Ying Yufu subtly broke free from Ying Hengzhi's arm.

She looked at Ying Nanyao's outstretched hand, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.

"Mother, is Father trying to take my things away?"

She turned around and asked with an innocent look on her face.

A chill suddenly filled Ying Nanyao's eyes.

Shangguan Tang gently curved her lips and softly comforted her, "How could that be?"

What father in this world would try to take something from his daughter? If he did, he'd be laughed out of the room!

Shangguan Tang looked at Ying Nanyao: "My lord, don't you think so?"

Ying Nanyao's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.

He looked coldly at Shangguan Tang and her daughter Ying Yufu.

"Mother, why is Father looking at us with such a terrifying gaze?"

Ying Yufu asked innocently, then tears streamed down her face.

She cried as she said, "Mother, is it because Father and Aunt had an affair, and Aunt got pregnant with an illegitimate child? Father even wants to ask Aunt for an official title, so Father can't tolerate us anymore?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Shangguan Tang's eyes. "Fu'er, be good, don't be sad, you still have your mother..."

Liu Xueyan's expression changed instantly.

A flash of hatred crossed her eyes. How dare this little bitch say that the child in her belly was a bastard!

"shut up!"

Marquis Weiyuan's forehead veins bulged. "Ying Yufu, where did you learn such foul language? You even dare to speak ill of your elders. Is this how your mother taught you?"

Ying Yufu stopped crying and looked at Ying Nanyao with icy coldness.

"Yes, that's how my mother always taught me."

She taught me to be an upright person and to be true to my word.

My mother also taught me to speak and act in accordance with my conscience, and never to be hypocritical or greedy.

"Well said!"

Below, another loud cheer rang out from the Flying Tigers.

Ying Yufu glanced over subconsciously and caught sight of a figure with a large beard.

She curled her lips into a smile. Truly worthy of being a Flying Tiger soldier, so forthright.

Ying Nanyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if he were seeing this daughter for the first time.

But what followed was even greater anger.

She actually dared to mock him!

"You rebellious daughter, how dare you speak to your own father like that? Are you trying to defy the heavens?"

Liu Xueyan looked at Ying Yufu as if she were a madwoman.

She was originally going to say a few more words to provoke Ying Nanyao and teach Ying Yufu a lesson.

But now it seems that even without her saying it, Ying Nanyao is going to be furious.

Sure enough, the next moment Ying Nanyao roared, "Guards, take this rebellious daughter away and give her thirty lashes!"

Shangguan Tang's expression changed instantly.

Thirty strokes of the cane, and he's going to beat her again! He's trying to kill Fu'er!

Immediately, guards from the Marquis's residence approached Ying Yufu.

A hint of pleasure flashed in the eyes of Liu Xueyan and her daughter.

Thirty strokes of the cane would cripple Ying Yufu, even if she didn't die; her life would probably be ruined.

Ying Yufu merely glanced at Ying Nanyao indifferently.

Suddenly, she raised her voice and shouted, "Flying Tigers, listen to my command!"

"The Flying Tigers are here!" On the drill ground, thousands of Flying Tigers responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Ying Yufu said, "Today, my father wants to take the Flying Tiger Army from me and even wants to kill me for it. Even if we go to His Majesty to say this, we are in the right."

Faced with life and death, I have no choice but to protect myself. If anyone dares to touch me today, then let the Flying Tigers do the same to them.

"Yes, Flying Tigers, obey orders!"

"Touch him! Touch him!" the bearded man shouted, waving his arms.

Seeing the atmosphere had reached this point, the other Flying Tigers soldiers joined in, roaring, "Attack him! Attack him!"

In an instant, a burst of excited, murderous shouts rang out on the training ground. The mere sight of nearly a thousand pairs of murderous gazes caused Ying Nanyao and the others to change their expressions drastically.

Ying Nanyao's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't believe that Ying Yufu had actually said those words.

She actually... dared to threaten him, her father!

The guards from the Marquis's residence who were about to approach Ying Yufu were frozen in place, too terrified to move forward even an inch.

"You rebellious daughter, how dare you!"

Ying Nanyao never imagined that one day he would suffer a setback at the hands of this daughter he usually took for granted.

Ying Yufu said, "Father, I was just trying to save my life. I did nothing wrong, so naturally I can't let you beat me to death."

Ying Nanyao stared fiercely at Ying Yufu. Despite her soft and harmless appearance, the words she spoke were so cold and ruthless.

"It seems you really are just like your mother. Your usual well-behaved and sensible behavior is all an act. In what way can you compare to your cousin?"

No wonder the Second Prince…

His expression flickered, and he didn't continue.

Ying Yufu's dark, bright eyes were filled with coldness. Sure enough, they had known about the Second Prince and Ying Hengzhi for a long time.

"Of course I wouldn't dare compare myself to my cousin, after all, she's the child of your affair with your aunt!"

Ying Yufu made no attempt to hide her malice.

Ying Hengzhi's eyes widened suddenly, her face flushed red. She, she actually called her an illegitimate child, that was too awful.

"Second sister, how could you humiliate me like this?"

As you know, my second uncle is a descendant of two families, and his relationship with my mother is perfectly legitimate.

"Second sister, why are you speaking so harshly? Is it because of something the Second Prince said to you?"

As she said this, a hint of pride crept into her voice.

Yesterday, the Second Prince sent someone to deliver a letter to her, saying that he had told Ying Yufu that she could only be a concubine in the future.

The principal wife was to be this eldest daughter of the Marquis's family.

Isn't Ying Yufu's targeting of her precisely because she's indignant about this matter?

Hearing her daughter's retort, Liu Xueyan lowered her head, a smile appearing on her lips.

"So this is what the Marquis usually says to the eldest son's wife? No wonder the illegitimate son dares to speak so arrogantly in front of my daughter."

Shangguan Tang spoke calmly.

She looked at Ying Hengzhi and said, "Hengzhi, today I will tell you whether you are an illegitimate child or not."

"Shangguan, shut up!"

Ying Nanyao shouted sternly.

Shangguan Tang glanced at him indifferently and said, "When Ying Nanyao married me, he didn't say he wanted to inherit the family line."

It was only after I married into the family that he told me about his desire to continue the family line for the first branch of the family.

Although I was unwilling, it was too late. Your mother was already pregnant with your brother Chengting, which shows that he had an affair with your mother from the very beginning.

To please me, he promised that once your mother gave birth to Chengting, he would have completed his task of continuing the family line for the eldest son, and from then on, he and your mother would be completely innocent.

But then, they had you, and you were three months older than Fu'er. Tell me, what else could you be but an adulterer?

Not only you, but your brother is too, and the one your mother is carrying now is even more so.

Ying Hengzhi's face turned pale, and she burst into tears of grievance.

Ying Nanyao felt a wave of humiliation when he recalled those days.

If it weren't for the prestigious Duke Zhenguo Mansion behind Lady Shangguan, would he have humbled himself to marry her?

"Shangguan Tang, I gave birth to Zhi'er back then because Yan'er really wanted a daughter, so I agreed to her request."

"You not only don't understand Yan'er, but you also say these things to a child. Do you even act like an elder?"

"Ying Nanyao, what's your hurry? You've been having an affair with your own sister-in-law without any matchmaker, and you're still acting so arrogant?"

Shangguan Tang frowned, her face full of disgust.

"It's all my fault, sob sob, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have..."

Second sister-in-law, if you're angry, be angry with me, but you really shouldn't jeopardize my brother's future!

Liu Xueyan clutched her abdomen with one hand, her body swaying precariously.

Ying Nanyao stepped forward and helped Liu Xueyan up, his face full of concern. "Yan'er, what's wrong?"

Liu Xueyan nestled softly into Ying Nanyao's arms: "Fu'er is a girl, what does she need the Flying Tiger Army for?"

Second brother, I believe that your wife and Fu'er only did this out of spite!

After saying that, she closed her eyes and fainted in Ying Nanyao's arms.

"Yan'er!"

Ying Nanyao scooped Liu Xueyan up in his arms and coldly said to Shangguan Tang, "Shangguan Tang, you're making such a scene just to prevent me from getting an official title for Yan'er, aren't you? You vicious woman!"

Shangguan Tang returned the glance coldly: "Do as you please, Marquis, but the Flying Tiger Army is none of your business, an outsider!"

"That's right, our Flying Tigers are none of your business, an outsider!"

The bearded man echoed indignantly.

The other Flying Tigers echoed in unison, "No need for outsiders to worry about us!"

Ying Nanyao's face instantly turned ashen.

He picked up Liu Xueyan, turned around, and stormed off.

Seeing this, Ying Hengzhi quickly followed.

Before leaving, she turned back and gave Ying Yufu a deep look.

Ying Yufu, so what if you're smug now? Once you're in the Second Prince's residence, you'll still have to pay your respects to me every day.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully proven someone wrong. The system rewards you with 500 points.]

The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

500 points!

Ying Yufu took a deep breath. She had only gotten 10 points from beating Lin Zhong and Shi Qi before, but now she had 500 points!

[Little Crazy, is there really this much this time?]

Of course, host, you have taken back the Flying Tigers, and your and your mother's fates have changed dramatically. Similarly, as one gains, the other loses, and your scumbag father's losses are proportional.

Moreover, you not only reclaimed the Flying Tigers, but also infuriated your scumbag father to the point of breaking his defenses. This slap in the face was a resounding success!

Ying Yufu understood. [Little Dian, the greater the impact of a face-slapping moment, the more points the system rewards, right?]

"Yes, host, you're so smart. You truly are worthy of being my host," Little Madman said proudly.

Seeing that Ying Yufu stood there without saying a word, but her expression kept changing, Shangguan Tang guessed that it was probably related to the strange encounter her daughter had mentioned.

However, for some unknown reason, he seemed to be able to communicate with his daughter in his consciousness.

Shangguan Tang had no intention of spying; as long as it wouldn't harm her daughter, she didn't care about anything else.

Ying Yufu was afraid that her mother would worry, so she didn't talk to Xiao Dian too much and returned to Qiushui Pavilion with her mother.

Accompanying them back was Yu Li, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army.
