a month, but that includes all my food, clothing and other expenses?"

Or are you implying that you and she conspired to force me to relinquish this marriage in order to elevate your daughter's status?

Her smile was gentle, but her words were like a sharp sword, slicing through his hypocritical facade!

Sang Chengfeng never expected that his seemingly well-behaved and sensible daughter would change her attitude at such a moment. His face turned pale and then purple as he tried to use a scolding tone to pressure Sang Huan.

But Yan Xi, who stood beside him with a cold expression, left him speechless, unable to finish his sentence, and he could only stand there, feeling cold all over.

In a moment of desperation, Sang Chengfeng simply turned around and slapped Li across the face!

"You foolish woman! How dare you do such a thing to Huan'er behind my back! Kneel down and apologize right now!"

Sang Chengfeng was truly at his wit's end. He and the Li family had gone too far before, and Sang Huan's attitude clearly showed that she was unwilling to let things settle down.

He had worked hard for forty years to bring the Sang family to its current glory. If the other party continued to pursue the matter, he and the Sang family would be in deep trouble.

Given the current situation, we have no choice but to sacrifice someone to take the blame!

Without a doubt, the Li family, as the culprit, is the most suitable person to be included!

Sang Chengfeng slapped her across the face, shifted all the blame onto Li Shi, and then, without caring whether Li Shi lived or died, turned around and looked at Sang Huan with a helpless expression.

"Huan'er, what exactly did you mean by that? What did that foolish woman do to you? You are my own daughter. If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you!"

Seeing his actions, Sang Huan's smile deepened. She didn't reply, but silently focused her gaze on Li Shi, who was standing to the side.

"Since Father really wants to make the decision for me, then you must do as I ask."

Seeing that Sang Huan was willing to relent, Sang Chengfeng, who was feeling cold all over, finally saw a glimmer of hope, and a light appeared in his cloudy, bloodshot eyes.

"Of course, Huanhuan, you are my biological daughter. As the matriarch of the household, Madam Li has failed in her duty to raise her child and deserves to be punished!"

Seeing that Sang Huan only glanced in his direction, Sang Chengfeng had a sudden inspiration, and his previously excited face was now filled with helplessness and guilt.

"Huanhuan, your father has not taken good care of you all these years, but it was not intentional. It's just that your mother and I truly loved each other, and she passed away after giving birth to you. This was a huge blow to me, and I couldn't accept it, so I deliberately distanced myself from you to avoid bringing back those beautiful memories..."

As he spoke, he stared intently at Sang Huan's face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I didn't want to face you, so I handed everything in the manor over to Madam Li, instructing her to take good care of you. But I never imagined she would do something so heinous; it's all my fault!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, and glistening tears slid down from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

His heartbroken and self-reproachful appearance left the bewildered onlookers exchanging bewildered glances.

What a cunning old fox! Knowing that the original owner had never received love since childhood, he focused on winning her heart.

Unfortunately, not only did she not buy it, but some people were also angered by Sang Chengfeng's words and lost their composure.

Sang Chengfeng was lost in memories of his lost true love, completely oblivious to the fact that his wife, Madam Li, slowly raised her dark, brooding eyes. Her gaze, cold and menacing, seemed to be filled with poison as she stared at him!

"Huanhuan, I've been busy dealing with business matters these past few years, and it's my fault for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a father. After I've dealt with the Li family business, I'll give you the largest shop as compensation. Please don't..."

Sang Chengfeng was engrossed in his performance, focusing all his attention on Sang Huan. Just as he was getting into the swing of things, he suddenly heard the surrounding crowd scream!

"Get out of the way!"

"Be careful!"

"What? Get out of the way!" Sang Chengfeng was stunned for a moment. Seeing everyone around him looking at him in horror, he subconsciously turned around as well.

In that turn, he caught the gold hairpin that Li was about to stab at the back of his neck with his own neck!

The gold hairpin was smooth all over and had a sharp, pointed tip. Caught off guard, Sang Chengfeng was pierced straight into his neck by the hairpin!

A sharp pain struck, and Sang Chengfeng instinctively pushed the woman in front of him away!

He clutched his bleeding throat, his eyes filled with disbelief! The fear of impending death made him unable to think about the situation at hand, and his eyes were filled with resentment and cursing.

"Li Yulan! You bitch! How dare you lay a hand on me!"

Li's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred as she stared intently at the man before her. She had married Sang Chengfeng when she was sixteen, and the two had been together for over twenty years!

Li always believed that Sang Chengfeng had some marital affection for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a thousand taels of gold to propose to her! Nor would he have remained inactive after learning that she had drugged Ning Yue, who was about to give birth!

The real power behind the Sang family is Sang Chengfeng, whose spies are spread throughout every branch of the household. Madam Li does not believe that he would be completely unaware of her actions against Ning Ningyue!

Knowing about it but not taking any action to stop it, isn't that a form of tacit approval?

Li always believed that he acquiesced to her behavior after knowing everything because he loved her.

She thought that Sang Chengfeng didn't stop her in order to appease her and to tell her that his wife would always be only her.

It was this thought that kept Li family going until now.

When Sang Huan appeared just now, countless thoughts flashed through Li's mind about protecting her children, but she never thought about herself and Sang Chengfeng.

Li thought that the worst outcome for her and her husband was nothing more than imprisonment and exile.

But as long as their children are still helping to make arrangements, they will always have a chance.

Despite considering countless possibilities, Li Shi never expected that Sang Chengfeng would directly shift the blame onto her, intending to use her alone to protect the entire Sang family!

This feeling of betrayal broke Li's heart.

What broke her even more was that Sang Chengfeng actually said that the dead man was his true love!

Then what is she?!

She had been plotting for so long, wanting her daughter Sang Ling to replace Sang Huan as the Crown Prince's consort. Besides wanting her daughter to have a better life, the most important thing was to always keep Ning Yue ahead of her!

When Sang Chengfeng brought her into his mansion, he doted on her and didn't even look at her for two months. His heart and eyes were filled with that bitch!

As his wife, how could Li not feel jealous? In order not to make herself look too bad as the mistress of the house, she held back her anger and wanted to teach Ning Yue a lesson when Sang Chengfeng was not around.

Before he could even touch the other person, he was slapped to the ground by Sang Chengfeng, who had suddenly returned.

From that moment on, she vowed to make sure that wretched woman would never amount to anything, neither herself nor her bastard child!

In the end, Sang Chengfeng did tell her that the woman he loved most was still that bitch. How could Li Shi swallow her resentment?
