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

His first reaction was to look at the Crown Prince.

He wanted to see in the Crown Prince's eyes either a desire to curry favor with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, or a sense of apprehension.

But no.

There was nothing there.

The crown prince had a look on his face as if he had just heard a big surprise.

He not only watched the drama unfold, but he also had an angry expression on his face, as if he was completely engrossed in it.

He said, "If what Ge Da said is true, the late Marquis of Weiyuan, Ying Huanchong, really bribed the bandits of Yupan Mountain back then. This is a serious crime, no different from treason."

"Madam, I believe that Father will handle this matter impartially."

After he finished speaking, he glared indignantly at the Ying family.

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded solemnly.

It's an act, the Crown Prince must be faking it!

The second prince clenched his fists in resentment.

The Crown Prince must also be very wary of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and want to destroy it, but he has to put on a hypocritical act because of the situation.

That must be it!

Hmph, the Crown Prince is truly shrewd!

Ying Nanyao's mind went blank.

How did something perfectly normal become a crime of treason?

Treason is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

If that's the case, even an ironclad guarantee that would last forever with the nation wouldn't protect their family.

"No, Your Highness, that's not how it is!"

The crown prince completely ignored him.

Ying Nanyao then looked at the Dowager Lady of Zhenguo: "Mother-in-law, please don't listen to this servant's nonsense..."

"Shut up! Who's your mother-in-law?!"

The old nanny beside the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo rebuked her sternly.

Ying Nanyao quickly changed his tune: "Madam, how can you take this servant's words seriously?"

Perhaps this lackey had long harbored resentment towards the Ying family, which is why he deliberately framed them.

Madam, my late father would never have bribed the bandits of Jade Plate Mountain, much less scheme against Tang'er.

What a coincidence back then!

"It was me, it was me who saved Tang'er, it really was me who saved Tang'er, it wasn't a scheme, it wasn't!"

Ge Da immediately said, "Madam, I have a letter left by my father as proof, as well as an account book of the old Marquis's transactions with the bandits of Jade Plate Mountain."

They all thought the account book had been burned, but they didn't know that the old servant's father had secretly kept it to save his life.

But to my surprise, they were too ruthless; they didn't even give my father a chance to speak.

Ying Nanyao's expression changed drastically, and Old Madam Liu's eyes widened in terror as she roared hoarsely, "You wicked servants! You whole family of wicked servants!"

The murderous intent on the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's face intensified.

Ying Nanyao quickly looked at Shangguan Tang again, his face full of regret and affection: "Tang'er, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Back then, it was truly by chance that I happened to be passing by. I genuinely wanted to save you and also genuinely wanted to marry you.

All of this is the fault of that harlot Liu Xueyan.

"Tang'er, they say that even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. We once treated each other with respect and had children together. Please, for the sake of the children, put in a good word for me..."

"How dare you mention children?" Shangguan Tang shouted sharply, his eyes as cold as knives.

"When you hurt my children, did you ever think about the fact that they are your children?"

Shangguan Tang's eyes were filled with hatred: "Ying Nanyao, justice will prevail and retribution will come. The disgusting things your Ying family has done will be punished on your own."

Just looking at you makes me feel nauseous!

Shangguan Tang coldly turned her face away, not giving Ying Nanyao and Old Lady Liu another glance.

Old Liu realized that the Ying family was probably in real trouble this time.

In a panic, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly knelt down at Ying Yufu's feet.

"Fu'er, I beg you, please save the Ying family! You have Ying blood in your veins too, you also bear the Ying surname!"

As she spoke, she reached out to hug Ying Yufu's leg.

Ying Yufu kicked out almost instinctively.

Her kick was skillful; Old Liu was kicked so hard that she slid and knelt three meters away, completely stunned.

Ying Yufu looked at her with disdain: "When you harmed me and tricked me into drinking the infertility soup, did you ever think that I was also a member of the Ying family?"

But it doesn't matter. Your schemes failed, but the evil deeds you committed cannot be ignored.

What's wrong with my surname being Ying? My surname Ying has nothing to do with your Weiyuan Marquisate.

There are many people with the surname Ying in this world. Are they all from your Weiyuan Marquis's mansion?

Besides, my surname is Ying today, but tomorrow I can take my mother's surname, Shangguan, and the day after tomorrow I can take my maternal grandmother's surname, Mu. Whatever surname I want is my freedom.

Old Mrs. Liu stood there, stunned, her face pale and her eyes vacant.

Yes, what's the use even if they still have the surname Ying?

There are many people in the world with the surname Ying, but they have long since severed ties with them.

She looked at Ying Zhuoxiu, Ying Yutan, and even Liao Kong one by one, unwilling to give up.

Without exception, all she saw in their eyes was indifference and hatred.

That's the look you give an enemy.

Old Mrs. Liu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and her whole body turned ice cold. She suddenly realized that she had completely lost these real grandchildren.

Over the years, she has treated the illegitimate child born from Liu Xueyan's affair as a treasure, while discarding her own grandchildren like trash.

Ying Nanyao stared blankly at all of this, his eyes filled with intense despair.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully slapped them in the face, making Old Liu and Ying Nanyao realize reality and regret losing you two siblings. The system rewards you with 500 points, and your current balance is 4410 points.]

Their regret is only worth 500 points.

Ying Yufu scoffed.

[Host, even a small mosquito is still meat, and besides, 500 points is quite a lot.]

I know it's not that I think the points are too few, I just think their regret is so cheap.

Xiao Dian didn't reply, but at that moment, the system voice sounded in Ying Yufu's mind.

[Ding! The face-slapping mechanism has been triggered. Please expose Xuan Jing's true identity.]

[Little Dian, isn't Xuanjing a real monk? Does he have other identities? Who exactly is he?]

He was a true monk, but his other identity was that of a barbarian black magic sorcerer.

Is he a southern barbarian?

Ying Yufu's expression changed. The first thing that came to his mind was, if Xuanjing was a southern barbarian, then he had been in Huangjue Temple for more than ten years. What had he been doing in secret during those ten years?

[Host, all the black sorcerers of the Southern Barbarians bear the mark of the Hydra, which becomes visible when wet.]

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes, and thinking of Xuan Jing's action of taking the empty-handed knife earlier, a murderous intent suddenly arose in her heart.

Just as she was about to take down the Xuanjing herself, the Xuanjing, perhaps sensing the danger, suddenly fled into the distance.

Ying Yufu was about to chase after him when Liao Kong stopped her.

Liao Kong pointed to the ground, only to find that the area around them had been swarming with poisonous creatures.

There are snakes, poisonous centipedes, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, and unknown terrifying Gu worms.

Immediately, many terrified screams rang out from the crowd.

Ying Yufu was furious and said, "He's so cunning."

Liao Kong remained calm and said, "He will come back."
