Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

At the Marquis of Anqing's residence, after reading the letter, the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her face turning ashen.

Her eyes were fixed on the front, her lips trembling, it was hard to tell whether it was regret or anger.

Xu Lingyi, who was kneeling and crying at the lower end, was startled. Her face turned pale, and she looked pitifully at the person above.

"Grandmother, what's wrong?" she asked timidly.

Someone just delivered a letter to my grandmother, and she flew into a rage after reading it.

"Get the car ready, I'm heading out!"

The old lady of Anqing Marquis got up and walked outside.

His personal maid, Granny Xu, also saw some of the contents of the letter. Her face showed a hint of horror, and she quickly followed after him.

"Grandmother, please do me justice! My cousin, he... he..."

Seeing that the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing was about to leave, Xu Lingyi gritted her teeth and called out.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at her, her eyes sharp and stern.

Xu Lingyi's unspoken words were stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered or swallowed.

"Lingyi, you are the only legitimate heir of the Marquis of Anqing's mansion. You should know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

Xu Lingyi nodded through her tears, "Grandmother, I understand."

She swallowed those hurtful words back.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis ignored her and left in a hurry.

Xu Lingyi collapsed to the ground, her teeth clenched, tears streaming down her face.

Why? She was clearly her grandmother's granddaughter, yet her grandmother always protected that Huang Zicong.

As a result, the other party became increasingly unscrupulous and began to grope her.

"Miss, please get up. The old lady has already left. It's time for you to go back and take your medicine."

At this moment, the maid Xiao Tao stepped forward and reached out to help Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi was taken aback. "I'm not sick, why do I have to drink herbal medicine every day?"

Xiao Tao said expressionlessly, "Miss, the old lady is just showing you affection. That medicine will be good for your health."

Xu Lingyi felt wronged and angry. She glared at Xiao Tao, pushed her away, and ran outside.

She hasn't gone out to play in a long time.

Grandmother didn't forbid her from going out to play, but when she did, Huang Zicong had to accompany her.

She disliked Wong Chi-chung and didn't want to go out.

But today, she insisted on going out by herself.

Xiao Tao's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, "Someone come quick! Miss has run away!"

Instantly, several guards rushed out from all directions and chased after Xu Lingyi.

Jishengtang.

A magnificent carriage slowly came to a stop at the entrance.

Besides the coachman, the group also included Granny Xu and eight fierce-looking guards.

Granny Xu reached out and helped the old lady of Anqing Marquis down from the carriage.

A distinguished guest arrived at the door, and the manager of Jishetang hurriedly came out to greet him.

The shopkeeper, with his white hair and beard, bowed respectfully upon seeing the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis stared at him sharply and asked, "Does your Jishetang have a young lady named Xu Ningxiang living there?"

The shopkeeper hesitated, "This..."

The old lady of Anqing Marquis's face darkened, and she glared sharply at them: "What is this? Does it exist or not?"

The shopkeeper dared not conceal the truth and said, "Yes, there is, but..."

"What do you mean, 'just'? Go inside and find it!" The old lady of Anqing Marquis gave an extremely domineering command.

The eight guards immediately rushed into Jishetang.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he hurriedly went to stop him, "No, no, you mustn't..."

"Impossible? I think your Jishetang doesn't want to have a foothold in the capital anymore. You even dare to stop my old lady, the wife of the Marquis of Anqing?"

"It was Xu Mama who said sternly."

The shopkeeper dared not stop them any longer, and they entered in such an overbearing manner.

In room C of room A, Xu Ningxiang had just finished a bowl of soup noodles and was about to lie down for a nap.

All she does now is eat and sleep.

Although she was physically strong, she was still seriously injured.

However, before she could fully lie down, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

The first one was the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing.

Xu Ningxiang and the old lady of Anqing Marquis looked at each other.

Xu Mama, who was following closely behind the old lady of Anqing Marquis, also widened her eyes in surprise when she saw Xu Ningxiang.

"Young Miss, you're really not dead!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Ningxiang sat up straight.

She said calmly, "I'm not dead. You're all disappointed, aren't you?"

Granny Xu quickly lowered her head.

"Ningxiang, what are you saying!" The old lady of Anqing Marquis spoke sternly, like a grandmother who truly loved her juniors.

Xu Ningxiang looked at her, her eyes flickering slightly, remembering that she used to look just like this.

So much so that she once thought that she truly loved her.

But after experiencing life and death, she realized how vicious the old woman was.

After learning that she was infertile, she wanted to kill herself to make way for her "real granddaughter".

She ordered her men to shoot two arrows in the back, then put her in a carriage and pushed the carriage off the cliff.

Even so, she was still not at ease, so she sent people to pretend to search for her body in the mountains and forests, and chased her for three days and three nights.

She gradually gave up after failing to find her remains.

The old lady of Anqing Marquis walked quickly to the bedside and sat down on Xu Ningxiang's bed.

Her eyes reddened, and she wiped away her tears, asking, "Ningxiang, Grandmother thought you were dead, that she would never see you again. But since you're not dead, why haven't you come home these past few days?"

Outside the door, as soon as Doctor Hu and his assistant approached, they were stopped by the guards of the Marquis of Anqing's residence.

Dr. Hu and his assistant dared not confront them directly, so they turned and left.

When they arrived at the outer hall, they saw the shopkeeper pacing anxiously.

"What should we do? This Miss Xu is someone even His Highness the Crown Prince has visited. If something happens to her, how are we supposed to explain ourselves when Miss Ying comes to question us?"

Dr. Hu took a deep breath and said to the servant beside him, "Go to the Mu residence and tell Miss Ying this news. Be quick."

The waiter had the same idea, so he nodded and quickly ran away.

The shopkeeper was extremely anxious. He exchanged a glance with Doctor Hu and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Inside the door.

Xu Ningxiang said slowly, "Home? My parents are dead, where do I have a home?"

The old lady of Anqing looked at her with dark eyes, "Ningxiang, you seem to harbor resentment towards your grandmother!"

Xu Ningxiang smiled and looked at her scrutinizingly. "Madam Xu is really interesting. Why waste your time here with someone as worthless as me?"

Surely I can't have become someone my grandmother finds valuable again?

The old lady of Anqing Marquis's expression froze; she hadn't expected Xu Ningxiang to be so direct.

Her expression changed, but she couldn't directly state her purpose.

She simply said, "Ningxiang, Grandmother knows you have grievances against me, but we are, after all, grandmother and granddaughter, and you are the one I loved and raised."

There are no insurmountable obstacles or unsolvable knots between us, grandparents and grandchildren.

Grandma came to Jishetang today to take you home. Don't worry, Grandma will make it up to you properly once we get back.

As she spoke, she directly lifted Xu Ningxiang's blanket and tried to pull her out of bed.

Xu Ningxiang's expression changed. "Madam Xu, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me again?"

"Ningxiang, is this how your grandmother taught you since you were little? When did you start speaking so recklessly?"

The old lady of Anqing Marquis's face darkened.

Xu Ningxiang's face was equally gloomy. Without giving an inch, she grabbed the sky-blue teapot beside her and smashed it towards the door.

The cracking sound of shattering porcelain drew attention from outside the door.

Several guards immediately broke down the door and entered.

Dr. Hu followed suit and entered, "Oh dear, what happened? The patient needs to rest, you absolutely mustn't move her, she can't be moved right now."

"Get out!" The old lady of Anqing Marquis frowned irritably and shouted sternly.

Dr. Hu remained composed and said, "Madam, I know you are of noble status, but everyone at Jishetang is a patient. Is this... inappropriate?"

The old lady of the Marquis of Anqing narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Doctor Hu, you've treated quite a few high-ranking officials and nobles. You should know some of the rules, shouldn't you?"

"Of course I understand." Doctor Hu replied respectfully, then continued, "However, Miss Xu is seriously injured, and this is a crucial time for her bones to heal. She cannot be moved easily. You are a kind and compassionate person, surely you wouldn't be indifferent to this?"

Madam Xu narrowed her eyes, stared at Doctor Hu, and after a long while, she sneered and said, "In that case, your clinic should have stretchers, right?"

Go get the stretcher; I need to take my granddaughter home.

Doctor Hu objected, saying, "Madam, why are you in such a hurry? It's best not to move Miss Xu now, as the stretcher will inevitably bump and sway."

"If you want to bring your granddaughter home, there's no rush. Besides, I heard you've already found your biological granddaughter."

"Outrageous!" Old Madam Xu roared in anger, "Throw him out! Get a stretcher!"

Doctor Hu was dragged out by two guards from the Marquis of Anqing's residence.

After being thrown out, he anxiously looked towards the door, wondering when Miss Ying would arrive.

When Xu Ningxiang saw that they had actually brought the stretcher, her face turned as cold as ice.

While Madam Xu appeared kind, she stared at her with a threatening look in her eyes.

"Ningxiang, you are the child that your grandmother raised by hand. You wouldn't go against your grandmother's wishes, would you?"

Come on, let them carry you onto the stretcher.

Xu Ningxiang's face was full of disgust and impatience. "Although you raised me with your own hands, the two arrows in my back, everything in my abdomen, the broken bones and external injuries all over my body when I fell off the cliff are enough to repay your kindness in raising me all these years."

You know me. If you insist on taking me back today, then I'll die right here.

Then, I'll let everyone in the capital see how you forced my fake granddaughter to her death!

A curved knife appeared in her hand without her noticing. She was ruthless; she pressed the knife against her neck and stabbed it halfway into her flesh, drawing blood.

The guards, who were about to step forward to hug her, dared not go any further, because they could clearly see that every time they took a step forward, the blade would pierce her flesh a crack.

Madam Xu's pupils constricted, and the flesh on her face twitched, filled with both hatred and anger.

"Ningxiang, what are you doing? Don't you have any trust in your grandmother at all?"

Although your grandmother pressured you, she now knows she was wrong. Can't you give her another chance?

You are mine...

"That's enough," Xu Ningxiang interrupted her sarcastically.

"Madam Xu, you suddenly came to see me. Either you want to kill me to silence me, or you have some ulterior motive."

You might as well tell me directly what your purpose is.

Madam Xu stared at her with an inscrutable expression. "Alright, since that's the case, Grandma will get straight to the point. Where are your mother's belongings? Give them to Grandma. Grandma suddenly misses her very much and wants to look at her belongings to reminisce about the past."

Xu Ningxiang laughed, unable to contain her laughter, "This is so funny, Grandmother, have you forgotten how my mother died?"

"Aren't you afraid my mother will come looking for you in her dreams at night if you say things like that?"

Old Madam Xu's expression changed. She stared intently at Xu Ningxiang. "Good, good indeed! I've truly raised a wonderful granddaughter!"

After saying that, she ordered the four guards behind her, "Search!"

A horse sped from a distant street corner like a flying arrow, arriving at the entrance of Jishetang in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, Wushuang put her arm around Ying Yufu, and the two jumped off the horse together.

Upon hearing the horse's neigh, the waiter immediately ran out.

Ying Yufu said, "Tie the horse up."

"Alright!"

The man beamed with joy.

Miss Ying arrived far too quickly.

He stepped forward and took a look at the horse. His eyes lit up immediately. It was a full and elegant horse with long, flowing limbs and a glossy, chestnut coat. What a handsome horse!

This was actually an Akhal-Teke horse.

On the other side, Ying Yufu and Wushuang were about to go in when they were stopped by the guards of the Marquis of Anqing's mansion.

"Get out of the way! The Crown Prince's token is here!"

Wushuang took out a golden crown prince token from his waist.

The guards' expressions changed immediately, and after a moment's hesitation, they stepped aside.

Wushuang let out a cold laugh. These people from the Marquis of Anqing's mansion not only didn't kneel when they saw the Crown Prince's token, but they also hesitated.

Her eyes turned cold, and she seemed to be leading Ying Yufu directly into the room.

Xu Ningxiang looked pleasantly surprised when she saw them.

"Fur!"

Ying Yufu looked at the four guards from the Marquis of Anqing's residence who were searching the room and said, "Ningxiang, has your room been burgled? Should we report it to the authorities?"

Beside her, the ignored Old Madam Xu looked at Yu Fu with an icy expression: "You, the daughter of a divorced woman, a rebellious daughter who disowns her father and ancestors, what are you doing here?"

The atmosphere at the scene changed immediately after these words were spoken.

Wushuang exuded a chilling murderous aura.

Xu Ningxiang's face was as cold as ice. She stared at Old Madam Xu coldly and said:

"Madam Xu, what right do you, a thief who stole your husband's title, have to insult others?"

You forced your granddaughter to have an affair with a thief, attempting to have your nephew's son inherit the Marquis's mansion. You are unworthy of being a noblewoman, have failed the Emperor's grace, and are even more sorry to your grandfather.

A woman like you is unfaithful and unjust. If my grandfather knew this in the afterlife, he should divorce you!

"You dare to let your nephew plot to seize the Marquis's mansion? The entire Huang family should be exiled!"

Xu Ningxiang's voice was so loud that not only those inside the house but also those outside could hear it clearly.

Madam Xu was stunned.

She never expected that Xu Ningxiang, her own granddaughter, would accuse her like this.

"You, you, you..."

Madam Xu was so angry that she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Wushuang looked at Xu Ningxiang, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

This young girl is quite something; she's truly remarkable.

Ying Yufu was also shocked, then earnestly offered a suggestion: "Ningxiang, although what you said is true, no one will know if you say it like this. Why don't you write a complaint and send it to the government office to sue her!"

Madam Xu turned her head and stared at her in utter shock.

Ying Yufu said, "Madam Xu, don't glare at me. Many people heard what you just said about me. We'll confront His Majesty about it later."

Look at how you question His Majesty's decree of marriage.

After all, His Majesty praised me in that imperial edict, yet you insulted me, and even insulted my mother! Tsk!
