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

Black smoke billowed from the Cheng residence, and flames soared into the sky.

Just as the entire household was doing their best to put out the fire, Madam Cheng was nestled in Cheng Yunjing's arms and crying.

"Yun Jing, Zhi'er is my daughter. She is dead. As her mother, I am the most heartbroken."

I...I only have this one daughter. I've watched her grow up, and my heart aches so much, sob sob!

Cheng Yunjing hugged her, his face also showing helplessness. "I watched Zhier grow up. Although I am her older brother, an older brother is like a father, and I love her very much."

Don't be sad. You still have Mengjing. If you're truly heartbroken about losing Zhier, then have another one.

"Have another one?" Madam Cheng looked up at Cheng Yunjing with teary eyes.

Cheng Yunjing lowered his head and kissed her lips, and the two immediately became entwined.

"what!"

Ying Yufu covered her face in shock, but her fingertips parted slightly, revealing her two eyes.

The Crown Prince was also watching with great interest. "Fu'er, based on my judgment, Cheng Mengjing is the son of Madam Cheng and Cheng Yunjing."

"They actually have this kind of relationship? I heard that Cheng Xu'an's youngest son is twelve years old this year, which means that Madam Cheng and Cheng Yunjing have been together for twelve years?"

"They've kept this a secret for so many years, haven't Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi suspected anything?"

"No, they kept it a secret very well, but Cheng Zhier guessed it."

Ying Yufu's eyes darted around. "So, Your Highness, the excitement you mentioned... it can't be that Cheng Zhier is going to... tonight."

Before Ying Yufu could finish speaking, two groups of people came rushing towards them menacingly.

One group was led by Cheng Xu'an, and the other group was led by the Zhou family.

Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi came from two different directions and met face to face. They looked at each other and their expressions changed as if they had thought of something.

"Father, did you come here in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?" Zhou asked tentatively.

Cheng Xu'an's face was frighteningly ugly. He had received an anonymous note saying that his wife was having an affair with another man.

He didn't believe it, but the letter was full of provocative words, so he couldn't help but want to see it for himself.

Cheng Xu'an said, "It is indeed urgent. Daughter-in-law, what brings you here? Are you looking for your mother?"

Madam Cheng said, "To be honest, Father, I received a letter that said... bad things about my husband and mother."

The daughter-in-law was furious and came here specifically to ask her mother to intervene and find out which servant had stirred up trouble, so that her mother could arrest them.

She phrased it tactfully, but in reality, Cheng Xu'an knew that the note Zhou received was probably the same as his own.

He was already unsettled today because he was going to kill Cheng Zhier, and now that the note had come out, he was even more agitated.

However, when they arrived at Madam Cheng's courtyard, they discovered that Madam Zhou had also come for the note.

Cheng Xu'an's temples throbbed twice. If the affair was true, then who was the other man having an affair with Madam Cheng?

Cheng Xu'an didn't even dare to think about it.

He knew that someone was behind this, but he just couldn't stand being cheated on.

Cheng Xu'an glanced at Zhou Shi. It was too late to send her back and suppress the matter.

"Why haven't they gone in yet?" Ying Yufu asked anxiously from behind the artificial hill not far away.

The prince glanced behind him and said, "Feint to the east, give them a hand."

Suddenly, a pebble shot out from the shadows and opened the gate to Madam Cheng's courtyard.

Now, even if Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi don't want to go in, they probably have no choice but to.

Inside the room, Madam Cheng and Cheng Yunjing were locked in a fierce battle when the door was pushed open. Unaware of the danger, they continued their passionate encounter.

When Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi entered, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Although I had suspected it beforehand, seeing it with my own eyes was truly impactful.

So much so that the two of them were stunned for a long time. It wasn't until the battle ended and they hugged and kissed each other for a while that Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi came to their senses.

Zhou fell directly to the ground.

Cheng Xu'an clutched his chest and staggered.

The commotion finally caught the attention of the two people on the bed. They both stiffened and turned to look at them.

When Cheng Yunjing and his wife saw that Cheng Xu'an and Zhou Shi both looked increasingly grim, they were dumbfounded.

"ah--"

Madam Cheng pulled the blanket over herself and screamed in agony.

"You... you slut!" Cheng Xu'an caught his breath, drew the sword from his waist and stabbed at Madam Cheng.

"Father, calm down."

Cheng Yunjing stopped Cheng Xu'an, quickly regaining his composure.

"You! You unfilial son!" Cheng Xu'an stared at Madam Cheng with bloodshot eyes.

"Father, I know I was wrong. What's done is done, please don't be angry. I'll explain to you later."

"Son? You still know you're my son? What kind of son would cuckold his father?" Cheng Xu'an gasped for breath.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince, who had already moved to the rooftop, were whispering to each other.

The Crown Prince said, "Tsk tsk, things are probably not over yet."

Ying Yufu also has points. If it's Cheng Zhier's revenge, things are definitely not over yet.

Just as the two were thinking this, a group of people arrived at the Cheng family's gate.

At first glance, wow, they were all second or third-rank officials in the imperial court.

Some of them were Cheng Xu'an's old rivals.
