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

The old lady's eyes widened in shock, her face contorted with extreme anger.

For a long time, she maintained that expression without moving, then rolled her eyes and fell straight backward.

She was so angry that she fainted.

"Madam!"

The head maid, Chunxi, exclaimed in alarm, "Quickly, call the physician! The old lady has fainted!"

Xia Huan, another of the old lady's head maids, hurriedly ran to fetch the family doctor.

The others went to check on Granny Du's condition.

Upon inspection, everyone's faces immediately turned pale.

Granny Du was barely breathing.

The three women, especially Shi Qi, were pale and looked terrified.

Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu dared to touch even the old lady's people, let alone them!

Right now, they have no choice but to cling to the old lady.

Without the protection of the old lady, Shangguan Tang would definitely not tolerate them.

Shou'an Hall was thrown into chaos.

Before long, the imperial physician and Ying Nanyao arrived together.

Chunxi was the physician summoned from Cuiwei Garden.

Previously, the prefectural physician treated Liu Xueyan at Cuiwei Garden.

When Liu Xueyan learned that her request for an imperial title had failed and that Ying Nanyao had been reprimanded by the emperor, she was heartbroken and wept incessantly.

One minute she's complaining of a stomachache, the next she's complaining of a chestache; in short, she's not feeling well at all.

Ying Nanyao felt extremely distressed and couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment towards the Emperor.

The emperor is too petty. It's been so many years since the old almanac was established, yet he still holds a grudge against the Liu family for what they said.

This prevented Yan'er from even becoming a titled lady.

Just as the two were deeply in love, Chunxi arrived again.

Ying Nanyao had no choice but to come to Shou'an Hall again.

The physician first examined the old man's condition and found that she had fainted because her emotions had fluctuated too much and her body could not withstand it.

After a few acupuncture treatments, the old lady slowly woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, two streams of murky tears flowed down her cheeks, and she cried out in anguish, "Hui'er, my Hui'er!"

Hui'er was Du Mama's maiden name.

The physician rushed to examine Granny Du, and upon examination, he was immediately alarmed.

"Doctor Zhang, is Hui'er alright?" the old lady asked, her body slumped on the couch.

The physician, Zhang, said with a grave expression, "Madam, this nanny is seriously injured. I will do my best to treat her, but the final outcome depends on her."

Upon hearing this, the old lady felt dizzy again.

"Ah! You slut! You vile woman!"

The old lady's voice cracked with hatred.

Her eyes were bloodshot with hatred as she gritted her teeth and said, "Someone, bring them all here!"

I want to see how bold they are, whether they dare to even lay a hand on an elder like me!

"Nan Yao, look at them! Do they still seem like the wives and daughters of a marquis? Their ruthless actions will ruin the reputation of my family!"

A sinister glint flashed in Ying Nanyao's eyes.

In the past two days, Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu have both behaved in a way that has greatly displeased him.

Their previous docility and obedience seemed to have vanished overnight.

"They used to be so docile and obedient, I thought they were good people, but I never expected this..."

The old lady wiped away her tears in anger.

Ying Nanyao said thoughtfully, "Mother, it seems that my request for Yan'er to be granted an official title has upset her."

"Jealous woman! She's already this jealous just because I'm asking for an official title for Yan'er. How jealous will she be when you ask for a title for Cheng Ting?"

"Mother, you're thinking too far ahead. Anyway, His Majesty doesn't agree to grant Yan'er an official title, so I'll take this opportunity to coax her and ask her to continue to do things for us."

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is about to fall, it's better to let her happily make the most of her last bit of value than to cause chaos and turmoil in the house.

Outsiders are watching!

The old lady thought about it and agreed.

"Even so, we can't let her off so easily!"

"Of course!" Ying Nanyao quickly agreed.

The old lady said bitterly, "If anything happens to Hui'er, she can forget about having that sickly daughter of hers!"

Ying Nanyao thought of Ying Yutan, who was often sickly.

The character 昙 means "in an instant".

They were destined not to live long.

"I want Shangguan Tang to come up with a million taels of silver before I'll feel at ease."

A million taels of silver was only a very small part for Shangguan Tang, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"I'll do as Mother says. When she arrives, I'll have her bring out a million taels of silver to please her."

"That's not all!"

A malicious glint flashed in the old lady's eyes.

"Yan'er, please don't grant her the title of Lady. Wasn't she just complaining of a stomachache?"

The physician from the Zhang family said it was a threatened miscarriage. He added that Shangguan Tang's dowry must contain many rare and precious herbs, and advised her to take some of them to Yan'er.

Ying Nanyao's heart stirred.

Indeed, it would be even better if Shangguan Tang could take out some treasures to nourish Yan'er's body.

"Mother is right," he agreed.

"Madam, I know that your dowry included a 500-year-old wild ginseng, in excellent condition!"

Standing cautiously to the side, Shiqi said ingratiatingly.

The old lady immediately looked at her, her eyes lighting up, and said, "You've been by Shangguan's side for so long, you must know that there are other good things in her private treasury. Go and make a list later, and I'll have Shangguan hand them all over."

"Hmph, she's committed such a grave mistake; she deserves to be punished."

Ying Yufu didn't expect that her chance to earn points would come again so soon.

As soon as you enter Shou'an Hall, a blue and white porcelain teacup flies towards you.

Ying Yufu turned her head to the side and dodged it.

"How dare you hide!" The old lady at the head of the table shouted angrily.

Ying Yufu's eyes were filled with coldness as she stared at the old lady and asked, "May I ask, old lady, what have I done wrong that you want to hit me?"

"You dare ask? Did you hit Granny Du?"

"Granny Du, Granny Du is disrespectful to her master and doesn't know the difference between superiors and inferiors. Those who know her would think she's a wicked servant bullying her master, but those who don't would think that the old lady instructed the servants to bully her daughter-in-law and granddaughter."

Ying Yufu said.

"What a silver tongue! How come I never noticed how eloquent you were before?" The old lady stared at her with malice.

Ying Yufu said, "There are many things you don't know."

The old lady gasped for breath in anger.

"Fine, fine, you dare talk back to me? Guards, slap him!"

At the old lady's command, two head maids, Chunxi and Xiahuan, came up.

They raised their hands to strike Ying Yufu's face.

Shangguan Tang's expression changed and he was about to stop him.

"Host, do you want the rebound skill? You can buy it three times for four points!" Xiao Dian's voice rang out at the right time.

【want!】

As soon as she finished speaking, a notification sounded in her mind that four points had been deducted. At the same time, Ying Yufu stood still and did not dodge, and even stopped Shangguan Tang from stopping her.

Several slaps came down in succession, but they didn't even touch Ying Yufu's body; they just hit the air.

However, the old lady let out several cries of pain, covering her face with a pained expression.

Chunxi and Xiahuan, however, seemed not to have noticed anything and continued to slap each other frantically.

Ying Yufu stared at them coldly.

The old lady's cries of pain grew louder and louder.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Ying Nanyao rushed forward.

"My face... hurts..." The old lady's speech was slurred.

She lowered her hand, and everyone looked over; there was nothing wrong with the old lady's face.

But every time Chunxi and Xiahuan slapped Ying Yufu, the old lady would cry out in pain.

Her face was fine, but suddenly, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and two molars rolled out.

The old lady immediately burst into tears.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully proven someone wrong. The system rewards you with 10 points.]

Ying Yufu was instantly delighted; she had earned ten points from four points—a great deal!

Chunxi and Xiahuan were exhausted from fighting when it suddenly dawned on them that they hadn't actually hit Ying Yufu at all.

The two looked at each other, both somewhat bewildered.

"Oh dear, madam, why did your tooth come out? Did you do too many bad things and this is your retribution?"

Ying Yufu looked surprised.

Upon hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she almost choked.

"Ying Yufu, you unfilial daughter, how dare you speak to your grandmother like that?" Ying Nanyao roared angrily.

"You're not convinced? Then hit me!" Ying Yufu continued to provoke.

It also has two rebound skills, this skill is incredibly useful.
