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

As soon as Lu Zhaodi said this, laughter erupted from the crowd.

Is this woman suffering from hysteria?

Look at what she's saying! She claims her son is the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion, but why doesn't she just say he's the son of a prince?

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu, who were watching the commotion in the crowd, were instantly speechless.

"She really has the nerve to say that!" Ying Yufu said.

"I've seen plenty of people like her; they're all thick-skinned than most!" the Crown Prince explained knowingly.

Ying Yufu nodded in understanding.

The two of them spoke with great seriousness.

The old Marquis Xuanwu frowned slightly, then sneered. This Lu Zhaodi really knew how to use someone else's name to intimidate others.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Where's Liu Aniu? Why didn't he come?"

She was still hoping Liu Aniu would stand up for her.

Lu Zhaodi comforted her, "Xing'er, don't worry. Listen to your mother, Liu Aniu has made it big."

As you know, she's not our biological daughter; she was adopted by our parents.

Now that Liu Aniu's biological parents have come looking for him, they have learned that Liu Aniu is actually the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion!

"Xing'er, Liu Aniu is angry with our parents, but he has to acknowledge you as his sister. He raised you single-handedly, and he used to love you very much. Of course he'll accept you."

Lu Zhaodi said this partly to Liu Hongxing, but also to everyone.

Not only the onlookers, but even Lord Zhao and the woman exchanged a glance, a hint of suspicion flashing in their eyes.

The old woman spoke as if it were the truth, and it was quite intimidating.

"Hey, I'm from Xiaoxi Village. Liu Aniu really isn't Liu Youcai's biological son. It's just that his family used to insist that he was their biological son, so no one said anything. But everyone knows the truth."

Among the crowd were villagers from Xiaoxi Village.

Lord Zhao's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty, while the woman slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily, shouting, "Ignorant country bumpkin! How dare you make such a fuss about the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion! You truly don't know your place! Guards, beat her severely! Kill her and it's no big deal!"

Immediately, two maids stepped forward and beat Lu Zhaodi severely.

Lu Zhaodi let out a series of screams and curses.

A hint of ferocity flashed in the woman's eyes as she glared fiercely at Lord Zhao and said angrily, "Zhao Yongquan, let me tell you, don't forget who your master is. Who is supporting you to become the governor of Xishui Town?"

Zhao Yongquan's expression changed, and he said repeatedly, "Madam, please forgive me. I had no other intentions. How could Liu Hongxing, a mere village girl, be worthy of being compared to you, Madam?"

"If she hadn't shamelessly seduced me in every way, how could I have fallen for her tricks?"

As Lord Zhao spoke, he stepped forward and gently massaged the woman's shoulders in a fawning manner, which immediately drew another burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Stop! Stop right now! How dare you hit me? My son is the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion! You don't believe me, do you?"

Lu Zhaodi screamed in agony.

"You dare to treat us like this today. When I go to the capital to file a complaint, the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion will definitely not let you off the hook."

"Don't even mention you, Zhao Yongquan; even the county magistrate would have to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhao's eye twitched again.

A murderous glint flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Has this village woman gone mad? Does she really think her son is the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion?"

"Maybe what she said is true? I heard that several luxurious carriages went to Xiaoxi Village today."

"Is this really true?"

"There really is!"

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

The two maids who were whipping her stopped and looked at the woman.

A hint of pleasure flashed in Lu Zhaodi's eyes. These people don't believe it now, but they'll regret it later.

She glared at Lord Zhao with particular resentment. This man had taken her daughter's body but refused to marry her, leaving her daughter to be a mistress who couldn't be seen by others.

Now, she looks down on Zhao Yongquan in every way.

She said to Liu Hongxing, "Hongxing, Zhao Yongquan is just a minor official in the town. He is not good enough for you at all!"

This child, it's good that you miscarried. You're destined to be the daughter of a marquis in the capital, and maybe even a princess!

The man you will marry in the future will also be a talented young man from the capital.

"Come home with your mother now. Once you've recovered, we'll go to the capital to find your brother and become a princess!"

The more she talked about it, the more convinced she became that it was true.

Among the crowd, the old Marquis Xuanwu looked shocked.

He simply couldn't believe that Lu Zhaodi was so utterly shameless!

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince were also dumbfounded. Lu Zhaodi, she really dared to think that way!

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.

Zhao Yongquan was furious and embarrassed. How dare this village woman talk to him like that!

The woman also sneered repeatedly.

Liu Hongxing truly lived up to her reputation as Lu Zhaodi's biological daughter; as she listened to what Lu Zhaodi said, a burning light gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Mother, is what you're saying true? Is Liu Aniu really the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion?"

Lu Zhaodi was hit by several rattan canes, and her clothes were torn in several places, with blood seeping out.

But she stubbornly refused to complain of pain, her face pale, and instead, her eyes shone with an alarming intensity.

"How could your mother lie to you? Everyone in Xiaoxi Village knows about this."

As she spoke, she looked at the crowd and said, "If anyone doesn't believe me, they can go to Xiaoxi Village and ask around."

"Hmph, you'll regret hitting me today."

She gave the woman a cold smile.

The woman stared at her with a sinister look in her eyes.

Lu Zhaodi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she stubbornly retorted, "Don't glare at me. You're just the magistrate's niece. Don't even think about harming our family. If you do, even the magistrate can't protect you!"

The woman's hand, clutching the handkerchief, tightened silently.

This village woman doesn't seem to have hysteria.

"Mother, can I really become the daughter of a marquis? Why didn't Liu Aniu come to town to pick me up? Where did he go?"

Lu Zhaodi's eyes flickered. "Him..."

Lu Changshen then said, "Judging by their pace, A Niu and the others shouldn't have gone far; they should still be in town."

What? The heir of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion is in town?

This caused quite a stir not only among the onlookers, but also surprised Zhao Yongquan and the woman.

Just then, Lu Zhaodi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xing'er, it's him, it's A-Niu! He really is still in town, he's come!"

Lu Zhaodi pointed in a direction.

The crowd immediately looked in the direction Lu Zhaodi was pointing.

After Liu Aniu and the Marquis of Xuanwu and his wife finished their meal, they strolled out to look for the old Marquis of Xuanwu and the others.

The lively atmosphere was very appealing, so they followed the crowd.

But when Liu Aniu came over, his expression changed slightly.

The Marquis of Xuanwu and his wife, who were always watching him, immediately showed concern.

"Ah Niu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing the two looking at him nervously, Liu Aniu felt a mix of emotions. He quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that it seems Liu Hongxing lives in this house."

Just as the Marquis of Xuanwu and his wife were about to ask if Liu Hongxing was perhaps the daughter of the Liu family, Lu Zhaodi rushed over through the crowd.

"Ah Niu, Ah Niu, please save your sister! She's being beaten to death!"

Lu Zhaodi rushed over and tried to hug Liu Aniu.

Liu Aniu's face tightened, and he subtly dodged backward.

Lu Zhaodi missed her target, and her tearful face stiffened for a moment.

At that moment, Liu Hongxing also saw Liu Aniu through the crowd.

At this moment, Liu Aniu was dressed in fine clothes, and his hair was neatly tied up, so he actually looked quite noble.

Beside him, a much wealthier couple were protecting him with concern.

This is completely different from the Liu Aniu who used to be dressed in rags and could only be ordered around by her.

Liu Hongxing finally realized that her mother hadn't lied to her; he really was the heir of the Xuanwu Marquis's mansion!

For a moment, Liu Hongxing stared blankly at the glamorous Liu Aniu and wondered why such a good thing had happened to that bastard Liu Aniu.

Such immense wealth should rightfully belong to her!
